Reverend Barbara A. Thorne was born again in 1945, at the age of nine and began fulfilling the call of God on her life in 1969. By 1970 she was working in the ministry as the pastor of a small Methodist mission house in Tuscumbia, Alabama. It was during this time that she experienced what most charismatic Christians would call revival.
During this six and a half-year outpouring of God's Spirit, Reverend Thorne saw many saved, healed and delivered by God's awesome love. When the revival ended God led her to Rhema Bible Training Center to learn the word of faith. Since then she has gone on to pioneer churches abroad, in South Africa and in Europe.
Currently, Rev. Thorne was founder and pastor of Harvest Family Church, a non-denominational Christian fellowship, located in Somerset Massachusetts.
She was also founder and dean of International Bible School. Rev. Thorne served the Lord for thirty-two years, traveling the globe, preaching and teaching the uncompromised Word of God and ministering in the power of the Holy Spirit.
Her heart was to raise up faith-filled leaders, in the Body of Christ, for the work of the ministry, both in the U.S. and internationally - to teach believers to fulfill their calling and live victoriously in Christ through the unfailing love of God.

Pressure increases to cause you to focus on the cares of this life. Forces of pressure and fear cause you to entertain questions like, "What if we don't have enough to meet the need?"The Gospel of Mark, the fourth chapter verse 14 says, "the sower sows the Word."...
I asked my church, "What is the first thing that comes to mind when I mention the word Christmas"? I wanted them to be honest and I also told them not to get religious. Now, I am asking you the same question. What is the first thing that comes to your mind? Is it...
I am going to teach you some things on prayer and intercession. Now I have not taught on this subject in a long time; however, the Lord has just recently released me to do so. Intercession is such a powerful tool for the Christian but it must be understood....
Some time ago I wrote about and dealt with the issue of helplessness—which is a form of trained fear. Today I want to deal with breaking the bonds of containment, which fear produces in your life. Proverbs 23:7 tells us, "For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he."...
I want you to picture a boulder. This boulder is smooth and flat on top except for a deep indentation in the middle of it, due to a steady drip of water coming from above the boulder. The hollowed out place did not happen overnight. It took many years of slowly...
