This Declaration of Dependence is . . .
A radical solution to these radical times; the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony in bold action. Mature. Strong. Controversial. Governmental not political. Uncomfortable. Where has conform gotten us? Politically incorrect. We have been pursuing things that dont matter, wont last and could cost us everything. The Bible is the first book of law, government, history, economics and education.
We need the gospel; the healing of the brokenhearted, the proclamation of liberty to the captives, recovery of sight to the blind, and the bound set free. We need you. In a day of extreme sports, extreme weather outbreaks, extreme division, extreme financial crisis, extreme world upheaval, isnt it time for extreme prayer?
As youre praying, youll be shining light, showing love, speaking truth and enthroning glory. Be strengthened as you pray, knowing God hears you and that youre making the difference.
This is not about keeping the status quo. Its not about saving the economy, electing a new leader or having a religious experience. Its not Sunday morning churchianity, its a lifestyle. Its about being transformed into the image of the Son. Its about returning to Yahweh. The prodigals are coming home. Will you declare your dependence?

FIRE BIBLE Student Edition

There are very few Bibles that are written with attention to the teachings which make the Spirit filled Church the fastest growing Christian group in the world today. The Fire Bible Student addition is a breath of fresh air, as well as, a fantastic tool which allows the student to dig deeper and to move beyond knowing God and His Word to implementing the strategies that allow us to be doing the works of God in the Earth today.

I highly recommend this bible to students and all those who want to see God doing His work in people's lives today! The Fire Bible Student addition is a powerful adaptation of the Life in the Spirit Study Bible.

Why Fire? http://fbse.ag.org/docs/whyfire.pdf
“Were not our hearts burning within us while he
talked with us on the road and opened the Scriptures
to us?” (Luke 24:32, NIV)

Throughout the Bible, fire often symbolizes the presence, power and work of God. In the
Old Testament, God’s presence guided his people in the form of a pillar of fire (Exodus
13:21, 22). In the New Testament, Jesus himself said, “I have come to bring fire on the
earth” (Luke 12:49). God’s fire usually serve two primary purposes in people’s lives,
depending on how they respond to him (see Deuteronomy 4:24; Jeremiah 23:29; Hebrews
12:29). For those who accept his Word and follow him, his fire purifies and refines them
into what he created them to be. But for those who reject and defy him, the fire of God’s
means judgment that will eventually consume and destroy. Ultimately, God’s fire is
meant to ignite within his people a passion for him and his purposes.
Before Jesus left the earth following his resurrection, he told his followers that he
would send the Holy Spirit to empower them to effectively serve him and spread his
message (Acts 1:1-8). That promise was fulfilled on the on the day of Pentecost (see Acts
2). One of the signs of the Spirit’s arrival was what appeared to be tongues of fire that
separated and came to rest on each person who was filled by the Holy Spirit. Though that
particular sign of fire occurred only on that day, the spiritual empowerment that began at
Pentecost is still available and continues to operate in and through Spirit-filled followers
of Christ to this day.
The notes and commentary in this study Bible reflect an uncompromised
Pentecostal perspective. This is based on a firm belief that Christians today can and
should experience the purposes and power of God’s Holy Spirit in the same way as
Christ’s followers did in the first century church. From Acts to Revelation, you can read
about what Jesus’ followers did through the power of the Holy Spirit. To this day, the
baptism in the Holy Spirit--being immersed in the power of the Spirit--continues to fill
Christians with the desire, urgency and ability to carry out Christ’s command to take his
message throughout the world (see Acts 1:8; 2:42-47; 4:31).

WHY do we need the FBSE?
The NEED
The aim of youth ministry is to help as many students as possible truly come to know
God and to pursue his purpose for their lives. That knowledge must be based on God’s
Word--it’s how He reveals himself to us. To be ignorant of the Word is to be ignorant of
God.
The main issue in reaching today’s students today is not so much a concern over what
they are doing or even the specific struggles, challenges and temptations they are facing.
The primary hurdle in many cases--even among students who are supposedly Christian--
is what they believe or are led to believe. Even when students claim to believe the Bible,
their views of its basic teachings often reveal that they really don’t know the Word.
• 46% believe that Jesus committed sins.
• 51% believe He died but didn’t rise again.
• 63% believe that most religions pray to the same God.
• 48% believe it doesn’t matter what faith you adopt because they all believe the same
principles. Third Millennium Teens, George Barna


The CHALLENGE
On the surface, these statistics could spell spiritual disaster in the years ahead. But the
FBSE can play a pivotal role in reversing these alarming trends.
Rather than being characterized by biblical illiteracy, this generation of students could be
the one that fulfills the Great Commission, reaching the entire planet with the message of
Jesus. But to communicate Christ’s message, we have to know what God has already said
through his Word. After all, we can’t help others understand what we ourselves don't
understand.
The reason most people don’t share their faith isn’t because they don't believe or because
they’re ashamed. They simply aren’t sure what to say if they actually got into a
conversation about Christ, or the Bible, or faith. The FBSE--like no other Bible
available--will help students grasp the deeper issues and answers regarding your faith.
That way, they can step out with confidence and talk about Jesus.
The RESOURCE
The FBSE is the only Bible of its kind specifically geared for students. It doesn’t take the
“what do you think? how do you feel?” approach used by many devotional-type resources. Such an approach can actually compromise on in-depth study Bible that willhelp you understand what the Word is really saying.e’s concept of God’s absolute, uncompromised, unchanging truth. Instead, the FBSE is an in-depth study Bible that will help you understand what the Word is really saying.
The Fire Bible Student Addition needs to be in the hands of every student, both College and High school! Order one for each of your youth today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
