Watchman Nee called it the "greatest known revival in church history." On October 31, 1904, Evan Roberts, a twenty–six–year–old former miner, returned home from a ministry training program, having quit at the urging of the Holy Spirit. That night, he joined sixteen other young people at a village chapel, and from that humble origin sprang a spiritual revival that roared across the hills and valleys of Wales. Thousands of souls were welcomed into God's kingdom. Even the press could not ignore the changes occurring and eagerly reported on Roberts' every move. As suddenly as he had appeared, Roberts vanished from the world stage, only to reemerge twenty years later. What happened? How did God work so miraculously? Jessie Penn–Lewis was well–acquainted with the revival, and with its leader, Evan Roberts. Her clear and concise history of the events of that time remains a treasure for all those who pray for revival to return in our day. Learn More

Were you called by God to start your own church or ministry? Do you manage your own company? Are you a leader with authority and influence over others? Creating a successful team without the right people can be counter-productive and can lead to heartache or disaster. On the other hand, anyone thrust into a position of responsibility and decision-making without maturity, know-how or experience, is a target for the enemy to wreak havoc on.

Some passages of Scriptures say, "Judge," while others say, "Don't judge". Most Christians aren't sure that they should judge anything - others feel responsible to raise a moral standard, but don't know how much authority they have. Derek Prince cuts through the apparent conflict to explain: Who is authorized to judge? When is judgment called for? What are we authorized to judge? Where are the limits? Why does our attitude matter? In a world that turns its back on God while crying, "Don't judge me," Derek Prince weighs in with a scriptural affidavit for sound judgment. Learn More

Catholicism's Inside Story Revealed By Fifty Converted Priests "It has been a great joy and a sadness to read this book. A joy because we have here, in every chapter, a reminder of what is real Christianity. I believe that the words found in these pages will be used of God to His glory because they are not the words of those seeking to advance themselves. They are simply the testimonies of men whose controlling desire has been to honor Christ and His Word. A Christian is a poor redeemed sinner for whom Christ has given everything. May this book be used to increase this testimony in all the world!" (Lain Murray in the Foreward) "I took the Holy Scriptures and began to search, but...Where is the infallibility of the Pope?...Where is all that about Eucharistic fasting...and the Mass? Where is it all? I could not find it. The more I studied the more I came to see that Christianity is one thing and Roman Catholicism is another, completely distinct. The more I searched the Scriptures the more convinced I became of this truth. As Catholic priests we were sincere, devout, and dedicated to the Roman Church. What the Bible has to say about "priesthood", compared to how we ourselves understood the "priesthood" will be come crystal clear as you read these personal testimonies of men who have experienced both the false and the true priesthood, the priesthood of every believer in the once for all sacrifice of Christ Jesus. I warmly encourage you to read about the Lord's grace in each life, for that is the heart beat of this book" (Richard Bennett, now serving Christ as a converted priest). "My studies in the Scriptures showed me that there is no true authority for doctrines such as the immaculate conception or the bodily Assumption of Mary into Heaven. The Roman Catholic Church has in recent years been yielding to the popular craze, fostered greatly by the so-called appearances at Lourdes and Fatima, which make Mary more and more into a supreme goddess, ruling heaven and earth. Many Roman bishops and self-styled Marian theologians are hoping to promote the doctrine that Mary redeemed the world and this in spire of St. Paul's declaration "For there is one God, and one Mediator between God and men, the man, Christ Jesus, Who gave Himself a ransom for all, to be testified to in due time" (I Timothy 2:5-6) (Charles A Bolton, now serving Christ as a converted priest). "Some evangelicals today think that times have changed, that is now possible to hold a dialogue and to collaborate with the Roman Catholic church in order to achieve Christian unity. This is a deception of Satan. The doctrines of this ecclesiastical organization have in no way changed. In fact they are now adding new errors to the old ones. In particular they are working towards bringing in all the other religions which will soon end up by establishing Babylon the Great, as the 17th chapter or Revelation" (Salvatore Gargiulo, a born-again priest now serving Christ).

Are you passive in your walk with Jesus? Have you made your stand against the enemy? Some have made deliverance their ultimate goal in life. Deliverance is not a final goal, it is only a sub-goal on the way to fulfill God's purpose in life. Deliverance is no more the goal for us that for the children of Israel escaping their bondage in Egypty. God said to Pharaoh, "Let my people go that they may serve Me..." (Exodus 7:16). There was a purpose for Israel beyond their escape from bondage and there is a purpose in God for each of us - and it is not passivity! We have observed the ways in which passivity works through our years in deliverance ministry. Passivity is a foe - it will even block deliverance. God has called us to war, and we must be vigilant, for we are not ignorant of Satan's devices. If we lack a definite plan of aggression, we have become passive to some degree. Demons are limited by spiritual law, so there has to be a legal right for demons to gain entrance. Although there are other gates, I am convinced that the main gate through which demons gain entrance is "passivity". Not only is this a gate through which demons enter, but passivity enables indwelling demons "squatters rights"; and their presence in God's temple goes unchallenged. And we are His temples. Included in this booklet is a list of ways that passivity manifests itself in our lives, examples of confrontation with passivity in Scripture, the names of specific spirits related to passivity, and a deliverance prayer to move beyond the barriers of passivity!
