The rise and fall of most churches today is in sharp contrast to the first century church! That church is our model, because it was established by Christ and was built on solid Biblical principles.

Sadly, those principles have largely been ignored or violated in our day; so we have thousands of churches in America that close their doors every year. One example is in the Southern Baptist Convention, with a fourteen-year decline in membership. Last year, 288,000 members left their churches, which is the largest decline in over 100 years.

The seven factors explained in this book, if followed, would turn this decline around! 47 pages

When the disciples of John asked Jesus why His disciples did not fast, Jesus explained that while He was with them, they did not need to fast. But after He had ascended to heaven, “then they shall fast” (Matthew 9:14-15).

Fasting was a vital part of the first century church; and the rewards were great! In over 80 years of attending church and listening to Christian radio programs, I HAVE NEVER HEARD A SERMON ON FASTING!

We build fellowship halls for feasting, but we neglect the power and rewards of fasting! No wonder people are leaving powerless churches. 32 pages

There is only one reason: They are not being fed and their Christian life is not working. They cannot conquer anger, guilt, lust, bitterness, greed, fear or envy. Pastors are giving information to the head brain, but it is not getting into the hearers and becoming a living part of their lives. Jesus said, “If you love Me, FEED my sheep!”

There is only one solution: Teach each member how to internalize the power of God’s Word by quoting it back to God while going to sleep at night. By this, God guarantees true success! 31 pages

This Journal is not only a practical guide to a successful life, but it will be a valuable heritage to pass on to future generations. It provides a step-by-step approach to the important truths that bring success, with clear directions on how to apply them to daily life. 75 pages

We fear what we do not understand and we worship what we fear. The fear of death puts us in an emotional prison and robs us of our ability to enjoy life, health and the achievements for which God created us. Jesus destroyed “him who had the power of death, that is, the devil, and released those, who through fear of death, were all their lifetime subject to bondage” (Hebrews 2:14–15). 55 pages.

The 5 giants that David faced during his lifetime are symbolic of the 5 major temptations that every man will also face. Those which are not conquered in their youth will return later in life with greater power and destruction. Precise steps are given on how to conquer each giant. 93 pages.

When a Walmart cashier casually asked Bill Gothard, “How are you?,” he answered, “Rejoicing!” She looked up and said, “Why are you rejoicing?” He said, “Because I have found the secret to a truly successful life!”

She responded with keen interest, “What is that secret?” Bill explained, “It is based on the fact that we have three brains: our head brain, which is the weakest; our heart brain, which controls our head brain; and our gut brain, which is the strongest. The secret is quoting a verse of Scripture to God every night while going to sleep. During the night it goes from our head brain down to our gut brain which then instructs our heart brain. God promises that if we do this, “whatever we do will prosper!’” The cashier said with excitement, “I would like to start doing that! Do you have any information?” Then the man in line behind Bill said, “I would like to do that, too!” They both urged Bill to give them more information. So he designed this brochure. Have you ever had people beg you for Biblical information!? 8-panel folded brochure. Available in Packets of 25 @ $5 each; or 4 packets for $10.

During His earthly ministry Jesus gave 49 general commands for us to follow and to “teach to all nations.” There are also seven deadly stresses that directly damage the seven systems of our body. There are seven commands that deal with each stress. By meditating on these commands while going to sleep, we not only resolve the stresses, but also build up our immune system and experience good health and true success. You can share these with everyone in your community. 4-panel folded brochure. Available in Packets of 25 @ $5 each; or 4 packets for $10.

When Martin Luther nailed his 95 theses on the door of the Wittenburg Castle Church on October 31, 1517, he launched a reformation that confirmed that salvation is by faith alone, not by any of our good works. That great victory has been diminished over the past 500 years as emerging churches have divided with debates over man-made doctrinal statements. Most churches do agree on nine cardinal doctrines, but they have ignored the more basic teachings that brings God’s life, unity and power.

Our problem is that a person can believe in all nine cardinal doctrines with his head brain and still not be saved! The only inspired doctrinal statements are the 49 commands of Christ, which He commissioned us to teach to all nations (Matthew 28:19-20). 176 pages.

Today’s pre-teens are facing trials and temptations that were not imagined in past generations. They need special wisdom and direction to deal with each one. This involves finding benefits for every trial they face; by doing this, they will understand why God let it happen. This will turn trials into “friends.” 155 pages.

Maintaining our Daily Rhemas Journal is the MOST IMPORTANT EVENT of our day! But it is all too easy to neglect it for things of lesser importance. So Volume Two has over 60 pages of powerful insights and information on the rewards of quoting a new verse to God every night. Each page came from “night instruction” and is designed for us “not to be weary in well doing, for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not!” (Galatians 6:9).

God designed money, and He has four purposes for its use. One is to show His love and power by providing it for us in supernatural ways. However, if we expect to get money from God, we must follow all His principles regarding money. This book explains what they are and how to carry them out. 51 pages.

Learn how to control every pre-sleep thought. 101 pages.

The most important responsibilities for parents, beyond food and shelter, are to lead their children to a deep-rooted faith in Christ and to help them find God’s purpose for their lives. The shocking increase in teen-age suicides is a tragic indication that this is not being done. This book provides answers. 85 pages.

One of the key factors in the rapid expansion of first century Christianity was being in “one accord.” This produces power. When a church is in one accord a revival will break out. In fact, a genuine revival can be predicted when a “one accord” status is achieved in a group of believers. 37 pages.

Most pastors try to explain away the promise, “Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old, he will not depart from it” (Proverbs 22:6). The verse is true. The problem is, most parents have no idea of all the vital factors that are essential to train up a son or daughter. This book is a must for parents! 110 pages.

Whenever it happens, it is a shock and a grief. There are usually no warning signs. One day your most trusted friend suddenly becomes your worst enemy! Often, you have no idea why it happened. David wrote, “My own intimate friend . . . has turned against me.” You need to know why it happened. 75 Pages.

There are three stages in a believer’s life: their vocation (employment), their ministry (serving others), and their life calling (the reason God brought them into the world). Your life calling usually comes later in life. It is then that you see how everything that happened to you previously prepared you for it. 105 pages.

The real founding of America did not take place with the landing of the Pilgrims in 1620. They came to carry out a mandate that was given in the first century by the Lord Jesus Christ.

Those same four disciplines will work today in the life of anyone who applies them. Without them, our life will have no purpose or power. 119 pages.

Jesus identified three levels of faith: No faith, little faith and great faith. These correspond to our three brains. If you “said a prayer” to receive Christ from your head brain, it was only an intellectual exercise. “Do you believe that there is one God . . . the devils also believe and tremble” (James 2:19). 113 pages.

God cleanses things with water and fire. He cleansed the earth with a flood and a fire of judgement is coming.

The thoughts of our heart have great power for good or for evil!
