What should we keep in mind when we pray for healing?
How can we share the gospel more effectively?
Steve Schaefer contends that when we understand Jesus’ central message—the kingdom of God—we are better equipped to handle such issues. The Old Testament prophets predicted the coming of God’s end-time kingdom. But the New Testament reveals a surprising twist--the kingdom arrives in two stages. The first stage arrived with Jesus’ first coming. The second stage will arrive at his second coming. So what happens in between?
Living in the Overlap clarifies a topic that many Christians find mysterious, exploring the challenges and benefits of living in a kingdom that is both “already” and “not yet.”
As Schaefer says, “We who live in the overlap are amphibious creatures, navigating two worlds simultaneously as we begin our transition from one to the other. We are Jed Clampetts, tasting the splendors of Beverly Hills without having lost our Ozark accents or our fondness for fried possum and crow gizzards. Like Jed, we should not expect a seamless transition.”
A unique feature of the book is The Kingdom Dartboard, a full-color chart that illustrates 18 major characteristics of the kingdom of God as predicted by the Old Testament prophets. The chart may be downloaded from this website for non-profit educational purposes or personal study.
Living in the Overlap offers strategies for successful kingdom living, tackling issues such as:
Praying for healing
Walking by faith
Dealing with temptation
Being used by God
Loving others
