How do you define true power? Do you feel that power and peace are found by practicing the rules and rituals of a specific religion? If so, how might you explain the emotional roller coasters and tribulations that still grip you in the middle of the hard storms of life? Perhaps, instead of dedicating yourself to living with "religion," you might find the power missing in your life when you choose to live in "Kingdom?" Other books place their focus on religion, but author Apostle Larry J. Conner's empowering spiritual treatise, Religion Makes One "Powerless"; Kingdom Makes One "Powerful!" Moving From Religion to Kingdom!, focuses on pure Kingdom. What kingdom? The only true one there is: God's kingdom! In God's kingdom, we are all powerful and loved. On His earthly ministry, Jesus shared His game-changing message that there is only one, true standard for everyone: the gospel of the kingdom of Heaven and God. Jesus taught His disciples and apostles to preach and spread that same message. As God's emissaries, we are expected and tasked to continue preaching and passing this message along in our modern age as well. The message of the Bible was to teach the world about the gospel of the kingdom of Heaven and God. In his ambitious and revelatory work, Apostle Conner seeks to open both readers' eyes and the door of knowledge to this beautiful kingdom, that we may all live inside true power, and make a promise to share it with the whole world. Apostle Larry J. Conner is the Founder/Presiding Prelate of Victory Unto Victory Revivals, Inc., (VUVR). He's a retired United States army veteran, husband, and father. His enjoyments include preaching/teaching the Kingdom of God, writing, running, and spending quality time with family.

After reading this book, it is my prayer that you will know and understand what kind of relationship you should have with your heavenly Father and with your brothers and sisters in Christ; the person you are to be; the life you are to live; and what is expected and required of the church body. This book will also inform you of harmful influences that can affect your spiritual wellbeing. As well as, what you need to do to be ready when Jesus returns. My name is Jessie Clark. I am married with 4 beautiful children. I enjoy spending time with family and friends. I also enjoy nature to the utmost. So, traveling and seeing God's beautiful creation is my favorite past time. I have lived in several States and Cities as an adult. Throughout this time, I have gone to many churches and felt like we as Christians are missing valuable information about the bible. I was inspired to share what was on my heart through discussions in a book club with my wife and a few close friends. My prayer is that the information in this book will educate, inspire and encourage Christians throughout the world.

As Christians, it is important to remember that every day, we are engaged in spiritual warfare. And just like physical warfare, we have a real enemy, and real lives are at stake. So, how do we prepare for the battles we are going to face? What can we do so that when those moments come, we are not caught off guard but instead instinctively respond in a righteous manner? Soldiers and Their Battle Drills by Jesse Posner is a compelling book which delves deep into spiritual warfare and discusses how Christians can use the Word of God to strengthen their discipline and become more Christ-like in everything they do. Full of relevant scriptures and insightful commentary, each chapter of the book focuses on a different aspect of spiritual warfare and includes practical ways for readers to implement these principles in their everyday lives. Throughout the book, Jesse includes real-world knowledge and experience from his thirteen years as a soldier in the U.S. Army, drawing parallels between tactics, drills, and methods soldiers use to train for combat and battle drills believers can use to train to win in their spiritual walk. Including 3-6 questions at the end of each chapter for readers to dig deep and evaluate themselves more, this book is a powerful resource that can be used individually or for group study. There's a saying in the Army to soldiers that says, "Train how you fight." With this practical, to-the-point guide, readers will be doing exactly that. Pastor Jesse Posner is a Teacher, Preacher, and Evangelist that studied at Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia. He has a B.S. in Religion with a Minor in Christian Counseling. He has been a Youth Leader, Young Adult Leader, Youth Development Pastor, and Lead Pastor at various Churches throughout his ministry. He grew up in a Messianic Jewish home, practicing and understanding the importance of the Old Testament and its relevance to understanding the New Testament. He has been a student of the Bible all his life, but really dug in deep for the last 11 years. His passion is equipping the Saints, to give them the foundation to give a reason for the hope they have in Jesus Christ; not only to teach his children to love the Lord with all their heart, soul and mind, and to live like Christ, but to give everyone he encounters this same opportunity!

Why do the people of God sometimes leave great churches? Why do some pastors experience burnout? What would cause church goers to stop giving to the Building Fund? Many pastors usually get possible answers to questions like these from other pastors. However, such a method only gets half of the picture. Pastor helpers want to help the church grow. As a result, they often are looking for places that need help. When they talk about their pastor's areas in need of growth, it tends to be just two things: professionalism and the supernatural. Professionalism being the day-to-day things that make the church appear more refined. While the supernatural are things that appear natural but can have super consequences. This book tries to explore and answer such mysteries from the people's perspective. Most churches do not have a method for church goers to express their concerns. Many of God's people do not even know how or to who they should communicate their views. In How to Be a Pastor Through the Eyes of A Pastor's Helper, this is their chance. Jonathen Jaime has been attending the same church and serving as an usher there for over a decade. He has tutored math at the College of the Sequoias, has a four-year degree in Applied Mathematics, and has taught math in high school. Currently, he is trying to pursue his dream of being an international author.

This devotional is a selection of writing geared to draw the reader closer and deeper into their walk with the Lord. It is meant to be a launching pad for the reader to dig deeper into the Lord as they are directed. It is not meant to direct the thoughts and revelations of the readers. Rather, it is meant to direct the reader to the One Who is intended to direct their lives. Its approach is one of simplicity and accessibility with no desire for lofty ascents in its content. It is designed in practical fashion with the desire for the reader to be at ease as they go through it. It is designed to be a companion book to the music project of the same name, though it is able to be a stand-alone, eight day devotional for the hungry heart.

Wherefore God also hath highly exalted Him, and given Him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth. Philippians 2:9, 10 KJV What are the giants in our days that make us to be "sore afraid"? Grace knows that each of us face different giants, and all too often, we run and hide from them rather than face them head on. But Grace contends that there is a better way to victory. There are giants that need to be conquered, and it is up to each of us to take them on. The Falling of the Giants describes the common giants people encounter, including the giants of fear, failure, pride, and Satan himself. These giants are larger than life, and they have the ability to reduce us to ruins if left unchallenged. With a no-nonsense, biblical approach, Grace identifies the deadly aim of these giants and points to Bible heroes who overcame them by obeying and trusting God. She relays how she defeated giants in her own life and emerged victorious by relying on her faith in Jesus Christ. Grace invites Christians to re-examine themselves and to live authentically for Christ. She calls on nonbelievers to repent and believe in the Lord while there is still time. Through astute biblical knowledge, coupled with a compassionate heart, Grace offers a strategy for winning against giants and for enjoying true peace with God. Giants fall!

If all the hell I have been through were to awaken me to who I am and ought to be, then God, I thank you for the process. Without it I would have never known my true self and the greatness that exists in me. It was painful but necessary. I religiously wore the cloak of the church society seeking their approval as if they were the architect of my destiny. Thus, burdening myself with unnecessary weight along with my own lies which I lived through the lens of lost self-worth and mental degradation. Do I cherish the hurt and take my revenge? Or do I forgive, so I can heal and be restored? How do I escape; psychological entrapment; marital imprisonment and religious barriers? Who knows!

No matter what you go through in life, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. If you keep your eyes focused on God, you can get through anything in this world. The Bible tells us, we will go through trials and tribulations in this life. That we do not get a pass just because we are Christians, or Catholics. But the Bible does tell us that God will be with us through those storms in our lives, to carry us through to the other side. Cindy and her children went through so much, but are doing so well today. All three of them are doing well financially and keep God close to them. They know that is what has, and what will keep them going until God calls them home. My name is Cindy, I am from Portland, Oregon. I enjoy working for the Lord, and hanging out with my grandchildren. I wrote this book to encourage anyone, and everyone to look to God for our problems. That even in the darkest times, there is a light. And his name is Jesus! If it was not for him carrying me through all of my storms, I would not be in this world, to write this book today.

A strawberry has many seeds on the outside of its surface. These seeds are attached to the strawberry, and when planted, they begin to grow. The same phenomena occurs within our hearts. Throughout life, seeds of emotion, trauma, and experience are planted in our hearts, and we began to sow these seeds. If we've been rejected, a seed of rejection is planted in our hearts, we began to sow seeds of rejection, and on and on. The Strawberry Seeds by Ciera Fulcher was inspired by the seed of love that God planted within her. Meet Luke and Mia, high school sweethearts with seeds of insecurity already sprouting in their hearts. As the sprouts grow taller, and as the couple grows older, more seeds are sown, and the two find themselves at a constant crossroads, unsure of how to heal their past transgressions. It is through this story that Ciera Fulcher describes how a man and woman have to find God in order to learn how to truly love one another unconditionally and replant the garden of their hearts.' Throughout our journeys, we can pick up unhealthy and unwelcome seeds that are sown to our hearts by other people, but God wants us to let the seed of love overtake those seeds that were planted in us. Whether they are seeds that were planted from childhood or adulthood, God wants us to experience Him so we can experience unconditional love and sow seeds from Him in the hearts of others.

Isaiah 55:11 (KJV) "So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it." Jeremiah 1:12 (AMP) Then said the Lord to me, "You have seen well, for I am [actively] watching over My word to fulfill it." Some people say they live paycheck-to-paycheck. My finances were so out of control, I was living paycheck-to-money-running-low before the next paycheck! I realize abruptly resigning from my job the day after being diagnosed with breast cancer didn't help matters. But that diagnosis let me know the stress of that job was literally killing me! Later, going deeper into a financial valley, I felt I had no choice but to file bankruptcy. So here I was...I'd hit financial "rock bottom!" But God...In January 2019, I chose to meditate on the two scriptures above. I activated my faith and took God at His Word. And it WORKED!! Consistently returning God's Word back to Him caused my financial situation to make a "miraculous" 180-degree turn. I BELIEVED and I SPOKE! And God honored His Word. Scripture Romans 2:11 tells us, "For there is no respect of persons with God." God has no "favorites." If YOU believe and speak...He can do the same for you!

These poems and stories were written at different times in the author's life, i.e., youth, teen, and adult. Some reflect the immortality of his youth, where he had visions of saving the world, and speaking truth to power. Others reflect his desire to be freed from incarceration, physically, emotionally, spiritually and mentally; all while he is wrongfully confined in an archaic world that eats away at the morality of man. The poems and stories come from a place of longing, suffering, and never-ending hope; in a place where the tangible is hard and inanimate. Despite being wrongfully incarcerated for 30 years, the author is still hopeful that he will be released.
