What do you do when the reality you've always known lays in shambles at your feet? The foundation you've built your life upon is just shifting sand instead of rock solid?That's where I found myself at fifty-seven years old...in bondage to the trauma of childhood sexual abuse. And I did the only thing I knew to do: trust the Lord Jesus Christ to walk with me through the death of all I thought was true to life and freedom. Rose of Grace is not only my story but also my process of how God brought me from an emotionally brokenhearted little girl to an emotionally healthy woman.Why? Why would I go public with such a shocking secret that my parents never even knew? One reason: to tell the TRUTH of how good Jesus Christ really is. If the world knew the TRUTH, we would be running and jumping over each other to get to Him! But instead, we believe the lies darkness tells us, and we run from Him and our true selves to hide in shame.Come explore with me the wonders of learning to live free in Jesus Christ. He's better than you ever dreamed. And His loving power to heal our ravaged hearts is beyond comprehension. You or someone you know may need to hear the good news!Jesus Christ is mighty to save!

Zara Banks struggled for years to find her purpose in life. After asking and seeking God to give her direction on how to overcome the tragedies and challenges she faced, Zara began to truly surrender everything to the King of kings. Forgiving those who had abused her, asking forgiveness, and repenting from her own sins, Zara began to realize what freedom really felt like. For a long time, Zara questioned why God would allow so much to happen to her, not fully understanding there is a real enemy who comes to kill, steal, and destroy.After a massive encounter with Holy Spirit in January of 2018, Zara was undeniably forever changed. She was instantly delivered from lifelong addictions, abuse, and wrong believing. Soon came a whirlwind of events, followed by miracles, signs, and wonders; those around Zara also saw what following Jesus Christ could do to a life that was once lost. From being blessed with a quarter-million-dollar home, paid in full, to miraculous healings, Zara began living a life straight out of the book of Acts. Realizing the same Holy Spirit that raised Jesus from the grave now lived inside of her, Zara never looked back. Her heart was completely surrendered to the Lord, and her life was no longer her own. As blessings continued to pour down on Zara, her humility became the very force that allowed her to touch and influence so many others.What the enemy intended to use to destroy Zara became the very strength the Lord used to bring her to life. Zara was once Broken Not Shattered, but when she surrendered everything to the Creator of the Universe, she became Healed not broken!"The story of Zara continues to amaze me. Her life shows beautifully how God can and wants to use the broken. The way God grew Zara and held her hand through all the challenges she faced is an encouragement to all of us. This story is proof that to know God is to spend time with Him and seek Him. Zara is an inspiration that God truly does go after His one."--Anja Blatter

miracle (n.) An extraordinary event manifesting divine intervention in human affairs.This is a word that gets tossed around a lot. The thing is, miracles do occur and occur often, if you are willing to look for them. God never turns away from us, even when it seems like our world is falling apart. He is always right there, helping us back up to our feet.God's love and faithfulness is what gave me the strength to move forward when I awoke in an ICU and was told my husband and oldest son had been killed.Miracles are what kept me treading water when I was briefed on the very slim chances my other two children would make a full recovery. The chances of my son's mere survival were nonexistent.I was unwilling to accept anything the doctors told me. I knew in my heart that God had us and my babies would be okay. I steadied my heart, set my jaw; I prayed, and I asked others to pray.God has taken care of us every single step of our journey and continues to today.Our story is not over. We survived, we are healing, we are pushing forward, we are living.We are waiting on the next miracle.
There were many encouragements to Ken during his five-year diary called Ken's Greatest Challenge, many heartfelt and inspirational messages from family, friends, coworkers, students, those who knew Ken, and those who knew about Ken.This guestbook is a collection of these messages that were all read by Ken.

We were like the "Lafayette Escadrille" flying our aircraft with precision and cunning like the World War I volunteer pilots, scarves around our necks, looking for a chance to even the score for that day's fighting. Known as the "Purple Gang." those we supported knew that when the Purple Gang were on call, they would be protected and had the best chance to come back from their mission alive.Later in life, as we gathered as old pilots, at my home near Charlotte comparing our lives; we realized that we had more in common than we could ever have known. The hand of God was evident as we told our war stories and life stories.We laughed, we cried, and the love for each other was so evident that we vowed to repeat our reunion again within the next year or so. Little did we know that one of our own present that weekend would die that December, the first in our band of brothers to fall after all this time. All of us will miss you, John Houston; we called him "Howdy."
Doubts and fears, like a tangled web, seize each day. New threats and what-ifs become unwanted companions. Rushing through life and pursuing busy work becomes the norm until one morning the words "come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest" (Matthew 11:28 NIV) resound in my ears. This is a promise from Jesus. Could he be talking to me? Is he really El Roi, the God who sees? Does he really draw near? Pushing away from my desk, I glare out the window. The whole world is buzzing with life. It is like a drama unfolding. The walk is invigorating. His presence surrounds me. Focusing on him overrides those doubts and fears; they begin to flee. There is a closeness to him I've not felt as he calls me to reset. Words of assurance float through my mind from Psalm 46:10: "Be still and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth." Now it seems everything I see reminds me of his great love and his abiding presence. My prayer is you will find him faithful to untangle your doubt and fears and restore your joy as you journey through this little book, Reset.

These Guardians are chosen by an all-powerful being called the Light and are each connected to a different celestial body, granting them special powers to help in their assigned task.However, when the last Ruler died, the Light mysteriously did not choose a successor; and since the Ruler was connected to the sun, the sun itself stopped shining as well, plunging Luminous into a Long Night that has lasted nine years.During this time, a scientist named Saul Leos took the throne by force and is now leading a campaign to abandon the Light.

I believe that children should be taught early in life to pray. If children are taught early in life to pray and understand what they are praying about, then they will not depart from it.Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it!Proverb 22:6It would be good if we all took a little time to pray, so that we would have a good relationship with God, in doing this it may help us to love others as selves.
Time to Pray is a book designed to improve believers' prayer life in Jesus Christ. This book will provide information to inspire the reader to seek revelation in order to bring transformation in their prayer time with the Lord. Time to Pray serves as a reminder that prayer time is now. Many believers desire change in their personal lives, family, and community, yet they forget to pray. Time to Pray is a reminder for us not to forget one of the most powerful spiritual weapons in our spiritual tool box: prayer. Time to Pray is not a quick-fix book. It is a tool to help believers strengthen their prayer life in order to enhance the principles, precepts, and promises given by God as we walk in obedience to his command for us to pray. The practical yet profound principles discussed will shine new light to the readers' understanding of prayer and help facilitate a new hunger for intimate time with the God through his Son, Jesus the Christ.
This book was inspired by true events.Confirming the word of God in the King James Bible stating, "For nothing is hidden that will not be made manifested nor is anything secret that will not be known and come to light" (Luke 8:17), secrets are similar to a cow in the pasture that thinks he's free. God knows the secrets of the heart. Having an honest conversation with God can change anyone's life.Proverbs 28:13 tells us, "Whoever conceals his transgressions will not prosper but he who confesses and forsakes them will obtain mercy." Amen.
Poetry has been part of most of my adult life. To me, it is there for every person as they experience life.Only some, however, pause enough to see it and then take the time to write it down. Each person's experiences are also uniquely individualistic. So I hope that at least a few of these poems speak to you and connect with some of your own life experiences and then maybe even bring a smile, a new insight, or a tear. There are seven chapters in this book. I have attempted to slot each poem into one of the chapters that I felt was best matched with the poem. However, in reality, I am sure that some poems could have been seen in more than one chapter. Creative thoughts can't necessarily fit into a nice and simple niche.
Why are some families more blessed than others? Why do some families flourish where others fail? Pastor Michael Annancy reveals powerful guidelines and truths from scriptures that enforce the success of children and families everywhere. When a child understands the importance of honoring their parents and those in authority, even when they are past the age of simply obeying what they say (although obeying one's parents cannot be separated from honoring one's parents), they unlock incredible blessings and the promise of living well and living a long life on earth while breaking the destructive chains in their lives here and now. In this book, they will uncover how parents can be well-informed to follow God's ultimate plan for their lives. Children are a blessing from God. Parents have a part to play to get them to the point where the children leave home so they can reach and meet their target. Just because a parent made it does not mean the child will make it. They have to be taught and trained and learn the secret of true freedom, for this is right. 1
Spiritual Enlightenment is a collection of poems that deals with spiritual teachings, relationships, and human interactions that invokes dialogue for the betterment of humanity. Furthermore, it is my intent to awaken social consciousness through my poetry that encourages self-introspection and spirituality.
When my son died, he was six years old. The day we buried him, the Lord and my son came and paid for his funeral. Three months later, the Lord took me to heaven, I found my son and had a short conversation with him, and the Lord talked to me and gave me some messages to give to the world. It was not a near-death experience!2
What is most important is that I hope you were inspirited by the story. There is way too much negativity in the air these days, and it is my hope and prayer that the story spoke to you in a positive way. If every day were like Christmas, "what a wonderful world this would be!"ImagineOur once homeless people have jobs and a place to live.Our veterans and elderly are being cared for as they should be.Our streets and schools would be safe for all children.Our world is at peace."Let there be peace on Earth, and let it begin with me."
A longtime friend who raised four daughters had just welcomed their first grandson into the family. She made a special request of the author to write down any thoughts or advice she could give to her grandson as he grew up. After a month and a half of prayer, the Lord began to reveal what was to be shared with the young child. The following seventeen faith experiences over a period of sixty years were never intended to be a book. The Holy Spirit moving others to inquire caused the author to consider publishing those experiences.A lifelong journey of personal encounters with the Holy Spirit that range from seemingly ordinary to the extraordinary. Direct encounters with God's angels that saved the life of the author on four occasions. Later, four individual occurrences where the angels made their presence known upon request, providing real evidence to the author. Plenty of proof that God exists on a personal level. Additional proof at other times such as the following:*Comfort during times of grief*Peace and provision knowing that God was in control*Provision when most needed*Protection such as a saved life multiple times*Gratitude for being watched over*Guidance when most needed*Vision on His plans*Blessings when least expected*Affirmation to keep going*Healing when the body needed it*Rescued during dark times*God's testimony of provision*Confirmation of His presence*Revelation in order to carry out His plansWalking with Angels is a testimony of a regular guy's life as he details how the Lord guided, protected, and directed his path. It's a culmination of events that leaves the reader encouraged, inspired, and uplifted.Every reader will walk away from these faith experiences knowing there's hope in all of life's circumstances.
Time is nothing more than a series of brief moments strung together by life. For many, those brief moments during their life's timeline are composed of a mixture of emotions-i.e., happiness, sadness, solitude, disbelief, and denial. Hopefully, this book will bring peace and enjoyment to you, the reader, allowing reflection within your own life and at times, perhaps even give you a new and/or different perspective of awareness into various other people's lives. Its reflection of past and current-day stories, in a poetic format, will enlighten your thinking and perhaps become one of your new favorite reads for both entertainment and inspiration.
