Surprised by healing

Book recommendation
Surprised by healing
by Delores Winder with Bill Keith

"One of the 
Greatest Healing Miracles 
of the 20th Century"
---Sid Roth

---------------------------------------------------------------

(Information from the back cover)

"I have Passionately investigated
miracles for 30 years.
Without a doubt. Delores Winder received
one of the Greatest verified healing
miracles of the 20th century.
---Sid Roth

---------------------------------------------------------------


We are entering a time in history when the average Christian will move in supernatural power, fulfilling Jesus' words: 
"the works I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do" (John 14:12)
Get ready for the greater works!

As you read about this amazing healing of  Delores Winder, the Holy Spirit will bubble up inside of you to become a normal Christian.

Many will receive healing because of the power of this testimony as the miracle healing anointing literally splashes off the pages.

..."Not by might nor by power, but by 
My Spirit,"
says the Lord Almighty 
(Zechariah 4:6).

In 1975 Delores Winder attended a conference on the Holy Spirit in Dallas, Texas, where Kathryn Kuhlman was speaking.

Never having seen a miraculous healing take place and believing that supernatural healing ended with the apostles,

Delores was not praying for a physical miracle that night, although she was suffering a grave illness.

However, because God "is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think," 

Delores was transformed from hopelessness to wholeness, set free from a fatal disease.

That night Delores felt the very presence of the living God surrounding her.

God is no respecter of persons, and what He did for Delores, He will do for you.

God is with you always -- there is nothing impossible with Him!

--------------------------------------------------------------

Delores Winder, and her husband, Bill, teach and demonstrate healing.

They work through the Fellowship Foundation, Inc. and live in Shreveport, Louisiana.

The Incomplete Church

Book recommendation
The Incomplete Church by Sid Roth

Bridging the Gap Between God's Children

(Information from the back cover)

The Body of the Messiah is 
complete only when 
Jews and Christians
Converge


Christianity today is very different from the original - the
  • Miracles,
  • Healings,
  • Power, and
  • Intimacy with God -
we have to examine our Jewish roots.
For 2,000 years, there has been a separation between Judaism and Christianity resulting in a lack miracle power and intimacy with God.

The Incomplete Church explores what was stolen by the deceiver in both religions and reveals what will happen when the truth in both converges.

"And whenever the double  [Jew and Christian] river shall go, every living creature which swarms shall live. And there shall be a very great number of fish [revival]..."(Ezechiel 47:9).

What is at stake in this convergence of Jew and Gentile? The salvation of the world. Jesus summarized God's winning strategy  in that, "they all [Jew and Gentile] may be one...that the world may believe..." (John 17:21).

Together, Christians and Jews complete the Body of Messiah.


SID ROTH has a passion for people to experience the power of God for the purpose of having intimacy with Him. He has spent 35 years as a pioneer in
  • Jewish evangelism,
  • Planting Jewish Messianic congregations and
  • investigating the supernatural.
His television program, "It's Supernatural" documents miracles and is viewed internationally. He is now pioneering the next move of God called "One New Man."

Step Three: How to "Do It." A Guide to Application.


Within each step, McDowell guides you through the use of

Concentration camps and one of the most

12 Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you.

13 And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.

14 And I will be found of you, saith the Lord: and I will turn away your captivity, and I will gather you from all the nations, and from all the places whither I have driven you, saith the Lord; and I will bring you again into the place whence I caused you to be carried away captive.
KJV

To the Israelites living in captivity in Babylon, It seemed like God had forgotten. They had been defeated in battle and taken hundreds of miles away to live in a heathen nation.

Their prayers for deliverance and help had not been unanswered. Then God gave Jeremiah a word of prophecy...He had a plan for them ... and He has  a plan for your life as well.


No matter how bad things are that you've experienced in your life, God is still at work. And nothing can ever separate you from His love or keep His is purposes from being fulfilled.

In this powerful message, Messianic Rabbi Jonathan Bernis unlocks the secrets of the Hebrew language to help you understand the depth and the power of God's promise for your future.

Rejoice in complete confidence in His love for you and the goodness of purpose in your life.

--Ruth Graham, author of A Legacy of Love and  Legacy of Faith

"Phenomenal!" Steve Scott has 'cracked' the Solomon Code.  He takes the inspired wisdom of Solomon and transforms it into simple yet powerful steps we can take to solve any problem and achieve true filament and extraordinary success, at home and at work.

9 Now, O Lord God, let thy promise unto David my father be established: for thou hast made me king over a people like the dust of the earth in multitude.

10 Give me now wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people: for who can judge this thy people, that is so great?

11 And God said to Solomon, Because this was in thine heart, and thou hast not asked riches, wealth, or honour, nor the life of thine enemies, neither yet hast asked long life; but hast asked wisdom and knowledge for thyself, that thou mayest judge my people, over whom I have made thee king:

12 Wisdom and knowledge is granted unto thee; and I will give thee riches, and wealth, and honour, such as none of the kings have had that have been before thee, neither shall there any after thee have the like.

(Information from the back cover)

"My sincere hope is that  
This book is the closest you will ever come to experiencing hell for yourself."


Bill Wiese saw the searing flames of hell,felt total isolation, and experienced the putrid and rotting stench, deafening screams of agony,terrorizing demons,and finally, the strong hand of God lifting  him out of the pit.

"Tell them I am coming very, very soon!"

Wiese's visit to the devils lair lasted just 23 minutes, but he returned with vivid details etched in his memory. Since this life-changing ordeal, he has spent the last seven years studying the Scriptures to find answers and has listed more than 150 Bible versus referencing hell.

Everyone is curious about the after life, and now Wiese shares his insights to commonly asked questions such as:
  • Is hell a literal burning place?
  • Where is hell?
  • Do you have a body in hell?
  • Are there degrees of punishment in hell?
  • Are there children in hell?
  • Can demons torment people in hell?
  • Can "good" people go to hell?

"Even if you don't believe my story, I hope you will believe the Scriptures and avoid hell  just the same."

Bill Wiese has been a dedicated Christian and has served in various capacities, including teaching and leading worship since the 1970. He has appeared on several television and radio shows and is an accomplished speaker.

    When All Plans Fail

    Book and workbook recommendation
    When All Plans Fail by Paul L.Williams, MD 

    Be Ready for Disasters



    (Information from the back cover of the workbook).

    Disasters are becoming more frequent in the U.S. and around the globe.
    Ask yourself... "Am I Prepared?"

    Written by a leading expert in global disaster relief, this hope-filled book offers a practical, step by step, 21 day plan that will help  prepare you and your loved ones for disasters.


    About the Author:

    Paul R. Williams received his M.D. from Washington University School of Medicine., St. Louis, Missouri.

    He was, for 15 years, on the facility of the University of South Florida College of Medicine.
    In 1997 he founded International HealthCare Network.
    His more than 200 medical mission trips include relief efforts in Bangladesh, Indonesia, the continent of Africa and other nations.



    (From inside the book, When All Plans Fail.)

    What others have said about 
    Dr. Paul Williams and When All Plans Fail.

    " Dr. Paul Williams is one of the finest medical missionaries today.
    We have worked side by side many times in Latin America and in Africa where the needs are overwhelming.

    He is a tireless and compassionate servant who knows how to minister the love of God through medicine and I am proud to call him a brother and friend!"

     Paul Wilbur 
    Artist, Integrity Music


    Dr. Paul Williams is uniquely qualified to write a book on disaster preparedness.

    He has organized and led medical teams, including teams from our own In His Image International,
    in a number of  major world disasters since the early 1990's.

    • From the refugee camps created by the Rwandan Civil War 
    • to hurricane-ravaged Central America 
    • to tsunami devastation and 
    • earthquakes around the world, 
    he has been there.  

    Leading these teams into these areas of desperate need and destruction makes him practically experienced so that his recommendations on preparedness ring out as someone who has "been there, done that."

    And Dr. Williams in print is like Dr. Williams as a real-life team leader, a man who cares to give God's very best."

    John R. Crouch Jr., M.D.
    President, In His Image International


    " I have known  Paul Williams for over 40 years.
    He is a man with a heart for missions and people. It has been impressive to observe his vision as a medical missionary.

    His experience in over 100 nations with disaster relief work makes him well qualified to speak on the very important and relevant subject of disaster preparedness."

    Admiral Vernon E. Clark
    USN (Ret.), Chief of Naval Operations (CNO)

    A Rabbi Looks at Jesus of Nazareth

    Book recommendation
    A Rabbi Looks at Jesus of Nazareth by Rabbi Jonathan Bernis 

    What happens when a Jewish man takes a serious  look at the life and works of the Man who claimed to be the Messiah?


    (From the back cover of the book A Rabbi Looks at Jesus of Nazareth)


    Raised in a traditional Jewish family, international television host Jonathan Bernis was taught from a young age that "Jews don't - and can't - believe in Jesus." 
    Yet in his study of the Scriptures, including the Torah, he found overwhelming evidence that Jesus of Nazareth really is the Jewish Messiah.


    • What do the prophets say about Jesus?
    • How did Jewish Yeshua become Gentile Jesus?
    • Is the New Testament anti-Semitic?
    • Whatever happened to Judaism?

    If you are a Jewish person seeking the truth about who Jesus really was and is, Bernis offers you loving evidence that counters common Jewish objections-and reveals a very different picture of Jesus than you may have been taught growing up.

    If you are a Christian  with Jewish friends, Bernis will equip you with the tools and knowledge to gently share your faith in an informed manner.

    You will be challenged by what you read, 
    but you may be even more surprised
    by what you discover.

    Answers and Hope for the Struggling Christians

    Book recommendation
    Answers and Hope for the Struggling Christians by Henry Warkentin

    Ignoring the devil's tactics is courting defeat.


    (Some information from the back cover of the book)

    Are you being Robbed?

    • Are you often discouraged?
    • Are you defeated repeatedly in the same area?
    • Do you want to know the truths that will set you free?
    • Do you want to experience Christs life through your daily living?

    In the garden of Eden, Eve was robbed of God's fellowship and blessing
    when she lost sight of God's truth and
    fell victim to Satan's strategy .

    You may be experiencing such a robbery today!

    Answers and Hope for the Struggling Christians
    will help you to navigate through life's struggles
    by bringing
    God's freeing truths into focus,
    guiding you into consistent and joyful Christian living.
