About this listen
When Jack Deere turned 17, he did not know God or a single verse of Scripture. At 27, he became a professor of Old Testament Exegesis and Semitic Languages at Dallas Theological Seminary. He started and pastored an influential church in Ft. Worth, Texas. He taught his church and his students that God no longer gave the "miraculous gifts of the Spirit" or spoke outside the pages of Scripture.
After teaching seminary for 10 years, a best-selling author shocked Deere when he told him that he not only believed God was regularly healing people today, but that he had seen undeniable miracles in answer to his prayers. For the next four months, Deere studied every healing story in the New Testament. This time he came to those stories with the open mind of a scholar, completely at home in the original languages of the Bible, not as a gullible student swallowing the prejudices of his teachers. At the end of those four months, Deere was convinced, against his will, that God was still healing and speaking just as he had done in the New Testament.
Deere and his wife Leesa began to pray for people in their church and witnessed dramatic, documented healings.
In Why I Am Still Surprised by the Power of the Spirit, Deere demonstrates that the Scriptures teach that God is healing and speaking today just as he did 2,000 years ago. He tells documented stories of modern miracles. He explains the nature of spiritual gifts, defines each spiritual gift, offers sound advice on discovering and using the gifts in church today. He shows how all of this part of God's way of deepening our friendship with him.
A modern classic, Surprised by the Power of the Spirit was published 25 years ago, and in that book, Deere claimed that he would live long enough to see the majority of conservative evangelicals come to believe in all the gifts of the Spirit.... That has come true. The theological landscape has changed dramatically. Nearly completely rewritten, this new edition still offers that proof but has about 70 percent new material on the practical matters of experiencing and using spiritual gifts. For example, anyone who prays regularly for the sick will encounter demonic power. Demons pop up all over the Synoptic Gospels. There are two new chapters on ministering to the demonized. There is much confusion on what it means to be filled with the Spirit today. Deere takes three chapters to examine every use of "filled with the Spirit" and "full of the Spirit" in the New Testament to show why and how God still fills his servants with the Holy Spirit. There are many new stories of God's power, even walking on water and multiplying food. Deere also introduces the newest literature defending and explaining the gifts of the Spirit. All this and more continues the book's legacy for a new time in this audio version.
Appendixes 4 and 5, "Were There Only Three Periods of Miracles?" and "New Testament Teachings about Demons", are available in the audiobook companion PDF download.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Story
Much is said in Christian circles about knowing God. But Christians throughout the ages have agreed that there cannot be deep knowledge of God without deep knowledge of the self. Discerning your true self is inextricably related to discerning God's purposes for you. Paradoxically, the more you become like Christ, the more you become authentically yourself. In this profound exploration of Christian identity, psychologist and spiritual director David G. Benner illuminates the spirituality of self-discovery.

Story
Internationally renowned Bible teacher Derek Prince explains that any believer who is not manifesting gifts of the Spirit is living far below the level of God’s provision for his life. One of our greatest necessities in the church today is to demonstrate through the power of the Spirit that Jesus is alive and that His gospel is true. The world needs to see the manifestation of the presence of God. Believers need the ministry of the body of Christ through spiritual gifts. The Gifts of the Spirit reveals how we can fulfill both of these needs—practically and powerfully.

Story
Many seek reassurance or perceived unity by creating doctrinal statements, but that misses the point. Doctrine is necessary, but it is not the solution. In his new book Until Unity, New York Times best-selling author Francis Chan tells listeners that the real problem is shallow or even nonexistent love for each other. Although the Bible commands unity, some will resist these unifying efforts. We see it every day. We have to hate sin, love truth, and pursue unity for the church.

Are demons real? Are they red creatures with goatees holding pitchforks and sitting on people's shoulders while whispering bad things? Did a third of the angels really rebel with Satan? Are demons and "principalities and powers" just terms for the same entities, or are they different members of the kingdom of darkness? Is the world a chaotic mess because of what happened in Eden, or is there more to the story of evil? In Demons, Michael Heiser debunks popular presuppositions about the very real powers of darkness.

In his entertaining and inspiring follow-up to Love Does, Bob Goff takes listeners on a journey into the secret of living without fear, constraint, or worry. This liberated existence we all long for is as simple to say as it is difficult to do: We are called to love everybody, always – even when it’s really difficult.

Superb handbook with real life examples
As part of my healing ministry, I refer to this book often. The simple real life examples, make this a wonderful book to quote and it gives us a pathway to doing Gods work here on earth. Thank you so much for putting this book on audible.

Powerful, encouraging, and irrefutable evidence!
Jack Deere has written a powerful and encouraging treatise in defense of the continuance of God's mighty power among His people. The only way to refute it is to do so the way the Pharisees refuted the miracles of Jesus: close your eyes, put your hands over your ears, and hunker down in defiant unbelief.
Jack's book is filled with Bible, historical, and anecdotal proof that one cannot "reasonably" say God does not speak and heal today. He is gracious in his defense of this truth (far more gracious than the Pharisees who attack him!). Nonetheless, he thoroughly obliterates the lies that would turn the risen Christ, who never changes, into a semi-retired, hammock-swinging Savior who rarely acts for, through, or to His people.
Thank you, Jack! I've been a fan of yours for many, many years. Your books have helped me in my own supernatural ministry. And because of this I have been blessed to participate in many wonderful miracles, healings, and heaven-to-earth communications.

Balanced
Jack is very balanced in his approach the the supernatural. He does still come from the perspective of the institutional Church and frames everything in that light. But most of what he says can be applied to the home church, simple church or any Disciple Making movement.

Clear & Concise
The truth will set you free! The Appendices is the icing on the cake for this book. Thank you, Jack, for clearing up all the confusion and misconceptions I’ve had about Spiritual gifts...including my own. It helped so much that the author read it. His common sense approach and Scripture references remove all doubt & mysteries surrounding this hot topic in the church today. Jack has been a guest at our church in Beaumont, TX. He is the real deal! I would recommend this book to anyone who may think that Spiritual gifts are no longer needed in the church; or if you’re not sure what it all means.

Life-changing for the Cessationist
My husband has been a independent Baptist Pastor our entire marriage. Life events had brought us to start taking off our denominational goggles and re-examine scripture. Dear friends gave us the original book knowing our commonality with Jack Deere and they were convinced in my husband’s personality & mind as well. Over half way in was life-changing. Saw the rewrite available here and we have been listening every waking moment for 3 days. We are now confident in our decision for change of ministry direction completely.
Jack Deere knows all the cessationist arguments well. He so well articulates and addresses all the typical cessationist hang ups in a way that we just can not disagree with. Moving forward with this new understanding feels like a new birth and we can’t wait to see what God holds for us.
Hearing him read his own work was very endearing. He is such a great speaker to listen to and his heart for teaching comes through.
The stories are heartwarming & miraculous. I cried on several occasions as God used them to grip my heart and speak to me.
