Be still. For some, these two simple words a welcome invitation to
slow down. For others, they feel impossible, out of reach in our
increasingly noisy world, or simply just too hard to maintain.
There is another way. In fact, there are many. In this practical,
easy-to-read guide, Brian Heasley explores the multitude of rhythms
of Christian prayer and devotion available to every believer. From
memorising scripture and prayer running to noticing beauty
everywhere, he demonstrates how we don't need to be static for our
hearts to be still, and how even in the midst of a full, busy life,
we can spend quiet time with God. Be Still is a prayer book for
anyone looking for ways to revitalise the way they pray or who is
struggling to make space for devotional time with God. Packed full
of ideas for different ways to pray and tips and advice for how to
build prayer practices into everyday life, Brian's book will change
the way you think about prayer and devotion and equip you with all
the tools you need to deepen your relationship with God. You can
use the book individually or in small groups, or read it alongside
24-7 Prayer's new Be Still prayer course. It also makes a great
resource for youth leaders looking to help teenagers cultivate
daily rhythms of prayer and spend more quiet time with God, or as a
gift for people starting out on their faith journey or those
returning to faith after a while. Join Brian Heasley, and discover
the different ways in which we can all Be Still.
A Quaker mystic and social activist, Rufus Jones won a Nobel Prize
as co-founder of the American Friends Service Committee. Widely
considered one of the most significant religious voices in America
at the time of his death in 1948, his writings impart an Emersonian
vision of the ever-present reality of God in our souls and in our
world. Indeed, his quintessentially American "affirmative
mysticism" infuses all contemporary spirituality and offers an
uplifting, positive, and powerful message today.
The general understanding of dA (c)jA vu is this: DA (c)jA vu, from
French, literally "already seen", is the phenomenon of having the
strong sensation that an event or experience currently being
experienced has been experienced in the past, whether it has
actually happened or not. So how would you feel if five years of
your life flashes in front of your eyes in a space of five minutes
or your dreams come to life in the same week? Samuel, I have been
in situations where dA (c)jA vu was so clear, I was not sure
whether I was dreaming or living.
We can't let man determine our happiness and our worth, we have to
trust in only God. Man says we are nothing, but God says we are big
people. In this encouraging book, Tarupiwa brings you a message of
hope and comfort. When faced with abuse, rejection and demotion,
this book will give you lessons on how you can survive and thrive
in such situations. YES, man can turn you down, but not with God,
he will bring you up, and make you enter your destiny. This
powerful book contains the secrets of your promotion by God, after
man has demoted you. With Biblical characters, Tarupiwa helps
readers to see beyond the hate, abuse, rejection or demotion and
focus on God's love. We see David, Daniel, Job, Mordecai, Joseph,
Shadrach, Mishack and Abednego, then Jesus, our Lord and Savior. We
see how they were demoted by man then later promoted by God, and we
learn a lot from their experiences. Be blessed as you read this
book!!!
This book reveals what heaven expects from the church. It reveals
what Jesus meant by I will build my church. It is not a critique
but a standard of spiritual measurement and divine alignment as to
the definition of a true church. The true church (The Ekklesia) is
not a denominational gathering of any kind, whether orthodox,
charismatic or pentecostal. The true church is one, which has
placed primacy on building the dispensational temple (the man) only
according to God s pattern. This book will be a great eye opener
for you. You will no longer strive in the flesh any more after
going through this book. The issue of competition, comparison,
sense of inferiority and superiority complex, which are some of the
distraction and strategies of the enemy, will be exposed. Your work
and ministry with God will never remain the same. You can't read
this book and still retain your old mentality and operating system.
Whatever you are building for the Lord from now on shall be to the
Lord's glory and according to his specifications. Personal agenda
will be given up. Deeper truths and insights are made available
inside this book.."
The Dead-Living Church'' re-defines the concept of church (the true
Ekklesia), her global positioning and her responsibilities
according to the original intent of God. Jesus' declaration in
Matthew 16, I will build my church and the gates of Hell shall not
prevail against it far outweighs the theological assumptions and
religious beliefs about what church is supposed to be. This book is
not a product of professionalism; it is a prophetic release by the
Spirit of the living God. The Church is not a denominational
gathering of religious people, but the Ekklesia, the people called
for an assignment, the assembly of legislating on behalf of God on
earth. This book will take you through a journey. Its intent
assuredly will awaken your spirit man to experience a paradigm
shift from Churchianity to that which is God s original intention."
