Charles Capps teaches how God sees you, in His own image, and how that image God puts in His Word is the image you should have of yourself. This is so important, since it has been proven that what or who you imagine yourself to be determines your fate in life. Your self-image can carry you to heights of success or plunge you into the depths of defeat and despair. 

The heart is true to the demands placed on it. Surely no one would be foolish enough in natural things to argue with you when you turn the thermostat to 70 degrees, but they will when you set your goal on God's promises. Hope, like a thermostat, is simply a goal-setter with no substance. Faith, which comes from the heart, is the substance of what you desire.

“Many of the breakthroughs in Scripture would not have happened if the people hadn’t declared what God told them to declare.” In this excerpt from God Is Good by Bill Johnson, prayer and declarations are defined as profound, fundamental elements of the Christian walk toward knowing how good God really is.

“We must declare the goodness and faithfulness of God even in the midst of our trial - even before we have an answer.” This portion of the supernatural power of a transformed mind not only reveals how powerful worship is when warring in the spiritual realm, it arms you with supernatural powers that assure victory.

Times of disaster are unavoidable. We don’t get to choose whether or not to live in such times. We can only choose what to do with the time that we live. Will we let fear and darkness overwhelm us, or will we choose to shine the light of hope? In Hope in Any Crisis, pastor and best-selling author Bill Johnson reveals the powerful divine protection offered to you as a believer, three responses you can experience in times of uncertainty, and your responsibility to have hope in all things.

In this book, Charles Capps shows you how to look at things which are not seen with the eyes of your spirit and change the world around you. Your words create images inside you. When you speak forth these words in faith, you will see circumstances change in the natural realm. Faith-filled words framed this world. The Word of God will frame your world if you speak it.

Measure the amount of the Word of God within you - that is the measure of your faith! When the Word of God gets inside you, it creates an image in its own kind. When that image is perfected inside you, then you have faith. Charles Capps has written this powerful and anointed book to instruct you in how to perfect that image of faith inside you to help you increase your faith. You have faith, but in order to fully receive from God, you must learn how to act on it and learn what speaking the Word of Faith really means.

If you are like many Christians, when the going gets rough, you may have more faith in someone ele's prayers than in your own. We all know people who seem to consistently receive God's blessing, while we may seem to always be struggling just to stay afloat. Why does God seem to bless some people more than others? Has he given them greater faith? In the scripture it says we all receive the same measure of faith when we become born again into the kingdom of God. The difference lies in what we do with the faith we have been given.

Some believers have created sacred cow beliefs that actually bring bondage, instead of producing life. This book was written to produce balance and clarity, through rightly dividing God's Word. Sacred cows produce bondage, but the Truth sets you free! 

"Incorrect attitudes can become strongholds that invite assaults from hell — our fears become self-fulfilling prophecies." This portion of When Heaven Invades Earth, written by Bill Johnson, contains vital insights into the differences between love and fear — and how each can control your life, for better or worse.

He should have seen it coming. Anonymous letters are rarely good. On the day after preaching a sermon at his church, Rob Shepherd opened a letter filled with hurtful words and a very strong opinion about how awful his sermon was. On his fourth reading of the letter, Rob heard a still small voice say, "Even if you preached the perfect sermon somebody would crucify it." That thought began the process of setting Rob free from being a lifelong people pleaser.

“The lack of miracles isn’t because it is not in God’s will for us. The problem exists between our ears. As a result, a transformation — a renewing of the mind — is needed.” Pastor Bill Johnson provides proof positive that when heaven invades Earth, God reveals himself personally to every person who is ready to receive him.

“Relationships done well attract the presence of God - automatically attracting the reality of his world into our environment.” In this feature message from The Way of Life, Pastor Bill Johnson focuses on how our assignment to pray welcomes his presence with confidence as we co-labor with him to see his purposes realized and established on earth.

“Always be prepared for the moment in which you’re standing, because God never fails to give you the tools you need beforehand.” This portion of Strengthen Yourself in the Lord, by Bill Johnson, embraces the truth that when we treasure God’s promises, we are trusting him - and that trust shows him that he can trust us with even more.

“Our ideas and desires and dreams have a monumental influence on how God carries out his plan in this world.
