Many are called into the prophetic ministry do not understand the constant breaking they must go through. To receive the anointing they must posses to carry out God's will on Earth. And as a result, the people they are called to assist often mislabel them, misunderstand them and misinterpret their actions. Apostle Dedric Hubbard releases a profound and in-depth wealth of wisdom, revelation and understanding in his newest release A Prophet's Cry. As he brings knowledge and attention to the silent pain prophets endure to carry out the instructions God gives them. In this powerful book he deals with 7 key areas that many misunderstand about prophets. Those 7 areas are: 1. A Prophet's Love 2. A Prophet's Compassion 3. A Prophet's Protection 4. A Prophet's Relationship 5. A Prophet's Obedience 6. A Prophet's Failure 7. A Prophet's Atittude
Miyonda Carter was once a new Christian, fresh from the sinful sea of life in the world. While attempting to grow in the Lord and learn the protocols of the church, Miyonda was full of zeal and passion as she embraced a new beginning as a born-again believer. Unfortunately it did not take long before she was introduced to the reality that everything she was learning in the Bible was not being exhibited within the church. In a collection of poems, prayers, and stories, Miyonda reflects on her personal journey as she discovered her spiritual gifting, grew in God, and learned to accept his unfailing love. While also focusing on helping others grow and strengthen their own intimate relationships with the Lord, Miyonda explores how the journey of a believer can be discouraging at times while providing encouragement and hope for spiritual seekers craving deep introspection that goes beyond the shallowness of regular church services and weekly Bible studies. A Prophet’s Cry shares inspirational poems, prayers, and personal stories that will lift others up to embrace God’s power and grace and break the barriers that stand between us and an intimate relationship with our Father.
From Genesis to Revelation, the Bible proclaims justice and abundance for the poor. Yet these powerful passages about poverty are frequently overlooked and misinterpreted. Enter the Poor People's Campaign, a movement against racism, poverty, ecological devastation, militarism, and religious nationalism. In We Cry Justice, Liz Theoharis, co-chair of the campaign, is joined by pastors, community organizers, scholars, low-wage workers, lay leaders, and people in poverty to interpret sacred stories about the poor seeking healing, equity, and freedom. In a world roiled by poverty and injustice, Scripture still speaks. Organized into fifty-two chapters, each focusing on a key Scripture passage, We Cry Justice offers comfort and challenge from the many stories of the poor taking action together. Read anew the story of the exodus that frees people from debt and slavery, the prophets who denounce the rich and ruling classes, the stories of Jesus's healing and parables about fair wages, and the early church's sharing of goods. Reflection questions and a short prayer at the end of each chapter offer the opportunity to use the book devotionally through a year. The Bible cries for justice, and we do too. It's time to act on God's persistent call to repair the breach and fight poverty, not the poor.
What do the feasts of the Bible reveal about our place in today’s tired world? In short, everything. From Genesis through Revelation, redemptive history is captured through feasts. Through them, God calls his people to commemorate mercy, delight in grace, and commune with him and with each other. In the process, he proves he doesn’t ration his rich, soul-satisfying love toward us but instead lets it overflow. Invitations to Abundance brings to life the festivities described in the Bible and illuminates how relevant they remain in a modern world defined by isolation and disillusionment. When your heart needs encouragement, these wondrous celebrations remind you why, where, and how you can find security, unity, and hope. Each chapter seats us at a unique feast from Scripture—from the well known to the less familiar—and considers how you can respond worshipfully as a partaker of these celebrations. Invitations to Abundance shows you how to reciprocate God’s initiating kindness and what it means to live knowing God’s table is spread before you.
WHEN A PROPHET CRIES BOOK SUMMARY: When a prophet cries is a practical book about the prophetic calling that will inspire the spiritually mature as well as the milk drinker. One day as I was listening to the Holy Spirit, He asked me what is 7 x 7. I was so stunned by the question that I could hardly recall the answer. He went on to ask how old are you? It occurred to me that both answers were 49. He continued... That you may know I still use my prophets to mark certain events, go to Leviticus 25. When I began to read about the 7 x 7 years in the eighth chapter, I was flabbergasted! I realized that my age directly correlates to the year of overflow preceding the year of Jubilee for this season. I asked the Lord for confirmation of this fresh revelation and He gave it. I was listening to a bible on cassette one day and the following words leaped out at me And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth. On another day these words seemed to leap from the pages I was reading, And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee. I remember thinking the sixth month of what. It was then that the Spirit of God took me to this verse in Luke 1:36 And behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren.!!! This book was written by the inspiration and insistence of the Holy Spirit. He anointed me to write and I obeyed. The result was a book that has activated many of my sample audience to seek a closer relationship with God. A teenaged reader said that she began to cry while reading "When a prophet cries!" and she has felt closer to the Lord ever since. She said that her whole life was changed. A young lady from my gym said that is an awesome book. I just had to read it over and over. I have received countless phone calls from people commenting on how their lives have been touched by this writing. I believe this writing will attest to the fact that God has a personal interest in His people, so much so that He has mandated that the prophets speak forth his heart to them. I am anointed to write for this season to a people who are hungry and thirsty for the living word of God. Though many messages have gone before this book is a holy designation for that portion of the body of Christ that are desiderate for a rhema from the Spirit of God!
The greatest days of the prophetic movement are right around the corner! They will be full of an exposing of that which is counterfeit, carnal, and self-serving and a release of a new prophetic generation who have been hidden, consecrated, and forged in the fire for such a time as this. God is calling His prophetic voices back to the place of intimacy and intercession, character transformation and embracing every aspect of His character and nature, and radical accountability that produces healthy relationship with church leadership. It is only through responding to this urgent invitation that necessary change will come to the prophetic ministry in America.
In this comprehensive and thought-provoking study, Terence Fretheim focuses on the theme of divine suffering, an aspect of our understanding of God which both the church and scholarship have neglected. Maintaining that "metaphors matter," Fretheim carefully examines the ruling and anthropomorphic metaphors of the Old Testament and discusses them in the context of current biblical-theological scholarship. His aim is to broaden our understanding of the God of the Old Testament by showing that "suffering belongs to the person and purpose of God".
Aiden Wilson Tozer (April 21, 1897 - May 12, 1963) was an American Christian pastor, author, magazine editor, and spiritual mentor. For his work, he received two honorary doctoral degrees. Tozer hailed from a tiny farming community in western La Jose, Pennsylvania. He converted to Christianity as a teenager, in Akron, Ohio; while on his way home from work at a tire company, he overheard a street preacher say, "If you don't know how to be saved ... just call on God, saying, 'Lord, be merciful to me a sinner.'" Upon returning home, he climbed into the attic and heeded the preacher's advice. In 1919, five years after his conversion and without formal theological training, Tozer accepted an offer to serve as pastor of his first church. That began 44 years of ministry, associated with the Christian and Missionary Alliance (C&MA), a Protestant Evangelical denomination, 33 served as a pastor in a number of churches. His first pastorate was in a small storefront church in Nutter Fort, West Virginia. Tozer also served as pastor for 30 years at Southside Alliance Church, in Chicago (1928 to 1959), and the final years of his life were spent as pastor of Avenue Road Church, in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. In observing contemporary Christian living, he felt the church was on a dangerous course toward compromising with "worldly" concerns. Born into poverty, Tozer was self-educated and taught himself what he missed in high school and college. In May 1950, Tozer was elected as the editor of the Alliance Weekly magazine, now Alliance Life, a role he filled until his death in 1963. Alliance Life is the official publication of the C&MA and is currently a bi-monthly magazine. From his first editorial, titled Quality vs Quantity dated June 3, 1950, Tozer wrote, "It will cost something to walk slow in the parade of the ages, while excited men of time rush about confusing motion with progress. But it will pay in the long run and the true Christian is not much interested in anything short of that." Among the more than 60 books that bear his name, most of which were compiled after his death from sermons he preached and articles he wrote, at least two are regarded as Christian classics: The Pursuit of God and The Knowledge of the Holy. Many of his books impress on the reader the possibility and necessity for a deeper relationship with God. (wikipedia.org)
The American church avoids lament. But lament is a missing, essential component of Christian faith. Soong-Chan Rah's prophetic exposition of the book of Lamentations provides a biblical and theological lens for examining the church's relationship with a suffering world. Hear the prophet's lament as the necessary corrective for Christianity's future.
