Description:

As we dive into the Father’s heart we are overwhelmed by His presence, the fullness of
joy. From this place we begin to see from His perspective. As we see and understand His
world we are compelled to intercede. We are now praying and speaking with fresh insight.
We see that we no longer have to pray from a place of defense. Instead, we pray
offensive prayers from His presence. When we speak our petitions and most importantly
our declarations into the atmosphere, authority and breakthrough come. From the intimate
place with our Father, everything is birthed.

Review

I love this book! It may be the best book on prayer ever. The Happy Intercessor is alive with Presence. Learn the secret of the secret place: how to capture the heartbeat of heaven and pray it into our world but be happy while you re at it. The first opportunity I had to fellowship with Beni she invited me for a walk around her city. As we went over the now famous Sundial Bridge mentioned in Chapter 4 (where we find out how to own your city) the thing that impacted me most was her joy. It was not noisy joy. And it felt like Heaven listened when she spoke. Beni seemed thoroughly at rest, confident in a big God, so aware of the world around, and so alive with the sense that when she prayed earth obeyed. I know now that she got that through her journey into God s heart. If you live it, you can give it away. That is what Beni does in this book. The Happy Intercessor is a gift for every person hungry to know God face to face. This book is a must for every person seeking significance. From classical theology with a down-to-earth prophetic twist to mastering the mystical realm, The Happy Intercessor is practical, pragmatic, and personal. Take this book and lay down in God...I think you ll find you re soaring! --Bonnie Chavda, Cofounder of The Watch of the Lord

I have read no less than 40 books on intercession. Some challenged me to pray more, others helped me to see God s design for prayer, but few kept my rapt attention like Beni Johnson s The Happy Intercessor. This is one of the most interesting books on intercession I have ever read. Beni has the unique ability to blend the heavenly with the practical through her own life stories and biblical insight. This is a must read for every person called to intercession, especially if you are having trouble being consistent at it. --John Paul Jackson, Found of Streams Ministries International

I have known Beni Johnson for more than 30 years. I have watched her relationship with God grow into one of the most beautiful love stories that has ever been told. Just spending a few minutes with her will cause you to hunger for more intimacy with the Father and will remind you of your first love. The Happy Intercessor is more than a good book on prayer; it is a Holy Spirit journey into the very heart of the Father. This book could revolutionize the way you relate to God on every level. Let the journey begin! --Kris Vallotton, Cofounder, Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry
