Holy Spirit Power! Knowing the Voice, Guidance and Person of the Holy Spirit by Paul Backholer.

Inspiration from Rees Howells, Evan Roberts, D.L. Moody, Duncan Campbell and other mighty channels of God’s fire!

Who is the Holy Spirit and how can you walk in His power?

Jesus walked in the power of the Holy Spirit and declared His disciples would do even greater works (Luke 4:14, John 14:12). Today, God’s power can still be released in and through Christians who will meet the Holy Spirit on His terms.

In this book, the author introduces the ministry of the Holy Spirit, how His power can transform us and why we should know Him in all His fullness, as an indwelling Person. Drawing from the powerful experiences of Rees Howells, Evan Roberts and many other influential servants of the Lord Jesus Christ, the author unveils the secrets of going deeper with God, and how to grow beyond being blessed by the Holy Spirit, to be filled with the fullness of God (Ephesians 3:19).

True and False Revivals Book
What is true revival and how can we tell the genuine from the false, the true from the spurious? With many preachers claiming to have ‘revival,’ some wanting to impart it into your life, with many evangelists, churches and conferences declaring they will have revival (so come and receive a touch) – what is the truth?

Revival Answers, True and False Revivals will answer these questions and many others, so we can discern genuine heaven-sent revival and not be deceived by a counterfeit. Many Christians who faithfully and persistently prayed for revival have rejected a move of God because they did not recognise it. Let us not be guilty of resisting the Holy Spirit, or condoning the flesh or the demonic.

Samuel Rees Howells: A Life of Intercession by Richard Maton
Samuel Rees Howells: A Life of Intercession Book
Rees Howells reached the pinnacle of his life of intercession during World War II, when God transformed world events through prevailing prayer. ‘Praying through’ with Rees, was his son, Samuel Rees Howells. Nearing his death in 1950, Rees Howells turned to Samuel and said, “Whatever you do, stand and maintain these intercessions.” For the next fifty plus years, Samuel was faithful to this commission as he developed as an intercessor and man of faith.

As the new director of the Bible College of Wales, Samuel led more than one hundred intercessors who had been trained under Rees Howells, to intercede whenever gospel liberty was threatened. Beginning with prayer for revival around the world, especially in China, Samuel’s intercessory battles led him to bind the strong man during the Korean War to the Cuban Missile Crisis and from the Six-Day War to the fall of the Berlin Wall.

ByFaith Mission Report - China

One of the GREAT needs in China is for Bibles. The Word of God in simplified Chinese, a full Bible inside China costs just £1.50 ($2.40) each at retail price but are tricky to obtain. China is home to the world’s largest printing Press, though the vest majority of Bibles are for export and the brethren inside China (especially House Church members) struggle to get the quantities they need. This is often from 100 to 100,000s per House Church and they have a very good network of ministry and outreach, within China and beyond, especially along the old Silk Road (between China and the Mediterranean) which encompasses the 10/40 window, of the least evangelised peoples of the world. House Churches are unregistered churches, often so because they cannot register, paperwork is too complex, they get fobbed off, or because the believers refuse to compromise and to be told what they can and cannot preach on.
