When Rhonda Hengst imagined what her life would look like in the future, she thought she’d get married, have a few children, live in a nice home, and have a happy life. She didn’t account for multiple sclerosis. Though her plans changed, God’s plan for her life became ever clearer. Looking back on the frustration surrounding her diagnosis and how she and her family coped with the world-shaking news of such a huge change to come, Rhonda recounts the strength she found in God and the plan she knew He had in store for her.

Looking ever onward in her journey of complete healing and faith, Rhonda has become stronger than ever before as she finds her medicine and hope in God above and shares her message of the importance of being unconditionally faithful and believing in her healing no matter what.

Download or read book Okay God What s Next written by Rev. Bill Solomon and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2019-05-02 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Okay, God, What's Next? tries to do two things: one, to encourage a return to the original principles called grammatico-historico hermeneutics; second, to apply and illustrate these principles in a difficult prophecy passage in the book of Revelation that has caused among Bible teachers more heat than light. Most theologians and Bible teachers would affirm that hermeneutics or the principles governing biblical interpretation is the prince of the theological discipline. Out of one's interpretative process comes systematics, biblical theology, ethics, pastoral theology, evangelism, prophecy studies, homiletics, and practical application for Christian living. Hermeneutics is the foundation, the genesis, the beginning point of biblical exploration. It determines the outcome. The author looks at Revelation 5""8, the seven seals vision, to illustrate and apply a natural, time-honored, and simple principle of biblical interpretation. This little book in your hands does not touch when future events may happen. No date setting. Only God knows. It does touch God's sovereign plans and asks what? What's next? Since God is absolutely sovereign and events will happen just as he has planned, what seems to be the next thing on his agenda for the earth and people? Does the Bible reveal it? Can we know? Well, maybe. It is hoped this book will be used in home Bible study groups or prayer groups as a stimulus toward deeper study into hermeneutics or the book of Revelation or both.

Book excerpt: "This book is a "tour de force." It is simply magnificent" witty, scholarly, profoundly persuasive, blunt, prophetic, and convicting this slow-to-believe disciple all over the place." " Brennan Manning, Author of "The Ragamuffin Gospel" "I'm not sure what to make of it all, but Paul Smith gives the best arguments I have ever come across for calling God Mother. For anyone struggling with how far we should go in using inclusive language, this is "must" reading. " Tony Campolo, Eastern College "With tender power and wit, Paul Smith challenges the church to biblical fidelity and justice in its worship language. How encouraging it is to hear an evangelical male voice affirm the necessity of feminine images of God! This outstanding book so clearly and convincingly demonstrates the biblical imperative for inclusive God-language that the Christian community can no longer ignore it." " Jann Aldredge-Clanton, Ph.D., Chaplain, Baylor University Medical Center, Author of "God and Gender" and "God: A Word for Girls and Boys"

Download or read book Remarkable written by Brady Boyd and published by Howard Books. This book was released on 2019-09-03 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Senior pastor Brady Boyd draws parallels between the early church at Corinth and today’s culture to illustrate how Christians can stay true to their beliefs and live a loving and faith-filled life—demonstrating a new way to interact with the modern world. Lead pastor of New Life Church Brady Boyd encourages us to look beyond the archetypical pitfalls Christians historically have fallen victim to: Instigators hold an “us-against-you” outlook towards anyone whose beliefs differ from theirs; Isolators go into holy hiding and choose to associate exclusively with those who think like them; and Integrators slide so seamlessly into the surrounding culture that they become ingrained in it. Instead, as Boyd illuminates here in Remarkable, Paul the Apostle proposes a new approach, one centered on God’s wisdom rather than societal temptations and popular culture. Through Paul’s teachings, Boyd shows us how we can not only learn to hear the Word, but also live it, reclaiming the peace, the freedom, and the joy that we lost by imitating the modern world. Remarkable reminds us that by embracing the vision Paul held for followers of God, we can begin leading truly remarkable lives by letting love guide us every step of the way.

Download or read book Exposing the Identity Thief written by P. C. Leveare and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2012-04 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an intriguing discovery of the very essence of our being as a child of God. Look! We all want to be like Jesus, but the reality is we already are like Him, we're just not fully convinced. The Bible tells us, "...as He is so are we..." (1John 4:17), and that it's no longer we who live, but Christ who lives within us (see Galatians 2:20). Our outward transformation depends on our inward realization, not on our trying. Our identity in Christ is the cornerstone of everything in life. The greatest measure of contentment, peace and joy is realized as I become more and more convinced of my true identity. That's what this book is about...Discovering who I really am by knowing Him...FINDING MYSELF IN HIM. As a teenager, P.C. thought that playing rock 'n roll and partying was all there was to living a fulfilled life. His party, however, was unexpectedly interrupted by an encounter with Jesus Christ. This radically altered his whole perception of life and its purpose. From this new-found relationship with Jesus Christ he began to discover that you don't have to be someone special to be someone special. P.C. and his wife reside in Georgia, where he leads worship at his local church and teaches weekly from the Bible.
Download or read book Learning How to Breathe Under Water written by Angela R. Thomas and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2022-04-19 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink. He who believes in Me, as the Scripture said, "From his innermost being will flow rivers of living water." Angela Thomas's personal journey has taught her one thing, that breathing underwater isn't for the faint of heart! It is in these times that God is revealing the mysteries of the kingdom. We as believers are instructed to "surrender," "submit," and "submerge" so that we can be filled with the living water of God. God's divine spirit takes us to a depth in Him that causes us to experience his peace supernaturally. From the sweet whisper of his voice, we as believers say yes. Yet through the raging waters of adversity, we sometimes forget how to be still and know... that harmony is still in our reach. Surrendering to truth can be pulverizing. It can cause you to have conversations with your private realities, yet you will learn to jump off that cliff of faith into your destiny as your external surroundings give way to your inner peace. Because we are overcomers by the blood of the Lamb and the Word of our testimonies, Tumeeka Brown's life lessons caused radical encounters that changed her life, all because of her submission. Each trial produced deeper evidence of God's faithfulness. Go on the journey with her as you find healing in yours. Encounter the joy of the Lord as you wake up every day in the knowledge of His presence. You will learn how to live in the wet places, where blessings flow and favor pours. Come, enter His secret place, submerged in the wealth of His glory. Learning to live from a place of tranquility in the middle of travesty isn't easy. I mean how can we be light bearers when we are drowning? We learn how to breathe underwater.
Download or read book Sharing in God s Presence written by Roy D. Kindelberger and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2018-10-05 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sharing in God’s Presence means far more than “getting saved” and experiencing God’s blessing in our lives. As believers, his presence becomes a very personal part of who we are and what we do—God actually shares himself with us! The language that we use often fails to capture the depths of God’s nature penetrating ours, the fullness of his Spirit permeating our hearts, and the innermost infusion of his presence in our lives. But the truth couldn’t be more intimate: “The person who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with him” (1 Corinthians 6:17)! This book is an invitation to share in God’s presence by allowing God to share himself with you. God wants everyone to share in his embrace. As we accept our responsibility for prayer, ministry, and even revival, we share in the very precious dynamic of give and response that’s involved in an intimate walk with Jesus Christ. For a general readership, this book is a reworking of material from the second half of the author's academic work God's Absence and the Charismatic Presence.

Through sharing her personal experiences of how God has worked in her own life and referencing applicable scriptures, Wiebe illustrates how shame can control our lives if we allow it.

None of us are on this earth just to exist. God's Love for the Shameful shares the inspirational story of how one woman slowly came to realize that every individual is capable of claiming an abundant life through the warmth and transformative power of the Lord.
Download or read book God s Absence and the Charismatic Presence written by Roy D. Kindelberger and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2017-05-17 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author's theological inquiry is intended to raise questions of interpretation within the camp of openness theology and to direct a discussion on the implications of this movement for the charismatic/Pentecostal community. Open theism or openness theology affirms that the universe is open, the future is not settled, God is essentially relational love, and the risks of love and the threats against it are real. The author digs deep into this area of doctrine in order to question how far openness theology is willing to go. Is it only the future that is open to God, or are there perhaps unknown aspects to the past and present as well? What does God know about sin, and when does he know it? Is it possible for God to be totally absent from a person's life or even from an entire nation? If God can be absent, can he also be exceptionally present in the lives of believers? What would the divine presence and the charismata (spiritual ministries) look like in an open universe?
