The shadows. Our heroes, like ourselves, are not immune to pain and failure.Anxiety and fear. Grief and loss. Financial stress. Old trauma and wounds. Social strife.

Our darkest moments are essential. Our greatest mistakes become the very means by which we summonstrength and find our truest selves.According to Chironna, this means of grace is resurrection. Resurrection is not just a historical event but a daily practice, a habit of rising above life's trials. Practicing resurrection leads us out of the shadows.Through this practice, we move from languishing to flourishing. We rediscover joy and move beyond trauma and fear toward a life well-lived.

What if our "signs of the times" mean that the Spirit of God is on the move?Author and trusted prophet Kim Maas reveals one of the mysteries of the Kingdom: When light breaks through the gates of darkness, the result is violence. This is spiritual warfare, and it signals a fresh awakening. It means that the Kingdom of God is advancing and that you are advancing!Engage in Kingdom violence the way Jesus taught--with violent love, violent forgiveness, violent healing, violent deliverance, violent peace.

The ministry of casting out demons is either entirely dismissed on one hand or misused and abused on the other. A closed-system natural worldview utterly rejects the notion of a spirit world with spirit beings. To the other extreme, some shortsighted deliverance ministries reject the validity of the health professions and identify every problem in the life of the believer as demonic. The theology of these ministries fails to account for the power of the cross and its daily application in the life of the believer as the normal way in which God delivers from sin and evil. All challenges in the life of the believer do not necessitate a deliverance session. Unleashed is a book that offers a balanced perspective on these matters, including an instrument that can be used to assist in discerning the probable need for deliverance. The C1-13 instrument is revolutionary, transcending the usual inventories by applying variables that are key factors to differentiating degrees of demonic influence. The instrument is also distinct due to its integrative approach that cross-references the work of other professional fields to arrive at a comprehensive picture of the problem and thus a more extensive and effective treatment. ""Dr. Bellini wants to help us to believe in demons and then to be able to determine whether they are present in any given situation. These are important questions for those who seek wholeness and freedom for themselves and understanding for those in ministry. He goes after understanding with the precision of a scientist who takes nothing for granted. Those in ministry where demonization is a possibility can gain much from this book."" --Charles H. Kraft, Professor Emeritus, Fuller School of Intercultural Studies ""In his brand new release entitled Unleashed , Dr. Peter Bellini, from his own research and total life experience, lays the groundwork for a scholarly and sound, effective approach to the integration of the spiritual and the psychological, in addressing the demonic. With all the abuse that has taken place in many circles regarding what is referred to as 'deliverance ministry', Unleashed is a gift to the saints."" --Mark J. Chironna, Church On The Living Edge, Mark Chironna Ministries, Longwood, Florida ""For those on the fence regarding the existence of demons, Dr. Bellini's chapters on the theological background and supernatural worldview of demons are required reading. . . . Overall it is an amazingly balanced book offering a deliverance ministry model that doesn't myopically focus on deliverance solely, but upon complete restoration and wholeness. Sometimes that wholeness happens only through deliverance ministry, more often through the normal means of grace, and sometimes--without apology--through the insights from the medical fields."" --Randy Clark, Overseer of the Apostolic Network of Global Awakening, Founder of Global Awakening ""Pete Bellini is the real thing He is not an armchair theologian who talks about spiritual warfare from a safe distance. His theology has been radically shaped by his time in the trenches fighting evil supernaturalism."" --William. P.

Throughout biblical history, God's people have experienced transitions that challenged their current state and pointed toward a future that wanted to happen in the eternal purposes of God. The nascent 21st century is just such a time.Tectonic cultural shifts are creating tsunamis of uncertainty and disillusionment that strain our institutions, expose our divisions, and test the Church's readiness to lead. Always, such breakpoints demand a revived focus and renewed dedication to the truth--in our case, a devotion to the ancient and unchanging truths upon which Christ built His Church.As was true at previous junctures, the current transition is revealing a vanguard company of men and women who, amid upheaval and disorientation, understand the times and know what to do (1 Chron. 12:32).In Dead Prophets Society, Dr. Mark Chironna speaks to the legacy of Issachar and its place in the 21st-century Church. Methodically and scripturally, he describes how modern sons and daughters of Issachar will do what Issachar has always done: arise to the high call of God, labor on the living edge of what He is doing, and serve as His instrument of recovery and restoration, His vital, authentic, and overcoming Church.

Move from Unconscious Living to Wide-Awake Destiny Have you taken a leap of faith in life, only to discover that you have crossed an invisible threshold that seems to have launched you into an unfamiliar place where nothing looks or works the way it used to? Do you feel stranded on strange seas without a map or a compass? Does it feel as if you are drifting through life without a rudder, or as if you are rowing hard but getting nowhere fast--hitting stronger, more contrary winds than you anticipated? Do you feel stuck between a former "somewhere" to which you cannot return and a new "somewhere" that you cannot seem to reach? Welcome to the "gap." You are living in a messy but miraculous patch of real estate--albeit in the unstable element of the baptismal waters of life's transitions--that lies between your current reality and the location of your desired destiny. Traversing this gap is a vital step in the journey of all human beings, regardless of their race, gender, or creed. The assumption that God is in control of absolutely everything in our life will be challenged as we enter the gap to find that this notion isn't necessarily so. Rather, the choices we make determine the outcomes we receive. When you arrived on this planet, you weren't handed a script to memorize and follow. You have had to walk by faith from the moment you learned to put one foot in front of the other. You were surely created with a grand design in mind, one that includes your capacity to invoke, evoke, and provoke personal destiny. Calling your destiny into being requires your intentional participation and cooperation. Through LifeQuest, seasoned people-helper, semiotician, professional certified coach, and master consultant Dr. Mark Chironna will guide you in charting a course for your life's journey. He will help you to ask the right questions, encourage you to explore the mysterious gap between your current reality and your future destiny, and show you that change is not your enemy.

In the Old Testament, Jezebel was married to Ahab, king of Israel. Ahab ceded his power to his wife, acquiescing to her control and becoming passive. In the same way today, people demonstrating the control and domination of the Jezebel spirit compel people into the passivity of an Ahab spirit, whether in a marital situation, a church, or any other relationship.It doesn't have to be this way. Using sound biblical teaching and real-life illustrations--some from his own life--bestselling author Steve Sampson shows readers how to discern and defeat the spirit of Ahab, Jezebel's ancient ally. It is possible to be assertive in a godly way, and Sampson's teaching will motivate believers trapped in passivity to claim their freedom and become a positive force for change.

Are you tired of the never-ending strugglesTired of grasping, clawing, plotting and striving to achieve your dreamsHave you found your heart aching for something deeper and more enduring?Many believe that security, accomplishments, and possessions will give them identity. Yet the more you struggle for your identity, the more it eludes you. It isn't until you are free to let go of the grasping and the grabbing that you find out who you are.In this book, Mark Chironna shows letting go in action by putting you inside the skin of Jacob. Litterally a "grabber" from birth, Jacob emerged from the womb clutching the heel of his twin brother. For years this second son lived in his brother Esau's shadow, struggling to prove his way through life until an encounter with God showed him how to let go and find his destiny as a prince among men. "Let go of the lie that you can never lay hold of what your heart dreams of," says Chironna. "Reject the lie that everyone is out to deny you of your true-to-God existence. Let go of the belief that the struggle is with someone else; it is with yourself. Cheer up; you can, and you will let go, and your deepest longings will be deeply satisfied!"

"Healed Without Scars" shows how to overcome depression, anger, fear, and hopelessness; discover the path to personal wholeness; find peace in the midst of life's storms; renew one's hopes and dreams; and experience a life of freedom and joy.
