Walk in the Spirit "God has placed inside each one of us a spiritual dream. It's what God has breathed into us-a little bit of Himself. And it's that part that is calling us unto Him." So states Jamie Buckingham in this remarkable recounting of his own personal journey with the Holy Spirit. From his strict moral upbringing through his salvation experience, his "dark pit" days as a disgraced Southern Baptist pastor, and his highly successful writing career, Jamie shares how God broke down his resistance to the baptism of the Holy Spirit and taught him how to be led by the Spirit day by day. With characteristic transparency, humor, and insight, he uses his own story to encourage each one of us to discover our unique identity, purpose, and power-to realize our God-given dream through a personal experience with the Spirit of God. Reminiscing on Jamie's life and ministry is like walking through a magnificent museum where marvels of accomplishment shine in seemingly endless array. When the history of our era is written, Jamie Buckingham's place will most certainly be noted with distinction-and with praise to God. -JACK HAYFORD, pastorJamie touched multitudes of people, both those in the body of Christ and those not. He touched everyone, even children, with his uncommon sermons, his stories, his reminiscings-with his totally honest and unaffected approach. -ORAL ROBERTS, healing evangelist

Daughter of DestinyKathryn's life helped to reestablish a value that has not been the norm for a long time. This is the power of the gospel, burning in us, yearning to be released. May we be forever marked as people for God's glory, and live inspired by this Daughter of Destiny. -Bill Johnson, Bethel Church, Redding, CA Author of Born for Significance and The Way of LifeWherever Kathryn Kuhlman went, people who once thought miracles impossible learned to believe in miracles. Before she died, she asked that only Jamie Buckingham be allowed to write her official biography-withholding nothing. Here, then, is the story, not of a plaster saint, but of a very human woman-of marriage and divorce, of betrayal by those she trusted, of the shadowy events that surrounded her death. It is the story of Kathryn Kuhlman that few knew, as she wanted it told-all of it. It is the story of the redhead from Missouri who became the foremost woman evangelist of the 20th century. Enhanced with personal photographs from Kathryn's family album, illustrating her life story. It is impossible to write about Kathryn Kuhlman without writing about God. Her life was not her own. In a very real way, she was a daughter of destiny. Chosen. Ordained to be His special handmaiden. -Jamie Buckingham

This book of reflections on life was written very early in Jamie Buckingham's career as a writer. The majority of these stories grew out of a series of daily radio commentaries over Station WCRS, Greenwood, South Carolina, when Jamie was a young, but "senior" pastor at the South Main Street Baptist Church from 1959-1966. "After each recording, the manuscripts fell back into my dusty files," he wrote years later. "They would have stayed there forever had it not been for a friend and author, Irene Harrell, from Wilson, North Carolina." This was supposed to have been Jamie's first book, but events overtook its publication, and five other books were published first, including his very first book, Run Baby Run, and other books written for Kathryn Kuhlman, including God Can Do It Again. Some Gall's 67 sharply drawn sketches are not only good reading but thought-provoking as well. Filled with insight, they are prefaced by relevant scripture and conclude with a very personal prayer, reflecting the down-to-earth spirituality of a man who sought God's message in his day-to-day life. Jamie characterized himself as "a rebel, fighting against the sameness and traditionalism of the establishment" for as long as he could remember. He viewed writing as an opportunity to express himself in ways more lasting that preaching three sermons a week, which he continued to do with great enthusiasm until his death in 1992.

God loves you. And if you will let Him, He will not only direct your path, but He will give you power to live. That's what this book is all about: Power for living. Let God give you power, not only to live, but to live abundantly. The prophet Isaiah said it best: "Those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint (Isaiah 40:31). Our problem is we are trying to do life in our own strength, and it's not enough. We need God. We need His Son, Jesus. And with God's strength working within us, we can have power for living.

Healing is at the very heart of the gospel of Jesus Christ. The Lord manifested Himself-He made Himself known-through healing. Why healing? Because that is where God's heart is. God's heart is toward suffering people. Jesus didn't countermand medicine. He just went beyond it. This book, taken from a teaching by Jamie Buckingham, explains why the healing power of Jesus is still relevant for our lives today. As Jamie states, those who truly desire to move with God will eventually come to understand that God cares for us and wants to heal us. Jamie also discusses what the Scriptures say about people who refuse to believe that God still heals. Many Christians don't understand that the miracles of Jesus are still for us today. But the command has never changed-God's people are still called to minister healing and deliverance, just as Christ instructed in Matthew 10: "As you go, preach this message: The kingdom of heaven is near. Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy, drive out demons. Freely you have received, freely give."

There is a curtain on the invisible world. Yet, there are times when God raises the curtain and we are permitted to see beyond the veil into the spiritual world. What is beyond is marvelous. Angels are all around us, and they are standing ready to fight our spiritual battles for us. All we need to do to activate them is to pray. When we pray, God mobilizes the angelic forces, and suddenly the battle is no longer ours. The battle is the Lord's. In this little book, Jamie Buckingham tells of the importance of prayer in his life. He then relates the story of the prophet Elisha and how, when the curtain to the spiritual world was raised, he viewed a multitude of angelic forces prepared to battle his enemies. Prayer was the key to activating those angels. And prayer remains the key to activating angelic forces on our behalf today.

Each chapter in this book lends itself to the spiritual growth of the believer. Are you aware that you will very likely encounter false teachers? This book will help show you how to discern and deal with them. We are to know our position in the kingdom of God, utilizing the authority and dominion He has returned to us through Jesus Christ. We are to be diligent and avoid deceptive teachings and avoid the wiles of Satan as he continually attempts to tempt us, to draw us away from our loving heavenly Father. We all need to better understand our need for inner healing so we can handle the frustrations in life, the disappointments in life, and not let them derail us from growing in spiritual maturity in our relationships with others and with Christ. And finally, we should fully understand and utilize the tools and spiritual gifts God provides us, through the filling of the Holy Spirit, so we can stand in these last days, not in our own power, but in the power of the Holy Spirit. As you read through this book, my prayer is you will hear from the heart of God as He continues to reach out and speak to his beloved Church, His people, His called out ones, as we rapidly approach the return of the King. As I was preparing these sermons and editing them for publication, I was struggling with a title for the book. The old cassette tapes I discovered of my father's messages, were not labeled, except for the individual sermons, which I have maintained as the chapter titles in the book. As I was working on the transcriptions, preparing them for final publication, I was re-reading a book passed over to me by my wife, Michele. The book was by Francis Frangipane titled, The Days of His Presence (Arrow Publications, 1995). In one chapter Frangipane references a scripture from Isaiah in which the prophet Isaiah is proclaiming that the Spirit of God is telling his people what to expect in the last days. Arise, shine; for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you. For, behold, darkness will cover the earth, and deep darkness the peoples; but the Lord will rise upon you, and His glory will appear upon you. And nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising (Isaiah 60:1-3 NAS). As I read this verse, I sensed that this is essentially what this book is about-helping prepare the church for the return of Christ. Perhaps Frangipane said it best when he stated, "God is qualifying us to receive His splendor Do not fear or think of yourself as unworthy-of course you are We all are. It is for His glory that we are being prepared." Indeed nations shall come to His light and kings to the brightness of His rising. Bruce Buckingham, Risky Living Ministries.

We all face death. It is inevitable. The Scriptures say that life is a mist that appears for a little while then vanishes. The fact is, life as a Christian is a process of learning not only how to live, but how to get ready to die. What's the key? The way to get ready to die, Jamie Buckingham states, is to simply die ahead of time. The way to get ready for the casket is to go by way of the Cross. The way to get ready for eternal life is to lay down your life here on earth. Only then will you be able to face not only the challenge of dying, but also the challenges of living. As a Christian, life becomes a great adventure the moment you recognize that you are already dead to the world-and alive in Christ Death is our enemy, but it has been conquered. We have nothing to fear in Christ. In the resurrection of Jesus, death has lost both its strength and power. When we are released from this body there is something far greater waiting for us than what we have ever known on earth. Life is temporal, eternity is forever.

Do you want to hear from God, but you have trouble discerning His voice in your life? Do you want to obey the commands of God, but you don't have the power to do so on a daily basis? Do you want to be able to stand in the Last Days, but you don't know if you have what it takes? In this booklet, taken directly from one of his sermons, Jamie Buckingham provides answers to these questions and more. Using Hebrews 10 as his text, Jamie addresses several essential principles that determine our capacity to hear God, obey Him, and live according to His perfect plan and purpose.

Jamie Buckingham shares how the weights in this life, like the weights on a grandfather clock, keep us moving in the right direction. Without them, we may stop seeking God's guidance, or just stop altogether. Jamie states that when God molds and shapes a person, He will often place weights on them - burdens in their life that they must bear, crosses for them to carry, hardships to endure. It's amazing how fruitful our most serious disappointments can be if we will simply let God lead us in the process.
