Over the last two decades, Bethel Church in Redding, California, has risen to prominence in the area of signs and wonders ministry. The kinds of miracles seen in the ministries of Jesus and the New Testament Church are manifesting, not only through Bethel’s leadership team (e.g. Bill Johnson and Kris Vallotton), but also ordinary, everyday people – both within the church, and to an even greater extent outside of its four walls. For example, the blind are receiving their sight, the deaf hearing, and many “incurable diseases” are being cured. Furthermore, every major sphere of society, including government and politics, business, education, the arts and entertainment, and popular culture, is being impacted for the Kingdom, through the power of God.When former professional researcher Greg Taylor went to Bethel Church to study at its ministry school (the Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry), he became curious as to why they are so successful at seeing the supernatural manifest, compared to most other churches – in things like healing and prophecy. And after considering this question, he quickly realized that it isn’t due to anything special about either the church’s physical location or any of its people. What he discovered was that the decisive factor, instead, is Bethel’s signs and wonders culture.This then led to him investigating the culture, to try to determine what is so special about it. Following months of analysis, both experientially as a BSSM student and through the detailed research of many of their published materials, he came to the conclusion that there are only really 10 key components of it, which can all be learned quickly and easily. In this book, Greg reveals these 10 “secrets” of Bethel’s signs and wonders culture, and explains in great detail how you can use them to create your own similar culture, and thereby unleash the supernatural power of God in your life too.You will learn:The beliefs and mindsets that you need to embrace (and the ones that you absolutely must avoid!) to consistently move in the miraculous. The action steps that you need to take to make the supernatural natural in your life.How to see signs and wonders take place through partnering with God.Two common mistakes that many Christians make, which lead to them failing to effectively partner with God (and how to avoid these).The identity that we need to have to consistently see signs and wonders.The problems of seeing ourselves as “sinners saved by grace”.The lie that keeps many people in a “pauper” state.What exactly the Kingdom of God is (Hint: it is not what many Christians think it is).How our eschatology (view of the end times) affects our level of impact on the world for the Kingdom – including the degree to which we operate in miracles, signs and wonders.The difference between the Gospel of the Kingdom and the Gospel of Salvation, and why this distinction is important.The “Seven Mountains Strategy” for advancing the Kingdom.What the apostolic is and why it is so important to the Church today.Bethel’s approach to evangelism and why it is so much more effective than the evangelism done by most Christians today.How to use the power of the testimony to see an increased level of the miraculous occur.The importance of empowering women in ministry.The four key elements of improving your ability to operate in the supernatural.How to create a “safe” prophetic culture.How to step out in faith successfully.How to see results in healing ministry (e.g. through healing prayer).What Paul’s “thorn in the flesh” actually was (and no, it was not a physical ailment).Plus much, much more!

How was it that the Torrens system, a mid-nineteenth-century reform of land titles registration from distant South Australia, gradually replaced the inherited Anglo-Canadian common law system of land registration? In The Law of the Land, Greg Taylor traces the spread of the Torrens system, from its arrival in the far-flung outpost of 1860s Victoria, British Columbia, right up to twenty-first century Ontario.Examining the peculiarity of how this system of land reform swept through some provinces like wildfire, and yet still remains completely unknown in three provinces, Taylor shows how the different histories of various regions in Canada continue to shape the law in the present day. Presenting a concise and illuminating history of land reform, he also demonstrates the power of lobbying, by examining the influence of both moneylenders and lawyers who were the first to introduce the Torrens system to Canada east of the Rockies.An exact and fluent legal history of regional law reforms, The Law of the Land is a fascinating examination of commonwealth influence, and ongoing regional differences in Canada.
