Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Not long ago, author Bill Myers had a clear and unmistakable encounter with the Lord. No audible voice, no burning bush, just a still, small impression that asked, “If I put you in a coma and you could not tell anyone about Me; if you could do nothing for Me . . . would I be enough?” Bill realized that too many believers—himself included—have became more focused on serving the Lord we love, rather than loving the Lord we serve. Through the pages of The Jesus Experience, Myers will take you on your own personal journey of rediscovering God’s love for you and, in turn, loving others more deeply.

Download or read book The Experience of Christ written by Witness Lee and published by Living Stream Ministry. This book was released on with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "From the experiences of the saints throughout the ages, and in the light that we have seen in these recent years before the Lord, we may say that the experience of life can be divided into four stages with a total of nineteen points. According to our experience, the first four stages may be designated as follows: the first stage may be called the salvation stage; the second, the revival stage; the third, the stage of the cross; and the fourth, the stage of spiritual warfare. But according to our relationship with Christ, these four stages should be designated in this way: the first stage, in Christ; the second, abiding in Christ; the third, Christ abiding in us; and the fourth, Christ fully grown in us. The experiences of these four stages are based on our relationship with Christ. Life is God Himself, yet in order that God may be our life, this life must necessarily be in Christ. Therefore, the Scripture says, 'Christ is our life' (Col. 3:4). Since life is Christ, when we experience life, we experience Christ. The experience of life may be expressed, therefore, as our relationship with Christ."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this sequel to "Jesus: an experiment in Christology", the focus shifts from the historical person of Jesus of Nazareth to the experience of Christ in the Church. As a result of their experience, New Testament Christians, in a variety of ways, found grace, or salvation from God, in Jesus. Our task must be to understand as deeply as possible the nature of the experience of these Christians in order to see how it is found -- and acted upon -- in our very different modern world.
Download or read book Pentecostalism as a Christian Mystical Tradition written by Castelo, Daniel and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2017 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Informed reassessment of Pentecostalism as a mystical tradition of the church universal Pentecostalism, says Daniel Castelo, is commonly framed as "evangelicalism with tongues" or dismissed as simply a revivalist movement. In this book Castelo argues that Pentecostalism is actually best understood as a Christian mystical tradition. Taking a theological approach to Pentecostalism, Castelo looks particularly at the movement's methodology and epistemology as he carefully distinguishes it from American evangelicalism. Castelo displays the continuity between Pentecostalism and ancient church tradition, creating a unified narrative of Pentecostalism and the mystical tradition of Christianity throughout history and today. Finally, he uses a test case to press the question of what the interactions between mystical theology and dogmatics could look like.

Download or read book Christ s Experience of God Classic Reprint written by Frank H. Decker and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-13 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Christ's Experience of God I know Frank Decker. It is a privilege to know him, but I can hardly call it a distinction. I am only one of several thousand millionaires and ministers and mulligans, of Pharisees and first citizens and tramps, of sinners and publicans and outcasts of various sorts who have the right to stand up in the streets of Providence at his side and say "I know you." Anybody can know Decker, provided, of course, that he is in trouble or need. If he has no troubles he may have to wait outside a while until Decker gets through. They that are well need no physician but they that are sick. Many men write lives of Jesus - how many you never know until you look at die book catalogues. But Decker has lived a life of Jesus first and written it afterwards: and that, as you will agree I think, is something entirely different.

Download or read book Religious Experience and the Knowledge of God written by Harold A. Netland and published by Baker Academic. This book was released on 2022-02-08 with total page 421 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For many Christians, personal experiences of God provide an important ground or justification for accepting the truth of the gospel. But we are sometimes mistaken about our experiences, and followers of other religions also provide impressive testimonies to support their religious beliefs. This book explores from a philosophical and theological perspective the viability of divine encounters as support for belief in God, arguing that some religious experiences can be accepted as genuine experiences of God and can provide evidence for Christian beliefs.
Download or read book Jesus Loves Me written by John S. Dickerson and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2021-02-02 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you asked a millennial or younger person in your church, "What do I need to believe to be a Christian?" what would they say? At a time when "truth" is up for grabs, a journalist-turned-pastor wants to help believers understand what they believe. How? By using the simple lyrics "Jesus loves me, this I know, for the Bible tells me so." In this winsome book, bestselling author John S. Dickerson clearly and faithfully explains essential Christian beliefs, using simple stories that have resonated with his congregation of thousands. He guides readers into these basic beliefs, and most importantly, he illustrates why these beliefs matter. The result is an easy-to-read primer, designed for a time when Christianity is questioned and challenged. It is a great study for young adults, new believers, and long-time believers who want to reclaim the essentials. For anyone who wants their small group, church, or loved ones to embrace the authority of Scripture and the nonnegotiable doctrines of Christianity. "What does it mean to be a genuine Jesus follower in an age when most people, including many self-described Christians, believe that God is well-pleased with a life lived in alignment with a 'designer faith' of their own making? In Jesus Loves Me, John Dickerson answers that question with a deep dive into the simple but profound gospel that Jesus taught as the only kind of faith the Heavenly Father would be well-pleased with. As Dickerson points out, we can't be true Jesus followers if we don't know who He is or what He said and never bother to actually live like He told us to live. Whether you are a brand-new Jesus follower or a longtime veteran, this book will help you nail down the basics of what it means to genuinely know and follow Jesus."--Larry Osborne, author and pastor, North Coast Church "Most Christians would tell you they believe the Bible to be God's Word. And yet many of those same Christians could not even articulate what the core beliefs are to the Christian faith. In Jesus Loves Me, John Dickerson does a great job of helping believers understand the basic teachings of Scripture. This is a great resource for any Christian who needs to build a stronger foundation to their faith."--Steve Poe, lead pastor of Northview Church, Carmel, Indiana

Download or read book Jesus and the Spirit written by James D. G. Dunn and published by SCM Press. This book was released on 1975 with total page 536 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this fascinating book James D. G. Dunn explores the nature of the religious experiences that were at the forefront of emerging Christianity. Dunn first looks at the religious experience of Jesus, focusing especially on his experience of God in terms of his sense of sonship and his consciousness of the Spirit. He also considers the question of whether Jesus was a charismatic. Next Dunn examines the religious experiences of the earliest Christian communities, especially the resurrection appearances, Pentecost, and the signs and wonders recounted by Luke. Finally Dunn explores the religious experiences that make Paul so influential and that subsequently shaped Pauline Christianity and the religious life of his churches. The result is a thorough and stimulating study that not only recovers the religious experiences of Jesus and the early church but also has important implications for our experiences of the Spirit today
