Just like Superman, who can leap over any hurdle and defeat every foe, followers of Christ have the supernatural ability to conquer the challenges we face. But the problem for both Superman and us is there's a kryptonite that steals our strength. Of course, both Superman and kryptonite are fictional. But spiritual kryptonite is not. This study offers answers to why so many of us are unable to experience the divine strength that was evident among first-century Christians. Killing Kryptonite offers answers to why so many of us are unable to experience the divine strength that was evident among first-century Christians. Includes discussion questions for group study.

CHAPTER FIVE “Come, let us go down and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech” Gen 11:7 “And suddenly, there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind...” Acts 2:2 THE DIVINE INTERVENTION MANKIND WAS ON A ROAD to self-destruction by her quest to live apart from her source. We would here consider the stepping in of the community of the God-head. You would recall that at the event of man’s creation, the same conversation ensued. “ Then God said, let us make man in our image...” (Gen. 1:26) This erection is needed to be stopped by a loving Father. Every structure not founded on the Eternal Rock will surely be pulled down. The pathway to the restoration of man would never be blocked. We find here the answer to why there are so many languages on the earth and why the human race spread so rapidly across the earth after the flood. In both cases above, there was a divine intervention - as well as a descending from above. The sound from

Is it possible that an ancient blueprint holds the secret behind the events of our times? Could this blueprint lie behind the rise and fall of leaders and governments? Could events that took place nearly three thousand years ago now be determining the course of our world and with it the course of our lives? Could ancient figures from the Middle East hold the key to the leaders of our own day, what they do, when they rise, and when they fall? Is it possible that this ancient paradigm has determined not only the events of modern times but also their timing-even down to the exact days and dates? Could a mystery from the ancient Middle East have foretold the outcomes of current events more accurately than any poll or expert-even the outcomes of presidential elections? Has this mystery even touched the events of your life? Does the paradigm reveal what will take place in the future? And does it contain a warning critical for every person in this generation? Prepare to be stunned, s

God's love is universal and His thoughts are higher CHAPTER FOUR “ And they said, ‘Come, let us build ourselves a city and a tower whose top is in the heavens, let us make a name for ourselves” Gen 11:4 “When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place” Acts 2:1 THE QUEST IN WHOSE NAME ARE YE GATHERED? Every structure that is not erected in the name of the Lord would surely be pulled down. In the previous chapter, we clarified the coming together to ‘make’ by mankind as well as another coming together to ‘make’ which was an absolute work of the Lord. A good illustration is in the construction of a house. The first requirement is to put together the bricks and other materials that would be needed for the construction. In recent times, the blocks have to be moulded (made) into shape. That would be closely followed by the building process. Mankind (in her fallen state) came together to build a city for themselves apart from God. We could clea

God's love is universal and His thoughts are higher CHAPTER THREE “ Then they said to one another, come let us make...” Gen 11:3 “These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication...” Acts 1:14 HEART MATTERS – MOTIVE HOW QUICKLY THE MEN reasoned with one another and decided to embark on a massive construction. How often we like to make bricks for ourselves as well. A closer look into that verse paints a clear picture of the heart of the fallen man. They had brick for ‘stone’, and they had asphalt for mortar. This indicates a binding together of stones with mortar - stones symbolically represent resistance. The heart of the fallen man constantly stands in resistance to the counsel of the Lord. Moses ascended to the Mount of the Lord and came back with the tablets of stone upon which the laws were inscribed. The problem was not with the written laws because we would later see in the thirty sixth chapter of the book of Ezekiel that the promise of the Lord thus sta
