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
This volume approaches the Word of Faith as a worldview, and
analyses the movement through N. T. Wright's model for
worldview-analysis in order to provide necessary nuance and
complexity to scholarly interpretations of the Word of Faith. The
reader receives insights into the movement's narrative, semiotic,
practical and propositional dimensions, which cumulatively offer a
multifaceted understanding of how the Word of Faith interprets
reality and engages with the world. The analysis shows that there
is a narrative core to Word of Faith beliefs in the form of a
unique theological story with focus set on the present restoration
of Eden's authority and blessings. This study demonstrates how the
Word of Faith operates as a distinct worldview that parses the
world through the lens of faith's causative power to affect a
direct correspondence between present reality and Eden's
perfection. The findings advance a critical and therapeutic
approach that acknowledges how the worldview both strengthens and
subverts Pentecostalism.
