Download or read book A Priest in the Home written by James Michael Doyle and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2001-01-03 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is designed for the instruction and encouragement of men to be the leaders in their homes in both spiritual and physical matters. If men will fulfill their responsibilities as spiritual leaders in their homes, the world and the church would see an immediate revival of Gods Spirit. This book will show them why they should and how to begin. Chapter 1 gives a brief history of the Old Testament priesthood and why God originally established it. Uniquely sets the stage for our New Testament priestly duties. Chapter 2 explains the rituals followed in ordaining and consecrating the priests under the Old Covenant, and relates these to our New Covenant consecration. Chapter 3 explains what the daily sacrifice was and why it had to be performed, and relates it to our daily sacrifice today of prayer, both morning and evening. Chapter 4 discusses Joshuas declaration of his entire households dedication in service to the Lord, and explains the importance of our making that same declaration today. Chapter 5 explains the five main offerings instituted by God - sin offering, trespass offering, burnt offering, grain offering and fellowship offering - and translates those into our New Testament spiritual sacrifices today. Chapter 6 describes how God is more pleased with our obedience than the sacrifices, which were set up to atone for our disobedience in the first place. Chapter 7 shows what kind of unselfish, unconditional love God expects husbands to have for their wives with a unique tie-in to Scripture. Chapter 8 encourages men to exercise godly dominion over every circumstance in their lives by living by faith. Chapter 9 describes the spiritual warfare Satan wages against every Christian and how men as priests in their homes can protect themselves and their families. Chapter 10 focuses on one particular evil spirit which is the greatest threat to the priesthood in the home and the church, and shows how to identify it and pull down its stronghold. Chapter 11 explains the spiritual significance, and the power released, by standing firm in your faith in the face of every obstacle to your spiritual walk. It leaves men with the encouragement to do everything they have learned in this book and then just stand on Gods promises that He will order the steps of a righteous man.

Download or read book A Cry for Justice written by Jeff Crippen and published by . This book was released on 2012-11 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: n many Christian circles this may be a taboo subject-spoken of in hushed tones or behind closed doors. But it is a very real problem that must be brought into the light of Scripture. Abuse in the church takes different forms, but it is alive and active even in "nice" families in our churches. Typically, the abuser is male, usually a husband--and his character is that of a manipulating deceiver! Countless women and children even many faithful pastors--have been abused by these deceivers. Have you, or someone you know, been a victim? Has an abuser: Threatened physical violence if he does not get away? Intimidated you with abusive language? Denied you affection? Denied you medical attention? Manipulated friends and acquaintances in order to gain allies? Pastor Jeff Crippen uses his over thirty years of experience to rip the lid off this most insidious behavior that is often hidden in plain sight. He not only maintains that Bible believing churches have ignored or failed to face the problem, he insists that when they do counsel a victim of abuse, they get it all wrong! The result is that the victim gets pulled into deeper-even life threatening-danger! This book will come as a life-saver in a raging sea for those under the thumb of an abusive spouse of "friend". The Lord Jesus Christ wants you to be free in him: spiritually, emotionally, and, yes, physically. Every pastor also needs to read this book, either because they too have been a victim, but, more importantly, so that they properly counsel those caught in a cycle of abuse.

Download or read book The Priests We Need To Save the Church written by Kevin Wells and published by Sophia Institute Press. This book was released on 2019-08-16 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While dissolute bishops and priests around the world grab headlines for their untoward words and deeds, too many other unfruitful priests minister as little more than glad-handing bachelors doing social service work. Top and bottom, is this the Church that Christ intended? Are these the priests we need? “No!” cries author Kevin Wells in these compelling pages that showcase how heroic priests can faithfully tread the narrow path of holy self-sacrifice first blazed by the apostles themselves. From scores of insightful interviews with modern priests, exorcists, seminary formators, and even disillusioned laity, Wells here draws forth a blueprint for priestly holiness that can once again fill our Church with priests abounding with sincere, supernatural faith, on fire with God's love, and moved by the irresistible impulse to save souls, no matter the cost to themselves. Reading this book will deepen your own faith and help you understand what all priests, by their vocation, are consecrated and called to be. Giving a copy to your parish priest will help him – and encourage him – as he strives to become a member of the small but growing contingent of holy priests we need.

Download or read book Wearers of the Ephod written by Louis Brown and published by . This book was released on 2021-02-24 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Apostle Paul states in 1 Corinthians 11: "But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God." This is not a call to dictatorship. Nor is it a declaration of the superiority of man. It is simply a doling out of responsibility. It is the husband and the father's responsibility to lead the family spiritually. What does this Biblical headship look like? What does it mean? How can a man fulfill the duties and responsibilities found therein? In this first book in the series, "Priest, Prophet, King" the author takes us on a journey to discover how the Biblical role of Priest relates to the man's roles and spiritual responsibilities as husband and father. There are a plethora of ideologies across denominations within Christendom and other religions as to what a priest should be. Unfortunately, the Biblical idea of a priest has been tarnished by many of these denominal and religious views. By definition, the essence of priesthood is to be a go-between from God to man and from man to God. Priests are mediatory agents between humans and God. In the Mosaic Law, it was only the High Priest who could enter into the presence of God on behalf of the people. Now in the New Testament dispensation, we are a kingdom of priests (Revelation 1:6). Each individual Christian has access to God on his or her own. However, the fact remains that man, as the spiritual head of the household, is still the one who represents the family to God and God to the family. In fact, there were certain garments that priests in the Bible were required to wear. These garments distinguished them from the rest of the people and identified them as the Priests ordained by God. One part of these garments is something called an "ephod." Upon this ephod were stones with the names of all the tribes of Israel engraved upon them. Therefore, when the priest went into the Most Holy Place, he carried the names of the people with Him. Thus we, as the priests of our homes, are ever to carry the names of our family members before the Lord. We must be "Wearers of the Ephod," by accepting responsibility to fulfill this God-ordained duty on behalf of our families. This book will help you learn how to step into your God-ordained position of priest of your home. Are you ready to be a "Wearer of the Ephod"?
