Download or read book Walking in the Prophetic written by Dennis Paul Goldsworthy-Davis and published by . This book was released on 2022-05-07 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today is a day of unparalleled times in the body of Christ. We have seen throughout this last century a restoration of so many things. This truly is a fulfillment of the scripture that Peter was speaking of in Acts 3:21, "A time when God restores all things." Yet, there is a principle of restoration that is clearly seen: The last thing lost is the first thing restored and the first thing lost is the last thing restored. This principle can be seen through history to be so true time after time. You can clearly see this in the teachings and experiences of salvation, baptism, etc. In this restorative process we have been awaiting two major issues: The restoration of the prophet and the restoration of the apostle. When these two offices are fully restored to the church, we will be ready for the great latter-day outpouring of the Holy Spirit as described in the book of Joel. It is clear that the day of restoration of the prophet has come! As in all cases of restoration, extremes have come with it. It is my clear desire, in the writing of this book, to bring an understanding and a balance during this time of the prophet's restoration. Many books have already been written regarding the prophetic, but often only covering certain aspects. My goal is to help create a balanced understanding therefore enabling the reader to understand the prophetic process and response.In this Expanded Version of Walking In The Prophetic, I have taken some of the key points to a higher level of understanding. Five new expansive writings and a new format have been brought to you.

Download or read book Understanding Spiritual Gifts written by Sam Storms and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2020-09-01 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What are spiritual gifts? Storms has spent several decades teaching on the topic of the spiritual gifts and equipping believers in the faithful practice of God's gifts. Yet there remains a great deal of confusion about the nature of the gifts and how they best function in the body of Christ. In this comprehensive guide to the spiritual gifts, Storms addresses the many bizarre and misleading interpretations while confronting the tendency to downplay the urgency of spiritual gifts for Christian living and ministry. He explains how spiritual gifts--both the more miraculous and the everyday--are given to build up the body of Christ. God has graciously provided these "manifestations of the Spirit" so that believers might encourage, edify, strengthen, instruct, and console one another, all with a view to an ever-increasing, incremental transformation into the image of Jesus Christ. Throughout this guide, Sam Storms unpacks the glorious truth that there is a supernatural and divine energy or power that fills and indwells the body and soul of every Christian believer. Understanding Spiritual Gifts is useful as a reference to address common questions about the gifts, but it also serves as a training manual for using and exercising the gifts in ministry. It is perfect for any individual or group who wants to grow in their understanding of spiritual gifts for today.

Download or read book Victor Frankenstein the Monster and the Shadows of Technology written by Robert D. Romanyshyn and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-04-25 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Victor Frankenstein, the Monster and the Shadows of Technology: The Frankenstein Prophecies, Romanyshyn asks eight questions that uncover how Mary Shelley’s classic work Frankenstein haunts our world. Providing a uniquely interdisciplinary assessment, Romanyshyn combines Jungian theory, literary criticism and mythology to explore answers to the query at the heart of this book: who is the monster? In the first six questions, Romanyshyn explores how Victor’s story and the Monster’s tale linger today as the dark side of Frankenstein’s quest to create a new species that would bless him as its creator. Victor and the Monster are present in the guises of climate crises, the genocides of our "god wars," the swelling worldwide population of refugees, the loss of place in digital space, the Western obsession with eternal youth and the eclipse of the biological body in genetic and computer technologies that are redefining what it means to be human. In the book’s final two questions, Romanyshyn uncovers some seeds of hope in Mary Shelley’s work and explores how the Monster’s tale reframes her story as a love story. This important book will be essential reading for academics and students of Jungian and post-Jungian theory, literature, philosophy and psychology, psychotherapists in practice and in training, and for all who are concerned with the political, social and cultural crises we face today.
