Creative glory is the inspirational flow of the Holy Spirit that shines God's life, hope, joy, provision, and wisdom into any situation you may be facing. Best-selling author Joshua Mills explains that when we are in an atmosphere of creative glory, it becomes easy to think new thoughts or receive fresh ideas because we are in the atmosphere of the Creator's heart and mind.

It will guide you to find the right solution to any difficulty or need. The flow of creative glory will lead you in a process of deep growth as you learn to see circumstances and problems in a new light to fulfill the present and future that God desires for you and the world around you.

Es hora de cambiar la forma en que piensas que Dios piensa acerca de ti. Cuando Dios piensa en ti, no está buscando una razón para descalificarte, repudiarte o juzgarte. Él no está esperando que fracases. ¡Nunca! Él es quien nos redime cuando fallamos, el que nos califica y adopta. Somos nosotros los que nos fijamos en nuestros fracasos, no nuestro Padre. Lo que David escribió en el Salmo 139: 17-18 (NTV) sigue siendo cierto hoy: "Qué preciosos son tus pensamientos acerca de mí, ] oh Dios. ¡No se pueden enumerar! Ni siquiera puedo contarlos; ¡suman más que los granos de la arena! Y cuando despierto, ¡todavía estás conmigo!" No hay un momento, ya sea que estés despierto o dormido, en el que Dios no tenga pensamientos salvajes de amor feroz hacia ti. Todo cambia cuando sabes esto y es importante que nunca más lo dudes. Eres ferozmente amada, bien pensada y profundamente querida. >----- It's time to change the way you think God thinks about you. When God thinks about you, He isn't looking for a reason to disqualify, disown, or judge you. He's not watching for you to fail. Never! He is our qualifying, adopting, and redeeming failsafe. We are the ones who fixate on our failures, not our Father. What David wrote in Psalm 139 is still true today: "How precious are your thoughts about me, O God. They cannot be numbered! I can't even count them; they outnumber the grains of sand! And when I wake up, you are still with me!" (17-18 NLT). There is not a moment whether you are awake or asleep that God is not thinking wild thoughts of fierce love towards you. Everything changes when you know this and it's important for you to never doubt it again. You are fiercely loved, well thought of, and deeply wanted. In this 90-day devotional, New York Times bestselling author Lisa Bevere wants to shift your perspective from the concept of being someone who is merely tolerated to someone who is fiercely loved. Each day explores another facet of our identity, truth, and God's intimate connection with His children.

Serving as the "catalyst" of the Pentecostal movement in the twentieth century, William J. Seymour turned a tiny former horse stable in Los Angeles into an international center of revival. Baptism of the Holy Spirit, with the evidence of speaking in tongues, was a major part of the meetings held there, and Seymour led the first organized movement that promoted this experience. At Azusa, blacks, whites, Hispanics, and Europeans all met and worshiped together, crossing formerly impossible cultural lines. "There is no Jew or Gentile, bond or free, in the Azusa Mission," Seymour said. "No instrument that God can use is rejected on account of color or dress or lack of education. This is why God has built up the work." Compiled by Roberts Liardon, author of the bestselling God's Generals series, The Great Azusa Street Revival features historic accounts, eyewitness testimonies to the power of God, and photos capturing the multicultural, worldwide appeal of Seymour and his ministry. Included are many of Seymour's stirring sermons and writings, which are still relevant to believers today. Although the revival was short-lived, it produced and exploded the Pentecostal movement around the world. Today, many denominations attribute their founding to the participants of the Azusa Street church, and countless others are linked to this revival.

This volume collects the visions the author had of the glories of heaven, the home of redeemed souls, as well as visions the depths of hell and the punishment of the lost. This book is a reminder that everyone needs to accept the miracle of salvation before it is too late--and to intercede for those who do not yet know Christ.rist.

"The book of Ruth has captivated Christian believers for centuries, and now the story of this remarkable woman comes to life in the pages of this dramatic retelling"--

Pastor David Tomberlin explains the difference between true, saving grace and counterfeit versions in Grace Is Free, But It Isn't Cheap: Challenging Today's Watered Down Version of Christianity.

La soledad que duele es un enemigo silencioso, y destructor. Se oculta y ataca desde las sombras en el momento más impensado. Es melancolía, es tristeza en el alma que sale por los poros, deforma la cara, y entristece los ojos. La soledad que duele, una vez que se afincó en una persona no se ahuyenta rodeándose intencionalmente de gente, o sumergiéndose en una vorágine de actividades, y mucho menos con el alcohol, las drogas, o compañías eventuales. La soledad que duele puede ser física, emocional, espiritual y hasta virtual. Hay soledad en la vejez, pero la hay también en la juventud. Duele en la falta de pareja, en el abandono, en la viudez y en la soltería. Duele por las noches, y los domingos por la tarde. Duele, aunque se oculte detrás de éxitos eventuales. Duele y dolerá hasta encontrar la conexión por donde fluye la compañía perfecta, la "pieza faltante" en la vida que cambia el entorno, pero lo hace desde el individuo. La pieza faltante que completa el alma, cubre el dolor y lo deshace. >----- The loneliness that hurts is a silent and destructive enemy. It hides and attacks from the shadows at the most unexpected moment. It is melancholy, it is sadness in the soul that comes out through the pores, deforms the face, and saddens the eyes. The loneliness that hurts, once it has settled in a person, cannot be warded off by intentionally surrounding yourself with people, or immersing yourself in a maelstrom of activities, much less with alcohol, drugs, or occasional company. Loneliness that hurts can be physical, emotional, spiritual and even virtual. There is loneliness in old age, but there is also loneliness in youth. It hurts in the lack of a partner, in abandonment, in widowhood and in singleness. It hurts at night, and on Sunday afternoons. It hurts even if it hides behind eventual successes. It hurts and will hurt until you find the connection through which the perfect company flows, the "missing piece" in life that changes the environment but does so from the individual. The missing piece that completes the soul, covers the pain and undoes it. In this book we will reveal each area of ​​loneliness that hurts, and we will isolate it, treating it from the biblical perspective with the help of the Holy Spirit, until it disappears.

¿Alguna vez ha experimentado realmente la presencia de Dios? Si no es así, ¿qué cree que se interpone en el camino? Cuando Moisés se encontró con Dios en la zarza ardiente, eso cambió su vida y su percepción de lo que es Dios. En ese momento en que la zarza ardía, empezó a comprender y a apreciar lo sagrado de la adoración. La adoración apropiada tiene que encajar con lo que estamos adorando; por lo que si adoramos a Dios, debemos hacerlo en sus términos. Esto implica tener un espíritu de reverencia y santidad, como Moisés al quitarse el calzado y arrodillarse ante Él. El fuego de la zarza no atemorizó a Moisés, sino que hizo derramar la esencia de lo sagrado en su vida. Le hizo experimentar la presencia de Dios en una manera que nunca había sentido. Permita que este libro le enseñe cómo encontrar a Dios al igual que Moisés. ----- What Would It Be Like to Encounter God Face-to-Face? Have you ever truly experienced God's presence? If not, what do you think is getting in the way? When Moses met God at the burning bush, it changed his life and his perception of who God is. In that burning-bush moment, he began to understand and appreciate the sacredness of worship. Proper worship has to fit the one we are worshiping, so if we are worshiping God, we must do it on His terms. This means having a spirit of reverence and holiness--like Moses taking off his shoes and kneeling before Him. The bush's fire did not frighten Moses, but rather it poured the essence of sacredness into his life. It gave him an experience of God's presence he had never had before. Let this book teach you how, like Moses, to encounter God afresh.

"Uses personal stories and passages from the Bible to share the message of Jesus and salvation with people of different faith traditions"--

Throughout history, all of the greatest men and women of God needed courage to fulfill their destinies. From Abraham to the men and women of the first century church who spread the gospel, all needed courage to hold fast to their faith during numerous trials and tribulations. "We need that same courage today," says author Branden Brim. "We live in a time of uncertainty, a time where fear is being spread, and Christians are being discouraged. But we don't have to give in! We can be bold because of what Jesus did for us on the cross. Because of His sacrifice, we can be as bold as lions!" In his book Courage: A Message from Heaven, Branden shares personal, modern-day, and biblical stories of courage, how it's obtained, why it's needed, and how standing on God's promises can grow both courage and faith. He also shares dreams and visions he received from the Holy Spirit that have encouraged him in his own life and ministry. "Before writing this book, the Lord showed me a vision of the importance of courage," Branden says. "After having that vision, I knew that the only way I could accomplish the will of God in my life was to have courage, and I believe that sentiment rings true for everyone living in the world today." It is his hope that Courage: A Message from Heaven will make you bolder and more determined to achieve all that God has planned for you.

Meanwhile, in the real world, close friends may envy, family members spread gossip, and we're abandoned by those we least expect to do so. The real world shows that the real challenge is managing the other. You need people to be happy. Invest in them, learn to see the best in each one, and learn how not to expect something in return and still find satisfaction and happiness in your relationships.

¡Sacudimiento... avivamiento... y cosecha! Los últimos tiempos se están revelando ante nuestros ojos. Primero, habrá sacudimientos sin precedentes. Hoy en día, el mundo está siendo sacudido de manera sin precedentes. Y esto es sólo el comienzo. Las naciones, instituciones, economías, familias, individuos, el medio ambiente, el cosmos, el mundo espiritual; en fin, en cada dimensión y esfera de la vida, veremos poderosas olas de sacudimiento que interrumpirán el curso de nuestras vidas y eliminarán nuestro falso sentido de seguridad en los recursos terrenales, obligándonos a volver la mirada a nuestro Creador. El propósito principal de los sacudimientos es juzgar al mundo por su pecado y rebelión contra Dios. Sin embargo, Dios usará el sacudimiento que estamos experimentando ahora para refinar a los creyentes, de modo que seamos purificados hasta convertirnos en el remanente que está listo para la inminente aparición de Jesús. Segundo, habrá un avivamiento sin precedentes. A medida que respondamos al sacudimiento con arrepentimiento y profundo fervor a Dios, estaremos preparados para tomar papel activo en el avivamiento de los últimos días, en el que se revelará la gloria soberana de Dios. Habrá un movimiento sobrenatural integral caracterizado por milagros, sanidades, salvaciones, provisión financiera, visión profética, santidad renovada, adoración poderosa, discipulado sólido y profundo amor. Finalmente, ¡habrá una cosecha de almas sin precedentes con impacto global! El Espíritu Santo empoderará a la iglesia para alcanzar a los perdidos con demostración de milagros, señales y maravillas.

Shaking...Then Revival...Then Harvest! The end times are unfolding before our eyes. First, there will be unprecedented shakings. Today, the world is shaking in unprecedented ways. And this is just the beginning. Nations, institutions, economies, families, individuals, the earth's environment, the cosmos, the spiritual realm--in every dimension and sphere of life, we will see powerful waves of shaking that disrupt the course of our lives and take away our false sense of security in earthly resources, compelling us to return to our Creator. The main purpose of these shakings is to judge the people of the world for their sin and rebellion against God. Yet God is using the shaking we are now experiencing to refine believers so we will be purified to become the remnant that is ready for Jesus's imminent appearing. Second, there will be unprecedented revival. As we respond to the shaking with repentance and wholehearted devotion to God, we will be prepared to take an active role in the coming last-days revival in which God's sovereign glory will be revealed! There will be an all-inclusive supernatural movement characterized by miracles, healings, salvations, financial provision, prophetic visions, renewed holiness, powerful worship, strong discipleship, and profound love.

Identifying the enemy is the key to casting him out! John Eckhardt has created the ultimate deliverance thesaurus to help believers know the specific names and attributes of demons so they can become more successful in casting them out. We fear the unknown, but there is power in identification. The demons unmasked in this thesaurus are well aware that they are subject to the name of Jesus, the name above every name! By identifying demons, the believer strips them of their power and exhibits Christ's authority over every demon. Don't run from the devil; begin casting out the enemy and stand victorious with Jesus Christ! >

"HOLDING FAST TO FAITH IN THE GRAY AREAS OF LIFE Should a Christian use Tinder...get a tattoo...or drink shots of tequila? Anyone who wants to live a life of grace needs to navigate the world's gray lifestyle choices that may not be wrong, but could lead to sin. "The church has been plagued by two extremes when it comes to living a Christian lifestyle," says author Bradley Truman Noel. "On one side, we have the serious folks adorned with a really impressive frown, who remind us of all the do's and don'ts....On the other end of the spectrum are folks who play fast and loose with the rules. They typically don't spend too much time thinking about holiness, or wondering if their actions align with biblical teaching." Both sides, Bradley says, miss the power of God's grace in our lives. In Tinder, Tattoos, and Tequila, you will discover: What's sinful and what's permissibleScriptural absolutes that apply to all believersWhy we should be eager to be holy in this lifeHow to navigate social media and video gamesBiblical principles that can guide every decisionWays to receive help from the Holy SpiritThe balance between understanding the law and practicing grace Don't let the world's endless choices keep you from living the life of grace that God has for you!"--

"Where do you live-truly live? You may have a street address. You may think of your childhood home.

Topics include: Is Anybody Home?; Blessed by the Begats; A Song at Midnight; Wear God Out; and many more, all offered with Carol's characteristic humor, love, and affection.If you are a Christian, Jesus lives in your heart with you, no matter what condition it's in. If there are problems, however, He wants to clean until His hands bleed. Carol invites you to walk through the rooms of your heart to identify the issues that Christ is shining His light on."Jesus wants to paint your heart the color of white snow," she says. "He will gently move around priorities, set things out for the trash man, and replace every outdated attitude with His unconditional love and inexpressible joy. He can take a home that has been literally demolished by the storms of life and rebuild it into a palace fit for a king.""--

"Dispensational Truth is the Rev. Clarence Larkin's famous book on dispensationalism with his beautifully drawn black and white charts. A must-have book for any student of dispensationalism, the book contains more than 115 charts, maps, and woodcuts.

Like life itself, marriage has moments of joy...and sorrow. As difficult as marriage can be, many who have said "I do" try to stick it out when problems arise because the alternative--being alone--is not very appealing. If the couple truly wants to save their marriage, they usually turn to counseling.Unfortunately, most marriage counseling ends with the couple dropping out and then, more often than not, ending their relationship. In some cases, the problem is not the couple but their choice of counselor. One who is poorly trained, disinterested, or obviously biased can destroy a marriage.Why Marriage Counseling Fails explores different scenarios that cause problems for couples as well as the different types of counselors who can help or harm a marriage. Dr. David B. Hawkins has more than forty-five years of experience as a marriage counselor and has helped thousands of couples save their marriages."Sadly, when it comes to reaching out for help for marriage counseling, few have a sense of trust and confidence in their counselor," he says. "Stories abound about how they came out of a counseling session worse than when they went in."Dr. Hawkins defines the "five I's" of a qualified marriage counselor as one who: Offers wise instructionTakes an active interest in the coupleOffers insight into why problems recurIs willing to work intensivelyWorks in-depth to help the couple find long-term solutionsWhy Marriage Counseling Fails offers insights into marital issues, the brokenness of the counseling system, how to find good help, and how to insist upon effective help when turning to a counselor.

This compilation of wisdom from some of the world's greatest writers will inspire you year-round.

The fall of Lucifer set up the epic "battle of all ages." And you are positioned right in the middle of this historic struggle. International Bible teacher Derek Prince reveals Satan's grand schemes for putting people in bondage and seducing Christians from reaching their full spiritual potential.

Many Christians are being tormented by unseen demonic powers called "familiar spirits" that operate inconspicuously within the fabric of people's thoughts, emotions, and mindsets -- working so secretly that they usually remain undetected. These demonic spirits can be attached to specific individuals, families, or bloodlines. Familiar spirits hinder believers' lives in numerous ways, diminishing their spiritual vision and seeking to prevent them from fulfilling their destinies. They may block people's ability to overcome negative patterns, attain lasting success, and even marry and conceive children.
