Why has the Church of the latter century not seen the exponential growth of the early Church in the first century? When was the last time a local church's evangelistic team garnered 3,000 new believers in one day? Could it be that we have separated two vital components of effective Christianity? What Part of the Flame do you carry? Many churches today stress holiness but lack power, while others display great power but are deficient in personal holiness and Christian character. Both are limited in the effectiveness of their evangelism. If we really want to win our world for Christ, we must bring both holiness and power back into our lives. Without them, we don't have anything to offer or interest the lost. A Church on fire, though, will draw countless numbers to her light. When small fires join together... Each of these powerful men of God carry a passion for bringing the Church to its highest potential in Christ. Their individual perspectives join together in this book to bring a clearer revelation of God's view of the Church. The truths they reveal will challenge you to increase the power and holiness in your own life, that you too may burn for Jesus Christ!
Randy Clark, a noted international speaker, is a doctoral candidate at United Theological Seminary, received his M.Div from Southern Baptist Theological Seminary and his bachelor's degree was in Religious Studies from Oakland City University. He was used of God to birth the revival that broke out in Toronto, Canada, in January 1994 that continued six nights a week for over twelve years.
Randy is best known for the gift on his life for activating and imparting gifts of the Holy Spirit. The late John Wimber was the first to recognize this grace on Randy's life. John heard the audible voice of God tell him twice that Randy would one day travel the world laying hands on pastors and leaders to activate and impart to them gifts of the Spirit. Randy also continues to demonstrate the Lord's power to heal the sick with great tenacity. While having been used to launch several famous ministers into the new level of their anointing by laying hands on them and prophesying to them, the focus of his ministry is on the average person in the congregation, encouraging them that they too can be used of God in the gifts of the Spirit, especially words of knowledge and healing. His message is simple: "God wants to use you."
He is the author of "There Is More" and many other books, manual/workbooks, booklets and materials. He is the co-author with Bill Johnson of two books, "The Essential Guide to Healing" and "Healing Unplugged". His book, "There Is More" is now being used as a textbook at the United Theological Seminary (a United Methodist Seminary) for one of the courses taught by Dr. Andrew Sung Park. Dr. Park is also going to use "The Essential Guide to Healing" in his seminary course.
