Acts 2:17 “And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God, that I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh.” There can be no doubt that as we draw closer to the end of the age, that there has been a dramatic increase in the outpouring of God’s Spirit in the earth. The evidence is clear, for whereas Spirit filled believers throughout the earth at the start of the twentieth century, could be numbered in their thousands, Spirit filled believers in the earth at the start of the twenty first century, can now be numbered in their millions. This book is written to provide a biblical ...

One of the fundamental differences between the saints of the old covenant and the saints of the new covenant, is that we have the Holy Spirit residing on the inside of us, whereas the saints under the old covenant did not. Because of this fact, God leads His children under the new covenant, completely differently to the way that He led His servants under the old. The primary way that the Lord led the saints under the old covenant was through the office of the prophet. The reason that the saints went to the prophet for guidance, was because none of them had any access to the Holy Spirit. ...

Colossians 1:19-20 “For it pleased the Father that in Him all the fullness should dwell, (20) and by Him to reconcile all things to Himself, by Him, whether things on earth or things in heaven, having made peace through the blood of His cross.” The work of salvation that God the Father accomplished through the sacrifice of His Son Christ Jesus is far more extensive than that which is commonly taught or understood in the church. This book is written to explain just one aspect of the work of the cross, i.e. the cleansing power of the blood of Christ that cleanses mankind from all their ...

This book, the first in a series on biblical prophecy, examines the critical concept of two Israels as revealed in Scripture. Misunderstood by many scholars, this distinction is essential for accurate prophecy interpretation. Just as Jews misinterpret messianic prophecies by not distinguishing between the Messiah's two comings, recognizing the two Israels—the nation and the church—is crucial. This book clarifies that God has separate plans for each, debunking "Replacement Theology" and ensuring a correct prophetic understanding. This book explores the concept of "Israel after the flesh,...

Scripture teaches us that there are a number of key events which must take place before the second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. This book is written to elaborate on one of those key events as revealed in the book of Daniel. Daniel was given a vision of the four kingdoms that will be present on the earth when the Lord Jesus returns, and what will happen to each one. And so the subject of this book is to examine what scripture reveals to us about the first three kingdoms, and what will transpire in each one as we draw to the close of the age. Because of its uniqueness, the subject of the ...

All of us will be caught up together to meet our Lord Jesus in the air. We will at that point, leave this world and step into eternity. When we leave this planet to be with the Lord, it will take the world completely by surprise. This book looks at the two resurrections, as taught in scripture. It also looks at the chronological sequence of events leading up to both resurrections, thus enabling the saints to be aware of the times that they live in. This book also looks at the subject of physical death, and what awaits the saints when they die.

1 Peter 5:8-9 “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. (9) Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world.” All unbelievers are in Satan’s kingdom, and he holds sway over all of them to a greater or lesser degree, and so none of them pose any threat to his reign in the earth. But there is a group of people in the earth today, over which he holds no sway, because they are not in his kingdom, and that is the church of our Lord Jesus Christ. ...

Hebrews 11:16 “But now they desire a better, that is, a heavenly country. Therefore, God is not ashamed to be called their God, for He has prepared a city for them.” The New Jerusalem is the city of God. God Himself has both designed it and He has built it. And so, as God is perfect, so the city that He has built is also perfect. In the above passage of scripture, the Holy Spirit teaches us that from its foundations to its pinnacle, the builder and maker of the heavenly city, is God Himself. That same passage says that God has (past tense) prepared the city for us. In other words, even ...

Mark 4:30-32 “Then He said, "To what shall we liken the kingdom of God? Or with what parable shall we picture it? (31) It is like a mustard seed which, when it is sown on the ground, is smaller than all the seeds on earth; (32) but when it is sown, it grows up and becomes greater than all herbs, and shoots out large branches, so that the birds of the air may nest under its shade.” Our Lord Jesus, when He was on the earth, stated that the kingdom of God is within us. The parable that our Lord described above, is a picture of the kingdom of God that is in each believer. We are all born ...

God is God. And as such, ultimately His will prevails. So how do we reconcile the concept of the will of God prevailing in the affairs of mankind, while on the other hand, stating that men have a will of their own? This book reveals how God works all things according to the counsel of His will, while at the same time allowing man to have their own free will. For God does not create robots.

Psalms 45:9 “Kings' daughters are among Your honorable women; At Your right hand stands the queen in gold from Ophir.” Once the marriage of the Lamb has taken place, the church will no longer be one who is betrothed to the Lord, for she will then become the queen of heaven. The above passage of scripture describes the bride of Christ, after she has been joined to the Lord in eternal marriage. And so, we see that when our Lord Jesus finally returns to the earth to reign for one thousand years, that He will return with His bride, the church. This book reveals what the bible teaches us ...

The nine gifts of the Spirit can be consolidated into three different categories.

Our Lord Jesus used the ministry of laying on of hands. It is with the ministry of Jesus that we see, for the first time in the bible, the extensive use of this method of ministry. The laying on of hands, teaches believers how to minister the grace of God to His church and to the world. For the laying on of hands deals primarily with the gifts of the Spirit and the power of God. This book will help the believer to more fully understand the importance of this ministry and how to operate in it.

There is a category of gifts, called ministry gifts. The reason that they are called ministry gifts is because those who receive them, are called by God to the ministry, i.e. they are called to serve the church in the ministry of the gospel. God is the one who gives these gifts, and they are appointed by Him. In total, there are ten ministry gifts listed in the scriptures. There are five main gifts, which are the apostle, prophet, evangelist, pastor and teacher. The other five listed in scripture, are working of miracles, gifts of healings, helps, administrations and varieties of tongues. ...

Believers that are filled with the Holy Spirit, can expect through the use of spiritual gifts, to operate by measure, in the miraculous powers that will be freely available to us in the age to come. The Lord Jesus has given us these gifts so that we can minister His supernatural power to His church, thus edifying His church. This book teaches us how to operate in spiritual gifts.

The scripture plainly calls this doctrine the doctrine of “baptisms” – plural. There are three distinct baptisms taught in the New Testament. Just as each baptism is a separate event, so each baptism also fulfils a different role in our walk as believers. This book looks at each baptism in detail, explaining not only what each baptism is about, but also the benefits of each one. Which is why our Lord Jesus put them in place in His church.

The nine gifts of the Spirit can be consolidated into three different categories. The reason that they can be consolidated into these categories, is because each of the gifts categorized, do something similar. The first of the three categories, are what we call the revelation gifts. The reason we call them the revelation gifts, is because each one of these gifts, reveal something. The gifts that fall into this category are; the word of wisdom, the word of knowledge, and the discerning of spirits. This book looks at how each of these gifts operate.

The Lord committed to Peter, the gospel for the circumcised, and He committed to Paul, the gospel for the uncircumcised. Confusion arises when the two gospels get mixed up. Most of the confusion arises among the gentile believers, which is why the Lord Jesus specifically anointed the apostle Paul to teach His gentile believers what in the law, was acceptable for them to observe and what was not. In this book, we look at what the bible teaches us regarding these two gospels.

Scripture teaches us that there are two distinct types of sin that Christians can commit. They can commit sin not to death, and they can commit sin to death. Although all sin without exception, eventually leads to spiritual death, there is a sin that believers can commit, that will kill their spirits. Scripture differentiates this sin from every other sin, by telling us that all other sins do not kill the born-again human spirit. This book looks at the difference between the two types of sin, and specifically what is the sin to death, and how believers can be led to commit this sin.
