By reading this book and practicing the spiritual principles one hour at a time you will become stronger, confident, and will control your own life. You will gain the power of authority over your own actions, your reactions to others actions, and will have the tools to make the best course of action. Spiritual principles are an essential part of life and in this book you will find the who, what ,where, why ,and how to apply them. The table of contents includes 24 spiritual principles numbered 1 through 24. Each asterisk symbolizes a principle that I have applied to my life and shared with others. There are 24 hours in a day and if you so choose you can apply one principle per hour. You can keep a journal, check in with a support group, talk with family, friends, co-workers, or post to social media about your progress after applying a principle to your life. This book is a very simple spiritual and practical way to empower yourself and those around you. You can use the definitions , the examples, or the scriptures to lead and guide you to the growth you need. Therefore, every piece of empowerment is in our spirit and in our connection with God, which we do by applying spiritual principles in our lives. My suggestion is that you take what you need and revisit the rest.

Download or read book Complete Spiritual Doctrine of St Therese of Lisieux written by Fr. François Jamart and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2017-02-07 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over a century ago, there lived a Carmelite nun, Thérèse of Lisieux. Although she was young and seemed to have no authority, she taught “a Little Way very straight and short” which would lead people to perfection. Others had declared that sanctity was hard to attain, but she said that it was easy. Thérèse maintained that in order to become holy, it was not necessary to engage in manifold practices, to perform rigorous penances, or to receive extraordinary graces. What was needed was simply that we acknowledge our “nothingness” and approach God with love and confidence. “Sanctity,” she proclaimed, “is an interior disposition which makes us humble and little in God’s arms, conscious of our weakness and trusting even to audacity in the goodness of our Father.” Thérèse did not reveal new truths, nor did she teach new means for attaining perfection. Her doctrine was not a revelation of a new kind of sanctity, but a new way of revealing sanctity to us. What she teaches flows from the knowledge of God as He is revealed in the Gospel; she invites us to return to evangelical simplicity. The Church has endorsed her doctrine at the highest level: in 1999, Pope John Paul II declared her a Doctor of the Church. In the Complete Spiritual Doctrine of St. Thérèse of Lisieux, he presents her teachings in their original beauty, simplicity, and practicality. According to the judgment of the Carmelite nuns of Lisieux, this work “represents the pure doctrine of Thérèse—without deviation.” Since this book first appeared in French in 1958 and in English in 1961, it has established itself as a classic. Although many fine studies on St. Thérèse have appeared in more recent years, the Complete Spiritual Doctrine of St. Thérèse of Lisieux is still an indispensable guide to the Little Way.

An important contribution."-Ram Dass, author, Be Here Now "An absolute masterpiece . . . Essential Spirituality is helpful to both the unseasoned and seasoned seeker.

JAMPOLSKY, M.D. author, Love Is Letting Go of Fear "Energetic, engaged, and occasionally electrifying. . . .

In his decades of study, Dr. Roger Walsh has discovered that each of the great spiritual traditions has both a common goal and seven common practices to reach that goal: recognizing the sacred and divine that exist both within and around us.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever asked yourself what changed when you were "born again?" You look in the mirror and see the same reflection - your body hasn't changed.

The correct answer to that question is foundational for receiving from God.

I don't deserve it, I'm not good enough!" Spirit, Soul, and Body will help you eliminate those and other doubt-filled questions that destroy your faith. If you have trouble receiving from God, this is a must-read!
Download or read book Eleven Basic Biblical Principles Every Christian Ought to Know written by Anthony E. Okeoma and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-01-25 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a succinct documentation from the Bible of eleven basic spiritual principles that govern the Christian's relationship with God and Satan/spiritual world. Scientifically speaking, the world is governed by a set of rules or principles and many careful and observant men and women in history who discovered some of these principles have made names for themselves and invented things that have reduced the ordinary man to awe and admiration. In the same vein, there are some biblical principles that govern the spiritual world or spiritual exercise and, undoubtedly, every hero of the Bible exhibited one or more or all the principles, mentioned in this book, in practical living.The Christian who wants to finish his/her race successfully must pay attention to these principles. The Bible is a mine of supernatural nuggets. It holds resources to make the Christian heavenly useful and earthly productive. It reveals that God ceded decision making power to the man in order not to have robots for children or worshipers. God, in his mercy and sovereignty, ruled that no supernatural power can enter man's world without the permission of a man. This principle cannot be abused, even by the lawless one, Satan. Whatever spiritual power that possesses man must, therefore, dialogue with the man. It is this initial dialogue that determines who takes over man. Even people who are addicted to drugs today, usually, had the very first day, when they battled and suppressed their conscience. Prayer is necessary because every free moral agent, who also chooses what power to relate to, is at liberty to present his/her petition to the power he/she recognizes. Fasting, on the other hand, provides the discipline the praying person needs to get the attention of the recognized power. Faith believes the ability of the recognized power to react positively to prayer or request. Righteousness - life after salvation - is the visible picture that is to be painted by the saved person and seen by those who are around him/her. The giving and receiving-principle serves as a check and balance. The decision maker must bear in mind that any decision made has eternal consequences - whatever is sown must be reaped. Tithe (ten percent of the believer's income) or any other sacrificial giving, is due to the Lord he/she serves. The principle of idolatry warns that the worshiper resembles what is worshiped; and the Christian believer is reminded that the jealous God, who hates idolatry, cannot co-habit with Satan and fallen angels or demons. Anyone who chooses to serve the living God must serve Him and Him alone. The pride heart is an enemy of God. No two Gods have ever existed and will ever exist. The proud person, therefore, has one guarantee - failure. God's people must desist from pride and turn to praise. God deserves the praises of His people. He must be praised because He is the creator and the sustainer of the known and unknown universe. May God be praised forever! Amen!

Download or read book Practice These Principles written by Ray A. and published by . This book was released on 2021-07-04 with total page 502 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why are we the way we are, and why do we do the things we do? These are the fundamental questions we humans have been asking ourselves from the dawn of recorded history. The call to answer them can be traced back over 2,500 years to an injunction inscribed in a Greek temple: Know Thyself. AA's Step 4 follows in the tradition of self-examination which emerged in response to that call. Borrowing from religion, philosophy, and psychology, it's the most comprehensive and effective program of self-knowledge and self-transformation that's been ever devised. Though initially meant for alcoholics, it's available to all.However, Step 4 takes a lot of work. In it we are digging into a wide range of experience over a long period of time-the entirety of our past lives, in fact. An inventory of such depth and breadth can be daunting. It's easy to get confused, sidetracked, overwhelmed, and discouraged. Many of us procrastinate. Some never get started. Others abandon it early on. But even if we've gone through it once, we've barely begun to scratch the surface.For various reasons, these first attempts are very limited. That's why later in sobriety many of us feel the need to try again. Though sober, our recovery may have stalled. Maybe there are serious things about the past we skipped the first time around. Perhaps important issues remain unresolved which are still affecting us today. Or maybe we've gotten in trouble again, perhaps even relapsed. In any case, we feel we have to go back and take another hard look at ourselves. And yet, we're not sure we have the tools we need. We might have 10, 20, or 30 years in the program, but our understanding of Step 4 may not be much better than it was the first time we did it. This book is for those alcoholics. It's also for those, alcoholic or not, who wish to change and to grow and who are willing to practice the principles which have helped so many of us to become better people and to live happier lives.
