If we want God to answer our prayers in a specific way, we need to ask Him specifically for what we desire. God blesses specific prayers! In this teaching, Jamie Buckingham shares the Old Testament story of Hannah, a barren woman who prayed fervently for a child--and not just a child, but specifically, a son. God blessed her specific prayer with the birth of Samuel, who she dedicated back to the service of the Lord. From Hannah's example and examples in his own life, Jamie draws several conclusions about specific prayer, including: God knows when the prayer you say with your lips actually ...

There is a lot of shaking going on in the body of Christ. It is a deep shaking that may feel like our roots are being pulling out. The shaking of God comes in the form of crisis, or hurt, or some other form of physical or emotional pain. If that is happening to you, ask yourself this question: Who is doing the shaking? Is it God or is it Satan attacking? Remember, as a Christian, even if it is the Devil, God controls the work of Satan as it affects the lives of His followers. If you are a child of God and have committed yourself to the Lord then you are under His control and His protection....

Have you ever wondered what Disney World would be like if it were centered on Jesus instead of cartoon characters? Would it be a good thing? Or would there just be as much fantasy as any other theme park run by robotics and remote controls? Is it okay to make Jesus and his message more entertaining if people are converted in the process? Or is it better to simply follow the pattern of his life and his lifestyle, and make not just converts, but true disciples?

Jamie speaks openly about a serious issue he had with one of his pastors and how it affected the entire church, especially the fellowship of the church. Then he goes on to discuss three key terms often mentioned in the Bible but which have inadequate translations in today’s English. As a result, we fail to fully comprehend what the words, grace, love and fellowship truly mean. He explains in detail these three words and begins to place context around them in a New Testament light. He states that these words above all others, need to be reintroduced to the church with their real meanings, ...

In the last sermon he ever preached, Jamie Buckingham said, "“If I fold my tent now and quit, then the pain I've already experienced and the suffering I've already walked through are for nothing. All the things I've learned throughout this entire ordeal (his battle with cancer) will have been wasted, and the future blessings God has promised for my children and my grandchildren and many others around me will be gone" He went on to say, "We can't afford to stop. We simply can't afford to quit. We must finish the work the Lord has given us, so we can be complete...All you have to do is ...

Christians are a supernatural people. However, the problem is we tend to function naturally. Even though we are a new creation we often fail to understand our new supernatural nature. When we pray God responds to us supernaturally. We shouldn’t be surprised. He is a God of the supernatural and He wants us to be open to His supernatural responses to our concerns and desires. Jamie lists three simple points on how to get your prayers answered. On the basis of the Word of God, if you follow these points, your prayers will be answered.

God has many ways of teaching us. Jesus taught by example. Men looked at how he lived, and decided to walk that way also. He also taught by precept, speaking directly to people, in a way we might call teaching today. But his favorite way of teaching was through the use of the parable. He loved to tell stories—stories with spiritual meanings. "In the fall of 1987," Jamie said, "I visited Israel with a camera crew. We had obtained permission from the Israeli government to set up cameras at ten of the sites where Jesus told his best-known parables.

The Bible states: “As you go, preach this message: The kingdom of heaven is near. Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy, drive out demons. Freely you have received, freely give” (Matthew 10:7-8). This is a command that is given to all followers of Jesus Christ. We hear a lot about going out and preaching, about healing and to a lesser degree, driving out demons. But what about raising the dead? Jesus’ words are right there. We are to “raise the dead.” But how do we as Christians go about doing that? As a believer we can never say that there are some things ...

This book of reflections on life was written very early in Jamie Buckingham's career as a writer. The majority of these stories grew out of a series of daily radio commentaries over Station WCRS, Greenwood, South Carolina, when Jamie was a young, but “senior” pastor at the South Main Street Baptist Church from 1959-1966.

Do you have a desire in your heart—a deep longing that you hope for day after day, year after year? Do you have some sort of unrequited yearning that is burning deep within you, something that you want very badly to happen, but it hasn’t come about yet? I believe there is within most of us a desire or a dream or a vision that we hope will one day come to pass. We may have never expressed this desire or dream to anybody. It may be so private and so personal that we have never been able to even speak it out loud. It just resides within us, at the very heart of us. I firmly believe that ...

When Jesus called His disciples, His call was for them to follow Him wholeheartedly and leave everything else behind. That is how He still calls us today. Are you willing to do what Peter, Andrew, James, and John did, and leave your “nets” behind? Are you willing to follow Jesus so completely that nothing else in the world matters except His Lordship? Jamie Buckingham states, “In the closing messages Jesus had for His disciples, He said, ‘Follow Me, and signs and wonders will follow you.’ We are not to be seekers of the signs and wonders. We are to be seekers of the Lord Jesus ...
