How a tiny seed can contain all this is a great mystery; but we know that the life is in the seed. In Genesis 1:11, we read about the original process that God es- tablished in creation: "God said, 'Let the land produce vegetation, seed-bean'ng plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it.'" God has purposed that His fruit have seed in it. Whether plant life, animal life or Christian life, its fruit ought to have seed in it. In other words, our fruit should contain the means to re- produce itself. The seed is the remnant of the fruit and there- fore the remnant of the harvest, for as we know, God will always have a remnant when every age is harvested. Our desire should be, by the grace of God, to be a rem- nant, a part of God's seed for the planting of the new generation. One of the mysteries of the seed is that it can lie dormant for many years and still, under the right circumstances, sprout into life. When a seed is in a sterile or hostile environment, it remains a seed.

The result of this false emphasis caused the Church to react critically against any who would seek to use the gifts. These groups emphasized the gift of prophecy, however, there is no documentation of any speaking in tongues. Montanus said that “after me there would be no more prophecy, but rather the end of the world” (Philip Schaff, History of the Christian Church, Vol II, p. 418). Since his prophecy was not fulfilled, it is obvious that he was a false prophet (Deut . 18:20-22). Because of his stress on new revelations delivered through the medium of unknown utterances or tongues, he said that he was the Comforter, the title of the Holy Spirit (Eusebius, V, XIV).

A LITTLE HISTORY: THE SHEPHERDING MOVEMENT. “What experience and history teaches us is that people and governments have never learned anything from history, or acted on principles deduced from it.” Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770 - 1831). According to the New International Dictionary of Pentecostal and Charismatic Movements the Shepherding Movement (sometimes known as the Discipling Movement) emerged as a ‘distinct nondenominational movement’ in 1974.1 In 1970 a group of four Charismatic Bible teachers met together in response to a ministerial impropriety at the Holy Spirit Teaching Mission (HSTM).2 The four were Bernard (Bob) Mumford, ordained through the Assemblies of God; Derek Prince, another Pentecostal; Don Basham, an ordained Disciples of Christ minister; and Charles Simpson, originally a Southern Baptist. The men were already frequent contributors to New Wine magazine, published by the HSTM, and soon to become the biggest selling Charismatic periodical in the United States.3 The four decided to mutually submit to one another and to hold each other accountable, and it was through New Wine that the peculiar teachings of the Shepherding Movement were emphasised and promoted: authority, submission, discipleship, commitment in covenant relationships, loyalty, pastoral care, and spiritual covering.

  • Mass Deliverance Manual (Updated)
    Preface This book is made available online and in printed form in the interest of teaching that mass deliverance is available to everyone and to teach you how to do it. We think it will be good introductory material based on the teachings of Win Worley. Win Worley had a deep understanding of the demonic and how demons operate in our lives and he had a powerful revelation for casting them out massively. So the following is a basic manual for getting started in self- deliverance or for sharing with others to minister mass deliverance, together with some excerpts of his writings and sermons. We pray God will use this manual to bring healing and deliverance which are so much needed today both in the church and the world.

Most direct is the contribution of the 20 Charismatic believers who shared their lives with me. Their stories were freely told to me most often in the comfort of their homes or offices where they always grac­ iously welcomed me. My gratitude is therefore extended to them for chiefly constituting this research effort. To Ed Arquitt, my major adviser and good friend, I owe many thanks; he deserves special acknowledgment. He allowed his graduate student appreciated freedom in examining this topic, and yet he was always there with skilled guidance and apt criticisms. Beyond invaluable editing, his personal encouragement and consistent enthusiasm contributed to the completion of this work. I am also indebted to Dr. Gene Acuff, Dr. Ed Webster, and Mrs. Lorene Keeler for their contribution as members of my dissertation advisory committee.

  • Spiritual Warfare” in the Anglican Charismatic Renewal
    The Church Militant: A Study of “Spiritual Warfare” in the Anglican Charismatic Renewal by GRAHAM RUSSELL SMITH A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR of PHILOSOPHY School of Philosophy, Theology and Religion College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham July 2011 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation. Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged. Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. ABSTRACT This thesis uses a practical-theological methodology to explore the theology and spirituality of „spiritual warfare‟ that developed in the charismatic renewal from the 1960s. Beginning with a study of twelve charismatic Anglican pioneers, a detailed case study then explores spiritual warfare praxis in a charismatic Anglican congregation. The ensuing theological reflection focuses on the ontology of evil, through dialogue with Nigel Wright, Amos Yong, and Gregory Boyd, as well as Karl Barth and Walter Wink. The thesis argues for a positive ontology for evil powers, based on a charismatic hermeneutic of biblical texts; on the grounds that Jesus treated Satan and demons as real spiritual entities, the Pauline epistles refer to real evil spiritual powers in the heavenly realms, and charismatic experience supports this ontology.

  • SPIRITUAL POWER by Don Basham
    SPIRITUAL POWER How to Get It – How to Give It! By Don W. Basham INTRODUCTION A few years ago, the author of this book was the speaker at the monthly Full Gospel Business Men’s Fellowship chapter meeting in Greensburg, Pennsylvania, near Pittsburgh. The Greensburg FGBMFI chapter is a strong chapter and well attended. On that March night there were nearly 700 people present. Don Basham began his message with some personal testimony. But in a matter of minutes, the Holy Spirit led him into presenting almost word for word the message this book contains. Although he spoke primarily to those who had already received the baptism to encourage them in ministering to others, nevertheless, at the end of the meeting, an invitation was given for any who might be seeking the baptism in the Holy Spirit to retire to an adjoining room for prayer. The simplicity of the teaching, combined with the confidence with which Don Basham spoke, had created an expectancy on the part of the people which enabled the Holy Spirit to move with great effectiveness and power. The response to the invitation was overwhelming, and the prayer room quickly filled with people. There they heard the simple instructions contained in chapter five of this book. Then, when prayer was offered, it was like the day of Pentecost all over again. Almost immediately, over 100 people began praising God in other tongues. We believe the publication of the basic message presented that night will also be mightily used of God to further the twentieth century Pentecost of which we are a part.

  • US Catholic Charismatics and Their Ecumenical
    religions Article “Pray Aggressively for a Higher Goal—The Unification of All Christianity”: U.S. Catholic Charismatics and Their Ecumenical Relationships in the Late 1960s and 1970s Valentina Ciciliot Department of Humanities, Ca’ Foscari University of Venice, 30123 Venezia, Italy; [email protected] Abstract: In July 1977, 50,000 Christians from different backgrounds and traditions converged on Kansas City to participate in the Conference on Charismatic Renewal in the Christian Churches. Catholic charismatics played a key role in its organization, relying on all their ecumenical contacts built since the origins of the Catholic Charismatic Renewal (CCR) in 1967 at Duquesne University in Pittsburgh (PA). If the Kansas City conference represented the zenith of a shared unified vision for all charismatic Christianity, it also showed the emergence of the crisis which affected Catholic charismatic communities and their connection with Rome. This paper will explore U.S. Catholic charismatics’ relationships with other Christian denominations and groups in the initial development of the CCR, particularly in structuring Catholic charismatic communities, and their ecumenical perspectives in the tension between needs for legitimization (by the Vatican) and needs for self-expression.
