Book Review: Prayer – The Timeless Secret of High-Impact Leaders

Prayer: The Timeless Secret of High Impact Leaders Book Reviewed by Theresa Harvard Johnson
Book Written by Dave Earley

Never has a book impacted my life the way PRAYER: The Timeless Secret of High-Impact Leaders by Dave Earley has in the area of prayer. I’ve read many books on this subject over the years that were all filled with biblical truths and powerful revelation, but this one was strikingly different. As I journeyed through the pages, I felt as if I was sitting at the feet of a spiritual mentor who walks in a similar wisdom of the high-impact leaders whom he highlights – all giants in my estimation for their uncompromising and passionate stand concerning those things that are on the very heart of God. I actually thought to myself: Simplistic, Holy Spirit led teaching does get better than this.

What’s even more amazing to me as I type this is that Earley is presently one of my graduate school seminary professors. The classroom instruction and interactions have been as powerful as the book as the man who speaks between the pages is a godly reflection of the man conducting the spirit-filled course. Many of you know this isn’t always the case.

Delivering Rebekah Part III (2)

Posted on 02/19/2014 by Theresa Harvard Johnson

This is the final part of the series on, The Spirit of Rebekah: Master Manipulator, that I began several years ago. However, this post is long. To read this article series in context, please check out: The Spirit of Rebekah: Master Manipulator Part I and The Spirit of Rebekah: Master Manipulator Part II. Please note that all of my articles are based on clarity given to me in my prayer time from situations I have lifted before God. I share these articles and experiences in hope that those assigned to them gain answers and instructions along their journey.

Can Rebekah be delivered?

YES! She can. The first step to Rebekah’s deliverance, however, depends on her ability to SEE, IDENTIFY, ACKNOWLEDGE & OWN her own sin. Then, her heart must be tempered for repentance and healing. Getting to this place is often difficult for someone operating in the Spirit of Rebekah because they believe themselves to be a “type of Holy Spirit” – someone with the complete vision of God who has been sent by his design. They have locked themselves into a very warped view of who they are in the spirit – often esteeming themselves as apostles and prophets.

Take a look at this conversation Jacob had with Rebekah, his mother. We have to go in this direction to truly outline God’s heart of deliverance. This scenario provides some insight into how this manipulative spirit responds when exposed.

Shutting Down the Victim Mentality (2)

Posted on 02/15/2014 by Theresa Harvard Johnson

Sometimes, it’s not always easy to identify when we are in a pit — a deep, dark hole that is obstructing our perspective due to an unnamed, unconfronted or unidentified stronghold in our lives. But I tell you, a clear sign of being in a pit is living in self-denial – unable to see one’s own condition, and spending an enormous amount of time living in the valleys of heaviness instead of PRACTICING self-motivation and self-propulsion in the Spirit. Daily we must remind ourselves that we are MORE SPIRIT than natural. We are created in the very image of God and therefore, we have the power to press upward and out of those dark places with the strength God provides.

People of God, either we believe he is an all powerful God or we believe that He isn’t. This is the question that I place before you today as we identify “the victim mentality” that has taken hold of the hearts of God’s people and “SHUT THIS STRONGHOLD DOWN.” It is EVICTION TIME! YES. It can be shut down. David gave us a valuable example how it can be done.

1 Samuel 30:6 CJB says, “David was in serious trouble: the people were talking about stoning him to death, because all the people were in such deep grief, each man over his sons and daughters. But David strengthened himself in Adonai his God.”
