You are no accident. Your presence on this earth is not a mistake.
Neither is it insignificant. On the contrary, you are wanted here—and
needed!
You are a creation of God with a unique purpose. Many people “do”
things to try to gain acceptance by others, so that they can “be”
someone. They become slaves to public opinion and never really know who
they were meant to be.
When we know that we are God’s beloved children, chosen from the
foundation of the world, and discover who He designed us to be, we will
think and act from that perspective. Everything else will develop from
our identity and existence in Him. That identity goes beyond even our
personal purpose to God’s eternal plans for the world and our exciting
role in them.
God created all human beings to have dominion over the earth. And He
has assigned each of us a portion of “territory” where we can exercise
the measure of our dominion on earth. This dominion is based on the
faith, anointing, and gifts He has given us. Our words and actions are
most effective when we are in the territory God has assigned to us and
are seeking first His kingdom. This “territorial” power is not merely
symbolic. It is a reality in which we must live. The territory in which
we are to be fruitful is not random or general but specific.
In Created for Purpose, you will discover God’s plan for your life as a
loved and valuable member of His creation, what it means to be called
by God, and how to know and live in your purpose throughout your life.
You are not an accident. You are present on this earth for a
significant reason. Find out who you were meant to be!

Two powerful and interrelated transnational cultural expressions
mark our epoch. They are Charismatic spirituality and the global
city. This book offers a fresh and challenging articulation of the
character of the charismatic renewal of Christianity in the
framework of global cities, the socio-economic situation of poor
urban residents, and urban space, resulting in a vision for the
future city as a religious, ethical, and political space. The book
studies the social, economic, and ethical implications of the
charismatic renewal on urban living and urban design aimed at
promoting human flourishing. From multidisciplinary perspectives
Nimi Wariboko investiages the nature and impact of interreligious
dialogues and encounters between charismatic Christianity and other
religions in global cities.
This critique provides a framework for understanding and interpreting the widespread but little-known New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) movement.
As the authors state in the preface: "We write this book with two major goals in mind. First, to give people an idea of the sheer size and reach of the NAR movement. And second, to systematize its key teachings and practices and evaluate them on the basis of Scripture and careful reasoning . . In our judgment, the NAR perspective crosses these boundaries [that is, certain broad parameters, revealed in Scripture and practiced in the historical orthodox church], and it does so in part because of flawed theology rooted in a flawed understanding of Scripture. We wish to warn readers about a possible confusion: Some critics have linked the NAR movement with mainstream Pentecostalism and charismatics. We do not do this. In fact, it is our contention that the NAR movement deviates from classical Pentecostal and charismatic teachings. This movement has emerged out of independent charismatic churches and, thus, has gained a foothold in many of those churches in varying degrees."
There is much talk and teaching about generational curses and how they can be spiritually transmitted through the family bloodline. But what about generational blessings? The same Scriptures that speak of curses that need to be revoked also point to multi-generational blessings that can transform our lives today and impact our children and grandchildren. What you do today in the Courts of Heaven can release generational blessings for you and your family!
Robert Henderson is a recognized apostolic leader in the church and the bestselling author of the Courts of Heaven series. He has given his life to helping individuals, churches, and nations break legal agreements with the enemy by operating in the Courts of Heaven to step into the breakthroughs that Scripture promises. But now, writing alongside his son, Adam, a powerful new revelation is being released. It was his experience praying for breakthrough over Adam that taught Robert Henderson about both breaking curses and releasing generational blessings from the Courts of Heaven.
You will learn how to:
- Experience family freedom by bringing your loved ones before Heaven's Courts and interceding for verdicts of blessing, freedom, and salvation
- Pray according to what's written in the books of Heaven for you and your family
- Approach the Courts of Heaven for generational blessing using a 5-Step Prayer Model observed in the life of David
- Retrieve lost and stolen wealth from past generations
- See prodigals reclaimed and restored to God as you pray Courtroom prayers on their behalf
It's one thing to cancel the enemy’s assignment for our life by dealing with bloodline issues and curses; it’s another dimension to proactively and powerfully enter the Courts of Heaven, partner with the purposes of God, and secure blessing today and in generations to come.
Pilgrimage into Pentecost explores the life and legacy of Howard M.
Ervin, Th.D., chronicling Ervin's pilgrimage from his beginnings as
Baptist pastor to his global influence as a Pentecostal leader. His
exegetical theology led him to advocate a distinctively Lukan
theology of the Holy Spirit, and he became for a while the leading
scholarly apologist for the classical Pentecostal doctrine of
Spirit baptism. Ervin's scholarship spurred fruitful theological
debate on the contemporary work of the Holy Spirit, especially with
New Testament scholar James D.G. Dunn, while his extensive
ecumenical pastoral ministry demonstrated the Spirit's work of
unifying the body of Christ. Pilgrimage into Pentecost not only
pays well-deserved tribute to a pioneer of Pentecostal scholarship
but also offers his devout scholarship and distinguished forty-year
teaching career at Oral Roberts University (ORU) as an example for
others.
A contribution to the field of theological aesthetics, this book
explores the arts in and around the Pentecostal and charismatic
renewal movements. It proposes a pneumatological model for
creativity and the arts, and discusses different art forms from the
perspective of that model. Pentecostals and other charismatic
Christians have not sufficiently worked out matters of aesthetics,
or teased out the great religious possibilities of engaging with
the arts. With the flourishing of Pentecostal culture comes the
potential for an equally flourishing artistic life. As this book
demonstrates, renewal movements have participated in the arts but
have not systematized their findings in ways that express their
theological commitments-until now. The book examines how to
approach art in ways that are communal, dialogical, and
theologically cultivating.
The growth of Christianity in the global South is one of the most
important religious stories of the last decade. In no branch of
Christianity has that growth been more rapid than Pentecostalism.
There are over 100 million Pentecostals in Africa, and Pentecostal
practices infuse Catholic, Anglican, and Independent churches. In
the traditional Catholic stronghold of Latin America,
Pentecostalism now vies with Catholicism for the soul of the
continent. And the largest Pentecostsal church in the world, with
over 800,000 members, is in Seoul. In To the Ends of the Earth,
Allan Anderson offers a historical and theological examination of
the growth of global Pentecostalism. Examining such issues as
revivalism, healing, gender, worship, and globalization, Anderson
seeks to show how the growth of global Pentecostalism is changing
the face of Christianity as a whole.
