God is not calling to our intellects. He is calling to our hearts. He is calling to that deep inner place where we are, to where we will become his people. And when we become his people, then he becomes Lord of all. When that happens, then no matter what he does, it is within the realm of his love and his kindness and his mercy and his grace. We have a God who is so great that he will work through us to bring his miracles and to bring his healing. Because it's God who is in control, and we trust only in him.

We all face death. It is inevitable. The Scriptures say that life is a mist that appears for a little while then vanishes. The fact is, life as a Christian is a process of learning not only how to live, but how to get ready to die. What’s the key? The way to get ready to die, Jamie Buckingham states, is to simply die ahead of time. The way to get ready for the casket is to go by way of the Cross. The way to get ready for eternal life is to lay down your life here on earth. Only then will you be able to face not only the challenge of dying, but also the challenges of living. As a Christian...

Have you ever watched an eagle soar? Picture one now, gliding motionless on the thermal winds, far above the gusts that whip the surface of the earth. His movement is most graceful when he yields to the flow of the currents and lets them carry him. That's the way it is with Christians, says Jamie Buckingham, when we relinquish our lives to the movement of God's spirit.

It is God's purpose and plan for us all to grow old and to go through physical changes. But it is not God's purpose for us to grow old and stop serving Him. Everything changes because our God is a God of change. There is nothing stationary about God. He is always moving and progressing forward and, as Christians, we are part of something God is doing, regardless of our age or physical condition. So regardless of how old you are or how you feel physically, God still has something for you to do for His kingdom.

Christians are under attack from a deadly but invisible enemy. God has given us orders to be armed for battle in spiritual warfare. As we are witnessing in the world today, Satan has mounted a massive attack against Christians and the church. As a result there is a great resurgence of interest in spiritual warfare. Christians of all persuasions must realize they do not have to be pushed around by the devil. Jesus Christ has given us authority, not only to cast out demons, but to bash in the gates of hell.

Preacher, teacher, story-teller, moralist. Spiritual surgeon, sage, writer, comic. All things considered, it seems the only label that fits author Buckingham is Jamie!

Have you ever found yourself in a pit, emotionally, financially, or spiritually? In a way only he can teach, Jamie Buckingham relates the pit experiences of Joseph from the audiobook of Genesis to our own “pits” of today. Joseph found himself in two very different kinds of pits in his life: once in the desert when he angered his brothers, and again in Egypt, when he was punished for doing the right things in the eyes of God.

Often, as people read the Bible, they come under the conviction that God wants them to change their ways. Or perhaps He wants to encourage them with the example of one of His fearful but obedient children. Or warn them of impending disaster if they persist in behavior He does not condone. Why do Bible people affect them this way? Because they are not legendary giants or superheroes; they are ordinary people.

Have you ever wondered what Disney World would be like if it were centered on Jesus instead of cartoon characters? Would it be a good thing? Or would there just be as much fantasy as any other theme park run by robotics and remote controls? Is it okay to make Jesus and his message more entertaining if people are converted in the process? Or is it better to simply follow the pattern of his life and his lifestyle, and make not just converts, but true disciples?

Do you want to hear from God, but you have trouble discerning His voice in your life? Do you want to obey the commands of God, but you don’t have the power to do so on a daily basis? Do you want to be able to stand in the Last Days, but you don’t know if you have what it takes? In this booklet, taken directly from one of his sermons, Jamie Buckingham provides answers to these questions and more. Using Hebrews 10 as his text, Jamie addresses several essential principles that determine our capacity to hear God, obey Him, and live according to His perfect plan and purpose.

There is a curtain on the invisible world. Yet, there are times when God raises the curtain and we are permitted to see beyond the veil into the spiritual world. What is beyond is marvelous. Angels are all around us, and they are standing ready to fight our spiritual battles for us. All we need to do to activate them is to pray. When we pray, God mobilizes the angelic forces, and suddenly the battle is no longer ours. The battle is the Lord’s. In this little book, Jamie Buckingham tells of the importance of prayer in his life. He then relates the story of the prophet Elisha and how, when ...

In the last sermon he ever preached, Jamie Buckingham said, "“If I fold my tent now and quit, then the pain I've already experienced and the suffering I've already walked through are for nothing. All the things I've learned throughout this entire ordeal (his battle with cancer) will have been wasted, and the future blessings God has promised for my children and my grandchildren and many others around me will be gone" He went on to say, "We can't afford to stop. We simply can't afford to quit. We must finish the work the Lord has given us, so we can be complete...All you have to do is ...

God has many ways of teaching us. Jesus taught by example. Men looked at how he lived, and decided to walk that way also. He also taught by precept, speaking directly to people, in a way we might call teaching today. But his favorite way of teaching was through the use of the parable. He loved to tell stories—stories with spiritual meanings. "In the fall of 1987," Jamie said, "I visited Israel with a camera crew. We had obtained permission from the Israeli government to set up cameras at ten of the sites where Jesus told his best-known parables.

Do you have a desire in your heart—a deep longing that you hope for day after day, year after year? Do you have some sort of unrequited yearning that is burning deep within you, something that you want very badly to happen, but it hasn’t come about yet? I believe there is within most of us a desire or a dream or a vision that we hope will one day come to pass. We may have never expressed this desire or dream to anybody. It may be so private and so personal that we have never been able to even speak it out loud. It just resides within us, at the very heart of us. I firmly believe that ...

Healing is at the very heart of the gospel of Jesus Christ. The Lord manifested Himself—He made Himself known—through healing. Why healing? Because that is where God’s heart is. God’s heart is toward suffering people. Jesus didn’t countermand medicine. He just went beyond it. This book, taken from a teaching by Jamie Buckingham, explains why the healing power of Jesus is still relevant for our lives today. As Jamie states, those who truly desire to move with God will eventually come to understand that God cares for us and wants to heal us. Jamie also discusses what the Scriptures ...

King Ahaz and King Hezekiah were father and son in the times of ancient Israel. They came after King David and King Solomon, yet, Ahaz, was an evil king and he provoked God to wrath. On the other hand, his son, Hezekiah, did not follow in his father’s footsteps, but instead sought the Lord with all his heart. His first actions as king were to rebuild the temple his father had desecrated and destroy all the idols his father brought into the land. Hezekiah again brought praise and worship of God to the land. And joy replaced the fear and the gloom of the former reign. Using these historic ...
