Here is a book that will build your faith, give you confidence, and restore hope for yourself and everyone in your life. You will learn how to put your faith in God and God alone-every minute of every day. For the average Christian in the United States, faith is not part of daily life. It is possible to live for months relying on credit cards, medical professionals, insurance, the government, etc., rather than placing faith in God. Rarely do we cast ourselves upon God in naked desperation. When faith is fully understood and properly developed, it assures great victories over the evil one and all of his forces. ...I say to you, "If you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you" (Matthew 17:20).The devoted purpose of this book is to arm you with faith that moves mountains-mountains of stress, disappointment, loneliness, burdens, and sadness. Faith ushers in peace and joy unspeakable!
Divine (Godhead) Principles is a Christian book that is normally based on the fundamental doctrine of all truth which is Jesus Christ and it encourages us to apply biblical principles in order to obtain biblical blessings, and it is a powerful tool which will help readers to understand who they are in the Lord, Jesus Christ especially in this end-times where people are running away from the truth. This book contains fresh revelations from the spirit whereby God is teaching about the third dimension principles (The holiest things of the heavenly places). This doctrine introduces us to the Kingship and the Lordship of Jesus Christ which lives inside of us; there let us rule over the circumstances of life and exercise dominion over demonic and satanic powers. You are born of an incorruptible seed of Abraham, you are incorruptible; the favour (the unlimited grace) of the Lord is upon you.
Is living a prophetic life only for those who are on some higher spiritual plane? Or have we unnecessarily complicated the gifts of the Spirit? If you want to sharpen your focus in the prophetic, then this book will help you to experience fresh Holy Spirit revelation. From the foundation of godly character development, The Nature of the Prophetic will show you how to express your gift with clarity and humility, and how to grow in intimacy with God. As you read this book, you will: · Learn to cultivate spiritual awareness · Discover keys to the delivery and timing of the prophetic · Understand the importance of spiritual gifts in the Church and the wider community · Develop your prophetic gift in alignment with the mind, will and intention of God The Nature of the Prophetic is a practical, easy to read guide which will help you develop your spiritual gifts. Based on James 3:17, the book teaches on the essential qualities needed to live a prophetic life. While this book is focused on the prophetic, the principles and outworking of the nature of the prophetic are relevant for each and every spiritual gift, not just the gift of prophecy. In particular, those gifts that involve giving a ‘word’ (words of wisdom, knowledge, prophecy, encouragement, or discernment) will benefit from the content. The examples and scriptural applications will give you a solid framework for your life and ministry, and the book also makes a great resource for a small group study.
The sixteen essays assembled in this volume, four of them co-authored, chart the successive phases of a professional life lived in the interstices of Bible and "theory." Engaging such texts as the Song of Songs, 4 Maccabees, Mark, Luke-Acts, John, and Romans, and such themes as the quest for the historical Jesus, the essays simultaneously traverse postmodernism, deconstruction, New Historicism, autobiographical criticism, cultural studies, postcolonial studies, masculinity studies, queer theory, and "posttheory." Individual essay introductions and periodic annotated bibliographies make the volume an advanced introduction to biblical literary criticism. --From publisher's description.
