Livestream by Ivan Filby is not a typical "devotional" book. It's not filled with nice, easy, warm fuzzies about how God loves you and has a wonderful plan for your life.
And yet ... This is EXACTLY what Filby shares throughout this book! Through mostly stories and anecdotes of how the Lord has given him "words of knowledge" or prophetic insight as he has ministered all over the world, it is clear God DOES love us and truly has an amazing plan for His people!
Beyond telling his own personal stories, Filby also explains what exactly it is like to receive such understanding/insights/knowledge from God. By doing so, the reader can learn how God is doing the same thing in one's own life. The author is confident the Lord does this in all the lives of true followers of Jesus.
And this is the caveat: this book is NOT for everyone. Ivan Filby did not write this book for the general public. This book has a specific target audience: it is for dedicated, true followers of the Lord Jesus Christ. Others will find it nonsensical, outlandish, or plain crazy.
But then, those are labels the people applied to Jesus, so it's probably a good fit.

I read this amazing little book over the last couple of days. No, I didn't learn anything new. Sometimes that's the way it is with the best books, we are reminded of what we already know and are encouraged and empowered to live it out. That's what Ivan Filby's little book has done for me. I think it can do the same for you. Please read it!! Encouraging, empowering, convicting... a great little book!
(Not sure why it says 'Kindle edition,' I read the printed version.)

This is a really practical, inspirational handbook on how to tune into the Holy Spirit in prayer and ministry. After reading several books on prayer this year, which dig so deep into the biblical material that the why but not the how was explained, this book counterbalanced my explorations.
Still full of theological explanations of the work of the Holy Spirit, Ivan has included many examples from his own life which has added humour and vulnerability to this teaching. He covers what this kind of ministry can look like in practice, what pitfalls to look out for, the gravity of handling prophecy and healing in sensitive ways, and the importance of committing to the groundwork of prayer and biblical understanding in order for the ministry to flow from the right motivation.
Because his writing style is so accessible, and his examples are so practical, this book could have a really far reach to equip many people for 21st century mission. Can highly recommend it!
