Are you living up to your supernatural potential?Many Christians live their lives in a spiritual desert, never witnessing the incredible things that Jesus promised. This is because they are unaware of their kingdom inheritance and the supernatural access that His death has provided!Adrian Beale, co-author of the international bestseller, The...
In recent years the entire world has experienced a pandemic that has in many ways radically changed our day to day lives. In a positive sense, the pandemic has created an opportunity for everyone to evaluate the way we have been living. Perhaps this will lead many to make decisions that can make our daily lives more biblical. As a member of the worldwide Christian community, I have taken time to quiet myself and pray with a positive emphasis concerning the recent changes that have taken place in both the secular and Christian worlds. This has led me to write this book concerning the Holy Communion and what I find to be in the Scripture that is right there, “hidden in plain sight” concerning it. During the biblical creation period, it is evident that eating and drinking were necessary for life to be sustained. The original problem which caused the entire creation to be negatively affected was a dietary one. God’s children ate from a forbidden tree. We could say that they ingested poison that has affected all of us. That is so serious. We often call it “the fall.” I believe that as you read through this book, you will find that the Holy Communion is a major part of the antidote provided in the salvation experience found in Christ. This New Testament covenant meal has the power to enable us to be “more than conquerors” in this here and now life. Although historically controversial then as they still are now, the words of our Lord Jesus Christ ring true. Let is not reject or reduce them. Let us receive them and enjoy the blessings of His provision. To God be the glory! "I am the bread of life. Most assuredly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in you. He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me, and I in him.” John 6.48, 53, 56

Walking in Kingdom Grace is a thoroughly biblical exploration of the term the kingdom of God. Tracing the concept of the kingdom of God from pre-creation to the future eternal state, you will clearly understand Gods intention for humankind as never before. You will discover such things as: What is the kingdom of God? How does it relate to your eternal purpose in God? How does it relate to the New Covenant? How does it relate to the church? Exactly how does Christ build His church? If Jesus was God, why did He need to be anointed by the Holy Spirit? What does the anointing upon Jesus have to do with believers today? These and many more questions are answered from the Scripture. Complex questions are unraveled and explained in an illuminating way, which will provide many Aha! moments as complicated subjects become crystal clear. One reader commented, Pull up a comfortable chair, clear your schedule, and turn your cell phone off because you are not going to want to put this book down once you get started! Len Harper, Pastor
Even for the religious, life is full of questions: What is faith? Can my life be more satisfying? How can I deepen my walk with Christ? What does it mean to be happy? These bubble and boil underneath the surface of our everyday life. And though we ignore them, we know they point us to realms of wisdom or even mystery-to something more. Author Mark Buchanan asked these same questions. "I want more, God," he prayed-and the answer was more than he was looking for. It was right there, hidden in plain sight among the syllables and syntax of a few words of advice from the apostle Peter. With time and experience, Buchanan learned to tease it out, this secret of more, and he wrote a book about it: Hidden in Plain Sight. The answer, he discovered, is an investigation of the cross. The answer is an excavation of the virtues. The answer urges us passionately to "make every effort." And, Buchanan tells us, the answer is worth it.
A fresh look at an old subject. The author addresses the study of the book of Revelation and Eschatology with an emphasis on the Kingdom. Notably, the results are conclusively Preterist in content by the eyes of the author, of the mildest of forms. Coming from several years of end-times research, and many more of that of Bible knowledge, this book focuses on the prophesies of Daniel, as well as the Gospels, to prove with reasonable certainty (to the author) that the reasonable whole of the book of Daniel is concluded and fulfilled, and much of the Revelation of John. The book follows in an "at-face-value" approach, allowing normal customs of language, demonstrating a concise and historic progression of events, with the destruction of the temple on 70 AD, the Second Jewish Revolt of 135 AD being the winepress of God's wrath, the seven bowls of wrath poured out upon Rome in what is known as the Crisis of the Third Century to destroy Rome, and a literal, already-fulfilled Millennium in the Middle Ages. The focus of the book is doctrine of the Kingdom, which demonstrates its centrality in the entire subject. It is the asserted that the study of Eschatology is the study of the Kingdom (this is repeated throughout the book). Including a look at the parables of Jesus, and taking Jesus' introductory declaration of Mark 1:15 to be clearest statement of the Kingdom, this book side-steps the fruitless debates of the Schweitzer, Dodd, and Ladd, of "consistent", "realized", or "inaugurated" Eschatologies, and steps directly to an "everlasting eschatology". Thy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and thy dominion endureth throughout all generations. Ps 145:13 Generally relying upon the KJV version for the development of key issues, except where a nuance is better brought out by another version as indicated, the author develops the case, 'sola scriptura', that the Kingdom is indeed here, and that it relates to the first coming of Christ. Of note, the author specifically interprets the Olivet Discourse as being divided, based upon the merits of a study of the word "Eutheos" in Matthew 24:29. "Eutheos", when compared throughout the New Testament, often implies an unspecified time gap, representing hours, days, or even months. This, combined with a reading of the traditional "time texts", Matthew 24:34&36, the author sees that the v36 "but of that day and hour" specifically excludes the v29-31 "that day" from the "these things" of v4-22. As such, the "this generation" applies precisely and exactly to the generation then alive during the giving of this discussion, as per the traditional partial-Preterist position. However, it clearly excludes the obvious Second Coming references in vv29-31. Additionally, the author makes specific reference to the verses of Daniel 11:40-43 as pertaining to the Battle of Actium in 31 BC, or the foundation of the Roman Empire, which is shown to be the fourth Kingdom of Daniel 2,7. These two facts place the Great Tribulation of Daniel 12 and Matthew 24 decidedly in the first century, the 70AD destruction of Jerusalem, according to the author. The author then divides the body of Revelation into two prophecies, as per the two prophetic commissions in Revelation 1 and 10. Using a 68-70AD, post-Neronic, pre-fall of Jerusalem date for the book, Rev 6-11 corresponds to the destruction of Jerusalem, while Rev 12-19 are clearly seen in historic events and detail the further punishing of the Jewish nation, followed by the final overthrow of the beast, Rome. Woven throughout the book, the author attempts to depict the great contrast of ages. For 1,000 years, Babylon, in four different stages, ruled the known world. Then, after it was broken small at the conversion of Constantine, the Kingdom of God ruled for its 1,000 years. We are now in that "short time", looking towards a Gog Magog conflict, and the fulfillment of the Israel promises in between Revelation 20:10-11.
The Revelation to John has been with us for about 2000 years and has been the subject of diverse attempts at interpretation. The Revelation as given is a vision of the end time work of the Son of Man and the sole purpose is to prepare humanity for that mission and offer them the chance to recognise the last Envoy of God when He does come. It is only with this understanding in view that the Revelation can be appreciated. All the promised messages for the end-time are now available to us and I believe we are in a better position to understand the message of The Revelation. Indeed, I believe that we urgently need to understand its message. The urge and pressure amongst all striving human spirits to unravel the mysteries of The Revelation represents this need. This study is not a substitute for The Revelation, but may be regarded as a call for a deeper study and hopefully an awakening to the need to experience the times in a more alert manner. The work is offered in the recognition that the Revelation is being fulfilled in this epoch and as such is a must read for all striving human spirits
Some 2000 years ago a man walked the earth who had a greater impact than any other person in history. Lowly born, he rose to prominence as he spread his vision of redemption of the world. He attracted the attention of both faithful disciples and suspicious local authorities. At the young age of 33 Jesus was tried, convicted, and executed. Today his story is known all over the world. And yet, more than two millennia later people still struggle to understand his Passion. These are some of his teachings. This book is an introduction to the Christian life that will guide you to a closer walk with Jesus. Sometimes you will find it controversial, and sometimes you will find it warm and "touchy-feely." Hopefully it will encourage a new desire for the Sermon on the Mount, and the other teachings of Jesus in the Gospels. If it touches your heart and gets you thinking it will have achieved its purpose.
