In the Old Testament, when a man became king, he was anointed. God has set aside His man as a special appointed, ordained, anointed man. He was anointed by the Spirit of God for a task. When a man became a prophet, he was also anointed. When a priest was ordained, he was anointed with oil. King, prophet, and priest were the three major offices of the Bible. All of those who were appointed for office had oil poured on them. Oil pictured the "oil of gladness" or the "oil of influence" or the "oil of the Spirit of God" or the "Spirit of God." With every new work and with every great task that God wants man to accomplish, God also wants to equip that man with a fresh anointing. The purpose of this book is to challenge every Christian to seek the fullness of the Holy Spirit for all the work God has given him to do.

A Fresh Anointing

Marriage: The Divine Intimacy

Depression is a fact of life for everyone, and depression is precipitated by singular invents in the life of every individual. The book of Job is a textbook case to teach us about our own emotions and feelings and how to deal with them. Depression comes to some because they have a greater capacity for highs, and that brings a greater capacity for lows. Quite possibly, the person who is presently experiencing deep depression is giving God incredible ammunition to use against the Devil. That person's life has been judged worthy for God to mention his name to Satan. God does not want the Christian to live a life of despair. When God gives a burden that seems too heavy to bear, He is also providing the Christian with the tool for him to live for others. Depression ends when the child of God starts living for others.

Walking Through the Valley of Depression and Grief

Death & Grief

People must gain an understanding of some of the complex issues facing them in life and find a scriptural remedy for these issues. Troubled pasts affect every relationship in life, and vicious cycles of abuse and neglect spawn often even more abuse and neglect. Man's lack of understanding of how to deal with these issues destines many to cycles of repetitive behavior. This bondage must be broken by healing the many inner hurts which life has dealt some people and the providence of God has allowed. Those who inflict the most hurt on other people are often hurting the most. Holding on to hurt is like binding the victim to the perpetrator with invisible chains. This book approaches these situations with a pastor's wisdom and a Biblical remedy.

This manual is devoted to teaching spiritual people how to mentor and counsel people to stop the bleeding, suture the wound, and manage the scars. A church must develop a program to make as many people as possible capable of helping other church members build Biblically stable homes. Counselors must study to become comfortable and competent within the Scriptures so they can help other people solve their own basic problems. Few things will keep a man on his toes and stir him to spiritual action more than having to teach the Bible to others. A counselor will learn much about the Christian life if he is helping other people with their problems. People need to get plugged into Christ and the Word of God so that they can deliver themselves from their problems and then mentor other people.
