Harboring The Spirit of Jezebel by Apostle Robert Summers

Any of you been battling the spirit of Jezebel? I have discovered that I have been battling the spirit of Jezebel probably my entire life! I have not had the knowledge in hand to know what to do about it and have basically been running away or avoiding it in order to deal with it. This book written by Apostle Robert Summers is quite eye opening and is chock full of facts as well as his own personal testimonies he has written to expose this spirit. It has helped me become even more aware of the tactics of this spirit and how it works and who it works with. I have had and still have this book on my nightstand. I have read/digested it in sections to fully be able to get it. Before I ordered this book I was shown someone I was dealing with as being a host of Jezebel in one area of my life. In yet another area of my life I was shown yet another Jezebel host and given a vision of her as being a spider with a huge web, out to draw in whom she may. When after ordering the book and upon receiving it I saw on the front cover a picture of a spider in a web! Confirmation to me that I had heard right to get this very book. I was not let down when I began to read the pages between the covers. At the very end of the book the author has taken the time to write out prayers you can pray to be delivered of the spirit of Jezebel and her co-horts as well as prayers for basic deliverance. This book is Biblically sound and worth the read. I have read other books on the subject of the spirit of Jezebel but this one hands down is the best one I have found and the one that has helped me the most. I have also ordered and received other materials by Apostle Robert Summers and I intend to order more. I recommend this book HIGHLY as well as his other materials. Apostle Robert Summers has been anointed by the Lord and given much insight in many different areas which he has written about or preached about. What he shares bears witness to my spirit man leaving me wanting for more. https://squareup.com/market/summers-ministries “Harboring The Spirit of Jezebel” by Apostle Robert Summers is my book of the year. The one that has made the biggest impact in my life and has helped me the most in my walk with the Lord. May the Lord bless you in your own personal walk with the Lord and may you receive greater knowledge and wisdom as you become further empowered to do the will of the Lord in your own life! In Jesus name I pray, amen.

My Breaking Point GOD'S Turning Point by Ricky Texada

This was an excellent read and one I highly recommend. The author Ricky Texada experienced unexpected loss in his life. Through the midst of the devastation Ricky found hope. He discovered that the loss he experienced was not the end, just the end of one chapter and that life does go on. I shared much of what I learned in this book with women from my bible study group. I encourage you, the reader to purchase this and read it as well. I imagine just about everyone could glean from the testimonies this author shares about how the Lord got him past his grief and on to joy in his future life. I received this book for free in exchange for a free book review from Bethany House publishers through their book review program. I was not required to write a favorable review.

People, Pigs & Principalities: The Reality and Power of the Supernatural in Your Life by Don Dickerman

This is a book written on the subject of Biblically based deliverance. Deliverance is something I have a personal interest and some experience in and I have not read a whole lot of books on this subject. The author, Don Dickerman, shares many testimonies about deliverance which I always love to read about. Don Dickerman also biblically backs what he shares. Don shares sound teachings written in a manner that is easy to digest. There were points made by the author that were eye-opening to me which explained how people end up getting hurt when stepping out in deliverance. Helped me to understand why I personally have gotten “into trouble” and for me it was out of ignorance. I believe many are doing things out of ignorance and things not Biblically based. Things need to line up with the Word of God. Reading this book has helped me see the error of my ways and I know it will help you as well. It is a good idea for all Christians to have some knowledge on this subject and then there are some who are called to be “specialists” in this field. Which are you? I wholly recommend this book to you! I received this book for free in exchange for a free book review from Charisma House Publishing through thebookteria.com book review program.

"Deliver Us From Evil" by Don Basham (1926-1989)

This book, “Deliver Us From Evil” by Don Basham (1926-1989) is not just a book of testimonies about deliverance...it is a text book to teach on this subject of deliverance. I say this because one can learn volumes by reading how the Lord moved in the life of Don Basham which caused him to enter into his calling as a minister of deliverance amongst other things. I love so many different things about this book. It is one of those “hard to put down” sort of books and why would you want to? This subject on deliverance is needed...is necessary..in order for God's people to be set free to be who they are called to be in Christ Jesus. I believe that every single believer ought to know about and be able to move/minister in deliverance. I do believe some are specifically called to be deliverance specialists so to speak, for lack of a better word. I loved how Don Basham shares how he tried not to talk on the subject of demons/deliverance because it would end up causing him troubles. This made me laugh out loud as I can relate! He found that even though he would try to keep his mouth shut on this subject, that people would still bring it up before him, showing him that this was indeed something the Lord had very much on His mind regarding ministry for Don Basham. Don had so many experiences and I am most appreciative that he wrote these testimonies out and a book was produced. I can't tell you how thankful I am for this and to the Lord for bringing this to light. The subject of deliverance/demons infesting God's people...is not a popular one around most conservative Christian tables and yet...you will find that almost everyone has a need for it. I have personally had similar experiences and testimonies as Don has had. It seems the ones who come down the hardest on the subject of deliverance and Christians having demons are the very ones who need deliverance. It was the Holy Spirit who brought all of this up to my own attention. One evening after praying for a woman during a meeting in my own home...and she received deliverance..no one was more surprised then I was. Another woman came up then asking if I would do deliverance on her. I told her I had not been trained and knew this could be dangerous. That night then after all had gone home I had prayed, “Lord...please show me what my gifts are and teach me how to use them.” Before I knew it...I was being led to attend a conference on deliverance and it was confirmed so clearly that I knew it was of the Lord. One thing always seems to lead to another. If you have an interest in this subject or are already involved in it then I suggest you get this book and feast on it. You won't be sorry. Even if you are a novice on deliverance I believe there are some things you will glean from it. I personally am thankful for this reminder of at least one thing I know I am called to do. This book brought me that reminder as well as confirmation to that fact. I am waking back up to get back on track in this area. Looking inward as well for anything that may be found lurking about to try to prevent me from moving forward in my own calling in Christ Jesus. Yes Lord...please do...Deliver Us From Evil....in Jesus name I pray...amen. I recommend this book...yes I do. I received this book for free in exchange for a free book review from CHOSEN Publishing through their book review program. I was not required to write a favorable review but how could I not, seeings as how this book was written in the Spirit of Excellence and delivers a message of TRUTH for God's people. Words written shall help to set the captives free and all in the name of JESUS. Amen.

Finding Spiritual Whitespace by Bonnie Gray

This book titled, “Finding Spiritual Whitespace” and written by Bonnie Gray has not just touched my heart it has changed my life. I so much wanted to hurry and get this book read so I could have my review written on time for the blog tour I signed up for...but...alas...it was not meant to be. I found I had to take my time as I read in order to receive the full affect the Lord was wanting me to have as I turned the pages. I had no idea what this book was really, truly about until I began to read and digest it's content. If I could I would say to the author, Bonnie Gray...I hear your heart. It is similar to my own. Bonnie Gray...you were able to express in words...the things you have gone through...in ways...I had not as yet seen. Such beauty in your expression of writing and in your words. As I read...it went straight in. I wept many times as I turned the pages. In part because of what you yourself have suffered...in part because of the parallel of my own sufferings as a child. How deep these wounds go and how long they last...they seem to become a part of us. The things the author shared about how her therapist helped her to deal with things that began to rise up...was so much the same as what the Lord recently took me through in my own personal journey. I connect with this author. I can relate to all she shares. Things she has gone through and is healing from bleed through her words in a cleansing sort of way. Reading this book has somehow made me feel understood and even though I have not met the author... I feel we have met. Reading this book for me has been a “God knows my heart, knows all I have been through. He understands it all even if I have no words to express the magnitude of it all or the impact that things have had on my life. He understands me. He “get's” me. Reading this book has caused me to feel...more healed...more whole...more content...more loved. This author is extremely gifted at writing. She has such a way with words. She also said the right words...those that I needed to hear. Bonnie Gray...you are a beautiful woman on the inside and out. You have a beautiful spirit. God has blessed you. To say that I recommend this book is an understatement. I received this book for free in exchange for a free book review from Revell Publishing. I was not required to write a favorable review.

The Spirit of Python by Jentezen Franklin

I first became aware of Jentezen Franklin while watching him on Christian t.v. It was at the beginning of the year, in January to be specific, and Jentezen was promoting fasting. As I am also a believer in fasting and living a fasted life, watching him share and teach on this subject was very encouraging. I believed at that time that this was what Jentezen's whole message/calling was on. I have also read two of Jentezen's books on fasting and believe it is a wonderful idea to keep a book on fasting by your side as you are practicing fasting. Now this book, The Spirit of Python.” Wow. As soon as I read the title I knew it was for me and that this was the right timing for me to read it. So I got it and I read it. I found this book to be easy to read and understand and HARD to put down. This book was written not just specifically for dealing with the spirit of python but for learning how to protect ourselves from all dealings from satan. You will learn the signs that the spirit of python is in action and what to do about it. You will learn how to create an atmosphere where the evil is not welcome so that in the future there will not be as much need for deliverance but it will be more of a maintaining. Jentezen talks about the power of prayer, faith, and praise and the armor of God in ways that will bring a refreshing to you in these areas. This book has helped me immensely. So much so that I have already bought two more of Jentezen Franklin's books. Reading this book is like adding a new weapon to your arsenal against satan and for the Kingdom of God! I have already been recommending this book to others and I recommend it to you. I received this book for free from Charisma House publishing in exchange for a free book review through the www.thebookteria.com book review program. I was not required to write a favorable review.

Between Heaven and Earth by Steve Berger

The author, Steve Berger, writes about how heaven became intensely personal to himself and his wife Sarah following the passing of their son Josiah. Josiah had died following a one-person car accident which they believe launched him into heaven. Steve writes about how that one moment in time when their son died forever changed them. This book was written extremely well and is Biblically sound. The topic? Heaven. Here is a list of the eleven chapters: 1. A Renewed Heavenly Vision 2. A Passion for Hard-Pressed Living 3. Heaven Is Our Real Home 4. Heaven Is Our Real Hope 5. A Glimpse of Heaven 6. What Will We Do in Heaven? 7. Heaven Is for Healing 8. Having Our Hands in the Harvest 9. The Power of Knowing God's Word 10. The Power of the Holy Spirit 11. The Rewards of Heaven Reading Steve's book, “Between Heaven and Earth” has changed some of my mind sets about how I ought to be living my life while here on the earth. The earth is but a temporal thing, but Heaven...is forever. Reading this book has also freed me up from constantly looking back to my past and life's past regrets knowing they really do not matter. What matters is where I am going and who I belong to...that being...Heaven...and Christ Jesus. I am encouraged having read this book especially in the light of the fact that I, myself, have lost loved ones and believe they too, have gone on to Heaven and are in the arms of our Lord. I recommend this book to you. I received this book for free in exchange for a free book review from Bethany House publishing through their www.bethanyhouse.com book review program.

All Heaven Will Break Loose by Joy Dawson

The first thing I would like to tell you about is the front and back cover of this book. It is strikingly beautiful in a simple and yet profound way and reflects the beauty of the words written inside of the book as well. It hit me again and again as I read this book how much the cover "fit" what was inside. I had not heard of this author before and am so glad I decided to give her writings a whirl. There is a depth and perception contained in her words that I feel could only come from our Lord. Joy is not a novice and the wisdom of her life experiences bleeds through her words. It touched me that she dedicated this book to her son who is also involved in the ministry. Joy also mentions her late husband, Jim, who she says released her to prioritize her time in the project of writing this book meaning he would have to take on a heavier load in other areas and all the while not complaining. Jim passed away before the book was published and I imagine the pain of his loss went into the writing of this book. If I were to tell you what the main jest of this book is I would say it would be about UNITY and FORGIVENESS. The author shares brilliant ways in which unity and forgiveness can be achieved. Some I have already tried and I can tell you it has worked for me. Something she suggests is, " We need to ask God to give us His supernatural ability to love and forgive everyone who has wronged us, and then receive it by faith." Joy offers practical ways of getting free and keeping free from all resentment. Who of us could not use such advice? Not me. I know I need this and will implement her ideas further. I like how Joy shares a nugget about what the upcoming chapter or even paragraph holds which alerts as to what to pay attention to. For example: "The next chapter illustrates the greatest team work in dynamic action that I have found anywhere in the Bible." Strong points she has made is that we are not meant to be so independent of one another and I quote," ...no one is meant to have it all. God evenly distributes it out to others so that we may be interdependent on Him through one another." This makes a whole lot of sense to me. I cannot even begin to tell you all that this book holds for if I were to do so it would spoil your joy in reading it for yourself. I have meditated upon much that I have read and highlighted it all over the place. I intend to keep this copy for my own personal library to refer back to. I recommend this book highly!

Appointments with Heaven by Dr. Reggie Anderson

If you read only one book this year than make it this one! I am awarding this book as my "NUMBER ONE BOOK OF THE YEAR." I won't take it back after reading other books either. I am not sure what I can even say that will give this book justice...words do not seem to describe it. That is usually how it goes when there is something of the Lord that has been revealed to you...it is hard to explain in words. As I read this book I found myself in tears over and over. I was just that touched by knowing these words, the experiences which the author describes, are from the Lord. I know because I have had my own experiences as well! I now look forward to future times with the Lord. I have had death bed experiences as has the author. I have been shown things as has the author..but in different ways. At the end of this book I wept for some time and could not go to sleep. I was touched deeply in a way that only God can do. Do I recommend this book????? Oh my...read it. You won't be sorry. If this book does not witness to your spirit man and you are skeptical of it being the real deal...then it obviously is NOT for you... It was/is for me and I will refer this book to many in the future. Thanks for writing this book Dr Reggie Anderson!!! I was deeply touched and my life has changed!!! God bless you and your lovely family!!! Hope to read more of what you write if you do write more...

Willing To Walk On Water by Caroline Barnett

I love everything about this book including the vibrant and beautiful colors and picture on the cover! I even love the “feel” of this book. For me, receiving and then reading this book was timely. It is an “on time” word for me in this current, anointed of God, season. This is a season for me where I need to be “Willing To Walk On Water” just as the title suggests. I am stepping out in obediance to our Lord in areas of ministry where I have not gone before. I cannot begin to tell you how greatly the author, Caroline Barnett, encouraged me through the words she wrote under the guidance and inspiration of the Holy Spirit. I really connected with this book. One of the reasons being, I have already heard about the Dream Center in California which the author speaks about quite frequently. I used to know a woman who told me she was a minister there and she spoke quite highly of it. Having this book in my hands is Divine...so it would seem. I will be adding this book along with others towards a collection which will become books for a future church library that I believe is in my future. I recommend this book strongly for those in all walks of Christianity but especially to those who know they have a calling in Christ Jesus and are about to step out on the waters with Him. You will be empowered, brought up and out...catapulted from those recliners of comfort zones and launched out into your destinies...this is what has happened to me anyway!!!

"A Time For Every Purpose Under Heaven" A Missions Memoir written by Chris Loehmer Kincaid

The reason I chose to read this book is because it is a “Missions Memoir” and I have an interest in missions work as well as in Africa itself. The title also attracted me....”A time for every purpose under heaven” which is one of my life's bible verses. I also like the front cover as it has a picture taken in Africa and gives one a glimpse of what it must be like to be there! I feel Holy Spirit drew me to this book and so no surprise that it not only held my interest but was one of those “I just can't seem to put it down” sort of books. This is a true story about a woman who ends up being led by God to go on a missions trip. It speaks of the details of her trip including how they washed and used the bathroom. It speaks of the ways of the people and the beauty at times in the scenery. I liked that the author shared things which “took you there” to Africa and being in her shoes. I've often imagined what it must be like to go to a place like Africa and now I feel as if I've been able to take a little peek into what it is like to do so. I have enjoyed reading this book and it has kept me wanting to know more...to read more... each night before going to bed. This is the first book I have ever read on missions work/ministry and I intend now to find and read more on this subject. I highly recommend it to you! I received this book for free from Life Sentence Publishing, LLC through the www.bookcrash.com book review program. I was not required to write a favorable review. Freely I have received and so freely I give.

Unglued Devotional by Lysa TerKeurst

I would like to say that I have completely read this entire devotional before posting my review. Alas, I have not. Reason being...a devotional needs to be read daily and time given to ponder and meditate upon that day's reading. Due to limited time during my days I like to spend the last minutes I have reading while I am in bed. What a luxury this is! Reading this devotional has been such a comforting read for me to go to sleep on. The things I have read so far...have made me feel good...made me feel better about myself and my limits as a human being. Has made me feel good in my spirit while still being in this body and yet on this earth. I feel we all need to read things like this devotional to lift ourselves up in the Lord. Last night's reading taught me not to feel guilty about my shortcomings or what I do not have but instead to celebrate what I do have!!! Indeed, the Lord has given us all different gifts and talents. None of us are the same. What I did not like about this devotional. I did not like that it was a paperback as feel devotionals ought to be hardcover. Why? Because you tend to keep devotionals around a whole lot longer as you can always start over and read it all again, and again and again. The paperback look and feel just did not do this devotional justice. I also did not like the word “unglued” for some strange reason. To the point of irritation. May just be me. All in all this is an exceptionally good devotional and one I recommend. Lord bless you...all His readers!

Draw The Circle by Mark Batterson

This being my second time of reading a book by Mark Batterson I can say that I would recommend any of his writings. This particular book has been one that you must read chapter by chapter. Meaning, only one chapter at one sitting. There is much to ponder and meditate upon. I have no doubt that the author has written using revelations the Holy Spirit has illuminated upon him. I don't feel as though I am reading what man has written...but reading what Holy Spirit has said. I do feel it would have been better to have already read “The Circle Maker” as the author refers back to this previous book quite frequently. (I have not read that one as yet) There are many testimonies shared here. Consider reading this or any of Mark Batterson's writings if you want to grow spiritually. Lord bless you in your walk with Him! I received this book for free in exchange for a free book review from the publisher, Zondervan, through the www.booksneeze.com book review program.

My Journey Beyond Being Catholic by Connie Limmex

I am often intrigued by testimonies of those who were Catholic and who were led by God to leave the Catholic faith. Reason being, I was raised as a Catholic and even had an uncle who was a priest and yet the Lord also led me out of the Catholic faith. This is not a story AGAINST being Catholic...it is a story of having a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and being led by His Spirit. The author states that one can have a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ and still be involved in many religions as the Spirit leads. (my words) This is my belief also. As I began to read I found myself in yet another one of those “I cannot put this book down!” type of writings. I could so relate to Connie Limmex as much that she shared is so similar to how the Lord has worked in my own life. There is so much the Lord wants to say through this author's words. One of the things the Lord has spoken to me is that I ought to begin to write my own book. This is not the first time this message has come across on this subject and I am waiting on the Lord for His guidance and direction. There is also a strong salvation message to the unsaved and I hope and pray that many will come to a saving knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ through this author's words. I really didn't like the front cover of this book at first sight. If you look at it quickly it looks like the title says, “My Journey Being Catholic.” When in reality it says, “My Journey Beyond Being Catholic.” As I looked more at it and took more time I found I liked it a whole lot. It's not really a very big book. Only 116 pages in all. But ya know...sometimes you want a shorter book that is easy to read...both of which this book is. Lighter reading so to speak and yet the Lord speaks measures through the pages. I am thinking now of all who I would like to lend this book out to. For one, is one of my younger sisters. This book reminds me that we still ought to be witnessing to the unsaved and sharing our testimonies with them as to how the Lord has changed our own lives from “black to white.” I totally recommend this book.
