Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We live in a very fast-paced world, and we are constantly on the move trying to keep up with everything. In doing so, we drain ourselves of energy. We live for family, work, and other people; so much so that we forget about ourselves. Sometimes we allow others to define who we are, and we forget who God says we are. How can we regain strength and renew our inner peace, joy, and happiness? God is calling us to come to him, fellowship together, and bring our burdens to him. A refreshing time with God contains 365 days of devotions and inspiration that help you discover your unique self. Opening your Bible daily with this guide helps you understand that God has created you to make a difference. It allows you to discover your power of dominion and take back control. “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” Philippians 4:13 (NKJV)

Download or read book Time for God written by Jacques Philippe and published by Scepter Publishers. This book was released on 2017-03-29 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many people today are thirsty for God and feel a desire for an intense, personal prayer life that is deep and ongoing. But they encounter obstacles that prevent them from following the path seriously, and especially from persevering on it. Time for God was written with these desires and difficulties in mind. In Time for God, author Jacques Philippe mainly concentrates on mental prayer: prayer that consists of facing God in solitude and silence for a time in order to enter into intimate, loving communion with him. Practicing this kind of prayer regularly is considered by all spiritual masters to be an indispensable path that gives access to genuine Christian life—a path to knowing and loving God that empowers us to respond to his call to holiness addressed to each individual. Philippe draws on years of experience as a spiritual guide to illuminate the fundamental principles of mental prayer and describes some common mistakes and misconceptions that can lead it astray. With simplicity and clarity he explains the foundational principles for a healthy prayer life and gives advice for overcoming the various obstacles that arise when one sets off on the path of interior prayer.

Download or read book Refresh written by Blake McKinney and published by Nurturing Faith Incorporated. This book was released on 2013-06-12 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The words in this book flow from a conviction that God intends for your faith to intersect with your everyday life. Many people hang out with God for an hour on Sunday and then ignore him for the rest of the week. Or they have a ten-minute "quiet time" in the morning, and then leave God behind and get on with the business of the real world. But the real world is the only place in which you can live out your faith in God. He wants you to pay attention to him not only while you sing on Sunday, but all week long while you wash dishes or negotiate contracts or take algebra tests or sit in traffic or whatever else you do. He wants to go with you to the office, the classroom, the coffee shop, the soccer field, and every other stop on your route each day. Both your faith and your everyday life will be enriched when they experience more regular contact with each other. My hope is that these devotions will help to facilitate that contact. This book is yours now, and you can use it however you desire. But I would suggest that you read one of the readings each weekday, in the middle of the day, in the middle of your normal activities. Let it be a divine interruption that helps you to pay attention to him right in the midst of the real world. Let it refresh you and remind you that God is God and he is with you and he can make an impact on the way you live the rest of your day. May God use this book to make you more impressed with him, and more willing to let him work in you and through you each day.

Download or read book Refreshed written by John Hindley and published by The Good Book Company. This book was released on 2022-05-01 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Devotions for a vacation that’s refreshing in every way. Vacations often give us an opportunity to rest and reflect. However, when our normal routines and habits are suspended, it can be hard to spend time with God. These 30 devotions have been specifically designed to help you to rest in the Lord’s goodness and glory during your time away so that you can return home feeling refreshed spiritually as well as physically. Author John Hindley, who also wrote Serving without Sinking, says this: “I want to help you find rest, peace, joy, hope, and renewed zeal. We go away to be refreshed. Christ is the one who sets his Spirit in our hearts to cause streams of living water to well up within us and flow from us. Sometimes we rest away from Jesus, but how much better to rest with and in him? He is where our true refreshment is found.” You can pick and choose which devotions to read depending on the type of vacation you are on (for example, city break or beach) and there are optional family activities and questions linked to each devotion giving other family members an opportunity to reflect alongside you.

Download or read book Washed and Waiting written by Wesley Hill and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2010-09-21 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a book written primarily for gay Christians and those who love them. Part memoir, part pastoral-theological reflection, this book wrestles with three main areas of struggle that many gay Christians face: (1) What is God’s will for sexuality? (2) If the historic Christian tradition is right and same-sex behavior is ruled out, how should gay Christians deal with their resulting loneliness? (3) How can gay Christians come to an experience of grace that rescues them from crippling feelings of shame and guilt? Author Wesley Hill is not advocating that it is possible for every gay Christian to become straight, nor is he saying that God affirms homosexuality. Instead, Hill comes alongside gay Christians and says, “You are not alone. Here is my experience; it’s like yours. And God is with us. We can share in God’s grace.” While some authors profess a deep faith in Christ and claim a powerful experience of the Holy Spirit precisely in and through their homosexual practice, Hill’s own story, by contrast, is a story of feeling spiritually hindered, rather than helped, by his homosexuality. His story testifies that homosexuality was not God’s original creative intention for humanity—that it is, on the contrary, a tragic sign of human nature and relationships being fractured by sin—and therefore that homosexual practice goes against God’s express will for all human beings, especially those who trust in Christ. This book is written mainly for those homosexual Christians who are trying to walk the narrow path of celibacy and are convinced that their discipleship to Jesus necessarily commits them to the demanding, costly obedience of choosing not to nurture their homosexual desires. With reflections from the lives of Henri Nouwen and Gerard Manley Hopkins, Wesley Hill encourages and challenges Christians with homosexual desires to live faithful to God’s plan for human sexuality.

Download or read book Still Waiting written by Ann Swindell and published by NavPress. This book was released on 2017-04-04 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What if God wants you to wait? Most of us know what it’s like to wait for God to change our circumstances. But, whether we’re waiting for physical healing, emotional breakthrough, or better relationships, waiting is something we usually try to avoid. Why? Because waiting is painful and hard. The truth is, it’s also inevitable. In Still Waiting, Ann Swindell explores the depths of why God wants us to wait by chronicling her own compelling story of waiting for healing from an incurable condition. She offers a vibrant retelling of the biblical account of the Bleeding Woman that parallels her story—and yours, too. Let Ann help you see the promise that is hidden in the ache of waiting and the hope of what God can—and will—do as you wait on him.

Download or read book The Times of Refreshing written by Loretta Hardrick and published by . This book was released on 2018-09-23 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book you will be awakened as God himself, is glorified and provides revelations, comfort, healing, deliverance, change, miracles and provision for His people. You will be enlightened and encouraged by the journal entries as well as the testimonies explaining what praising God totally encompasses and how praising God can and will change your life. It is our intention that the Holy Ghost open up your eyes of understanding, for you to become conscious and more aware of God's presence. From the presence of the Lord, comes the fullness of joy and from the fullness, may you grasp, cling to and absorb a crisp clean sense of refreshing. Imagine the birds as they gather at a puddle of fresh water after a downpour of rain; their wings begin to flap up and down as they allow the moisture to saturate their entire being, they sense a freshness transpiring; a renewing if you will. We each can experience this genuine cleansing and be rejuvenated from the Spirit of the Lord as He rests upon our hearts. The word confirms He is with us always but oftentimes we need a reminder that His Spirit dwells in us and that He truly is with us always. When we truly comprehend this concept the blinders are lifted from our eyes and our visibility is enhanced, suddenly you step into the realization of this truth; this awareness is what causes the hairs on the back of your neck to stand at attention, and goosebumps to appear on our skin, while warm tears stream down your cheeks. The reality, the consciousness of His presence, His glory is being manifested through the revelations which sink in; the epitome of the Almighty through His spirit has reached down into the depths of your innards and is intermingling with your Spirit touching us in such a divine manner that leaves one inwardly and outwardly refreshed. A newfound freshness that catapults our gratefulness into the next dimension through the vibrancy of praise expressed all the way down from the depths of our soul bursting out into the very existence of our Creator's atmosphere. Don't you want to partake of such a glorious encounter? A light into a darkened world, a ray of God's Son-shine from His presence for all the world to behold.

Book excerpt: An invitation for overachievers to discover what it means to rest as God's daughters without compromising their God-given design as doers. Are you a Martha who feels guilty for not being a Mary? Do you want to sit at Jesus’s feet as Mary did—but you feel the need to get things done? In Made Like Martha, Katie M. Reid invites you to exchange try-hard striving for hope-filled freedom without abandoning your doer’s heart in the process.

What matters is that your spiritual posture is one of a beloved daughter who knows she doesn’t need to earn God’s love. Your desire to get things done is not something to temper but something to embrace as you serve from a place of strength and peace—knowing Christ already did His most important work for you on the cross. With “It Is Finished” activities at the end of each chapter and a fiveweek Bible study included, Made Like Martha helps you find rest from striving even as you celebrate your God-given design to “do.” “Made Like Martha will infuse your life with a fresh perspective as you learn both to embrace your God-given personality and also discover how—and when—to rest and retreat.” —Karen Ehman, Proverbs 31 Ministries speaker and New York Times bestselling author of Keep It Shut
