Closer To God

Closer to God – A 10-Week Study on Prayer

by Emily Wickham

 While this book appears to be a day-by-day 10-week daily devotional, it is a rich and deep study of the biblical foundations of prayer – Relationship, Worship and Ministry. With a deeper weekly focus on Hope, Faith, Peace, Joy, Intercession and Leadership.

Each day beings with a short story from the author’s life experiences and a brief prayer. Which is followed by a scripture reading and a pause for meditation along with two questions for the reader to consider and use to write out their own prayer for the day.

This book is more than a “how-to” prayer guide, it is a hands on discovery into a deeper prayer life

The King Is Coming

The King is Coming

by John Bevere

The title of this book really does say it all! Yes, He is coming!

I truly did enjoy this book. The author methodically walks the reader through the Biblical evidence of our soon coming King as the author takes the reader through what the Bible actually says, about Jesus’ return and how that knowledge should change the way we live.

He does not introduce fear, or speculation.  Just hope and preparation for our eternity.

From the book description: “Through personal testimonies and a close examination of Scripture, John offers readers spiritual truths, insight, encouragement, and practical steps to develop a readiness shaped by faith and obedience. And as with The Awe of God, each chapter will close with his 5 P’s: Passage, Point, Ponder, Prayer, and Profession.

The King Is Coming is both a wake-up call, faith builder, and a source of hope for Christian men and women seeking to deepen their relationship with Christ and prepare for His glorious return.”

I highly recommend this book.

You Are A CurseBreaker

You Are a Cursebreaker – Shatter Generational Curses and Claim Spiritual Blessings
By Jennifer Eivaz

“Uncovering the hidden dynamics of generational strongholds, familiar spirits, and the impact of corrupted bloodlines, pastor and bestselling author Jennifer Eivaz offers a scriptural and spiritual roadmap to freedom and generational blessing.”

This is not the first book I have read by this author, and just as with the other I have read, it did not disappoint. Throughout this book, the author relates and teaches the reader with her real life, world-wide experiences as a Spiritual Warrior. Ms. Eivaz speaks and writes with Kingdom authority and wisdom on this often hush-hush subject within the walls of many churches.

To Intercessors and Prayer Warriors, this is a deep and insightful must read. I highly recommend become more than a read-once… study it well.

What’s Your Price?

“Then one of the Twelve, the one called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests and asked, “What are you willing to give me if I hand Him over to you?” And they set out for him thirty pieces of silver.”  Matthew 26:14-15

What amount of money, fame, prestige, influence, authority, or wealth would it take for you to sell out Jesus Christ? For Judas, it was 30 pieces of silver. What’s your price? Do you have a price?

We live in a society where we are so interconnected… we have the ability, in the blink of an eye, to post, snap, tweet, share, pin, link, blog, ping and tag any and every thought, idea, or belief to family, friends, colleagues and strangers around the world.

But what if our family, friends, colleagues, and strangers don’t agree with our thoughts, ideas, and beliefs? What then? At what point do you stop posting, snapping, tweeting, sharing, pinning, linking, blogging, pinging, and tagging? 

What if somebody completely disagrees with you and doesn’t like what you have to say? What if those strangers don’t like what you have to say? Do we change our stand, for the sake of harmony? Or do you stand? Are you willing to lose the approval of strangers for your thoughts, ideas, or beliefs? What about friends, family, and colleagues? Are you ready to maybe have your feelings hurt?

I imagine that most here are thinking… well if I say something uncomfortable and a stranger doesn’t like what I’m saying that I am not going to change what I stand for. I get that.

What about colleagues? What about your livelihood? What if what you spoke was “not allowed” or considered improper or politically incorrect or deemed intolerant by your employer? Are you okay to lose your income for what you believe? Will you continue to stand strong in your beliefs? Remember, we’re talking about making your living and your income. Continue reading

Oranges Make Orange Juice

For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of Matthew 12:34

“A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in him, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in him.”
Matthew 12:35

“But the things that come out of a person’s mouth come from the heart, and these defile them.” Matthew 15:18

What do those verses have to do with Orange Juice? Let’s take a step back. If you were to take a whole, unpeeled orange and squeeze it with all your strength, what would the result be? Right… the result would be orange juice; it wouldn’t be tomato juice or apple juice. Because an orange, or any fruit for that matter, can only give up what it contains on the inside.

Kingdom Authority

Throughout this book, Pastor Tony Evans shows us about how satan’s priority is to derail the blessings and purpose of the believer. Satan and his demon can bring disruption to your life to such a level that you end up broken and beat down… unable to carry out the destiny God has in store for you.

Contrary to popular belief, satan cannot be defeated by thinking good thoughts and speaking positive affirmations. The only way to defeat satan and his disruptive power is through the authority we have through the shed blood of Jesus Christ on the Cross.

In this powerful book, Pastor Evans walks us through reclaiming what the enemy has stolen and fix what has broken in our lives and situations and learn to walk in Kingdom Authority.

This is a powerful book and definitely will go to my “read again” stack.
