When God directed me to preach the series of messages on which this book is based, my own personal ministry was flourishing. I was operating in far more power than ever before and seeing God manifest Himself in healing, deliverance, break throughs and blessing. Yet He told me, "When you preach this, your church will be changed and will move into a new level of effectiveness in the Kingdom" It is time for the people of God to step forth in all that the empowerment of the Anointed One represents. It is time for the release of a new mantle of the anointing upon us, time for the entire Church of the Lord Jesus Christ to begin walking, speaking and operating in a demonstration of the empowerment of Almighty God. It is time for us to step forth fearlessly, knowing that we are totally empowered to fulfill the cal God has placed upon us in this hour.
