Seeing in the Spirit Made Simple (The Kingdom of God Made Simple Book 2)
Praying Medic - 2015
It is the second book in The Kingdom of God Made Simple series; a self-study course designed to train believers how to live out the fullness of the life offered to us as heirs of God's kingdom. The predominant view in the church today holds that seeing in the spirit is a rare gift given to only a few special people, or an anointing we must seek. With the same straightforward, down-to-earth style used in Divine Healing Made Simple, the author holds this view up to the light of scripture, and suggests that it has no biblical basis. Rather than being a gift given by God to only a few people, seeing in the spirit is an innate ability we all possess, which lies undeveloped in most of us. Through prayer, training and exercise, this ability can be awakened and used by virtually anyone. The author provides Bible-based teaching along with dozens of testimonies and illustrations. There are also practical exercises at the end of the chapters to help develop your ability to see in the spirit. Praying Medic and his wife have only recently learned how to see in the spirit. Come along as they re-trace the path they’ve taken that has led them to see angels, demons and the heavenly realms. Whether you’re a seasoned seer or a newbie, you’ll learn from the experiences and insights they share. Not only will you develop better spiritual eyesight, but your relationship with God will grow too. Here’s a Preview of What You'll Learn: • Misconceptions and Myths About Seeing in the Spirit • The Biblical Basis for Seeing in the Spirit • The Nature of the Spiritual World • Angelic Appearances • The Word of Knowledge • Working Creative Miracles • Visiting the Heavenly Realms • Dreams, Visions and Trances • Interpreting Visual Revelation • Motives for Seeing in the Spirit • Seeing in the Spirit and Healing • Seeing in the Spirit and Prophecy • Seeing in the Spirit and Intercession • Seeing in the Spirit and Deliverance • Seeing in the Spirit and Spiritual Warfare • Seeing in the Spirit and Emotional Healing • How to Give a Prophetic Word From a Vision • How to Know if What You’re Seeing is From God
Praying the Lord's Prayer for Spiritual Breakthrough
Elmer L. Towns - 1997
Each chapter examines a line from the prayer, revealing power points for every believer desiring a more dynamic prayer life. Towns says: "What would you say if you were ushered into the throne room of God with only one minute to request everything you needed, but didn't know how to put it into words? The Lord's Prayer includes everything you need to ask when you talk to God . . . it is a model prayer that teaches us how to pray."

Thirteen-year-old orphan Alice Ringwald has no memory beyond six months ago. The only life she knows is the new one she's creating one day at a time with the loving couple that recently adopted her and gave her new hope. That hope, however, is shattered one night when she is abducted by her birth mother and plunged into a world as mysterious as her past. So begins Water Walker, a modern-day parable that examines the staggering power of forgiveness, and reminds us that it's possible to live free of the hurt that keeps our souls in chains. (YA)
