Mary of Bethany stands alone in the Gospels. She was the friend of Jesus, sharer of His secrets. She abides, uninhibited and limitless, an eternal emblem of adoration of Jesus. Mary received from Jesus what no other player in the Redemption Story received: His never-ending command that where the gospel is preached, the story of her alabaster jar is to be told. This book proclaims her memorial place with extraordinary insight and reverence, laced with the goal of following this quiet one who was the delight of Jesus into our own . . . ADORATION. Here is a profound gaze at the very human ...

Do you desperately wish that you were stronger, smarter, or better looking? Do you feel depressed or disappointed over who you are and who you are not? Are you sowing seeds of destruction in your life without even knowing it? Self-hatred seems like such a normal human thing that we don’t think too much about it. But God orchestrated Martha Kilpatrick’s life and her experience – including her failures and devastation – to bring a strong message to the Body of Christ: Do not hate yourself. “I want people who suffer from self-hatred to understand it, to overcome it, and to shut the ...

"Where is God in our common troubles?" "What is He doing in the chaotic Now?" "Who is God in His nature? In His being?" God is so magnificently God that His vast imperial reign is powerful enough to fix any human dilemma swallow all pain and answer every quandary ... He is God. In these pages are piercing insights into the very flavor of God amidst the struggles of humanity as told through the lives of Abraham, David, Esther, Joseph and others. Martha Kilpatrick writes in a unique poetic prose style, and her book sends a fresh plumb line into the depths of Old Testament characters as they ...

"God has a story written on your life, and you are going to have to make peace with your story in order to make peace with God." God is obvious. Plain. Our response should be awe at His power and gratitude for His goodness. To fail in these responses is to begin a downward spiral to certain and unending disaster. In this teaching, Martha illustrates the soul sickness that results when we reject God in the circumstances of our suffering. Through a deeply personal testimony, she also gives the keys to complete and radical healing for our broken souls.

“We secretly believe God has made many mistakes and failed to show up many times.” There is a lie out in the universe and in your heart, and mine. A lie about God. It is an enormous lie, an ongoing lie. Until this lie is exposed and rooted out, we won’t know God as He truly is—and we won’t experience the wondrous adventure of the life He has for us. In this teaching, Martha explores how the enemy works through life’s events to cause us to draw conclusions about God: that He lies, that He is not good, and that He withholds what we need. It’s time to refuse the lie and ...

“With all our being, we want to serve God without needing anything from Him.” We’re born thinking we’re supposed to have the power to do God’s will, that we have the power to be good and to please Him. But when humanity decided to be like God and take care of itself, we actually forfeited the power of God to operate on our behalf. In this teaching, Martha explores our contorted views of power, our desperate struggle to possess illegitimate power, and the key to accessing God’s eternal power for every aspect of our lives.

“I want you to never give up until you know by experience and therefore BELIEVE the love God has for you!” The central issue of all of life is loving God, yet none of us is capable of loving Him. That is the truth, but we should never despair, because our failure to love God is His to solve. And He will, if we’ll just let Him! In this teaching, Martha reveals the many competitors to loving God as well as the unfathomable Love that exposed them—a picture of the wondrous adventure of loving God by experiencing His great love for us!

“Sin is the failure to love God.” Your life will be measured not in terms of how much you did, but by the depth and quality of your love—that is, by how much you received of God’s love. Every test of life is a test of love: What do you love? Who do you love? Whose love do you love? Every day, our lives answer these questions. Do we see it? Join Martha as she elaborates on the lives of lovers who followed the Lamb: Mary of Bethany, Peter, David, Brother Lawrence, Madame Guyon, and Frederick Faber. There is joy and mystery when living as one loved by God – come discover it for ...

When you truly fear God, then you fear nothing else. But if you don’t fear God, you fear everything. Is overcoming fear in your life really that important? Yes! Fear debilitates every area of your life and infects every relationship you hold dear. When your fear is placated, or worse, indulged, then you will do whatever it takes to keep yourself safe. And that is a dark road—physically, mentally, emotionally, and especially spiritually. Fear opens the door to every immorality and lawlessness, and it must be overcome. “The war of your life is going to be between what God has promised ...

“The principle of the child is one ability and only one: simple receiving of all things.” In Matthew 18, Jesus gave two requirements for entering the Kingdom: turn away from sin, and become like little children. We are quite familiar with the first, but the second is rarely taught. Do we know what a ‘little child’ is and how to become one? Our very entrance to the Kingdom depends on it. By exploring the parable of the Prodigal Son and examining the lives of David and Jesus Christ, Martha Kilpatrick unveils the picture painted throughout the Bible of what it means to “become like ...

Forgiveness is more than a work to do… It is the power to change the world! Altogether Forgiven takes us into a world that too few believers ever discover. “Forgiveness is a work, yes. But it is not a work in the sheer grit of determination to forgive. To forgive is this alone: Seeking God until you come to intimate fellowship with His heart about the issue and the person. “Someone asked me with real sincerity, “How do I know if I have forgiven?” My answer was brief. “When you love your enemy.” “Forgiveness is a choice, yes. But after the will to forgive, it is not a mental ...

“If you don’t assume responsibility for your sin, you will wonder why things in your life don’t change and why there is no joy.” The very foundation on which we grow is repentance. You cannot have faith without going through the process of repentance. It is basic. Repentance is the beginning of every move of God—private or corporate. In this extraordinary teaching, Martha shares her own story of repentance and explores the rarely taught secrets – and overwhelming rewards – of this vital work of the Spirit.

Do you feel disconnected from the world around you, alone even in a crowd, wondering why every joy is fleeting? Most people think that fulfillment comes by gaining more money, more power, more intimacy, more approval, more achievements. But in this surprising booklet, Martha Kilpatrick shows us where to find the narrow path to fullness. Every believer is called to a great destiny in communion with God… but the way to find it may not be what you think.

“All of us have people and situations that we think are too much for God, if we are honest.” We each have an internal view of the powers at work around us, and we respond to people and situations based on these beliefs. In other words, in a given situation, we believe this power or that power rules. There is only One whose power rules all, but do we function as if we believe that? In this teaching, Martha looks at each of the powers in the universe (man, Satan, God) against the authority of the Scripture to see who actually has power – real power. She promises, “If you grasp this, ...

This dynamic and Spirit-filled exploration of the life and calling of Elijah prepares readers for the task of understanding and unmasking the Jezebel spirit and obtaining deliverance from the Jezebel spirit in themselves, as well as their home, family, and church. Chariot of Fire offers keen discernment and diagnosis of the Jezebel Spirit, but more than that, it delves into the personal relationship between Elijah and God that is crucial to overcoming. The daily spiritual and practical equipping of Elijah ensured his victory over evil, a triumph that had to be personal before it could be ...

"Only love endues anything with worth and value. Whatever is of love has great worth." We see the meaning of life within our roles and duties, as practical and in this world. If we see a little further, we might say we live to serve God. But for the most part, we are a mystery to ourselves. Would you like to unlock the mystery of you? In this teaching, Martha reveals the secret of our existence in God's love—and in His love, we find the meaning of it all.

In this hour, the fresh wind of the Holy Spirit is blowing on the ancient subject of discipleship! Through discipleship Jesus comes to capture you and take you to an intimate fellowship with Himself, no different than the first disciples. A disciple experiences the Living Christ. Jesus’ final words were given to His disciples, the great commission: “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations.” The Lord’s last words on earth were therefore His highest calling, an invitation to every born again believer – “follow Me.” The Mystery of Discipleship is a 91-day epic voyage ...

The words contained in these 32 pages call out the error so touted as truth: that you can serve and worship God with your degenerate soul. But more importantly, it is an invitation to enter into your rightful place: the very Presence of our Abba Father. Martha has undertaken the masterful task of hearing the Spirit, who has laid out so skillfully in these pages the plan of God to bring us to a greater intimacy than was known in Eden. She reveals succinctly His design from the temple in Jerusalem to Jesus' announcement that a greater Temple was imminent. God doesn't just tell us; He shows us...

"Prayer is finding out what God wants to do, and then being the vessel in whom God can reveal it." We don't start out wanting only one thing. By chastening of the Spirit, by disappointment in life, by presenting a vision through the scripture - or a person - God Himself narrows us down to wanting just one thing. Do you know and want that one thing? In this teaching, Martha explores what it means to live a lifestyle of prayer through the lives of David, Mary and Elijah—lovers of God who pursued and required as vital just one thing.

We are driven to be Something because we are terrified to be Nothing. This world doesn’t just celebrate the Someones and Somethings, it adores them. Yet the world is ever at odds with God’s kingdom. Jesus said, “Whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.” Here is the fork in the road we come to each day. Every born-again believer is called to be a Nothing in a world that worships the Something. The Joy Unequaled of Being Nothing clearly shows what being Nothing looks like and even more simply reveals the great reward that comes with it. ...
