RELEASING THE POWER OF PRAYER

Featuring David Chotka & Dr. Stephen Phinney

In this riveting episode, Dr. Stephen Phinney sits down with seasoned pastor and prayer strategist David Chotka to explore the supernatural power of prayer and its inseparable link to the indwelling Holy Spirit. With decades of ministry experience between them, these two spiritual leaders unpack how prayer is not merely communication with God—it is communion with the Spirit of God who dwells within every authentic believer.

David Chotka brings a wealth of insight into the mechanics of Spirit-led prayer, sharing testimonies of divine intervention, healing, and breakthrough that emerged when believers prayed not from fleshly desperation, but from Spirit-filled authority. He and Dr. Phinney discuss how the Holy Spirit doesn’t just empower prayer—He initiates it, groaning within us with intercession that transcends human language (Romans 8:26). Together, they challenge listeners to move beyond formulaic petitions and into Spirit-breathed declarations that align with heaven’s agenda.

Dr. Phinney emphasizes that the indwelling Spirit is not a passive presence but a living force—one that stirs the believer to pray in accordance with God’s will, timing, and character. When prayer flows from the Spirit within, it becomes a weapon of warfare, a balm of healing, and a channel of divine wisdom. The conversation touches on the difference between soulish prayer and Spirit-led intercession, exposing how cultural Christianity often substitutes emotion for anointing.
