Download or read book There Is Purpose In Pain And There Is Pain In Purpose written by Xavier Jones and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2018-07-27 with total page 31 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pain is something that is inevitable in the earthly realm. Some pain, we can manage through and eventually get over it, yet some pain that we endure causes lifelong battles and even weaknesses that we fight and struggle with every day. Some struggles causes us to think that God left us or that He would not even want us because of our weakness, but what if it was the opposite? It was Paul in his second letter to Corinth that detailed his conversation with the Heavenly Father. He stated that he possessed a thorn that he asked to be taken from him on three separate occasions, but God answered back and told him that His grace is all that Paul needed, and His strength was made perfect in Paul's weakness. So Paul decided that he would rejoice in everything that he had to go through, because when he was weak, God's strength was there to complete him. What God showed Paul, He also is trying to show us. Today's generation has many different struggles and weaknesses, and they have learned grown to mask themselves as anger, depression, which leads to many different sad situations that we see in everyday life, such as murder, suicide, violence, etc. This generation has ran from the church because instead of loving and instructing, the church has turned into a judgmental, self-righteous form of a god that does not exist. Once the true nature of God is revealed and the feel of his genuine love is found, one will see that there is truly a purpose for everything encountered up to this point. The pain was necessary for the birthing of your purpose! That is what this book is all about, reaching a generation to let them know that there is truly a purpose in every suffering and trial that we must go through. There is a cycle that many people are stuck in because they have no idea how to unlock the promise that God has for them, just like Xavier didn't. He thought God had left him, so in turn, he went in the opposite direction, drowning himself deeper and deeper in sorrow. But each and every word and idea in this book is for a specific purpose: to oppose every demonic spirit that tries to hold the mind captive through the hurt and pain we experience.

Download or read book Hurts So Good written by Leigh Cowart and published by Public Affairs. This book was released on 2023-07-18 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An exploration of why people all over the world love to engage in pain on purpose--from dominatrices, religious ascetics, and ultramarathoners to ballerinas, icy ocean bathers, and sideshow performers Masochism is sexy, human, reviled, worshipped, and can be delightfully bizarre. Deliberate and consensual pain has been with us for millennia, encompassing everyone from Black Plague flagellants to ballerinas dancing on broken bones to competitive eaters choking down hot peppers while they cry. Masochism is a part of us. It lives inside workaholics, tattoo enthusiasts, and all manner of garden variety pain-seekers. At its core, masochism is about feeling bad, then better--a phenomenon that is long overdue for a heartfelt and hilarious investigation. And Leigh Cowart would know: they are not just a researcher and science writer--they're an inveterate, high-sensation seeking masochist. And they have a few questions: Why do people engage in masochism? What are the benefits and the costs? And what does masochism have to say about the human experience? By participating in many of these activities themselves, and through conversations with psychologists, fellow scientists, and people who seek pain for pleasure, Cowart unveils how our minds and bodies find meaning and relief in pain--a quirk in our programming that drives discipline and innovation even as it threatens to swallow us whole.

Download or read book There Is Purpose in Your Pain written by Deshauna Jones and published by . This book was released on 2013-06-08 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the scripture states that, "All things work together for the good," that doesn't only mean when the circumstances are working in our favor that it's working for our good, that also means when things aren't going our way and it looks like we won't make it, it is still working for our good. We must begin to see the positive in everything we go through, seeing things through the lenses of God and not through the lenses of our past circumstances or even our current situations. We must see things the way God intends for us to see them. We must seek answers to the problems we are facing through prayer and fasting because sometimes God will use adverse situations to bring us to the place He predestined for us. I will share testimonies of how God makes a miracle out of a mess and then take you from the PIT to the PALACE! Once we have gone through the fire and come out as pure gold, that is when we begin to see the pieces of the puzzle fitting together to reveal the real picture behind the confusion of our lives. Armed with a new view of our future destinations, we become more loving, more trusting, more cooperative with not only the will of God transpiring in our lives, but with others whom God has connected to us in order to transition us to the place He intends for us to go. It isn't until we yield completely to the Lord that we can witness the true manifestation of the Power of God coming alive in our lives. God is calling us to a deeper walk with Him. He is calling us to go places we've never been, to do things we've never done, and to experience the love of a Father we've never had.It is my prayer that you will realize that nothing the enemy does in your life will abort the plan of God if you surrender to God's will. No matter what curve ball the enemy throws you in life, it won't stop you from reaching your destiny. You will become the woman or man of God that He has called you to be.

Download or read book Holy Ouch written by Nathan B. Werner and published by Tate Publishing. This book was released on 2010-03 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How can God allow such a terrible thing? Why does a good God allow pain and suffering?' The question of suffering in our world has been of perennial interest. There have been many intellectual efforts at addressing this knotty problem, but few have satisfied. The problem of evil strikes close to home for everyone, but there have been few fulfilling answers. Some cannot reconcile evil in a world made by a loving God. In the normal course of life, people get bombarded by horrid events, in the world and to themselves. In Heaven's Sake, Nathan Werner explores the concept of a good God allowing pain and suffering in our personal lives and the public domain. He proposes that two apparent contradictions, the presence of pain and the goodness of God, are not incompatible. Through a philosophical look at scripture and philosophy Nathan shows that in fact a loving God will use pain to our benefit. God is good, he is omnipotent, he is caring about our condition, and he uses trying circumstances to make us stronger. How God does this is the challenge Nathan addresses and plumbs new depths of understanding as to the purpose of pain. Nathan Werner's home church is Grace Church of Eden Prairie, Minnesota, where he has taught for many years. He is married with five grown children, one who is with the Lord through tragedy. He is also a grandfather to three boys. He has been employed by the United States Postal Service for close to thirty years.
