Prayer is our lifeline unto God and unto our Lord Jesus Christ, for repentance or just to enter times of entering our Heavenly Fathers presence. Prayer is our telephone call unto God, so to speak. However, though many Christians, never pray as they should and because of a prayerlessness life, many are spiritually robbed of God's love, being revealed unto them. Many of Gods Children are so caught up in this world and its formalities that many seldom realize that they are even in a spiritual lack at all because of being fleshly minded, not having their minds renewed, as the Bible teaches us to not be conformed unto this world. The Bible teaches us not to be conformed to this world. This one statement should rise up the eyebrows of every Christian. So that every believer could spiritually realize that they must become spiritually conscious that this world blinds us spiritually, from learning about spiritual truths. The Christians mind must be spiritually awakened to learn the truth of true prayer and worship and the purpose of prayer and worship, unto God. Letting this worlds ways pass from the hearts and minds of every believer because of their minds being renewed that the Christian has grown past fleshly thinking concerning prayer. That prayer has become a normal way of life for every Child of God. For any believer not to have a good Biblical prayer life, would be unheard of and a thing of the past. Are you here, my dear reading friend, in your spiritual growth and your walk with God? When I said that prayer was our lifeline unto God and the way that we are spiritually entered into Gods Holy presence, this statement is all true and all Christians must realize it and begin to practice real prayer to be entered into the presence of our Heavenly Father and His love. If every Child of God knew how important prayer was, to their living in life and dwelling in God's grace, many would change their lives forever, as God truly desires in the first place. The purpose of writing a book like this little nugget, as a small read, yet it has its purpose and contains everything that God purposely placed in its anointed pages, just for the thirsty readers drink of water for the day.

About the Author: My name is Pastor Luke L. Chapman. I haven't always been a preacher, quite the contrary. When I was a young teenager everyone always said: "Boy what a good kid Luke is. He is a wonderful young man." Because of a stepfather that had no love for me, my clothes were packed for me and placed on the front porch on Christmas morning. Arrangements were already made for a near friend to pick me up to take me to my real dad's home. This became a cycle unto me. I learned soon to take flight in life, realizing I'm on my own. I was kicked out of school for truancy, failure to want to go to school and to learn. This started a foundation for my life, for my ongoing future. My new friends taught me how to smoke, drink, and cuss and to tell lies. I graduated to smoking weed and using cocaine. I never drank or used cocaine on a regular basis. I just started on weekends or invited parties. I got married and had a Child when I was 21 years old. But, with a lifestyle of drinking, spending money in bars and not on bills or in my home, I soon went through a divorce. Does this sound familiar, like today's youths? At this time, now I'm remarried my wife and I are both cocaine addicts. My wife smoked weed? I sold weed and cocaine to supply our habits. My wife left me one day. I was arrested the same day and put in jail. In jail, I bowed my knees on the floor in my cell. I was the only one there that day. I called upon Jesus and was saved and sent to North Central Correctional Institution. I never thought anyone cared. But I was so wrong. What was meant for evil for me, God changed for the good. Prison became My Bible College. Prison was where God counseled me about my morals. God taught me about being a good husband, a good father unto my Children and how a preacher must live and act. I served six and a half years in prison to learn not do use drugs, not to walk through life aimlessly. I learned my lesson. God raised me up to be a preacher in prison. Prison was my lifesaver. Wow, what a statement one might say! The reason prison was my lifeline was I could have graduated to the other side of life... Six Feet Down. I almost did! I had a heart attack, just before I was sent to prison, from smoking crack cocaine. I almost died. Your Friend... The Harley Davidson Preacher Man Luke L. Chapman Gods Vision...
