Becoming Battle-Ready Through Worship
New method of 'combat' inspires oneness with God

LONGWOOD, FL-Hidden inside each of us is the potential to become something greater-an untapped power God has bestowed upon His people. By utilizing our God-given gifts, we will become a transforming force capable of battling the cursed things of the world and abiding in GodŐs presence. Mark E. Crutcher, Ph.D., author of The Flaming Sword (paperback, 978-1-60266-067-0), believes this message will inspire each and every Christian with its relevance.

As corruption, violence, sexual improprieties, and other sins spread throughout the world around us, we must learn to separate ourselves from these influences. The Flaming Sword unlocks revelations that will help people use the power of God to ward off the influence of cursed things that lead to death. Discouragement, depression, doubt, disease, demons, and the devil himself will no longer have authority over our lives, and the church will begin to operate as a unified body. As readers unleash blessings in their lives that have been withheld for generations, they will realize that worship is a powerful tool. Worship activates the "flaming sword" to become a powerful weapon against our enemies, and it prepares us to walk in the presence of God, where holiness, love, and truth reside. "I am committed to answering a calling to share relevant and inspirational messages that help people from all walks of life to discover, unlock, and activate what God has placed within them," says Crutcher. "This book contains an inspirational message that is relevant to Christian living in our current time."

Mark E. Crutcher is senior pastor of Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Pensacola, Florida. He is also the director of evangelism and church growth for the Eleventh Episcopal District in the African Methodist Episcopal Church. He is married to Rev. Juanita Crutcher, and the couple has two children, Anna and Jonathan.
