Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whose Image Are you?Showing you how to obtain real deliverance, peace and progress in your life, without unnecessary struggles. INTRODUCTION The Lord God wants us to know that there is perfect healing and deliverance in the name of Jesus and by His blood. There is great peace, joy, progress, success, restoration for the people of God.But the way we go about seeking these things (deliverance, progress, etc) these days is no longer pleasing to God. We have cast away the simplicity that is in Christ, and have replaced it with the heavy yoke of religion. The free deliverance, which is easy to obtain through Christ, doesn't seem to be available anymore. It has been replaced with another type of deliverance, a religious deliverance, which is so hard and costly. People pay so much money, do so much fasting, torture themselves so much all in their bid to obtain deliverance. At the end, they are not really delivered! Their problems remain with them, or even get worse.The purpose of this book is to bring us back to the simple and free way of obtaining perfect deliverance in Christ, without all the religious struggles and troubles that men have imposed on us.Those who have tried the simple ways of Christ, which are in this book, are greatly surprised how so quickly God could make things beautiful again in their lives, without extra cost, without struggles.May God use this book to help bring you into the path of perfect deliverance and progress, which He has obtained for us in Christ Jesus.

Download or read book SPIRITUAL COLOURS and Their Meanings In HOLY GHOST SCHOOL written by Lambert Okafor and published by Midas Touch Gems. This book was released on 2023-06-13 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In our Holy Ghost School dreams, one interesting aspect is that of spiritual Colours! People see colours in their dreams, as God uses these to teach and give us messages, it therefore becomes necessary for us to know the meanings of these colors. God has always been interested in colours. In Exodus 28:1 -6, God told Moses to make holy garments for Aaron, the high priest, and He gave him specific instructions about the colours. ...and they shall make garments for Aaron thy brother, and his sons, that he may minister unto Me in the priest's office... of blue, and of purple, of scarlet and fine line (Exodus 28:4-6) Today, God still speaks about colours, this time spiritual colours through, and so we have to know their meanings. Spiritual colours are the colours we see in our dreams. We are not talking about physical colours that we have in the wardrobes and elsewhere. There is nothing wrong with any physical colours, as far as we know. We are only talking about the spiritual significance of the colours that God brings to teach us in dreams and visions, in Holy Ghost School. We should not in any way try to apply these discussions to the physical colours of our dresses and other materials we have. That is not the purpose.

Download or read book The Color of Christ written by Edward J. Blum and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2012-09-21 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How is it that in America the image of Jesus Christ has been used both to justify the atrocities of white supremacy and to inspire the righteousness of civil rights crusades? In The Color of Christ, Edward J. Blum and Paul Harvey weave a tapestry of American dreams and visions--from witch hunts to web pages, Harlem to Hollywood, slave cabins to South Park, Mormon revelations to Indian reservations--to show how Americans remade the Son of God visually time and again into a sacred symbol of their greatest aspirations, deepest terrors, and mightiest strivings for racial power and justice. The Color of Christ uncovers how, in a country founded by Puritans who destroyed depictions of Jesus, Americans came to believe in the whiteness of Christ. Some envisioned a white Christ who would sanctify the exploitation of Native Americans and African Americans and bless imperial expansion. Many others gazed at a messiah, not necessarily white, who was willing and able to confront white supremacy. The color of Christ still symbolizes America's most combustible divisions, revealing the power and malleability of race and religion from colonial times to the presidency of Barack Obama.

Book excerpt: Trends and skills for those who offer pastoral care Christian pastoral care has changed a great deal in the past few decades in response to many factors in our rapidly changing world. In part 1 of Nurturing Hope, Lynne Baab discusses seven trends in pastoral care--shifts in who delivers pastoral care, the attitudes and commitments that undergird pastoral care, and societal trends that are shaping pastoral care today.

In the second half of the book, Baab presents four practical, doable, energizing skills needed by pastoral carers in our time. Focusing on skills that help carers nurture connections between everyday life and Christian faith, she explores the need for carers to understand common stressors, listen, pray with others, and nurture their personal resilience. Grounded in an understanding of God as the true caregiver and healer, the author offers tips for readers who are training other pastoral carers or developing their own understanding and skills. Each chapter ends with discussion and reflection questions, making the book helpful for groups. Lynne Baab brings readers hope for their caring role and for their own spiritual journey.

Download or read book The Power of Listening written by Lynne M. Baab and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2014-06-05 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Listening skills, and the perspective gained through careful listening, are more important in congregations than ever. Many factors make attentive listening a significant contributor to healthy congregations. As we enter into a post-Christendom culture, the people coming into congregations, as well as the people in the wider community, are less likely to be operating from a shared set of assumptions. With world-wide migration reshaping our communities and congregations, diverse perspectives coming from varied cultural backgrounds are also more common. The breakdown of many support structures in society has created profound pastoral care needs, making listening increasingly significant for both ministers and lay leaders. Polarization over so many issues and the increasing emphasis on story-telling in the journey of faith are two additional reasons why listening matters today. Careful and loving listening nurtures care, connection and depth, which contribute to congregational life and health. Listening to God is another aspect of listening which is gaining increased attention today. Many congregational leaders have become weary of church as a business and are looking for authentic experiences of God’s guidance. Congregations are increasingly engaging in communal discernment. Many listening skills used in human interactions are also building blocks for listening to God.

Download or read book In Whose Image written by Abdou Maliqalim Simone and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1994-07-15 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Muslim scholar with extensive experience in Africa, T. Abdou Maliqalim Simone was recruited by the Islamic fundamentalist Shari‘a Movement in Sudan to act as consultant for its project to unite Muslims and non-Muslims in Khartoum's shanty towns. Based on his interviews with hundreds of individuals during this time, plus extensive historical and archival research, In Whose Image? is a penetrating examination of the use of Islam as a tool for political transformation. Drawing a detailed portrait of political fundamentalism during the 1985-89 period of democratic rule in the Sudan, Simone shows how the Shari‘a Movement attempted to shape a viable social order by linking religious integrity and economic development, where religious practice was to dominate all aspects of society and individuals' daily lives. However, because Sudanese society is remarkably diverse ethnically and religiously, this often led to conflict, fragmentation, and violence in the name of Islam. Simone's own Islamic background leads him to deplore the violence and the devastating psychological, economic, and cultural consequences of one form of Islamic radicalism, while holding to hope that a viable form of this inherently political religion can in fact be applied. As a counterpoint, he ends with a discussion of South Africa's Call of Islam, which seeks political unity through a more tolerant interpretation of Islam. As an introduction to religious discourse in Africa, this book will be widely read by students and scholars throughout African Studies, Religious Studies, Anthropology, and Political Science.

Download or read book Unashamed written by Christine Caine and published by Thomas Nelson. This book was released on 2016-05-10 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bestselling author, speaker, and activist Christine Caine helps you overcome past guilt and live an unashamed life. Shame can take on many forms. It hides in the shadows of the most successful, confident and high-achieving woman who struggles with balancing her work and children, as well as in the heart of the broken, abused and downtrodden woman who has been told that she will never amount to anything. Shame hides in plain sight and can hold us back in ways we do not realize. But Christine Caine wants readers to know something: we can all be free. “I know. I’ve been there,” writes Christine. “I was schooled in shame. It has been my constant companion from my very earliest memories. I see shame everywhere I look in the world, including in the church. It creeps from heart to heart, growing in shadowy places, feeding on itself so that those struggling with it are too shamed to seek help from shame itself.” In Unashamed, Christine reveals the often-hidden consequences of shame—in her own life and the lives of so many Christian women—and invites you to join her in moving from a shame-filled to a shame-free life. In her passionate and candid style, Christine leads you into God’s Word where you will see for yourself how to believe that God is bigger than your mistakes, your inadequacies, your past, and your limitations. He is not only more powerful than anything you’ve done but also stronger than anything ever done to you. You can deal with your yesterday today, so that you can move on to what God has in store for you tomorrow—a powerful purpose and destiny he wants you to fulfill. Join the journey. Lay ahold of the power of Jesus Christ today and step into the future—his future for you—a beautiful, full, life-giving future, where you can even become a shame-lifter to others. Live unashamed! Dive deeper into the Unashamed message with the Unashamed video study and study guide. Available now.

Download or read book Whose Daughter Are You written by Shirley L. Diggle and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2015-07-20 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "You can't be a minister," my pastor said, "because God didn't choose any women." Really, God? You made me a woman but that disqualifies me? How can that be? It has taken more than half a century and many difficulties, including rape and a hope-shattering accident along the way, but our gracious Father God has gradually brought healing from those dismissing words. I have learned that, far from women being created to be mere servants and sex objects, God had a very different destiny for His daughters. I discovered that the Hebrew words He spoke to bring forth the first woman meant "one who sets boundaries, who is a warrior, a theologian, and an image bearer," who would partner with the man, to defeat God's enemy and fill the earth with His Presence. When Abraham's servant was searching for a suitable bride for Isaac, he asked Rebecca, "Whose daughter are you? Is there room in your father's house for us to lodge this night?" When we know whose daughter we are, we have authority to invite people into our Father's house. The challenge now facing us is for men and women to prepare for the rematch of the battle that was lost in the Garden of Eden, by learning to work and war together to establish His kingdom and become His bride. Shirley & Paul Diggle have been married for over 50 years and live in Victoria B.C. They have four children and 12 grandchildren. Shirley is a teacher, writer and quilter.
