Download or read book The Healer Prophet in Afro Christian Churches written by Gerhardus C. Oosthuizen and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2016-05-18 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Apart from the mainline, Pentecostal, and Zionist churches, there are different types of African Independent/Indigenous Churches (AIC). The greater part of the more than four thousand denominations and eight million adherents came into the AIC during the past three decades, mainly from the traditional African religious background. The important role of the diviner in the traditional society has been replaced by the prophet in the AIC; the prophet understands the worldview of his/her people, especially the cultural diseases. In some churches the office of prophet cum diviner is represented by one person. The AIC movement is the most dynamic church movement in many parts of Africa, especially Southern Africa. The consistent growth of these churches can largely be accounted for by the healing procedures they use, which ar highlighted in this study. Dr. Oosthuizen approaches healing from various angles, as sickness is not only determined by physical and psychological factors, but also by disturbed human relationships and socio-political and economic tensions.

Book excerpt: Revised & Updated Edition! God is love. Crazy, relentless, all-powerful love. Have you ever wondered if we're missing it? It's crazy, if you think about it. The God of the universe—the Creator of nitrogen and pine needles, galaxies and E-minor—loves us with a radical, unconditional, self-sacrificing love. And what is our typical response? We go to church, sing songs, and try not to cuss. Whether you've verbalized it yet or not, we all know something's wrong. Does something deep inside your heart long to break free from the status quo? Are you hungry for an authentic faith that addresses the problems of our world with tangible, even radical, solutions? God is calling you to a passionate love relationship with Himself. Because the answer to religious complacency isn't working harder at a list of do's and don'ts—it's falling in love with God. And once you encounter His love, as Francis describes it, you will never be the same. Because when you're wildly in love with someone, it changes everything.

Download or read book Demon Possession Demon Deliverance False Prophets written by Dr. Ernest S. Martin and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2023-08-23 with total page 83 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Satan and demonic spirits are topics described in the scriptures that pastors and other Christians want to ignore or of which they are afraid. Even in Jesus' time, when he cast out demons from the demon-possessed man in the cemetery, and the demons went into the swine, the people wanted Jesus to leave. Today, there is very little teaching on demons, demon possession, demon deliverance, and false prophets. There are three types of spirits in the world: the Holy Spirit, demonic spirits, and our own human spirit. In this book, scriptures are given to test the spirits to see if they are from God. In dealing with demonic spirits, one should first know the enemy, Satan, who is an angel fallen from heaven, is the father of lies, and one who desires to rule the world. Satan imitates God, possesses men, desires to destroy, and takes men prisoners. A believer in Jesus Christ who is a born-again Christian cannot be demon-possessed because the Scriptures declare that greater is he (Jesus) that is in you than he (Satan) that is in the world. Christians are to put on the whole armor of God to stand against the devil. The disciples overcame by the blood of the Lamb, the word of their testimony, and they feared not their lives unto death. God gave the disciples power over the demonic spirits, and he gives Christians that power in Jesus's name over the demonic spirits. Scriptures and examples are given on how to recognize and deliver demon-possessed people by using the Word of God. False prophets and ministers of righteousness are also discerned by using God's Word and the fruit of their lives.

The Bible has plenty to say about end times. But until now, there has been no other book that—in straightforward prose that’s easy to understand —gathers ten scriptural prophecies, lays out a chronological checklist, and offers a guideline for sorting it all out. In What in the World Is Going On? Dr. David Jeremiah answers the hard questions, including these: "How is prophecy playing out in modern Europe?" "Why does Israel matter?" "How are oil reserves and Islamic terrorism related?" "Does the United States play a role in prophecy?" "How should we live in the end times?"

Now you can know the meaning behind what you see in the daily news—and understand what in the world is going on! “A clear, compelling primer on God’s heart for Israel and the dramatic Bible prophecies that will unfold in these last days. What I loved most is that David Jeremiah unashamedly examines and explains the biggest global trends of our day through the Third Lens of Scripture.

Download or read book Demonic Possession in the New Testament written by William Menzies Alexander and published by Edinburgh : [s.n.]. This book was released on 1902 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Demonic possession in the New Testament is still an unsolved problem. That statement is at variance with a considerable body of opinion recently expressed on two continents. Nevertheless, it is a correct representation of the present state of the case. Modern writers have attained a certain unanimity, only by approaching the subject from one point of view and confining attention to the more conspicuous phenomena. But any investigation which claims finality must explore the whole environment and scrutinise all residual facts. There is a comparative demonology to be studied; there are types of mental disease to be examined; there is a criterion of genuine possession to be discovered and applied. The inquiry thus broadens out and takes account of many points hitherto ignored or neglected. - Preface.
Download or read book Hearing Voices Demonic and Divine written by Christopher C. H. Cook and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-12-07 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Open Access version of this book, available at www.taylorfrancis.com/books/9781472453983, has been made available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivative 4.0 license. Experiences of hearing the voice of God (or angels, demons, or other spiritual beings) have generally been understood either as religious experiences or else as a feature of mental illness. Some critics of traditional religious faith have dismissed the visions and voices attributed to biblical characters and saints as evidence of mental disorder. However, it is now known that many ordinary people, with no other evidence of mental disorder, also hear voices and that these voices not infrequently include spiritual or religious content. Psychological and interdisciplinary research has shed a revealing light on these experiences in recent years, so that we now know much more about the phenomenon of "hearing voices" than ever before. The present work considers biblical, historical, and scientific accounts of spiritual and mystical experiences of voice hearing in the Christian tradition in order to explore how some voices may be understood theologically as revelatory. It is proposed that in the incarnation, Christian faith finds both an understanding of what it is to be fully human (a theological anthropology), and God’s perfect self-disclosure (revelation). Within such an understanding, revelatory voices represent a key point of interpersonal encounter between human beings and God.
