Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: So I am a discerner, now what? Maybe that was your question as you picked up this book. Perhaps you are more mature in discernment and surprised that someone has written about it, but you are reading it out of curiosity. Either way, the Holy Spirit is going to meet you where you are! Holy Spirit has something amazing in store for you, to help you navigate this gift. I feel His heart on it. Many discerners have had the gift since birth but have been unsure of what they carry. They have been misunderstood, isolated, and rejected. Here are some insights to this book: What Is Discerning of Spirits Help, What Do I Feel Discerning the Angels Discerning the Holy Spirit Discerning Human Spirits / Motives Discerning Demons Discerning the Glory If you are one seeking to be mentored in the things of the Spirit the good news is you hold in your hand the priceless personal insights of one who has gone before you. In this book April Stutzman reveals her very personal journey of discovery into the Discerning of Spirits. Not many people are prepared to share what you will read here for fear of being ridiculed, thought strange or a misfit. However, if you have ever picked up thoughts that were not your own, received unexplainable feelings on certain part of your body or sensed or seen angels then its likely you were operating in the discerning of spirits. April provides wisdom in how she learned to navigate these experiences. The sad truth is many misunderstand these glimpses into the world of spirits around them and consequently fail to reach the fullness of their spiritual potential. Discerning of spirits is a complementary gift and for that reason it is often overlooked. However, this gift of the Holy Spirit enhances and fine tunes all the other gifts including: deliverance, counsel, dream interpretation and the delivery of prophecy. This is a timely and an easy-to-read journey of her book. Adrian Beale and Adam F Thompson Authors of The Divinity Code to Understanding your Dreams and Visions It would be difficult to imagine a better moment in history for a book on the subject of discerning of spirits. With the current seemingly continual conflict between political ideologies, economic systems, gender identities and identity politics, sexual morays and the pervasive role of government in every area of life we must be able to see the world through God’s eyes and act decisively and confidently by His grace. Traditional mindsets will not show us how to live in these chaotic times. We must know God’s will and to be able to articulate it against every vain philosophy and worldly orientation to be overcomers. I heartily recommend April Stutzman’s book, The Chronicles of a Discerner, as a helpful guide through the confusing maze of modern demonic agendas that besiege today’s professing Christians at every turn. Joan Hunter Author/Healing Evangelist host Miracles Happen TV show As the need for discernment increases in this hour, many are becoming aware they carry this gifting of discerning of spirits. The Chronicles of A Discerner is a great book that introduces, breaks down, and gives articulation to this gift. This a great tool for any level, but especially those stepping into the gifting of discerning of spirits. Those growing in this gift will gain greater confidence and gain a greater assurance they’re not alone in this gifting. It’s normal! Madeline James, founder of Madeline James Ministries, and author of Unlocking Your Prophetic Voice Chronicles of a Discerner is a practical yet powerful guide that will help you gain an understanding of the gift of discernment in greater depths. April walks you through her own personal journey of this unique gift and shares how she grew "spiritual muscles" to carry the weight of what the Lord has shown her over the years of cultivating a beautiful and personal relationship with the Holy Spirit. April also helps you to navigate what you may already be experiencing or will experience in your own life and calling. Not only will this book give you language, but it will also stir up a hunger to go after an intimate relationship with the Spirit of the Living God and to partner with Him in everything that you discern. Get ready to learn how to walk out this gift in the love of the Father! Teryn Yancey, Co-Founder of Glory Culture International I highly recommend April’s new book, The Chronicles of a Discerner. April is an extraordinary discerner and uses extravagant wisdom in discerning. The tips April shares in this book are a blessing to all who read it. Teaching any level discerner to stretch and grow. Pulling you to a higher level of discerning of spirits in the days we are living in.

Download or read book The Discerner written by James W Goll and published by Whitaker House. This book was released on 2017-11-16 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “I want to do more than hear a word from God. I want to become that word. That is revelation’s ultimate purpose—for the Word to become flesh.” —James GollWhat is “prophetic revelation” from God? And what is the believer’s role in receiving and activating it? James Goll, author of the best seller The Seer, explains that although some believers are especially gifted as prophets, every follower of Jesus receives the gifts of revelation and discernment. And every believer needs to use them! In fact, without discernment and sensitivity to the Holy Spirit, we cannot progress in our use of any of the gifts and callings. With clear explanations, scriptural illustrations, and real-life contemporary stories, Goll demonstrates how we can receive revelation through the natural senses of sight, hearing, touch, smell, and taste—and how to open ourselves up to the comparable supernatural senses through which God wants to speak. He also removes uncertainty about how to discern revelation and test the spirits, so that every believer can fulfill their ultimate purpose: extending Jesus’ powerful kingdom on earth. The Discerner is both a wonderful introduction to the prophetic lifestyle and a challenging call for those already immersed in prophetic revelation.

Download or read book Rethinking Worldview written by J. Mark Bertrand and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2007-10-05 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everyone has a worldview. How did we get it? How is it formed? Is it possible by persuasion and logic to change one's worldview? In Rethinking Worldview, writer and worldview teacher J. Mark Bertrand has a threefold aim. First, he seeks to capture a more complex, nuanced appreciation of what worldviews really are. Then he situates worldviews in the larger context of a lived faith. Finally, he explores the organic connections between worldview and wisdom and how they are expressed in witness. Bertrand's work reads like a conversation, peppered with anecdotes and thought-provoking questions that push readers to continue thinking and talking long after they have put the book down. Thoughtful readers interested in theology, philosophy, and culture will be motivated to rethink their own perspectives on the nature of reality, as well as to rethink the concept of worldviews itself.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pastoral work can be stressful, tough, demanding, sometimes misunderstood, and often underappreciated and underpaid.

Flourishing in Ministry offers clergy and those who support them practical advice for not just surviving this grueling profession, but thriving in it. Matt Bloom, director of the Flourishing in Ministry project, shares groundbreaking research from more than a decade of study. Flourishing in Ministry project draws on more than five thousand surveys and three hundred in-depth interviews with clergy across denominations, ages, races, genders, and years of practice in ministry. It distills this deep research into easily understandable stages of flourishing that can be practiced at any stage in ministry or ministry formation.

Download or read book The Soul of Discernment written by Elizabeth Liebert and published by Presbyterian Publishing Corp. This book was released on 2015-08-24 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Soul of Discernment provides concrete steps for groups of people who work together and need to make important decisions: church sessions, nonprofit hiring committees, etc. Liebert calls this process the Social Discernment Cycle, a process for seeking God's call in a particular situation. “It is called ‘social' because it deals primarily with human communities in their social-structural, rather than interpersonal aspects,†Liebert explains. “It is a cycle because one completed round of discernment prepares for the next. The Social Discernment Cycle is particularly apt for any discernment that involves a structure, system, or institution.†This book helps groups work through this cycle to answer the question, “How is God leading us, individually or together, to act in this particular moment in our organization?â€

Download or read book Topological Groups and Related Structures An Introduction to Topological Algebra written by Alexander Arhangel’skii and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-05-01 with total page 794 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Algebraandtopology,thetwofundamentaldomainsofmathematics,playcomplem- tary roles. Topology studies continuity and convergence and provides a general framework to study the concept of a limit. Much of topology is devoted to handling in?nite sets and in?nity itself; the methods developed are qualitative and, in a certain sense, irrational. - gebra studies all kinds of operations and provides a basis for algorithms and calculations. Very often, the methods here are ?nitistic in nature. Because of this difference in nature, algebra and topology have a strong tendency to develop independently, not in direct contact with each other. However, in applications, in higher level domains of mathematics, such as functional analysis, dynamical systems, representation theory, and others, topology and algebra come in contact most naturally. Many of the most important objects of mathematics represent a blend of algebraic and of topologicalstructures. Topologicalfunctionspacesandlineartopologicalspacesingeneral, topological groups and topological ?elds, transformation groups, topological lattices are objects of this kind. Very often an algebraic structure and a topology come naturally together; this is the case when they are both determined by the nature of the elements of the set considered (a group of transformations is a typical example). The rules that describe the relationship between a topology and an algebraic operation are almost always transparentandnatural—theoperationhastobecontinuous,jointlyorseparately.

Download or read book Incline Your Ear written by Chad R. Abbott and published by Fortress Press. This book was released on 2021-01-05 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Incline Your Ear: Cultivating Spiritual Awakening in Congregations introduces faith communities and individuals to the centuries-old principles and practices of spiritual direction. Spiritual direction, as Chad R. Abbott and Teresa Blythe practice and teach it, emphasizes four aspects of the faith journey: becoming more aware of the presence of the Holy in our daily lives, reflecting on that awareness and deepening our relationship with God, discerning where God is leading, and sharing our spiritual gifts with the world. Abbott and Blythe also share simple ways to evaluate the outcomes of spiritual awakening: "fruits of the Spirit." As a middle judicatory minister and spiritual director who work with clergy, lay leaders, and congregations around issues of spiritual life and energy, the authors long for churches to become vital spiritual communities that meet the needs of people right where they are. They strive to nurture congregations where pastors don't have to do it all; where members are equipped to share their gifts with one another; where leaders rest easy, knowing the board has discerned the vision well; and where all discover the rich array of spiritual food Christianity serves. In these complex and confusing times, the authors extend to us an invitation and hope: "Incline your ear... that you may live." As communities of faith study and experience Incline Your Ear together, they will find new ways to be in love with God and listen to the Spirit.
