Expanding the Borders of your Expectation

God Has More for You!

Beschreibung

Gary Ward taught high school biology for eighteen years and was a seasonal ranger-naturalist for the National Park Service during the summers for most of those years. Then he received a call into full-time ministry and was pastor of the Living Word Church in Manhattan, Kansas, for thirty-four years. During that time, he wrote several books and booklets as follows: Books: Living Free from the Shackles that Bind Faith that Moves Mountains: Developing Unwavering Faith Responding to the Call Booklets : Victory over Rulers of Darkness Signs and Wonders Gifts of the Holy Spirit Victory over Stress and Disease Healing Gary has become known for the clear and simple way he preaches the Word of God. He always encourages people to apply the Word to their lives and see it manifested as they apply their faith to what God has said. In doing so, many signs and wonders have accompanied the ministry to which Gary was called. Recently, he passed the baton as pastor of the church he loved and cared for, and he now has a passion for helping other churches expand the borders of their expectation. He is fully convinced that no matter how many great experiences you have had with the Lord, He has much more for all of us. This book is designed with that very purpose: to encourage both individual Christ followers and their churches to press on and to keep earnestly desiring and pursuing all God has for them. His prayer for the reader of this book is that you will be encouraged to seek the Lord in His fullness and be more and more able to participate in His wondrous works. He has so much more for all of us, and it will all be for His glory!

In 2001 Gary began writing 'The Cogs of the Kingdom,' a project that would explore what God had intended for believers. Because of the 'other-than' nature of what the Lord was saying to Gary, he walked away from the writing, sometimes for years! However, over time the Lord has strongly impressed upon Gary that He wants this materiel to be available to the Church. In 2015 the Lord gave Gary space to complete the trilogy of the Cogs of the Kingdom, This book is the first of the series: 'Taken for a Bride.' Its intention is to have believers confident about their involvement in the saving plan of God. Gary states that believers are not just involved but implicated by the will of God. "You have been taken out of this world as Jesus' bride, you just don't know it yet!" This would be a typical overarching statement from Gary who wants believer to be 'in proximity to the Lord before they sense a purpose.' Gary Ward is identified as a Bible Teacher by the house church he is part of in Perth Western Australia. With his family he was sent there by Jesus in 2012 to pioneer what he calls 'Biblical Church.' Typically they would meet in homes around food and drink. Eating the meal together Gary would affirm as being something that defines ecclesia and history has taken believers away from this simplicity. Do you like writing 'from the hip?' You won't be disappointing as Gary's writing style has nothing to do with appeasing the popular culture or selling books. "It is truth, and there will be casualties'" Gary says this with no intention to impress with sound-bytes, just deliver the Lord's saving plan and see believers discover their proximity to Jesus and allow him to prepare them for works. Gary was saved in 1989 when Jesus took him by the scruff of the soul. He met Helen in 1992 and married her about a year later. Becky Dan and Rachel miraculously turned up over subsequent years and they all live in Perth Western Australia. Gary and his family have integrated into the street and community they live in. They are believing God can change lives in their proximity by being ordinary and doing church biblically.
