Learning about prayer

I just opened the book, “Understanding The Purpose And Power Of Prayer: Earthly License For Heavenly Interference”, by Dr. Myles Munroe. I'm currently reading the introduction and here are the key points the author plans to explain through the book:

Four principles to understanding the importance of prayer:
* God's purpose is more important than our plans.
* God has placed His Word above even Himself.
* God will never violate or break His word.
* God's holiness is the foundation of His integrity and faithfulness.

God created seven primary laws:
* The legal authority to dominate earth was given to mankind only.
* God did not include Himself in the legal authority structure over the earth.
* Man became the legal steward of the earth domain.
* Man is a spirit with a physical body; therefore, only spirits with physical bodies can legally function in the earth realm.
* Any spirit without a body is illegal on earth.
* Any influence or interference from the supernatural realm on earth is only legal through mankind.
* God Himself, who is a Spirit without a physical body, made Himself subject to this law.

The result of these God established laws:
* The legal authority on earth is in the hands of humankind.
* The Creator, because of His integrity, will not violate the law of His Word.
* Nothing will happen in the earth realm without the active or passive permission of man, who is its legal authority.
* The Creator and the heavenly beings cannot interfere in the earth realm without the cooperation or permission of mankind.
* God must obtain the agreement and cooperation of a person for whatever He desires to do in the earth.

What is prayer?
* Prayer is man giving God the legal right and permission to interfere in earth's affairs.
* Prayer is man giving heaven earthly license to influence earth.
* Prayer is a terrestrial license for celestial interference.
* Prayer is man exercising his legal authority on earth to invoke heaven's influence on the planet.
