Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Just as one’s DNA is made of chemical building blocks called nucleotides, just so our spiritual composition is made up of building blocks. And such blocks all should form part of the foundation of our faith, with Jesus being the cornerstone. Our entire lives should be built upon Christ, and everything else should flow from God. For a true believer to survive the storms of life, while also thriving and prospering, we need to be grounded in Christ. We need to make sure our foundation is rock solid. And we need to make sure all our building blocks are in place. Unless such a true foundation is in place, where we are settled in the complete, beautiful, infallible, incorruptible and untainted truth and ways of God, we then remain in danger of being swept away by the storms of deceptions, lies, manipulation, extortions, seductions and spiritual corruption. After all, we cannot build a house unless the foundation is properly laid and secured. Just so, unless the foundation of our faith is properly built and sealed by the Blood of the Lamb, how shall we truly know who God is, fathom His Kingdom or follow His will? For in His will is life, hope, and our strength.

Download or read book Overview of God s Word The True North of our Faith written by Riaan Engelbrecht and published by Riaan Engelbrecht. This book was released on 2023-05-24 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bible is an epic masterpiece. There is a continuous flow to the Bible, and it does flow like a story. It is God’s story, told through numerous characters, events, adventures, trials, tribulations, and situations. There is nothing grander or more splendid than God’s story! This book is not a comprehensive study of the Bible, therefore, it is not a blow-by-blow account of every book and every story. Rather, it is a sweeping glance at what the Bible offers. We can only know the heart of God, who God truly is and understand His commandments, His teachings, His truths and values when we study and know the Word. The Bible is truly God’s Word and should shape our lives daily. If one reads the Bible as led by the Spirit, without a preconceived bias for finding errors or based on one’s education or understanding, one will find it to be a coherent, consistent, and relatively easy-to-understand book of God. It is the Truth, and so it is the light and lamp unto our feet and path. The Bible must be treated by disciples as all-sufficient and inerrant (without error) to lead us, guide us, teach us and show us the way and the will of God. The Word of God is real, alive, and powerful and the final authority on God’s will. As believers of God, we must know the Word, study it, love it, cherish it and abide by it for it is the source of eternal life, faith, salvation, freedom, spiritual food, growth, blessedness, purity, guidance, comfort, spiritual victory, assurance and of joy. May we know it to find our purpose and the meaning of life according to a great and awesome God.

Download or read book Let My People Go written by Riaan Engelbrecht and published by Riaan Engelbrecht. This book was released on 2023-07-11 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The words “Let My people go” have echoed in my spirit for many years now, dating back to the early 2000s. The words date back to Israel’s bondage while staying in Exodus. God chose Moses to speak to the Pharaoh to let His people go to worship Him. The children of God are of course not living under the rule of a Pharaoh, but over the years I was made to understand there are many spiritual pharaohs, Sadducees and Pharisees in churches who are holding God’s children in bondage. They do so by spinning their web of lies, enslaving instead of empowering. They rule and lord, instead of making true disciples who follow not them but only Jesus. The subtitle to this book is ‘Exodus out of Religious Entrapment’. As explored in many of my other books, especially in the Perilous Times series, we follow not a religion, but a faith. And such faith is based on a relationship with a living and loving God. God is calling us to come out of religion, meaning the man-made rules, programmes, ideas, traditions and agendas as formulated by man. Religion ultimately enslaves and dethrones, while a relationship with God empowers and enthrones, meaning we learn to be true children of God. The religion we know as Christianity, or more correctly Churchianity, has sadly morphed into a pseudo-religion of new-age teachings saturated with occult and selfish desires and ambitions. Apostasy lurks around every corner and in the shadows of the pulpit. When we fall into the pitfalls of religion we then choose a path of entrapment and slavery. It is time to come out of such enslavement and into the glorious liberty of Jesus. Yes, it is time to let God’s people to go so they may worship Him in Spirit and Truth!
Download or read book Free in Christ written by Riaan Engelbrecht and published by Riaan Engelbrecht. This book was released on 2023-09-29 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: God wants us to be free. Let us proclaim this truth, God wants us free! He wants us to be free from sickness, sorrow, heartache, anguish, pain, and strife. He wants us to be free from being enslaved, yoked, and burdened. For this reason, Jesus said in Matthew 11 that His yoke and burden are light. In this world, we will have trouble, and we are not immune to heartache, pain or sorrow, but we can be free from its crippling effect on our spirit, soul and body. In Christ is our liberty. In Christ is our hope, for He is the eternal shining light and the joy to sustain us. Christ has indeed set us free so that we can also cry as people of all races and ethnic groups, as Jews and Gentiles, that we are free at last, for this is the reality and the truth of John 3:16. Jesus died on the cross so that anyone who believes in Him may be saved and be free at last! Free from death, misery, darkness, despair, lies, the works of the flesh and free from worry. Glory to God, in Christ we are free at last! And for those who are free in Christ, they must declare such freedom so that freedom may ring on every mountain and hill and in every valley, city, and town! We are no longer ‘owned’ by the world, by the devil, by sin or our past. We are free at last! In God’s freedom, we shall soar! As eagles enjoy the freedom of the skies, so we are called to enjoy God’s freedom paid for by the Blood of the Lamb.
Download or read book God s Wisdom A Brief Study written by Riaan Engelbrecht and published by Riaan Engelbrecht. This book was released on 2023-09-29 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How we need the wisdom of the Lord once again in our churches and for the wisdom of the Lord to rest upon the lips of His servants! It says in “Job 28:28 But to man He said, Behold, the reverential and worshipful fear of the Lord—that is Wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding.” These days man seeks after his own wisdom, and relies upon his own intellectual faculty to determine the Truth of God. Godly wisdom comes by fearing the Lord, obeying Him, seeking Him and walking in His Spirit. Such wisdom speaks not of foolishness, ignorance or deception as we seen so often in Churches, but it speaks of God’s will, His plan, His Kingdom, His Truth and His Way. God is all-wise, infinitely wise. God’s wisdom is also vastly superior to human wisdom and He remains the source of wisdom. Wisdom is not just knowledge, but “know how.” It enables us how the follow God’s will and to know how to move in His Spirit at all times. Thus, we don’t just need knowledge, but we need God’s wisdom to conduct our lives to His honour all day!

Book excerpt: King David writes in “Psalm 16:11 You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; at Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.” As believers of God, we need to yearn, seek and desire to dwell in the presence of God, for in His presence we know God and in that knowing, we can thrive, overcome, prosper and grow spiritually. We need a cry of the heart that we need the presence of God daily for as believers of God we cannot truly function or be alive with His presence! A life of spiritual victory is only possible in God’s presence as we walk in His glory. We need to cry out to God that surely we don’t want to go anywhere or do anything without His presence. For in His presence is life, hope, joy, strength deliverance and healing.

We need to know how this spiritual warfare works, what are our weapons and we must know how to use them. We are called to be warriors of discernment, of knowing the tactics of the enemy, of adopting God’s strategy in spiritual warfare and employing God’s weapons of warfare.

Download or read book God s Voice written by Riaan Engelbrecht and published by Riaan Engelbrecht. This book was released on 2023-10-12 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is this strange notion these days that God no longer speaks to His people. It is said that God spoke in the Old Testament and that God today only speaks these days through His Word. Yes, it is true, that God does speak through His Word, but the wonderful and glorious news is that God does speak to His children. He has a voice, we have ears, and there is definite communication! Some even say that one is crazy to think one hears from God (voices in the head apparently speak of a deep-seated disorder). Others claim it is purely your imagination. This is sad because God is an incredibly personal God who wants to communicate with His children. He wants to talk to us, and He wants us to talk to Him. Just because someone has not heard from God does not mean He doesn’t speak! Think about it. The Creator of all actually speaks to us! He does not just speak to the apostles or the prophets but to each and every believer. This is the God whom we serve. An awesome God who is not distant, but a God who wants a personal relationship with us. Yes, we can hear from God as His children. There is no simple formula, but it boils down to relationship, fellowship, intimacy, and willing to follow and listen.
Download or read book Radical Christianity written by Riaan Engelbrecht and published by Riaan Engelbrecht. This book was released on 2023-10-27 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If we truly want to lead a supernatural life, with a faith believing in the impossible, then we need to become radical for God. We need to be red-hot Christians who are on fire for Jesus. It means following Him no matter the cost. It means doing as He says in His Word and never compromising. For the radical Christian, it is all about Christ and nothing else. God is calling for a people who will no longer submit to the ‘normal’. Are we just going through the motions of serving Christ? Has our spiritual life become bland, dull and dreary? Our lives must always be connected to the Spirit of God. We must be infused into God so that He truly abides in us and we abide in us! The normal, the spiritual deadness, the dryness and the staleness are to be found in the traditions and the rituals of religion. God is calling for a people who will step outside the ‘normal’. We are not called to follow a religion or any other manmade rules or ideas, but God and God alone. Jesus came to show us how to lead a vibrant life, infused with divine holy power! For God has spoken then it is time for a people to arise who will no longer be satisfied to walk in the staleness, deadness and dustiness of a religion that has no power. It is time to seek God beyond the veil, and to be the new wineskin to carry the glorious wine of the Holy Spirit in fulfilling the Great Commission!
