Intercessory prayer is spiritual warfare that overcomes the kingdom of darkness. In Awaken Prayer, renowned pastor and intercessor Jack Hayford lays out a vision and a biblical framework for intercessory prayer. Drawing deeply from Scripture, he urges believers to embrace their priestly roles as vigilant watchmen entrusted with the spiritual care and protection of their families, churches, cities, and nations. Intercessors are God's instruments, and intercessory prayer unleashes His promises and invites His kingdom into every sphere of life. Awaken Prayer stands as a poignant, timely call for believers to rededicate themselves to the vital work of intercession. Pastor Jack stirs our hearts and opens our eyes to see how intercessory prayer strikes at demonic strongholds, participates in God's shaking work to break their power, and brings healing into people's lives. As believers unite in intercessory prayer, the kingdom of God advances. Jack Hayford wrote or collaborated on over 100 books and composed over 600 songs.

He was the founding pastor of The Church On The Way in Van Nuys, California, where he served as the senior pastor for more than three decades. Pastor Jack also served as the Chancellor Emeritus of The King's University and an apostolic elder at Gateway Church in Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas.
