Is Heaven on Earth Really Possible?
When we struggle with defeat and discouragement, the Holy Spirit is the key to victory and peace. Best-selling author Dr. Myles Munroe shows how to bring order to the chaos in your life, receive God’s power to heal and deliver, fulfill your true purpose with joy, be a leader in your sphere of influence, and be part of God’s government on earth. We have access to the unseen world of the Spirit and can bring heavenly influence to earth. When you receive God’s Spirit into your life, you will find that His gifts are your birthright. Receive the fullness of God’s Spirit and start living in the spiritual power that God has promised you. “It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send Him to you” (John 16:7 NKJV).
Each day’s reading includes teaching and encouragement, a Scripture reading from both the Old and New Testaments, and a thought for the day to draw you closer to God the Father and His purposes for you. Explore the nature and role of men as God intended, addressing such issues as: What does the Bible really teach about men and women? What does it mean to be male? What are the purpose and design of the man? How is a man uniquely different from a woman? What is a man’s role as a husband and father? What are a man’s sexual needs? How are men and women meant to relate to one another? How can a man build a better life for himself, his family, and the world?
Through this devotional, you can strengthen your relationship with your heavenly Father as you discover how to fulfill your destiny and potential as an integral part of His eternal purposes.
Just This is a collection of brief and evocative meditations and
practices that invites us to cultivate the gift of waking up to the
beauty of reality in all its glorious ordinariness. With his
signature blend of contemplation, theology, and pastoral
sensitivity, Fr Richard Rohr creates a spaciousness for the soul to
grow into a kind of seeing that goes far beyond merely looking to
recognising and thus appreciating. This is the heart of
contemplation, the centerpiece of any inner dialogue that frees us
from the traps of our perceptions and preoccupations. The
contemplative mind does not tell us what to see; it teaches us how
to see what we behold.
A unique and validating look at the tension you feel between
disillusionment and a desire for truth, Searching for Enough helps
you see your doubt not as an emotion to fear but as an invitation
to be followed. Do you ever find yourself thinking, "I'm not
enough, and I'm never going to be. And I know I'm not supposed to
say this, but God's not enough for me either." Whether or not we
attend church, deep down we wonder if the biblical story of faith
is really enough for the complexity of the world in which we live.
We fill our lives with other things, hoping that maybe the next
experience or accomplishment will complete us. Yet with every goal
we reach, we still feel discouraged and anxious. In Searching for
Enough, Pastor Tyler Staton draws on ancient and modern insights to
introduce us, as if for the first time, to Jesus' disciple Thomas:
history's most notorious skeptic. Like Thomas, we are caught
between two unsatisfying stories: We want to believe in God but
can't reconcile his presence with our circumstances and internal
struggles. But what if there's a better story than shame? What if
there's redemption so complete that there's nothing left to hide?
What if there is a God who can heal your resentments, fears, and
loneliness in such a profound way that you feel whole? From a place
of spiritual companionship and deep authenticity, Tyler shows us
that it is not an empty tomb that will change our lives, but the
presence of the living God. Whether you are a distant skeptic, an
involved doubter, or a busy but bored Christian, Searching for
Enough invites you to find enough in a God who offers the only
promises that never disappoint.

Gebeur daar vandag nog wonderwerke? Groot wonderwerke, soos genesing
van terminale siekte en kreupelheid?
Isak Burger vertel in God se wonderbaarlike genesingskrag 11

en wat bonatuurlik genees is. Saam met die ware verhale van mense wat
persoonlik wonderbaarlike wonderwerke beleef het, praat Isak oor die
aard van wonderwerke, wonderwerke in die Bybel en die mite dat God en
die wetenskap altyd teenoor mekaar gestel moet word.
Dié ware verhale van bonatuurlike genesings sal elkeen wat dit lees,
verseker dat jý as gelowige Hom ook kan vra om die onmoontlike te doen.
Soms sê Hy ja ...
God se wonderbaarlike genesingskrag getuig van die genade, liefde en
genesingskrag van God – Hy wat gister, vandag en tot in ewigheid
dieselfde is.
Holy Fear is not a topic you'll hear much about these days. But if you
want to build a faith that stands strong through troubled times, you
cannot afford to ignore this book.
In The Awe of God: The Astounding Way A Healthy Fear Of God Transforms
Your Life, John Bevere invites you to take a fresh look at what it
means to work out your salvation with fear and trembling. This healthy,
holy, and largely forgotten virtue is the uncommon path to a more
fulfilled and fruitful life.
In this book you will see why godly fear is the foundation of:
• Wisdom, understanding, and knowledge
• Foresight, clarity, and divine direction
• Maturity and conformity to the image of Jesus Christ
• Building an eternal legacy
• Confidence, fearlessness, and security
• Freedom from the fear of man as all lesser fears are eclipsed
If you look at the men and women in Scripture, the ones who lived and
finish well all have one thing in common: they are marked by holy fear.
The Awe of God was designed to be read slowly and intentionally. At the
end of each of the 42 chapters are five tools to help you deepen your
understanding and apply what the Spirit of God is teaching you.
Experience the intimate relationship with God that you have always
longed for by unlocking this countercultural message.
