Good News From A Far Country The Kingdom Invasion Of The Mind

A long time ago, In a place far, far away, Plans were conceived for An invasion of a rebel planet Called Earth. Jesus came from This place-a far country-the Dwelling place of God and a perfect Reflection of His nature, His government And His administrative principles. The Bible calls this place HEAVEN.

Life on this planet is lived just above your neck between your two ears. You are what you think. The Bible talks about the “mind of Christ”. That phrase is referring to the way Jesus thought. We are encouraged to download that mind, that way of thinking. “Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 2:5) In other words, think like Jesus. Biblical Christianity has always contended that Jesus is God in the flesh. Jesus is God incarnate. When you think like Jesus, you are thinking like God. We know how Jesus thought. Just read the Scriptures. God does not know what defeat is experientially. He has never known anything other than victory. God does not know what fear is experientially. He has never known fear. Fear is a chaotic bundle of dark thoughts. Defeat is a series of fearful thoughts. Victory is a mental perspective. In this book, I am going to lay out a pattern for developing a victory mindset. Simply put, I want you to download the thinking of Heaven. Jesus’ thought system is from above. It is not of this world. My passion is that you invite and welcome as a valued and cherished guest the Kingdom invasion of the mind. Think like God.

Louie Giglio helps you find encouragement, hope, and strength in the midst of any valley as you reject the enemy voices of fear, rage, lust, insecurity, anxiety, despair, temptation, or defeat. Scripture is clear: the Enemy is a liar who will stop at nothing to tempt you into poor decisions and self-defeating mindsets, making you feel afraid, angry, anxious, or defeated. It is all too easy for Satan to weasel his way into a seat at the table intended for only you and your King. But you can fight back. Don't Give the Enemy a Seat at Your Table outlines the ways to overcome those lies so you can find peace and security in any challenging circumstance or situation. With the same bold, exciting approach to Scripture as employed in Goliath Must Fall and his other previous works, pastor Louie Giglio examines Psalm 23 in fresh ways, highlighting verse 5: "You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies." You can find freedom from insecurity, temptation, and defeat--if you allow Jesus, the Shepherd, to lead the battle for your mind and heart. This spiritual warfare book for those who are leery of spiritual warfare books will resonate with Louie's core Passion tribe as well as with Christians of all ages who want to live a triumphant life in God.

God's mission is on every page of Scripture. In Theology of Mission: A Concise Biblical Theology, J. D. Payne traces the theme of mission throughout Scripture. The Bible is a story of God's mission. God takes initiative to dwell with humanity. He desires to be known. To this end, he sends and is sent. Through Christ, God redeems sinful humans and recreates the cosmos. And he has invited his people to join in this mission. Payne shows that God's mission is on every page of the Bible and is foundational to the church's own existence. With reflection questions following concise chapters, all readers can consider their place in God's work.

This study of the literary relationship between Charles Williams and C. S. Lewis during the years 1936-1945 focuses on the theme of 'co-inherence' at the centre of their friendship. The idea of 'co-inherence' has long been recognized as an important contribution of Williams to theology, and had significant influence on the thought of Lewis. This account of the two writers' conviction that human persons 'inhere' or 'dwell' both in each other and in the triune God reveals many inter-relationships between their writings that would otherwise be missed. It also shows up profound differences between their world-views, and a gradual, though incomplete, convergence onto common ground. Exploring the idea of co-inherence throws light on the fictional worlds they created, as well as on their treatment (whether together or separately) of a wide range of theological and literary subjects: the Arthurian tradition, the poetry of William Blake and Thomas Traherne, the theology of Karl Barth, the nature of human and divine love, and the doctrine of the Trinity. This study draws for the first time on transcriptions of Williams' lectures from 1932 to 1939, tracing more clearly the development and use of the idea of co-inherence in his thought than has been possible before. Finally, an account of the use of the word 'co-inherence' in English-speaking theology suggests that the differences that existed between Lewis and Williams, especially on the place of analogy and participation in human experience of God, might be resolved by a theology of co-inherence in the Trinity.
