    About this ebook

    The purpose of “But God, You Promised...” is to connect with the heart of believers who are experiencing a “silent” God in the midst of a wilderness wandering, waiting for their promise to materialize. It is a peek into His process of development: when it appears nothing is happening, is when everything is happening.

    By examining the life of Joseph, we will see that it is this very promise from the Lord that becomes the instrument of our purification and development. It is in this long wilderness time that our character and skills are developed, preparing us for the fulfillment of His promise.

    But God, You Promised... is to nudge your faith, encouraging you to keep on keepin’ on! God has you right where he wants you!

    Author

    Martin Schmaltz

    Martin’s passion is to see Jesus manifested in the lives of each believer as they live a lifestyle of Kingdom authority. In his 13 years as a pastor, he has experienced the transformation from traditional Christianity to kingdom illumination. During this time, he has seen the Jesus manifest his power and presence is mighty ways. Many have been healed, delivered and empowered to walk in apostolic authority. Today, Martin is challenging the traditional paradigm of church, enlightening the body of believers to the potential that lies within them. Much of his time is spent ministering the principles of Living In Kingdom Authority and re-alignment of the New Testament church structure. He travels frequently overseas and has ministered in: Okinawa Japan, Swaziland Africa, Cape Town South Africa, Philippines and the Kingdom of Tonga. It is his desire to create a strategic network of individuals whose purpose is to manifest Jesus and His kingdom through the body of Christ.

      Using the life of Joseph and cameo appearances from Abraham, Moses, and David I plan to explore how the promises we receive from God can actually be the instruments of our refining and character development. It’s the purpose of this process to equip and prepare us for the
