God and Other Spirits by Phillip H. Wiebe Pdf

Many people believe in angels and evil spirits, and popular culture abounds in talk about encounters with such entities. Yet the question of the existence of such spirits is ignored in the academy. Even the Christian Church, which one might expect to show keen interest in transcendent realities, does not appear to be paying much attention. In this book Phillip Wiebe defends the plausibility of the traditional Christian claim that spirits are real. Wiebe examines descriptions of encounters with both good and evil transcendent beings in biblical times and in later Christian history, along with recent accounts of similar experiences. He argues that invisible beings can be postulated to explain events just as unobservable objects are postulated in many scientific theories. Beyond supporting claims for the existence of lesser spirits such as demons and angels, this empirical approach yields important results for assessing common arguments surrounding the existence of God - a question that has become artificially separated from the question of spirits as such. Grounding his argument in a wide range of phenomena - from near death experiences to demonic possession - Wiebe offers a sophisticated case for belief in God on philosophical and epistemological grounds.

Spirit, Soul, and Body by Andrew Wommack Pdf

Have you ever asked yourself what changed when you were "born again?" You look in the mirror and see the same reflection - your body hasn't changed. You find yourself acting the same and yielding to those same old temptations - that didn't seem to change either. So you wonder, Has anything really changed? The correct answer to that question is foundational for receiving from God. If you lack this basic understanding, you'll forever ask yourself doubt-filled questions like: "How could God love somebody like me?" and "How can I possibly expect to receive anything from the Lord? I don't deserve it, I'm not good enough!" Spirit, Soul, and Body will help you eliminate those and other doubt-filled questions that destroy your faith. If you have trouble receiving from God, this is a must-read!

The Holy Spirit and Other Spirits by Daniel Otis Teasley Pdf

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1904 edition. Excerpt: ... office work of the holy spirit. conviction. The first work wrought in the heart by the Holy Spirit is conviction. "And when he the Holy Spirit is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment." John 16:8. True Bible conviction is a blessing to any one. While for the present it seems far from joyous, yet if given heed to, afterwards it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness. Who has not felt the gentle reproof of the Holy Spirit knocking at the heart's door and pointing to the better way? So long as man is iu the reach of the Holy Spirit, he will ever be reproved for the slightest wrong: but if the re.proof is not heeded, each call will grow fainter. How very careful we should be when reproved by the Spirit, for without his gentle wooing man could never find God. The Spirit does not always operate upon the heart independent of means. "Afflictions, though severe they seem, Are oft in mercy sent: They stopped the prodigal's career And caused him to repent." David said, "Before I was afflicted I went astray: but now have I kept thy word." Psa. 119: 67. While it is far from the right way to neglect God until afflictions overtake us, yet there are many who never think of God in health, who when affliction cometh will call on him for help. It is true, however, that a great many who seek God in trouble, forsake him in prosperity. The surest and best way is to seek God while in the bloom of health, -under the direct conviction of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit often convicts people through the healing of the sick, as was the case at Lydda and Saron. "And it came to pass, as Peter passed throughout all quarters, he came down also to the saints which dwelt at Lydda. And there he found a certain man named Eneas, ...

The Holy Spirit and Other Spirits (Classic Reprint) by Daniel Otis Teasley Pdf

Excerpt from The Holy Spirit and Other Spirits When Elijah was fleeing for his life from the face of Jezebel, who threatened his destruc tion for havmg killed the priests of Baal, he sat down under a juniper tree and requested for himself that he might die (1 Kings 19: 4) but God was not done with him And as he lay and slept under a juniper tree, behold, then an angel touched him, and said unto him, Arise and eat. And he looked, and behold, there was a cake baken on the coals, and a cruise of water at his head. And he did eat and drink, and laid him down again. And the angel of the Lord came again the second time, and touched him, and said, Arise and eat; because the journey is too great for thee. And he arose, and did eat and drink, and went in the strength of that meat forty days and forty nights unto Horeb the mount of God. 1 Kings 19: 5-8. When the host sent by the king of Syria sur rounded the city where Elisha and his servant lodged, intending to do them harm, the young man, his servant, was greatly alarmed: but Elisha assured him that there were many more with them than with the king of Syria. And after praying the Lord to open the eyes of his servant he saw and behold the mountain was16 m holy spirit m1) other spirits.

The Spirit World by Clarence Larkin Pdf

In this day of the revival of "Spiritism," when so many... are longing to communicate with the dead, and are resorting to forbidden means to that end; a day in which science is trying to discover whether there is another world than this, and whether men live after death... it seems timely that a book should be written to show what the Holy Scriptures have revealed of the "World of Spirits." -from The Second Coming of Christ. The Reverend Clarence Larkin was one of the most widely influential pop theologians of the early twentieth century, and his works remain intriguing explorations of Christian philosophy today. First published in 1921, this fascinating book explores the depiction of angels, demons, and other spirits in the Bible, and features illustrations of "Satan's Throne," "Angels Appearing to Abraham," "Christ Casting Out a Demon," "The Witch of Endor," and more. Readers in religion, mythology, and classic literature will be riveted. Also available from Cosimo Classics: Larkin's The Second Coming of Christ, Rightly Dividing the Word, and The Book of Revelation.

Sacred Pace by Terry Looper,Kris Bearss Pdf

How do we hear from God and discern His will when it’s time to make big decisions? Terry Looper shares a four-step process for doing just that - a process he has learned and refined over thirty years as a Christian entrepreneur and founder of a multi-billion dollar company. At just thirty-six years old, Terry Looper was a successful Christian businessman who thought he had it all—until managing all he had led to a devastating burnout. Wealthy beyond his wildest dreams but miserable beyond belief, Terry experienced a radical transformation when he discovered how to align himself with God’s will in the years following his crash and burn. Sacred Pace is a four-step process that helps Christians in all walks of life learn how to slow down their decision-making under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, sift through their surface desires and sinful patterns in order to receive clear, peace-filled answers from the Lord, gain the confident assurance that God’s answers are His way of fulfilling the true desires he has placed in their hearts, and grow closer to the One who loves them most and knows them best. Sacred Pace is not another example of name-it-and-claim-it materialism in disguise. Instead, it walks Christians through the sometimes-painful process of “dying to self” in their decisions, both big and small, so that they desire God’s will more than their own.

We Live and Cohabitate with Spirit Beings by Donald Evans Pdf

We cohabitate with another race of beings, a people which the world won’t acknowledge. These are demons which are invisible spirit beings not made of flesh and blood which the movie industry portrays as monsters. These spirit persons or demons are the highest intelligent beings far more intelligent than any earthly being with all human characteristics. They were once angelic sons of Jehovah God. They consisted of one-third of the angelic sons. They conspired against their Creator God, along with their leader Lucifer, who was once an angelic son of God, a cherub of high ranking. They all were expelled and casted out of heaven down to earth. They became enemies of God and the human race. They became an invisible race of beings—demons or spirit persons but without bodies! The once angelic sons of God and Lucifer became demons. Lucifer was the first to make himself a demon and then became Satan, the devil, the chief of demons who now walk the earth transitioning as a real human being yet spirit cohabitating with the human race as a real person. The demons, the other beings, are also cohabitating as spirit persons just as you and I are spirit beings with bodies. However, thy are without bodies, not of flesh and blood. Demons are those wicked, evil spirit persons that exist throughout the world as demon spirits! Satan is the only demon who possesses transitional power to transition to a visible spirit person just as you and me, and transition back to spirit. This I’ve witnessed. The other one-third wicked spirit persons do not possess such power; however, demons possess superhuman strength and the highest intelligence of any human being. Yet these spirit persons or demons remain invisible to human eyes on earth. They are here to steal, kill, and destroy human lives by any means. Therefore, the entire world needs to know how to defend itself against a demonic attack, an attack which can’t be seen but feel and see the effect of. Persons by the multitudes are under attack by demonic powers and influences without any knowledge of what’s going on or any knowledge of what they are up against in the spiritual world. Many do not know or recognize whether it’s mentally or physically. Either one is as serious as the other. Also, multitudes aren’t aware of a spirit world! The world, the entire world, needs to know, to be educated of demonology. Children of God, the world, it can’t be stressed strong enough, the entire world, it’s imperative to be spiritually educated of demonology. It is essential and imperative that all humans are made aware that they live and cohabitate amongst evil, wicked spirit persons, the invisible enemies that are here to hurt or harm all of mankind. Age and gender are no exceptions!

Avenue of Spies by Alex Kershaw Pdf

The best-selling author of The Liberator brings to life the incredible true story of an American doctor in Paris, and his heroic espionage efforts during World War II. The leafy Avenue Foch, one of the most exclusive residential streets in Nazi-occupied France, was Paris's hotbed of daring spies, murderous secret police, amoral informers, and Vichy collaborators. So when American physician Sumner Jackson, who lived with his wife and young son Phillip at Number 11, found himself drawn into the Liberation network of the French resistance, he knew the stakes were impossibly high. Just down the road at Number 31 was the "mad sadist" Theodor Dannecker, an Eichmann protégé charged with deporting French Jews to concentration camps. And Number 84 housed the Parisian headquarters of the Gestapo, run by the most effective spy hunter in Nazi Germany. From his office at the American Hospital, itself an epicenter of Allied and Axis intrigue, Jackson smuggled fallen Allied fighter pilots safely out of France, a job complicated by the hospital director's close ties to collaborationist Vichy. After witnessing the brutal round-up of his Jewish friends, Jackson invited Liberation to officially operate out of his home at Number 11—but the noose soon began to tighten. When his secret life was discovered by his Nazi neighbors, he and his family were forced to undertake a journey into the dark heart of the war-torn continent from which there was little chance of return. Drawing upon a wealth of primary source material and extensive interviews with Phillip Jackson, Alex Kershaw recreates the City of Light during its darkest days. The untold story of the Jackson family anchors the suspenseful narrative, and Kershaw dazzles readers with the vivid immediacy of the best spy thrillers. Awash with the tense atmosphere of World War II's Europe, Avenue of Spies introduces us to the brave doctor who risked everything to defy Hitler.

Discerning Spirits by Nancy Mandeville Caciola Pdf

Trance states, prophesying, convulsions, fasting, and other physical manifestations were often regarded as signs that a person was seized by spirits. In a book that sets out the prehistory of the early modern European witch craze, Nancy Caciola shows how medieval people decided whom to venerate as a saint infused with the spirit of God and whom to avoid as a demoniac possessed of an unclean spirit. This process of discrimination, known as the discernment of spirits, was central to the religious culture of Western Europe between 1200 and 1500.Since the outward manifestations of benign and malign possession were indistinguishable, a highly ambiguous set of bodily features and behaviors were carefully scrutinized by observers. Attempts to make decisions about individuals who exhibited supernatural powers were complicated by the fact that the most intense exemplars of lay spirituality were women, and the "fragile sex" was deemed especially vulnerable to the snares of the devil. Assessments of women's spirit possessions often oscillated between divine and demonic interpretations. Ultimately, although a few late medieval women visionaries achieved the prestige of canonization, many more were accused of possession by demons.Caciola analyzes a broad array of sources from saints' lives to medical treatises, exorcists' manuals to miracle accounts, to find that observers came to rely on the discernment of bodies rather than seeking to distinguish between divine and demonic possession in purely spiritual terms.
