Across a year's worth of weekly reflections, Gordon Giles focuses on objects, scenes, activities and places, drawing out spiritual insights to help us reflect on what we have learned as we venture out again after months of restriction, absence and anxiety.From Easter, through the changing seasons to the following Easter, we are led to consider: What is it like spiritually to stop wearing masks? What does a beach say to us after coronavirus? How has Zoom affected us during lockdown and how do we now relate to technology as a medium of fellowship? Where is Christ amid our restrictions and our releases?

This is the second of Ken's series of novelettes with a spiritual theme. There are three novelettes of the mail order bride movement (Oregon, Montana, and Colorado) and one short story of Australia.

The spirit of rejection tends to attach itself to those that have an unshakeable destiny and identity found in Christ. Since Satan was removed from Heaven, the battle against these violent spirits has been ongoing, and this struggle is a tactic used by the Enemy to paralyze God's children from moving into the purpose He designed for their lives. Are you seeking freedom from the grip of the spirit of rejection? Maybe you have a loved one that goes through cycles of low self-esteem, and you want to help provide them with the tools to move them into seeing themselves from God's perspective. In Victory Over Rejection, Harold Williams Jr. exposes the warning signs of the soul that prompt the need for deliverance and freedom. Within this narrative, Williams delves into some of the greatest characters in biblical history that had to overcome the spirit of rejection. Through them, we realize the strength found in God's acceptance and love.We have obtained the victory over the spirit of rejection through Jesus's sacrifice on the cross, but whether we break free of the Enemy's chains and accept our salvation is up to us. The greatest gift to combat this spirit is that of the Father's love, a love that provides breakthrough after breakthrough despite any hardship. Let's go through this journey together of experiencing God's love and walking into freedom. Partner with the Holy Spirit for your breakthrough today!

We all want to operate in what Jesus operated in-signs, wonders, miracles, healing, prophecy, love, fruit of the Spirit, gifts... So why aren't we able to walk in the fullness of ALL He paid for? And not only paid for, but commanded we do? This book is an invitation to step into a realm bursting with endless possibilities. If you have felt limited, I humbly request the attention of your head and heart, your soul and your spirit man, to journey a little further into what has not yet been revealed to it; to remove the limits (no matter who or what put them there!) and flow from the womb of God's desires, which is indeed limitless! Take a journey with me as we begin our Revelatory Encounters to acquire the mission of being God's glory on display from an understanding of real Oneness with the Three in One. So now, I pray Paul's prayer over the Colossians-for you: "That you would access your destiny through all the treasures of your inheritance stored up in the heavenly realm" (Colossians 1:5 TPT). Come on, let's start the journey! Mary

Hvorfor er verdens opmærksomhed fokuseret på det lille land Israel?Hvordan kan mellemøsten opnå sand retfærdighed og fred?Hvordan har Israels historie og fremtid indflydelse på kristne i dag?Disse spørgsmål er blandt de mange, som Derek Prince tager fat på i dette grundige studium af Guds profetier angående Israels land og Israels folk.
