Soulish Christians - Believers that need to be reminded that having spiritual experience does not render us spiritual. Only after we have been delivered from both sin and self can we be accounted spiritual.
Nicodemus, a Pharisee and Jewish leader, comes to Jesus at night. He acknowledges Jesus' signs as coming from God. Jesus tells Nicodemus that no one can see the kingdom of God without being "born from above." Nicodemus does not understand how someone can be born again. Jesus explains that one must be born of water and spirit. He says this spiritual birth is like the wind - invisible but real. Jesus tells Nicodemus that as Moses lifted up the serpent, so the Son of Man must be lifted up so that all who believe in him may have eternal life.
The document describes Peter's vision of being told by God not to call unclean what he has made clean. This leads Peter to visit Cornelius, a Roman centurion. When Peter preaches to Cornelius and others, the Holy Spirit falls upon them, astonishing the Jewish believers present. Peter realizes God has shown him to no longer see Gentiles as impure. Cornelius and the others are then baptized in the name of Jesus Christ.
This document discusses Jesus' encounter with a rich young man as recorded in Mark 10:17-31. In the encounter, Jesus tells the man that to inherit eternal life he must sell his possessions and follow Him. When the man walks away sad, Jesus uses it as a teaching moment for the disciples that it is difficult for the rich to enter the kingdom of God. The document emphasizes that true riches are found in following Jesus rather than material wealth, and that with God all things are possible.
While scholars differ on the specifics of Revelation 20, the general message is clear. Christ will return and establish His kingdom, reward His people, and judge all that is unrighteous.
The document discusses beliefs about heaven, describing it as the final home for Christians. It provides details about heaven from various biblical passages, portraying it as a place of glory, beauty, and joy where believers will be with God and see his face. The document emphasizes that through faith in Jesus, believers have assurance of their heavenly citizenship and will be spared from death through resurrection to eternal life in heaven.
This prayer asks God in heaven to be honored and for his kingdom and will to be established on earth. It requests daily provision and forgiveness of sins as we forgive others. It asks God not to allow temptation but to rescue from evil.

We praise God first for who he is, then what He has done and what is yet to come. Revelation is God's preview that any worldly system built on principles other than God's will go under and His Kingdom will come.
This document contains daily affirmations from Psalms for 30 days. Each day focuses on a short phrase beginning with "I will" such as "I will pray", "I will come into thy house", "I will praise the Lord".

Malleable, Flexible and Ready to be UsedDr. Joy Allen
Many claim they want to be used by God, but aren't willing to be molded by Him. We cannot pick and choose our assignments. Holiness comes with obedience and adherence to God's will, rather than our own.
The document discusses how God works in unseen ways and will provide guidance, strength, and vision during difficult times. It expresses faith that God will create something new and that his word will endure even when all else passes away.
The passages from Exodus describe God commanding Moses to build an ark made of acacia wood and overlayed with gold. It would hold the tablets with the Ten Commandments and have a gold mercy seat with two cherubim. Poles were added to carry the ark, which represented God's presence among the Israelites. The design served the function of atonement, as the mercy seat stood between God's holiness and the people's sin, showing how God's love provided a way through forgiveness. Ultimately, God's goal was fellowship with His people, not just forgiveness, but it had to be on His terms through the restrictions of the ark and atonement cover.
The document summarizes a sermon preparation experience where the author was working on a sermon at a bookstore and ended up preaching to a stranger who sat down at their table. It reflects on how our pulpits are not confined to churches but can be found anywhere, and calls Christians to share the light of the Gospel wherever darkness is found. The second part discusses several passages from the Gospel of John related to the Holy Spirit and Pentecost.
The document discusses that the Christian life is ultimately about heaven. It summarizes that heaven will be a place without suffering where God will wipe away all tears. It describes Jesus as the way and gate to heaven - there is only one way to enter heaven, which is through faith in Jesus. The document urges readers to make sure they know God and are prepared to enter heaven through Jesus.
David owuor revival in kisii sat sept 17 2011Juan Gil Egidio
- A revival meeting was held in Kisii, Kenya on September 17, 2011 where thousands gathered.

- The heavens opened during worship and it began to rain, with the sun still shining, just as the pastor had prophesied would happen.
- Bishops and pastors from around the world witnessed the outpouring of God's spirit. The meeting marked a fulfillment of the end times revival prophesied by
The document summarizes the key points of the "Roman Road" approach to explaining salvation through Jesus Christ. It outlines that all people have sinned and fall short of God's standards but God provided a free gift of eternal life through Jesus, who lived a perfect life and died to pay the penalty for sins. It concludes that if one believes in their heart that God raised Jesus from the dead and confesses with their mouth that Jesus is Lord, they will be saved and call on the name of the Lord.
The document discusses fear and courage from a biblical perspective. It references several passages from the books of Mark and 1 John that discuss not being perfected in love if living in fear. It states that God uses fear as a tool, like a carpenter, and that people are made by God, not by their own courage or strength of will. It also discusses passages where Jesus urges or commands his disciples to get in a boat during a storm, questioning their fearfulness. The overall message seems to be that having faith in God can help overcome fear and that fear can prevent one from seeing what God is offering.
The document discusses the biblical story from 2 Kings 7 about how King Jehoram of Israel reacted with anger and hopelessness to a prophecy of future prosperity, while Elisha and others maintained hope in God's word. It highlights how God often answers prayers in unexpected ways using unlikely sources, and how maintaining an attitude of hope even in dark times can lead to recognizing God's answers when they come.
This document appears to be a collection of loosely related quotes and figures from the Bible and history. It includes a quote from Romans about civil authorities bearing the sword as God's ministers to execute wrath on evildoers. It then lists some famous law enforcement figures like J. Edgar Hoover and criminals they pursued. It draws a parallel between Abraham Lincoln and the biblical figure Jephthah, noting ways they were similar. It also includes information about General Daniel Sickles. The document does not provide much context or connection between these various pieces of information.
This document discusses God's attribute of faithfulness through several Bible passages. It notes that while men can be faithless, God remains faithful and that it is better to trust in God than in man. The Bible contains stories of faithless men who were still used by God. God's faithfulness cannot be denied. Additional passages discussed include 1 Kings 17, Hebrews 11, and Proverbs 11:24 about generosity leading to riches.
This document discusses God's attribute of faithfulness through several Bible passages. It notes that while men can be faithless, God remains faithful and that it is better to trust in God than in man. The document encourages trusting in God, citing passages that discuss God moving faithless men and blessing those who trust in Him. It concludes with a passage from Proverbs about generosity leading to riches.
The document discusses the biblical letter of Philemon. It was written by Paul to Philemon, a pastor, asking him to accept back Onesimus, Philemon's runaway slave. Onesimus had become a Christian after meeting Paul in prison. Paul pleads for Philemon to forgive Onesimus and treat him not as a slave but as a brother in Christ. The document emphasizes God's grace and the importance of forgiveness.
This document discusses the attribute of wisdom in the Bible. It defines wisdom as foundational and necessary to navigate life. True wisdom comes from fearing God and asking Him for wisdom. In contrast, worldly wisdom is described as self-seeking, envious, boastful, sensual and demonic. God's wisdom is characterized as pure, peaceable, gentle and full of mercy. The document encourages seeking wisdom, which walks as Jesus walked and has many benefits like preserving, honoring and adding years to one's life. Wisdom is portrayed as a learned process involving controlling appetites, keeping one's word, and evaluating motives.
This document contains excerpts from speeches given by Billy Graham when receiving the Congressional Gold Medal in 1996. In the speeches, Graham says that America has gone down the wrong path and needs God's help. He acknowledges that all people are sinners but that Christ's sacrifice offers forgiveness to those who accept it, though it will cost them to follow Him. The document also contains contrasts between the wisdom of this age and God's wisdom, and messages communicated by the world versus God's message.
This document provides a summary of Acts chapters 24-25. It discusses Paul's hearing before Felix in Caesarea, where the high priest Tertullus accuses Paul of causing trouble. Felix delays making a decision. After two years, Festus replaces Felix as governor. When Paul appeals to Caesar, Festus discusses the case with King Agrippa. Paul declares his innocence and tells of his vision and mission to the Gentiles. The king is almost persuaded to become a Christian.
The document discusses how every cross given to a person by God has certain characteristics and serves as a teacher. It states that a cross teaches sacrificial love, focus, submission, wisdom, boundaries, and reveals God. It also notes that through enduring one's cross, a person can gain success through failure, comfort through hardship, strength through weakness, wisdom through confusion, and new life through dying daily.
The document discusses peace amid hysteria from Acts 22:1-29. It contrasts life with and without God's Word. With God's Word, one finds conversion, wisdom, joy and enlightenment, while without it leads to hysteria, confusion and lack of reason. It notes historical examples of "uproar". It encourages understanding God's will through Scripture and finding revival through God's Word when afflicted for keeping it, as maintaining peace requires removing hysteria through reason and sobriety of mind found in following Christ.
This document discusses themes from Acts 21:1-14 related to having a shepherd's heart like Jesus. It notes that as Christians traveled with Paul from Macedonia to Jerusalem, Paul warned them that imprisonment awaited him in Jerusalem. However, the Christians encouraged Paul to continue his ministry, trusting that God's will would be done. The document emphasizes that a good shepherd, like Jesus, is willing to sacrifice and care for their flock.

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375

Calling sees the finish line Equipping runs the daily race
21. OBEDIENCE IS…
• Learned uncomfortably.
• Acquired by those who volunteer for that
which threatens.
• Progressive and perfected one challenge
at a time.
• Made easier by courage practiced over
and over again.
22. “Christians shouldn’t
be afraid of failure.
They should fear
success at something
God never called
them to do.”
Francis Chan
