Ordinary People Serving an Extraordinary God by Paul Adams Pdf

Saint Paul claimed to be the chief sinner, but the man that Paul Adams once was could rival him—but not anymore. The life of deceit, selfishness, and pain that the author engaged in is now in the rearview mirror. When he reads about the people who will not inherit the kingdom of God, he can see the man he used to be walking toward eternal destruction. While Adams was close to certain death many times, God kept him here so he could become a soldier for His cause. Ever since Adams was saved, he has sought to win souls for the Lord. In this testimony, he asks powerful questions such as: • How can we work on a daily basis for God’s glory? • Where can we find opportunities to be part of God’s work? • What can we do to be sensitive to the Holy Spirit? While Adams is just an ordinary man, his journey of slowly moving toward Christ until being born again holds valuable lessons for everyone. Discover how you, too, can be redeemed and live in God’s love and grace.

Ordinary People Used by an Extraordinary God by Shawn Beaton Pdf

YOUR LIFE CAN BE EXTRAORDINARY!This book was not written for those who think they are God's best. It was written for those who feel unqualified to be called by God for a higher purpose. Jesus is walking the highways and seeking to redeem those who are lost, deep in sin and rejected of men. He wants to give these people purpose and use them in an extraordinary way. It does not matter what their history is, but whether they are hungry for God. Many struggle with personal sins and failure and feel unfit for God's use. They often look at the heroes of the Bible as super saints, but many of them weren't so super in reality. God called many of these people when they were deep in sin, blinded by rage or rejected of men. There was nothing really great about them, but their God was great. They were no different from you or I. They were ordinary men and women used by an EXTRAORDINARY GOD!This book looks at the lives of some of the men and women used by God in the Bible. I chose to focus on the primary godly attribute of each Biblical hero and then examine the sin or weakness they struggled with most. These saints or patriarchs are portrayed in a realistic manner in this book. God never intended for us to idolize these men and women. Instead He wanted us to see His great grace in action through mankind. At the end of this book I challenge the reader to pick up the mantles of these Biblical heroes and those used by God throughout Church history. Any Christian can be used by God in an extraordinary way. God is looking for those like Elisha who said, "Where is the God of Elijah?" Will you pick up the mantles that have been forgotten? Will you be the next David? The next Paul? Read this book and awaken God's call on your life today!

Ordinary People Exhibiting Extraordinary Greatness by Dwight Merritt Pdf

Ordinary People Exhibiting Extraordinary Greatness is a heartfelt exhortation for all people to accept Jesus Christ and use their God-given gifts, talents, and abilities in conjunction with their spiritual character to edify mankind and glorify God. The book begins by asking, “Who are the ordinary people?” Next, it explains that gifts, talents, and abilities from God make ordinary people extraordinary. Followed by discussions on true greatness in the eyes of God, spiritual character, natural fruit and the correlation between these concepts are discussed. This is followed by biblical examples of Rahab, Ananias, and Mordecai, who exhibited extraordinary greatness, including exhortations about spiritual fruit, the true worship of God-not idols, and the glory of God. Next, is a detailed analysis describing David’s conflict with Goliath and a simple blueprint for exhibiting extraordinary greatness, including a synopsis of repentance, salvation, righteousness, the covenant, forgiveness, and the new creation. Completed by a discussion on purpose, vision, goals, standard, and mission. This exhortation should encourage and edify anyone with a desire to please God.

Ralph’s desire is for the reader to delve into each experience and see the natural touch of an extraordinary God upon the lives of ordinary people. He says any born-again Christian who answers the call of Jesus to follow Him could write such a book.

Ordinary People Come Face-to-Face with Extraordinary GOD by Juanita Nobles Pdf

Have you ever wondered about some of the lesser known people mentioned in the Bible? There are many people in the Bible who were helpers of the significant ones like David, Moses, Peter, and Paul. For example, Abigail, one of David's wives, saved her family because she was thoughtful and hardworking. Uriah, the husband of Bathsheba, lost his life because of his loyalty to the army and his King. People from other nations played an important part in Jewish history because they trusted God and made their home with the Jews. What about New Testament people like Apollos, Barnabas, Cornelius, and some of the lesser known disciples? This book is about many of those people who met God and made a decision for or against Him.

Here Am I, Lord...Send Somebody Else by Jill Briscoe Pdf

Being used by God is an adventure you won’t want to miss! Major Ian Thomas, a British theologian, teacher, and the founder of Torchbearers Bible Schools, spent seven exhausting years trying to live for Christ when he realized that God actually just wanted to live through Him. He offered this extremely simple advice in considering the Christian life: Go where you are sent, stay where you are put, and do what you are asked. With her trademark warmth and keen sense of humor, esteemed Bible study teacher Jill Briscoe follows Major Thomas’s example to help readers learn how to allow God to live through them, finding their mission field to be right before them—in the space between their own two feet. She uses stories from her own life and of other contemporaries to unpack the story of Moses in helping us better understand our true worth and calling. She asks, “What is your Jerusalem, your Judea, your Samaria? Whether you’re fifty or fifteen, you are called to be God’s light in a troubled world.” This classic work is being updated to include conversation starters and Bible study questions at the end of each chapter.

Ordinary People, Extraordinary Power by John Eckhardt Pdf

In today's world we need Christians and churches willing to break out of the normal patterns of religion and tradition to impact and reach the world. Ordinary People, Extraordinary Power gives a strong case for the apostolic culture as a criterion for change in the church today. A culture is a way of life of a group of people—the behaviors, beliefs, values, and symbols that they accept, generally without thinking about them, and that are passed along by communication and imitation from one generation to the next. An apostolic culture is simply the ways, beliefs, behavior, and values of God's people. It is a culture of power and the Holy Spirit. Apostolic leaders will impart power and authority to the members. Believers need to be activated to heal, deliver, prophesy, and preach. They must be activated to demonstrate the kingdom. The apostolic culture includes worship, deliverance, apostolic teams, prophecy, ordaining, establishing, pioneering, evangelizing, prayer, teaching, helps, governments, missions, healing, the Gifts of the Spirit, holiness, impartation, and church government. All of these will be discussed in this book in order to help leaders and believers move in apostolic power and authority.

Extraordinary Hospitality (for Ordinary People) by Carolyn Lacey Pdf

How to offer Christian hospitality without becoming exhausted and overburdened.

She explores seven ways in which we can reflect God’s character in the way we welcome others into our homes and into our lives, and so point people ultimately to Christ. This practical and realistic book explores how to make generous hospitality part of everyday life without becoming exhausted and overburdened.
