The Spirit of Rejection: Heal Its Wounds, Restore Your Self-Esteem, and Move On to Promotion

If left untreated, rejection wounds self-esteem and cripples self-concept. Many turn to prayer, which is necessary to expel the foul spirits of rejection. Yet, giving yourself to prayer is only one essential step to dealing with rejection. Expelling the demons does not negate the thought patterns, defense mechanisms, and wounds their former presence reinforced. This book borrows insight from simple medical practice to help readers add wisdom to their prayers, expel other spirits associated with the spirit of rejection, and uproot rejection’s detrimental effects. We’ll apply pressure to the wound(s), clean the wound(s), and protect the wound(s) to facilitate their total healing. We’ll also illuminate how rejection is both an indictment against the rejecter and a stepping stone for promotion. Each chapter of this book includes prayers and reflection questions that can be used individually or during group discussions for journaling or counseling.

Teaching the Bible with Excellence: Answering the Call to the Teaching Ministry

Can you remember the first Bible teacher who impacted your life? Perhaps it was a Sunday School teacher, parent, or pastor. You’ll likely never forget what they taught, even if you were a child when you heard it. Moreover, teaching the Word of God is central to the Great Commission. We cannot make disciples if there are no teachers to teach them. Whether endowed with the spiritual gift of teaching or professionally trained to teach, if we become Bible teachers, we must emulate the heart, methods, and approaches of our Master Teacher, Jesus. We must understand the teaching ministry as a calling and invitation.

This book outlines the Bible teacher’s responsibilities, presents the teaching ministry’s goal, examines Jesus’ teaching methods, lists the proper tools and suggested methods for studying, and challenges you to understand what Christian education should accomplish. It can be used for individual or group training, includes reflection questions and activities, and is both spiritual and practical empowerment for Bible teachers to serve their gift in excellence. In addition, it provides practical tips for teaching adults, understanding adult learning motivation and principles, creating learning objectives, and designing lesson plans.

Whether an experienced or new Bible teacher, I hope you are ready to start this exciting journey of empowerment to elevate your teaching ministry and play your part in the Great Commission. Let’s begin!

Fervent Fire for Prevailing Intercessory Prayer

Are you a prayer warrior who wants your intercessory prayer to yield results like never before? Do you understand the connection between the Old and New Testament priesthoods and your prayer life? How should we approach prayer about events such as the removal of the 10 commandments from the Oklahoma State Capitol? A scriptural understanding of the pattern of the priesthood is necessary to maximize your prayer effectiveness and change your family, community and nation in the process. Fervent Fire reveals this pattern, which so many New Testament believers fail to examine, and swings open a door of insight to the present-day workings of priests, sacrifices, altars, thrones and angels. In this book, you’ll discover the exciting journey of the early priesthood, its connection to David’s household drama and how a shrewd, scheming politician manipulated the pattern of the priesthood to secure his throne. All the while, you’ll be building up to a wonderful and new revelation of exactly why Jesus calls us a royal priesthood. Fervent Fire, the first of the 5-book Priest and Warrior Intercessor Series, is essential for all intercessors, fundamental to every believer and of utmost necessity to those who have purposed for their Christianity to add value to the royal priesthood and holy nation.

Understanding the Power of Agreement: A Necessary Key for Prayer, Relationships, and Progress

There is extraordinary, supernatural power in agreement. In fact, in Matthew 18:19, Jesus promised that if we come to a place of agreement, we can have anything—yes, anything—we ask. Yet, how is it that Jesus could give us a blank check and we so rarely see its guaranteed results (results backed by Jesus)? Could it be that we really don’t understand what agreement is? This book is an essential exploration of the meaning and power of agreement. It reveals the dynamics of agreement and facilitates the necessary platform for any believer, prayer warrior, married couple, or family to realize maximum results from the power of agreement.

I Am: The Divine Purpose Manifesto

In the face of accusations and threats from the enemy, people of divine purpose must boldly proclaim who they are, even as Jesus declared, “I Am.” This book illuminates the “I Am” statements of Jesus, the underdog status from which he pronounced them and the reality of Sonship he purchased for us with his own blood. He came into the world as the Son of God, but his own received him not—they did not believe that he was who he said he was. Nevertheless, he proclaimed his manifesto, “I Am.” In this book, you will discover the power of those statements. Then, with new faith in your own status as daughter or son, you will proclaim your own manifesto. You too will be empowered to overachieve—to do greater works, in Jesus name.
