Encountering the Living God by Maryam Ziadat Pdf

N THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, THE HOLY SPIRIT IS INVITING US -- TO GO BEYOND THE KNOWN AND FAMILIAR TO THE UNKNOWN AND UNCHARTED. We can only achieve this as we press into His presence and enjoy intimacy with Him. ENCOUNTERING THE LIVING GOD has been written with a heart looking beyond to what only THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD can accomplish through a life fully surrendered to HIM. I am merely a Christian who pressed into the Lord, knowing only He could bring my highest dreams to come true. I said 'yes' to His invitation of love, and He blessed my life with His divine presence and gifting. He is our Heavenly Father, and He will do the same for you if you say 'yes' to Him and His plans for your life. I pray as you read this book, that the Lord touches your heart and mind, and blesses your spirit to soar beyond your wildest desires and dreams for his name's sake. You are unique in HIM. You have been bought with a high price and your life worth so much. 20" Now to Him Who, by (in consequence of) the [action of His] power that is at work within us, is able to [carry out His purpose and] do superabundantly, far over and above all that we [dare] ask or think [infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts, hopes, or dreams]-- 21 To Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations forever and ever. Amen (so be it)." Ephesians 3:20-21 (AMPC) Maryam's Ziadat passion through her teaching and prophetic writing is to see the Bride reaches her full potential in alignment with her Father as each season unfolds and to see the Church genuinely understand and enjoy the identity and freedom she has in the Lord Jesus.

ENCOUNTERS WITH THE LIVING GOD by Susan Stoppenbrink Pdf

Each chapter reveals riveting accounts of miraculous encounters with God. With each encounter, the living God uniquely and supernaturally responded to the cries of a woman who in desperate situations called out to the Savior who loved her. Susan experienced life being legally blind from birth, incurring numerous eye surgeries and suffered through a series of abuse-filled situations, many brought about by unwise choices. This later culminated in her suffering the disabling effects of multiple sclerosis. In her deep desire to know God and His healing grace, she cried out to Him for help. He answered her with many miraculous encounters. Through them, the Lord revealed to her His true character, her broken understanding and finally after much healing of her body, her emotions and her spiritual life, she received many rich insights that are woven through each chapter. The pages of this journey will bring hope to all who have suffered devastating illness and/or abuse at the hand of others. It is told from the perspective of one whose life reflects the healing and grace that expresses compassion, empathy, and hope to all who seek the love that heals.

The Joy of Encountering Jesus: by Hoan Moses Chung Pdf

The Joy of Encountering Jesus does not call simply for faith in Jesus, but spells out how and why we can believe in Jesus in this twenty-first century. Reflecting on human experiences recorded in the Bible, including those of Jesus of Nazareth, we search for who we really are. Finding our true selves is possible only by discovering the risen Jesus dwelling within us. Then the sun rises, the whole world dances with joy, and our hearts are filled with Gods grace; we are Living Gods Life in a New World. The Joy of Encountering Jesus provides 174 short homilies for three liturgical years that will lead you to: rely on the heart rather than the head, utilize non-dualistic thinking rather than dualistic, find God from within rather than from without, build Gods kingdom on earth, expand knowledge on Jewish apocalypse and eschatology, update theology of resurrection and the Eucharist.

Quest for the Living God by Elizabeth A. Johnson Pdf

'Since the middle of the twentieth century,' writes Elizabeth Johnson, 'there has been a renaissance of new insights into God in the Christian tradition. On different continents, under pressure from historical events and social conditions, people of faith have glimpsed the living God in fresh ways. It is not that a wholly different God is discovered from the One believed in by previous generations. Christian faith does not believe in a new God but, finding itself in new situations, seeks the presence of God there. Aspects long-forgotten are brought into new relationships with current events, and the depths of divine compassion are appreciated in ways not previously imagined.' This book sets out the fruit of these discoveries. The first chapter describes Johnson's point of departure and the rules of engagement, with each succeeding chapter distilling a discrete idea of God. Featured are transcendental, political, liberation, feminist, black, Hispanic, interreligious, and ecological theologies, ending with the particular Christian idea of the one God as Trinity.

Leaving Buddha by Tenzin Lahkpa,Eugene Bach Pdf

Where Does the Search for Truth Lead? When Tenzin Lahkpa is fifteen years old, his parents give him over to a local temple in Tibet as an offering. Unable to change his fate, he wholeheartedly embraces his life as a monk and begins a quest for full enlightenment through the teachings of Buddhism. From his local monastery to the famed Potala Palace in Lhasa, Tibet, he learns deep mysteries of Tibetan Buddhism. Yearning to study with the current Dalai Lama, he eventually escapes from China by means of an excruciating, two-thousand-mile, secret trek over the Himalayas—barefoot, with no extra gear, changes of clothing, or money. His dream is realized when he finally sits under the Dalai Lama himself. But his desire to go deeper only grows, leading him to unexpected conclusions…. Follow the fascinating, never-before-told, true story of what causes a highly dedicated Tibetan Buddhist monk to make the radical decision to walk away from the teachings of Buddha and leave his monastery to follow Jesus Christ. Discover the reasons other monks want him dead before he can share his story with others. Leaving Buddha dares to expose the mysterious world of Tibetan Buddhism, with its layered teachings, intricate practices—and troubling secrets. Ultimately, it tells a moving story about the search for truth, the path of enlightenment, and how no one is beyond the reach of a loving God. This gripping narrative will resonate with people from all backgrounds and nations.

Encountering the Living God by Dean Kimball,Virginia Kimball Pdf

This book makes it clear that a bible contains two fundamentally different types of material: writings inspired by God and "study stuff." Unlike most books, Encountering the Living God begins by presenting a discussion of divine inspiration and explaining the concept of biblical canon. The geographic and historical backgrounds are then described. The various literary forms of the canonical writings are investigated and it is concluded that if taken as a collection they constitute an anthology composed over centuries by many people. While this book is not strictly a text book, it has been used as such for many years in college level courses. While not strictly a self-study book, it also can be used with great benefit in bible study groups. This book is really a guide book intended to be used to accompany readers through the inspired writings of a bible - first through the Old Testament and then through the New Testament. The final chapter emphasizes that the prayerful reader of the inspired writings in a bible truly experiences a personal encounter with the Living God who inspired the writings.

Called to Holiness by Ralph Martin Pdf

Called to Holiness, What it Means to Encounter the Living God. by Ralph Martin In Called to Holiness, Ralph Martin challenges us to know God more profoundly by experiencing His holy presence at work in our daily life. Holiness, he points out, is nothing extraordinary. It is the spiritual birthright of every Christian. But the foundation for our personal holiness must be a vibrant, life changing relationship with God Himself. Called to Holiness offers inspiration and practical help for Christians who desire to grow in holiness. Drawing upon Scripture, Ralph Martin describes how we are designed to be holy. He shows us how we can become holy by surrendering our lives to God, even in the midst of suffering. Ralph C. Martin is a well-known Christian evangelist and leader in church renewal with a nationwide television program called The Choices We Face. His books include The Catholic Church at the End of an Age and Is Jesus Coming Soon? "In the conflicts of the present, active Christians are those, paradoxically, most in danger of forgetting what Christianity is all about. Ralph Martin's Called to Holiness is a powerful statement on the heart of being a Christian."- James HitchcockProfessor of History at St. Louis University" Ralph Martin's Called to Holiness will help many to be realistic in their relationship to the Lord and more enthusiastic in trusting and obeying him."- Fr. Francis Martin, O.P.Professor of New Testament at the Dominican House of Studies, Washington, DC
