Book Description
I often wonder how Exodus 3:14 and Matthew 6:10 have become so misunderstood. Everyone talks about how much better Heaven is going to be, and how their pains and sorrows will be no more once they die. Yet, we live in Heaven or Hell every day on Earth by our thoughts and by our daily choices. Heaven and Hell are states of consciousness. We are meant to live in Heaven on Earth! Jesus and other great teachers demonstrated this by setting the example and left their wisdom in written books. We have much to learn from every flower, every tree, every season, and every animal. They know exactly what to do without being told, and God/Universe sends them everything they need to survive. When we are aligned with Source, we, too, become magnets attracting everything we need. This means that we don't have to make things happen on our own understanding. Everything flows easily and naturally to the soul when aligned. Abundance, ideal relationships, all of your hearts desires are achieved without effort. And this was my hardest, yet most enriching lesson to learn-to surrender with grace to the forces that hold me, and will continue to hold me in ways I've never dreamt possible!!! There were many times I have questioned myself, and wondered, What in the world am I doing? I felt like I was Noah building the Ark. What I know now is that I am an Ark builder! There was something inside of me telling me that if I kept strong in my faith, trusted and listened to that little nudging voice, then I would live a life beyond my wildest dreams. I knew deep down that this was bigger than me; it is my soul calling. I know I am being directed by a force far greater than myself, and I cannot erase these pictures that I hold in my imagination. I feel with divine love and happiness in my heart what this book will bring to millions of people. This feeling is imprinted upon my subconscious mind, and my subconscious mind creates exactly what I have come to believe and feel. I give thanks every day that this book will bring Heaven On Earth to the world. I have no idea how, but I surrender and trust in a power far greater than myself. I feel deep feelings of gratitude in advance for the magical outcome. The Secret teaches us that, "everything that has ever been invented or created throughout the history of humankind began with one thought. From one thought, a way was made, and it manifested from the invisible into the visible." When Henry Ford was bringing his vision of the motor vehicle into our world, people around him ridiculed him, and thought he had gone mad to pursue such a "wild" vision. He, however, knew much more than the people who ridiculed him. He knew The Secret, and he knew the law of the Universe. Ford has also been quoted saying, "Whether you think you can or think you can't, either way you are right." I choose to think that I can.

Book Description
The future hope of heaven is pulled into the here-and-now in this illuminating description of the kingdom of God. Popular teacher and author R. Alan Streett exposes half-truths about the kingdom that many believers have unwittingly accepted. He contrasts these with the testimony of Scripture: Jesus inaugurated the kingdom of God on the earth—it has already begun. As ambassadors of the kingdom, we are to fulfill our responsibilities and enjoy its benefits here and now. Salvation does not culminate with the soul escaping the body and living forever in heaven. Our bodies will eventually be transformed, and we will live with God on a restored earth. The church is like an embassy of heaven in a foreign country. In their life together, believers demonstrate kingdom realities to the world. Readers will find hope and direction in this fresh presentation of the historic teaching on the kingdom.

Redeeming Productivity
Author: Reagan Rose
Publisher: Moody Publishers
ISBN: 0802474632
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 134
Book Description
Feeling overwhelmed and unproductive? The answer isn’t to do more. What image forms in your mind when you think of productivity? An assembly line? Spreadsheets? Business suits or workplace uniforms? In the ancient world, productivity didn't conjure images like these. Instead, it referred to crop yield and fruit bearing. This agrarian imagery helps us understand productivity through a biblical lens. Jesus taught, By this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit (John 15:8). Who doesn’t want to have a truly productive life—to bear much fruit? But how does this happen in the places we hold dear—the home, workplace, and in our communities? We often feel overworked and overrun, defeated and discouraged. The world says be productive so that you can get all you can out of this life. The Bible says be productive so you can gain more of the next life. In Redeeming Productivity, author Reagan Rose explores how God’s glory is the purpose for which He planted us. And he shows how productivity must be firmly rooted in the gospel. Only through our connection to Christ—the True Vine—are we empowered to produce good fruit. This book shows how we can maintain the vitality of that connection through simple, life-giving disciplines. Readers will discover manageable applications like giving God the first fruits of our days. Additionally, Reagan discusses how our perspective on suffering is transformed as we see trials as God’s pruning for greater productivity.

Book Description
You Can Help Bring Heaven to Earth God so loved the world, and he still does. He values his creation too much to destroy it. If you know where to look, you can see that the coming of a new heaven and a new earth already has begun. Life on earth is renewed every time you live out Jesus’s prayer that God’s ways will be followed on earth. The work of God’s Kingdom involves restoring what has been broken.

This is how heaven collides with earth—not following fiery destruction but in the power of restoring to life everything that God created. What you believe about God’s plan for humanity and for his creation determines how you will invest your life. God calls all of us to this renewing work. You can help bring heaven to earth, starting today.

Mercy for Today
Author: Jonathan Parnell
Publisher: B&H Publishing Group
ISBN: 1535959266
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 84
Book Description
You cannot make it without God’s mercy. Do we just need God’s grace in dark and shameful moments? Are prayers for mercy only for those times when we really mess up? Jonathan Parnell says we need God’s mercy all the time. In fact, contrary to many church cultures, Parnell shows that asking God for mercy should be as regular as asking God for our daily bread. There’s no doubt that David was in a terrible predicament when he first prayed the words of Psalm 51. It was a dark and shameful moment in the Bible, and one so dark and shameful it seldom feels relevant to us today. But David’s most desperate prayer is really a prayer for all of us—and not just for our worst moments, but for our every moment. In these pages, you'll discover: how to pray a daily, memorable prayer derived from Psalm 51 how to practice daily repentance and soul care how to pursue God and experience his joy in the Christian life This is God’s mercy, and it’s Mercy for Today.

Heaven on Earth

Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 355
Book Description
6 lectures and an essay, 1919-1920 (CW 297) World War I destroyed the structures, values, and self-confidence that created the seeming greatness of the nineteenth century. In its place stood ruins and the shards of a civilization. In response to this, Emil Molt--the director of the Waldorf-Astoria Cigarette Factory and a student of Rudolf Steiner--decided to establish a school to educate people who could create a new culture. Thus, the Waldorf school movement was begun. Rudolf Steiner agreed to act as the school's consultant, and his insights guided the school in accomplishing this ambitious task. The goal of this education was that, through living inner work guided by the insights of Rudolf Steiner, the teachers would develop in the children such power of thought, depth of feeling, and strength of will that they would emerge from their school years as full members of the human community, able to meet and transform the world. These lectures occurred around the opening of the first Waldorf school. They serve as an excellent, inspiring introduction to Waldorf education as a whole. Here Steiner outlines--with freshness, immediacy, and excitement--the goals and intentions of a new form of education and speaks to parents of prospective students. He explains the school's guiding principles and describes how parents must participate, with understanding and interest, in the awakening of their children's creative forces so that a healthier society can come about. German sources: Die Waldorfschule und ihr Geist (GA 297); "Die pädagogische Zielsetzung der Waldorfschule in Stuttgart," from Soziale Zukunft, Feb. 1920 (GA 24).

THE DAYS OF HEAVEN The days of heaven are peaceful days, Still as yon glassy sea; So calm, so still in God, our days, As the days of heaven would be. The days of heaven are holy days, From sin forever free Two little words are found in the Greek version here. They are translated "_ton kairon_" in the revised version, "Buying up for yourselves the opportunity." The two words _ton kairon_ mean, literally, the opportunity. They do not refer to time in general, but to a special point of time, a juncture, a crisis, a moment full of possibilities and quickly passing by, which we must seize and make the best of before it has passed away.
