Mary of Bethany stands alone in the Gospels. She was the friend of Jesus, sharer of His secrets. She abides, uninhibited and limitless, an eternal emblem of adoration of Jesus. Mary received from Jesus what no other player in the Redemption Story received: His never-ending command that where the gospel is preached, the story of her alabaster jar is to be told. This book proclaims her memorial place with extraordinary insight and reverence, laced with the goal of following this quiet one who was the delight of Jesus into our own . . . ADORATION. Here is a profound gaze at the very human ...

Do you desperately wish that you were stronger, smarter, or better looking? Do you feel depressed or disappointed over who you are and who you are not? Are you sowing seeds of destruction in your life without even knowing it? Self-hatred seems like such a normal human thing that we don’t think too much about it. But God orchestrated Martha Kilpatrick’s life and her experience – including her failures and devastation – to bring a strong message to the Body of Christ: Do not hate yourself. “I want people who suffer from self-hatred to understand it, to overcome it, and to shut the ...

This dynamic and Spirit-filled exploration of the life and calling of Elijah prepares readers for the task of understanding and unmasking the Jezebel spirit and obtaining deliverance from the Jezebel spirit in themselves, as well as their home, family, and church. Chariot of Fire offers keen discernment and diagnosis of the Jezebel Spirit, but more than that, it delves into the personal relationship between Elijah and God that is crucial to overcoming. The daily spiritual and practical equipping of Elijah ensured his victory over evil, a triumph that had to be personal before it could be ...

“Sin is the failure to love God.” Your life will be measured not in terms of how much you did, but by the depth and quality of your love—that is, by how much you received of God’s love. Every test of life is a test of love: What do you love? Who do you love? Whose love do you love? Every day, our lives answer these questions. Do we see it? Join Martha as she elaborates on the lives of lovers who followed the Lamb: Mary of Bethany, Peter, David, Brother Lawrence, Madame Guyon, and Frederick Faber. There is joy and mystery when living as one loved by God – come discover it for ...

“I want you to never give up until you know by experience and therefore BELIEVE the love God has for you!” The central issue of all of life is loving God, yet none of us is capable of loving Him. That is the truth, but we should never despair, because our failure to love God is His to solve. And He will, if we’ll just let Him! In this teaching, Martha reveals the many competitors to loving God as well as the unfathomable Love that exposed them—a picture of the wondrous adventure of loving God by experiencing His great love for us!

"God has a story written on your life, and you are going to have to make peace with your story in order to make peace with God." God is obvious. Plain. Our response should be awe at His power and gratitude for His goodness. To fail in these responses is to begin a downward spiral to certain and unending disaster. In this teaching, Martha illustrates the soul sickness that results when we reject God in the circumstances of our suffering. Through a deeply personal testimony, she also gives the keys to complete and radical healing for our broken souls.

"To be utterly simple is the hardest of all efforts." God called me to consider the lily... So the lily entered my life. All things were under the inspection of the lily and laid against the lily for contrast. I assumed the lily came to be my friend, to support me. I was wrong. The lily came to kill what was not lily in me. In this beautiful booklet, Martha shares one of her most poignant and personal writings regarding the secret of total surrender.

“The principle of the child is one ability and only one: simple receiving of all things.” In Matthew 18, Jesus gave two requirements for entering the Kingdom: turn away from sin, and become like little children. We are quite familiar with the first, but the second is rarely taught. Do we know what a ‘little child’ is and how to become one? Our very entrance to the Kingdom depends on it. By exploring the parable of the Prodigal Son and examining the lives of David and Jesus Christ, Martha Kilpatrick unveils the picture painted throughout the Bible of what it means to “become like ...

"Where is God in our common troubles?" "What is He doing in the chaotic Now?" "Who is God in His nature? In His being?" God is so magnificently God that His vast imperial reign is powerful enough to fix any human dilemma swallow all pain and answer every quandary ... He is God. In these pages are piercing insights into the very flavor of God amidst the struggles of humanity as told through the lives of Abraham, David, Esther, Joseph and others. Martha Kilpatrick writes in a unique poetic prose style, and her book sends a fresh plumb line into the depths of Old Testament characters as they ...

Do we serve a God who is small and contained? If we feel comfortable with this Master of Surprise, we may need to question whether we have met Him at all. God is shocking! We build tight religious circles to confine and control Him, but in doing so, we miss the outlandish freshness of each new day and each new situation. Choosing to let God BE God frees us to experience the wondrous discovery of Who He is and Who He is in me!

When you truly fear God, then you fear nothing else. But if you don’t fear God, you fear everything. Is overcoming fear in your life really that important? Yes! Fear debilitates every area of your life and infects every relationship you hold dear. When your fear is placated, or worse, indulged, then you will do whatever it takes to keep yourself safe. And that is a dark road—physically, mentally, emotionally, and especially spiritually. Fear opens the door to every immorality and lawlessness, and it must be overcome. “The war of your life is going to be between what God has promised ...

"Worth and importance do not lie in what you do; it lies in who HE is, and how much you choose to be with Him." You can't control God and make Him appear. Your job is waiting. Your job is being. He is the One who comes and causes His will to appear. Will you be one that stands in His presence? In this teaching, Martha describes the radical, hidden life of prayer as exemplified in the lives of Joshua and David.

Do you feel disconnected from the world around you, alone even in a crowd, wondering why every joy is fleeting? Most people think that fulfillment comes by gaining more money, more power, more intimacy, more approval, more achievements. But in this surprising booklet, Martha Kilpatrick shows us where to find the narrow path to fullness. Every believer is called to a great destiny in communion with God… but the way to find it may not be what you think.

“We secretly believe God has made many mistakes and failed to show up many times.” There is a lie out in the universe and in your heart, and mine. A lie about God. It is an enormous lie, an ongoing lie. Until this lie is exposed and rooted out, we won’t know God as He truly is—and we won’t experience the wondrous adventure of the life He has for us. In this teaching, Martha explores how the enemy works through life’s events to cause us to draw conclusions about God: that He lies, that He is not good, and that He withholds what we need. It’s time to refuse the lie and ...

Is it possible to live in security with daily disasters and a looming economic collapse? Families are falling apart, mass murder is on the rise, and nations are shaking. In times of devastation, when everything is crashing, where do you turn? There is a place of true security and provision. It is the kingdom of God: that ethereal concept is real and practical, present and functional. In this booklet, Martha Kilpatrick clearly demonstrates that the Kingdom is the only unshakable in the midst of the collapsible.

“All of us have people and situations that we think are too much for God, if we are honest.” We each have an internal view of the powers at work around us, and we respond to people and situations based on these beliefs. In other words, in a given situation, we believe this power or that power rules. There is only One whose power rules all, but do we function as if we believe that? In this teaching, Martha looks at each of the powers in the universe (man, Satan, God) against the authority of the Scripture to see who actually has power – real power. She promises, “If you grasp this, ...

"Repentance is the door...to seeing God." Our lives will pivot on whether or not we repent. How astonishingly simple is this basic principle of the Gospel. God doesn't want anything of us but that we admit the truth about ourselves and desire to be different. He will do all the rest! Not sure you've truly seen Jesus? Struggling to love Him as you know you should? Here is the solution. In this teaching, Martha explores personal repentance as our essential preparation for recognizing, and loving, the Son of God.

"Only love endues anything with worth and value. Whatever is of love has great worth." We see the meaning of life within our roles and duties, as practical and in this world. If we see a little further, we might say we live to serve God. But for the most part, we are a mystery to ourselves. Would you like to unlock the mystery of you? In this teaching, Martha reveals the secret of our existence in God's love—and in His love, we find the meaning of it all.

We are driven to be Something because we are terrified to be Nothing. This world doesn’t just celebrate the Someones and Somethings, it adores them. Yet the world is ever at odds with God’s kingdom. Jesus said, “Whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.” Here is the fork in the road we come to each day. Every born-again believer is called to be a Nothing in a world that worships the Something. The Joy Unequaled of Being Nothing clearly shows what being Nothing looks like and even more simply reveals the great reward that comes with it. ...

"Decision is yours. Performance is God's." Free will is a gift given only to mankind, but a gift so absolute that God Himself will never take it back. He will rule. He will have the last word, but He will never make your choice for you. You choose. You will choose. In this teaching, Martha explores the power of decision and shows how God limits Himself to work in our lives based on our decisions.
