Download or read book What Happens When God Says No and Closes the Door written by Doris Nelson and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2022-02-03 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever felt as if you were drowning and completely submerged in a sea of nos and closed doors in your life while seeing others literally sail by on the good ship Success? We all have dreams, aspirations, a mental timer, and a road map of the plans and goals we aspire to achieve in our lifetime; however, when none of our plans come into fruition, we begin to question God as to why we can never get one foot in a door before it closes. God, why are you saying no? No one likes the word no because it implies and carries a sense of rejection and failure. Bishop Nelson expounds on the premise that a no from God is never the final conclusion of the matter. If we love, trust, and believe him, he has the best plan for our lives. Do not let the nos and closed doors kill your dreams. This book illustrates some of the ways God's divine plans operate in the lives of his people. God's nos and closed doors are usually (1) to protect us from unseen disappointments, failure, or danger; (2) timing, because it is not our season; (3) he has something greater for us; (4) it will bring glory to him; (5) it will not only be a blessing to us but also to many others. God's nos and closed doors are always because he loves us and knows the end from the beginning!
Download or read book When God Says No written by Elizabeth Laing Thompson and published by Barbour Publishing. This book was released on 2021-05-01 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No is not a four-letter word, but it certainly feels like one. It’s one thing to feel God’s love when life goes your way, but what happens to your faith when life doesn’t go as you had planned? When prayers go unanswered and dreams unfulfilled? When the sick stay sick and the dead do not rise? When you’re lost in the desert and the Promised Land seems like empty promise? When God says, “No,” how do you grapple with disappointment? Author Elizabeth Laing Thompson walks alongside readers as she tackles the difficulties that stymie our faith, stifle our prayers, and stunt our relationship with God. When God Says, “No” will help you to discover hope when life feels hopeless, good in what feels bad, and new dreams when old ones have died. This book is a fantastic reminder of Who is in charge—Who He is and how He works. How He loves us and why He limits us. The better we know Him, the more we understand that He says “No” to a few things, so He might say “Yes” to many more.
Download or read book Decision Making and the Will of God written by Garry Friesen and published by Multnomah. This book was released on 2009-10-07 with total page 530 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Does God Have a Perfect Will for Your Life? Does God have a perfect will for each Christian? Can you be absolutely certain of God’s specific will for your life? In this expanded twenty-fifth anniversary edition of his highly acclaimed work, Garry Friesen examines the prevalent view on God’s will today and provides a sound biblical alternative to the traditional teaching of how God guides us. This new edition includes these helpful resources: • Study guide for small groups • Responses to Frequently Asked Questions • Guide to painless Scripture memorization Friesen tackles the very practical issues of choosing a mate, picking a career, and giving in this fresh and liberating approach to decision making and the will of God. Story Behind the Book Most Christians have been taught how to find God’s will, yet many are still unsure whether they’ve found it. God does guide His people, but the question is, “How does He guide?” After “putting out a fleece” to decide which college to attend, Garry Friesen began pondering why it was so hard to find God’s will when he had so sincerely sought it. Was he the only one who did not have 100 percent clarity for every decision? Then a new possibility struck—perhaps his understanding of the nature of God’s will was biblically deficient. Maybe there was a better way to understand HOW God guides.

What do we do when deep grief invades our lives? How do we negotiate the unwelcomed journey we find ourselves on? What do we do with our unspeakable pain? Even more, what do we do when we have asked God to spare the life of our loved one and he does not give the answer we hope for? In When God Says No, Brenda Smit-James tells the story of her journey with grief following the untimely death of her mother – a journey where she questioned God and his goodness, questioned whether Jesus was worth following, and questioned the relevance of the Christian life. In telling her story, Brenda shows us how grief can be engaged and not merely endured and how we can face the darkness of grief with quiet courage and, in so doing, find a way back into the light again.
