Miracles still happen. “Miracles… force us into a decision.” We either choose to believe or we don’t but either way, our choice does not negate the miracle.

Craig Davis realises with hindsight, that even when he was not walking with God, God was still preparing the groundwork for later in his life. “God was at work and we did not even realise it.” God will relentlessly pursue us until we make a decision for Him. “I was running from the life Jesus wanted me to live. But God kept after me.” God never gives up on us.

Pressing Into God

The Veil by Blake K Healy is a powerful Christian book about living within the spiritual realm. There is the personal testimony of the author as well as a narrative showing how to receive this spiritual gift from God.

It is important to know who you are in God and what He says about you and over you. We need to press into our relationship with God. “Knowing who you are in Christ determines how you think.” We need to focus our minds on God. “Make your relationship with God the core of your identity.” Let His word be the fragrance in our lives. “When you’re a child of God, you change everything you touch.”

There are things that may keep us from hearing God, such as fear and unforgiveness. The enemy wants to keep us from God but he has no power over us. “Demons have no authority over you unless you give it to them.” Our identity is in Jesus and what He says about us.

Drawing Closer To Jesus

When Jesus Answers by Loren Loving is a comprehensive book designed to help us draw closer to God. “Life is… a journey back to where we were created to live.” We come from the Father and we shall return to the Father. We are just passing through this life but we do not journey alone. Jesus promised to be with us every step of the way.

We are called to worship. Each chapter suggests songs to listen to.

The Silence Of God by Dr Gene Russell

Feb1

A Comprehensive Guide

The Silence Of God by Dr Gene Russell is a very personable exploration of the silences we experience of God. For us to perceive these silences, we have to believe that God is real.

Dr Gene Russell writes in a very relaxed style, enabling his book to be accessible to all. There are many personal accounts within the chapters. Everything Dr Gene Russell says is backed up with scripture.

“God’s silence does not mean indifference.” Even when God is silent, He is still working. God does not always speak in ways we expect. He will use people and circumstances to get our attention.

We learn about the names of God. He is a God of love in spite of the evil and suffering in the world. “The problem of evil is the problem of choice.” We have all been given free will. God cannot intervene or it would make Him a controller rather than a God of love. Wherever there is evil and sin, God grieves.
