Here is something new for all "how to" books on hearing God's voice. Start with the fact that all of God's children already hear His voice, and build on that. According to Romans 10:9, if you believe in your heart that God raised Jesus from the dead and have confessed Him as your Lord, you are born-again. If you are born-again, then you are one of Jesus' sheep, and if you are one of His sheep, you hear (not might hear) His voice.Whether you think you hear His voice or not, God (who cannot lie) says you do. So, the first step is to agree with God, and say what He says about you. You do hear His voice, you always have, you just have not recognized His voice yet. When you begin to recognize His voice, then you will know that you have always heard His voice, you just thought it was you at the time.It is vital that we recognize God's voice to operate in the Gifts of the Spirit, to live by faith, and to be led by the Spirit in ministry, and in our daily lives. God in us knows everything, and we get to partake of His omniscience.

"Whoever transgresses and does not abide in the doctrine of Christ does not have God. He who abides in the doctrine of Christ has both the Father and the Son. If anyone comes to you and does not bring this doctrine, do not receive him into your house nor greet him; For he who greets him shares in his evil deeds." Most people have an idea of who they think Jesus is, but many of their ideas are incorrect. The Lord Jesus wasn't just a great teacher, good person and a man of love. He was and is the Son of God. He was born of the virgin Mary, shed His Blood, died and arose from the dead. The leaders of all the other religions are dead and gone, but Jesus is alive and well! He has the keys of hell and of death!This book is about the importance of getting established in the doctrines of the Lord. The more established we are, the less we'll be deceived. You're not going to fall for anything counterfeit, if you know the genuine and stay with it.

"For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death" Romans 8:2Gravity is called the law of gravity because it always works. A law is something that always works. But if a higher law is introduced into the situation, it can override and temporarily stop the first law from working.The law of sin and death, or sin nature, is what enabled the devil to rule over lost humanity, and there was nothing we could do to override that law to be free from his tyranny.God loved us so much that He chose to introduce a higher law (a higher power and force) into our situation that could override and supersede the law connecting us to the kingdom of darkness.That law was the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus, and it goes into operation in a person's life the moment he accepts Jesus has his Lord and Savior! Through that law we can enjoy forgiveness, healing, deliverance, prosperity and victory in every area of your lives! It's all ours! Let's walk in it!!

When you give your life to God you enter into a new realm! A new dimension of living! The God of all creation is your God and He's living inside of you! Being born-again is the most important step you can take-but it is not all there is. You need to allow God to also fill you with the Holy Spirit. In this book you will learn about your new life with God, being filled with the Spirit, speaking in tongues, growing in knowledge and developing a vital part of your relationship in God-your prayer life.

"Now when the sons of the prophets who were from Jericho saw him, they said, "The spirit of Elijah rests on Elisha." And they came to meet him, and bowed to the ground before him." II Kings 2:15 I believe once again, there's an Elijah in the land, and it's not just one man. The Spirit and power of Elijah that was upon Elisha, was also upon John the Baptist. Was that it, or is the Spirit and power of Elijah here today? John prepared the way for the first coming of Jesus, who's preparing the way for His second coming? In this book, you'll find out what the Spirit and power of Elijah is, and the purpose for that anointing. You'll see how powerful that anointing is, and how important it is for the lost, as well as the Church. This is a revelation we must have. We are God's Elijah army in this world. It's time God's people rise up and be the mighty spiritual warriors they've been anointed to be! Let's win the lost, restore the Church, and be a force from Heaven that cannot be stopped!!

"And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come." Mathew 24:14 It's time for Believers to make a stand for God. Let's quit playing church and be the church! Let's step out in faith, even when those around us step back in fear! Let's be the ones the Lord uses to demonstrate His Kingdom in Spirit and power! Let's be the witnesses to all the nations that usher in the return of our Lord and Savior! May the Lord set us ablaze and our hearts pumping with faith in our service to fulfill His plans and purposes! Our hearts cry, to please Him, and to see the kingdoms of this world becoming the kingdoms of our Lord and Christ, so He can reign forever and ever!

Does your spiritual life seem lethargic and complacent? Deep in your heart, is there an indwelling hunger and thirst for more of all God wants to do in and through you for others? Until you step into your leadership position, you will miss out on the joy and fulfillment which are a result of recognizing and functioning according to your Divine purpose. God has called you to take dominion, to rule and reign in your life, and to be a great example that will influence and inspire those around you. In this book I want to encourage you to step out of the boat of mediocrity and complacency and be the awesome leader the Lord has made you in Christ! Allow that mighty leader within you to be fully displayed. You have been called out of this world by God for a Divine purpose. There are people waiting for you to be the leader you are destined to be!

Probably the greatest witness to the resurrection of Jesus is another resurrected man or woman. I believe that many people have been physically raised from the dead over the years, but not everyone has that testimony. The good news is, every Christian has been spiritually raised from the dead. If you are born again, then you are in Christ; since you are in Christ, His resurrection was your resurrection! As Believers, we have been spiritually resurrected with Christ, and one day we will be physically resurrected into our immortal bodies. Until that day, our Heavenly Father wants us to learn how to live and minister out of His supernatural, resurrection realm. We need to understand that we can now operate out of a totally different dimension than the non-Christians in the world. Great privileges come with being resurrected men and women in Christ. Great power from Heaven is available to flow through us in leading the lost to Christ, and demonstrating God's Kingdom. The Holy Spirit can now use us in bringing salvation, healing and miracles to the people! Let's be a great witness to the resurrection of Christ everywhere we go!

Most Christians know that salvation is God's will for everyone, but they don't know that healing is God's will for everyone. We understand the will of God for salvation because we have Scriptures which reveal that. We've been taught those Scriptures. We haven't been taught the Scriptures which reveal God's will concerning healing; therefore, we've ignorantly concluded that we don't know if it's God's will to heal us today. Our ignorance is from a lack of studying the Bible for ourselves, and choosing to listen to ministers who haven't spent any time studying the healing Scriptures, and therefore are not qualified to teach on the subject. Don't conclude that healing is not for everyone, since everyone won't be healed. Your conclusion should be based on God's Word, not people's experiences. We would never conclude that salvation is not for everyone, even though everyone won't go to Heaven.

"How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: "How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace. Who bring glad tidings of good things!"" Romans 10: 14,15 Everywhere my wife and I travel we hear the same hunger from the hearts of Christians. They want to know what their ministry is. In this book, you will discover exactly what ministry God has given you.

"...Your daughter is dead. Why trouble the Teacher any further? As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, He said to the ruler of the synagogue, Do not be afraid; only believe." Mark 5:35,36 I always say there are 2 reasons the devil will attack Christians: 1. Because they're serving God with all their hearts. 2. Because they are not serving God. Those are the 2 reasons. Did you notice a "constant" in there? Either way you're going to be attacked, so get ready. The good news is, the devil is defeated, and we will always experience the victory in every situation, if we will stand firm in faith and trust God! This book is about what it means to believe God, no matter what you're going through. Faith activates the Lord's power to work on our behalf, and as long as we keep the power on, we can expect God to turn our situation around to work out for our good and His glory! Our faith in Jesus truly is our Victory!

Every Christian has been given the great honor and privilege of operating in a new and eternal Blood covenant with Almighty God! Think about that! You are in a covenant with your creator and heavenly Father! Do you really know what that means?Many Christians do not realize that the Bible is made up of the old and new covenants, and the Word of God from Genesis to Revelation is the Word of His covenant to us today.In this book you will gain great insight into your union with Christ Jesus, as a result of your identification with Him in this wonderful Blood covenant. The precious Blood of Jesus which was shed for you and me won't be thought of as something that just happened in the past, but it will become very real to you in the present, and you will receive a greater revelation of how powerful and alive His Blood is in your life today!IF you haven't understood how important it is to "Plead the Blood," then get ready for a greater reality of the power and blessings that the Lord has made available to you through His Blood! All the victories and accomplishments of our Lord Jesus Christ are ours through His all-powerful covenant Blood!

In II Corinthians 12:2, the Apostle Paul said: "I know a man in Christ..." Just like Paul, you need to be able to say I know a man in Christ, because that man is you, if you are born again. If you are in Christ, you need to know what that means!Knowing your identity in Christ is probably one of the most important things you can do to experience victory and success in your Christian life on this earth! Remember, the devil could not deceive or trick Jesus when he faced those three tests in the wilderness. Jesus overcame every test, didn't He? The devil lost that battle because Jesus knew who He was, but that still did not stop the devil from attacking Jesus' identity three times.Three times he said, "If you are the Son of God". If the devil had the nerve to attack the identity of the Son of God, then why would you think that he would not attack your identity? That is why you better know who you are! I don't mean where you went to High School, what town you grew up in or how well you understand your occupation!I am talking about knowing that you know what your spiritual identity is; what your place and position is in Christ, and it happens to be in the secret place of the Most High! No matter what tests, trials and temptations come your way in life, the main attack from the devil will be against your identity in Christ. Satan wants you to doubt who you are in Christ, who Jesus Christ is in you and what God can do through you on this earth for His glory; all because and only you are in Christ!!

"Let us come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need." - Hebrews 4:16In Ephesians Chapter 2, the Bible tells us we have been made alive together, raised up together and made to sit together in the Heavenly places in Christ Jesus. The Lord sat down because He finished all the work for us at Calvary. He's resting now.We must get a revelation of what God meant when He said that He made us to sit. No matter what you're dealing with in life, you are actually at rest and peace in Christ right now! Our Father has already completed and finished everything for us! The Lord wants us to learn how to live down here from up there. Our position determines our condition. No matter where we go on this earth, we get to operate in all the power and blessings from our place in Christ at our Father's right hand! We are living under an open Heaven!

What does it mean to repent? Can a person repent without someone telling him to repent? Did the Apostle Paul repent when Jesus appeared to him in Acts 9? Did the Lord tell him to repent? Did the eunich repent in Acts 8, before Philip led him to the Lord? Did Philip tell him to repent? What about when the Apostle Peter was sent to the household of Cornelius? Did Peter tell them to repent? We know they got saved and filled with the Spirit while Peter was preaching. He didn't even give an altar call. In Acts 3:19, Peter said to repent and be converted. What exactly does that mean? In Mark 1:15, Jesus said to repent and believe the Gospel. What did He mean by that? We need a better understanding of what it means for a lost person to repent, and for a Christian to repent. In Revelation 2, the Lord Jesus told the church at Ephesus that they lost their first love. What does that mean? Should we examine our lives to make sure Jesus is still our first love? Jesus gave this church an A plus for their good works, but still rebuked them! Is there something else we need to understand?

I heard a great teacher of faith give this response when asked why he taught so much about faith. He said according to Ephesians 2:8 we are saved by faith. No one can be saved without faith. Romans 1:17 says the just shall live by faith. As Christians we cannot live without faith. The Bible says that we walk by faith in II Corinthians 5:7. We cannot walk with God every day without faith. The Apostle Paul said that our faith grows exceedingly in II Thessalonians 1:3. Therefore, we spiritually grow up by faith. We please God by faith. According to Hebrews 11:6 it is impossible for us to please God without faith. God said it is impossible! Wow! No matter how developed we are in hope, love, joy, peace and giving; you and I cannot please our Father God without faith! So, we are saved, we walk, we live, we grow and we please God by faith. It sounds to me like faith is very, very important! Of course it is not the only subject to teach from the Bible, but it is one we should major in! Since faith comes by hearing God's Word (Romans 10:17), let us press in with all of our hearts to see our faith soar to new heights every day!!

Romans 5:2 says that through faith we access God's grace and receive what we need from the Lord. Ephesians 2:8 tells us that by grace we have been saved through faith. Romans 4:16 says that it is of faith that it might be according to grace. As you can see, grace and faith are very important and they always work together. My desire is that the Word of God in this book will be a tremendous help and blessing in your understanding about operating in faith and experiencing God's supernatural rest in your life. I believe that many times we probably thought we were using our faith to receive from God but we were not in faith at all. One of the main things that will help us to know when we are in faith is a greater revelation and understanding of God's grace! For you who feel that you already have a good understanding of the grace of God but are still struggling to experience what has been provided for you through grace then I believe you will receive a greater revelation and understanding of how to truly release your faith and access God's grace. Expect your faith to soar and your life to be mightily changed and transformed by the Spirit of God through His Word!!

Do you want to be a great financial channel for God's Kingdom? Do you want to be a vessel the Lord can use on a regular basis to invest thousands of dollars in the proclamation of the Gospel? If your answer is yes, then guess what you will need? Money! If you cannot pay your own bills then how are you going to finance the Gospel throughout this earth? It is time for God's sons and daughters to demonstrate to the world that we are the Blessed of the Lord! Salvation is God's will for everyone! Healing is God's will for everyone! Prosperity is God's will for everyone! Now, there will be lots of people who will not receive these blessings, but that still does not nullify the will of God for their lives! We as Christians need to learn how to use our faith to receive from the Lord, not only the new birth and healing, but great financial prosperity! Everything has already been done for us in Christ by His grace, but we still must learn how to receive or appropriate it. Many of the most spiritual and greatest men and women of God in the Bible were also the wealthiest men and women on the earth! God wants you to have plenty for you and your family, and plenty to invest into the Work of the Lord! Let's make up our minds to always be supernatural, bountiful and cheerful givers, available for God to use us every day for His glory!
