An Unlikely Missionary Dispels the Myth That
Miracles Happen Only in Africa
Michele Perry may be an unlikely person to start a missionary
orphanage in war-torn Sudan. Born without her left hip and leg, she
is no stranger to overwhelming impossibility. She's learned from
childhood to rely fully on God, who constantly surprises her--and
she and her Sudanese children, more than one hundred of them, have
witnessed him moving in miraculous and wondrous ways again and
again.
Here she shares some of these amazing, inspiring stories. More than
that, she shows how readers can genuinely, fully experience God in
their everyday lives--whether in Africa or at home, wherever they
are. She helps them understand what he looks like, what it means to
hear his voice, what it's like to see a vision, and how to
recognize the holy in the ordinary. With these practical keys,
believers will be able to open the floodgates of life changing,
supernatural encounters with God.
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
Do your quiet times with God feel disconnected from the rest of your overflowing days? Shouldn't our devotions affect how we live our lives? In this 90-day devotional for women, plain Mennonite mother and wife Faith Sommers helps connect your moments with the Lord to the rest of your life. Steeped in the faith of Amish and Mennonites, who maintain that how we live is as important as what we say, Sommers' words hold gentle warmth and wise nudging for readers tired of disjointed living. Offering daily devotions, prayers, journal prompts, and ideas for how to simplify your life and strengthen your faith, Prayers for a Simpler Life guides readers toward a deeper commitment to the way of Jesus.

This title provides privileged insight into the spiritual heart of
iBandla lamaNazaretha, or the Nazareth Church (currently estimated
to have over a million members) and its visionary leader, Isaiah
Shembe, the founder (in 1910). Shembe was an extraordinary man of
immense spiritual power, who gained Messiah/like status among his
followers. Prefaced by a message from the present leader of the
main branch of the Church, Bishop Vimbeni Shembe, and including an
enlightening introduction by Liz Gunner, this three part title
makes available in English and in isiZulu source material,
transcribed and translated from the original longhand books of the
Church archives held at Ekuphakameni. It offers in Isaiah Shembe's
own voice some of the founding tenets of the Nazareth Church and
records the moving testimony of Meshack Hadebe, a 1920's believer,
who relates how his family travelled from 'the land of Mashoeshoe'
to Ekuphakameni, the holy place 'in the land of Natal'. Their
journey in search of 'the Prophet of Jehovah' is inspired by the
appearance of an extraordinary star, similar to that which led the
Three Wise Men on their holy pilgrimage. Also included is some of
the beautiful sacred poetry which forms part of the Church's
enduring hymnal. The man of heaven is a unique treasure trove in
many respects, that will appeal not just to Shembe followers but to
all who have an interest in the complexities of African
Christianity. It is invaluable for the intimate access it offers
into a fascinating spiritual tradition, and for the voice it gives
to a grassroots community immensely powerful but seldom encountered
in African literatures.
Avoiding sensationalism and date-speculating, respected Bible
teacher Amir Tsarfati uses his unique perspective as an Israeli
Christian to lead you through a fascinating modern-day description
of God's plan for the end of the world.
Grounded from start to
finish in Scripture, the book reveals how the Rapture, the imminent
rise of the Antichrist, and the tragic horrors of the Great
Tribulation will play out in our world today. He also helps you
understand the roles--and fates--of Russia, Iran, Syria, Turkey,
the European Union, the United States of America, and Israel in the
end times, showing just how biblical prophecies are being fulfilled
in our time.
But above all, he offers hope that in the midst of
chaos and horror, God is ultimately in control, and those who
belong to him will be safe with him.
A tale of survival and freedom, Stolen Innocence is the story of
one heroic woman who stood up for what was right and reclaimed her
life. In September 2007, a packed courtroom in St. George, Utah,
sat hushed as Elissa Wall, the star witness against polygamous sect
leader Warren Jeffs, gave captivating testimony of how Jeffs forced
her to marry her first cousin at the age of fourteen. This
harrowing and vivid account proved to be the most compelling
evidence against Jeffs, showing the harsh realities of the lengths
to which Jeffs went in order to control the sect's women. Now, in
this courageous memoir, Elissa Wall tells the incredible and
inspirational story of how she emerged from the confines of the
Fundamentalist Church of Latter Day Saints (FLDS) and helped bring
one of America's most notorious criminals to justice. Offering a
child's perspective on life in the FLDS, Wall discusses her
tumultuous youth, and explains how Warren Jeffs's influence over
the church twisted its already rigid beliefs in dangerous new
directions. Once she was married, Wall's childhood shattered as she
was obligated to follow Jeffs's directives and submit to her
husband in "mind, body, and soul." With little money and no
knowledge of the outside world, she was trapped and forced to
endure the pain and abuse of her loveless relationship, which
eventually pushed her to spend nights sleeping in her truck rather
than face the tormentor in her bed.
You are alive right now for a reason--your purpose predestined for
such a time as this. As the world slips deeper into darkness, most
Christians feel stuck, powerless to effect change. Yet changing the
world--your world--starts with you, right where you are, with a
heart full of fire for Jesus. Grounded in biblical teaching and
drawing from his own renewal experiences, pastor and revivalist
Glen Berteau emboldens you to get fed up with the ineffectual
status quo, showing you how to * ignite the supernatural power God
has placed in you * be filled up with the Holy Spirit * get fired
up for what God can do through you * see beyond your current
circumstance * and live a faith without limits You're a Kingdom
weapon, energized by God's mighty power and forged to stand strong
for what you believe, tear down strongholds, eradicate hatred and
bring dead things to life. You are chosen to change the world.
"Jesus calls passionate followers. My dear friend Glen Berteau
provides a necessary spark for those growing indifferent toward
their faith and needing revival."--JOHN BEVERE, bestselling author
and minister; cofounder, Messenger International
