Every person is born into this earth with a conscience. Paul lived his entire life striving to maintain a good conscience before God and men. As believers, we need to imitate Paul in this. This book helps the believer to understand what their conscience is and how to maintain a good conscience.

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.

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. ...

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 second of the three categories, are what we call the power gifts. The reason we call them the power gifts, is because each one of these gifts, do something. The gifts that fall into this category are; the gift of special faith, gifts of healings, and the working of miracles. This book looks at how each of these gifts operate.

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. ...

This book is written to explain what the bible teaches about the anti-Christ and his government. The apostle John is the one who specifically named this individual the “anti-Christ”. Nevertheless the anti-Christ also has various other titles ascribed to him, i.e. the apostle John also refers to him as the beast and the apostle Paul refers to him as the man of sin, the son of perdition and the lawless one. So who is the anti-Christ? The bible reveals to us a very different person to most narratives about him that are in the public domain. In the book of Revelation John reveals to us that...

Matthew 24:4 “And Jesus answered and said to them: "Take heed that no one deceives you.” The above scripture, records the opening statement made by our Lord Jesus, when He taught us on the subject, of the end times. It is important to note, that there is only area recorded in the bible, that the Lord warned us not to be deceived about, and that is the subject of the end times. The reason that our Lord warns us in this area, is because this is the one area, where the saints can more easily, be deceived. And I want you to also note, that the Lord places the onus on His saints, to ensure ...

When every person leaves this planet we all go to one of two places. We either go to heaven or we go to hell. Those who have accepted Christ Jesus as Lord and Saviour go to heaven and those who have not accepted Jesus as Lord go to hell. There is more to it than that though. For there is an eternal judgement that all have to still incur. The believers have to stand before Jesus Christ to give an account for their lives and the unbelievers have to stand before the saints to give an account for their lives. Both judgement's are eternal. This book reveals what the word of God teaches us ...

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. 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.

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 ...

2 Corinthians 8:9 “For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that you through His poverty might become rich.” There is much controversy in the church today, about the “prosperity gospel”. There are those who promote it to the extreme, and there are those who are against it in its entirety. Each side tends to accuse the other, of teaching error. As with most doctrines in the bible, where there are two opposing views taught, invariably the truth of God’s word, is found somewhere in the middle. This book examines just...

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 third of the three categories, are what we call the speaking gifts. The reason we call them the speaking gifts, is because each one of these gifts, say something. The gifts that fall into this category are; prophecy, different kinds of tongues, and the interpretation of tongues. This book looks at how each of these gifts operate.

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. ...

Jesus was referring to the physical temple in Jerusalem, when He quoted the prophet Isaiah, 'My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations'. As our Lord predicted, that physical temple in Jerusalem was destroyed in the year seventy AD. When Jesus was crucified on the cross, the veil in that temple was torn in two, and God no longer dwells in a temple made with human hands. Under the new covenant, all believers in Christ have now become the temple of the living God. In the current church age, the temple of God on earth has changed, but the purpose of that temple has not. All ...

In the gospels, there is a passage of scripture where we see how close to Jesus heart, little children are. For the scripture says that He was “greatly displeased”, when He found out that the disciples were trying to keep the little children from coming to Him. I can imagine that the disciples learnt very quickly not to transgress in this area again. So just why was Jesus so protective over small children? Jesus answers that question Himself, when He plainly tells us that, “of such is the kingdom of God”. Jesus stated that children were of the kingdom of God, because He knew that ...

All through our lives up until the time we are born-again, our minds have been trained to think in a certain way. The bible calls it carnal thinking. That thinking is in direct opposition to God’s laws. Once we are born-again God expects us to discard our carnal thinking, and begin to set our minds on the things of the spirit. This book explains how to renew your mind.

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.

We are spirit beings, and unless we walk in the reality of that fact, we will never experience the fullness in this life, of that which our Lord Jesus has for us. As believers, we are instructed by the Lord to walk in the spirit. This book will help the believer to more fully understand what their spirit is, and how to develop their spirit.

As far as our walk as believers is concerned, God has decreed that we are to live by faith. Because under the New Covenant we are to live by faith, it is essential that we understand just how faith works. This book will help believers to more fully understand just how to walk by faith so that they can appropriate all that God has given us in this life.
