I was born in Rochester, NY and grew up in Pennsylvania. As I child, I suffered mental torment and was unsure if God existed.

I became convinced of God's existence when he healed my back. I was about nine years old. My mom laid hands on me and said "In Jesus' name, back be healed." Although I didn't expect anything to happen, I felt something like a ball of energy start rolling up and down inside my back until the pain was gone. I later told my friends "I felt God's hand in my back!"

I had a "born-again" experience when I was eleven years old, and got involved in missions as a young teenager. My first trip was to Mexico. I began studying Spanish, then Polish, Portuguese, and Russian.

When I was about 20 years old, I felt very frustrated with

Jonathan Brenneman The best things that you can do are to read a lot, and then to begin to write regularly.

The Wheelchair Healing That Was Almost Ignored — And the Danger of Sensationalism in Miracles

Many real miracles don’t look dramatic—and that’s why people often miss what God is doing.

Recently, I’ve been noticing how much unbelief can be disguised as sensationalizing miracles. Both skeptics and Charismatics often have a sensationalized view of how miracles happen, which can cause them to miss what God is doing.

Sensationalism is carnal in that it focuses on the “senses” or what we feel rath

Quotes by Jonathan Brenneman  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“The truth is that there’s only one level for those who are in Christ. It’s authority over all the power of the enemy. It’s the level of being raised with Christ and seated with him in heavenly places, far above all power and authority. However, the degree to which we will exercise that authority corresponds to how much we walk in fearlessness.”
Jonathan Brenneman, What Really Causes Needless Casualties Of War: Why We Have Authority Over All Of Satan's Power & Why People Get Hurt

“the Holy Spirit does in their lives. He likes to minister in the role of teaching, laying hands on”
Jonathan Brenneman, Are You My Spiritual Father?: Spiritual Fathers And Sons...Or Brothers?

“Deuteronomy 20: 1- 5, 8 When you go to war against your enemies and see horses and chariots and an army greater than yours, do not be afraid of them, because the Lord your God, who brought you up out of Egypt, will be with you. When you are about to go into battle, the priest shall come forward and address the army. He shall say: “Hear, Israel: Today you are going into battle against your enemies. Do not be fainthearted or afraid; do not panic or be terrified by them. For the Lord your God is the one who goes with you to fight for you against your enemies to give you victory.” The officers shall say to the army: “… Is anyone afraid or fainthearted? Let him go home so that his fellow soldiers will not become disheartened too.”
Jonathan Brenneman, What Really Causes Needless Casualties Of War: Why We Have Authority Over All Of Satan's Power & Why People Get Hurt

“Therefore, ask God to make you “people-focused,”meaning to consciously look for ways and opportunities to be Jesus to those around you. This will require personal sacrifice and goes against the natural desires of our flesh. If we have a servant heart and rest in God’s enabling, then a pattern of good works will be evidenced in our life to His glory.”
Matthew Robert Payne, The Parables of Jesus: Made Simple

“You are hardwired for the pleasure of God. And this works for marriage. Imagine sole sourcing your pleasure receptors to be conditioned habitually to find satisfaction in one person. You build deep-seated emotional, spiritual even biological connection to that one person — this is what you are designed for. Do not build deviant behaviors that cause destruction. Porn is like crack. We can lie to ourselves about it – that we can casually dabble around with it. If you think you are not addicted, try going three weeks without it. You”
John Crowder, Money. Sex. Beer. God.: Ditching Religion for the Joy of Incarnation

“In me is working a power stronger than every other power. The life that is in me is a thousand times bigger than I am outside.”
Smith Wigglesworth

“The Bible is the Word of God: supernatural in origin, eternal in duration, inexpressible in valor, infinite in scope, regenerative in power, infallible in authority, universal in interest, personal in application, inspired in totality. Read it through, write it down, pray it in, work it out, and then pass it on. Truly it is the Word of God. It brings into man the personality of God; it changes the man until he becomes the epistle of God. It transforms his mind, changes his character, takes him on from grace to grace, and gives him an inheritance in the Spirit. God comes in, dwells in, walks in, talks through, and sups with him.”
Smith Wigglesworth

“Great faith is the product of great fights. Great testimonies are the outcome of great tests. Great triumphs can only come out of great trials.”
Smith Wigglesworth
