Book

Press Into the Power

Pressing into the Power takes you on a journey through the bondage of impossibilities and safely guides you to the realm of divine possibilities.

Derek L. Calhoun, a duly consecrated and ordained bishop, laments the fact that we’ve become a society that struggles to discern right from wrong. He also observes how the COVID-19 pandemic, George Floyd protests, and the Jan. 6, 2021, riot in Washington, D.C., have led many to lose hope—just like the Israelites in the days of Jonathan.

But he contends the pandemic and other life-altering events were not a call to run and hide. They were a call to regroup and rise out of the ashes of obscurity. This book examines the power of forgiveness, the liberating power of faith, the intersection of faith and technology and, the transformative power of listening to the Lord. Discover a simplistic approach to moving closer to the Lord that allows you to break free from the routines of religion with the powerful insights in this book.

Very rarely do I find a book that in so good I will spend the day reading to completion. When I got to page 22, I decided that as much as I wanted to keep reading and finish the book, it would be an injustice to myself. How? There are books that I read for pleasure, there are books that I read for entertainment, there are books that I read for self-evolvement, and there are books that I read for knowledge, edification, wisdom, and spiritual growth. I quickly realized that Press into the Power was a book that was packed with edification, wisdom, knowledge, and spiritual enlightenment. Every page of my book is riddled with notes, comments, highlights or underline. Every chapter was thought provoking, confirming, enlightening, encouraging and eye-opening. This book has brought excitement to my spirit to know that God is speaking and confirming His word. Thank you for your obedience to complete this project.

This book is certainly for believers in Christ but also for those that see the chaos in the world and is searching for THE TRUTH. As a believer, it is important for me to have a posture of a student and servant so be a doer and not just a hearer to love God first, love People, and Do the Work of the Kingdom. This book brings great excitement because Bishop Derek Calhoun is full of Godly wisdom and knowledge with understanding. This book reminds me that I have to PRESS in, to be able to walk out my salvation and have a Zoe lifestyle. it also reminds me to be involved in all the tangible things the Lord provides because it’s building me up to be bold in His will and ways. It encourages me to walk with an expectation, to have a perspective like Christ, a work ethic like Christ, to love people like Christ, and serve like Christ as a lifestyle. Press Into The Power also teaches me not to be afraid to also steward my children the same way, teaching them from a young age the way of the Lord and how to be used by Him in walking out their salvation.

This is right on time because PRESSING INTO HOLY SPIRIT has never been out of season. I am thankful for the download of wisdom with practical instructions on how to live for Christ and be able to operate in HIS POWER and AUTHORITY. I also appreciate the time Bishop Derek Calhoun took to make it plain so it's easier to understand what is being communicated and commissioned to the reader.

Press into the Power encourages the believer to position himself under God’s authority so that he can walk in victory, abundance, and power instead of cowering under the intimidating giants of defeat, lack, and fear. Derek Calhoun’s remarkable revelation of God’s omnipotence compels the reader to increase his faith in God so that he can be victorious. He admonishes the body of Christ to be faithful to God in these times in which we live and to prepare for the difficult days that are ahead of us. This book inspired me to keep pressing “toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.” This is a must read for all believers who want to remain standing strong during these difficult times.
