Length: 238 Pages Our Price:

God is raising up New Revolutionaries within His Church to bring about a New Reformation! The Leaders or Captains of these New Revolutionaries have been exposed to the greatest Shift in the work of God that has occurred in centuries. These new revolutionaries want more than revival of what is and have diligently prayed and are working for what God in His Word has promised. They seek the work of His Spirit in this generation with such magnitude that nations are changed and the tide of darkness and the stench of hell and death are cleansed from their cities and nations. These New Revolutionaries are the ones who reject the spirit of religion and passionately embrace the truth and power of God's Word to change what is by into what God desires, a reformation of every village, town and city in the nations of the earth. Our God rejecting world has been imposing their way on the earth and people of God long enough! Now is the time for The New Revolutionaries to bring about a New Reformation!!

These New Revolutionaries embrace many streams of God's work but are more interested in the work God is doing and wants to do than being a part of a particular fellowship, organization or denomination!

What is the problem? We have the power of the Holy Spirit in our lives, and yet societies are deteriorating around us. How could there be roughly two billion Christians on the face of the earth today and the major problems of sin, poverty, and disease still plague the plant? Why haven't we figured out solutions to these problems?

The church is at a crossroads - we are in a place of comfort and complacency while the Enemy is making progress - and God is calling His church to a radical change. Revival is no longer enough; we need to reform our nations as well in order to answer the true purpose of the Great Commission. Either the church will respond to God's call, or there will be rapid deterioration.

The prayer movement has been laying the ground for change for many years, and now is the time for believers to step out in faith and be transformed into reformers. This movement of God in the church is as important as Martin Luther's call for reformation was, waking up the sleeping church to hear the voice of God and seeing lives, churches, and even nations changed.
Cindy Jacobs gives a visionary, prophetic call to the church that must be understood and answered.

Miracle Workers, Reformers, and the New Mystics

I have always looked for the out working or manifestation of God and His power among people. I spent the first 20 years of my life looking in all the wrong places and then Jesus rescued me from my own searching and transferred me out of the kingdom of darkness and transferred me into the Kingdom of light! Colossians 1:9-14.

Throughout church history God has used a wide variety of people to work among people in miraculous ways. He demonstrates His majesty among us in every generation. The people He uses are not the one we would have picked. Their methods and teachings do not always satisfy us, but one thing they do that we all long for is that they allow themselves to be vessel of His glory, power and mercy to whosoever will say yes to God.

They seem often to operate with reckless abandonment and in the process manage to offend our sense of how, when and through whom God should operate. We should all remember the story of Balaam's donkey in Nu 22:21-35 before we get upset at whom God is using.

I want to recommend that you buy and read this book. Talk about it with other believers in and followers of Jesus the Messiah. May it stir within you and them the hunger for all that God has for you and this generation, so that you cry out even as the prophet Isaiah did in Chapter 6:1-8 of Isaiah, when he was in the temple and the Lord revealed Himself to him , ‘Here I am Lord, send me!’

The book Miracle Workers, Reformers, and the New Mystics
By John Crowder, published by Publisher: Treasures Media Inc. Covers 70 such people whom God used and stirred the hunger in those around them for all that God has for each generation.

Book Overview
Every era has produced extreme spiritual forerunners who have accessed the atmosphere of heaven, demonstrating miracles, signs, wonders and supernatural experiences in their lives. Beginning with the first century apostles, the extraordinary report of God’s kingdom has passed like a baton to the early Desert Fathers, the Christian mystics of the Dark Ages, right up through the healing revivalists and prophetic voices of the past century.

But God has reserved the greatest wave of his Spirit for a radical, postmodern generation that will walk the earth in these last days. The stories of long-forgotten saints are an arsenal for this hour. Fiery men with divine encounters and heavenly visitations. Their individual lives serve as a blueprint for an entire company of warriors who will wear those same ancient power mantles, perform the same bizarre feats and achieve even greater exploits to bring in the end-time harvest of souls.

What will be the characteristics of this new generation of mystics? In this timely work, John Crowder offers a fresh perspective on the miracle workers and visionaries of the past, linking their spiritual DNA to the breed of dread champions that is now picking up that baton.
Who are the New Mystics? They are Joel’s Army. Jacob’s Generation. The Spotless Bride. The Overcoming Church.

The emerging church is throwing off the grave clothes of religion and picking up a dynamic interface with the spiritual realm. Their hearts are aflame with a burning desire for Jesus Christ. And they will not just talk about Him. They will display His power.

The New Mystics contains more than 70 photos, illustrations and biographies of men and women whose lives have demonstrated the phenomenal throughout the ages. Let their stories inspire you to join their ranks as part of this coming revival generation.

The full text of the Bible verses refered to above are listed below.

Col 1:9-14
9 For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you and asking God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all spiritual wisdom and understanding. 10 And we pray this in order that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and may please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, 11 being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience, and joyfully 12 giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in the kingdom of light. 13 For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, 14 in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. NIV

Nu 22:21-3521 Balaam got up in the morning, saddled his donkey and went with the princes of Moab. 22 But God was very angry when he went, and the angel of the LORD stood in the road to oppose him. Balaam was riding on his donkey , and his two servants were with him. 23 When the donkey saw the angel of the LORD standing in the road with a drawn sword in his hand, she turned off the road into a field. Balaam beat her to get her back on the road. 24 Then the angel of the LORD stood in a narrow path between two vineyards, with walls on both sides. 25 When the donkey saw the angel of the LORD, she pressed close to the wall, crushing Balaam's foot against it. So he beat her again. 26 Then the angel of the LORD moved on ahead and stood in a narrow place where there was no room to turn, either to the right or to the left. 27 When the donkey saw the angel of the LORD, she lay down under Balaam, and he was angry and beat her with his staff. 28 Then the LORD opened the donkey's mouth, and she said to Balaam, "What have I done to you to make you beat me these three times?" 29 Balaam answered the donkey , "You have made a fool of me! If I had a sword in my hand, I would kill you right now." 30 The donkey said to Balaam, "Am I not your own donkey , which you have always ridden, to this day? Have I been in the habit of doing this to you?""No," he said. 31 Then the LORD opened Balaam's eyes, and he saw the angel of the LORD standing in the road with his sword drawn. So he bowed low and fell facedown. 32 The angel of the LORD asked him, "Why have you beaten your donkey these three times? I have come here to oppose you because your path is a reckless one before me. 33 The donkey saw me and turned away from me these three times. If she had not turned away, I would certainly have killed you by now, but I would have spared her." 34 Balaam said to the angel of the LORD, "I have sinned. I did not realize you were standing in the road to oppose me. Now if you are displeased, I will go back." 35 The angel of the LORD said to Balaam, "Go with the men, but speak only what I tell you." So Balaam went with the princes of Balak. NIV

Isa 6:1-8
6:1 In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord seated on a throne, high and exalted, and the train of his robe filled the temple. 2 Above him were seraphs, each with six wings: With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they were flying. 3 And they were calling to one another:
"Holy, holy, holy is the LORD Almighty;the whole earth is full of his glory."
4 At the sound of their voices the doorposts and thresholds shook and the temple was filled with smoke.
5 "Woe to me!" I cried. "I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips, and my eyes have seen the King, the LORD Almighty."
6 Then one of the seraphs flew to me with a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with tongs from the altar. 7 With it he touched my mouth and said, "See, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away and your sin atoned for."
8 Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, "Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?"
And I said, "Here am I. Send me!" NIV

PAGAN CHRISTIANITY

Every once in a while I find books that really challenge my thinking. The book below is certainly doing it. You will run to the Word of God repeatedly as you read this book, as Acts 17:11 tells us to.

The Material below is from George Barna's web site with a link at the bottom of the page.

Have you ever wondered why we Christians do what we do for church every Sunday morning? Why do we "dress up" for church? Why does the pastor preach a sermon each week? Why do we have pews, steeples, choirs, and seminaries?

This volume reveals the startling truth: most of what Christians do in present-day churches is not rooted in the New Testament, but in pagan culture and rituals developed long after the death of the apostles. Coauthors Frank Viola and George Barna support their thesis with compelling historical evidence in the first-ever book to document the full story of modern Christian church practices.

Are we really doing church "by the Book?"
Why does the pastor preach a sermon at every service?

Why do our church services seem so similar week after week?

Why does the congregation sit passively in pews?

Not sure? Pagan Christianity makes an unsettling proposal: Most of what present-day Christians do in church each Sunday is rooted not in the New Testament, but in pagan culture and rituals developed long after the death of the apostles. Authors Frank Viola and George Barna support their thesis with compelling historical evidence and extensive footnotes that document the origins of our modern Christian church practices.

In the process, the authors uncover the problems that emerge when the church functions like a business organization rather than the living organism it was created to be. As you reconsider Christ's revolutionary plan for His church - to be the head of a fully functioning body in which all believers play an active role - you’ll be challenged to decide whether you can ever do church the same way again.

One of the surprise bestsellers of the year has been Pagan Christianity: Exposing the Roots of Our Church Practices by George Barna and Frank Viola. In this well-researched study you will find out why churches do what they do, including aspects such as clothing, preaching, worship habits, staffing, buildings, seminary training, and more. Surprisingly few of today’s church practices are drawn from the Bible. http://www.barna.org/FlexPage.aspx?Page=Resource&ResourceID=309

The Remnant: Restoring Integrity in American Ministry

The Remnant: Restoring Integrity in American Ministry
by Larry Stockstill

No greater message is needed in todays Churches and to God's leaders than this one.The material below is from the publisher's web site.

God is issuing a call to bring integrity back to American Christianity. The foundational truths in this book will show the way. In this book, Larry Stockstill challenges readers with principles for turning our nation around to integrity and commitment and precluding the judgment of God. There is a new breed of pastors and laypeople who are asking the tough questions: * Where has the glory of God gone in the American church? * When did the simple, pure gospel of the Savior become about "me," "my," and "mine"? * What happened to the transparency and integrity that marked the church for centuries?

To each reader, God is saying, "I want to start with you." Allow this book to shake you to the core and reorganize your family, your ministry, and your future.
