Download or read book Thoughts from God for You written by Kay Ashwell and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2020-11-23 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book will encourage people to find hope, joy, love, faith, fellowship and be able to live successfully in a negative environment. God wants His creation to live happy productive lives. Satan is out to destroy everything good. History tells us how things repeat themselves every few generations. God tells us to be mindful and wise of what we wish for; it may come and bite us. This book hopefully brings the true meaning of what Christ came to teach and show us. The way to achieve true peace is to allow God to be in control of our lives. This nation was built on God’s principles, but over the years society has become “I” centered. People need to stand up, be strong and say “not my will Lord, but your will.” We need to stand up and be counted for living an exemplary life that counters the sinful aspects of our culture so prevalent today, not just sit and complain about them. We can have a successful life but not when we put ME first. We need to open the Scriptures and find Him again. There is love, peace, hope and joy but we have to say His will, His way, my Faith. There is an old song we sang when I was young that says it all. It is a simple little song, the author is unknown, but many have recorded it. “Have faith, hope, and charity. That’s the way to live successfully. How do I know? The Bible tells me so. Don’t worry about tomorrow. Just be real good today. The Lord is right beside you. He’ll guide you all the way. How do I know? The Bible tells me so.”

Download or read book The Call of Grace written by Michael Perkins and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2015-09-25 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Salvation cannot be earned. It is the free gift of grace from God through Christ. There is a great pressure release for Christians when they finally understand its not about performance. Interestingly, though, we also know that 1 John 5:3 says, In fact, this is love for God: to keep His commands. And His commands are not burdensome ... It is noteworthy that this verse points out that obedience is one of the principal ways to show love for God. So, to obey is to love. That truth changes everything because in the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus says outrageous things about how He expects disciples to act and obey. He says impossible things like, be perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect and love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you. So what is to be done with those verses? Too often, the page is just turned to something that feels more comfortable. But why did Jesus say these things unless He meant them? Maybe He expects uncommonly committed obedience? Maybe if the Spirit is allowed to work, that power to obey on a different level can be unlocked. The Call of Grace considers what it would look like if the words of Jesuss greatest sermon were taken to heart and the Holy Spirit was allowed to grow in us an obedience never known before. Certainly we will never be perfect, but when God looks at sinful people and sees the blood of Jesus, the perfection of Christ takes their place. And when He looks at them, perhaps He sees children who long to obey out of love for Him. The Call of Grace calls for consideration of what it means to obey wildly and out of sincere thankfulness for grace. For this is love for God.

Download or read book Take Back Your Life Bible Study Guide written by Levi Lusko and published by HarperChristian Resources. This book was released on 2020-08-04 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this five-session video Bible study (DVD/digital downloads sold separately), pastor and author Levi Lusko reveals how every moment of every day, we must make the choice as to whether we will rely on ourselves to determine the reality of our situation or whether we will trust in God. In the Old Testament, we read how Gehazi, the servant of the prophet Elisha, faced this very dilemma. A bounty had been put on Elisha's head, and an army was now surrounding them. Gehazi was frantic. "Oh no, my lord!" he cried. "What shall we do?" (2 Kings 6:15). "Don't be afraid," Elisha calmly answered. "Those who are with us are more than those who are with them" (verse 16). Gehazi must have wondered if his master had lost his mind. They had maybe five minutes before the soldiers reached them . . . yet here was Elisha practically singing the lyrics to "It's a Small World" and pretending everything was going to be all right. But then the prophet prayed, "Open his eyes, Lord, so that he may see" (verse 17). And with this, Gehazi suddenly saw what his master was seeing: a glorious, greater, and far more powerful army of the Lord surrounding the enemy invaders. When it comes to the trials and crises in our lives, we need to see the reality of our situation with the same "spiritual eyes" as Elisha possessed. What we perceive is not all that is there . . . there are unseen things, spiritual things, eternal things. As the apostle Paul put it, "So we don't look at the troubles we can see now; rather, we fix our gaze on things that cannot be seen. For the things we see now will soon be gone, but the things we cannot see will last forever" (2 Corinthians 4:18 nlt). As we learn to perceive our world through the lens of faith, we gain the strength to do the impossible. Take Back Your Life is a forty-day journey that will challenge you to see your situation with spiritual eyes, identify the roadblocks that get in the way of your faith in Christ, and ultimately take the first steps to become the difference-maker in the world that God created you to be! Designed for use with the Take Back Your Life Video Study available on DVD or streaming video, sold separately.

Download or read book Finding Hope in a Troubled World written by Rev. Dr. Lloyd G. Fennell and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2021-12-07 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When hope is lost, this author believes that the Cross Lights the Way to eternal life. Romans 15:13. “Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” It is the goal of this author to project a living hope of the fulfillment of all the promises presented in the gospel. The hope of His calling. (Ephesians 1:18;4:4) In our fallen and corrupted world when COVID-19 has continued to change the dynamics of social, physical, economic, and ecumenical interaction; and when many people are experiencing poverty, evictions, death, disasters, hunger, injustice, wars, and conflicting feelings and issues of uncertainties, we need a new projection of hope. The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and save the crushed in spirit. See Psalm 34:17–18. It is the belief of this writer that God will hear your prayers and your cries, as you begin the process of rebuilding your life of overcoming your pain, fears, and disbelief due to the loss of your mother, your father, your child, or a member of your family or some dear friend due to COVID-19. Recovery to a new life is not easy when your dreams are shattered and when not an earthly soul will listen to your cries, but there is hope. Yes, it is the living hope in Jesus Christ when you focus your eyes on the cross. Jesus claims that he is your only link between you and God the father. “And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain; for the former things are passed away” (Revelation 21:4). 19
