Your grandmother wouldn't recognize the church of today. In an effort to be relevant to the changing times somewhere along the way some of the church's doctrine and theology has been watered down. Compromise has slipped in and "tolerance" has reared its ugly head to relegate Jesus Christ to a has-been Savior no longer relevant with the changing times. Too busy trying to please the masses and keep the coffers topped off more, and more leaders are watering down the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Th...

Jakes takes readers through the book of Ephesians chapter by chapter, teaching what it means for the Christian to have a life overflowing and how to "walk worthy of the calling [they] have received."

Here is Bishop Jakes's best teaching on Ephesians, convenie...

This handbook on how to live and enjoy the Abundant Christian Life is drawn from wonderful experiences I was so blessed to share with Pat, my loving wife of 59 years. This very Special Lady was the light of my life and the joy of my heart from the time we became sweethearts in junior high school until she slipped away to heaven in March of this year (2013). It is in loving memory of her that I dedicate this book with hopes that many will be encouraged and helped in their quest to Live and ...

At the age of thirty, my calling to preach came to me in a dream, a strange man said, Let God Be the Judge. Many will try to deceive you by telling you God did not call you to preach. You Let God Be The Judge. When I awoke from that dream, I could not believe it. I thought to myself, Is God calling me to preach? A shy county girl like me could not be a preacher. This recurring dream haunted me for three and a half years. It was as if I could not run from it. The stranger in my dreams told ...

How often have you cried out to God, Why? Why is justice perverted? Why don't people understand me? Why do the unjust prosper? The answer: Because you are anointed! Best-selling author T.D. Jakes writes, I used to have the wrong notion that when you are really anointed, you no longer have problems or rough times. But you show me anybody who's really Holy Ghost, knee-jerking, tongue-talking, casting-out-demons, laying-hands-on-the-sick, miracle-working, world-changing, mind-transforming, mi...

Bishop T.D. Jakes provides comforting hope and practical ways for all people, including Christians, to get up after they have fallen. Everyone falls from time to time; and the cause of the fall is not as important as what we do while we are down and how we get back up. Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you (Deuteronomy 31:6). Learn some of these important life lessons: Why p...

I believe that we're in the beginning stages of the greatest revival this world has ever known. In order for us to carry out the plan of God, we must realize that divine intervention and not human effort will usher in this end-time revival. Christians must know that their lives with God can be full of new experiences every day. Instead of merely enduring our salvation, we can enjoy the fullness that God has provided in the Holy Ghost. You need to realize that these gifts and callings ...

If Jesus said it, you should know it-and One Year with Jesus provides 365 brief, easy-to-read devotionals based on the Bible's words of Christ. From Jesus' first recorded words at age 12 (Luke 2) through His many pronouncements in the Gospels and book of Acts, One Year with Jesus lays out both what the Lord said and a compelling thought to bring these "red letter" words into the context of our daily lives. At times challenging, encouraging, and inspiring, One Year with Jesus prom...

Conflict is inspired by our enemy, the devil, and has the potential to destroy not only individual lives, but also local churches. Conflict accompanies a level of division and destruction from which some people never recover. Differences occur because we as human beings are diverse. The key to embracing differences and avoiding conflict can be discovered through God’s Word. Drawing from over 20 years of ministry experience, Bishop Tudor Bismark makes the case in Conflict Resolution that co...
