There is a curtain on the invisible world. Yet, there are times when God raises the curtain and we are permitted to see beyond the veil into the spiritual world. What is beyond is marvelous. Angels are all around us, and they are standing ready to fight our spiritual battles for us. All we need to do to activate them is to pray. When we pray, God mobilizes the angelic forces, and suddenly the battle is no longer ours. The battle is the Lord’s. In this little book, Jamie Buckingham tells of the importance of prayer in his life. He then relates the story of the prophet Elisha and how, when ...

We live in a culture that has set a very high standard for beauty. But what if you are not beautiful? What if you are short, wear thick glasses, or don’t fit into designer jeans? What if everyone around you turns the other way when you walk by? What if you are plain — or just plain ugly? Meet Leah, a woman in the Bible who had to deal with more than being unattractive — she also had to contend with her beautiful sister. And to make matters worse, both sisters were married to the same man! How does God see us? Is He concerned with our outward appearance? Or does He only look at who we ...

Jamie speaks openly about a serious issue he had with one of his pastors and how it affected the entire church, especially the fellowship of the church. Then he goes on to discuss three key terms often mentioned in the Bible but which have inadequate translations in today’s English. As a result, we fail to fully comprehend what the words, grace, love and fellowship truly mean. He explains in detail these three words and begins to place context around them in a New Testament light. He states that these words above all others, need to be reintroduced to the church with their real meanings, ...

In this book taken from a series of five sermons, Jamie Buckingham describes the process a Christian must go through to move forward in the Holy Spirit and lay hold of all the promises of God. “Get ready to cross the Jordan River into the land I am about to give you, and I will give you every place where you set your foot,” God told the children of Israel as they approached the Promised Land. Like the Israelites, Jamie explains, we have promises from God.

What is it really like to be inside the Kingdom of God? Is everyone just lounging around all day, leisurely chatting? No hard work, all relaxation? What Jamie Buckingham describes in this booklet is probably far different from your own vision of what being in God's Kingdom is really all about or should be all about. Jamie answers the question so many Christians posed to him in the course of his ministry: "If we have inherited the Promised Land, then why am I constantly back here in the wilderness?" In other words, why is my life still so hard even though I have been a follower of Christ for...

There is a lot of shaking going on in the body of Christ. It is a deep shaking that may feel like our roots are being pulling out. The shaking of God comes in the form of crisis, or hurt, or some other form of physical or emotional pain. If that is happening to you, ask yourself this question: Who is doing the shaking? Is it God or is it Satan attacking? Remember, as a Christian, even if it is the Devil, God controls the work of Satan as it affects the lives of His followers. If you are a child of God and have committed yourself to the Lord then you are under His control and His protection....

If we want God to answer our prayers in a specific way, we need to ask Him specifically for what we desire. God blesses specific prayers! In this teaching, Jamie Buckingham shares the Old Testament story of Hannah, a barren woman who prayed fervently for a child--and not just a child, but specifically, a son. God blessed her specific prayer with the birth of Samuel, who she dedicated back to the service of the Lord. From Hannah's example and examples in his own life, Jamie draws several conclusions about specific prayer, including: God knows when the prayer you say with your lips actually ...

Each chapter in this book lends itself to the spiritual growth of the believer. We are to be aware of the very likely possibility that we will encounter false teachers and how to discern and deal with them. We are to be diligent and avoid deceptive teachings and avoid the wiles of Satan as he continually attempts to tempt us, to draw us away from our loving heavenly father. As you listen to this book, my prayer is you will hear from the heart of God as he continues to reach out and speak to his beloved church, his people, his called-out ones, as we rapidly approach the return of the king.

This book is the precursor to Jamie's bestselling book, Risky Living. It is taken directly from three sermons given to the church he pastored, the Tabernacle Church in Melbourne, Florida, during the period he was writing Risky Living and teaching the church about what walking in the Spirit really means. As Jamie explains, we tend to respond to events in our lives based on the past hurts, experiences and traumas that make up our subconscious. Our life is like a deep mountain lake. On the surface all seems tranquil, while beneath the surface is a boiling cauldron of stress and pain and ...

Soon after Jamie Buckingham was diagnosed with inoperable cancer, he went to see his 92-year-old mother who was in a nursing home. He told her, “I am committed to seeking God at every intersection that is ahead of me.” But her reply stunned him. “No, son. You can’t do that,” she said, “because you are walking in a land that has no paths. There are no intersections because where you are going there are no trails. You’re entering a land that has no paths. Instead, you must seek God at every step. Don’t wait for the times of decision, but seek him with every step you take.” ...

Daniel was a man of great patience. When faced with persecution, hardship, and temptation, he refused to take the easy way out. Instead, he remained faithful to God and waited patiently for God to rescue him in His own time and in His own way. In this teaching, Jamie Buckingham uses Daniel's example, as well as trials and lessons from his own life, to encourage us to be faithful and to have patience in difficult times. God delivered Daniel from the lion's den. He will deliver us too. Are you patient? Will you allow God to do His work in you in His timing? Remember, God is never in a hurry. ...

This is the Spanish translation of Jamie Buckingham's popular book, Power for Living. Dios te ama. Y si lo dejas, no solo dirigirá tu camino, sino que te dará poder para vivir. De eso se trata este libro: Poder para vivir. Que Dios te dé poder, no solo para vivir, sino para vivir abundantemente. El profeta Isaías lo dijo mejor: "Los que esperan en el Señor renovarán su fuerza. Se elevarán sobre alas como águilas; correrán y no se cansarán, caminarán y no se desmayarán" (Isaías 40:31).

Jamie describes the four basic drives, or motivators, in our lives. They are the drives for security, for recognition, to love and be loved, and the drive for adventure. Then he adds a fifth one, the need to be creative. These are inside us all, and they have been since before we were born. They are neither moral nor immoral. But so much depends on how we use them, how we engage with them. Our life in Christ is largely marked by these drives, and the controls, or delimiters, we place on them.

Did you know that no matter where you go or what you are doing, your shadow is falling on someone, and that person is being changed? You may not realize it, but when you’re a Christian, God is always working through you to touch the people around you. In ways you may never know, He is using your obedience to build His kingdom. Acts 5:15 tells us, “People brought the sick into the streets and laid them on beds and mats so that at least Peter’s shadow might fall on some of them as they passed by.” Peter couldn’t see it, but while he was walking—face forward, eyes on Jesus—the ...
