Today the chatter among evangelical teachers and preachers concerning the end of time seems almost deafening at times. Books, videos, feature films, magazine and newspaper articles--you name it, they all have something to say regarding the end times. And please hear my heart, I'm not disagreeing with them at all. I totally agree that we are today living in prophetic times.However, it seems to me that no one wants to address the question that appears to be on the minds of so many people. That question, "When will these things come to pass?" Hey, the disciples asked Jesus the same question in Matthew 24, right?Well, that's precisely what this book attempts to do. I want to answer that question as best as it can possibly be answered, and while I won't be able to give you the exact day or the exact hour of the coming events, if I'm correct--and I really think that I am--in what I share within this book, I'm totally convinced that I can get you in the proverbial ballpark, so to speak. And I will do so biblically--in other words, by using only what the Bible gives us.If you'll commit to reading this simple little book for many, if not most people, I can all but guarantee you that you will exit with a much better understanding of the chronology of God's Word. You will read and perhaps for the first time ever be able to comprehend the Gospel or "good news" of Jesus Christ, plus you'll come to appreciate just how little time may actually remain before the end-time events that everyone is talking about begins to unfold across the face of the whole earth.In other words, you will be able to better understand "God's man plan," and thereby, you will be better able to prepare for what lies ahead for all mankind.
Many people I have loved and who are no longer on this earth, and many people I still love, believe that a scientific way of thinking has removed the mysteries that led less educated people to believe in a god. They think the scientific advances demonstrate superior scientific thinking that has led to the erosion of the foundations of faith, an erosion that no longer supports rational faith. If someone you love thinks along these lines, this book may be for them.
A Glimpse of Heaven is an inspirational book that highlights some of the revelations of God through dreams and visions and the study of God's Word. This book also seeks to help those who are attempting to understand the human prospect with the mysteries of God. What's more, it aims to give one an idea of the process one has to endure for their relationship with God. It also recognizes some of those who are in the public arena that work every day with the intention of introducing the world to Jesus Christ in spite of the scrutiny and the price they pay while explaining how Christ provides an alternative for the life of depression, abuse, neglect, chaos, despair, and hopelessness by helping people gain a life of peace, joy, happiness, and purpose. It also aims to teach someone how important they are to the creator of the universe.
Our Why Is More Important than Our What is about how God looks at our decisions. God has always been concerned about our hearts and our relationship to him. Your why always looks to your heart's motives. What we do for the cause of Christ is important, but why we do it shows our heart's desire. We are to do the things we do because we love Jesus out of a pure motive, not because we are forced or compelled by servitude, or from some contract we think we can force onto God for admittance into heaven.Salvation always has been freely given upon our confession and repentance of sin, our heart's desire to accept Jesus as our Savior, and our desire to follow him the rest of our lives. Then the adventure really begins for us as we follow after Jesus, and he leads us ever deeper and deeper into his love, grace, and mercies, and we become more like him.

I committed my life to Christ as a teen. I can remember attending a revival at my church. My church was Zion Temple First Pentecostal Church at that time. My bishop was Bishop Jasper J. Phillips. That night, I was so moved by what I heard, I decided to give my life to Christ. I can look back now, and it was the best decision that I made to date. I started on my journey to live for Christ. I was in the choir. I joined the Bible Bowl Team, where we studied certain topics and themes from the Bible. I also entered a biblical essay contest. I won an award for my entry. I want to note that the Bible Bowl and essay contest were part of the International Young People's Pentecostal Assembly of the World. This is where each church in our district competed against each other. These were friendly competitions. This was very helpful in learning and understanding God's word. In this competition, we had great, spirit-filled coaches and counselors who encouraged us to study.

Gidon is a big lad at sixteen years. It is time for him to be betrothed to a young woman whom his father approves of. And he longs for a wife he can love forever. There is no shortage of candidates who would like to have him as their husband. His father is one of the wealthiest men in the village of Eastwatch by the Rising of the Little Dan, and Gidon is considered not only strong but handsome as well. Except for a gap of three hundred years, Gidon's family has a long history in the village.The forefathers of Gidon had traditionally been foresters, and he wished for nothing else for himself. His dream was of a loving wife and a life spent enjoying the forests, which would also provide his living. But this was not to be. An event that happened the year before our story begins would change his life. It would draw the attention of the chief of the Long Knives, and he would promise Gidon nothing more than an interesting life, provided he lived long enough.What would follow would be a series of events that proved the value of the education he had received from Bishop Elisha, during the snowed-in winters, of his brief childhood. He would encounter the leviathan and the sabretooth, the giant and the witch, all the while increasingly seeing the superiority of the Invisible God over the pagan beliefs that once ruled Aleman, his native land.Gidon's deeds will affect the lives of many people, but always his unfulfilled desire is to get back to Getrudis, the girl whose protector he had become when they met.
Many people today are mesmerized by the theological industry. The cost of their polished terms and invented craftiness is high, and the results are not the original conclusion the apostles had in mind. The apostles warned, "The time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but because they have itching ears, they will gather up for themselves teachers, turning their ears away from the truth, into fables." Salvation and the knowledge of God is free, as written: "Everyone who thirsts, come to the waters; come buy wine and milk, without money and without cost." But free has become a portion (autopay) of your earnings once entrapped by their spell and craftiness. It is baffling to see how, from something meant to be free, they have amassed fortunes for themselves. No one can blame the Lord for these dishonest individual's astute heist. God Jesus told the religious men of His days, "You are in error because you do not know Scriptures or the power of God," and this is an issue in theology today. Being a believer does not make you a disciple. A disciple studies Scriptures after he/she is born again by the power of God, and all will know the Lord. A person not touched by His power can only see and hear God's invitation, the ABC of the gospel. Without the extreme touch of God (receiving the mind of Christ and/or Spirit baptism by the evidence He gives), reading Scripture is like watching a 3D movie without the 3D glasses. It will all be a blur. In fact, a disciple walks into the holy of holies and is transcended by the living touch of God, where the natural-minded believer prefer the fables to their itching ears. What sets this book apart is that it points to a path, not a conclusion. We believe it will prompt you to research scripture as the power of God gives you the insight and expand your spirit/soul by knowing and understanding the God of Scripture.
A relationship knit together out of love that holds forever into eternity.

He invites you to accept His love by believing in His son, Jesus Christ, for salvation and eternal life. With a new life in Christ, you are entitled to enjoy all the blessings God has put in place for His children without sweating.In Straight Outta Love, Joyce will walk you through the love of God while explaining with biblical verses why you must be motivated by the love of God to do all things as required in 1 Corinthians 16:14 (AMP). By understanding God's great and pure love, you will be able to embrace it fully while enjoying His amazing grace.

A telltale memoir with a dramatic twist in this nonfiction spiritual saga that was uniquely written from a spiritual perspective other than the natural. Unwind as I attempt the impossible task of describing a spiritual pang that exceeds man's typically natural ability to perceive it.

These have been recorded by me with the assistance of the Holy Spirit, who has shown me those events from a spiritual perspective.It unveils the astounding truth as recorded in Ephesian 6:12. It is a book that everyone in the world should read because in it you will see the true God, the creator of the heavens and earth, as you saw him in the Bible. It entails a higher power exceeding beyond man's natural existence.I was brought into a marriage like one that had taken place over six thousand years ago in the garden as recorded in the book of Genesis. I saw God as I saw him in the Garden of Eden and in the book of Ester. And I have undergone a painful and indescribable spiritual hurt of which Joseph in the Old Testament could relate.You will see God do an act in my life that was one that he had done in times of old in the life of King David. It openly establishes truth in relation to the living God who is sovereign over the subtotal of his creation, causing skeptics to reconsider their uncertainty relating to God's word.These writings might prove to be out of the ordinary as the content of these writings is a result of the puppet master pulling the strings behind the scenes while it was all divinely orchestrated for these times.Contact_info@thejesuschristministry.org.

Paul said, "We loved you so much that we were delighted to sharewith you not only the gospel of God, but our lives as well."-(2 Thessalonians 2:8a NIV) As Paul shares, I have the desire to share my life through the teachings that come with analogies and parables.Walking in the Footsteps of Christ is an accumulation of "a gift of knowledge" laced with "a gift of wisdom." Writings placed within these pages reflect an inner dialogue between the Holy Spirit and my heart and mind-relating spiritual truths (which we might not understand) with physical truths (to which we may relate in our daily living).One such analogy that communicates a relationship between an author and a reader is as follows:A kiwi fruit matures faster when placed in a brown paper bag with an apple. Why? The apple gives off "ethylene gas," accelerating the maturity of the kiwi, while the apple remains an apple. God, through the venue of Holy Spirit, showed me that my writings originally were the catalyst for accelerating my spiritual growth (maturity).Applying spiritual truths with physical truths: The contents of this book (the bi-product of my walk) discharge "a spiritual ethylene gas" by placing two spiritual fruit-bearing beings in a one-on-one setting. Such as with the relationship between the apple and the kiwi, you, the reader, will not become like me-but may have a better understanding of what God could produce out of your own life. To this you were called, because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example that you should follow in His steps.-(1 Peter 2:21 NIV) *****This Book Becomes my Prayer(Walking in the Footsteps of Christ, Page 349) I pray, dear Lord, that Your readers, too, might take the timeAnd glean some of these teachingsAnd share with others as I have shared with them.Dear Lord, I place this book in Your HandsAs my footsteps become footprintsFor generations to come.Through Jesus Christ, Our Lord Amen.
