listen to on an ongoing conversation between the directee and God. The Holy Spirit has already been at work in the directee’s life before the direction session and will continue to be at work after the session is over. Typical spiritual direction questions are "Where is God in this?" or "Where has God gone and why don't I sense any divine presence at all?" It is important that "spiritual direction arises out of inviting and listening to God." One thing I learn and need to remind myself constantly is

director is to listen to on an ongoing conversation between the directee and God. The Holy Spirit has already been working in the life of directee before the session and will continue to be at work after the session is over. The emphasis of spiritual direction will be to enhance the relationship between the directee and God. In a spiritual direction session, typical questions asked are "Where is God in this?" or "Where has God gone and why don't I sense any divine presence at all?" I learn to know

fact that God hears the cries of these people—he is not ignoring their pain. In fact, God is qualifying adherents to take up the torch and help make a change for their fellow man (Baker, 36). We, as humanity, are all flawed, thus we must be willing to help each other. The Bible says that Christ holds all creation together through the Holy Spirit (Col. 1:17). Thus, we assert that God is actively working in the world for his purposes. If this is so, believers can hold fast to the fact that “God has back

MODEL” FOR DISCIPLESHIP Introduction As Christian disciple makers, we would do well to remember that merely developing a curriculum simply for the purpose of conveying information will not suffice. God created us in His image, and just as Jesus loved us and commanded us to love our God with all our heart, mind and soul (Mark 12:30), those whom we disciple and teach need the engagement of all three aspects of their humanity to fully grasp the depth of God’s Word. The importance of developing

ruler of most individual hearts. Spirits come from two distinct sources. Every spirit that confesses Jesus Christ is of God, and every that does otherwise is not of God. The spirit that is contrary to Christ is antichrist, which is in the world today (I John 4:1-3). The world today is ruled by the devil who is the one that works in the children of disobedience, disobedience to God and his word. All disobedience is sin, and sin is the root of man’s problem. The evil in the world today is not the result

the wages of sin is death. Partaking of alcohol destroys our souls and our lives. Drunkeness leads to Immorality and sensualness. Christians should live a life full of the spirit of God and we are to be drunk off the spirit and not of wine. Drinking is for the world, and flirting with the world makes us enemies of God.  We already have an enemy of our souls and drinking leads to opening up to demonic realms therefore

The central theme of both John Winthrop’s “City Upon a Hill” and Jonathan Edward’s “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God”, is the prospect of religion in one’s everyday life influencing their future. In order to build up their ideas about acting in a way that pleases the Lord, both these authors use repetition, diction, allusions, and metaphors as a way to build momentum in their speech as they allude to teachings of the bible and their diction install a notion of uncertainty. However, while Winthrop

tangible shell in which we live, made up of organs, broken down to tissues, further divided into cells, which are comprised of molecules, which are made up of energy. This energy is God, our spiritual being: the part of ourselves that ultimately matters. When we accept God, He dwells within us. If we do not accept God, we close ourselves off from fulfillment, both here and in eternal life with our creator. Our emotional being is a little trickier to define than the other two parts of our beings

I did not had what they had. I didnt even know what it was, that they are really happy about. Finally I asked them why they were so happy about and they told me they got a gift from God himself. I couldn’t understand how that was possible. I wanted to be happy too so I just wished that I will receive that gift from God as well. In the beginning of November 2011, my sunday school teacher Yuriy prepared a lesson for us students about Holy Spirit. He also

these two verses. The heart seems to relate to emotions and can impact the spirit. But then emotions are not enough to cure a crushed spirit. According to the Ellicott’s commentary, the spirit of the man is the person that draws his strength from God and God will help him bear up against trouble. A broken spirit is when a person nurses their grief. In Benson Commentary, the spirit is supported by God’s love which allows peace and a bright prospect of future happiness. A wounded spirit is from depression
