Difficult situations occur every day, all over the world. They can occur in our homes, on our jobs, and even in our churches. As Christians, we must face these challenges and understand their roots in the spiritual world. We must also answer the call to witness Christ in everyone, especially those who cause us difficulty and distress. In "More than Conquerors II: They That Are with Us: A Believer's Guide to Overcoming Opposition and Ethical Dilemmas, " minister and author Thomas Randolph Wood Jr. shows through real-world examples how true victory over situations, circumstances, and difficult persons is available through Jesus Christ.The helpful, encouraging lessons of "They That Are with Us" offer answers to the hard and sometimes overwhelming challenges we encounter in our lives today. Perhaps we struggle with money, with relationships, with the future, or with faith; by sharing our stories and sharing the word of God, we can learn to honestly support each other in our walks both inside and outside the physical structures of our church buildings. Through this testimony and witness, we experience the true will of God for our congregations, for ourselves, and for our world.
Pesach (Passover) is the sacred holiday where the Jewish people retell the story of their ancestral flight out of Egypt. Each year they celebrate their journey from bondage to freedom. Each person identifies with the story as though they, themselves were oppressed slaves under the wrath of Pharaoh. One of the most fundamental truths about life is that everyone experiences their own Egypt. People have a choice to live under the tyranny of Pharaoh or experience an exodus and travel to a land flowing with milk and honey. Based on a true story, this is the retelling of one woman's escape from Egypt. Adira Bat Avraham shares her incredible journey that led her to a place of personal and spiritual freedom. Adira is an exceptionally strong woman who struggled through unbelievable circumstances. She overcame incredible odds to achieve freedom for herself and her for her family. Along the way, she learns to validate her own voice and cries for justice. Adira's inspirational story is about healing, deliverance, redemption, and finding hope.
Most Christians think their minds will automatically cooperate with them in their walk as Christians. However, this isn't true. The mind must be brought under subjection to the spirit of the living God for this to happen. The book you are holding will help you with this process. It lays out practical applications for using the Bible for the purpose of renewing the mind and making it your friend. We must, with our minds, love God and purpose to serve Him. We must also come to the place where we understand we have been self-serving. Only the teaching of the Bible will bring this to fruition in the mind of the believer. That is what MAKE YOUR MIND YOUR FRIEND is all about. The author used the principles laid out in this book with life-changing results both in ministry and his personal life. As you apply what is taught in this book to your life, you may begin to experience new levels of freedom in your mind. Some of the principles set forth you may or may not know, however it is all supported by Scriptures. As you take this journey, keep a God-centered mindset, and you will be blessed.
Man's demise has always been situated predominantly in the fact that he does not want to abide in God's Will. Man wants to do and achieve everything on his own steam and energy. This book shows man's weaknesses and reveals to man the way back into God's Will, including the results of such a dedicated life. In this book, it is also then downplayed against the life beyond God's Will with the consequences of such a life.
You hold in your hands what we might call THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS. In primal, tribal language that mirrors the picture language of Hebrew we have the forgiveness and grace of the New Testament, the New Covenant written with the very blood of the God/Man, Jesus, our Lord, our Savior; the only begotten Son of God our Father. This document innately trains the heart and soul to take dominion over our own flesh, over powers and principalities and over the subtle influences of the world system to step into the excellence of the Kingdom Of God and of His Christ. It recognizes the anointing of 1John 2:20 and 27 that lives within those who believe and teaches us all things. It honors the Holy Spirit and the Body of Christ, while training the soul in the language of love of God and love of people. We've been able to live without it for all these years... You don't have to live without it anymore

What is the core of Jesus' good news ("gospel"), how does it differ from Paul's good news, and how relevant is it to today's world? A physics teacher gives his personal answers to these questions.
The world today is facing a bewildering array of problems where human behavior is both brazen and bizarre. Those who are searching for a way out are daring to ask fundamental questions: What is man's rightful place? Are we a doomed species? Is God becoming weary of mankind? In Man's Fate and God's Choice, Bhimeswara Challa shares his comprehensive study of human behavior that suggests that the very paradigm of our thinking is inappropriate for the current challenges we face. In a thoughtful, innovative presentation of ideas, Challa posits that any betterment in human behavior needs a cathartic change at the deepest level, ultimately reawakening the intelligence of the human heart. He begins by examining the greatest challenge of this generation of human beings and continues by placing the multiple identities of man in perspective, reviewing our growing insensitivity to human suffering. Finally, he looks to the living world for inspiration, metaphors, and models for human transformation. Man's Fate and God's Choice incisively covers an array of issues and proposes an agenda for action as it challenges those who see misery and ask "Why?" to also see the promise in the rainbow and then ask "Why not?"
"Our way must be: never knowingly support lies Having understood where the lies begin-step back from that gangrenous edge Let us not glue back the flaking scale of the Ideology, not gather back its crumbling bones, nor patch together its decomposing garb, and we will be amazed how swiftly and helplessly the lies will fall away, and that which is destined to be naked will be exposed as such to the world." -Alexander Solzhenitsyn Enlightenment writer Voltaire was amazed that twelve fishermen, some of them unlettered, from an obscure place in the world called Galilee, challenged an empire through self-denial and patience and eventually established Christianity. He seriously thought that twelve philosophers or intellectuals, himself included, would do the opposite and crush Christianity. Voltaire's self-appointed cheerleaders such as Diderot, Helvitius, d'Holbach, D'Alembert, Lametrie, and Baron Cloots, among others, tried to do just that and wrote volumes of work trying to tear down the basis of Christianity and erect an edifice of their own. Diderot in particular declared, "I would sacrifice myself, perhaps, if I could annihilate forever the notion of God." Cloots wrote, "We shall see the heavenly royalty condemned by the revolutionary tribunal of victorious Reason." Lametrie produced Man: A Machine, and an entire French encyclopedia was written between 1751 and 1772 by those philosophers because Christianity, to a large degree, had to go. Voltaire would send letters to his disciples and friends saying, "ecrasez l'infame." Rousseau, of course, was a disciple of Voltaire and declared that Voltaire's work "inspired me." The French Revolution failed. Yet like all significant revolutions before and after that period, the French Revolution indirectly had a theological root which was then a categorical and metaphysical rejection of Logos. That theological substratum has jumped from one era to the next and had and still has historical, political, economic, and spiritual ramifications. This book is about the historical and theological struggle of that conflict, which had its inception at the foot of the cross.
Advance praise for Special Intentions "Special Intentions reminds us of the importance of not simply praying for what we need, but for what others need. Jesus taught us to ask God for our daily bread, but he also asked us to love one another. Commending our friends and families (and co-workers, neighbors, acquaintances and even those who bother us) to the care of God is a key aspect of that love, and an important element of the Christian tradition. "Claire Coleman's sensitive new work will help readers to more fully enter into this rich stream of the spiritual life." --James Martin S.J, author of My Life with the Saints "If you've ever offered up a simple 'God help him' at the sight of someone less fortunate, then this book will resonate with your innate sense that prayers have power. Claire Coleman offers a graceful, easy way to benefit others with her beautifully written portraits of those in need. Take her advice, say a prayer for a stranger and make the world a better place." --Patricia Sheridan, Assistant Editor/Features, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette "While Special Intentions is a beautiful meditative book for the person alone in prayer before God, it likely also will be will be an inspiration for those in prayer groups, and friends who come together to talk about their life's journeys." --Dianne M. Traflet, J.D., S.T.D., Associate Dean, Immaculate Conception Seminary School of Theology, Seton Hall University "Prayer is a personal experience, but sometimes we need a little reminder. Claire Coleman's Special Intentions is the perfect book to keep close at hand and close to the heart to reference, to inspire, and to share with others." --Amelia Grey, author of twenty-three books " The] listings of special intentions are so global and yet personal, so ordinary and yet profound." --Sr. Joan Noreen, OLME, co-founder and director of Our Lady's Missionaries of the Eucharist Host, Eucharistic Journey, Eternal World Television, (EWT) Network "Ms. Coleman reminds us that every one of us is, for very different reasons, in need of prayers.... Her ability to lead us to pray for someone we suddenly notice, think about, and then care about--someone who we don't even know -- is truly a gift. --Dr. Sharon Latchaw Hirsh, president, Rosemont College, Rosemont, Pennsylvania
Have you ever asked how God's knowledge of the future impacts your life today? Frustrating God offers a challenge to the assumptions of open theism and provides answers that are both refreshing and new. Theologians and laypeople alike have struggled with the extent God's knowledge, the limitations of human free will, and the practical implications these ideas have for everyday life. Why doesn't God do something about all the evil in the world? Have you ever tried to answer the question about God's goodness in light of the fact that people He created will be lost for all eternity? How can God answer prayers if He does not know and may not be able to anticipate the future consequences of those answers? How do we resolve the apparent conflict between human freedom and God's overwhelming power? You can find the answer to these and many more questions in Frustrating God. In this challenge to the theological view of open theism, Pastor Luis Scott offers a radically new alternative to the seemingly tense relationship between God's foreknowledge and human free will. This deepened understanding of God's nature can enhance your perception of a God so magnificent that the only word to describe our struggle to know Him is frustrating. In Frustrating God you will begin a journey to a deeper knowledge of the mysterious God of the Bible-the God who baffles us, but loves us enough to lay the penalty of sin upon His beloved Son.
Why are some people rich and successful? How did they achieve success? Did they have an external influence, or did they succeed through their own hard work? We all have desires and aspirations for money, power, and fame. At the back of it is the need for financial security and achievement. Although these things are common across people, there is a huge variation as to what different people achieve in life. What are the reasons for this anomaly? The reasons lie within us. Although there is no restriction in having dreams and wishes, we set very low targets and goals for ourselves. The hard fact is that you may achieve 70 percent or 90 percent of your target, but you will never achieve more than your target. By setting lower targets and by having lower aspirations, you are only stunting your growth. To start with, all of us have same the potential, but most of us are not even aware of the powers of our mind and our body. Professor Ahluwalia highlights all these aspects and lays down the road map for you to realize your power and potential and how to succeed in life, achieving the success you richly deserve.
