Book excerpt: Encounters With God” is an inspiring book that encourages the reader to realize that the word “coincidence” should never be a part of a true believer’s vocabulary. God is not a God of chance. He is the God of the Universe who longs to have a loving, intimate relationship with each one of us. In this book I share some of my own experiences, with divine messages arriving in various ways: through tests and trials, brushes with death, unusual meetings, dreams and visions, even a loved one’s deathbed revelation. My desire is that you will be drawn by the Holy Spirit to a personal encounter with God. Anything that God has done with me He can easily do with you. He just needs a willing vessel. And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.”_Jeremiah 29:13

Download or read book How to Hear God written by Pete Greig and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2022-03-01 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You were created to enjoy a real, conversational relationship with God. The Bible says that hearing the voice of our Creator is both central and natural to our existence as humans. When life falls apart, we need God's comfort. In moments of cultural turmoil, we need his clarity. Facing difficult decisions, we need his guidance. Desiring a deeper faith, we need God to say something, anything, to turn the monologue we call prayer into a genuine conversation. But how do we really hear God? Nothing could possibly matter more than learning to discern his authentic voice, and yet few things in life are more susceptible to delusion, deception, and downright abuse. Having addressed God's silence in God on Mute, and then How to Pray in his previous bestseller, Pete Greig is back to bring wisdom and guidance to one of the most pressing and perplexing aspects of universal Christian experience—How to Hear God. Exploring the story of Christ's playful, poignant conversation on the road to Emmaus after his resurrection, Pete draws deeply from the insights of a wide range of Christian traditions; weaving together the evangelical emphasis on hearing God in the Bible, and the charismatic commitment to hearing God in the prophetic, with the contemplative understanding of God's "still, small voice" within. "Pete transcends the Christian tribalism of our day… rooting us in something far more ancient, unchanging, timeless. What the early Christians called the Way. This ancient form of Christianity is the antidote to much of the modern church's pain. The cure for our ills." —John Mark Comer

Download or read book Experiencing God in the Ordinary written by William A. Barry and published by Loyola Press. This book was released on 2020-04-01 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 2021 Illumination Book Awards, Silver Medal: Theology God’s presence is not “out there” but right here. We tend to look for God in dramatic or miraculous moments, but such expectations can blind us to God’s ongoing presence. What if God is already with us, in the life we have this moment? When we experience ordinary but meaningful events, such as our first love or a favorite novel, we are in fact encountering God’s presence. As we learn to notice spiritual movement within and around us, we can recognize the many facets of God’s love that touch us daily. “As a priest and spiritual director of many decades, my driving desire is for people to experience God’s limitless love for them and to recognize it when it emerges in what they consider just ordinary life happenings and conversations.” —William A. Barry, SJ Whether we are in pain or crisis, questioning if we are really worthy of God’s attention, or are simply wondering why God would be in the mundane details of our lives, Experiencing God in the Ordinary can nurture our hope—that God is always present and can be found in an ordinary day. Complete with personal stories and various suggestions for prayer and meditation, this book is perfect for devotional reading, retreat, or small-group discussion.

Book excerpt: When I encountered Jesus in the heavenly realms in 1992, I realized several truths that have changed me forever. First, the heavenly kingdom is perfect in every way. Second, I saw that God's initial intention for man and this earth was also perfection. We are His children, and we were destined to live on the earth forever in that godly perfection.I have, over the years, seen the body of Christ moving toward this final hour in history where the culmination of all the ages is approaching. In this final hour, "For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God" (Romans 8:19).I saw the throne room and the innumerable presence of saints worshipping the Lamb who was on the throne. I saw in an instant that this gathering was our heavenly Father's goal: to redeem His family back to Himself. At this point, I encountered God's normal. His ways are definitely higher than our ways. "For just as the heavens are higher than the earth, so my ways are higher than your ways, and my thoughts higher than your thoughts" (Isaiah 55:9).Now, I present to you this amazing study on the understanding that was imparted to me by the Word of God and this amazing glimpse into our immediate future.
