In a season where the Church co-exists harmoniously with truth and error, this book provides us with a precision tool and well-calibrated instrument of change that is able to fine-tune the global Body of Christ. The Book of Esther is rich with revelation that is still valid and applicable for the day in which we live. Hidden within its pages is a powerful "present truth" message. The lives of the people involved and the conditions that are seen have spiritual parallels for the Church. Our destiny as the Body of Christ is revealed. The preparations and conditions we must attain to are all similar. About the Author: Michael Scantlebury is founder and Senior Elder of Dominion-Life International Ministries; and the Apostle and Founder of the Kingdom-impact International Network. He travels and ministers a strong Kingdom message out of a burning desire to see the Church come to full maturity for greater function in the earth. He lives with his wife Sandra, and their three adult children in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

What kind of church does God need in the earth today to powerfully impact the nations for Christ and advance His Kingdom in this century? I believe this is on the most important questions that Apostles and Prophets must answer. Apostle Michael Scantlebury is a visionary apostolic leader and gifted communicator whose new book "The Fortress Church" contains a revelatory exposition from Scripture that gives us an accurate and compelling picture of what this Church should look like. As Michael Scantlebury's writing sketches for us from God's Word the blueprint of the powerful Church of influence, he also puts an emphasis on the profound truth that only through apostolic revelation can it be clearly seen, and only be apostolic wisdom can it be accurately built. The incredible supernatural design, architecture and dynamics of this glorious Church God has destined for planet earth is clearly found throughout Scripture. But because of centuries of tradition, much of the pattern of how to build it has been hidden from our spiritual eyes. The past 500 years of reformation ignited by Martin Luther and many others, have progressively brought the Church out of the dark ages, restoring to Her so many biblical truths that began to make Her strong and vibrant again. Apostle Michael Scantlebury takes his place as a missional thinker, risk-taking pioneer and apostolic reformer in this 21st century, who's published works concerning present truth, the restoration of the ministry gift of the Apostle, and the Apostolic Church, is making a tremendous contribution and impact to a fresh and new apostolic reformation movement that is circling the globe in this season and growing exponentially. I am pleased to endorse "The Fortress Church" as a must read for every ministry leader who desires a greater perspective and insight into the plan of God for His Church in this generation, and in the ones to come, and I want to commend Michael Scantlebury for giving us such a timely work. -- Apostle Axel Sippach (Executive Director, IMPACT Network, Seattle, WA) About the Author: Michael Scantlebury is founder and Senior Elder of Dominion-Life International Ministries; and the Apostle and Founder of the Kingdom-impact International Network.

The Bible has a lot to say about leaven and its effects upon the Believer. Leaven as an ingredient gives a false sense of growth. In the New Testament there are at least six types of leaven spoken about and we will be exploring them in detail, in order to ensure that our lives are completely free of the first five, and completely influenced by the sixth These types of leaven include the following: The leaven of the Pharisees; The leaven of the Sadducees; The leaven of the Galatians; The leaven of Herod; The leaven of the Corinthians. However, the Leaven of the Kingdom of God, is the only type of leaven that has the power and capacity to bring about true growth and lasting change to our lives. What Others Are Saying About This Book: We are inspired by works such as these that remind us of the necessity of an unquenchable appreciation of who God is and how we are to worship Him, in spirit and in truth. As you read this book, open your heart to the Spirit and Truth of God and let Him work in you for a greater and more exceeding weight of glory. Bishop Tudor Bismark - Jabula House; Harare, Zimbabwe We are indebted to Apostle Michael Scantlebury for this book, which deeply analyzes and exposes evil leaven of many kinds, but then ends up with a joyful and victorious revelation of the Leaven of the Kingdom. I love this book - C. Peter Wagner, Apostolic Ambassador The Church today is brashly confronted with ambiguous teachings and behaviours contrary to the Bible-Michael Scantlebury audaciously sets before us teaching that reveal the "good and bad" of what precisely is meant by "A little leaven leavens the whole lump." Walter Boston, Jr. - Senior Apostolic Team Leader; C. A. U. S. E. International I love the idea behind this book. It is fresh, revelatory, and it opens key ideas from the Scripture that have been overlooked for a very long time. Brad Herman, The Arsenal Bookstore - www.arsenalbooks.com In my estimation, this is the most current and up to date book concerning leaven, a "Must Read," foundational book that must be echoed throughout the Church in order for the Church to be a true Light and Life to the World - Dr. Tim & Theresa Early - Apostles, Founder - The Foundation of the Apostles and Prophets International

For those of you who don't know it already, the Church that Jesus Christ is building is not an ornate building that houses preaching and a song service, but rather the Body of Believers in the Lord Jesus Christ The Church is not being built with natural materials but with the lives of people. One of the absolutely breathtaking revelations about the Church was revealed to the Apostle Paul and conveyed in his writings to the church at Ephesus when he wrote: "For we are his masterpiece, created in Christ Jesus for good works that God prepared long ago to be our way of life." Ephesians 2:10 ISV] What a powerful picture of the Church of Jesus Christ - His Masterpiece The reference to a masterpiece lends to the idea that there are several other pieces and among them all this particular one stands head and shoulders above the rest This is so true when it comes to the Church that Jesus Christ is building; when you place it alongside everything else that God has created, the Church is by far His Masterpiece Thank you for a wonderful gift to the Body of Christ in "I will Build My Church." - Jesus Christ. I believe this book will safe-guard a lot of innocent folk from wandering away from eternal salvation. What a word of truth for the hungry - Pastor Sunday Adelaja, Kyiv, Ukraine, Embassy of God, www.godembassy.org The Church of Jesus Christ is a governing Church with a governing people...In this apostolic model you will be equipped to deal with principalities and powers that have filled the minds of people with reprobate world views. - Jonas Clark, Florida, USA, Spirit of Life Ministries, www.jonasclark.com My father, with his unique writing style, has provided a "must read" guide for anyone who considers themselves a part of Christ's Church, and who wants to build accurately... - Rachel Scantlebury, Dominion-Life International Ministries, Canada Elder Scantlebury has written a very clear, easy to read book that exposes the counterfeit, and reveals the true Church of Jesus Christ. - Michael & Joann Haynes, Dominion-Life International Ministries, Canada Elder Michael Scantlebury has brought forth a clear and Biblically-based description of the role of the Church and how it is to function in the midst of this world system. - Rachel Camps, Dominion-Life International Ministries, Canada This book presents to us a new perspective for shaping of Church mentalities and operations...This book is an excellent contribution to the global Church. - Dr. Robert Munien, Grace Outreach Ministries, Durban, South Africa, www.graceoutreach.net
