This book will answer all of your questions about the anointing. It will prepare you to experience the precious touch of God on everything you do.
How can some ministers whose personal and spiritual lives are dried up and in shambles still operate in the anointing and continue to minister with power? Pastor Benny Hinn asked this question during a season of personal trial, and his quest led him to an in-depth understanding of the three “rivers,” or types, of anointing in Scripture: 1 John 2:27 (the anointing within you); Acts 1:8 (the anointing upon you); and Isaiah 10 (a global anointing related to building up and destroying nations).
In Mysteries of the Anointing, Hinn explores these three types of anointing, sharing personal stories of things he learned firsthand from Kathryn Kuhlman and Oral Roberts, as well as providing biblical and historical examples that illustrate his teachings.
Readers will discover:
- How to detect if the anointing within you is weakening or gone
- The blessings—and dangers—that can happen when God begins to use you
- When you’re most vulnerable to demonic attack and what to do about it
- What hinders the anointing in your life and ministry and what increases it
- The impact of the anointing around the world and how the church will experience it in greater measure

Moving Forward When You're Skeptical of Others, Afraid of what God will
Allow, and Doubtful of your Own Discernment
Trust is the oxygen of all human relationships. But it's also what
trips you up after you've been burned. Maybe a friend constantly lets
you down. A leader or organization you respect turns out to be
different than they portray themselves to be. A spouse cheats on you. A
family member betrays you. You're exhausted by other people's choices
and starting to question your own discernment. And you're wondering, If
God let this happen, can he even be trusted?
How can you live well and step into the future when you keep stumbling
over trust issues? Lysa TerKeurst says it's not simply about finding
better people to walk with. It's about developing the stability you
long for within yourself and with God, so you don't become cynical and
carry a broken belief system into every new relationship.
In I Want to Trust You, But I Don't, Lysa shows you how to:
• Identify which of the eleven relational red flags are stirring up
distrust, so you can pinpoint why you're feeling uneasy
• Stop having more faith in your fears coming true than God coming
through for you by asking crucial "what if" questions to better process
your doubts
• Recognize when a fractured relationship can be repaired by
considering a reasonable list of characteristics necessary for
rebuilding trust
• Understand the physical, emotional, and neurological impact of the
betrayals you've experienced and start healing from the inside out
In a world where so many things feel alarming, this book will give you
a peace that isn't dependent on unpredictable people, circumstances,
and experiences. Instead, it offers practical and biblical ways to make
real progress toward healthier perspectives, relationships, and a
future you can authentically look forward to.
Katherine Willis Pershey has never slept with the mailman or kissed an ex-boyfriend. Good thing, since she’s married. But simply not committing adultery does not give you the keys to “happily ever after,” as Pershey has come to find out in her own marriage and in her work as a pastor. What is this sacred covenant that binds one person to another, and what elements of faith and fidelity sustain it? In Very Married: Field Notes on Love and Fidelity, Pershey opens the book on all things marital. With equal parts humor and intelligence, Pershey speaks frankly about the challenges and consolations of modern marriage. As she shares her own tales of bliss and blunder, temptation and deliverance, Pershey invites readers to commit once again to the joyful and difficult work of cherishing another person. For better or worse. For life.
Featuring a beautifully crafted press-grain paperback cover, thick
book paper, and an introduction to the gospel by Dane Ortlund, the
ESV Gospel of John, Share the Good News Edition offers an engaging
reading experience of this beloved New Testament book.
This book is an illuminating guide on critical, sensitive and
salvation-based topics that will intrigue, educate, inspire and
above all promote the doctrine of salvation as the focal point of
the entire Bible. The book highlights the fact that humanity's
greatest need has never been the food that satiates his hunger, the
building that gives him shelter, the status that makes him relevant
or anything that caters to his physical needs, albeit it consists
of topics that discuss humanity's daily needs and how they can be
acquired in line with God's word. It adequately emphasises that the
salvation of souls constitutes the greatest need and should occupy
the top echelon of our priorities. The scripture says that faith
comes by hearing and hearing the word of God (Romans 10:17). But
what happens when the word is not correctly taught, or correctly
taught but not completely broken down and hence not properly
understood? This book breaks down biblical lessons in a manner that
will be easily understood by readers. Many have read the Bible and
taught from it wrongly because they missed the central theme of the
Bible which is the salvation of our souls but the words in this
book have been written to help the reader avoid reading the Bible
amiss and achieve this precious and priceless gift - salvation -
that will make existence in this world a meaningful one. The
lessons readers will learn are drawn from the context of the
scriptures, the express commands of God and from the lives and
experiences of several biblical characters. Readers are made to
examine some biblical characters' strengths and flaws, successes
and failures and extract valuable lessons that will guide them on
the journey through life. While people can scan through the Bible
and get a general understanding of the stories within these
chapters, this book will draw the readers' attention to vital
lessons they may not have noticed.
Celebrating Sundays provides readings from the Christian tradition
that offer commentary on every Sunday Gospel reading in the three
year lectionary. In the middle of the sixth century, St Benedict
wrote 'Let the inspired books of both the Old and the New
Testaments be read at Vigils, as also commentaries on them by the
most eminent orthodox and catholic fathers' (Rule of Benedict, IX)
and this set the pattern for worship and preaching which prevails
today. All the great patristic names are included here: Augustine,
Bede, Ambrose, Gregory the Great, Aelred, John Scotus Erigena,
Origen, Cyril of Alexandria and dozens besides. An invaluable
companion for preachers and for personal reflection on the Sunday
lections, this makes an ideal gift for confirmation, ordination and
anniversaries of priesthood.
First published in 1937, Letters by a Modern Mystic is a
compilation of excerpts from letters Christian missionary Frank C.
Laubach wrote to his father. Within them, Laubach shares his
findings of the greatest experiment of his life: attempting to live
in moment-by-moment communication with God. Short, simple and
extraordinarily powerful, this little book offers a profoundly
challenging but life-changing way of living. Laubach's letters are
thoughtful and honest, documenting his failings and struggles with
this spiritual discipline - but also showing the joy, wonder and
transformation he experienced by connecting with God and living in
communion with him every minute of the day. Easy to read and full
of wisdom, Letters by a Modern Mystic is essential reading for
anyone seeking to deepen their connection with God or wanting to
make their spiritual formation part of their everyday life. With a
foreword by Pete Grieg show its continued relevance for today, it
will challenge you to see that it is possible to live in communion
with God in every moment and change the way you approach your
faith. Included at the back of this book is 'The Game with
Minutes', the practical guide Laubach developed to assist others in
applying the principles and spiritual practices in his letters. It
is a game that has transformed countless lives - and it is time for
a new generation to play.
