Feeling like you've blown it? Reached the point of no return? That
your life hasn't gone as planned? If so, you are not alone. We all
know what it feels like to have life disappoint us and not work out
as we'd hoped. We all know what it's like to long for something
different, something better, and something more... This six-session
video study (DVD/digital video sold separately) shows us how God
can use our messes and still make a masterpiece. Drawing on his own
experiences and pivotal Bible stories, Louie Giglio, pastor and
author of Don't Give the Enemy a Seat at Your Table, shows how God
is all about comebacks. Samson had blown it repeatedly;
nevertheless, he experiences tremendous triumph at the end of his
life. The prodigal son, as Jesus describes him, returns home in
disgrace only to be welcomed by his father with open arms. The list
goes on: Joseph, Moses, and Peter all experienced comebacks. Jesus
himself performed the greatest comeback of all by rising from the
dead. God is in the business of giving fresh starts, and His plans
will always prevail, even when our plans don't. For the times when
we feel like our lives are in the garbage, and it's hard to see
God's plan, this study guide will help you see: How God uses our
circumstances to strengthen us and fulfill his good plan. How to
respond in spirit when our dreams are dashed. How Jesus' life,
death, resurrection, and ascension is not only enough to save us
but also to sustain us. No matter what kind of disappointment or
grief or pain or trouble or heartache we encounter, God always
offers a new beginning, a change of heart, and a powerful spiritual
turnaround. Our current circumstances do not get the final say in
our lives. God does. Designed for use with The Comeback Video Study
(sold separately).
Jamie Winship spent nearly 30 years living and working in conflict
zones, and during that time he has learned an important truth: all
human conflict originates from fear, and fear originates from a
false view of God, ourselves, and others. Until we exchange what's
false for what's real, we will never experience being fully alive,
fully human, and fully free. Unpacking the power of knowing our
true identity in Christ, Winship takes us on a journey of telling
ourselves the truth, changing our mindsets, and experiencing actual
life transformation that leads to radical courage in the face of
all that life throws at us. With humor, clarity, and real-life
practicality, Living Fearless is your invitation to listen closely
to what God is trying to say to you about himself, about the person
he created you to be--and also about all those other people he
created and loves. If you want to discover the incredible
difference abiding in Christ will make in your life and faith, get
ready to do "a new thing" with God.
"Mother Maria is a saint of our day and for our day; a woman of
flesh and blood possessed by the love of God, who stood face to
face with the problems of this century."--Anthony (Bloom),
Metropolitan of Sourozh Mother Maria Skobtsova (1891-1945) has
emerged as one of the most fascinating religious figures of the
twentieth century. As an Orthodox nun in Paris her home was at once
a soup kitchen for the needy, a center for the renewal of Orthodox
thought, and---under Nazi occupation---a haven for the rescue of
Jews. For the latter cause she ended her life in a concentration
camp. Like Dorothy Day, her writings reflect her deep commitment to
the gospel mandate that unites love of God and love of neighbor.
The introduction is by Jim Forest, secretary of the Orthodox Peace
Fellowship, and author of many books including Praying with Icons
and Confession: Doorway to Forgiveness
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!!!

Revelation for Marriages is about the man and woman who came of age

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."
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 main motive of this book is to draw believers' attention from
false doctrines concerning Holy Spirit baptism, water baptism,
salvation and prayer. This book will enable believers to know their
identity and heritage as children of God. This book also talks
about the personality of Jesus Christ, His baptism and the
importance of His death. This book will also enable believers to
know some of the Bible prophecies concerning the events of the end
time. The Bible says, \"For lack of knowledge my people perish.
This book contains light to direct you. Read it to be wiser.
