EXCERPT

When Ezekiel entered the valley of dry bones, the outlook was bleak; death hung over the battlefield like a thick, dark cloud of gloom. Suddenly God rocked Ezekiel’s world when He asked the prophet a seemingly ridiculous question: “Can these bones live?” The great prophet was staggered to comprehend the possible outcome of God’s incredible inquiry. Finally he gathered himself and answered, “You know, Lord.”

The rest is history; a mighty army emerged from the valley of dry bones when Ezekiel prophesied life into that graveyard (see Ezekiel 37:1–10).

Our world seems to be in complete disarray. Poverty, immorality and injustice are pelting our nations like a plague, yet once again the prophets of God stand in the valley of the shadow of death, and once again God is asking us the same question: “Can these bones live?” The history of our nations hangs in the balance as we ponder the answer to this profound question. Will we inspire mass despair or will we equip a mighty army of light-bearers to transform this deep darkness? The world waits in hopeful anticipation as the prophets of God stand in the valley of decision. My prayer is that God will once again equip us to see a mighty army rise from the dry bones of global despair and shine the light of hope into this desperate and dying world.

•Derek Prince is known for his relevant, nondenominational instruction that has changed the lives of millions

• In-depth, accessible teaching that shows God’s plan for humanity

In this fascinating study of Scripture, bestselling author Derek Prince explores how Lucifer’s actions set the course for humanity—and the stunning

significance of Jesus’ victory over Satan. What began as an archangel’s rebellion before time is a conflict of epic proportions that affects every aspect of life today. A revised edition of a classic text, War in Heaven gives biblical answers to the most fundamental questions of evil and reveals why spiritual warfare is such an important part of God’s plan for each of us.

Since before time, the devil has never had to change his tactics. Why? Because they still work! It’s time for God’s people to seize their biblical weapons, both offensive and defensive, and wage war on the forces battling around us.

•Classic, popular text on how to hear God now includes new stories and practical guidelines

•Uncomplicated, unique, and practical, this book prepares readers to enjoy two-way conversation with God

•Author travels extensively and speaks widely on the topic

Whenever we pray, we should expect to hear something,” says author and teacher Steve Sampson. Imagine hearing God’s customized

directives for your life and relationships. Think what it would mean to hear him express his love and care to you. Picture a conversation with him that involves both speaking and listening.

In this revised and expanded edition of his classic work, Sampson shows how this is all possible. He answers questions such as

• Can all Christians hear God?• What are the best conditions for optimum listening prayer?• How do I know it’s God talking to me and not my own wishes—or,

worse, Satan’s attempts to distract and deceive?

Concise and incredibly practical, Sampson also gives clear directives for discernment, for cultivating intimacy with the Holy Spirit, and for developing a faith that responds to that still, small voice.

EXCERPT

There is a company of believers all across this planet who are beginning to realize that Christ in you means that the solution and ideas to remedy every problem known to man live inside them. If you do a quick study of Jesus’ life and miracles, you will notice that they deal with one of five general categories: sickness and disease, finances, natural disasters, food shortage, sin and death. Every time Jesus confronted one of these problems, he had a solution to offer. Not once when a problem arose do we find Him saying, “I don’t know what to do.”

You’ll notice that most of our world’s problems can be put into one of these five categories. When we, as the body of Christ, realize the depth and width of what it means that Christ lives in us, we will begin to help contribute to solving the complex issues facing the world today.

ABOUT THE AUTHOREric Johnson serves on the Senior Leadership for Bethel Church in Redding, California. Along with his wife, Candace, they are the senior leaders over the local church—Bethel Redding. He is a sixth generation minister and has authored Momentum: What God Starts Never Ends. Eric and Candace have a passion to see transformation take place in the lives of people, cities, and nations. They have two beautiful daughters who make them extremely proud parents.

Christianity has an image problem—but not the way you think. While it’s troubling the way the world sees us, how we see ourselves is the truer problem. We carry

secret shames; as a result, our ability to give and receive praise, favor, and abundance depends on how much we think we, and others, deserve.

Nothing could be more devastating to the Kingdom.God—the vast, omniscient, benevolent God of the universe—lives inside us. And if

we truly understood what this means, says Eric Johnson, senior pastor of Bethel Church in Redding, then we would begin to see ourselves the way he does: worthy.

Here Johnson helps all Christians move beyond the limitations we place on ourselves, others—and God—and embrace the truth of who we are and who God is. Don’t settle for a defeated, powerless existence. He created you for a passionate, powerful, and purposeful life. Believe this, and trust him, and you can change the world.

Christ in YouEric Johnson
