What if Genesis through Revelation is just the beginning of knowing who God is? This book will guide you into a deeper understanding and intimacy with God as you study who He is as the resurrected King. You will have a better grasp of the book of Revelation and who Jesus is revealed in this powerful part of Scripture. The image we have of Jesus is one that affects the way we act as Christians and the way we take the gospel to the world. That image has sometimes been reflected badly because we do not have a fully rounded image of the Jesus we love and worship. Indeed, some modern concepts of Jesus in the church would be difficult to worship. In Revelation 1, Jesus appears in a vision given to the apostle John. It is an awesome, majestic vision. The Bible, perhaps intentionally, doesn't give us much information about what Jesus looked like in human form. Yet here in John's apocalyptic book, God gives us an image that transcends the incarnation, an image of Jesus we can really focus on. In A Vision of Jesus, respected Bible teacher R.T. Kendall mines Revelation 1 to show readers: The unique promise of the Book of Revelation What Revelation teaches us about how to handle guilt, jealousy, and the unexpected Who God is and how Jesus is the fulfilment of the Old Testament pictures, as well as our great High Priest, the King, and more In these pages, Kendall guides readers toward a faith enriched by a more complete image of the Savior. Engaging and enlightening, this book will inspire Christians to renew their devotion to Jesus and share His transformative love with the world.

Pleasing God is a practical resource for Christian living that inspires believers to seek the greatest honor of anyone's lifetime--to have the privilege of pleasing God.Christ's total forgiveness means that we do not have to earn our salvation.

But chances are, if you have been born again you want to do good works. You want to pray. You want to forgive and love your enemies. You desire to please God.In Pleasing God, bestselling author and well-known preacher, R.T. Kendall, unfolds the meaning of persistent faith. Starting with the story of Enoch, Dr. Kendall explores biblical teachings that call believers to "find out what pleases the Lord" (Ephesians 5:10).With biblical teaching, personal stories, and humble wisdom, Dr. Kendall answers these questions:What pleases God (and what displeases Him)?Why should we please God?How should we please God?Imagine the joy and peace that will come from pleasing God more than seeking approval from others.

Esta es una lectura indispensable". --Brett Fuller, pastor de la congregaci n Grace Covenant Church Chantilly, capell n de Washington Commanders ENGLISH DESCRIPTION What happens when prophets are wrong? In 2020, many Christians claiming to be prophets said God told them that Donald Trump would be re-elected as president. Over thirty years before that, one the famous Kansas City Prophets, Paul Cain, prophesied that there would be a revival in London in 1990, which never came to pass. These examples make us wonder: What happens when prophets get it wrong? Are there consequences for misleading God's people? What would a genuine prophet look like today? And how can you tell a false prophet from a genuine one? In recent years, misjudgments among Charismatic Christians claiming to speak for God as well as moral failures within Evangelicalism have resulted in a crisis of belief. In Prophetic Integrity, bestselling author and speaker, R.T. Kendall gives a warning to those speaking in God's name and offers a way forward in trusting God despite the failures of the church. To unpack this difficult topic, Kendall, a self-described "Reformed charismatic," relates accounts of visions and supernatural experiences and shares stories and thoughts about Christian leaders that he knew personally, such as Paul Cain and Ravi Zacharias. He gives examples of good and bad prophecies and teaches a biblical and theologically-sound understanding of prophetic gifting and use. Prophetic Integrity is a book for those who believe that God still speaks today, but have serious questions about those within the church that identify as prophets. It's a call for honesty, vulnerability, and repentance; and it speaks to Christians of many different traditions, including Charismatic and Evangelical. Discerning Christians of many different traditions can and must take both God's word and the gift of prophecy seriously and recognize how humans can abuse such gifts or use them to advance God's Kingdom.

FROM THE BEST-SELLING AUTHOR OF TOTAL FORGIVENESS God uses people as they are and will let history determine one's legacy. This book will guide me through the challenges and blessings of receiving God's anointing so that I can use greater wisdom and discernment of how to properly use a double portion of anointing. Next to Moses, Elijah was the greatest prophet of the Old Testament. But he was so human--so much so that James said he was "just like us" (Jas. 5:17). One day he challenged the prophets of Baal on Mount Carmel and fire fell from heaven. The next day he was running from Jezebel, scared to death. Toward the end of his ministry Elijah selected an unknown person--Elisha--with no obvious qualifications to succeed him. Elijah was Elisha's mentor, but they were different. Elijah was colorful; Elisha was by comparison colorless. But God's hand was equally on Elisha as with Elijah. In a short period of time Elisha put a bold request to Elijah, asking for a double portion of his spirit. It was granted. But how was this manifested? That is what this book is about. The anointing can be manifested in more than one way; we must all discover our anointing and live within it (Rom. 12:3). Elisha's double anointing was partly in quantity rather than quality. Elijah performed something like seven miracles; some of Elisha's miracles overlap with Elijah's. But the total of Elisha's miracles comes to at least fourteen, including raising the dead, as Elijah did. These things said, the two men were different in personality. Elijah ended brilliantly. Elisha ended not only as a lackluster successor to Elijah but in personal disappointment. This is a reminder that not all saintly Christians end their pilgrimage with sensational testimonies.

From Best-Selling Author R. T. Kendall What if I told you the "new normal" is that nothing will be normal again? As recent events have unfolded, not only America but the entire world has been brought to the precipice of the most challenging moments of our lifetimes. But while these times seem unprecedented and unchartered to us, they are not to God. Much like He said to Joshua and the children of Israel standing on the edge of the Promised Land, God now says to us: "You have never been this way before" (Josh.3:4). God's word is tender, challenging, and scary. God knows where we've been and where we are going. As we cope with extraordinary new outbreaks of disease, racism, and cultural upheaval, we have been forced to recognize that we are not prepared for this. Nobody is. Yet there is hope. In this timely message, trusted theologian R. T. Kendall helps you navigate the way forward by exploring how God led His people in the past. Along the way, he answers questions such as: Where is God in all this?What do Christians have to offer the rest of the world during these times?Did the devil cause these things? Did God cause them?If God allowed these things to happen, then why? Just like today's Christians, the people of great faith listed in Hebrews 11 had to grapple with things that had not been encountered before. They needed unprecedented faith to accomplish God's purpose in unprecedented times. Join R. T. Kendall on this journey to understand what God is saying to His people in this critical hour, the ways He has already equipped you to face these uncertainties, and how to know His plan for your future. This book will help you understand what God is saying to us during this time of uncertainty and change.

Do you worship the God of the Bible, or a fictional character? This book will bring us back to the God of the Bible. Not the God we like or the way we wish He were, but the very God of the Bible--unembellished, unvarnished--as He really is. This does not mean we will like Him. Many times we are embarrassed by the God of the Bible, especially the God of the Old Testament. We are even embarrassed by the teachings of Jesus when it comes to His being the only way to be saved, as well as God's right to judge and reward or condemn. We attempt to manage God's PR and fix His image in the modern world. We are tempted to modify and mold God into what we want Him to be--what we think He should be. Instead we should be finding out where God is and meet Him there, even if that takes us out of our comfort zones. This book will challenge you to give up your conception of what you would like God to be and come to know Him as He really is.Other Books by R.T.
