I am familiar with all your ways (Ps. 139:3)--even the very hairs on your head are numbered (Matt. 10:29-31).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou were made in my image (Gen. 1:27). In me you live and move and have your being, for you are my offspring (Acts 17:28). I knew you even before you were conceived (Jer. 1:4-5). I chose you when I planned creation (Eph. 1:11-12). You were not a mistake, for all your days are written in my book (Ps. 139:15-16). I determined the exact time of your birth and where you would live (Acts 17:26). You are fearfully and wonderfully made (Ps. 139:14). I knit you together in your mother's womb (Ps. 139:13), and brought you forth on the day you were born (Ps. 71:6). \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI have been misrepresented by those who don't know me (John 8:41-44). I am not distant and angry, but am the complete expression of love (1 John 4:16). And it is my desire to lavish my love on you, simply because you are my child and I am your Father (1 John 3:1). I offer you more than your earthly father ever could (Matt. 7:11), for I am the perfect Father (Matt. 5:48). Every good gift that you receive comes from my hand (James 1:17), for I am your provider and I meet all your needs (Matt. 6:31-33).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMy plan for your future has always been filled with hope (Jer. 29:11), because I love you with an everlasting love (Jer. 31:3). My thoughts toward you are as countless as the sand on the seashore (Ps. 139:17-18), and I rejoice over you with singing (Zeph. 3:17). I will never stop doing good to you (Jer. 32:40), for you are my treasured possession (Ex. 19:5).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI desire to establish you with all my heart and all my soul (Jer. 32:41), and I want to show you great and marvelous things (Jer. 33:3). If you seek me with all your heart, you will find me (Deut. 4:29); delight in me and I will give you the desires of your heart (Ps. 37:4), for it is I who gave you those desires (Phil. 2:13).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI am able to do more for you than you could possibly imagine (Eph. 3:20), for I am your greatest encourager (2 Thess. 2:16-17). I am also the Father who comforts you in all your troubles (2 Cor. 1:3-4). When you are brokenhearted, I am close to you (Ps. 34:18); as a shepherd carries a lamb, I have carried you close to my heart (Isa. 40:11). One day I will wipe away every tear from your eyes, and I will take away all the pain you have suffered on this earth (Rev. 21:3-4).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI am your Father, and I love you even as I love my Son, Jesus (John 17:23). In him, my love for you is revealed (John 17:26). He is the exact representation of my being (Heb. 1:3). He came to demonstrate that I am for you, not against you (Rom. 8:31), and to tell you that I am not counting your sins against you. Jesus died so that you and I could be reconciled (2 Cor. 5:18-19). His death was the ultimate expression of my love for you (1 John 4:10): I gave up everything I loved that I might gain your love (Rom. 8:31-32).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you receive the gift of my Son, Jesus, you receive me (1 John 2:23), and nothing will ever separate you from my love again (Rom. 8:38-39). Come home and I'll throw the biggest party heaven has ever seen (Luke 15:7). I have always been Father and will always be Father (Eph. 3:14-15). My question is: will you be my child (John 1:12-13)? I am waiting for you (Luke 15:11-32).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLove, \u003cbr\u003eYour Dad\u003cbr\u003e(Almighty God)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cem\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFinding our way home.\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/em\u003e We were born cut-off from God because of our sin (Isa. 59:2), but God the Father made a way for us to come home through his Son.

I want you to enter into this series on the Gifts of the Holy Spirit, with your Bible open and with an open mind, as the Holy Spirit Himself becomes our teacher. It is He who holds the key to a successful, fruitful and victorious Christian life and through His gifts, we glorify God's Son, Jesus Christ. There are two extremes which we face today as we come to the subject of spiritual gifts. First of all, there is abuse.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSome have brought a reproach upon the wonderful work of the Holy Spirit because of their misappropriation of the supernatural power of the Spirit. I think most of us could cite examples of fanaticism arising around this doctrine; and because this doctrine has suffered much abuse, there is the second extreme: the average child of God has neglected it and does not know the teaching of the word of God in the matter of spiritual gifts. Lest he be deemed a fanatic or thought to run to the same excesses to which many have gone, the average Christian shies away from the teaching of the word of God in his quest for spiritual gifts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNothing is as powerful as the written word of God. If I say one thing and the Bible teaches another, the Bible is right. If your church or pastor teaches one thing and the Bible says another, the Bible is right. Sometimes I think it's the hardest thing in the world for folk to turn away from their preconceived ideas and come back again to the word of God. It will be a wonderful day when all professing Christians, regardless of denomination, get back to the Word of God, back again to \"thus saith the Lord.\" We have so much 'churchology, ' so much theory, so much creed. There is too much of man's doctrine and too little of \" thus saith the Lord.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"display:none\"\u003eISBN-13: 9798215995754\u003cbr\u003eAuthor: Kuhlman, Kathryn\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Kathryn Kuhlman\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Kathryn Kuhlman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback (Nov 2022)","offer_id":46079779012805,"sku":"9798215995754","price":10.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/6414\/2533\/files\/9798215995754.jpg?v=1776031754"},{"product_id":"the-prodigal-god-discussion-guide-finding-your-place-at-the-table","title":"The Prodigal God Discussion Guide: Finding Your Place at the Table","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn this six-session small group Bible study, pastor and bestselling author Timothy Keller uses one of Jesus' best-loved parables - the Prodigal Son - to illustrate the depth of God's love and how his grace extends into some very unexpected places.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTaking you beyond the traditional focus on the wayward younger son, Keller helps you glean insights from each of the characters in Jesus' parable: the irreligious younger son, the moralistic elder son, and the Father who lavishes his love on both.

You are. Despite the fact that we are the crowning glory of the creation of God, created to live and bring glory and honor to the Lord Jesus Christ, we are instead hostile and disobedient toward the one by whom and for whom we were created. \"All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned--every one--to his own way\" (Isaiah 53:6). The Bible calls this disobedience toward God \"sin,\" and it says that \"all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God\" (Romans 3:23).

There is no other means by which we can be made right with God. \"There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved\" (Acts 4:12).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Bible says, \"For our sake [God] made him [Jesus] to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God\" (2 Corinthians 5:21). There was nothing else that could have been done that would have allowed God to be righteous and also the one who makes us right.

The book describes how prayer during extended fasts can heal the body and soul, and bring practitioners greater spiritual power to exalt and glorify Jesus Christ.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFranklin Hall was born in Coffeyville, Kansas, in 1909. Hall's father died when Franklin was only twelve, leaving him distraught with both his loss and the responsibility of supporting his mother and five younger siblings. During these hard times, he looked to the local Pentecostal church for guidance. The church became a major influence on the lives of the young Hall children and their widowed mother, who remarried the reverend soon after.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHall began his own traveling ministry during the Great Depression. But he didn't become well known among evangelicals until the release of his first book, Atomic Power With God Thru Fasting and Prayer, in 1946.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the book, Hall described his own introduction to fasting and prayer through friendship with a Oklahoma family advocating the practice in 1932. He fasted and prayed with them in anticipation of a large revival-and at the ensuing event, \"scores of people were healed of all types of afflictions.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHe became convinced of the power of fasting and began to preach its efficacy as he traveled. In 1946, a group of \"Holy Ghost people\" began a long session of prayer and fasting, lasting between ten and forty days. According to Hall, they experienced a great spiritual awakening. Some even found healing of physical ailments during the fast. As word of the event spread, Hall found that there was heavy demand for more information about the power of fasting and prayer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLater that same year, Hall wrote Atomic Power. The book explores how fasting intensifies prayer by \"[bringing] unity and [filling] us with the glory of God.\" Through the combination of these two acts, he believed one could enhance their \"spiritual appetites\" and curtail their hunger, sex, and greed appetites-thereby uncovering their \"spiritual atomic power with God that lies available to every Christian.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHall acknowledged that fasting and prayer were not new. Beyond the multiple examples from the Bible, and specifically from the life of Christ, he cited the fasting and prayer of Native Americans and Muslims who abstained from food as a regular part of their devotional exercises.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn addition to the why of fasting, the book explained how one should fast. A complete fast, Hall wrote, should last from the time hunger leaves to the time hunger returns-usually 21 to 40 days. Water should be consumed in abundance to clean out the stomach and intestines of waste. And when it's time to break the fast, Hall provided a detailed breakdown of what to eat and when.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAtomic Power brought success and notoriety to Hall, who continued to travel across the country evangelizing to crowds of up to 5,000 people. Immediately after Atomic Power, he published The Fasting Prayer in 1947 and Glorified Fasting: The ABC of Fasting in 1948. He published a total of 17 books during his lifetime. Hall and his wife, Helen, founded the Hall Deliverance Foundation in the mid-1950s. This alliance of churches and ministries followed Hall's teachings for fasting and prayer. The couple also started Miracle Word, a ministry newsletter that had 24,000 subscribers worldwide at its peak. Some other evangelists and Pentecostals did not agree with Hall's teachings. Still, fasting had staunch believers through the 1950s and beyond, including some notable evangelists like Gordon Lindsay, William Branham, and Orval Jaggers. Hall's work has now been inspiring Christians to explore the benefits of fasting on their physical and spiritual health for over 70 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"display:none\"\u003eISBN-10: 1946774863\u003cbr\u003eISBN-13: 9781946774866\u003cbr\u003eAuthor: Hall, Franklin\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Quick Time Press\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Quick Time Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback (May 2020)","offer_id":46080639533253,"sku":"9781946774866","price":5.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/6414\/2533\/files\/9781946774866.jpg?v=1776039205"},{"product_id":"man-myth-messiah-answering-historys-greatest-question","title":"Man, Myth, Messiah: Answering History's Greatest Question","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDid Jesus Really Exist?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe search for the historical Jesus continues to be headline news.

It is considered an essential resource for Alpha guests as well as the host and helpers on Alpha.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlpha creates an environment of hospitality where people can bring their friends, family, and work colleagues to explore the Christian faith, ask questions, and share their point of view. Alpha makes it easy to invite friends to have spiritual conversations which explore life's biggest questions in a safe and respectful way.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlpha's approach to hospitality, faith, and discussion is designed to welcome everyone, especially those who might not describe themselves as Christians or church-goers. Each session includes time for a large group meal, short teaching, and small group discussion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"display:none\"\u003eISBN-10: 1938328825\u003cbr\u003eISBN-13: 9781938328824\u003cbr\u003eAuthor: Gumbel, Nicky\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Harperchristian Resources\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Harperchristian Resources","offers":[{"title":"Paperback (Dec 2017)","offer_id":46081217069253,"sku":"9781938328824","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/6414\/2533\/files\/9781938328824.jpg?v=1776044039"},{"product_id":"the-price-of-gods-miracle-working-power","title":"The Price of God's Miracle Working Power","description":"\u003cp\u003eAfter World War 2, there was a major revival movement where healing ministry played a huge part with renewed belief and emphasis in divine healing among many Christians.
