Review Statements
Rev.
Kenneth Haney:
If you hunger for a greater
demonstration of supernatural power and passionately yearn to be used in the
ministry of spiritual gifts that Christ has made available to His church,
then reading this book
is a must.
Many fear the operation
of the gifts and ignore the necessity of the five-fold ministry simply
because of abuse and misappropriation of the Scripture by some religious
groups. However, this does not change the fact that if God's people are to
impact the world in this final thrust, it is absolutely essential that they
use all the tools that Jesus made available to His church.
Brother Stoneking’s
ministry throughout the years has demonstrated his insight and understanding
of this most important subject of the five-fold ministry and the workings of
spiritual gifts.
Rev. Paul Price:
Brother Stoneking has touched an area
that has raised interest in our whole fellowship. He has had experience in
these areas of ministry and knows what he is writing about. He has outlined
it, explained it, and has written about what people want in this hour.
The Apostle Paul mentions a
more excellent way in I Corinthians 12 verse 31. To possess the
subject matter of Brother Stoneking’s book, you must take on the nature of
Jesus Christ in order to have that more excellent way as
presented by the Apostle Paul in chapter 13. The key then, in seeking for
the gifts of the Spirit and the supernatural in one’s life and ministry, is
to first fulfill the admonition given by Paul in Chapter thirteen.
For those of you who
want this dimension in your life and/or ministry, you will have to fall in
love with the Giver, Jesus Christ! Because without the above cited message
of the Apostle Paul’s burden, we have nothing and are nothing.
Rev. T.W. Barnes:
Thank you, Brother Stoneking, for
writing this great book. I read through every chapter the day I received it
and not only enjoyed reading it, but believe every word you have written.
Utilizing this five-fold
ministry given in Ephesians 4:11-12 is the only way to perfect the saints of
God. We know these gifts are to be in the church until Jesus comes because
of the words written in I Corinthians 1:7: “So that ye come behind in no
gift; waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.”
I feel this book is
destined to stir the gifts in the ministry and they will flow throughout the
church. According to Revelation 22:19, if we take away from the words of the
Book, our part will be taken out of the Book of Life. My prayer is that
every minister who reads this will let the gifts God has given them flow
unhindered to the church.
Your ministry, Brother
Stoneking, has been a great example of the operation of these gifts. May God
richly bless you and all who read this book.
Rev. Steve Willoughby:
“Wise men speak
because they have something to say, fools because they have to say
something”
(Plato)
Lee Stoneking is
definitely a wise man with something to say. Many people talk Christ and
some—like him, really, truly live Christ. It shows in every fiber of his
life both private and public. His life and ministry continues the pattern
established in the Acts of the Apostles. His words are not based on theory
but they are birthed from decades of enacted Scripture, relationship with
Jesus and frontline ministry. He ministers to masses yet forever remains a
master of the personal one-on-one touch of ministry. He is the salt and
light that Jesus had in mind for this world. Thank you, Brother Stoneking,
for living the Biblical truth of the five-fold ministry so that some, like
me, could follow your lead and be a part of the greatest spiritual harvest
the world has ever known in this, the closing hours of human history.
