Discover Your Next Mission from God by Julie Onderko Pdf

"If you are what you should be, you will set the whole world on fire.” —St. Catherine of Siena God created each person for a specific purpose and with a specific mission. How do I find out what that mission is? Every saint in heaven once asked this question. Their path to discovering God’s will was often frustrating and tedious, but their reward for perseverance is eternity in heaven. In Discover Your Next Mission from God, author and retreat-leader Julie Onderko uncovers the lives of countless saints to show how they searched for — and ultimately discovered — God’s will for their lives. By reflecting on the decisions, circumstances, and ever-guiding love of God in the saints’ lives, you’ll come to a greater knowledge of how to see and live the plan He has for your life. You’ll learn how Maximillian Kolbe got God’s plan wrong before he got it right. You’ll read about St. Helena who persevered under the most challenging circumstances, including watching her son murder her grandson. You’ll discover how St. Andre Bessette found his calling to heal physical afflictions through devotion to St. Joseph. Time after time, Julie shows us, God doesn’t call the holy and qualified. Instead, he calls sinners like you and me, lifts them up to greatness, and sets them out to do His will. Read these pages, and you’ll be armed with saintly strategies and examples as you begin the greatest adventure of your life. God is calling you right now, and He stands ready to fill your soul with the grace needed to achieve His mission for you on earth.

Its story-centric approach is ideal for pastors, students, Sunday school teachers, and laypeople alike. Each volume employs three main, easy-to-use sections designed to help readers live out God's story: LISTEN to the Story: Includes complete NIV text with references to other texts at work in each passage, encouraging the reader to hear it within the Bible's grand story.

In Esther’s story, we recognize our own world today, often experiencing it as a place where God seems hidden. Her book challenges us in unique ways. Edited by Scot McKnight and Tremper Longman III, and written by a number of top-notch theologians, The Story of God Bible Commentary series will bring relevant, balanced, and clear-minded theological insight to any biblical education or ministry.

The Light After the Tunnel: Discovering Your True Purpose In Hard Times by Assimagbe Albert Raphael Pdf

"The Light After the Tunnel: Discovering Your True Purpose In Hard Times," is a profound and illuminating exploration of the human experience in the face of pain, tribulation, and difficult circumstances. In this thought-provoking book, the author delves into the depths of these challenging moments, offering invaluable insights and perspectives that lead readers toward a profound understanding of God's unwavering love and the transformative power of trials. Through the metaphor of a tunnel—a symbol of the arduous journey through perceived barriers and obstacles—the author guides readers on a transformative path of self-discovery, resilience, and spiritual growth. This metaphor encompasses the myriad difficulties that God's children encounter in a fallen world governed by the grasp of darkness. The tunnel represents the test of faith, an essential stage in every believer's journey towards fulfilling their divine purpose and manifesting God's promises in their lives. "The Light After the Tunnel" emphasizes the importance of preparation, endurance, and spiritual maturity in fulfilling one's purpose and avoiding disappointment. Drawing parallels to the rigorous testing process undergone by manufacturers to ensure the durability and authenticity of their products, the author illustrates how God allows trials, hardships, and pain to shape and refine individuals, preparing them for the responsibilities and blessings tied to His promises. While traversing the tunnel is an uncomfortable and challenging experience, the author highlights its significance as a pivotal time for believers to prove their spiritual citizenship in the kingdom of God. By showcasing the experiences of biblical champions and heroes of faith, as well as great ministers of the gospel, the book establishes the tunnel as a rite of passage for those seeking to do extraordinary work in their calling, whether in their careers, businesses, or ministries. The message of "The Light After the Tunnel" resounds with the assurance that challenging situations are not an indication of failure or abandonment by God, but rather a testament to one's capability to overcome them. Readers are encouraged to trust in God's unwavering faithfulness and His perfect understanding of the precise manner in which His promises will be fulfilled. Through scriptural wisdom and profound insights, the book reminds us that God's ways transcend human comprehension, and His thoughts surpass our own. In this inspiring and spiritually enriching book, readers will find solace, guidance, and encouragement to navigate life's storms with unwavering faith and hope. By embracing the tunnel experiences, readers will discover the transformative power within themselves, enabling them to emerge on the other side with newfound strength, character, and a deeper connection to God. "The Light After the Tunnel" is a beacon of light and wisdom, illuminating the path toward a brighter future filled with divine blessings and a deeper understanding of God's unconditional love. It is a must-read for those seeking resilience, spiritual growth, and the realization of their purpose amidst the challenges of life.

However; exist people in whose internal being is burning the will and the call of God for their lives; people to which God mades a call “Because God is the one that in yourselves produce the want or the will as the doing; for his good will.” (Phil 2:13). Is necessary to respond to God compromising with God to obey to his voice and then God would respond with the accomplishment of his voice; meanwhile of his word which is the will of God with the life of each believer “In what you would offer over my althar corrupted bread. And you said: ¿In what we had dishonored you? In thinking that the table of Jehovah is despreciable.” The time of assuming the service and the call from God is today; God is talking to you and is calling you the time is now. (Rom 13:11).

How satisfied are you with your life? Men like you are finding it tougher than ever to be content with what they have. They compare themselves with others and continually come up short.
