Download or read book In Pursuit of the Miraculous written by Roy Todd and published by Authentic Media Inc. This book was released on 2009-09-01 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One dictionary definition of miracles is that they are 'remarkable and welcome events that seem impossible to explain'. But can they still happen today? Should we expect them? Jesus certainly encouraged his disciples to anticipate miraculous accompaniments to their proclamation of his good news. In Mark 16:17-18 he emphasizes five signs that 'will accompany those who believe' (v17). So if we accept that miracles do happen today How might we see more of the miraculous in the twenty-first century? How can they be experienced? Just what kind of faith is needed for them to happen? Are there hindrances that can stop them occurring and if so, what are they? Perhaps you need a personal miracle. Maybe it's a desire to help someone else receive one. You might even be longing for both.

Download or read book The Pursuit of the Holy written by Simon Ponsonby and published by David C Cook. This book was released on 2010-09-01 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Be holy as I am holy,” says the Lord. It’s the most extravagant—and audacious—invitation ever sent: Or in the words of Jesus: “Be perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect.” But can that really happen? Is holiness an achievable goal for sinful human beings? That’s the ultimate focus of this thoughtful, thorough, and engaging study of what it means to be holy. Drawing on the Bible and Christian thinkers through the ages, Simon Ponsonby affirms that because of God’s gracious love and desire for communion with us, he has done what is possible for us not only to pursue holiness, but to achieve it. While we can never count on attaining moral perfection in this life, we need not settle for less than increasing victory over sin. And as more and more Christians choose to partner with God in the ongoing process of sanctification, we set the stage for revival.
Download or read book A Simple Guide to Experience Miracles written by J. P. Moreland and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2021-11-16 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Does God Still Do Miracles Today? A Simple Guide to Experience Miracles will give you confidence in and awareness of the supernatural realm as you learn how to flourish spiritually by experiencing more miraculous interventions in your life and ministry. Internationally renowned philosopher J. P. Moreland looks at the nature of miracles and explains why bearing and receiving credible testimony to God's miraculous acts is a crucial feature of a mature Jesus-follower. He also shows how to distinguish a real miracle from a mere coincidence. Miracles bring comfort to believers, strengthening faith in God and creating boldness in our lives. While miraculous healings have occurred frequently throughout church history, Moreland provides data showing how the last fifty years have seen a massive outbreak of miracles and supernatural activity. Today, he argues, the church should humbly expect to see more of these miraculous works of God than we do. Moreland looks at topics like: The relationship between sickness and suffering, along with two different ways to pray for healing How to discern clearly the difference between a genuine miracle and a mere coincidence How to increase your faith that petitionary prayer really works and what to make of unanswered prayer Six ways God speaks to us and advice for hearing God wisely and biblically The role angels play in our lives, how they appear to us, and how to combat demonic influence The biblical basis for most Near-Death Experiences and what we can learn from them A Simple Guide to Experience Miracles increases your expectation and hope that God can and often does miraculously intervene to bring help and comfort. Moreland shows that it makes rational sense to step out and engage in employing Kingdom power and to strengthen courage to witness and act on behalf of the gospel of Jesus. Filled with inspiring, credible, motivating accounts of miracles, he covers five different kinds of supernatural activities and provides practical wisdom about how to begin practices such as healing prayer and learning to deal with the demonic.

Book excerpt: Closely mirroring the author's own travels in the early 1970s throughout Poland and Italy in pursuit of the miracles ascribed to St. Maximilian Kolbe, the work takes the reader on a geographical and spiritual journey of immense riches. Sono's narrator sensitively explores cultural differences, religious faith, science and the question of miracles, and the atrocity of Auschwitz where St. Kolbe offered up his life in exchange for a condemned prisoner. Already described as a "minor classic" of Japanese literature before it was translated into English, Doak's translation makes available this remarkable work by one of postwar Japan's most talented writers to a broader international audience.

Book excerpt: Do miracles still happen today? This book demonstrates that miraculous works of God, which have been part of the experience of the church around the world since Christianity began, continue into the present. Leading New Testament scholar Craig Keener addresses common questions about miracles and provides compelling reasons to believe in them today, including many accounts that offer evidence of verifiable miracles. This book gives an accessible and concise overview of one of Keener's most significant research topics. His earlier two-volume work on miracles stands as the definitive word on the topic, but its size and scope are daunting to many readers. This new book summarizes Keener's basic argument but contains substantial new material, including new accounts of the miraculous. It is suitable as a textbook but also accessible to church leaders and laypeople.

Download or read book Ship of Miracles written by Bill Gilbert and published by Triumph Books. This book was released on 2000-09 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It was a miracle worthy of the season. When Captain Leonard La Rue spied from his twelve-man merchant ship, the Meredith Victory, the throng of Korean refugees on the docks of a city in flames, he didn't hesitate to do what others would consider impossible. In December of 1950, La Rue and his skeleton crew rescued fourteen thousand Korean refugees from the hands of the rapidly-approaching Chinese army in the city of Hungnam. Through the night and next day, a seemingly endless succession of refugees boarded the Meredith, their will to live and strong spirit steeling them against the bitter cold and incredibly crowded conditions. Standing shoulder to shoulder for three days the refugees and crew stoically endured as La Rue steered the ship through sea battle, a thirty-mile web of sea mines, and enemy shelling. "Ship of Miracles" is the incredible story of what has been called "the greatest rescue operation by a single ship in the history of mankind." Against all odds, the little merchant vessel transported its precious cargo to the island of Koje-Do on Christmas Eve completely unharmed, all fourteen thousand refugees alive and well, including an additional five new lives begun on this incredible journey. As the fiftieth anniversary of this miraculous rescue approaches, "Ship of Miracles" is as touching today as it was then; a tale you'll hold close to your heart, and return to time and again. While the United States Navy prepares to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the perilous evacuation at Hungnam and honor the Meredith Victory's miraculous feat, read this never-before-told account from the crew themselves, as they relate the incredible and unbelievable details of their three-day journey from fear to freedom.

Download or read book MIRACLES written by Edward D. Andrews and published by Christian Publishing House. This book was released on 2019-05-01 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an age where the existence of the supernatural is often questioned, "MIRACLES: What Does the Bible Really Teach?" emerges as a comprehensive guide exploring the enigmatic world of biblical miracles. This meticulously researched work invites readers on a journey through scriptural accounts, presenting a rigorous examination of the nature, purpose, and reality of miracles as depicted in the Holy Scriptures. Through its in-depth analysis, the book confronts the skepticism of the modern era, dismantling naturalistic explanations and affirming the credibility of the miraculous. It delves into the laws of nature, scrutinizing their relationship with reported supernatural events, and provides a potent argument for the harmony between scientific understanding and biblical miracles. "Understanding the Miracles of the Bible," the opening chapter, sets the stage by addressing the compatibility of miracles with natural law and God's moral framework. "The Miracles—Did They Really Happen?" progresses the discourse by examining the authenticity of these events, with a special focus on the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. The contrast between naturalism and supernaturalism is critically explored, assessing worldviews and their implications on the interpretation of miracles. The narrative further challenges naturalistic ideologies, suggesting that such perspectives struggle to adequately explain the miraculous phenomena described within the pages of the Bible. "Nature and Supernature" acknowledges the defined domains while showcasing instances where nature yields to divine intervention. The subsequent chapters present a compelling argument for the possibility of miracles, countering common objections and misconceptions with scholarly insight and theological acuity. In a bold and intriguing exposition, "Unveiling Biblical Clues: The Secret Behind the Egyptian Pyramids’ Creation" ventures beyond traditional discussions, examining historical enigmas through a biblical lens. "The Bible and Science" bridges faith and rational inquiry, engaging with topics like the Flood, human longevity, and the perceived scientific errors in the Bible. The penultimate chapter, "Is Genesis’ Creation of the World a Myth and Legend?" investigates the origins of the universe as presented in Genesis, juxtaposing biblical accounts with ancient creation stories. Finally, "The Continuation of the Spiritual Gifts?" addresses the cessation of miracles, contending that while miracles served a definitive purpose during biblical times, their primary function as signs of divine endorsement concluded with the close of the apostolic age. With rigorous scholarship and thought-provoking analysis, "MIRACLES: What Does the Bible Really Teach?" stands as an essential resource for those seeking to understand the intersection of faith, history, and the supernatural. It is an invitation to explore the biblical testimony on miracles and discover their enduring message for the contemporary world.
