Acts Prayer by Marybeth Wuenschel Pdf

Prayer is meant to be powerful and effective because God is powerful and effective. James 5:16 says, "The fervent prayer of a righteous person is very powerful." You are the righteous person the Bible is talking about because you are in Christ Jesus. He makes us "righteous" or "right with God. I want to show you how your prayer should be and can be powerful. This prayer book teaches you how to pray effectively anywhere and any time by simply following the ACTS. ACTS is an acronym for: A - Adoration C - Confession T - Thanksgiving S - Supplication (Simply Asking) God wants your prayer time to be extraordinary. When we pray we should have a real encounter with God. A life-changing, mountain-moving, earth-shaking encounter that keeps us engaged and focused. God wants an intimate relationship with you and it begins in prayer. The very first and most important commandment is to love the Lord your God. How can we love the Lord our God with all our heart if we don't spend time with Him? This book shows you the way to get to know and love the Lord by spending good, quality time with Him, and allows Him to minister to you and take you to places in the Spirit realm you have never been before. It's time for us to grow up in our faith and turn from relying solely on rote prayers. Begin praying from the heart. This takes practice and determination, not because it's hard, but because the devil does not want us to. The Devil tries to keep us from powerful, effective prayers. The ACTS prayer book, helps us grow by providing a tool to teach us how to pray and keep us praying. Follow the steps outlined in "ACTS." These steps will provide you with enough to get you started, keep you on track, and keep you going. Many prayer groups and churches all over the world have implemented this ACTS prayer. I am not sure how or where it started, but I am glad it did.

Prayer by Timothy Keller Pdf

Renowned pastor and New York Times bestselling author of The Prodigal Prophet Timothy Keller explores the power of prayer.

With his trademark insights and energy, Keller offers biblical guidance as well as specific prayers for certain situations, such as dealing with grief, loss, love, and forgiveness.

Motus Dei by Warrick Farah Pdf

Discover Your Place in the Movement of God An incredible breakthrough in missions history is taking place as disciples of Jesus make more disciples of Jesus around the globe, particularly among the least-reached. But what exactly are these church planting or disciple making movements? Where are they occurring and what are their unifying features? How are they manifesting in diverse populations? And can you or your organization be instrumental in catalyzing more movements? Motus Dei, Latin for “movement of God,” seeks to answer these questions and more. Warrick Farah has expertly synthesized an extensive conversation between mission practitioners, scholars, and seasoned movement leaders from around the world. The resulting in-depth analysis of movements provides a multi-disciplinary, academic investigation of an emerging “movements missiology,” highlighting the importance of theology, social sciences, ethnology and anthropology, communications theory, leadership theory, and statistical analysis. Motus Dei locates the current Church Planting Movement (CPM) phenomenon within modern history, while tracing its roots back to the first century, and articulates a missiological description of the dynamics of Disciple Making Movements (DMMs) in Asia, Africa, and diaspora contexts in the Global North. Offering over thirty firsthand accounts of indigenous churches planting churches among the nations, Motus Dei provides a seedbed for growing movements in diverse contexts. There are lessons to be learned here by anyone seeking to participate in the movement of God.

Where the Light Fell by Philip Yancey Pdf

In this searing meditation on the bonds of family and the allure of extremist faith, one of today’s most celebrated Christian writers recounts his unexpected journey from a strict fundamentalist upbringing to a life of compassion and grace—a revelatory memoir that “invites comparison to Hillbilly Elegy” (Publishers Weekly, starred review). “Searing, heartrending . . . This stunning tale reminds us that the only way to keep living is to ask God for the impossible: love, forgiveness, and hope.”—Kate Bowler, New York Times bestselling author of Everything Happens for a Reason Raised by an impoverished widow who earned room and board as a Bible teacher in 1950s Atlanta, Philip Yancey and his brother, Marshall, found ways to venture out beyond the confines of their eight-foot-wide trailer. But when Yancey was in college, he uncovered a shocking secret about his father’s death—a secret that began to illuminate the motivations that drove his mother to extreme, often hostile religious convictions and a belief that her sons had been ordained for a divine cause. Searching for answers, Yancey dives into his family origins, taking us on an evocative journey from the backwoods of the Bible Belt to the bustling streets of Philadelphia; from trailer parks to church sanctuaries; from family oddballs to fire-and-brimstone preachers and childhood awakenings through nature, music, and literature. In time, the weight of religious and family pressure sent both sons on opposite paths—one toward healing from the impact of what he calls a “toxic faith,” the other into a self-destructive spiral. Where the Light Fell is a gripping family narrative set against a turbulent time in post–World War II America, shaped by the collision of Southern fundamentalism with the mounting pressures of the civil rights movement and Sixties-era forces of social change. In piecing together his fragmented personal history and his search for redemption, Yancey gives testament to the enduring power of our hunger for truth and the possibility of faith rooted in grace instead of fear. “I truly believe this is the one book I was put on earth to write,” says Yancey. “So many of the strands from my childhood—racial hostility, political division, culture wars—have resurfaced in modern form. Looking back points me forward.”
