Download or read book RESTORED written by Lolita Young and published by Lolita Young. This book was released on 2018-08-08 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I didn’t share my story to hurt anyone or boast about anything that I have accomplished in life, but I decided to share it to redeem and restore the years that were taken from me through hurt, disappointment and pain. I believe this story is going to help someone struggling in the same areas that I had to deal with. No man is exempt from the trials of life and just as I had to be restored, so do you. Anything, any situation or relationship that has tried to keep you from experiencing God’s best plan for your life has to cease when you know who you are in Him. God has equipped us all with His word to use as a weapon to fight off anything that is not of Him. As Nelson Mandela said, “What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived, it is the difference we have made in the lives of others that will determine the significance of the life we lead.” I truly believe that, and that is why this book was born. The fight I had to endure throughout my life for my family and myself was not a flesh and blood fight, as I stated several times throughout my book, it was a spiritual battle. To be successful in a spiritual battle, you must be equipped to do so. You have to know what your weapons of warfare are. I recommend that you equip yourself with the best and that is the word of God. My story was told to bring hope to the brokenhearted and peace to the wounded and worried. I desire that through my honesty and transparency, those that are confused will get an understanding and the knowledge that they need to find their way and be patient in the process. I want you to know that you are never alone when you join God’s army. Every created being has their cross to carry, and mines just happened to be enduring unfaithfulness throughout my first marriage and restoring my health. With God’s help, if I can do it, I want you to know that you can too! He can turn every sorrow into joy. I am a living witness. I have been redeemed by the blood of the Lamb, and that redemption has given me the victory over the battles I endured through my first marriage and my health. I stay in prayer continuously to keep myself and my family covered because I know that as long as I’m still living it is not over. The enemy will always try to launch another battle, but at the end of each battle, I win. Sometimes when we are in the midst of our battles, we feel like we are the only ones experiencing them. I tell my story to let people know that there are others out there who have experienced the same or similar challenges that they are going through right now. And we made it so you can too! This book is about bringing restoration to lives when it feels like there is none in sight. Well, there is. Keep living and keep trusting. I’ve been told that it’s not what you go through, it’s how you go through it that matters. I hope my story helps you go through whatever challenge you are facing now or may face in the future with a confidence that it doesn’t matter where you start, it matters where you end, and your end can be glorious. I hope my story helps to answer all of the unanswered questions that you might have when “life happens.” And it does but in the midst of going through life’s challenges remember always to extend forgiveness. I continue to forgive others hoping that I receive forgiveness from anyone that I have hurt or mislead. It is key to you being free. Writing this book has played a huge role in my deliverance and being able to continue loving those who God has placed in my life. Maybe one day you too will be led to share your story as I did and witness it help someone in ways you never thought it could. Lastly, ladies, I want to encourage you never give up your hope in God and His everlasting love for us, because I can tell you from experience that He will never leave nor forsake us. Even when we mess up and take wrong turns in life, God still loves us the same. Keep your mind focused on Him no matter what the seasons may bring into your life. My pastor, Bill Winston always says, “God would never mismanage your life or mine.” He is faithful to perform that “good work” in us that He has begun (Philippians 1:6). The word of God says, “If they obey and serve him, they will spend the rest of their days in prosperity and their years in contentment” (Job 36:11 NIV). May God bless everyone who reads my story, and may He give you peace, patience, guidance, wisdom, knowledge and understanding as you carry your cross in life.

Download or read book Cradled in the Arms of Jesus written by Phaedra Moll and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2019-11-19 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cradled in the Arms of Jesus is a self-help book for mental health recovery based on personal testimony. I began my journey with mental health challenges while in elementary school, possibly due to life challenges or perhaps due to head trauma. Either way, my first suicide note was written in third grade. Over the years many situations have arisen, causing ongoing mental health battles. But with a variety of tools, I have overcome and been successful in living a full life. The ingredients for recovery: medication, talk therapy, doctors you can talk with, a strong support system, and faith are detailed and encouraged in Cradled in the Arms of Jesus. The Christian faith is strongly encouraged. Scripture is used as a segue into each chapter. The reader is assisted in their faith journey with sample prayers at the end of each chapter. While the Christian faith is the focus of Cradled in the Arms of Jesus, I share that having faith in anything the offers hope is a good starting point. Faith and hope are important elements in mental health recovery. I offer suggestions of other things a person might find faith in. The important thing is to start somewhere in the faith journey. I reveal my own experience with mental health in hopes of offering hope and encouragement to others with mental illness, their caretakers, support system, and family. In a time when America is facing a mental health crisis, Cradled in the Arms of Jesus is timely.

Download or read book From Breakdown to Breakthrough written by Tom Inserra and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2022-04-06 with total page 59 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2018, Tom had two nervous breakdowns. He literally was at the end of himself. The reason was he just never took care of himself. It was at a point that the pressure came on strong. Yet he felt that time would take care of it. He was so wrong. He had neglected his soul. David, in a couple of Psalms, said, "Why are you downcast oh my soul put your hope in God?" David understood he needed to allow his soul to know he was paying attention to its feelings. You must know when your soul is whole, everything else just falls into place. We must love the Lord our God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength; and we need to love our neighbors, as well as ourselves. We love God first. We love others second, and as often neglected, we need to love ourselves. But if any of these are broken, all of it is broken. This breakdown, Tom had, lasted a number of months, and he really didn't know how to fix it. Again, he felt time would heal it. Tom finally talked to his local pastor here, and he suggested a few things to do. They are mentioned in this book. We all need to watch over our souls. Whether you are going through it or not, you need to know that there are many resources to help. One of the biggest things that can help you is to have a couple of people around you that are able to walk with you through it, that you can be accountable to, and that can pray with you through things. You cannot feel ashamed that you're going through them. That being said, let this journey help you. Allow it to give hope as you move forward.
Download or read book Paths As Yet Untrodden written by Joel Mlay and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-12-30 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I would characterize my experience during the last seven years with adversity. I have experienced the insecurity of life in a foreign land; uncertainty , in the face of sickness and ill-health without the assurance of medical care; uncertainty of employment and means of support; lacking leisure and vacation, or just time to be; without having to worry about the next day. It is what I call life on the precipice, afraid that any moment there could be a fall down the cliff. Yet, if I wasn't writing about it here, you'd never guess there was such an experience. Who hasn't faced affliction and adversity anyway? The big story is really, the aftermath. I could say with St. Paul (to the Christians of Corinth, "hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed" (2 Cor. 4: 8-9). The big story is BUT. I am here, telling the story. In the midst of affliction and adversity, I found my strength, I found authentic power: Faith, Hope, Abundance/Relationships, Perseverance, Gratitude, and Humility.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On April 28, 2006, as he lay in his hospital bed in Ann Arbor, Michigan, visions of celestial beauty were the last thing on Marv Besteman's mind. He had just had surgery to remove a rare pancreatic tumor. It was after visiting hours and his family had left for the day. Alone and racked with pain, Marv tossed and turned, wanting more than anything else to simply sleep and escape the misery and discomfort for a while. The retired banker, father, and grandfather had no idea he was about to get a short reprieve in the form of an experience he never could have imagined. In My Journey to Heaven, Marv Bestman shares the story of his experience of heaven with astounding detail. Readers will hear of his encounters with angels who accompanied him to the gate, his conversation (argument, really) with St. Peter, and his recognition of friends and family members who touched his life. His story offers peace, comfort, and encouragement to those who have lost loved ones and gives security and solace to those who are grieving, dying, or wonder about the afterlife. Marv believed God sent him back to earth to fulfill this mission of comfort and reminds readers that God has work for each of us to do before he calls us to be with him in heaven. Secure in his belief that his book was the fulfillment of his own mission, Marv returned to heaven in January 2012.
