This book charts her remarkable supernatural survival after her mother aborted her, and her quest for acceptance and purpose after multiple sexual abuses before age five, suicidal attempts, rapes, teen pregnancy and being a high school dropout. These obstacles to success, as well as, two failed marriages and single parenting however did not prevent a forward movement toward her destiny. After reaching adulthood, she achieved a General Education Diploma certificate, graduated from American University and reached pinnacles of success she thought never possible for "someone like her." Then, by age 35, once again, her life was filled with depression and despair, and she decided to agree with the voices in her head suggesting suicide to end her pain. At that very moment, her choice threatened her divine destiny and instantly, she was propelled into an encounter with the Almighty God where she heard Him audibly pronounce, "I am your Heavenly Father and everything will be alright." Her life immediately took on new meaning and she was never the same. This book shares gold nuggets of truth from 27 years of intimacy with God, awesome experiences and supernatural encounters obtained while serving as an evangelist, teacher and prophet. Within these pages is a bountiful harvest of revelation knowledge, keys to unlock mysteries, strategies for spiritual growth and development, rules of engaging in spiritual warfare, and so much more.

This book was released on 2013-08-22 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Volume 3, "Knowledge, Wisdom and Understanding" shares another captivating glimpse into Apostle Sharon Loving Ruff's 27 year journey as a Black American female God-sent servant in this generation. Every thought-provoking chapter journals a particular experience, revelation, or adventure which occurred as she was sent to convey God's response to specific prayers from His people, or as training for future ministry assignments. Thus, she provides a unique perspective of the heart of God towards humanity: His love, compassion, forgiveness, mercy, grace, as well as, displeasure, chastisement and judgment. Armed with Rhema Words from the mouth of God, Biblical revelation knowledge and spiritual giftings from her Apostolic calling, her journals not only share God's response to various situations but also exposes Satan's deceptive tactics which were used to interfere with or to derail people's ability to reach their next level of development until God sent her to them as His messenger. Thus, her service unto the Lord yields first-hand experience in trying to help individuals escape or avoid pitfalls and dangers from limiting themselves to carnal assumptions. It is not surprising that by unveiling mysteries of God, she shows how God's timing and manner of response to situations is often different than mankind anticipates. Apostle Sharon's inspiring stories also delineate the far-reaching implications of God SENT words: written, visual or audible, and variances in the human struggle to advance beyond carnality into the realm of unlimited divine possibilities. These Rhema writings offer manna from on-high for those seeking greater truths and/or answers to perplexing situation, spiritual growth and maturity, and how to walk in intimacy with the Almighty God, Jesus the Christ and the Holy Spirit.

This book was released on 2015-11-30 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Apostle Sharon Loving Ruff shares an amazing journey in her quest for a greater anointing from the Lord for spiritual warfare. After years of being used in the deliverance ministry, she encountered individuals who didn’t receive the fullness of relief they desired. Being one who had suffered torments from demonic attacks from childhood, her heart cried out for their plight. One day she decided to experiment with a warfare strategy recorded in Ezekiel 4 in the Bible. The results she sought did not manifest, so she lost interest in that approach. Years later, the Holy Spirit whispered, “Enemies are all around you.” Shortly afterwards, she received a visit from an Angel of the Lord. In a voluminous voice he said, "Declare war against the enemies of the Cross attacking you and the works of your hands." Little did she know that the manner in which she followed those instructions wasn't sufficient to protect the works of her hands or her from the spiritual enemies that the Holy Spirit had told her were surrounding her. This truth was revealed about four months later when the Angel of the Lord made his second visit. This time his visitation brought a message that was a strong rebuke. Her book chronicles her experiences, manifested changes in her life and members of her church, and ends with an amazing breakthrough. She invites others to seek the Lord for permission to use His declaration of warfare prayer delivered by the Angel of the Lord on his third visit.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A compassionate, shame-free guide for your darkest days “A one-of-a-kind book . . . to read for yourself or give to a struggling friend or loved one without the fear that depression and suicidal thoughts will be minimized, medicalized or over-spiritualized.”—Kay Warren, cofounder of Saddleback Church What happens when loving Jesus doesn’t cure you of depression, anxiety, or suicidal thoughts? You might be crushed by shame over your mental illness, only to be told by well-meaning Christians to “choose joy” and “pray more.” So you beg God to take away the pain, but nothing eases the ache inside. As darkness lingers and color drains from your world, you’re left wondering if God has abandoned you. You just want a way out. But there’s hope. In I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die, Sarah J. Robinson offers a healthy, practical, and shame-free guide for Christians struggling with mental illness. With unflinching honesty, Sarah shares her story of battling depression and fighting to stay alive despite toxic theology that made her afraid to seek help outside the church. Pairing her own story with scriptural insights, mental health research, and simple practices, Sarah helps you reconnect with the God who is present in our deepest anguish and discover that you are worth everything it takes to get better. Beautifully written and full of hard-won wisdom, I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die offers a path toward a rich, hope-filled life in Christ, even when healing doesn’t look like what you expect.

Download or read book Introducing Christian Theologies Volume Two written by Victor I. Ezigbo and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2015-12-31 with total page 371 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Should Christianity's theological face remain largely European and North American in the twenty-first century in the wake of the expansion of Christianity in sub-Saharan Africa, Asia, and Latin America? The question about the "theological face" of Christianity cannot be ignored. For too long African, Asian, and Latin American theologians have been left out of mainstream theological discussions. Few standard textbooks on Christian theology acknowledge the unique contributions theologians from these continents have made to global Christianity. Introducing Christian Theologies: Voices from Global Christian Communities is a two-volume textbook that alters the predominantly European and North American "theological face" of Christianity by interacting with voices of Christian communities from across the globe. Introducing Christian Theologies explores the works of key theologians from around the world, highlighting their unique contributions to Christian theology and doctrine.

Download or read book Corpus Christologicum written by Gregory R Lanier and published by Hendrickson Publishers. This book was released on 2021-01-01 with total page 737 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A compendium of approximately three hundred texts--in Greek, Hebrew, Aramaic, Latin, Ethiopic, Syriac, Coptic, and other languages--that are important for the study of Jewish messianism and early Christology. In recent decades, the study of Jewish messianic ideas and how they influenced early Christology has become an incredibly active field within biblical studies. Numerous books and articles have engaged with the ancient sources to trace various themes, including "Messiah" language itself, exalted patriarchs, angel mediators, "wisdom" and "word," eschatology, and much more. But anyone who attempts to study the Jewish roots of early Christianity faces a challenge: the primary sources are wide-ranging, involve ancient languages, and are often very difficult to track down. Books are littered with citations and a host of other sometimes obscure writings, and it can be difficult to sort them all out. This book makes a much-needed contribution by bringing together the most important primary texts for the study of Jewish messianism and early Christology--nearly three hundred in total--and presenting the reader with essential information to study them: the critical text itself (with apparatus), a fresh translation, a current bibliography, and thematic tags that allow the reader to trace themes across the corpus. This volume aims to be the starting point for all future work on the primary sources that are relevant to messianology and Christology. About the Author Gregory R. Lanier (PhD, University of Cambridge) is Associate Professor of New Testament at Reformed Theological Seminary in Orlando, Florida. He has written extensively on early Christology and published Old Testament Conceptual Metaphors and the Christology of Luke's Gospel (Bloomsbury, 2018); Septuaginta: A Reader's Edition (Hendrickson, 2018); and Is Jesus Truly God? How the Bible Teaches the Divinity of Christ (Crossway, 2020). He also serves as associate pastor of River Oaks Church in Lake Mary, Florida.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an attempt to trace and find out the role of apostles and prophets in the Bible, and then share these in a practical way to help the church of today.

Among others, this book deals with the call of God, the constitution and functions of a prophet and of an apostle, Spiritual gifts, the difference between apostles and prophets, and how to test the manifestation of the Spirit.

Book excerpt: What beliefs are core to the Christian faith? This book is here to help you understand the reason for your hope as a Christian so that you can see it with fresh sight and invite others into the conversation. A lot of Christians take their story—the narratives that give rise to their beliefs—for granted. They pray, go to church, perhaps even read their Bible. But they might be stuck if a stranger asked them to explain what they believe and why they believe it. Author, pastor, and theologian Mike Horton unpacks the essential and basic beliefs that all Christians share in a way that is easy to understand and applicable to our lives today. And in a way that will make you excited to be a Christian! Core Christianity covers topics like: Jesus as both fully God and fully man. The doctrine of the Trinity. The goodness of God despite a broken world. The ways God speaks. The meaning of salvation. What is the Christian calling? Includes discussion questions for individual or group use. This introduction to the basic doctrines of Christianity is perfect for those who are new to the faith, as well as those who have an interest in deepening their understanding of what it means to be a follower of Jesus Christ.
