Book Description
There are great things which we can learn from Apostle Paul's life and ministry. And he said, "Imitate me, just as I also imitate Christ" (1 Cor. 11:1). This is to say that Christ Jesus is our Perfect Example. Therefore, if you are looking up to someone, and you failed, disobeyed, or backslid because the person failed, disobeyed, or backslid, then you have no excuse, because our Perfect Example, Whom the Word tells us to look unto, never failed nor disobeyed. Yet, Apostle Paul's conversion, zeal for God, passion for the Gospel, commitment to the ministry, suffering for Christ, despising of his life, and other things, will really challenge and encourage us.

You Are Enough
Author: Danielle Bean
Publisher: Ascension Press
ISBN: 1945179481
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 126
Book Description
Every one of us is made in the image of God. We are unique, we are worthy of love, and we are called to greatness. In this world, though, it can be easy to be distracted from that truth and begin to doubt God's love is real. We live in a world that tells us we are not smart enough, not pretty enough, not sexy enough, not rich enough, not thin enough, and don t have enough friends. It's easy to focus on the ways we fall short of worldly perfection and to forget that we are already made perfect. We are already enough. God has made each of us for a unique purpose, and he calls each of us to know him in unique ways. In a world where everything feels fleeting and temporary, we are made for everlasting life; we are meant to experience God's abiding love. You Are Enough uses the timeless tales of the Bible to clarify that truth for modern women. ● See how God's love for each of us shines forth through the stories of the women of the Old Testament. ● Connect with the hopes, dreams, struggles, and experiences of these remarkable women. ● Learn how the lives of these women contain valuable lessons for our lives today. ● Find hope and encouragement as you discover that you are enough, you are accepted for who you are as a beloved daughter of God.

Fasting for Fire
Author: Jennifer A. Miskov
Publisher: Destiny Image Incorporated
ISBN: 9780768459494
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 160
Book Description
Fasting is about feasting on more of God! When many hear the word "fasting," they immediately think of what they have to give up. But what if fasting is actually a sacred doorway into fresh encounters with the all-consuming fire of God? Author and revival historian, Jennifer Miskov, has tapped into an ancient pathway to divine encounter. She has given her life to studying how the greater pioneers of revival experienced dynamic moves of the Holy Spirit, both in their personal lives and in the corporate church. One of the key common denominators has been fasting. Historically, fasting was never a formula for holiness or a means to manipulate God. In fact, in revival history, "the fasting ones" were actually "the feasting ones"--those who single-mindedly aligned themselves with what heaven wanted to release into earth. In Fasting for Fire, you will discover and experience: Deeper levels of union and connection with Jesus Greater flow of revelation from the Holy Spirit Extraordinary miracles, signs and wonders, supernatural power Increased hunger for God The supernatural benefits of fasting The dimensions of fire fasting Testimonies of revivalists like John Wesley, Smith Wigglesworth, and William J. Seymour who experienced significant God-encounters through fasting Featuring easy to follow fasting exercises, Scripture meditations, reflection questions, activations, and special chapters by Randy Clark and Lou Engle, Fasting for Fire will stir you to pursue the presence of God with more passion and zeal than ever before!
