WHEN HEAVEN INVADES EARTH

I've recently been reading this book with my family and it is a powerful book. It's "A Practical Guide to a Life of Miracles" by Bill Johnson. You can find it for a 21% discount in our bookstore at www.loveandfire.net (then click on the menu item "Music and Bookstore").

When Heaven Invades Earth is a powerful statement and testimony on the Kingdom of God. Theologically sound, well supported, and extremely well argued, this message provides a carefully constructed biblical foundation for the average Christian to live and walk in the miraculous, supernatural power of God. Not only is the supernatural possible, it is also our commission. The Great Commission that Christ gave to the Church challenges us and makes us responsible to rise up to this supreme supernatural calling. Johnson shows you how you are called to dominion in the earth through the divine rule of God.

We're currently reading Chapter 4, "Faith - Anchored in the Unseen". It has some real good revelation about Faith in it, and that's something we can all use more of. At the beginning of this chapter the author says, "Faith is the mirror of the heart that reflects the realities of an unseen world -- the actual substance of His Kingdom. Through the prayer of faith we are able to pull the reality of His world into this one. That is the function of faith." Chew on that for a while.

The writer of Hebrews put it this way, "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." Wow, so needy I am -- I need Jesus so much -- I am beginning to get just a tiny glimpse of real faith... and I want more... I want to live this Kingdom of God to it's limitlessness (if that's a word).

Holy Spirit, help me to live a life of faith... where nothing is impossible... NOTHING!
