| test of righteousness wow: Wow, I Want What They Have! Pastor K. Bruce Brown, 2022-12-22 We cannot relate to a spirit God, a spirit Savior, a spirit Uncle, and a spirit enemy without embracing the spirit world. This book coined the phrase Earth-life Bias [ELB] to identify the enemy's work in our daily lives and illustrate how most believers just add our Abba Father as an accessory to this life instead of becoming citizens of Heaven and members of his Family. This book illustrates how pervasive ELB is in every aspect of our lives without criticizing any person, organization or denomination. They all serve our Abba Father’s purpose and all have Romans 10 in their Holy Bibles which shows us how to avoid the fiery pit. The rest of the Scripture is about our relationships. Esoteric knowledge of the Scripture is for scholars, we need to apply it to our lives. After revealing the ELB in our lives, we explain how to escape it by embracing the supernatural divine spirit world and how the “godly control system,” the heart, mind, spirit, soul connection with the Holy Spirit, Jesus and our Abba Father works. With that foundation, we show how build our faith, relationships, and marriages, converting “for better or worse” to sanctified marriage with vows to our Abba Father to do it his way. There is also a section on Daniel which brings our Abba Father into modern times, explains what is taking Jesus so long to get here, and answers a lot of questions about end times. This section is work but it is a giant faith builder, as you will see. But regardless of where we worship, we are individually responsible for own relationship with our Abba Father and this book will help any believer grow their faith and experience the full joy, peace and glory our Abba Father created for us. |

| test of righteousness wow: WOW Faith Marilyn Hickey, 2004 Many of us wrestle with faith issues every day. No matter how hard we try, we can't seem to make faith work for us. That's our problem-we're trying too hard. Because we live in a complex society that seeks complex answers to every question, we have made faith complex also. In the process, we have lost sight of the kind of faith that pleases God. Faith is not complicated. God-pleasing faith is simple faith without all the extras, additives, and options we so often tack onto it. God designed faith to be so simple that a child can understand it. Faith that pleases God-faith that works-is childlike faith. Childlike faith will change your life, make you prosperous, and bring you health and victory. If you are tired of complicated and confusing approaches to faith that never seem to make a difference in your life, then this book is for you. Learn how to return to the simple, childlike faith that always pleases God-and opens the windows of heaven! Book jacket. |
| test of righteousness wow: The Fruit of Righteousness Paul Murray, 2022-02-16 Nowhere in the Bible does God promise an instant fix. Our culture is so insistent on immediate results. We want fast food, quick service, and instant pudding. We hate waiting in line for anything. If our smartphone is 4G, we must have 5G. Everything must be quicker and faster. It's not that God can't, won't, or never does an instant fix. Lazarus, come forth was an instant fix. Lazarus got up and walked out of the tomb. Tabatha, arise, and the little girl got up off her deathbed. That was an instant fix. Be still, and the winds and the waves instantly became calm. That's 5G speed! But instant fix is not the norm in the Christian life. Instant healings are not typical, and it has nothing to do with a lack of faith. A jackpot lotto winning is seldom an excellent financial solution to your problems, and justice is rarely immediate nor swift. That is just the way things are in a broken world. The same was true for Israel. It took seven long, grueling years to conquer Canaan. Later in the book, we will see why it took so long. The norm for gaining victory over sin and becoming mature in our faith usually takes a lifetime. As someone once said, We are all men under construction. As long as we are still above ground, God is still working on us. Israel has now conquered the promised land. There are no more threats from the various Canaanite tribes, and there is peace across the land. Finally, after generations of waiting upon God to receive the promised inheritance, the spoils of the land are about to be divided among the tribes of Judah. But with each inheritance there comes some serious responsibility. Each individual tribe was to finish the job of removing the enemy for the land they inherited. The mandate was not live and let live or indenture the indigenous or settle for coexistence. The remnant of enemy left in the land was to be completely driven out. To fail to do that would threaten Israel's very existence in the promised land. Were they willing to finish the job? The obstacles loomed large, but God had proven His ability to move mountains. Starting strong does not win any race. The race is won when you cross the finish line. Read on and learn how to finish the race. The Fruit of Righteousness (Joshua 12-14) is the third and final part of the three-part series Pagans, Prostitutes and Other Problems: A Simple Man's Commentary on Joshua. |

| test of righteousness wow: I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die Sarah J. Robinson, 2021-05-11 A compassionate, shame-free guide for your darkest days “A one-of-a-kind book . . . to read for yourself or give to a struggling friend or loved one without the fear that depression and suicidal thoughts will be minimized, medicalized or over-spiritualized.”—Kay Warren, cofounder of Saddleback Church What happens when loving Jesus doesn’t cure you of depression, anxiety, or suicidal thoughts? You might be crushed by shame over your mental illness, only to be told by well-meaning Christians to “choose joy” and “pray more.” So you beg God to take away the pain, but nothing eases the ache inside. As darkness lingers and color drains from your world, you’re left wondering if God has abandoned you. You just want a way out. But there’s hope. In I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die, Sarah J. Robinson offers a healthy, practical, and shame-free guide for Christians struggling with mental illness. With unflinching honesty, Sarah shares her story of battling depression and fighting to stay alive despite toxic theology that made her afraid to seek help outside the church. Pairing her own story with scriptural insights, mental health research, and simple practices, Sarah helps you reconnect with the God who is present in our deepest anguish and discover that you are worth everything it takes to get better. Beautifully written and full of hard-won wisdom, I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die offers a path toward a rich, hope-filled life in Christ, even when healing doesn’t look like what you expect. |

If I am penning simply to promote me, I am dead within. Some books are informative and entertaining, while others are a waste of trees. What have you been moved to read lately? What are you searching for an answer to? What is your burning desire to learn or understand? When you think you have that answer, ask yourself why. Inner conflict is a pretty good indicator of spiritual warfare. Does the preceding statement raise any red flags for you? At times, when Im experiencing conflict within, it has always resulted from my human nature and Satan battling my spirit. I have penned about much of this; Ive no doubt there will be more. |
| test of righteousness wow: The Power of a Woman's Words Sharon Jaynes, 2007-09-01 International speaker Sharon Jaynes believes that women have incredible power in their sphere of influence with the words they speak. Words are one of the most powerful forces in the universe, and they can be used for good or evil. When God created our world, He did so with words. He said, Let there be... and it was so. While our words cannot bring into existence things that are not, they do have the power to build courage into a husband's life, instill confidence into a child's heart, fan into flames the dying embers of a friend's smoldering dreams, and draw the lost to Christ. This book is for every woman who desires to use her words to build up rather than tear down, to encourage rather than discourage, to cheer rather than jeer. It is for all who desire to have more control over that mighty force called the tongue. |

| test of righteousness wow: Treasure Rosemond Opare-Kumi, 2020-05-31 Treasure is invaluable. The TREASURE who is Jesus Christ is more than that. Find out from the first in The TREASURE series with a focus on His life and ministry presented around 18 themes. They include: His profound strategy for ministry and teaching style which are applicable today for ministry. His prayer life which set the pace for the believers and establishes the importance of it for successful ministry and victorious Christian living. His humility, despite being God, challenged His friends and foe but remain a lasting legacy for current christian leadership. His commitment to delivering His Father’s business made Him conscientious and focused; a sure foundation for all believers and ministry endeavors. His miracles confirmed His omnipotence; an inspiration for Kingdom workers to embrace and expect the grace of signs and wonders. His last prayer and words on the cross were His exit reports; a clear indication that He had finished His assignment. However, His exit was rather ‘au revoire’ and ‘à bientôt’; goodbye and see you soon, as He handed over to the Holy Spirit who was going to be with all who received Him and believed in His name. As such, He commissioned follow up to His work by His followers with an assured presence and return to take them home. There is therefore an open Call to life in Him which renders the TREASURE chest open to all. Getting to know how Jesus Christ accomplished His mission on earth will contribute to avoiding pitfalls and re- invention of the wheel by Kingdom workers. Ministry work is still a learning curve for many. In this regard, The TREASURE is a welcome and handy resource until the finished line is crossed. |
| test of righteousness wow: From Grief to Glory Otto Rieke II, 2011-05-25 Cataclysmic events, some representing lifes most grievous tragedies, have struck Otto Rieke's family. Tragedy and grief, viewed retrospectively, have rendered the subsequent glory of life all the more glorious. Life would have been unlivable, and this book unreadable, were they a mere cosmic pity party. After enduring a full circle along the rim of hell on Earth; and having survived almost in tact, hopefully this book will portray the Riekes' ascension to the glory that has been most of the familys, and Otto's own precarious existence on planet Earth. The author's essentially privileged, fulfilling, and competitive existence (prior to the anguishing events of mid-life), are narrated fully from birth with a comedic flair, and did prepare him for the survival of the really tough stuff. The Rieke's did not just endure it all, but have thrived, and have ascended time and again. Life continues as a search for the ultimate Truth, and for the Glory that is only Gods to possess completely. The family lives to seek its share of that glory. It is Otto's hope that this book is fun and non-controversial. He has attempted to accomplish that by staying on topics about which he claims expertise: politics, religion, and sex. If anything he says offends you, then you need to, either: 1. Repent, OR, 2. Sue him He apologizes only to those who were not offended, but who should have been. The author further hopes that you take the slight as it was intended, and hurt all the more. However, seriously, it is also hoped that this book is as entertaining as the exuberant feeling that its writing experience has given Otto. Family is who the Rieke's are. Family is the root of our society, and the family home is the first and most important school that our children will forever attend. Our parents are the first and the most important teachers that our children will forever have. Otto's stunning, wonderful wife of an earlier twenty five years, and of such unpretentious beauty, Mary Beth, and Otto raised five absolutely beautiful children, all of whom have encountered life very successfully. They are successful most of all by being good and loving people, as well as in all their spiritual, academic, athletic, personal, and professional endeavors. All of the Rieke children graduated from St Peters Catholic grade school, and local high schools, Rockhurst, St Teresas, and Notre Dame de Sion, all of which are in Kansas City, Mo. They and their spouses subsequently have graduated from various universities, including Rockhurst University, Central Missouri State University, Tulsa University, Syracuse University School of Journalism, Missouri University Medical School, St Louis University, The Medical School of Washington University in St Louis, Dartmouth College Medical School, and finally a post residency Fellow at the Harvard School of Medicine. The Rieke children, including their respective spouses are blessed beyond what would seem possible all in one family. The calamities referred to above, and subsequent grief, have chronologically seemed to coincide with - and maybe have been the genesis of, a subsequently inspired inner spiritual strength - indeed an almost supernatural strength to survive. Persistent strings of well earned successes at all personal levels of character, and by all worldly measure, might well be rooted in the strength of the Riekes' souls to survive. The family members have ascended to new lives with the strength to carry on, to love, and indeed to thrive. That, and the authors love relationships with them all, is the grandeur, the glory, of this book. No names have been changed to protect the innocent; there are none. Otto has an unparalleled flair to entertain, and to tell riveting stories with great passion. He will seize your very soul. If you can remain calmly seated while reading this book, then it is a failure. Get ready for the ride. |

Like wise, before a hurricane, there is comfort in the strength of design and construction. Similarly, large trees with huge trunks can be toppled due to shallow roots. People are no different - unless your roots are well developed, then the storms of life may have you blowing in the wind or cracking under pressure. The Roots of Character details this development process to help individuals create and maintain a stable and productive life. Additionally, this book includes character develop exercised that will allow you to discover who you are while simultaneously documenting who you want to become. These exercises are thought provoking and will give you a personal revelation about why you do what you do; more importantly, it will start you on the path to do what you need you to do to maintain a lifestyle of development. |
| test of righteousness wow: Blessed, Balanced & Complete Heriberto Alonso, 2008-09 Are you tired of your life being out of balance? Tired of the struggle that no matter how many things you try juggling at once, you always seem to fall behind? Then the catch-up causes you to get all stressed out and the cycle seems to never end? You've taken stress courses, gone on vacations, practiced yoga, and read magazines in your doctor's or dentist's office...all to no avail. Well, rather than continue to punish yourself with this never ending, vicious cycle, learn the simple truth from this book - that life does not need to be lived this way. In this book, Heriberto Hery Alonso will show you: - The proper order of priorities to help get and keep your life well-balanced. - The importance of these priorities and detailed elaboration on them. - Guidance to running the race of life better and finishing your goals/projects. - How to live with an attitude that will provide a strong mindset and help you get back up each time after a setback...without beating yourself up. - How to continue hoping when all hope is gone. - Guidance to single women desiring a future husband without wasting more time. - How to deal with life's inevitable scenarios (Imperfections, Waiting, & Working). Most people do try to maintain a balanced life. While the efforts are there, most times it's like chasing the wind because they are not focusing on what's truly important. The approach I present in Blessed, Balanced & Complete, drawn from my own personal experiences and biblical principles, goes far beyond the simple attempts to acquire balance. A must read! |

| test of righteousness wow: Outreach Don Babin, 2017-03-15 OUTREACH is a motivational, biblical and inspiring scriptural approach to reaching out to others. This is our biblical mandate, but sometimes we need a holy nudge. It is my prayer that by the time you finish reading this book your thinking will have changed a little concerning evangelism. The word 'repent' simply means to change our thinking. It has been my prayer we repent about the way we think about outreach and evangelism. It seems to me the ones who still care about the lost are the new believers. Somehow in the midst of serving Jesus, we have lost the burden He has for those He came to 'seek and to save.' New believers usually make the best soul winners ever. It might be because they have such a burden for those they love who have not discovered what Jesus can do for them. The tragedy is they hang around those of us who have grown cold toward the lost and before you know it they become just like us. I am not sure why that is, but the new believers have much more of a passion for their lost friends then those who have been 'around church' for a while. |
