Erlo Stegen speaks a powerful word on failure in preachers and calling ministers to be lights in the evil dark world. Why is it so dark in the world? Because many stars have fallen, the preachers of the Gospel have fallen. Ministers and preachers are being caught in evil things. It is getting dark in the world. It seems as if the sun is indeed going down. It seems as if we’re coming to the end of the world and the end of time. We read that in the last days it will indeed go difficult, and that the powers of heaven will be shaken (Matt 24:29).

Bill Mcleod clearly deals with the subject of the occult in this message. He exposes much of the practices that Christians are involved in and shows how to get biblical deliverance. This is a great message to burn and hand out to those you feel could be involved in any areas of occult.

With all the emphasis on ‘revival’ presently occurring, Art examines what true revival should lead to, namely, a mode of apostolic understanding that identifies with and embraces the imminent coming Kingdom—the rule of God in the earth. The message touches on the subject of spiritual authority and sonship.

Accommodate means to adapt, to make suitable and acceptable, to make convenient. A gospel of accommodation is creeping into the United States. It's an American cultural invention to appease the lifestyle of luxury and pleasure. Primarily a Caucasian, suburban gospel, it's also in our major cities and is sweeping the nation, influencing ministers of every denomination, and giving birth to megachurches with thousands who come to hear a nonconfronting message.

Sandeep Poonen ministers on a vital passage concerning the last days and those who are loving self more then loving God. He clearly shows that we can be deceived into this loving of self through many ways which exclude mercy and cherishing God's Son. This is an important message for us to consider as we are living close to the time of the appearing of our Lord. We are a bride waiting for Jesus the Bridegroom.

Leonard Ravenhill shares on the Holy Spirit and some of the groups in Christendom that speak of the Spirit but not the reality of a person made holy in experiencing Him. The Holy Spirit is a person, not a doctrine, experience or idea. The Holy Spirit will transform the life, He is the indwelling person of God in us. Jesus died to transform your personality and not just forgive your sins.

The word holy at it's very core means 'cut' or seperate, God is so far beyond what we think He is like that we cannot truelly concieve of how what He truelly is. In christianity today we have such a small God that bares little resemblence to the high and lofty One that inhabits eternity. The Lord said to Moses 'I am that I am' meaning that there is no-one like Him, unlike us when He looks about He see's none like Him, except for a Carpenter who walked the earth 2000 Years ago. The essence of seperation (holiness) is not what we are seperated from but what or in this case Who, we are seperated to. There is no point seperating ourselves from the world if we don't then seperate ourselves unto God.

Brother Edward Miller shares about the breaking of God in the life of the Christian. He speaks of how God needs to break saints in all areas of their live so that the Spirit of God can have full sway and power in our life. Tears are the response to God that we have been broken, sensitive to His work and will. A challenging message for personal revival and Holy Spirit surrender.

Dating from late 1982 and given to a Canadian gathering, this sermon is a cry against the shallow, me-first "gospel." The true Gospel of repentance and intimacy is presented forcefully: "some of the greatest men the world has ever seen are going to stand there [the judgment] naked and have nothing." The starting point is the text of Isaiah 59 and 60. (The powerful file "Another Gospel" is taken from the middle portion of this sermon.)

Denominationalism is a prison for many and the spirit of this many need to be freed from. This sermon points out how the denominational spirit is the same that impelled the Pharisee's to emphasize their spiritual purity due to their Abrahamic pedigree. Brother Zac makes a strong case for the building of local bodies that are not connected through denominational structures that have leadership that use and abuse the sheep, but are overseen by truly spiritual brothers.
