	What is prophecy? Who is to prophesy? Is it right to seek prophecy? Since we have the Bible for guidance, do we really need prophecy today? How do the prophetic gifts and ministries function in the local church? Why do we need prophets if all God’s people are able to hear His voice? Can a true prophet miss a prediction?

	Surprised by the Voice of God takes you to the Bible to discover the variety of creative, deeply personal ways God still communicates with us today. You’ll learn how God speaks with people apart from the Bible, though never in contradiction to it. Jack Deere first describes the ways God revealed his thoughts to first-century Christians. Then he tells why God continues to speak to us using the same methods. Finally Deere tells how accurately God speaks through prophecies, dreams, visions, and other forms of divine communication. With candor, sensitivity, and a profound understanding of Scripture, Deere identifies our hindrances to hearing the Holy Spirit and calls us beyond them to a more intimate relationship with God. Filled with fascinating stories and personal accounts, Surprised by the Voice of God is for all who want to walk in the dynamic scope of Christianity.
	The prophetic movements in church history and in contemporary life are fed by two mighty streams: the prophet, whose revelation is primarily verbal, and the seer, whose revelation is more visionary in nature. While the role of the prophet is familiar, less is known about the seer dimension…How does visionary revelation “happen?” Can it be trusted? Where does it fit into the life of the church today? Can any believer become a seer, or is this a prophetic dimension reserved for the specially-gifted? The Seer answers these questions and will move your heart and stir up your hunger for intimacy with God, because The Seer’s goal is to reveal the man Christ Jesus!
	This sequel to Prophets and Personal Prophecy is packed with the same kind of cutting instruction that made the first volume a best-seller. Prophetic insights, how-to’s, and warnings make this book essential for the Spirit-filled church.

	…why don’t more Christians experience spiritual victory and power? Chuck D. Pierce says it’s because we spend more time licking our wounds than we do studying Satan’s sniper strategies so that we can find the shooter. The key to overcoming our enemy is to become more shrewd in recognizing his strategies, to pray in specific ways that help us to overcome Satan’s attacks, and to wear the armour described in Ephesians 6. As we learn to pray with power and authority prayers of submission, confrontation, faith, wisdom, breakthrough and more, we can larn to outwit the enemy of our souls.

The purpose of this book is to draw the church’s attention to these areas; help each individual determine his or her specific assignment in this mission; and then to offer insight into the nature of the battles…[He] provides intensive, detailed study of each “mountain” of influence, how it will be taken and by whom, and what resistance will be encountered by individuals assigned to claim this mountain.

	Informed Intercession will help Christians and church leaders develop strategic prayer strategies for their cities-to see their towns transformed for the kingdom of God. The principles of spiritual mapping and strategic prayer are simple-and biblical…spiritual mapping is “an attempt to see your city as it really is, not what it appears to be.” The goal is to push back the demonic darkness by identifying strongholds, attacking these areas with concentrated prayer, then infiltrating vanquished enemy’s domain with the good news of Jesus Christ. Spiritual mapping is a means to an end: to move beyond breakthrough into complete transformation for your city or region.

Power Encounters	Author Francis Frangipane tells us that the call of God is a call to war. An enemy lurks at our gates, and one of his first lines of attack is often a spirit of heaviness, which causes Christians to become passive. As a result, they do not pray with authority against the enemy, rendering themselves defenseless in the unfolding battle. Backed by experience and delivered with passion, Frangipane’s timeless message equips believers to receive a fresh anointing from the Holy Spirit–an anointing that will activate the “war mode” in their hearts. We stand at the cusp of a major spiritual awakening in our land, and this is no time for surrender. No, this day we fight!
	Composed of archaic traditions and obsolete practices, and masterminded by the enemy of our souls, the spirit of religion seeks to keep individual believers and the corporate church stagnant and unaware of the call of the Holy Spirit for change. We witnessed the spirit of religion when the Pharisees failed to recognize the coming of the Christ. Today, the spirit of religion can be so subtle that we are unaware of its impact, instead being deceived into believing that God is directing us. Only when we recognize the hold that this counterfeit religion has over Christianity can we be freed to experience the transformation of the Holy Spirit in our lives and in the heart of the Church.
	…our purpose here is to help equip you for battle in each of the three primary battlegrounds: the mind, the church and the heavenly places… A few of you will be instrumental in actually saving your cities. Our prayer is that these chapters will help and equip you for that goal.

But there was found in it a poor wise man and he delivered the city by his wisdom” (Eccl. 9:14-15). While many are predicting the destruction of our nation and the collapse of our cities, they have not considered the power of Christ in you.
