This book will inspire, challenge, and empower you to live your life more completely for God! No formulas??Ten Steps to This,? ?Three Ways to That??just unrefined insights and?simple reflections from the author?s most recent 40-Day Fast. Why fast? First of all, it?s biblical and it?s assumed by the Lord to be something that his followers will do: ?But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face; That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly??(Matthew 6:17-18). Why forty days? Well, to emulate Jesus, and Moses, and Elijah. As you peruse these pages, you will see that one value of the longer fast is the depth and breadth of the subject matter that the Lord can bring to mind, given the opportunity to be heard above the noise of everyday life. Fasting is a rarely employed spiritual discipline, which can bring cleansing of body and clarity of mind. It?s almost as if God were saying, ?Now that I have your undivided attention, let?s consider what it means to have clean hands and a pure heart. Let?s
There is a level of faith that causes the dead to live. The Bible says it's elementary. This is a Chapter that we all need in the Church. I have been given divine revelations from the Holy Spirit and I believe we will see many resurrections in America and across the world. Have you been in the place where just when you have victory, under your belt, the phone rings? Lazarus is dead. All hope that you had for your circumstance is dead. And God says, "I am glad. " Because it is not dead, it is sleeping. And if it is sleeping, I go that I may wake it up.
This is a book that God has laid on my heart for some time now. I believe that both men and women have first hand dealt with a spirit call Jezebel. I'm talking about more than just a distant spirit in the Church but actually married to this fowl spirit. This is a true story of my personal life. I really was married to a woman with a Jezebel spirit. I will tell you the story but will omit the names of people because we don't deal with flesh and blood but Principalities and Powers of wickedness in high places. I will start out this book with a chapter that gives some scriptural basis on the spirit of Jezebel and characteristics of this spirit. Then I will write the story referring too many if not all of the characteristics of the Jezebel spirit. I know some people will really get stirred and lash out at me but until you walk a mile in my shoes who are you to judge. This book will be controversial and if you know me at all I thrive in controversy.

In this book, I have comprised many thoughts, feelings, and struggles of many people dedicated to the Christian faith. I've used moments of my life as well as moments of the lives of others to really drive the message that 'Nobody's perfect, and we all need one another. Often times, as I travel in the ministry, I notice that many people are afraid to voice their pains, voice their issues, and voice their brokenness. I really wish to clarify that it's through our brokenness that the love of Jesus really begins to shape and mold us into His image and likeness. We can't come to God with everything all together. We have to be humble enough to come to Him and allow Him to put us back together. I hope that someone is encouraged to love a little harder, have faith a little longer, and to hope without end.
