    About this ebook

    In Life we are either fighting for peace and living in peace, or are engaged in a battle that we feel we are rapidly losing. Austin's personal and uplifting stories of God's lavish love, from a man who has stood on the frontline of many military and spiritual battles, remind us that we are created to live in deep intimacy with God.

    Wherever you are on your spiritual journey, this book will encourage you and refine you in the basic training necessary to every follower of Jesus Christ. Above All, it has the potential to draw you ever deeper into the love affair with your Maker. Life's obstacles will come - that is for sure. This book, however, offers us proven ways to move beyond our trials and into the arms of our heavenly Father.

      Foreword

      In my almost two decades of interactions with the Bible, the Church, people of prayer and God, I have learned three valuable lessons. First, that prayer works. When I pray, I get results. When I don’t pray, life is a struggle. I have also observed that although people who pray may be buffeted by life challenges like everyone else, they tend to brace those challenges with a sense of grace that goes beyond the expected human reaction. Prayer worked for King David. It works for me. It has worked for Austin Makota. And I am sure it will work for you.

      Second, prayer is for weak people. Weak people are those who may need help at one point in life. It is those who look for direction in life and are in need of wisdom. It is those who may be broke, and who may be in financial trouble. It is those who may get sick and may have a history of failure. Weak people are also those who encounter relationship difficulties from time to time, who are bowed down by life’s challenges, and who are falsely accused. Those who are prone to fears that go beyond the wisdom of science or the superiority of knowledge, and those who may find themselves lonely in a world of over six billion people, are also weak people. If any of the above applies to you, you are a weak person and you may need to pray.

      Third, I have learned that it is actually down at God’s feet where we are elevated to places of significance and influence. The angels and the 24 elders in Heaven have learned that at God’s feet rests their source of power and glory. Down at God’s feet we find our own needs met and those of the world around us. Down at God’s feet we are empowered to change our world and be positive role models. It is only at His feet where we are truly safe, secure and sensible.

      In Pray Your Way Through & Pray your way out Austin Makota has shown us that when weak people go down at God’s feet, they are not diminished and finished; they are, rather, energized and empowered. When weak people go down at God’s feet and pray, it works. I join Austin Makota in urging you to pray your way through all the way. Whoever you are or wherever you are, you have an easy, free and open way to your dream—if only you can pray!

      Preface

      Has the enemy trapped you in a place you feel you can’t escape?

      Has life ditched you so many blows, that you just can’t fight back or you feel you won’t possibly win?

      I’ve been there. I have been down and even counted out. Only one thing brought me back. Prayer. Yes, prayer. I learned how to pray my way through and pray my way out. I learned how to pray when I was down, I learned how to pray when I lost, I learned how to pray even when I couldn’t trace God. Just because I couldn’t trace Him, it doesn’t mean that he wasn’t there. I prayed my way through.

      Listen; there is one thing that God gave you that no one can take away from you. He gave you your very own place at the foot of the cross. There is a spot right by Jesus’ foot side where you are just one touch away, and one whisper away from Him. That place will never be taken by another, it’s yours for the taking.

      You may not be the macho spiritual warrior, or the pastor. Maybe you’re not even like David who was known to be a man after Gods own heart. But there is one thing God said to these macho men and heroes of faith that he says to all who believe in Him. He says ‘I will be with you’.

      He said it to Abraham, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, Noah, David, Daniel, Peter, James John, Bishop TD Jakes, Pastor E.A Adeboyi, Bishop Imakando, and Pastor Victor and now He is saying it to you.

      God knows that the road ahead is rocky. But he made the rocks. God said if you have faith as a mustard seed you can say to this Mountain, move so I can go through.

      I stopped asking God to take away what ever was happening when I first laid my eyes on these word ‘he would not put more on you that you can bear’. I learnt to give thanks in all situations. I learned to look to the hills and know that beyond them lies the answer to my situation. So I asked God to give me steady feet and the faith to move mountains.

      The solution to your problem lies in your mouth. My pastor always says ‘every man’s mountain is the level of their ignorance. What mountain stands in your way today? Name it. Bring it down. Let it not be the reason you don’t move up and shine.

      Zachariah 4:7

      Who art thou, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain.

      My prayer for you is that as you read this little mustard seed filled with Gods words, your story will change for good.

      How should we approach God?

      Its not that you won’t have trouble in your life,

      but trouble won’t have you.

      Can God be approached? How do we approach someone whom we can’t see?

      Is He even watching us? What should we call him? Should we call him Sir or Your Honor? All this sounds absurd but even believers often just want to stumble into Gods presence. With No reverence, and no awe of Him. We tread where even angels fear to tread and we walk in with a shopping list like God was some grocery shop owner.

      Psalm 100 shows us how we ought to come into His Presence.

      Three must do’s as we approach God.

      1.  Singing

      2.  Thanksgiving

      3.  Hallow His name.

      Psalms 100

      1  Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands.

      2  Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence with singing.

      There it is. The answer to our opening questions is that Yes God can be approached. Yes God does have names and yes when you approach Him the right way, you know He is there because you become aware of His presence. God is present whenever we reverence Him or stand in awe of Him. But whether you are aware of it or not, He is watching over
