Can you imagine anything more sobering than to live your entire life thinking you were “this person,” then discover at the end of your life you were actually “that person” instead? To make things more gut wrenching, you discover “that person” had a better life, and you never enjoyed the benefits and privileges that life offered. Most Christians will live their entire lives and never make the discovery of who Christ has made them to be.The Scam originates from the crucible of author...

When Wayne Kniffen’s future wife was a senior in high school, he was a thirty-year-old Vietnam veteran turned pastor who was married with three children.

Every church is not the Lord’s church, but the legitimate church is waking up—and miracles, signs, and wonders will appear to those who believe. God is going to take those of us who want to participate to zones where the Holy Spirit is our only comfort. The supernatural is going to become natural to those who have the audacity to believe and to those who expect it. Steeped in Scripture, this book seeks to answer questons such as: • Have we turned the church into something it wasn’t meant t...

Remaining ignorant about something means you don’t have to worry about it, feel responsible for it, or get upset by it.That may be true in some instances, but not when it comes to knowing the truth about God’s word. In fact, being ignorant about your new-creation life that you have in Christ can be very costly.This is the main reason so many believers are living defeated lives. One of the most important questions any believer in Christ should ask themselves is this: What is...

There are only two ways life can be lived: from the outside in or from the inside out. Most of us have chosen option number one. Before we accepted Christ as our Lord and Savior, this was the only option. We had no choice because we were wholly self-conscious in our natural selves. This self-focused condition was passed on to us through the corrupted seed of Adam.New Creation Thinking is a thought-provoking exploration of ways born-again Christians should strive to live up to their...

When God Breathes may sound like there may be times when God does not breathe. On the contrary, God is breath.Without the breath of God, there would be no life—and if God stopped breathing out, we would stop breathing in. Not only does the breath of God impart life, but His breath is also the only thing that can sustain life.When God formed the physical body from the dust of the ground for humanity to live in, it was lifeless. “And the Lord God formed man from the dust of the...

As a Christian, you may sometimes wonder: Have I made too many mistakes or too big of a blunder for God to see me as his legitimate child? Have I gone so far I’ve been disowned? Has he turned his back on me? Is he disappointed with me? Does he love me less because I’ve made some bad decisions?In The Prodigal, author Wayne Kniffen communicates that no matter how badly you may have blown it by making foolish choices, God isn’t mad at you. He is madly in love with you. The two sons in...
