In A Divine Revelation of Angels, Mary Baxter describes dreams, visions, and revelations of angels that God has given her. Explore the fascinating dynamics of angelic beings, including their appearance, their assigned functions and roles, and how they operate, not only in the heavenly realms, but also in our lives here on earth. Discover the difference between good angels and bad angels (demons) and their activities so you can distinguish angels of light from angels of darkness. Learn how God’s holy angels are magnificent beings who are His messengers and warriors sent to assist, sustain, protect, and deliver us through the power of Christ.
Many people wonder why they can’t overcome sins and temptations, and why they experience recurring problems in their health, finances, and relationships. A Divine Revelation of Deliverance exposes these schemes of Satan. Through the Scriptures, visions of warfare, and personal encounters with evil spiritual forces, Mary K. Baxter has discovered powerful truths to help you overcome your fear of the enemy, recognize and conquer satanic traps, experience victory over sins and failures, be free from unexplained attacks, and intercede for the deliverance of others. This is a war that must be fought with the supernatural power and weapons of God.
Mennonite German Soldiers traces the efforts of a small, pacifist,
Christian religious minority in eastern Prussia-the Mennonite
communities of the Vistula River basin-to preserve their exemption
from military service, which was based on their religious
confession of faith. Conscription was mandatory for nearly all male
Prussian citizens, and the willingness to fight and die for country
was essential to the ideals of a developing German national
identity. In this engaging historical narrative, Mark Jantzen
describes the policies of the Prussian federal and regional
governments toward the Mennonites over a hundred-year period and
the legal, economic, and social pressures brought to bear on the
Mennonites to conform. Mennonite leaders defended the exemptions of
their communities' sons through a long history of petitions and
legal pleas, and sought alternative ways, such as charitable
donations, to support the state and prove their loyalty. Faced with
increasingly punitive legal and financial restrictions, as well as
widespread social disapproval, many Mennonites ultimately
emigrated, and many others chose to join the German nation at the
cost of their religious tradition. Jantzen tells the history of the
Mennonite experience in Prussian territories against the backdrop
of larger themes of Prussian state-building and the growth of
German nationalism. The Mennonites, who lived on the margins of
German society, were also active agents in the long struggle of the
state to integrate them. The public debates over their place in
Prussian society shed light on a multi-confessional German past and
on the dissemination of nationalist values.
