Welcome to the Way of Fire

Generals of Faith

The Way of Fire is the path of complete surrender to Christ, walking in supernatural authority with full obedience to God. It is Christianity as Jesus demonstrated it and commanded His disciples to walk in—before it became diluted by lukewarm religion.

This wiki documents the theology and teachings of Apostle Delmar Coward Jr., who has walked in miraculous power for over 42 years at Encounter Church in Liberty County, Texas.

About this book, and why it is private for now

The Way of Fire has not been released to the world. We are holding it back until the Lord says it is time to publish it. For now it is a private tool, given to minister to you and to instruct you, entrusted to people we can count on directly and to the people they love. If you are reading this, someone trusts you with it. Steward it well, and let the fire do its work in you.

Testimonies​

Three-panel cinematic biblical comic. Title bar: TESTIMONIES. 1. THE WORD RECEIVED — a woman listening through earbuds to a glowing open book, holy fire kindling in her chest, tears of awe, the chapters pouring in as golden light. 2. SHE SENDS THE FIRE — she sends it to everyone she loves; family and friends of all ages each receive a personal flame through their glowing phones, holy fire passing heart to heart. 3. TRANSFORMED IN CHRIST — the family gathered, each crowned with a Pentecost flame, hands lifted in worship, a cross of light above. Footer bar: THE FIRE SPREADS FROM HEART TO HEART.

The book is already doing its work in the people reading and listening to it.

I sent it to all my family: my siblings, my father, my friends, my relatives, my son Carlos, my husband, my daughter, Asia and her husband, and my mentees. I'm already more transformed in Christ just by hearing the chapters. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥☀️☀️☀️☀️

The Core Message​

"The Book of Acts didn't end in chapter 28. It continues today through those brave enough to pay the price for apostolic authority." — Apostle Delmar

The age of miracles hasn't passed. The same Jesus who healed the sick, raised the dead, and cast out demons 2,000 years ago is still doing the same today through vessels fully surrendered to His will.
