Smith Wigglesworth was a man who did not know the word fear. He moved in Divine Boldness bringing Salvation, Healing, Miracles, and Deliverance where ever he went! Some of his quotes: “Faith is the audacity that rejoices in the fact that God cannot break His own Word!”-- "Faith is such a divine establishment of COURAGE in you that COURAGE sweeps you through every condition: You cannot come into the divine order, except on the line of being soaked in the word of God." -- BOLDLY DARE to Believe, then BOLDLY DARE to speak, and you shall have whatsoever you say. -- If you BOLDLY DARE to ...

This book is based on Smith Wigglesworth's Experiences with this Important Subject! Here is a small portion of the Amazing truths in this book."So I implore you to see that there is LOWLINESS, a HUMBLENESS that leads you to MEEKNESS that leads you to separate yourself from the world that puts you so in touch with the Master that you know you are touching God""Before God could bring me to this place He has BROKEN me a thousand times. I have wept, I have groaned, I have travailed many a night until God BROKE me. It seems to me that until God has mowed you down you never can have this ...

As Christians, we long for a spiritually fruitful life. However, our attempts to work more and hustle harder only leave us feeling weary and worn. Thankfully, God's word supplies the nourishment we so desperately need. As we abide in Jesus, he fills our emptiness with an abundant crop of spiritual fruit.

Like a physician running a biopsy on lifeless faith, here A. W. Tozer offers one of the most compelling critiques of feigned spirituality you may ever listen to. In Of God and Men, Tozer exposes false religious notions and lifts up true New Testament Christianity. A loving and gentle critique of culture and even the church, it reveals lies we unknowingly believe, godless practices we unknowingly do, and treasures of Christ we unknowingly ignore.

The market is flooded with books, conferences, and workshops on how to be a better leader. In most companies, leaders are noticed and applauded while followers are often viewed as weak and passive. However, Scripture tells us a different story; although leadership is valued and respected, being obedient followers of Christ is at the very heart of faith. In The Call to Follow, Richard Langer and Joanne J. Jung teach listeners that "followership" is essential to both organizational and spiritual flourishing.

The search for power is as old as time itself. Man's use and abuse of power is chronicled in our history books, enshrined in our monuments, and glamorized in our legends. We have power lunches, power naps, and power bars: but even in this energized environment, true power often eludes us. Secret Sources of Power will take you down a road less traveled. You will discover that the way up is down; to lay hold you must let go; to be filled you must become empty. It isn't the easy way...but if you want a power that doesn't rise and fall with circumstance and whim, it is the only way!

Michelle Sanchez has discovered through her own journey that it’s impossible to separate racial discipleship from our relationship with God.

Whenever we choose to courageously resist racism, we will discover new opportunities to encounter Christ in fresh and exciting ways. Color-Courageous Discipleship is our guidebook to a deeper connection with God through the adventure of racial discipleship.

In today's Church, we see the world beginning to filter in as people bend to the pressures of this life. But in the Scriptures, Jesus calls us to do something radical—to come and die. As we die to our flesh, we will live with the eternal reward found only in Him. But what does that kind of death look like? In Come and Die, Pastor Joshua West explores the Scriptures and extrapolates verses to show just what Christ means when He tells His followers to "take up your cross and follow Me". Are you brave enough to accept His call, or will you continue to live this shallow life?

At one time or another, most Christians struggle with depression, discouragement, or despondency. When this happens, spiritual joy is the great need. William Farley has written a practical book to help flawed human beings discover and implement the secret to spiritual joy. The author contends that the gospel is the key to a life overflowing with joy. That is because a right understanding of the gospel produces the humility that motivates a life of continual thanksgiving.

The world is fractured. Tensions are high, patience is low, and goodwill is hard to come by. In The Genius of One, author and pastor Greg Holder reminds us of the high value Jesus and his early followers placed on community and offers guidance for how to see and relate to one another in emotionally and spiritually healthy ways so that we, the church, can fulfill Jesus' prayer for us and model a better way of loving one another in a fractured world.

"True Christianity is a fight," wrote J. C. Ryle in 1877. He argued that from the day of their conversion until the day they die, Christians are called to be soldiers for Christ in a war for their holiness. This inspiring call to action written more than 100 years ago continues to be a source of great encouragement and inspiration for believers today.

In a culture that views absolute truth as a fixture of the past, it is necessary to have a deeper explanation of the hope available to us in Jesus. If this explanation is indeed plausible and the Bible is true, then the implications for how we live are nothing short of profound!

"Follow me." Jesus's clear call in the first century changed lives and impacted society. Jesus is still calling people to follow Him today. Lives and communities continue to feel this influence and benefit from the difference Jesus makes both in and through His disciples. But what does it mean to follow Jesus?

Paul’s letter to the Philippians is rich with wisdom and direction for our time. We learn so much in its few pages about the purpose of Christian suffering. We see God’s hand pulling all the levers and strings behind the scenes, sovereignly directing all that befalls His people. And we see the glorious results as the gospel is more widely preached. Paul writes the epistle from prison in Rome, while he waits to see if he will be executed or set free. We see in the letter many of the real-life difficulties that believers face in the battles for humility, righteousness and obedience. The ...

There are two different categories of believers: those who believe, and those who put their beliefs into action. Which would you be considered? Do you see yourself as a solider for God—fighting for the abundant life that’s available to you and those around you? Are you someone who uses the Holy Spirit to defeat every attack that Satan throws your way? As long as we are on this earth, we are living amidst a continuous spiritual battle between good and evil.

We live in a world of options, where we might do this or that if we feel like it. But for followers of Jesus, certain things are not optional, but necessary. Bishop Claude Alexander unpacks the Gospels' statements of what Jesus said he must do. He must be about his Father's business. He must go through Samaria. He must go to Jerusalem. Life in God is less about what you could do, and more about what you must do. Contrary to the life of the optional, accidental, and haphazard, the believer is called to live with a sense of divine necessity. No maybes about it.
