Are You Praying For The Wrong Thing

The Bible tells us to pray continually and without ceasing, but what happens when we're waiting for God but discover He's waiting for us? In his first book, pastor and recording artist Travis Greene guides the reader to apply Biblical truths for a fulfilled life. Praying and waiting for God to answer can be confusing. When something--or everything--feels stuck because God doesn't seem to be answering our prayers, what next? Pastor and Grammy–nominated recording artist Travis Greene issues a challenge and asks us to examine our prayers--Are we praying for the right thing? Are we planning and preparing for what we've asked for? Are we praying for our will to grow closer to His? Or do we sometimes treat him like a genie in a bottle? Using Biblical examples, Travis invites readers to reconsider our prayers and navigate beyond feeling trapped to thriving in God’s purposes; learn to use what's left instead of focusing on what was lost; be willing to forgive, wait, and work as God allows; and believe in God's miracles while being a faithful steward of what He has already provided. Sometimes what happens next depends on the choices made right now. And sometimes God has something else in mind for us--something we might never have imagined, or in a way we might not have imagined it! It's possible to press forward into a life filled with joy and expectation for the future! Like the widow who used the oil she had at hand, by using what God has already supplied, Travis encourages the readers that they may be closer to enjoying God's promises than they realize. Management can be a magnet for miracles.

The word kanuna is an ancient term and is in use today. It is pronounced ""kah-hoo-nah"" and meant ""keeper of the secret."" The word for their secret lore was never found. The role of secrecy had been so strong and so well kept that it may never have been given a name... The name we used, for this reason, was Huna (pronounced ""hoo-nah""), which means ""secret."" Enough basic information will be incorporated in this book to give a working picture of the system of beliefs and practices upon which experimental work has been based. Interspersed with the instructions will be found explanations of the sources of conclusions, of symbols, words, and word-roots familiar to Huna, but which we also found in other religions, mainly Christianity. These will tend to show that the meanings ascribed to Huna are well founded. Huna is compatible with other systems. It interferes with none of them, but makes possible a greater understanding of the old truths. (From the Introduction) Get Your Copy Today!

The Balanced Life Have you become a born again Christian and found life in Christianity terribly hard, stressful and very strict? This book will teach you many important proverbs for living a good easy balanced Christian life. It will take away many of your problems and make life much more easier and less a burden as Jesus taught. Some preachers might not like what is said, but they teach strongly the full law like the Pharisees did to the extremes long ago. And when you try to follow them under the full law you struggle with it while they don't keep it all themselves. Jesus said He came so you wouldn't have to carry a heavy burden and make life free indeed. And remember Jesus' biggest enemies were the very strict Pharisees who were the true religious leaders of His time. They loved the law more than love, people and God Himself. They failed to love and forgive and not judge people. Don't let that happen again. Do you want to feel truly loved? Have less stress in your life? Sleep peacefully at night? Get along with others? Control situations in a good way? Control your self? Be calm and mild and handle all situations that way? Then read this book and apply what's in it to your life for the rest of your life. And start going to bed each night and awaking each morning knowing your life in Christ will bring joy, hope, faith, love and patience both now and forever when you get to heaven.

This revised, 13-week study goes back to the biblical basics of prayer, cleaning out myths about prayer to rev up a powerful, ongoing connection to God that can invigorate every aspect of a Christian’s life. The author tackles the complex theological questions: If God is sovereign, why pray? If prayer is not a way to change God’s mind, what is it? Prayer is a way, Jennifer illustrates, for God to send His power and provision into the world through His people. The study takes a detailed look at prayer’s purpose, process, promise, and practice.
