Just Deliver the MessagePaul was just an everyday, unassuming, ordinary man chosen to deliver life-changing messages to strangers. Could he have been mistaken for someone else and chosen incorrectly? Who was he to be given such a task? He was just barely a believer himself, with his own personal demons to battle.Thousands of believers discarded their personal belongings and assembled in an open field in Kentucky. By their faith alone, some followed a man unknown to them across America's heartland to find their destiny.Dark forces, determined to undermine the ultimate plan, battled the faithful at every turn. Spiritual warfare was something not to be played with, and it was hard to accept by even the most self-acclaimed believers. Minions of the darkness assured them of their reality.Would church leaders withstand the test of Paul's message or risk losing their salvation? Did Paul's messages save lives or result in eternal damnation?

Have you pulled up anchor and deliberately sailed away from God, or maybe you're just slowly drifting? Until one day, God's voice calls to you like the lighthouse will beckon to the nearby ships, alerting them to danger. God comes for us shining His light into the dark and dismal place that has us trapped. I made many mistakes in my life while being away from God, from the small barely noticeable ones, which seemed easy to fix, to the earth-shattering, knee-bending ones that I couldn't crawl out of without help. Today, I know that a strong relationship with God takes time and effort.Faith isn't stagnant. Faith involves active participation. Like a seed develops its roots beneath the soil, our faith grows deeper as we take our time getting to know God intimately through His Word. The more we understand and see His faithfulness throughout the Bible, the more we will love Him. Then our faith strengthens and becomes rooted in Him. In being faithful to my relationship with God, I found myself anchored in place by deep roots, and every gardener knows deep, strong roots are hard to uproot.These devotions were written to share my I-finally-get-it moments when God would teach me through my work, my relationships, and my daily activities. It didn't matter whether I was gardening, traveling, or cooking. God used these moments to open my eyes to certain truths He wanted me to know. On a roller coaster, where only death was expected, faith was finally understood. While chasing a storm with my mother, I understood a reason for trials. As I wrote, I prayed for the readers, and I longed that they, too, would draw and stay closer to Him, and I hope that you will be one of them.

Why can't we change our inappropriate, compulsive behaviors? Is it because we aren't trying? Surveys show that most people claim a lack of self-control was their reason for relapsing back to old bad habits. Although we believe in miraculous change as Christians, the church is often notorious for creating faith expectations that distort and skew the psychology of achieving lasting sobriety and weight loss goals. The problem is that cogent observations of our compulsive behaviors aren't always entirely rational. We underestimate and remain unaware of factors controlling our behavior. We have influences, biases, preferences, triggers, and traumas that cannot easily be undone. We overestimate our rational ability, failing to understand, actually ignoring our irrational selves. Although Jesus came to save us, his most important work was his efforts to reset our patterns of thought. Quite simply, he came to change our thinking! This book will examine psychological disciplines and techniques in our journey to break free from those habitual behavior cycles and achieve transformative release.

This is a true story of an elderly couple, Wade and Ruth Kincaid, sixty-five and sixty-four years old, respectively. They became fondly known as Mom and Pop when in Vietnam. They were led by God to go to Vietnam at the height of the Vietnam War to start a servicemen's center for the military personnel. They went with a ticket to get there and funds for a return ticket and little else. They did not know anyone in Saigon and did not have a place to stay. This was a foreign country, and they did not know the language, but they were willing to step out in faith believing that God would lead them on their journey of faith

In many Christian churches throughout the world today, there is absolute total bondage that millions of my brothers and sisters in Jesus are living through every day. This bondage is the inability of millions of God's children to forgive themselves for their past sins, the current sins in their lives, and sins they worry will continue tomorrow. Much of this bondage comes from so many holding on to their past and not fully understanding the total and absolute forgiveness of their heavenly Father.The kingdom of darkness has oppressed millions in the church today through lies using false teachings that have permeated most Christian denominations today through corrupt Bible versions and private interpretations of God's Word. Sadly, this same problem gets promoted by the legalism that many Christian denominations put on their members, teaching that one can lose their salvation by not following man-made rules and regulations or even committing one single sin. Not only that, but many churches fail to teach the unconditional love and forgiveness of God found in the truth of God's Word.The purpose or goal of this book is to show millions that God has totally forgiven us as His children. Also, the purpose is to help Christians to have a private talk with Jesus and allow Him through His Word to prove the love of the Father and the power of forgiveness that God has given through Jesus's sacrificial death on the cross.Here is your chance to talk to Jesus alone and find the peace of mind you deserve as a child of God as you listen to Jesus as He shows you in His Word how to forgive yourself. In reading this book, I desire for each of you to be able to say to Jesus with joy in your heart, "Lord, I forgive myself!"

As they dispatch with their tasks, the great angel reminisces about how it all began.In the beginning, war was unknown--until Michael expelled from the heavenly realm his twin brother, Lucifer, and thwarted the great rebellion. In the wake of such defeat, the enemy of the Trinity turned his vitriol toward the ones made most in the Creator's image, the human race. From the casting of Adam and Eve from the Garden to the Great Flood to the trials and tribulations of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph, the germination and evolution of spiritual warfare is witnessed.Archangel Michael follows the will and orders of the Most High as angel swords and demon spears clash in the battle for human destiny. He and his fellow archangels contend with Satan and his demonic princes as the chapters of Genesis unfold.Angel Chronicles: Patriarchs is an interpretation of the interactions and interventions of both good and evil forces from the day prior to the biblical account of the creation of man to the death of the last patriarch, Joseph. The voices and viewpoints, while leaning heavily on history as recorded by the scribes of the book of Genesis, are the creative account of spiritual entities, the masters they serve, and the humans caught in between, blending fantasy with religious texts.
