The time: approximately 1,200 years before the birth of Jesus Christ. The place: the Sinai Peninsula, that barren and remote desert that separated Egypt from the Promised Land of Israel. Into this burning crucible, Moses led the children of Israel. They were on foot fleeing the bondage of Egypt, where they had spent the last 480 years. They were on their way to claiming their inheritance, a land they had never seen, a land flowing with milk and honey.

God has instructed me to share with you how to become spiritually mature. We will look at five elements that must be present in the Christian's life in order to become a mature believer. First, we are called to live a life of faith, pleasing God. We are also called to expect God to come through and deliver what we believe Him for; we must have hope, a confident expectation in God. In addition to this, we must have agape love to go along with our faith and hope. Equally important, we are called to have patience and to be steadfast and secure until we receive the manifestation of our answer ...

In Lamentations 3:40 we are told to examine our ways and test them, and to return to doing things the Lord's way. In I Corinthians 11:28 we are to examine ourselves before we partake of communion, to see if we are right with God.

The Twelve Patriarchs: A Handbook on Spiritual Warfare Identifying Attacks, Exposing Spirits, and Defending Your Inheritance Spiritual warfare did not begin in modern times. It began in Genesis. Long before believers spoke of deliverance, strongholds, or generational attacks, the twelve sons of Jacob were already engaged in spiritual conflict—through lust, jealousy, anger, pride, division, silence, and deception. The Twelve Patriarchs is a battle-ready handbook that exposes the ancient strategies of the enemy and shows how those same tactics are still used today against individuals, ...

For decades the church has invested in programs, courses, workshops, seminars, sermons, etc. to develop leadership potential. However, research and testimony shows that for all her effort, the church leadership is struggling with unprecedented moral failure and clinical burnout. This Little Book is a Scriptural argument that wants to wrestle with the question 'why?' What are we missing that our leaders, and even our members, fail to go the distance? What have we forgotten, or conveniently laid aside, in our pursuit of leadership? And most importantly, what can we do about it? The "Schalk's ...

“It is not easy to describe the distinctive richness of a fully mature personality. There are as many ways of developing and growing as there are individuals, and in each case the final product is unique. But if we look for general criteria to distinguish a fully developed personality from another immature, there are three distinguishing features that are essential and universal […] The extension of self, introspection and a unifying philosophy of life”. - This study puts into contact two apparently very different worlds: the 6th-century monastic milieu of Dorotheus and the research ...

Manifesting the Kingdom of God reveals God’s original and unchanging intent: that heaven’s order, authority, wisdom, and love would be made visible on earth through restored humanity. Salvation was never meant to end at forgiveness. It was meant to restore ...

Everything in the natural realm is in anguish—and not merely creation, nations, or even the Church. This anguish is progressive. Its sound is rising in the earth, a sound that cannot be silenced by progressive thinking, medicated by comfort, or explained away by theology alone. It is the sound of transition—history standing between what was lost and what is about to be revealed. Romans 8 unveils a mystery the Church must recover: groaning is not the language of defeat; it is the language of birth. The world is not collapsing—it is in labor. What feels like chaos is contraction. ...

THE SUBJECT OF SONSHIP that Apostle Greg Hood has chosen for this book, Sonship of the Kingdom, is vital for our times. Its biblical understanding is indeed life-changing. Sadly, because of nominal religion’s portrayal of Father God, much of our world has the wrong perspective of who God really is.

So many live in fear of our great God, not realizing his loving, tender, and gracious nature toward his children. He is not out to get us if we mess up. Let’s...
