The Pursuit of the Holy by Simon Ponsonby Pdf

“Be holy as I am holy,” says the Lord. It’s the most extravagant—and audacious—invitation ever sent: Or in the words of Jesus: “Be perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect.” But can that really happen? Is holiness an achievable goal for sinful human beings? That’s the ultimate focus of this thoughtful, thorough, and engaging study of what it means to be holy. Drawing on the Bible and Christian thinkers through the ages, Simon Ponsonby affirms that because of God’s gracious love and desire for communion with us, he has done what is possible for us not only to pursue holiness, but to achieve it. While we can never count on attaining moral perfection in this life, we need not settle for less than increasing victory over sin. And as more and more Christians choose to partner with God in the ongoing process of sanctification, we set the stage for revival.

Prayer: A Divine Invitation by Pastor Curtis T. Hall Pdf

A Divine Invitation is about having an intimate relationship with God. We get to know who God is and what God has done for us. Knowing who God is helps us in our prayer life, where we can communicate with God freely and openly. Prayer is important to our spiritual lives just as breathing is important to our existence. It is the same way with prayer. If we refuse or stop, our spiritual life will cease to exist! It is just that simple! Plus, Jesus is our example when it comes to prayer. His life was saturated with prayer. He prayed at every juncture of His life. Prayer is an invitation that Christ gives to each of us so that we can come into His presence. We do not need the help of anyone else to approach the God of the universe. He’s there waiting on us to come to Him in prayer. Prayer lets us know that we have Someone who listens to our supplications and answers them according to His will! Prayer is personal and intentional. Prayer allows us to feel the love that Jesus has for us. It draws us into His presence where we can find peace, joy, and contentment.

A Divine Invitation to Create a New World by Reynaldo Pareja Pdf

Television, radio, newspapers or the internet show a daily dismal world scenario. Every week, every month there is a major civil conflict or a terrorist attack somewhere. All over the world innocent are imprisoned, women are victims of domestic violence, are forced into underpaid labor or sex work. Children are still dying by the millions before they are five years old due to unsanitary conditions, lack of safe drinking water or malnourishment. Malaria and HIV-AIDS kill millions yearly and thousands of adolescents are kidnapped to become rebel soldiers. Autocratic governments deny democratic participation to the majority and suppress ferociously any popular peaceful manifestation. The worlds climate is now threatened due to man-made disequilibrium inflicted on the atmosphere by uncontrolled fumes and gas emissions of all types. Water sources are being poisoned by unscrupulous corporations dumping huge amounts of deadly chemicals into waterways. The inequality between rich and poor nations is so vast that 7 - 10% of the worlds population controls the natural and financial resources of the world at the expense of the rest who have no access to a minimum for survival. The reasons for this hellish situation are multiple and varied. They encompass deeply ingrained religious beliefs, unacceptable economic, military and power disparities, and uncontrolled moral degradation affecting all realms of everyday life. These problems have profound spiritual causes and thus require a spiritual perspective. Discover the origin of the new Divine Invitation and the specific solutions it offers for todays major world problems.

Your Divine Invitation by Frankie Mazzapica Pdf

After years of discontent, feeling a lack of the Holy Spirit’s power and believing for healings and miracles, Frankie Mazzapica was fighting insomnia one night when he decided to look for a book that would put him to sleep. He downloaded Power from God by Charles Finney for his e-book reader. However, rather than sleeping, he stayed up and kept reading until he finished the book early the next morning. Frankie says Finney’s book made him realize that “power from on high” is something that God wants for every believer. He decided to write Your Divine Invitation: Access the Holy Spirit to Complete Your Assignment to help Christians everywhere discover that power. “The belief that only a small few are selected to receive supernatural power is a fallacy. God knows that before we have anything to offer, we must have His power,” Frankie says. “We have the same assignment the disciples did. If they needed power then, we need power now.” Frankie’s mission statement is, “I live to walk with the Lord and share His love and His power.” His conviction is that Jesus’ three-year ministry, where teaching and miracles attracted seekers and built disciples, is the model for today’s church. Believers should not rest until the same power displayed in the life of the Lord’s disciples is present in their lives. Your Divine Invitation includes practical steps every believer can take to position themselves to receive God’s promised endowment of power.

The Divine Invitation by Terri Sullivant Pdf

Are you ready to enter the dance of becoming fully alive? Have you ever wondered, if we have the God of heaven and earth living inside us, why aren’t we experiencing more in life? Why aren’t we seeing more transformation in ourselves, or in others for that matter? What does it look like to have “Jesus in me” anyway, as an individual and also as a woman? These are the questions life coach and pastor Terri Sullivant was asking herself when God answered her in a profound, life-changing way. The Divine Invitation provides a pathway to find what your heart deeply longs for in every area of life. It’s a metaphor showing the way for every woman to enter the dance of becoming fully alive. Learning this dance is about developing a relationship with Jesus, like two people dancing skillfully and gracefully. It’s about becoming so entwined with the thoughts, words, emotions, and behaviors of Jesus that the two of you are one. You find that this deep connection transcends all of life, enabling you to live joyfully and freely, come what may.

Invitations from God by Adele Ahlberg Calhoun Pdf

Some invitations we desperately want: "Will you marry me?" "Would you consider a promotion?" Other invitations we never want to receive but must respond to all the same: "What treatment do you want for your tumor?" Invitations pound away at the coastlines of the soul with a transforming force. God is also sending invitations. Sometimes they seem less compelling than anything on my to-do list. Why would I want to say yes to the invitation to rest when I'm already so far behind? Why follow when I could lead? Why accept invitations to weep or to admit I am wrong or to wait? Saying yes might slow me down, sabotage my agenda and even undo who I think I am. Adele Calhoun, author of the popular Spiritual Disciplines Handbook, offers a book about invitations like these—divine invitations we miss or ignore because we've said yes to going with the cultural flow. While these invitations from God can sometimes be difficult to accept, they can heal and restore even as they shape where we go, what we do and who we become. What we say yes to, what we say no to forms the terrain of our future. Included in this book are reflection questions and exercises as well as overview charts with recommended disciplines to guide you through each theme. As you attend to the often hidden, quiet voice of the Great Inviter, you will find yourself as God created you to be.

God's Divine Invitation by Sunny Jernigan Wessel Pdf

Have you ever received a beautifully engraved invitation that caused your heart to leap with excitement as you opened it? Those delicately inscribed cards are calling us to attend a particular occasion or share in the joyful celebration of others. Every day, God Himself extends an invitation for us to experience a new opportunity or to take another step in our walk of faith through His divine grace. And we are given the choice to respond simply by saying "Yes" or "No" to His requests. God's Special Invitation is about preparing your heart for the Lord so that you are filled with and led by His Spirit alone. Gleaned from a lifetime of journaling, praying, and teaching God's Word, author Sunny Jernigan Wessel has compiled an extraordinary collection of heart-note inspirations. These devotions will train you to develop an ear for what the Spirit is saying and discover the joy of hearing your life's message from the Lord. Are you looking to invigorate your current relationship with God as you seek a closer walk with Him? Then, you must R.S.V.P. with a definitive "Yes" to the self-reflection and revelation to be gained through these meditations. This book is the first in a four-volume series addressing the four core values of influence over our walk of faith. Volume One focuses on intimacy with God. Volume Two discusses living in the favor and fear of the Lord. Volume Three addresses Christian virtues, and finally, Volume Four considers the authority and justice of God. Each book is arranged in a format that provides space to record personal notes and insight.
