Si los cimientos son destruidos, ¿qué pueden hacer los justos? En un tiempo que recuerda mucho los días de Elías, cuando el pueblo de Dios está sumido en la apostasía y el declive moral, surge un llamado resonante para aquellos que se atreven a surgir como faros de luz en la oscuridad. En La unción de Elías, Michelle McClain-Walters refleja nuestro presente, trazando paralelismos con la época del profeta Elías: un tiempo de crisis y despertar espiritual. Con la necesidad de voces de verdad y convicción más pronunciada que nunca, McClain-Walters lanza un llamado claro para una nueva generación de Elías, un grupo de profetas no contaminados por el compromiso, inflexibles en su fe y fervientes en su misión. Están destinados a realinear la brújula espiritual de la iglesia y volver a ponerla en su curso. En estas páginas descubrirás el plano para ser un Elías de la era moderna, listo para ser un catalizador de cambio y avivamiento. Descubrirás: Qué significa caminar en el espíritu y el poder de Elías. Cómo persistir en la oración y mover cielo y tierra a través de la intercesión. Cómo enfrentar la ausencia de paternidad y dirigir los corazones de vuelta a Dios. En un mundo anhelante de verdad y transformación, este no es solo un libro; es un manual para aquellos listos para abrazar su destino profético. McClain-Walters te invita a levantarte en el espíritu y el poder de Elías y liderar la carga para ver no solo avivamiento, sino también reforma y restauración en nuestro tiempo.

To the magic and stargazing of Egypt the Greeks added numerology, geometryand rational thought. The philosophy of Plato and later of the Stoics made astrology respectable, and by the time Ptolemy wrote his textbook the Tetrabiblos, in the second century AD, the main lines of astrological practice as it is known today had already been laid down. In future centuries astrology shifted to Islam only to return to the West in medieval times where it flourished until the shift of ideas during the Renaissance.
