This document summarizes a passage from the Bible about Jesus inviting those who are weary and burdened to come to him for rest. It provides commentary on what type of rest Jesus offers and how it can be obtained. Specifically:
1) Jesus offers spiritual and mental rest from sin, guilt, and inner turmoil to those who are weary from struggling with temptation or feeling burdened by sin.
2) This rest is obtained by personally committing to Jesus and submitting to his rule, which involves suppressing self-will and finding peace through serving Christ instead of focusing on personal comfort.
3) True rest is learned by following Jesus' example of meekness and lowliness, and will come as people become more
This is a collection of writings dealing with the issue of unity and he bond of peace in the local church. This is a vital part of any successful church.
The document discusses the basics of intercession and travailing intercession. It states that intercession requires surrendering one's will to God and experiencing identification, agony, and authority in prayer. Travailing intercession is described as a high level of spiritual engagement that requires fasting, enduring trials, and stripping oneself through implementing Ephesians 6:10-20. The document also provides guidelines for interpreting pains in different body parts as indications to pray for specific issues, such as headaches relating to attacks on leadership or stomach pains indicating witchcraft.
The document discusses various aspects of discipleship, including being baptized in the Holy Spirit, supernatural gifts of the Spirit, and the fruit of the Spirit. It defines terms like the word of wisdom, gift of faith, and prophecy. It explains that believers must seek Holy Spirit baptism to grow spiritually and receive power. The gifts fall under revelation, vocal, and power categories and include gifts like healing, miracles, and discerning spirits. The fruit of the Spirit represents Christ-like character and includes qualities such as love, joy, and peace.
The document discusses the importance of balancing five elements - discipleship, fellowship, worship, ministry, and evangelism - in small group ministry to create healthy groups.

Exploring Prosperity Gospel is a theological study of prosperity gospel. Although prosperity gospel is relatively new on the religious landscape, its worldwide media presence has enabled the dissemination of its message to people of all ages, ethnicities, races, and religious and denominational affiliations. The book traces its history to understand how prosperity preaching evolved and learn about the people responsible for its existence.
In chapter 9, You Are the Righteousness of God, we will test the Word of Faith teaching that asserts that believers have been declared righteous in Gods sight and therefore have at work in them the same unlimited ability and wisdom of God as Christ had. I contrast Word of Faith theology of the righteousness of God and the favor of God of prosperity preachers with that of Swiss reformer John Calvin. In Sifting the Wheat from the Chaff, I dissuade readers from conceiving of God as their personal valet.
The biblical account of the fall of Adam can be summarized as follows:

3) As a result of their sin, Adam and Eve's fellowship with God was broken. They became ashamed and afraid, and were expelled from the garden. God cursed the serpent and pronounced judgment on mankind.

The document discusses the role of the Holy Spirit in sanctification. It makes three key points:
1. The Holy Spirit works to sanctify or make believers holy by dwelling within them. His attribute of holiness allows Him to transform believers and make them distinct from the world.
2. Sanctification is both a position believers have through the Spirit's work, and an ongoing process of being conformed to Christ. It begins at salvation and continues throughout life.
3. Proper sanctification does not deify believers but makes them holy as God is holy yet still fully human. The indwelling Spirit transforms their characters but does not lose their identity.

This paper reflects on the author's nursing philosophy from a Christian perspective. She believes that all people are made in God's image and should be treated with dignity. Regarding health and illness, she sees the body as a complex, balanced system and nursing as treating the whole person - mind, body and spirit. While death is inevitable, she believes it is a transition, not an end. Her philosophy of nursing is to serve patients as Christ served, with compassion. She provides an example of caring for a terminally ill church member that exemplified holistically ministering to his spiritual and physical needs.
This is a study of Jesus being the only name by witch we can be saved. It is the narrow way and the only way. All other ways will end in failure. He alone can save, and no other can.

The document discusses having faith during difficult times based on the biblical story of Jesus calming the storm. It notes that storms can come unexpectedly in life, like problems rising up suddenly. The disciples were afraid during the storm in the story, but Jesus remained calm and asleep, depicting how Christians should react to problems - making efforts to solve them but also praying and having faith that God is in control. Having faith means being sure of what we hope for even if we can't see it and knowing that no storm is too strong for God to handle. The document encourages having faith like Jesus during life's storms rather than giving in to fear.

BC&D-1: What is the definition of Biblical Counseling John Barnett
油
What is the definition of Biblical Counseling (Romans 15:4-6, 13-14)?
4 For whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that we through the patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope. 5 Now may the God of patience and comfort grant you to be like-minded toward one another, according to Christ Jesus, 6 that you may with one mind and one mouth glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
teaching (didasko) part of our great commission task to be teaching all true disciples of Christ (Mt. 28:20).
patience (hupomeno) this word means stays in place, abides; God is described as being faithful and unchangingly staying in place. This also describes the Word (I Pet. 1:23) and in I Cor. 13:13 faith, hope, and love. This is also the great word of Psalm 27:14; Isaiah 40:31.
comfort (paraklesis): means comfort that comes through God's Word that is based upon the faithful God we can and do trust. God is the God of patience and comfort, and He alone through His Word can comfort the downcast (II Cor. 7:6).
13 Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. 14 Now I myself am confident concerning you, my brethren, that you also are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish one another.
The God of hope is the source of hope we offer as Disciple-making/Counselors (v. 13a);
His Holy Spirit energizes this hope by the power of the Holy Spirit (v. 13b);
All Counseling/Disciple-makers need to be full of the Spirit (Gal. 5:22);
Only by the Spirit are we able (v. 14a) this word (dunamai) means power or ability, it is passive, so that means made able by another, or enabled;
All believers have been left with the job description (I Th. 5:14) to be Biblical Counselors admonish one another (noutheteo). This word means impart understanding, set right, or lay upon the heart. Paul said this is what his ministry was 24/7 (Acts 20:31).
The document discusses wholistic massage and the author's journey developing this approach. Some key points:

This document provides notes for a minister on an integral and holistic approach to ministry, healing, and deliverance. Some key points:
1. An integral approach sees the gospel, human beings, the church's mission, and ministry as addressing all aspects of life - physical, emotional, spiritual, social, etc. The needs of the people should guide the types of ministry provided.
2. In terms of healing, a Christian definition sees it as restoring total harmony in body, mind and spirit. The church should fulfill its healing ministry through compassion. There are six dimensions of healing, including physical, spiritual, inner, mental, psycho-social, and social healing.
3. The medical model reduces health

The document then outlines the preferred practice of developing a plan based on a structured spiritual assessment and integrating it into the overall palliative care plan. It provides details on screening for spiritual distress, using a proven assessment instrument called FICA, and documenting the assessment.

The document discusses Christian faith as a way of life that involves both personal and social transformation. It argues that spiritual formation involves intentional practices that develop disciples who then act as apostles working to transform the world. The purpose of personal formation is social transformation, and social transformation requires personal transformation, as communities work with God to bring about the Kingdom of God on earth.
The document outlines an evangelism workshop with the following goals: ensuring participants understand evangelism and the gospel; know how to clearly explain the gospel and engage people in a respectful manner; and know how to use available means and respond to objections. It covers contextualizing evangelism biblically by defining key terms; examining biblical teachings and motivations for evangelism; understanding the roles of God, man, and the Holy Spirit in salvation; and focusing on diplomatically defending and promoting the gospel. The workshop aims to equip Christians to confidently yet graciously share the essential facts of the gospel.
Mental health and spirituality are deeply intertwined and impact each other. The document discusses how common mental health challenges like anxiety and depression can negatively influence spiritual well-being, but spiritual practices like prayer, meditation, and community support can help cope with mental health issues. It also suggests ways for Christian communities to promote both mental health and spirituality, such as creating a supportive culture, offering counseling resources, and incorporating spiritual practices into church activities.
The purpose of spiritual discipleship is to help believers understand what God is doing in their lives in order to accelerate their spiritual transformation from independence from God to dependence on Him. Effective discipleship involves prayerfully seeking those who are spiritually hungry and teachable, meeting regularly over several months to examine scripture, share struggles, and provide accountability as both the disciple and mentor grow in their dependence on the Holy Spirit and ability to reproduce this process in others. The goal is for disciples to become mentors themselves through a balanced approach of individual and corporate spiritual training.
This document discusses the importance of mentoring and discipling new believers. It makes three key points:
1) Without mentoring, new believers will adopt the values of those around them, so it is important for them to be challenged and taught biblical values and convictions.
2) Most new believers are impacted more by what they see from other believers than what they hear them say. Seeing biblical spirituality modeled is important for their growth.
3) Spiritual parenting through mentoring and modeling helps new believers transition from self-dependence to dependence on God and the Holy Spirit. The goal of discipleship is spiritual maturity and fruitfulness that leads to reproducing disciples of their own.
WCF Chapters 12-13 - Adoption and Sanctificationsandiferb
油
This document provides an overview of chapters 12 and 13 of the Westminster Confession of Faith regarding the doctrines of adoption and sanctification.
The chapter on adoption emphasizes that it is an act that makes believers children of God through Jesus Christ. It legally seals believers as members of God's family and gives them benefits like God's protection as sons.
The chapter on sanctification describes it as the work of God through Christ by the Spirit to transform believers and make them holy.

Miraculous Recovery: Finding Healing Where it Hurts is an Avivyah Outreach Ministry created by Avril LMour Weathers, PhD 息
2007. The materials herein are not to be reproduced without prior written consent. Celebrate Recovery! 速 is a Purpose Driven
Ministry created by Pastors Cheryl and John Baker adapted for use with full training and certification.
Attend to my words: incline thine ear into my sayings.
Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart.
They are life to those who find them; and health to all their flesh. Proverbs 4:20-22
2ServeU Foundational Scripture
"We have proved thousands of times, and are continuing to prove, that by the simple presentation of
enough of the written Word of God to the minds and hearts of the (seemingly) incurably afflicted, they
can be brought to the same state of certainty and assurance concerning the healing of their body as to
the healing of their soul." F. F. Bosworth, 1924
Recovery is the return of Mind, Body and Spirit to its state of intended
existence, returning natural balance and alignment to all systems and restoring
optimal states of function to the joy of living!
Before people can have steadfast faith in the recovery of mind, body and spirit,
they must be rid of all uncertainty concerning the will of God in the matter of
healing. Faith cannot be expected go beyond ones understanding of the
revealed will of God. Before attempting to exercise faith for healing, one needs
to be clear about what the Scriptures plainly teach, that it is just as much Gods
will to heal mind & body as it is to heal the soul, through a resurrected Spirit.
The purpose of the Miraculous Recovery! Series is to fellowship in celebration
of God's healing power in our lives. This experience allows us to "be changed.
As we learn the sacred principles embodied by Scripture and apply the tools
that flow from them, we to grow in Spirit. Health, a derivative of the Greek
meaning for wholeness or Holiness, flows from top down, and inside out.
Spiritual healing moves through the sacred Mind and manifests in the Body
Temple; through the liberty of redemption we become free from the addictive,
compulsive and dysfunctional behaviors from dis-eased states of mind that lead
to diseased bodies.
This freedom creates peace, serenity, joy and most importantly, a stronger
personal relationship with God and others as it clears the pathways to Divine
Health. As we progress through our healing process, we discover an ever
increasing, personal, compassionate and forgiving Higher Power in God, in this
case through the Healing Christ; and, we discover the power of total recovery in
the Divine Healing ascribed for all dis-ease.

3. II. Objectives: Developing Insights into the Divine Nature of Healing
1. Being grounded in Sacred Principles: Insight into Gods Word
Faith for the release of Gods promised healing is the result of knowing and
acting on the Word. This ministry utilizes the spiritual principles of Scripture
that serve as instruments, and introduce tools, for the enhancement of ones
personal alignment with God in Jesus Christ the living Word as Source of all
healing (Jehovah Rapha), and direct means to recovery from all things.
2. Finding Healing Where it Hurts: Insight into Gods Deliverance
We have a new understanding of how to deal with past hurts, one that
acknowledges the damage to the human spirit while charting a path toward
the abundant life God promisesiv. This ministry focuses on the issues that
underlie the anger, pain, and disappointments that lead to addictive
emotional, psychological and physical, fallen-world states of being, offered in
spiritual environments of sacred confidence, serving as a means to healing
individual hurts.
3. Emphasizing Personal Responsibility: Insight into Gods Discipline
We are saved, healed, delivered, protected, preserved and made whole in
the Oneness of God. This ministry emphasizes the empowerment of
personal engagement in, and responsibility for, ones own healing process,
viewing professionals as facilitators of a process owned by the individual as
a means to personal development through the discipline of ordered steps to
wholeness in God.
4. Emphasizing Spiritual Commitment to Christ: Insight into New Life in Christ
We confess Him, crucified, dead, buried, risen day three unto glory,
inasmuch; we are healed by His stripes. This ministry emphasizes the
healing power of Christ and the ways to tap into It as a spiritual commitment
to awaken the healer within; understanding the relationship between
renewed health and renewed life in Christ.
5. Understanding we need each other in order to grow Spiritually and
Emotionally: Insight about Giving and Receiving Comfort
As Children of God (COGs in the Great Divine), we are called upon to share
each others burdens. This ministry embodies the power of group dynamics
and peer support to embrace each others challenges; sharing experience
and finding approaches to recovery from all things that support each
individual as they determine fit through social interaction.
6. Addressing all types of Habits, Hurts, Hang-ups and other forms of worldly
Dis-ease/Disease: Insight concerning Obstacles to Wholeness/Holiness
We all live in a fallen world, are damaged, and need to be healed as we grow
in our relationships with God and othersv. This ministry encompasses and
confronts every obstacle to Peace as a means to break these cycles with the
assumption that there is but one obstacle with many forms: Identification with
the World vs. Identification with the Christ.

4. 7. Developing Support Networks in Fellowship: Insight into the Power of
Christian Community
It was Pauls concern that hearts may be braced (comforted cheered and
encouraged) as they are knit together in Love. This ministry strives for the
creation of a safe space for people who want to heal without judgment and
condemnation, recovering without guilt, and growing in the Love of God as it
is manifested in the oneness of a participation seeking to develop a network
of peer support that nurtures members and future leaders in the Body of
Christ.
