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. ...

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 ...

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.

Revelation 8:1-2 “When He opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour. (2) And I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and to them were given seven trumpets.” It is when our Lord Jesus opens the seventh seal of the scroll, that the wrath of God will begin to be poured out on the earth. Just prior to this event, the rapture of the church will have taken place. When the event of the rapture takes place, the inhabitants of the earth will be continuing with their daily lives completely unaware of the devastation that it about to come upon them. This book...

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.

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. ...

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.

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.

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

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.

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. ...

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 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...

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...

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 ...
