Download or read book Your Spiritual Dictionary written by Erishka Fridman-Catt and published by Balboa Press. This book was released on 2015-04-27 with total page 486 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Being human is full-time job that does not always pay well. While spiritual evolution occurs collectively, personal growth takes place individually. We are all here on our personal journeys together. As we grow individually, we contribute to collective advancement, and as we evolve collectively, we improve our personal lives. When you feel stuck, it is natural to think, If only I were somewhere elsethings would be different. If only something in my environment (my partner, my kids, my parents, my job, my home) were different, Id be okay. The good news is that you are able to craft the life you desire from where you currently are. For each of us, different ways will work best at different stages of life. When something isnt working for youwhether it is your job, marriage, conflict with friends or children, or your pet just stops listeninga natural reaction is to withdraw or to leave. Sometimes it is the only solution left, and this is exactly what needs to be done. However, this is not always the case, especially if the situation involves children or other loved ones. There are times when we are simply not happy with where we are in life. And there are times when we see what we want and dont know how to get it. Your Spiritual Dictionary offers practical tools for resolving issues, dealing with everyday routine situations, transforming daily obstacles in to opportunities for growth, and making the most out of present life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Exposing the Spiritual Roots of Disease, Dr. Henry Wright presents a thoroughly biblical and compelling case for healing. If you think you’ve read all you need to know about healing, it’s time to take another look. In this updated edition with expanded material, Dr. Wright clearly shows that disease is not a random occurrence and that science and medicine have their place in dealing with illness but can only offer disease management. What if the answers to true healing and freedom have been in the Bible all along? Dr. Wright spent decades learning the spiritual roots of disease and blocks to healing. In his journey, he discovered that there is a spiritual root issue in about 80 percent of all diseases, which is a direct result of a breakdown in our relationship with God, ourselves, or others. Through his groundbreaking teachings, he helped hundreds of thousands to experience wholeness in their lives. If you have recently received a diagnosis or have been struggling with your health for years, there is hope and healing ahead. “Dr. Henry Wright destroys the lie that we are helpless victims of diseases…. This book is long overdue and is essential reading for any Christian struggling with sickness and for those who seek to minister to them.” —Dr. Rebecca Williams, MA, MB ChB, DRCOG, DCH, DTM&H “Dr. Wright uses a solid scriptural base to reveal the roots of disease and give clear guidance on how we can be free in spirit, soul, and body!” —Sheila Pitcock, LVN

In the spirit, dictionary of destiny starts from the beginning, that is, the process of coming to this world, it ends at point Z, the last chapter of life, which is old age and death. From the point of formation in the womb to birth, to fulfilling our destiny, the experience we have, our biography speaks volume. You operate in every stage of life which represents each bus stop of life. Every stage in life is loaded with history of accountability or otherwise. It is this history that forms the bulk called dictionary of destiny. This book is unique on its own. It traces our destiny from foundation of life to when we leave the world. This is the reason the book is called DICTIONARY OF DESTINY. The book is easy to read and digest. Each stage of life is well treated with scriptures to support the facts of life.

Every embargo placed on your destiny shall break and scatter. Every strongman behind your problem shall expire. Destiny polluters and destiny destroyer shall die. You shall recover what you lost in past years and be blessed. The Lord shall heal and repair your foundation. Nothing called premature death shall be heard in your home. Every spirit of serpent and scorpion that ravage your life, shall expire. Good things in your life shall not be aborted. Banks of witchcraft shall not consume your finance. The storms of life shall be a thing of past in your life. The battle is won as you pick this book. I say congratulation. You are a champion!
