Surprisingly Supernatural: A Practical Guide to Releasing the
Gifts of the Spirit teaches believers to receive the gifts of the
Spirit, and then how to release the spiritual gifts of prophecy,
healings and miracles, discernment, and binding or driving out
demons. Then the believers are encouraged to bring in the harvest.
When believers learn how to release the gifts of the Spirit that is
what the Bride of Christ is to do at the end of the age, and then
she will enter into the wedding banquet (see Matt. 24:14;
25:9-10).
You Will Learn -That you are supposed to ask for the Holy
Spirit, and ask for the gifts of the Spirit, and being continually
filled by the Spirit was what the first disciples experienced, and
they were the first ones called "Christians." -That if you will
learn the conditions required for you to hear God's voice, then you
will be able to prophecy. -That if you will learn the keys to
healing, then you will begin to see the sick healed when you lay
your hands on them. -That when you ask for the gift of discernment,
then you will begin to discern demons and the defilement that is
around you. Then you can cast out those demons. -That leylines are
spiritual highways that demons travel on over the earth, and you
will learn how to clean them off. -That when you release the gifts
of the Spirit, you will easily be able to show nonbelievers that
Jesus Christ is the Son of God and is the Savior of the World.
-That the Bride of Christ is to be continually filled by the Spirit
until she is clothed in the armor of light and clothed in Jesus
Christ, then she will bring glory to the Lord (see Rom. 13:12,
14).
The Pentecostal movement has had an incredible impact on the shape
of worldwide Christianity in the past century. Estimates are that
Pentecostals and charismatics make up approximately one-fourth of
Christians worldwide, and the numbers are only expected to grow.
With these developments comes the need for thoughtful Christians of
all persuasions to better understand Pentecostal theology. In fact,
Amos Yong believes that Pentecostal theology can be a great gift to
the church at large.
Yong presents a thoroughly Pentecostal theology of salvation, the
church, the nature of God, and creation. He also provides a
fascinating survey of the state of worldwide Pentecostalism,
examining how Pentecostal theology is influencing Christian
churches in other countries.
Samuel Rees Howells, A Life of Intercession: The Legacy of Prayer
and Spiritual Warfare of an Intercessor by Richard A. Maton, Paul
Backholer and Mathew Backholer. Hardback and paperback edtions have
39 black and white photos interspersed throughout the book.
Rees Howells, a powerful intercessor, taught his son Samuel the
principles of intercession and commissioned him some weeks before
his death, stating, "Whatever you do, stand and maintain these
intercessions." For the next fifty-four years, Samuel Rees Howells
exercised a powerful intercessory ministry as he focused prayer on
gospel liberty, in order for the good news of the Gospel of Jesus
Christ to be given to every creature.
With the mantle of intercession weighing heavily upon him, Samuel
spent decades participating with others in their own countries, in
profound spiritual struggles that shook world events and shaped
history for God's glory Discover how Samuel was led by the Holy
Spirit to exercise authority over the principalities and powers,
and to 'pray through' until God's purposes were fulfilled in many
lethal world conflicts. Learn how God still intervenes in world
history, from the Korean War to the Cuban Missile Crisis, and from
the Six-Day War to the fall of the Soviet Union
Beginning in the days of Rees Howells, this book continues this
powerful story of intercession and traces its effectual legacy into
the twenty-first century. Filled with principles of intercession,
faith and spiritual warfare, this book provides a fascinating
insight into what is possible when the Holy Spirit finds an
individual, who will stand in the gap and become a channel for His
intercession. Ezekiel 22:30, Romans 8:26-27, Ephesians 6:12.
Richard A. Maton worked under Samuel's ministry for forty-seven
years and provides us with an eyewitness account of Samuel's life
of intercession. Richard is married to Kristine who joined Rees
Howells' Bible College in 1936 and prayed alongside him. Together
Richard and Kristine spent more than 120 years at the College

The Assemblies of God (AG) is the ninth largest American and the
world's largest Pentecostal denomination, with over 50 million
followers worldwide. The AG embraces a worldview of miracles and
mystery that makes"supernatural" experiences, such as speaking in
tongues, healing, and prophecy, normal for Christian believers.
Ever since it first organized in 1916, however, the "charismata" or
"gifts of the Holy Spirit" have felt tension from institutional
forces. Over the decades, vital charismatic experiences have been
increasingly tamed by rituals, doctrine, and denominational
structure. Yet the path towards institutionalization has not been
clear-cut. New revivals and direct personal experience of God-the
hallmarks of Pentecostalism-continue as an important part of the AG
tradition, particularly in the growing number of ethnic
congregations in the United States. The Assemblies of God draws on
fresh, up-to-date research including quantitative surveys and
interviews from twenty-two diverse Assemblies of God congregations
to offer a new sociological portrait of the AG for the new
millennium. The authors suggest that there is indeed a potential
revitalization of the movement in the works within the context of
the larger global Pentecostal upswing, and that this revitalization
may be spurred by what the authors call "godly love:" the dynamic
interaction between divine and human love that enlivens and expands
benevolence. The volume provides a wealth of data about how the
second-largest American Pentecostal denomination sees itself today,
and suggests trends to illuminate where it is headed in the future.
This book will stir you to fan the flames of revival in your own heart so you can partner with the Holy Spirit and fellow believers to see a sweeping move of God transform America and the world.
Are we living in the last days? Is it possible that God is getting ready to pour out His Spirit on the earth one last time before Jesus returns?
