This book argues that Christians have a stake in the sustainability and success of core cultural values of the West in general and America in particular. Steven M. Studebaker considers Western and American decline from a theological and, specifically, Pentecostal perspective. The volume proposes and develops a Pentecostal political theology that can be used to address and reframe Christian political identity in the United States. Studebaker asserts that American Christians are currently not properly engaged in preventing America's decline or halting the shifts in its core values. The problem, he suggests, is that American Christianity not only gives little thought to the state of the nation beyond a handful of moral issues like abortion, but its popular political theologies lead Christians to think of themselves more as aliens than as citizens. This book posits that the proposed Pentecostal political theology would help American Christians view themselves as citizens and better recognize their stake in the renewal of their nation. The foundation of this proposed political theology is a pneumatological narrative of renewal-a biblical narrative of the Spirit that begins with creation, proceeds through Incarnation and Pentecost, and culminates in the new creation and everlasting kingdom of God. This narrative provides the foundation for a political theology that speaks to the issues of Christian political identity and encourages Christian political participation.

What do you say to someone who is hurting? How many times in everyday conversation do we struggle to comfort others in a troubled world? Christians should be "first responders," say Andy Reese and Jennifer Barnett, yet we lack the tools and confidence to reach out. We end up frustrated by our own inability to connect meaningfully and make a difference. But what would happen if we had the ability and courage to speak out in love? In these pages Andy and Jennifer give you the practical understanding and simple tools to do just that. You can fill even your casual conversations with the gentle yet transforming power of Jesus Christ.

This revelation was part of a prophecy given in 1936

by legendary evangelist and healing minister Smith

Wigglesworth to a young man named David du Plessis.

The revival Wigglesworth foresaw was a continuation of

the Pentecostal movement into the charismatic renewal

that continues to this day.

Later, in 1961, God gave Rev. Tommy Hicks a vision of

the continuation of that revival: a worldwide movement

in which the "Awakening Giant"--the body of Christ--receives spiritual power and authority on such a scale as

has not been seen since the book of Acts.

This book retells these two amazing prophecies in their

entirety and also discusses their implications for the

world today. The revival of God's church continues, but

it won't be complete until every Spirit-filled believer

understands his or her unique role in its fulfillment.

Study these prophecies and ask God to reveal how He

would use you to bring the greatest revival in history to

completion.

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.
