Spirit Walk: The Extraordinary Power of Acts for Ordinary People
Steve Smith - 2018
Though we know the Bible says to walk in the Spirit, the majority of Christians are illiterate (and even nervous) about how to practically live in His power. The result is lives marred by continued brokenness and ministries plagued by fruitlessness. In contrast, believers from Acts understood the ancient path of the Spirit Walk. That extraordinary power was not just for them, but for us also.Gleaning insights from implementation in dozens of Acts-like movements around the world, Spirit Walk "lifts the hood and shows us the real secret behind apostolic, disciple-multiplying movements" (Neil Cole, author of Organic Church). Whether you need a movement of God in your personal life or in your ministry, this book takes you through the timeless principles of the Bible.The Spirit Walk path has helped thousands of ordinary people shift from a fundamental reliance upon methods and self-helps to the essential reliance upon the Spirit who empowers these. Spirit Walk reminds us of the ancient path and explains it in a practical discipline that you can remember daily.Discover how to start on the journey of being filled again and again by the Spirit. But more importantly, learn how to stay full of the Spirit as you abide in Christ throughout the day, and your life.

Dissolve The Problem: by Shifting Physical Reality
Richard Dotts - 2016
Be it financial, health, relationship, family or career problems, Richard puts forth the groundbreaking premise that some problems are so persistent in our lives precisely because we have attempted to “solve” and analyze them for so long. In the process, we have inevitably come to identify ourselves as inseparable from these various issues in our life. In his trademark style that has endeared him to readers worldwide, Richard masterfully weaves in spiritual principles to explain why our conventional ways of “solving” a problem have actually led to more disappointments than successes. He shows us why anytime we attempt to solve a problem by working through it or finding out the reasons for it, we unknowingly perpetuate its existence in our everyday reality. As Richard puts it, “If all your hard work could have led to a solution, you would have found it already. Perhaps there is a better way.” Richard explains that the only permanent way is to dissolve a problem completely using spiritual means. Dissolving a problem means letting it go so completely from your life that the original conditions which created the problem cannot even exist. By tapping into these powerful Universal Laws that have always been available to us, we can instantly shift into a realm where the initial problem does not even exist. When there are no problems, then there is no need for physical solutions in the first place.When dissolving longstanding problems in our lives, Richard teaches that it does not matter what the specifics of your problems are. It does not matter whether you are faced with financial, health or relationship concerns. Neither does it matter how long you’ve had these problems for. The Universe perceives none of the physical limitations of time and space that are apparent to you. The Universe is never interested in the specifics of your problem. Therefore, these steps to dissolve a problem apply equally to all issues.In this new book, Richard teaches a powerful three-step process that allows anyone to dissolve the longstanding problems in their lives. This three-step process is so different from other outward-oriented techniques because it is not about positive thinking, denial, acting “as if,” or analyzing the problem in great detail. Instead, the dissolving process sidesteps all this and directly focuses on our primary roles as powerful creators and focusers of Universal energy. When you understand your role as a director of Universal energy, you will instantly be able to redirect these creative energies from the undesired to the desired aspects of your life. What happens then, is a spontaneous dissolving of the various issues in your life without your active intervention.
