My name is Elijah A. Adeoye and I have been a Spirit-filled believer in Christ for about 5-6 years. I reside in Baltimore, MD. And I am originally from Nigeria. I have had an interesting walk with God and it's been A-mazing to watch him "father me" (THANK YOU LORD)! This book is about intimacy with Him and how the things we pursue as Christians: Righteousness, Holiness, Purity, Revival and Reformation, being Holy Spirit filled, wisdom et cetera, ALL flow from this one core value of His heart and of heaven: to 'know' God in intimacy (echoing Matthew 6:33). I wrote this in about a week or so (talk about Divine Inspiration!) and I still I'm learning to practice what He's taught me through these deep experiences I have had with him in glory form. I am like 99% away from walking in its fullness! Wow! Even the 1% has been good! I have had the privilege of working with Mr. Jonathan Robertson (a dear friend of mine from Morgan State University and Bethel Campus Fellowship-BCF) and Ms. Krystal Okehie who both have helped to edit this book. [Love you both]!
When Dawn Carpenter decides to disobey her husband's orders and take her camera and dog up into the woods to photograph wildlife, she has no idea that action will completely change her life.

Shot and left for dead, she wakes up in the hospital to find that her life and reputation have been ruined. No one believes her story, including her husband. Not knowing whom to trust, she embarks on a quest to find the truth. But what of the mysterious stranger? Is he really just an innocent tourist who was in the wrong place at the wrong time? Or is he someone more sinister? Can Dawn really trust him, or is he just someone else to fear? Can she ever make anyone believe that she is guilty of nothing but innocence? Born Velda Janell Waldrop in the small community of King, Arkansas, J. W. Watkins has always felt a call to write.

When using a GPS in a vehicle, its intended purpose is to get the driver to his or her destination. Also, the purpose of the driver is to drive looking ahead through the big glass windshield verses looking through the rear view mirror. In this world, you'll never and I mean never successfully reach your destination by always dwelling in the rear view mirror. I've discovered in life that the greatest tragedy of most people around the world is that we have been trying to move forward into our future possibilities while yet still dwelling in our past bondages. Never let your past destroy you or your future, but rather allow your past mistakes to make you pursue harder to fulfill your future promises that God our Heavenly Father has promised in His Word.- Your heart (mind) is the GPS and your body is the vehicle.- Where is your GPS destined to take you in your journey while on earth?- What highway road exit will you take?- Eternal life in the kingdom of heaven or Eternal destruction in hell? If you're not on the road to salvation through Jesus Christ this book is for you. If you've received salvation through Him, and pursuing on what to do next and need encouragement in His word to contend in the faith, this book is also for you. It'll teach us how we can keep our salvation through enduring hardship as a good soldier being filled with the power of the Holy Ghost. Matthew 7:13-14, "Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. 14 But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.
The question was asked once before; "What is truth?" The birds know its song and the stars know its glory. The Word has gone out to all the world, but few have understood its message. As the wind whispers by me I think. The wind goes where it wants to, and you can hear its sound, but you can't tell where it came from or where it's going. Something has changed. There's something inside me that wasn't there before; a joy, a happiness that defies description, a new life.
"No Further Questions!" Enough Said Greetings In The Matchless and Majestic Name of Jesus; It is with a humble and thankful heart of gratitude to my Lord and Savior that He has blessed me and favored me once again to pen another message of love, inspiration, encouragement and truth to my brothers and sisters, family and friends all over this land. Whether you choose to read it or purchase it for someone else; even if you never pick it up and take a look inside at all...the mere fact that you read the title, heard the name or even was told about this young servant who wrote it was and is a blessing in and of itself. I pray that "No Further Questions" will be the catalyst that peaks your curiosity enough and stimulates your minds in order to move your spirits to a place of desiring a new revelation of God's love, purpose and plan for your life. We each have an assignment and destinies to fulfill here in the earth realm and its high time that we be about our Father's business and stop playing around. What I'm saying love ones; we seem to get so busy and wrapped up in the acts of doing what we feel or seem to be right in our own eyes that we fail to take the time to sit down, settle down and listen to what God says in His Word. His Word should have first and final authority in our lives. Spend time in His Word and His Word will answer every question that you may have. This book speaks about various accounts and situations that others faced; including myself. But, once it was met with the Word; there were no further questions and there was nothing more to be said. My prayers are that God will continue to bless and keep each and every one of you as only He can do. Blessings & Love, Minister Terica Renee Dees

King David was a man after God's own heart; that is how the Bible describes his passion for God and for worshiping Him in spirit and truth. Jesus told the woman at the well that the Father searches for true worshipers, those who worship in spirit and truth. But what does it mean to worship the Father in spirit and truth? In this workbook by Pastor Bubba Stahl, True Worship: 150 Days of Learning to Worship the Father in Spirit and Truth, you will learn what it means to become a true worshiper. Crafted as a series of biblical readings and devotions, Bubba defines what true worship represents to God and explains the various examples of worship found within the pages of the Bible. The devotions are paired with each of the Bible's 150 psalms, accompanied with scripture readings from the Old Testament and the New Testament. Written to accompany daily prayer time with God, the scripture verses and the psalms explore a personal relationship with God and how you can learn to worship God in spirit and truth. Each day explores different areas of worship, from defining what full and empty worship are to how worship undermines the destructive deception of the flesh. Readers will see these truths take form in their prayer lives as they experience God in an ever-deepening personal and intimate relationship with Jesus Christ. Bubba Stahl has been a pastor for the past thirty-three years. He and Beth married in 1972 and for the next ten years worked on several Texas ranches. On August 7, 1982 God called Bubba into the ministry. Bubba and Beth live in Kingsland, Texas.

The battle at midnight is not just an issue of deliverance, where you are spun around, led to vomit, scream, or contort your face to get material things from the Lord but more to walk in a closer and deeper relationship with the Lord. There are many types of prayer battle that one can enter into, but this particular battle is to help us to crucify the flesh and above all renew our thinking patterns and adjust the way we view the Lord at times.Many times people will go through serious deliverance which at times involves fasting, long hours of prayer and casting out of demonic oppressive spirits, then after the deliverance session, that person will make so many promises to the Lord vowing to serve Him with a devoted and loyal heart, but If the mindset of that individual does not get renewed, after such a sacrifice, that person will become worse off than they were before the deliverance took place and in the end can conclude that the minister that did the deliverance did not know what he/ she was doing.Matt 12:43-45"When an unclean spirit goes out of a man, he goes through dry places, seeking rest, and finds none. Then he says, 'I will return to my house from which I came.' And when he comes, he finds it empty, swept, and put in order. Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter and dwell there; and the last state of that man is worse than the first. So shall it also be with this wicked generation." (NKJV) About the Author Apostle Barbara Clarke is a native of Guyana and a citizen of Barbados.

Why God Created man: Understanding God's Original Idea is intended to challenge the long held view that man was created to worship God. This book has been written to bring an understanding of who is man and why he was created. A lot of long held views on death, heaven, why Jesus died and what is Eden are explained to bring out clearly God's original idea.The book removes the long held view of man being body to a spirit being and further highlights the fact that man should live more as a spirit being and not as body/flesh being for him to appreciate the reason why he was created. That by living this way, man will be able to truly worship God and experience fully the communion and fellowship with God. The book emphasis that man is able to live in both the spirit and physical world and the paramount importance for man is to constantly live in the supernatural world. Okwi Paul is a minister at Kifumbiro Christian Fellowship Church located in Kampala Uganda.

The teaching without the demonstration of the power only delivers theories and makes one a scholar and an academician.Okwi Paul is married to one wife, a true helper and friend and together have 3 children.
We live in a time where there is no God and the true Gospel is being changed word by word. So many Christians today are so busy they don't go to church. Even if they do, they aren't finding time to read and study as we are told to do. Instead they are accepting what their minister teaches, not understanding that they too are capable of accepting lies. This is leading Christians astray, not knowing for sure if what they accept is biblically true. Some even believe in the saying "once saved, always saved" (as I did also) and assuming they can do as they please without eternal punishment. I was one of these Christians and when I answered His call to come back, He showed me so many truths to the lies I was living. This book was written in a way that will give Christians answers to the questions of what is right and wrong for the true followers. Taking different truths of the world and showing the truth according to the scriptures. I believe the reason there is so much confusion is because many Christians are ignorant of what the Gospel is truly about. We stopped taking responsibility and left it to those who teach without holding them accountable. God means what He says, that's why we must heed to His warnings.
In the eyes of many believers, worship is the most important thing the church does. However, it often remains the least studied and reflected upon of all the church's activities.The Father Seeketh Such to Worship Him is a balanced and all-inclusive assessment of worship taken from the biblical view of the tabernacle. God deserves worship, and God desires worship, and it is an essential part of our relationship with Him. This book explores the various ways we can praise and worship God and gives clergy and lay people alike fresh insights into the meaning and practice of worship old and new. Dr. Charles E. Lewis Sr. is senior pastor of Antioch and Kairos Church Ministries. He is a graduate of Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary in South Hamilton, Massachusetts, where he received his Doctor of Ministry degree in biblical worship. He is a site director for Apex School of Theology, Durham, North Carolina. He is also the author of Reconciliation of Worship in the Black Church: Spontaneous Worship.

Just try and read your joy in sorrow and you will see that everything is in the Word of God.

Warning!What you get is not what you see!This book does not contain a single photograph, illustration, or picture of any sort. It contains only words, cleverly crafted to convey an unparalleled visual imagery to the heart and mind.Being both fact and fiction, and fantasy and reality, you will laugh and cry, and live and die, on a trip lasting little more than an hour.How a 'short-cut' like Summer Squash (Taste and See) can take so many marvelous twists and turns on a path of hilarity leading only onward and upward into wisdom and truth and light, I myself will never quite know!
Struggle is something promised to every person living on the earth, that there will be times of difficulty as well as times of success. However, a struggle in faith can be added onto those obstacles in life and cause Christians to question what to do next. This is the focus for the new devotional by author Jeffrey Britsch, The Struggler, which bestows spiritual encouragement to those overwhelmed by challenges but who still want to walk by faith. The sixty devotionals prompt drawing closer to God and being rewarded with the unconditional love of Jesus to persevere through trials. Jeffrey also includes several stories from his testimonial: the desire for approval from his earthly father and how he found that approval in the grace of God. The hope is for readers to know they serve a faithful God and no matter the struggle, they can be His good and faithful servants.
She went to the Lord in prayer and what emerged over that precious time, over the course of three decades, were countless devotional messages to encourage believers in Christ. These messages of hope embody author Carol S. Lewis' new book, God's Encouraging Presence, which creates a spiritual dialogue between God and the reader to help overcome the challenges of life. Biblical wisdom is bestowed evenly for needs pertaining to singles, married couples and members of church bodies, with the goal to prompt a full surrender to God as one walks by faith. Carol's messages also connect to obeying God's leading in life, fighting discouragement, and recognizing and strengthening spiritual gifts; common areas of needs among believers. As renewed courage abounds in believers, more will focus on God and the Bible to discover the next step in His plan. Carol answered her call to write; feel encouraged to answer your call.

Every evening after supper, Ma would put the leftovers in the icebox and us kids would clean the dishes and put them in the cupboards. When Ma was finished, she would join Pa who would be out in the living room lighting the coal stove and setting up the radio to be listened to. This evening however, was different. After Tom, Em and I finished with cleaning the dishes and putting them away, we came out into the living room and Ma and Pa were nowhere in sight. The stove was not lit nor was the radio readied to be listened to. We sat on the couch and waited, the patio screen door opened and closed announcing the entrance of Ma and Pa. Ma took her place on the chair next to the couch, Pa stood in front of us kids. As Pa began to speak, the Depression had arrived at our household, income was lost and had to be found. In the days ahead Pa and I will set out on a journey that will teach me about God's provision, bring me to people that I never knew existed, and introduce me to the love of my life.
One call. One walk. One step. People dream, people envision, and people hope. However, few have followed through. Pressed by the pain of homes in America unraveling due to abuse, addictions, anger, anxiety, and apathy, Dr. Jim Buckley answered God's one call to take one walk, one step at a time, across America: a walk to live out a message for Jesus; a walk of 3,131 miles long over 6 months. Jim Buckley walked across America with Glenda, his wife of 47 years, driving their 22-foot RV with this message: Homes in America are in need of Jesus! Compiled in this book is the story of one man, one husband, one father, one grandfather, one professor, and one pastor who heard God's call and responded to walk across America, communicating a message of hope in Jesus Christ for homes across America. You will be inspired, encouraged, and brought to tears in this real story across the beautiful states of America. Will you be inspired to answer your call? What is your Walk Across America? What are you putting off? What is burning in your soul to accomplish? Answer the "one" call just as this 66-year-old man did. It's never too late to take your "one" step!
In Deuteronomy 33: 27, "The eternal God is my refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms: and he shall thrust out the enemy from before thee; and shall say, Destroy them" I found to be so comforting to me. For so long, I have been looking for security. I have found Jesus Christ to be my only true security! How often have I entrusted my life to other things such as a career, a noble cause, money, a twelve-step program, or alcohol. But what I have learned through my journey is that my only true refuge is the eternal God, who always holds out his arms to catch me when I fall. For I know now, that no storm can destroy me when I take refuge in him. Today, I dare to be bold because God is my refuge. Today, I am no longer a victim. I choose to be whom I want to be. No more false pretenses or vicesjust me. Today, I choose not to abuse substances, situations, or things. I have found the ultimate answernot in a 12step program, but in Jesus Christ and his word. Thank you Lord for the blessing of not only acceptance of myself and my mistakes, but also for being able to forgive. Forgiveness has been the ultimate healing process for myself and for others. Thank you for releasing the skeletons from my closet and dissolving them. Today, I have a solution to all of my problems. The solution is forgiveness through Jesus Christ, who died on the cross for all of my sinspast, present, and future. Resentment for me, has been replaced with forgiveness. What a simple concept that is for me. Today, at this very moment in time, I am truly freed! Thank you Lord Jesus.

Biblical Prophecy from a Military Perspective In Matthew 24: 21 (NASB), Christ Jesus describes the upcoming tribulation in these words: 21 "For then there will be a great tribulation, such as has not occurred since the beginning of the world until now, nor ever will." The unprecedented magnitude of this great cataclysm is clearly established by the words of our Lord, Christ Jesus; however, this warning appears to be ignored since the tribulation looms just ahead and no-one seems to prepare. At this late stage of the Biblical timeline, it has now become urgent for those who wish to prepare for their own safety and the safety of their loved ones. To better understand what we must prepare for, this end-time Biblical narrative explains how the sudden carnage and desolations of the tribulation will soon claim more than half of the world population, which is nearly sixty times more than the 60-million people who perished in World War II. Then, at the end of the 42-month tribulation, Christ Jesus will gather His unified flock in the clouds, all righteous Israelites-both Jews and Gentile Christians, and transform them from mortal to immortal and then return with them to desolated earth, in Israel. This is the second coming of Christ Jesus. A month later, the Battle of Armageddon will end with the annihilation of Satan's armies, and then all flesh will become extinct to more than double the carnage and desolations of the tribulation. When this extinction of all flesh takes place, the earth will become incinerated in a heat which will melt the elements (2 Peter 3: 10-13), and then God will transform the purged earth into a paradise, with its remnant population to be the immortal saints who were once mortals. In addition to explaining these end-time prophecies in perspective, the narrative also explains to its readers how they can survive and become transformed from mortal to immortal to become the worthy citizens of this new millennial paradise of Christ Jesus.
