Spiritual Freedom

Many people will tell you that you need to change, but few can tell you how. If you find yourself struggling with angry outbursts, or if unresolved pain in your life makes it difficult to connect with your family, you are not alone.

With specific principles and strategies to empower believers to combat demonic attacks and the temptation to return to old patterns, listeners will discover how to put on the full armor of God and develop a proactive strategy to maintain their deliverance, which includes removing everything from their lives that would give the enemy a legal right to put them back in bondage. Ruffin draws from her own experiences and gives specific strategies and warfare prayers to overthrow demonic plans, plots, and agendas to help Christians overcome the enemy.

Do you experience depression, anxiety, fear, worry? Do you ever feel like you have a black cloud that follows you everywhere you go? Financial issues, health issues, mental stress, family divisions, work issues. It seems you can never catch a break. Do you feel empty inside? Trying to fill that emptiness with the things of this world? These are all signs that doors have been opened by you or your generational line and has given legal access to the enemy to disrupt your life.

As a pastor and author, Nicholas McDonald spent years helping people work through serious questions about the evangelical church’s gospel and its often hurtful responses to those confused by American Evangelical culture. He quickly realized that what these people needed—what he really needed—was not merely apologetics answers but the good news that speaks to their deepest dreams: love, beauty, and freedom—the very things Jesus promises to those who follow Him.

Making Sense of Kanye is an audiobook designed to teach you how to obtain financial freedom, peace, love, and happiness and how to avoid (or cope with) the societal pressures. Using Kanye West's misunderstood wisdom, we explore how many of his thoughts coincide with spiritual law and how we can use these laws to live a well-balanced life regardless of economic status.

When we fail to rest, we do more than burn ourselves out. We misunderstand the God who calls us to rest—who created us to be people of rest. Let's face it: Our rest needs work. Sabbath recalls our creation, and with it, God's satisfaction with us as he made us, without our hurried wrangling and harried worrying. It also recalls God's deliverance of the Israelites from Egypt, and with it, God's ability to do completely what we cannot complete in ourselves. Sabbath keeping reminds us that we are free to rest each week.

Is it okay to enjoy this life? Watching a gorgeous sunset. Sharing a laugh with a friend. Tasting a sun-ripened strawberry. Each day is full of opportunities for you to savor the countless gifts the creator has given. But do you feel free to delight in God's abundant gifts, or is your joy sometimes distorted by guilt, fear of idolatry, or simply an overwhelming awareness of sin's effects on this world?

From beginning to end, through joy and heartache, in good times and bad, we are in a constant state of transition if we are alive. Join Ted Pagel Jr. in Courageous Faith: Overcoming Obstacles on the Road to Freedom as he chronicles how the ancient Israelites transitioned from four hundred years of slavery in Egypt to embrace full freedom in the Promised Land under Joshua's leadership.

"Not enough" is the theme of our day. Fear, scarcity, and inequality dominate the media cycle and are constant companions in our culture. While 74 percent of Americans believe in God, we can feel our world changing in ways that simply seem out of control. We want to cling to a sovereign and loving God who tells us repeatedly in Scripture to "fear not", yet it is estimated that nearly 90 percent of his followers have a scarcity mentality rooted in fear.

Who am I? Where do I fit? What difference do I make? Such questions of identity, belonging, and purpose are asked by all, but unfortunately, young people feel them intensely. Mafanikio is a teenager, who like most teenagers is in pursuit of his identity, belonging, happiness, purpose, and success. Unfortunately, he repeatedly encounters difficulties in most of his endeavors. In prolonged confusion, his trust and love toward people and God grew cold. A lifestyle with consequences and regrets.

Today we should obey God's marriage rules, more similar to God's marriage rules we see in the Old Testament, and have the sexual freedom God gave everyone at creation and that is reflected all over the Bible. These books explain all this in detail.

Christianity is facing an authenticity crisis...Why do we feel the need to hide our struggles, doubts, and fears? Why is there sometimes a disconnect between our faith and our feelings? Why do we sometimes wonder, God, what are you doing? Are you even there? For some, this comes from being handed a shame-based religion, for others, an image-keeping faith of rules and regulations. For others still, Christianity is a hamster wheel of performance. And this led me to realizing...I can’t do this anymore.

I was so quick to say well at least I’m not addicted to drugs. Reality check; the drug I was addicted to was man. I compulsively pursued him until it begin to erode me from the inside out. The person I saw in the mirror was no longer me, and I could not control her. My flesh chased a high that was unobtainable. I eventually collapsed after a never ending cycle of relapse. But, God! In the midst of my mess, he extended grace to a wreck like me and began to perform open-heart surgery.

Kelly was bored. Growing up in a quiet Amish town in Northeastern Ohio in the 1970s, she was always on the hunt for excitement. Meeting Dace was an unexpected thrill. Home from the US Navy, this handsome young musician shared his drugs, music, and experiences beyond her naiveté. She never dreamed his charming facade hid a misogynist (a woman-hater) eager to take control of her life. This is Kelly’s journey from pregnant teen bride to brainwashed wife.

We cannot always determine the circumstances in our lives, but perspective and peace in the midst of the stormy chaos of life are always available to the person who wins the battle to live a surrendered life. It is possible to have a life filled with meaning and live a rich existence basking in the pleasure and approval of God. A Beautiful Defeat contains the promise of a pathway to wholeness, fulfillment, and peace with God.

It's time to open your eyes to the freeing power of authentic grace - grace that releases us from trying to earn God's favor, grace that liberates from the tyranny of trying to please others, grace that empowers us to pursue authentic holiness. That's what the theology of Martin Luther and John Calvin did in their own day for the people around them. Time magazine recently dubbed Calvinism as one of the top-10 ideas changing the world right now.

Consider this: Did you choose the situations you were born into? Did you have any say in who your parents were, the kind of home you grew up in, or the circumstances that shaped you genetically, geographically, economically, or emotionally? As the author of The Four Agreements points out, you didn’t even choose your own name. Life being a game of chess, not checkers, we have to think in terms of strategies, tactics, and the importance of planning several steps ahead. Strategic mindfulness and emotional freedom come from not wasting our valuable time; and learning from wisdom.

“No one goes to hell by accident!” were the words I heard as the vision opened before me. The scenes that followed forever changed the way I saw the often-controversial subject of Hell. This experience confirmed that hell is a real place. It also served to confirm that it is very difficult to go to hell, although many will end up there. You have to work at it. Jesus is constantly getting in your path to redirect you to heaven.

In A Nation of Sheep, Judge Andrew P. Napolitano frankly discusses how the federal government has circumvented the Constitution and is systematically dismantling the rights and freedoms that are the foundation of American democracy. He challenges Americans to recognize that they are being led down a very dangerous path and that the cost of following without challenge is the loss of the basic freedoms that facilitate our pursuit of happiness and that define us as a nation.

Is there something about you that you hope no one else ever finds out? You're not alone. Everyone has secrets, hurts, abuses, bad habits, fears. Big or small, secrets can destroy you from the inside out. The good news is that confession is more powerful than secrets--or the fear that keeps you from telling them. Aaron Stern shows you the powerful roots of secret-keeping, the difference between good secrets and bad secrets, what confession is (and isn't).
