Growing in our ability to have a conscious awareness of God’s presence with us in the midst of our busy and over-stimulated world is a key to our spiritual health and emotional well-being. Practicing the Ordinary Supernatural Presence of God helps us to do exactly that—by enriching our devotional lives with a richer and deeper biblical theology based on key biblical texts such as Acts 2, John 17, and Matthew 28, and crucial biblical doctrines such as the Trinity, Union with Christ, and the Holy Spirit.

Practicing Ministry in the Presence of God presents a new paradigm for church ministry--one that is based on fundamental truths of the Christian faith such as the Trinity, union with Christ, and the "already" presence of the Holy Spirit in the church. This new paradigm can help busy pastors avoid "burnout" in the ministry and model Trinitarian, New Testament patterns of ministry to their people. Practicing Ministry in the Presence of God reflects the best of recent New Testament scholarship, sensitivity to the contexts of globalized postmodern cultures dominated by digital media, and practical applications for Christian life, discipleship, worship, and mission.

Christians can control the affairs of their countries by the preaching of the Gospel, which only is the source of salvation to mankind. The more people submit to the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the better the society and government will be. And God listens to the cries, prayers, and intercessions we make on behalf of our nation and people. The heart of the king is in the Hand of God, and He can turn their hearts as we pray, no matter the demonic opposition that is against our nation. And we have to take part in the politics of our country, directly or indirectly. This is because if we are indifferent to our national politics, those that the devil will put there will rule and lead us.

Speaking to King Saul, Prophet Samuel said, "You have done foolishly. You have not kept the Commandment of the Lord your God, which He commanded you. For now the Lord would have established your kingdom over Israel forever. But now your kingdom shall not continue. The Lord has sought for Himself a man after His Own Heart, and the Lord has commanded him to be commander over His people, because you have not kept what the Lord commanded you" (1 Sam. 13:13-14). You are going to read and study the life and ministry of David, the man after God's Own Heart in this book.

You are God's battleaxe and weapons of war. There are forces and powers that war against the Purposes and Plans of God. The kingdom darkness is opposed to God's Will and Heartbeat; and they fight directly and indirectly against the Work of God. Satan, his fallen angels and demons, and his human agents are opposed to God. And as a son of God, He takes you as His battleaxe. He wants to use you to break in pieces and destroy nations and kingdoms. He desires to use you to break in pieces the forces of darkness and the host of the satanic kingdom. God wants to use you to destroy the works and powers of darkness over the lives of men, and bring them into His Kingdom. He wants to use us to do, work, and establish His Plans and Purposes on this earth.
