SPIRITUAL DNA TO CHANGE THE WORLD #relentless #sacrificial #loveIn the late 1990s, a Nazirite movement of prayer, passion and radical consecration seized the youth of America, and touched the globe. The book that started it all was Nazirite DNA, by Lou Engle. One night, after working closely with Lou for many years, Dean Briggs dreamed about another revolution that was coming. The next Nazirite movement would build upon the first, but be centered around sacrificial love. In five short chapters, Longhairs Rising freshly explores the heart of young Nazirites by revealing: How love, passion and prayer help young people build a life of significanceHow receiving divine love is the first step to giving it away The unique strength and personality-shaping power of vows made in response to loveThe radical, sacrificial courage of God's End Time "agape army"The difference between faith and love to achieve the impossible, and overcome allEven now, Heaven has begun giving chase to the next generation of daring God-lovers. Longhairs Rising is a field manual for these wild ones. Easily read in an hour or less, it could brand your soul forever. Those who answer the call

Fullness is dullness. Hunger is passion. Sometimes we need a personal reboot. We need a "burning bush" encounter, one close enough to feel the heat. Life has a way of growing cluttered, feeling dull. Modern society is so full of stuff-busy schedules, buffet lines, gadgets-that we've forgotten the discipline of denial. We don't remember how to hunger, therefore we've forgotten how to be filled. Yet Jesus promised the opposite: if we hunger and thirst for righteousness, then we will experience fullness. And nothing rekindles the inner fire like fasting. Drawing inspiration from Psalm 40 and Isaiah 40, Consumed is written in simple, encouraging language, composed day-by-day during the author's own forty day fast. Thus, the insights come to you in "real time" - exactly what you need for each day, like a friend who knows how to speak to your heart. Each brief, daily devotional helps to focus the soul in a posture of humility and repentance for the ultimate goal of personal renewal. Have you lost direction, focus, vibrancy? The ancient solution is to give yourself to an extended, 40-day fast. Don't worry...you can do it Consumed also features: Nuggets of wisdom from ancient and modern church fathersPractical advice for managing your fastSimple, daily guidance from physicians to maximize and safeguard your healthSpace to journal your reflections each dayMedical insights into the benefits of fasting; also specific recommendations for structuring and ending your fast.

Burn again with love for God. Be consumed

JESUS IS BUILDING SOMETHING FARGREATER THAN A SUNDAY SERVICEFill in the blank: "Upon this rock I will build My ________?" For generations, we have been taught that Jesus promised to build His "church" in Matthew 16:18, so we've dutifully tried to build the church with Him. But there's a big problem: that's not the word He used. Instead, He announced something far more potent: "I will build My ekklesia "A motherlode of identity and mission separate church and ekklesia. If Jesus gave His disciples authority and keys to bind and loose, it means we have been put on offense, so why are we stuck on defense? If we are built to soar in heavenly places with real authority in prayer, then why does our mission often feel grounded on the launch pad? In Ekklesia Rising, you'll learn to soar with: The DNA of ekklesia: how revelation produces dominionThe "keys" Christ gives, and how to receive and use themThe divine design of mature masculine authority with fervent bridal loveThe role of the Divine Council in heaven and on earthThe inner constitution of contending, covenantal communitiesThe powerful symphony of agreementMake no mistake, Jesus will build His ekklesia. His Father's house will be a "House of Prayer for All Nations." For hundreds of years, we have been the church. Finally, let us become His ruling ekklesia.
