Running The Race With God

Best-selling author, speaker, and activist Christine Caine reminds readers that as Christians they are born to win. Their purpose is to run in the divine race of life until the day they cross the finish line and hear the words of their father, “Well done, good and faithful servant.” Based on her bestselling book Unstoppable, Christine Caine encourages readers with the truth that they are assured of victory. Each person has a race to run in life. It’s a race with eternal implications. But life is sometimes difficult. The task seems to tough, the path too perilous, the race too rigorous. In Run the Race!, Christine Caine reminds Christians that they know the outcome of the race before it begins, and that knowledge should revolutionize the way they run their race, the way they live their lives. She enthralls readers with stories and timeless principles that inspire people of faith to run the race of their life, receiving the baton of faith in sync with their winning team--the body of Christ. God has chosen them, prepared them and placed them on His team. They are unstoppable.

“I am focusing all my energies on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, I strain to reach the end of the race and receive the prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us.” —The apostle Paul No one enters a race and then wanders off to play a game of checkers or look for four-leaf clovers. They have a word for that kind of person: loser. If you want to cross life’s finish line as a winner, you need to focus your energies and keep your eyes on the prize. This is a race you must win! And with God’s help, it’s a race you can win with flying colors. Drawing from the pages of the Bible, Pastor Greg Laurie presents stories of real people who stumbled and fell right out of the race—and others who picked themselves up, got back on the track, and ran straight for the goal . . . and the greatest Prize of all.

Let's Run! explores the faith chapter of Hebrews by taking us back to the Old Testament and the stories of some ordinary people who faced enormous challenges but managed to stay in the race. This Bible study will give you not only a look at their lives, but also an opportunity to apply the same principles of faith to your own life, to keep you in the race and running toward the prize. Let's Run! is a 6-week Bible study which includes weekend devotions to recap the principles learned each week, as well as ideas for group study. Join Jennifer and be inspired to lace up and get back in the race!

What I am writing about I wrote this book to share on the life of my father, Pastor Zam, initially. But as I started writing, I realized that the Holy Spirit was gently guiding me to share some of the ways he lived a victorious Christian life, according to the word of God. Growing up in church all my life, I have witnessed many believers getting converted, but are never transformed and changed to reflect the victorious life of their savior, Jesus Christ. I believe there are a lot of reasons for this, the wrong teaching and dispensation of the Word of God, the believers' lack of knowledge in the word of God and who it says that He is, and what it says they already possess. I have seen many believers being dispossessed by the enemy by deception and manipulation. The enemy manipulated the word of God in the Garden of Eden to deceive Eve. And man has been used by him to manipulate the word of God since then. When believers are unsure of their identity in Christ and choose to entertain the voice of the enemy they become easily deceived and are dispossessed of their dominion authority and spiritual connection from that point onward. When we do not know that we can experience the manifest presence of God every day and benefit from the comfort and conversation of the Holy Spirit daily, then the enemy has already robbed and dispossessed us of our covenant blessing in Christ. In Mark 9:23 Jesus said unto him, "If thou canst believe, all things are possible to Him that believeth." We need to go back to that faith and belief in the word like Jesus spoke about here. I wrote this book to unbelievers to give them an insight on what they can have access to in Christ. The peace, the contentment, fulfillment, power, deliverance, healing, and wisdom is available to them if they accept Christ as savior and Lord of their life. I wrote this book to challenge the elect, to know the message, be the witness of that message, walk in the light, and to continuously stay in that place where truth and the Spirit of Truth will prevail in your life. Why is this book unique and why does it fill a market need? Many people in this world, even church-going Bible-toting Christians live in a state of defeat and lack in their life. Lack in finances, lack in wisdom, lack of time, lack of faith, lack of proper guidance, etc. Yet God promised us the abundant life if we only believe. John 10:10 tell us that, "The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly." If you have loss or lack, then it is safe to say a thief has entered and stolen from you, wouldn't you agree? This is the reason I wrote this book, so the eyes of your understanding be opened to the lies and cunning devises of the enemy. This book will help you to identify the areas that the enemy has stolen from you today. Areas like your health, finances, peace, etc. It will show you how to take them back by faith in God. Hosea 4:6 says that "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou has rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children."

Does your life feel out of control? Do you feel that you are doing so many things that you are doing none of them well? Lisa Brenninkmeyer understands how it feels when life is stuck on the spin cycle. As a mother of seven, she knows we don't just need to be told what kind of women we should be. We need some help getting there. Drawing from her own experience of balancing marriage, motherhood, and work inside and outside the home, Lisa helps you uncover the key to living a busy life with inner calm. What's the secret? Identifying key priorities, and doing first what matters most. Once in awhile, things may seem as if they're under control, but we want to walk with purpose regardless of our circumstances. God wants us to daily experience the joy and contentment that comes from knowing we have given our all to what he considers most important. The abundant and purposeful life we were created to live is just around the corner.

"There was a time," writes renowned theologian J. I. Packer in this classic book on biblical holiness, "when all Christians laid great emphasis on God's call to holiness. But how different it is today! To listen to our sermons and to read the books we write, and then to watch the zany, worldly, quarrelsome way we behave, you would never imagine that once the highway of holiness was clearly marked out for Bible-believers." In this revised and updated edition of Rediscovering Holiness, the highway is once more clearly marked out for a new generation of readers, pointing to true freedom and joy, both now and in eternity.

Running Your Race is designed to help Christians learn about God and how to know God better, how God expects them to act, and how they are supposed to live. The book explains that God loves us, His children, and wants to bless us. It tells us how to trust God and follow His leading. God requires that His children live by faith and the Bible is the means for us to acquire the faith that we need to live for God. It tells about God's forgiveness of our sins when we fail to obey God's word. How God does not even remember our sins that Jesus Christ came to save us and not to condemn us. God's word is absolutely true and we can trust it with our lives. He has given us His Holy Spirit to live in us and to teach us and guide us into all the truth. We discover how to find out the will of God and how to pray in accordance with His will. All believers in Christ are members of the body of Christ and God has given each one a place in the body. It is our responsibility to seek God and ask Him what He wants us to do with our lives. God calls us His sons. As sons of God, we have the responsibility of reconciling the world to God. We are ambassadors for Christ and we need to take this responsibility seriously. The Holy Spirit has given the author many poems about various scriptural subjects, some of which are included at the end of each topic.
