Download or read book Broken Vessels Restored written by Nate Fortner and published by . This book was released on 2020-05-04 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many people misunderstand and believe that God created everything within seven days. That's not true and clearly not Biblical. The Bible clearly states that God the Father, Jesus His Son and the Holy Spirit were all present at creation, which only took six days. On the seventh day, they rested. I love the story of creation, because we truly get to see the heart of God in action. We read in the New Testament that anyone who comes to God, must come as a little child. That's why I love the creation story so much, because on the first six days of creation we see where God spoke everything into existence, except one thing! In this little book, you will learn what God didn't speak into existence, and because of that, we can overcome the feeling of being empty on the inside. We can overcome depression and anxiety. We can overcome demonic attacks upon our lives. We can be victorious in Jesus name!

Download or read book Restore Such a One written by Lance M. Bacon and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2024-08-01 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Widespread deficiencies in spiritual formation see an increasing number of ministers buckle under the significant burdens common to the task. There are seasons when a powerful triad of the flesh, the world, and the devil converge (Eph 2:2–3, cf. Jas 3:15 and 1 John 2:16). Misdirected attempts to fulfill emptiness, find worth, or heal longstanding wounds ensue. Widespread instances of sexual immorality result. Sound exegesis and analysis of theological doctrine presents an allowance, in certain cases, for ministerial restoration. However, this necessitates an intimate and intricate approach that differs significantly from the varied solutions churches and denominations offer. Few restoration programs bring a biblical response to bear. Remarkably rare are restoration programs that look to correct causal factors and commit to congregational care. This program orients itself on an understanding of brokenness and the need for holistic (re)formation. The latter requires fallen ministers to progress beyond biblical confession and repentance to partner with the Holy Spirit and key authorities such as an overseer, mentors, Christian mental health professionals, and a designated congregation. The unitive goal is a “sanctifying psychopathology” that properly diagnoses spiritual and emotional health; eradicates the adverse influences of emotional, cultural, and spiritual factors; and redirects self-oriented patterns of thought and behavior.

He finds her broken and abused, unwilling to trust Hosea or his God. But when marrying Hosea becomes her only choice, Gomer does what she's good at--she survives. Can Hosea's love for God and God's love for Israel heal Gomer's broken spirit? With her potent combination of in-depth research and masterful storytelling, Mesu Andrews brings to life a complex and fascinating biblical story of the power of love and forgiveness in the face of utter betrayal.

Book excerpt: FULL RESTORATION is not just about divorce! There is no other book like this one! Full Restoration reaches out to any Christian who has sinned in his or her past. Gods restoration is never partial, but complete! You can still be used mightily for God! Full Restoration presents a sound interpretation of 1 Timothy 3:2 The pastoral aspirant is to be one who is a "one woman kind of man". It emphasizes this man's present character, not his past sin. Full Restoration shows that there is not a place in the Bible that says men who have sinned in their past lose their giftedness. With confession and repentance they can be used effectively in ministry again! God's forgiveness and restoration is complete. Even Jesus told Peter after his denial of the Lord, "Feed my sheep"! Full Restoration is for all Christians who have fallen into any sin, but are forgiven and desire to serve the Lord again! May the church see its need to discontinue seeing these precious forgiven and gifted saints as second class citizens...but restored persons who will feed Jesus' sheep!

This book was released on 2017-11-30 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hope is like a light shining in the distance where once laid darkness. In faith, though doubting and crying out to a God of love, hope springs up and grows increasingly with trust until the light bursts through the small opening in the trees. Now when you see clearly, life takes on new meaning. In Railroad Crossings to Restoration: Looking Back and Pressing Forward, Larene speaks from the heart in truth and love, remembering the journey she had traveled in the darkest moments of her life. This journey would not be like the last. It was not one where she knew the landmarks and where God would show her the paths to take to get there, filling in the blank spaces between. No. This journey was different. With no landmarks on the map and no knowledge of where she was going, she would need to trust God as He took her uncertain hand and made this new journey a mystery, an adventure, a venture into a newfound land of faith.

Download or read book Journey of the Soul Cracked Pots and Broken Vessels written by Dr. Phyllis Davis & Rev. Carrol Davis and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2014-03 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discover your story, learn how to tell it, and watch God perform miracles in your life as you fall more in love with your Abba Father. God uses cracked pots and broken vessels to tell His story: “And they overcame … by the power of the blood of the lamb and the word of their testimony …” Revelation 12:11 KJV. God doesn’t waste anything or anyone. He takes the scars and pain of your life and turns you into the vessel of His glory you were created to be. Nothing surprises God. He has a plan to redeem you, save you, and let His light shine through you. Many Christians walk in bondage for failure to know and follow the Word of God. The Bible is Christ’s love letter to you, an instruction book to guide you through all of life’s difficulties. Who better to direct you through uncertain times than the one who knows of the best plans for your life? Yet Christ says his people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. God’s Word rightly applied to the strongholds in your life can help you live the abundant life Christ died to give you and set the captives free. It is not just a matter of salvation, but rather growth in Christ—the sanctification process—that leads you to the rich and abundant life Christ died to give you. What is your testimony? It isn’t just your story of salvation. Tell of your journey and how the Lord allowed the Scriptures to come alive in your life. Tell of the living Jesus.

Download or read book Your Own Jesus written by Mark Hall and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2009-08-30 with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today, so many are fearful of the unknown – a crumbling economy, job loss, loneliness, terrorism, tragic news around every corner. We are overwhelmed. Does the security and peace that should come from knowing we are in the hands of a loving God now seem to be an empty promise? Perhaps that’s because we have built our foundation on someone else’s faith – parents’, friend’s, or pastor’s, so we merely inherit a relationship with Jesus, but never find our own. A true storyteller and a teacher with a heart for ministry, Mark Hall traces the tragic, downward spiral that leads to a life of fear and spiritual compromise, and then charts the hopeful, upward road to the joy and confidence that comes when we claim our very own Jesus. Through fascinating personal stories, scriptural insights, and practical interactive studies, Your Own Jesus will liberate readers from compromise and empower them with joy and confidence.

Book excerpt: Broken Vessels is Dr. Mark Denison's latest book on recovery from sexual brokenness. This is unique because a pastor writes this book for pastors. Bringing his unique perspective as a senior pastor of 31 years, along with his personal story of sexual brokenness and recovery, Denison addresses difficult subjects that most would never touch. This book answers several difficult questions. "Can a man love God and porn at the same time?" "Why do 37% of pastors struggle with pornography?" "What makes pastors susceptible to sexual brokenness?" "What are the three basic causes of sexual addiction?" "What are the four keys to recovery?" "Once a pastor has fallen, can he pastor again?" Denison tackles some tough theological issues tied to sexual brokenness as he drills down into the deeper issues behind "the issue." But this book is not just for pastors. It is a must-read for all church leaders. Given that three out of eight men on staff at your church have this problem, your church needs to have a ready response when the crisis hits. Only 7% of churches have an answer to this pandemic. If your church is among the other 93%, this book serves as a roadmap to navigate the choppy waters you will inevitably face. Denison offers a step-by-step approach to addressing the issues of addiction and pornography. There is an added benefit to this in-depth look at one of the church's greatest challenges of this generation. Seventeen brave pastors from all over the world have been courageous enough to tell their personal stories of addiction and recovery. You will be moved and inspired as you read their stories of pain, abandonment, trauma, addiction, and restoration. Broken Vessels is unlike any book written on the subject of porn and sexual addiction. It will be an enormous addition to your library and the ministry of the church. If you are a church leader, you need this book. If you are a pastor, you must have this book! Dr. Mark Denison, along with his wife Beth, is the founder of There's Still Hope, a recovery ministry for those who have fallen to sexual brokenness. Mark leads men through his acclaimed 90- Day Recovery course and leads seven weekly recovery groups, including one that is held specifically for pastors. Mark and Beth also lead several recovery groups for couples. Mark serves as a Recovery Specialist for C3 Global Net-work, which offers resources to hundreds of churches. Addition-ally, Mark is a frequent speaker for Iron Sharpens Iron, Come to the Table, Castimonia, and other national conferences.
