Pastor Stephen Hockey

Discovering who you are under the shadow

of the Almighty.

"I am so proud of Stephen for writing his book on "Shadows & Mirrors". As his father I have watched him grow into an intelligent, strong young man, not afraid to take on new challenges and see him accomplish everything he puts his mind to, and I salute and congratulate him for that! 

As his spiritual father, I can say that he is the most dedicated, faithful, and diligent man of God I know. He is always praying and seeking the Lord's face. He receives so much revelation from the Holy Spirit and loves to share his revelations with me. That is why I love his book, "Shadows & Mirrors". Stephen's insight on what it means to "abide under the shadow of the Almighty" (Psalm 91:1) carries so much weight. It is important to understand where our true identity lies and not to be deceived by the devil's influences. We are to be the exact mirror image of Jesus Christ here on earth and represent the true Father of Love and Grace. There are too many broken mirrors that people look into, which leads to so much pain, hurt, disappointments, and even destruction.

I love how Stephen shows us exactly how to make the right decisions and choices in life, standing wholly on the Word of God! If you are struggling with your identity, then "Shadows and Mirrors" is the book for you. I strongly recommend this book and know that it will bless and enrich your life! Well done Stephen on a wonderfully written book! "

""Shadows & Mirrors is a timely book in this season. God is reviving the church and bringing it back to a place where we are impacting lives and changing our nations. There is however a challenge. Many people are facing major identity crisis. They do not know who they are, they are confused about their identity.

True identity is found in the Lord, we have to go into the presence of the Lord to experience a revival of our identity. This is where we discover who we are and what we are called to do. Stephen Hockey who has grown up in revival, experiencing the power and presence of God has written a book that will help the Christian rediscover who they really are.

His personal testimony and journey which he shares in the book helps you see that even when you fall away and sin captures your life, the best thing to do is go back in the presence of a loving God. Healing and restoration are in that presence.

As the son of a revivalist, he has become a powerful minister and revivalist himself. This book will revive your love for God and bring you back into Gods loving arms, where you will look into the true mirror of the Word of God and the presence of God. In this place you will be revived.

Congratulations on your first book Stephen, this is the beginning of a great journey. May God use you and this book to touch many lives across the nations.""

"We are living in a time and age where almost everyone is challenged with questions like “who am I?” and “what is my purpose in life?” – Stephen has penned an exceptional book about our IDENTITY IN CHRIST and more important recognizing how our identity in Him goes hand in hand with His purpose and plan for each one of us.

All of us look into a mirror on a daily basis – and often the reflection we see is distorted, or even shattered. Shadows & Mirrors offers Biblical guidance and advice from personal experience on silencing the voice of the devil and renewing your mind about WHO YOU REALLY ARE.

As you read through the pages of this book, may you hear & see through the prompting of the Holy Spirit how much He loves and cares for you and realize that you are crowned with glory and honour."

"Every generation faces intense battles that seek to confine and contain that generation. The solution to the crises faced by the generation is always encrypted into those that live in it. It is up to that generation to find the answers and apply them to the crises in order to save the generation from self-destruction. One of the challenges our generation is facing is that identity disorientation. People seem to not know who they really are. The menu has been filled with all manner of options that are designed to accelerate the process of self-destruction. 

When Identity is lost people are distracted, disoriented, depressed, discouraged, and discontent. These are the descriptors that have been normalized. We cannot lie down and play dead, or bury our heads in the sands of time and pretend like nothing is happening. Suicides have gone up, divorce and family dysfunction are rife, the use of antidepressants is at an all-time high, and the legalization of marijuana a dangerous hallucinogen opened up a pandora's box in many countries.

This is not a message of doom and gloom as we have enough of those going around. This is a message to make us aware that where there is a crisis, there is a solution. God has raised Stephen Hockey as a voice for our generation to bring us back to the original plan of God for this generation. As a prophetic voice, Stephen has penned a book that is a wake-up call to the church and those that would dare read its pages. The message is simple, “Are you looking at the mirror of the Word of God, or are you staring at a grotesque shadow of that which was never meant to be?”. It is a clarion call for the church to look unto Jesus the author and perfecto of our faith. A call to imitate the one who has a legitimate and genuine love for those He created.

With a beautiful writing style that is both captivating and informative, Stephen takes the reader on a journey of breaking out of the bondage that satan has so well decorated as an alternative. He skillfully weaves his own story into the story, helping the reader see that they too can become the protagonist in this “happily ever after” story. With more people becoming aware of who they are and how to break the prison door we will start a movement of people that chose to look at the real Jesus and walk in their God-given identity.

As a PK Stephen brings out a conversation that may be uncomfortable for some, yet necessary to move the church forward. Who should read Shadows and Mirrors? Pastors, ministers, parents, young adults, and teens that want to rediscover true identity and walk in the newness of life. Enjoy the journey, don’t become a statistic, rise above the clutter, and make a difference in your generation.

Publishing this book was a great honor, how both God and Stephen would entrust Faithland Publishers with the honor of facilitating a solution to be birthed through their hands is a work of God indeed. As I went through the manuscript I had that knowing in my heart that I was holding an answer for our generation. Many millions of people indeed be blessed."

"I had the pleasure of reading Pastor Stephen's book, "Shadows and Mirrors," and I must say that it was a truly enlightening experience. This book delves into the topic of identity - both our own and that of God - in a profound and insightful way. What I loved most about this book is that the author weaves the theme of identity through every chapter, making it clear that understanding who we are in Christ is of utmost importance.

Our faces are the most intimate part of our bodies, and they connect us to others in a way that nothing else can. However, we can only know what our face looks like through a reflection - a mirror. Similarly, we can only truly understand our own identity when we look to Christ, who reflects the image of the Father. When we behold Christ the image of the Father we see our own reflection in His eyes when we see Him face to face. That is how we are know and revealed – through the Son of God.

As I read this book, I was reminded that our identity is not something we can create for ourselves. It is not something we can find in our jobs, our relationships, or even in our own self-reflection. True identity comes from knowing Christ and being known by Him. In Him, we find the freedom to shed false reflections and beliefs, and to discover the unique identity that God has given us.

I believe that "Shadows and Mirrors" is a powerful resource for anyone who is seeking to understand their identity in Christ. Pastor Stephen's words are both practical and profound, offering insight and encouragement for those who long to live in a face-to-face relationship with God. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to unlock their God-given identity and live a life that is rooted in Him"
