Word Up

Languages : en
Pages : 563
Book Description
Word Up displays the realities in life, depicting the signs of the times through headline events as well as what happens in the home, on the job, or in social gatherings. Life can be a struggle. There are pros and cons in the ways that we deal with what is happening around us and, most importantly, what happens inside of us. Consider the following questions: Are we appropriately handling the challenges that can adversely impact our lives? How can we ensure that we are leaning and depending on something that is greater than ourselves - our connection with God? How can we build our relationship with God to ensure that we are on the right track and have ceased playing guessing games with important areas of our life? Word Up forces you to think with clarity and then gives you an opportunity to do something about your reaction to the bare facts. Word Up helps you to face head-on to the reality of a situation; it does not allow you to be timid, gloss over it, or just do nothing. Rather, Word Up gives you a choice: do nothing and watch things get worse or do something and bring about the change you want and deserve. Learn how to deal with situations rather than just quoting the Bible as though knowing and doing are the same. Real change in your life requires faith, and faith without action is null and void. Word Up requires action. If you really want transformative change in your life, read a topic that describes your situation. Begin to identify the deep change that is irreversible in nature, a change that you have only hoped for, but have not achieved. There is healing in Word Up as you read the Word of God that is so deeply embedded in real change. Allow God to work with you as you read this life changing analogy.

Languages : en
Pages : 40
Book Description
Made for Him (God Uniquely Made Me for My Husband) is the fifth and final book of the behind-the-scene book series. Sequel to the "real Antonette come forth" book series, Made for Him is about God making and molding me for one special man—how he built me out of the rib he took from my husband. God, my father Jehovah, made me with his hands. He gave me the hips, lips, brains, and butt that my husband would love. When he sees me, his response will be wow. That's why we are called women. That's a joke I like to think Adam was amazed when he awoke and saw Eve. All he could say was wow. I am a firm believer that men are captured by what they see first. First, their eyes then their heart follows. But God equipped me to be a helpmeet to one man in particular, not two or three. I was made to help my husband, my king fulfill his destiny—our destiny. I am loaded with skill, talent, ability, thought, plan, and strategy to come alongside and help my husband. The lie has been told for years that behind every good man is a good woman. I tend to think beside every great man is a great woman. God took us from his side, not his back; God placed us to walk at his left side, not in front of him. We are to our husband what the Holy Spirit is to us—sent to help alongside us. That's his function, to come alongside us to help us, never to take over, but to assist, to aide, and to share in the work. So sit back and enjoy how I was designed to help my king. By the time this book releases, he would have found me, because now I can honestly say I am ready to be joined to my king, my pillar, my husband. You are a treasure. Something found on the surface is not worth much. It has very little value because it was easy to find. You have to dig deep to find gold. To find a treasure, gold is a treasure. You have to do a ton of research, a ton of work, a ton of labor just to find the right place, the right area of the gold to even begin to dig. You have to put in a lot of supplications to the Lord, a lot of laboring in prayer with the Lord, a lot of questions with the Lord, a lot of time in the face of the Lord. You are a treasure to me; you are gold to me. God has prepared you for me. God has made you for me. I said, "God you made this woman just for me?" He said, "Yes. you are my gold." Gold when found has to be processed—it has to be refined. The process of refining is hot. Refining is the most critical time. You are gold. God had to process you. God was refining you just for me. Thank you for not turning back. You stayed focus and still focus. You had to be tried with fire to be proven. God has to prove you before he can use you. God has made you a channel of blessings to many generations. Revelations to revelations, glory to glory, faith to faith. Thank God, I found you my queen, my woman, my treasure. I was captivated the first time I saw your picture, and when I read your words, my heart was arrested and I was consumed by the love of God in your eyes and Jesus in your smile. I said, "My God, this is her—my queen." I have found you. You are my last bus stop! —Oluwagbemiga David Olusola—my king, my love, my friend, my pillar, my husband. Lagos, Nigeria

Anna, the Voice of the Magdalenes
Author: Claire Heartsong
Publisher: Hay House, Inc
ISBN: 1781809097
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 401
Book Description
In this channelled sequel to the international bestseller Anna, Grandmother of Jesus, we journey with Anna, the Holy Family and 18 other Magdalene–Essenes as they travel to France and Britain after Jesus’s crucifixion and resurrection. This book gives a completely new perspective on the gnostic Mount Carmel Essene mystery school, in which Jesus and Mary Magdalene took initiations, as well as on the Holy Family and the Magdalene Order. Through Claire Heartsong, Anna tells not only the story of Jesus, but also the story of the women who surrounded him throughout his life. The book reveals the deeper mysteries they have safeguarded for aeons of time, including aspects of Jesus’s personal life not recorded in history – his relationships and, most radically, his offspring.In this one-of-a-kind story, Claire shares the information she received from Anna on the ‘Seeding of Light’ – the dispersion of Anna, Mother Mary and Jesus’s enlightened descendants whose ‘bloodline’ acts as a living catalyst for the awakening of the Christ–Magdalene potential today. Not only does this book give a new view of the Christ drama 2,000 years ago but, more importantly, it offers the potential to lift the suppressed Divine Feminine voice in our time.

Christ the Lord: The Road to Cana
Author: Anne Rice
Publisher: Vintage Canada
ISBN: 0307373908
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 280
Book Description
The Road to Cana, Anne Rice’s second book in her hugely ambitious life of Christ, begins before his baptism in the Jordan and concludes with the miracle at Cana. It is a novel in which we see Jesus, the man, living quietly in Nazareth as he has for many years. He is still known as Yeshua Bar Joseph. And he is enduring a winter of no rain, endless dust and looming trouble in Judea. Legends of a virgin birth have long surrounded Yeshua, yet for decades he has lived no differently than the others who come to the synagogue on the Sabbath. All who know and love him find themselves waiting for some sign of the path he will eventually take. And at last we see this quiet man emerge from his baptism to confront his destiny–and the Devil. We see what occurs when he takes the water of seven great limestone jars and transforms it into cool red wine; when he is recognized as the anointed one; when he is urged to call all Israel to take up arms against Rome and follow him as the prophets have foretold. Like Out of Egypt, the first novel in Anne Rice’s series on the life of Christ, The Road to Cana is based on the gospels and on the most respected New Testament scholarship. The book’s power comes from the profound feeling its author brings to the writing and the subtlety with which she summons up the presence of Jesus.

The Dateless Past to the End of Time
Author: Carolyn King
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 1491858354
Category : Drama
Languages : en
Pages : 505
Book Description
Dateless Past Lucifer’s great beauty was admired by the angels, yet there was no rancor found in any of them. Every musical instrument known and unknown today, had been built into his tabrets (vocal cords, or pipes). Lucifer was the, “Cherub That Covered”, or overseer and protector of the praise and worship on the original Earth. He was absolutely dazzling. Lucifer would also join in with his fellow angels, at certain times, to usher in Heaven’s worship. Music, also called the “Universal Language”, was then and still is today, Lucifer’s primary agent. To The End Of Time During the next six hours, the devil, through Noitanimoba’s clone, had thoroughly convinced Marvin, Vincent, and Jeremy, that his way would be the only way to end the global chaos. Elise quietly listened while Amy hadn’t been convinced at all. Something about Noitanimoba and his remedy hadn’t felt right, especially now.

Pages : 298
Book Description
Four men of the Knights Templar gather in secret at Avignon in 1314. The leader, Jacques De Molay, knows he faces certain death when he is denounced by Louis IV and seeks to guard the secrets of the Knights Templar. They agree that Guy Du Busson should flee to Scotland, carrying with him the heir to the Jesus blood line; Charles De Chevalier should carry the Holy Grail to Newfoundland; and Francois Marriott should seek protection in Switzerland. Guy Du Busson finds a new life in Scotland and, using his skills as a soldier, fights the English at Bannockburn with Robert the Bruce. Charles de Chevalier finds Newfoundland, hides the Holy Grail in a complex and booby-trapped shaft over which they hold guard, and joins the Beothucks Indian tribe. Francois Marriott seeks shelter in Switzerland and founds the first bank; he also helps Leopold defeat the Hapsburgs and converts to the Jewish faith. The three men and their followers form The Sect, a secret organization that protects the true origins of Christianity. Seven hundred years later, a young girl named Mary is ritually raped and disappears. The wife and daughter of police sergeant Sam Brooker are killed, and Sam seeks the help of his past commander in the Special Air Services, David York. As Sam and David try to unravel the secrets of The Sect, they discover they are being hunted by The Sect's assassin, Crusader-a deadly killer. David seeks help from his father, John McCallister, a professor of theology, and his ex bosses from MI6. He discovers that another organization, called The Cult, is also seeking their death. Vivian Goldsmith, the daughter of the financier Roland Goldsmith, becomes involved with David, and he finds his emotions tested like never before as the circumstances throw the pair together in an epic adventure.
