Remember that it is not a prayer, because Jesus never prayed for
the sick. It is a command, so firmly get it fixed in your mind to
say, In the name of Jesus, we command....And then speak to the part
of the body that needs healing. When Jesus healed the sick man at
the pool of Bethesda, He said, Rise, take up your bed and walk
(John 5:8). In Matthew 12:13, Jesus commanded the man with the
withered hand, Stretch out your hand, and when the man did, his
hand was restored as whole as the other. Jesus disciples followed
His example of making healing commands, as recorded in Acts 3:6 in
the healing of the lame man: Then Peter said, Silver and gold I do
not have, but what I do have I give to you: In the name of Jesus
Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk.' Verse 7 proclaims, And he
took him by the right hand and lifted him up, and immediately his
feet and ankle bones received strength. The Scriptures go on to
report that the healed man began walking and leaping, and praising
God! Notice also that when the people put their FAITH INTO ACTION
whether by stretching out their hand, or taking up their bed and
walking, or rising up and walking they were healed!"
The purpose of this Book is to present some important principles of
healing which may help you as you step out in faith and begin
laying hands on the sick. The information in this Book might be
different than what you have always been taught, but consider
keeping an open mind in case God wants to reveal something new to
you. Check these things against the Bible; don't just believe what
I say or what other people have said!
Mission in the world of work has been neglected by the churches
within the UK for decades. The Kingdom at Work Project addresses
this crippling failure. It sets out a new and comprehensive model
of mission for the transformation of the workplace. The model is
founded on a radical theology of community and related spirituality
which guide and empower an innovative process of discernment and
intervention. The last covers individual and collective action,
dialogue, the use of symbols, prayer and worship. Mentoring, the
role of chaplains and ministers in secular employment, and the
responsibilities of the gathered church are key issues covered in
depth. This book is the most thorough and imaginative exploration
of mission in the world of work to appear for many years.
Sister Katey's letters reveal, vividly, life in a little-known part
of Brazil. The reader is struck by the caring attitude and generous
spirit of those who have very little to spare and share. It is a
compassionate but unsentimental account in which practical and
spiritual help go hand in hand with the help of trained lay leaders
- perhaps a pattern for the Church in other parts of our world.
Packed with great stories and life-changing ideas, Free challenges
teens to connect with the radical love God has for them. This
forty-day devotional helps young people understand the power of
real-life Christianity and how Jesus gives them everything they
need to overcome temptation and live for Him.
Highlights the essential dimensions of her spiritual message and
her path of faithful discipleship.
Prolific author Justo Gonzalez takes us deeper into the idea that
the Acts of the Apostles is really the Acts of the Holy Spirit. He
inserts the text into its social context, discussing each verse in
terms of its social, spiritual, and theological implications. This
is a commentary ideally suited both to illuminating the book of
Acts and to attuning readers to the on-going acts of the Spirit in
our own time.
Classic reflections on gospel wisdom from a modern martyr show the
ongoing relevance of the gospel in an age of idolatrous power and
capricious violence.
When a Rabbi is murdered, his work--decoding hidden text within the
Torah known to reveal future events--is discovered and sets the
foundation for the endtimes. Ancient codes hidden within the Torah
reveals the secrets of global events, past (i.e. Hitler, the
Kennedy assassination, the Gulf War), present, and future. One man
is after the Code, seeking the power to change the world as we know
it...for the worse. Another seeks the truth, risking his life and
everything he stands for in order to stop him. In this spiritual
thriller, an ancient prophecy is about to be fulfilled as a secret
code brings the world to the edge of Apocalypse.
First published in 1998, The Divine Conspiracy captured the
attention of Christians across the world, by offering a timely and
challenging call back to the true meaning of Christian
discipleship. Gracefully weaving biblical teaching, popular
culture, science and scholarship together, Dallas Willard refuted
the view that Christianity is solely about gaining admittance to
heaven when we die, and taught that, as disciples, we have access
now to the life of the kingdom. Equally relevant today as it was on
publication, The Divine Conspiracy challenges us to step aside from
the pieties of contemporary Christian practice and offers instead a
practical plan by which we can become Christ-like. Truly, it has
earned its reputation as a modern Christian classic.
Imagine a world where we are all given the opportunity to fulfill
our purposes, finding the very reason why we were created whilst
living to benefit others. A world in which the systems are no
longer clouded with deceit; filled with corruption, destruction and
evils of ever-increasing magnitudes. We could confidently check out
of earth one day knowing we had left it better than we found it.
But how when trial and error is the only way and the lives of the
generations to come depend on a change now? The Takeover is a
worldwide campaign with a sole purpose of doing just that;
empowering readers to pursue change with the aim of creating the
world we all dare to dream about- a world where we can finally
experience heaven on earth. We are placed on the earth with an
empty canvas with no direction as to what would be our perfect
picture; this book provides the blueprint and strategy, enabling
readers to play a vital role in global good. No matter the scale of
our occupation or dream, we would be noted in the world's hall of
fame for deciding to give mankind the gift that the Lord innately
placed inside of us. Your community needs you. Your country needs
you. And the world needs you!

"With humorous prose and wry wit, Kenny makes a convincing case for
all Christians to do more to meet access needs and embrace
disabilities as part of God's kingdom. . . . Inclusivity-minded
Christians will cheer the lessons laid out here."--Publishers
Weekly "A book the church desperately needs."--Elisa Rowe,
Sojourners Much of the church has forgotten that we worship a
disabled God whose wounds survived resurrection, says Amy Kenny. It
is time for the church to start treating disabled people as full
members of the body of Christ who have much more to offer than a
miraculous cure narrative and to learn from their embodied
experiences. Written by a disabled Christian, this book shows that
the church is missing out on the prophetic witness and blessing of
disability. Kenny reflects on her experiences inside the church to
expose unintentional ableism and cast a new vision for Christian
communities to engage disability justice. She shows that until we
cultivate church spaces where people with disabilities can fully
belong, flourish, and lead, we are not valuing the diverse members
of the body of Christ. Offering a unique blend of personal
storytelling, fresh and compelling writing, biblical exegesis, and
practical application, this book invites readers to participate in
disability justice and create a more inclusive community in church
and parachurch spaces. Engaging content such as reflection
questions and top-ten lists are included.

The seven works of Augustine that are contained in this volume all
deal with the problem of faith in God. They were written over the
course of three decades, beginning with True Religion (390) and
extending to the Enchiridion on Faith, Hope, and Charity (c. 421).
Hence this selection of writings provides an impressive insight
into the intellectual and spiritual development of one of the
greatest of all Western minds, as it grappled with a question that
has never ceased to preoccupy and stimulate Western thought: Is it
reasonable to believe in God, and what form might such belief take?
Each of these seven works is a new translation into contemporary
English, and each is introduced by the German Augustinian scholar
Michael Fiedrowicz, who has also written a valuable general
introduction.
In this book Michael P. Hornsby-Smith aims to encourage a
commitment to the pursuit of social justice on the part of young
people of Generation Y, i.e. six-formers, students, and young
people generally. It has been written as a series of letters to my
grandchildren with the intention of encouraging them and others of
their generation to follow Jesus as faithful pilgrims,
conscientious servants, and challenging prophets. It follows the
well-known pastoral strategy with two chapters each on (a)
articulating the social reality both domestically and globally, (b)
subjecting it to social analysis as to causes of needs and
injustices, then to (c) scriptural and theological analysis, and
finally (d) offering suggestions for responding with social action.
