The post Is It of God? 2 Volume Bundle appeared first on Paul King Ministries.

Puzzled by supernatural manifestations? Tongues, prophecy, angels, visions, dreams, voices, mysticism, holy laughter, shaking, falling, and more!–How do we know what is from God? Is It of God? Volume 2 pracitically applies biblical discernment principles from Volume 1. Acclaimed by scholars.

“As a pastor and scholar, Dr. Paul King explores a variety of controversial topics modeling his discernment guidebook honestly and fairly showing us how Christians can have godly responses to perplexing situations. He asks the hard questions, exploring each topic in light of Scripture, church history, and principles of Holy Spirit enlightenment in order to exercise true spiritual discernment.”

Rev. Patrick A. Blewett, DMin, PhD, Dean, A.W. Tozer Theological Seminary

 

“Some Christians pursue wonders more than the Wonderful Counselor. Reacting in turn, some throw out the baby with the bathwater and dismiss God’s miracles or speaking today. The mandatory biblical solution, however, is discernment. Like the first volume of Is It of God?, this book is also richly informed by careful scholarship and the voices of spiritual leaders of the past. Paul King summons us again to this desperately needed task of practically applying careful spiritual discernment.”

CRAIG S. KEENER, PHD, F. M. and Ada Thompson Professor of Biblical Studies, Asbury Theological Seminary

 

“Dr. Paul King has shown excellent practical and biblical insight into the sometimes chaotic world of Pentecostal and charismatic expressions. He hits head-on the most controversial, even explosive, subjects in religious experience in the most balanced sure-footed manner, such as “Can a Christian have a demon?” or “true, false, and mixed prophecy,” or the “Kundalini spirit vs. the Holy Spirit,” and a variety of other issues that demand the serious, biblical examination that King provides.”

Jon Ruthven, PhD, Professor Emeritus, Regent University School of Divinity, author of On the Cessation of the Charismata and What’s Wrong with Protestant Theology.

“We live in a crazy world where Christians lack basic grounding in God’s Word. The result is a shallow version of Christianity that is a mile wide and an inch deep. We are tossed by winds of doctrine. We are rootless and unstable. We chase social media “prophets” and “super apostles” who can wow crowds with charisma but have no character. That is why this book had to be written. I am grateful that Paul King had the courage to write it.”

–Lee Grady, Mordecai Project, former editor of Charisma magazine

“One of the greatest privileges of my life was serving as a leader in the Brownsville Revival, and to this day, more than 20 years later, I meet people who were saved and transformed during this powerful move of God. Yet we must have something even greater today if our nation is to be changed. How, then, do we pursue revival without falling into deception? How can we distinguish between true and false moves of the Spirit? Paul King gives much food for thought and many practical guidelines to help us prepare for — and embrace — the next great outpouring. May the Lord hasten it in our day!”

–Dr. Michael L. Brown, Ph.D., President, FIRE School of Ministry, host of the Line of Fire broadcast.

“Reacting against Enlightenment anti-supernaturalism, some today lust for anything paranormal, and even some Christians pursue wonders more than the Wonderful Counselor. Reacting in turn, some throw out the baby with the bathwater and dismiss God’s miracles or speaking today. The mandatory biblical solution, however, is discernment. In this book richly informed by careful scholarship and the voices of spiritual leaders of the past, Paul King summons us to this desperately needed task.”

–Craig S. Keener, Ph.D. F. M. and Ada Thompson Professor of Biblical Studies, Asbury Theological Seminary

“Jesus and New Testament writers predict an onslaught of deception in the last days. Dr. Paul King’s latest book is, therefore, on time and on target.  Is it of God? will help the contemporary believer negotiate his/her way through the multiple voices claiming truth in our post-modern world.”

–Dr. Eddie L. Hyatt, America Reawakening, Grapevine, TX

“Thank you Dr. King, for your expertise, as a theologian, a pastor, a professor,  an author, and a wise discerning seeker. Thank you for this thoroughly researched, insightful, and much needed comprehensive book on “Discernment.” Your emphasis on balance in all areas, theologically, spiritually, and the “world, the flesh, and the devil” is excellent, thought provoking, inspired, and refreshing. This book will be enlightening for all, as it is always based on God’s Word and it is full of wisdom and challenge. It is a much needed resource in this present culture of confusion, fear, and New Age proliferation. It is clearly written so that we, as believers  will seek the Lord Jesus Christ first as our King of Kings, and  at the same time remain open with  wise discernment to understand and to experience the power and the gifts  of the Holy Spirit in our lives. BRAVO!”

–Judith King, LMSW, ACSW; Board member of Freedom in Christ Ministries , USA and International

“You have inspired me! It was your writing and passion that was part of God igniting a fresh spark in my soul. Bless you. I am delighted to endorse this training manual. You are gift to your Alliance family.”—Rev. David Hearn, President, The Christian and Missionary Alliance in Canada

“ I am very excited about Paul King’s new book about “Healing Communities.” In the early days of the C&MA, “Houses Of Healing” were a powerful part of our ministry. I hope this book will be used of God to spark an interest in this much-needed ministry, and give guidance to those led of God to launch into it. I urge everyone in Christian Ministry to read this book!”—Rev. Dick Sipley, Associate Evangelist, Canadian Revival Fellowship, Alliance pastor, author of Understanding Divine Healing

“Paul King is a wonderful Alliance historian. More than that he is passionate to see the original vision of the early Alliance leaders restored in our day. This analysis of healing homes is insightful and helpful. It is more than a history though. It is a helpful, practical guide on the practice of prayer for healing, and of our need to boldly pray for the healing ministry to become a common practice today. Read this to both learn and be refreshed.” —Rev. Dr. David Chotka, Chair, Alliance Pray!Team (C&MA Canada); Lead Pastor, Heritage Park Alliance Church (Windsor, Ontario); Conference Speaker; Author, Power Praying, Discerning The Voice, Sifting Our Discerning.

“Why stay in a pit when you can sit on a throne?” – Charles Spurgeon

“Dr. Paul King has masterfully brought together influential voices throughout church history who have experienced and written about the higher life in Christ, challenging us to live in the heavenlies with Christ. If you desire to see life in Christ empower your walk, worship, or spiritual warfare, you will find this powerful collection of insights indispensable.”

-Dr. Gary Benedict, President, The Christian and Missionary Alliance

“A great book, well-written, powerful! Dr. Paul King brings much-needed balance, bringing correction to the extremes of uncourageous faith without authority or power on one hand; and attempting to exercise authority, power, and faith without the holiness of imparted righteousness on the other. I highly recommend both the book and the man.”

-Randy Clark, Founder and President of Global Awakening and the Apostolic Network of Global Awakening

“Another life-changing book from Paul King! He brings us to the pinnacle of the Christian life with a privilege that is almost unimaginable and is the clearest expression of heaven on earth possible. . . . This is the book that will drive a person into the secret place without striving or religious agendas.”

-Bill Johnson, Author, When Heaven Invades Earth and Hosting the Presence
Bethel Church, Redding, CA
