Spiritual Identity and Spirit-Empowered Life


Book Description

The world loves to place labels on people-even on followers of Christ. It's difficult to see yourself as God sees you. But Thomson K. Mathew has created a three-dimensional model of Holy Spirit-empowered Christian identity that allows believers to remain whole in a broken world. Part 1, "Discovering Your Identity in God's Family," discusses the importance of your identity as a child of God, a disciple of Jesus, a citizen of God's kingdom, and a person made whole through faith. Part 2, "Discovering Your Purpose in God's Call," discusses your calling as a hope-filled healer, believer, worshipper, leader, missionary, and prophet. Part 3, "Discovering Your Power in God's Spirit," dives into your position as the temple of the Holy Spirit, your gifts and blessings, and your place among God's living saints. Mathew ends his book with a call to action focusing on your God-given anointing and empowerment through the Holy Spirit to fulfill your specific purpose on Earth. God wants you to know who you are in Him. Mathew's prayer is that you'll begin to see your own beauty and purpose so that you may walk in the knowledge that you are a powerful child of God!

Spiritual Authority


Book Description

Jesus gave his disciples authority to preach the good news of the kingdom of God and to cast out demons, heal the sick, save the lost and set the captives free. Everywhere Jesus went, the kingdom came with power. There was no proclamation of the gospel without a demonstration of power. It was the authentic demonstration of Jesus' power through his followers that ignited the greatest spiritual movements in the first century. Today, we are becoming more like the spiritual climate in the first century then like 1950 America. In a pluralistic, syncretistic society where all deities are considered equal, only the unequal display of Jesus' power will convince people of the supremacy of Christ. The key to demonstrating the power of the King is Authority and authority is not just positional; it is developmental. Spiritual authority is rooted in identity, expanded in intimacy and activated by faith. This book takes an in depth look at how we can grow in identity, intimacy and faith so that we can develop our authority and release the kingdom.




A Glimpse into Your Spiritual Identity


Book Description

All inhabitants of this terrestrial plane are, to some degree, influenced by a dual nature: an outward sense of mortal self and an inner sense of higher Self. This duality keeps us at odds, resulting in a divided consciousness and a life of conflict. A Glimpse into Your Spiritual Identity presents a compilation of the early works of authors Stephen and Lynn Jay, originally published in 1982. Through a penetrating study of the mind and an exposé of human nature, it reveals a step-by-step journey toward gaining a greater understanding of and mastery over self. Dominion over the self is brought to pass by an application of the basic underlying principles of life and from becoming acquainted with your Soul. When consciousness is aligned with heaven, the windows of the Soul are flung open, allowing us a glimpse into our reality. This guide refreshes consciousness in remembrance and reinforces resolve with the newness and excitement of soul discovery and exploration. A Glimpse into Your Spiritual Identity is a foundational book to spring from or to act as a reminder of lessons that many of us tend to skim over as we spiritually progress on our odyssey of discovering our Soul.




Identity Matters


Book Description

Experience the unshakeable certainty of your inheritance in Christ and the wonder of being a child of God. Our understanding of our identity matters. It is the foundation of well-being, self-esteem, and self worth, which directly influences our quest for purpose and significance in life. Unfortunately, we live in a society that insists on performance and people pleasing as the only acceptable pathways to security and acceptance. Many Christians are wearing themselves out on this treadmill of self-promotion and achievement, unaware that they are ultimately building their lives on shifting sand. True Christian identity rests upon the rock solid promise that we are the children of God. Discovering who we are in Christ unlocks an inheritance that is eternal, secure, and overflowing with transforming grace that changes our lives at the deepest level, unleashing amazing possibilities for life and ministry. God's promise brings the unshakable certainty that at the core of our lives, we are forever hidden in Christ.




The Dynamics of Spiritual Living


Book Description

The Dynamics of Spiritual Living is a book about the construction, development and validation of the spirit-man. It is a book that contains radical ideas, concepts and teachings that are there to challenge our everyday habits and life experiences if we are to emerge in the 21st century as the type of individual able to successfully survive the cataclysms that lie ahead. It is a book designed to give you the “foundational” and fundamental tools to do so. It allows its reader to consciously pursue and become aware of the infrastructure for building a spiritually-empowered lifestyle. If you want to change what you see in your outer world, then you must change what goes on in your inner world. It truly is about change. The Scriptures say, “Be ye transformed (changed) by the renewing of your mind.” The Dynamics of Spiritual Living was written to help renew your mind (thinking). It is a book designed to help you get rid of erroneous beliefs, old thinking patterns and habits and replace them with novel and life transforming ideas that are inherent within us. Most of our identity is swallowed up in an ego-based reality and it is a hindrance and a stumbling block to living our lives as spiritual giants. The Messiah, His teachings, were all about this spiritual, dynamic individual that the Messiah represented and beheld in us afar off . The Dynamics of Spiritual Living invites you on a quest in search of the “spiritually-empowered individual. It requires you to place the focus on the inner man, inner works and inner dialogue that accompanies a spiritually empowered life. If we understand that our outer world is a manifestation of that which is dominantly happening within our inner world, we can become spiritual beings in truth.
