Why is it that so many Christians find it difficult to develop a vibrant and exciting prayer life? Even though prayer is foundational to the Christian life, many are intimidated or uncertain about how to talk to God.

• Gain the understanding and tools to make prayer work--and bring the joy back into their time with God
• Take a journey through the prayers of the Bible, which reveal how to make prayer more personal and powerful

• Follow proven, biblically grounded methods for making prayer a priority, not an afterthought

In 'n samelewing waar fronte voorgehou word en ons soos almal wil wees om in te pas, is dit tyd om ontslae te raak van die behoefte om jou met ander te vergelyk en aan ander se eise te voldoen.

God het aan jou unieke talente gegee sodat jy sy doel vir jou lewe kan vervul. Miskien het jy nog nie jou unieke talente ontdek nie. Neem die eerste stap en vra God om dit wat jou spesiaal en uniek maak aan jou uit te wys. Elke mens verskil immers: vir sommiges het hy leierskapseienskappe gegee; vir ander die gawe om musiek te komponeer. Laat God dan toe om jou unieke talente te gebruik en jou van binne te omvorm om iets kragdadig te doen. Jy sal boonop rus vind in dié wete: God het jou lief net soos jy is.

Through personal experience and countless conversations, speaker and Bible teacher Jennie Allen has come to realize that most of us need to unlearn some deeply damaging messages about our emotions. We've been taught, for example, that emotions are untrustworthy when, in fact, they are a gift from God to help us notice what is wrong and where we need to heal. Your emotions are not something to suppress or ignore. They are meant to be felt, examined, and shared.

In this transformational look at our inner life through the lens of science and Scripture, In Untangle Your Emotions: Naming What You Feel and Knowing What to Do About It Allen shows how, instead of trying to conceal or control our difficult emotions, we can intentionally notice, name, and connect with our feelings in ways that lead to deeper connection and lasting health.

What does the Bible tell us about our emotions?

Does the Bible really tell us that our emotions are untrustworthy? God made us to feel our emotions, to examine and share them—not manage or suppress them. We can learn what it means to live emotionally-healthy lives from studying Jesus’ life and how He cared for and responded to the people around Him.

Join Jennie Allen for the Untangle Your Emotions Bible Study as she helps you discover that emotions that are submitted to God and used for the purposes God intends connect us to each other and to Him.

This six-session study will equip you to:

• Be encouraged through the examples of emotion in Scripture by God the Father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit.
• Identify the unhealthy ways you might be coping with emotions.
• Learn a biblical step-by-step method to help you process, name, and notice what you are feeling.
• Move from apathetic to articulate when it comes to sharing what you feel.

This Conversation Card Deck includes 113 cards — fifteen cards for each session with questions designed to start deep, honest conversations. The card deck is designed to be used with the Untangle Your Emotions Bible Study Guide, sold separately.

Did you ever dream about what you would be when you grew up? We think naturally about our purpose because God tells us that He created us to do great things. But how do we know when we have truly found God’s calling for our lives? Many people live most of their lives striving to find and follow God’s will but still wondering whether they’ve gotten it right. The many pressures, expectations, and distractions we experience can create confusion and anxiety and cause us to doubt whether we are following God’s will or if He even has a plan for us at all.

Beloved Bible teacher Joyce Meyer invites us on a journey to confidence, freedom, and peace through exploring the wisdom of what the Bible tells us about God’s character and about His love and purpose for us. She also offers practical steps to discovering how to build your trust in God, seek His guidance, and overcome the fear of missing out on His best for you.

If you’re struggling to have confidence that you can hear God’s voice and know what He’s created you to be and do, Finding God’s Will for Your Life: Discovering the Plans God Has for You will leave you with more peace and more confidence to live joyfully in God’s love and walk the path He has for you.

Just because you feel like you're in bondage, it doesn't mean you have to stay there.

After reading this book, I will have the insight needed to rupture the enemy's grip on my life. I will gain the invaluable tools needed to fight in the spirit and take up my God-given authority as more than a conqueror in Christ Jesus.

Many believers are not victorious and not living lives of purpose and destiny because they don't understand the schemes and wiles of the devil.

Using powerful teachings, this book will unveil and expose the devil and his kingdom to the very core of his ministry, strategies, and weapons he uses against the church today.

The church has fallen asleep. We do not understand the things of the Spirit. We don't understand the enemy of our souls. He comes to kill, steal, and destroy using satanic strategies, game plans, and arsenals of weapons that he wants us to believe are nonchalant, easygoing, harmless, and unpredictable.

The church is not teaching and equipping believers to teach our hands to war in the spirit. In Psalm 144:1, David asked God, "Lord, teach my hands to war." Now, instead of our hands being taught to fight the good fight, we find ourselves in handcuffs--limited, depleted, and spiritually anemic.

This book will help you unlock your spiritual handcuffs so you can understand the works of the devil and expose him before he sets foot on the battlefield of your life. You will learn how to crush the head of the serpent in any season of your life, and how you can see him coming in the blind spots of your walk with the Lord.

It's time for believers to be trained, equipped, and become a spiritual army. It's time to fight and expose the so-called devil and his entrapments. We will rise up and take back what he has stolen from us once and for all in the unmatchable name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and our Savior. Jesus will be proud that He picked us for the ultimate battle.

Het jy al ooit gevoel jy het al alles op aarde probeer om ’n probleem op te los, maar dat niks werk nie? Het jy al ooit gewonder waar die moeilikhede wat jou in die gesig staar, vandaan kom?

In Jou stryd behoort aan die Here verduidelik Joyce Meyer dat wanneer jy die duiwel – wat werklik is en aktief is in vandag se wêreld – as jou ware vyand en die bron van jou probleme raaksien, jy dit kan oorkom en ’n lewe van vrede, vryheid, geloof en oorwinning leef. Wanneer jy die lewe se aanslae in die gesig staar, is daar sekere dinge wat jy vir jouself moet doen, soos om ywerig God se Woord te bestudeer en toe te pas, Hom te vertrou, te bid, ander te help, en ’n gesindheid van vertroue en ’n dankbare hart te handhaaf. Maar daar is ander dinge wat net God kan doen. Wanneer jy jou deel doen, doen God sy deel – en Hy is altyd gereed en gretig om jou te verdedig en te help.

Joyce fokus nie net op die aard en strategieë van die vyand in hierdie vars benadering tot geestelike oorlogvoering nie, maar ook op die ware karakter en liefde van God, wat jou altyd na oorwinning sal lei. Ongeag hoe moeilik jou uitdagings ook al is, het jy alles wat jy nodig het om elke stryd te wen – want God is aan jou kant!

Frank Rautenbach left South Africa for Los Angeles with stars in his eyes. After having great success with Egoli, 7de laan and movies like Faith like Potatoes and The Bang-Bang Club he thought the world was his oyster.

After years of trying and driving more than 10 000 kilometres to one failed audition after the other Frank had to find a job - a proper job that could put food on his table. He ended up driving a taxi in Los Angeles, just to lose that job too.

Eventually became the church's janitor.

But Frank felt betrayed - God promised him a life of abundance - why hasn't he received it yet? Frank felt like all God’s promises had come to nothing; he felt angry and embarrassed.

Frank had to learn that he couldn't ask God to make all this dreams come true, he is in God's service, not the other way around. Life is not about him, it is about God.
