Beginning with your private world--your thoughts, body, actions, and ultimately your God-ordained destiny--you can take charge. Authority is yours for the taking.

Then, because God established and so honors the principle of authority, He will back you as you walk in the government He has delegated to you concerning your extended world--your home, family, business, and possessions.

Finally, God's plan is for you to partner with Him on the earth in broader realms of influence and authority--your universal world. Jesus, the sovereign King over the earth, wants to rule institutions, cultures, societies, and governments through you and your prayers.

Authority in Prayer will show you how to take hold of God's promises and pray with the authority He wants you to have. God needs you. Are you ready to use your God-given authority to further His kingdom?

You will learn how to overcome the debilitation state of "hope deferred," while seeking a restoration of faith in God's goodness.

IF YOU ARE SUFFERING, THIS BOOK IS JUST WHAT YOU NEED.

At the same moment, God issued a separate call to two men---prophet Chuck Pierce and pastor Dutch Sheets---to heal the United States. As a prophetic act to realign our country to His covenant plan, the duo rallied apostles, prophets and intercessors from state-to-state to break the grip of demonic strongholds. Releasing the Prophetic Destiny of a Nation is the remarkable story behind their 50-state roadtrip to restore revival to America. Endowed with God-given keys of authority to reconcile America to its heavenly mandate, the two chronicle their efforts to purge the land of territorial and generational sin. Now is the time and season for a warfare anointing to rest upon America.

"Whether you derive your paycheck from a local church or from the profit of a business, one thing is clear: Leaders are in high demand, and leaders with godly character and excellence are an even rarer find." ---Dutch Sheets and Chris Jackson

Leaders like you are in high demand.

The success of the CEO or senior pastor depends on people just like you.

Churches and businesses are looking for people just like you.

You are a person of integrity. Your life is an example to all around you. Your relationship with God has given you strength, patience, and trustworthiness. You are satisfied where God has placed you and you work with all your heart at the task He has placed in your care.

Second in Command is written to strengthen those in the position of "right-hand man." For some, being "number two" is a training ground for an eventual promotion into top leadership, but for others it is a calling. Whether you pastor a church or are a "marketplace minister," Second in Command teaches you how to become a next-generation leader of excellence.

This book is the best encouragement you can get to give you the confidence and faith to function up to your fullest potential where God has placed you, trusting the future to Him who calls and anoints and sends into new arenas of service.

Dutch Sheets April 5, 2001

Bestselling author Dutch Sheets will inspire and encourage readers with this clear, revelatory study of God's appointed times and seasons. Going beyond the basic definitions of kairos and chronos, Sheets brings fresh insight to the subject, examining Scripture to show how kairos (strategic) times and chronos (general) times are not two separate and unrelated seasons in our lives but, rather, are often simply different phases of the same process. He discusses how God brought about His divine shift in the lives of men and women throughout the Bible and the many ways in which God used these seasons of change to deepen His people's understanding of Him.
