The
most significant events to have taken place in this world-right from
the very beginning-have been preceded by an overshadowing... a 'coming
upon' by the Spirit of God.
Overshadowed,
an inspiring message by AJ Butel, is launched from the Scripture in
Luke 1:35, where Mary is visited by an angel and told of the baby she
will conceive. When she asks how this is possible, Gabriel responds
that the Holy Spirit will come upon her and OVERSHADOW her. This word
'overshadow' specifically means to envelop in a haze of brilliancy and
to invest with preternatural (supernatural) influence. Upon her "YES",
Mary is then overshadowed, impregnated with the DNA of Heaven (Jesus),
and revival is birthed throughout the earth!
In Overshadowed,
AJ looks at how the Holy Spirit is searching for those TODAY whom He
can come upon, to envelop in His Glory, impart His supernatural
influence, and advance His Kingdom purpose.
Taking
the reader on a journey of intimate discovery, AJ firstly elaborates on
the simply stunning benefits of God's overshadowing-being infused with
His creativity, validation, strength, boldness, beauty and
fruitfulness. She then unfolds what lies within human nature that often
rejects the Holy Spirit's resting upon us, and teaches how to cultivate
a heart that is welcoming and willing to host and release His
presence... A place where His life can be nurtured and multiplied.
This
is a significant hour of awakening within the Church, to BECOME the
Body of Christ-fully outworking His love, grace and power. And the
world is rocking on its axis, awaiting our response... yearning for our
embrace and manifestation of His heart.
Overshadowed
is a compelling prophetic invitation for us to partner with the
Lord-completely overshadowed-to see His supernatural influence at
work-bringing reformation to the nations!

Overshadowed
will awaken and unlock something unknown and unvoiced within your
spirit. It is not for the content or the complacent. It is a prophetic
picture to be pondered and embraced as it raises both questions and
issues challenges. As I turned the pages of this beautifully woven work
I could not help but sense the Spirit's call. It is an invitation to
young and old, male and female, King and priest to rise up and be
something more than we've ever seen realised. And in doing so, capture
the essence of what we are truly destined to be.

While
reading Overshadowed I found myself touched and tearful because AJ's
book hits on so many God-things in a heartfelt way. It's easy to see
that Overshadowed has been written, not as a great theory, but from a
heart that has history with God and is hungry for more! I have no doubt
that you will be "overshadowed" by the Holy Spirit as you read this
passionate, powerful, creative, poetic book-loaded with revelation and
depth.

Butel's new book, Overshadowed is a distinct call to the body of Christ
to rise out of fear and distraction and tap into the Church's
desperateness for something more. Through her lush writing style she
reveals how we can jettison our past emotional and spiritual baggage
and begin to allow the Lord's enveloping presence to invade our
lifestyles. Her skillful imagery and use of language helps such strong
medicine, desperately needed by the Body of Christ, to go down sweetly!
Congratulations AJ for doing your part to call the Church to be
carriers of His Glory.

I
believe with all of my heart there is a new breed of revivalist
emerging in the earth today. God is intent on giving the nations of the
earth to His Son as His inheritance, and because of this He is raising
up a generation, young and old, who will be anointed for revival, to
see nations of the earth turn to God. My friend, AJ Butel, has written
a book for this new breed of revivalists. Everything Jesus did He did
as a man fully surrendered to the Holy Spirit, and then He turned to us
and said, "As the Father has sent me, I also send you." If this new
breed of revivalists are going to walk in a "greater works" anointing
as described in John 14, which they must if they are going to see
nations turn to God, then they must learn how to give themselves
completely to the Holy Spirit.
There is a fresh wind of
the Holy Spirit blowing right now and God is pouring out His Spirit in
an unprecedented way. This book will be used to bring people into a
fresh baptism of the Holy Spirit, and ignite a fire in them which will
in turn ignite nations. AJ has done a marvelous job at not only
inspiring us to go further than we ever have in our relationship with
the Holy Spirit but also gives practical advice on how to get there.
She not only paints a picture of where we are headed, but shows us the
steps to get there. As you read this book, get ready to be enrolled in
the School of the Spirit and experience a journey that will leave you
forever marked and ruined for everything but revival.

Butel is a wonderful wordsmith. She is one of the few writers I have
ever experienced who uses words to paint prolific pictures of unseen
spiritual realities. Her book, Overshadowed, is an exciting and
revelatory journey right in to the very center of the Kingdom of God. I
found myself moved, challenged and inspirited as the Holy Spirit walked
me through the pages of this book.
I couldn't help but
think that the author herself must have been experiencing the theme of
this manuscript as she penned its words. This book is sure to take any
Believer on a tour into the very palace of God Himself. May all of us
be Overshadowed like the virgin Mary and be impregnate with Christ
himself!
