It is wondrous how God chooses to bless people by guiding them on His path for them. as can be found in this Part One 1932 - 72 memoir of author Captain Manny Sousa, US Navy(ret), raised in an Army family during the Great Depression, World War Two, the Korean War, and the Cold War through 1955. Following Manny’s commissioning as a Navy Ensign and designation as a naval aviator in 1956, he flew the first carrier-based aircraft capable of delivering nuclear weapons on his initial Western Pacific carrier deployment. During Vietnam War deployments in 1964 and 1966, Manny flew F-4 Phantoms. In 1968, 1970, and 1971 Vietnam deployments, he flew A-7 Corsair II’s for a total of 300+ combat missions. Sadly, resulting domestic stress contributed to the breakup of his marriage and continental separation from his four children. In 1969 Manny’s departed aunt Jean spiritually revealed herself to him in successive three hour conversations spanning three days, summarized in Chapter One. Ever since, Jean continued her heaven-sent companionship and loving guidance in his life. In contemplating why God would bless him so, a sinner who broke all the commandments, Manny concluded that it is now his ministry to share his miraculous experiences with Jean to encourage others to contemplate the Holy Spirit within themselves. By relating to the negative truths as well as the blessings in Manny’s life, may you fathom the depth of God’s grace and distinguish the Holy Spirit’s presence in your life, “given as a gift to live in every Christian from the moment of salvation.” (John 3:5, Acts 2:38), and then perhaps share your stories that you may please the Lord “to be used for ministry in the building up the body of Christ” (Eph. 4:11-13)

Life is about growth, and to grow we need God who works through man to be a guide, a mentor, a teacher. A teacher is a guide who has been the path before us. For a long time, and since the beginning of creation, man has been on this planet. Each generation has been a teacher to the next generation. In life, one grows up from infancy to old age. Their activities, behavior and beliefs determine what they will be. If taught in Christian homes, they will grow up practicing Christianity which focuses on the teaching of salvation. If they grow up in other religious settings, their lives will demonstrate their belief and faith accordingly, and they will live according to what they were taught. With this in mind, teaching is therefore the process of imparting knowledge from one person to another, and it affects children and followers who are brought up in different religious environment. The main point here is that different religious teachings will have effects on the growth of their children and followers.

Humanity’s innate desire for self-rule is nearly as deep and as strong as our instinct for survival. It normally runs beneath the conscious mind as a deep undercurrent. This desire to rule, to have things our way, has resulted in a deeply ingrained pattern of thought. I refer to this particular pattern of thought, or paradigm, as The God Complex. The God Complex runs through all of human culture everywhere keeping many from coming into the fullness of God’s glorious and eternal purpose for their lives.God desires a deeply intimate relationship with us that we might experience the fullness of His love. Many of us hunger for more of God. We long for something beyond what we’ve experienced in our daily lives and weekly church attendance. The Bible outlines where humanity went wrong and what is necessary to find true fellowship with our Heavenly Father. All we have to do is give up what was never ours to begin with—the right to rule ourselves independently of God.
Hal Bennett has earned several degrees throughout his lifetime; the highest standing on being his Doctoral Degree from Pittsburgh Theological Seminary in Pittsburgh, (DMin). He is married to Etta B. Holloway of Bowie, MD and he has three children and he has three grandchildren. He currently serves as the Senior Pastor, at Dulatown Presbyterian Church, Lenoir, NC and is a member of the Western Presbytery of North Caroline (WPNC).Within the Church (PWNC) we are united in faith as one - in the Body of Christ. We have been educated in the Church as a part of its Teachings, Beliefs (Confessions), Events (of the OT and NT) and the Pursuit of Excellence and Truth that have pulled a denomination in opposing directions. Worst, the Church has been complacent with regard to encouraging the eradication of systemic racism among its members that has created a sense of brokenness and powerlessness among people of color; despite the Church’s current Faith and Confessional Statements. The Church would rather act as if its unjust, loving actions towards its brothers and sisters (of color) in Christ is merely an unconsciousness bias as oppose to racism.

The food industry is giant, corrupt and out for themselves. It’s not like it used to be in the past. The world is about money, money and more money. And it's not about what's right or wrong. You can't trust supermarkets, hospitals or the news anymore. They're poisoning most of our foods and drinks with additives, depleting our nutrients and often adding toxins to our foods and environment. This book is to help you learn why you have pain, and to implement the tools that will help you become pain-free. Are you ready to learn these tools? A few questions for you first:* Are you ready, willing, and able to learn how to be healed?* Have you been to several doctors or practitioners and are still not healed?* Are you sick and tired of being sick and tired?* Do you want more spirit and balance in your life?* Are the diets that you have tried really not helping you feel better? If you said yes to one or more of these questions, then I am here to help you transform yourself. Instead of waking up feeling miserable or dragging throughout the day, you have within you the ability to feel excited and healthy and to look forward to starting each day.

In Pure Religion Don writes, "It's something powerfully spiritual when the Holy Spirit touches your heart with something radically different from anything you have ever done before. When we say 'Yes' to the Spirit's leading, all the resources of heaven are at our disposal." Here Don identifies and defines the origin and wellspring of pure religion....Joe Garman, President, American Rehabilitation MinistriesI believe this book has had the leading of the Holy Spirit, as Don wrote it immediately after he returned from Zambia, and for the next six weeks he was totally focused on the book. I heartily recommend it, if I say so myself!...Sally Workman ToddThis book is written to show you how much God wants to set you free. Free to worship and serve Him with abandon.

"The Ride of Our Lives, Lessons on Life, Leadership, and Love" is an inspirational story about a man and his family on a transformational journey as they bicycled across the United States. It is a powerful story about the resiliency required to overcome challenges. In 1983 John and Berti Gronski and their 15-month-old son Stephen set off on a bicycle tour across America. There were no ubiquitous mobile phones, no internet, no email, Google, or social media sites. The closest thing to connectivity was a payphone along a dusty road. John pulled Stephen in a bicycle trailer that resembled a pioneer's covered wagon. They traveled over 4,000 miles from Washington state to Pennsylvania. The trip was filled with adventures and enduring leadership lessons. "From Homer's Odyssey to Pirsig's Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, tales of travel, adventure, and self-discovery have always fascinated people. Likewise, John Gronski's The Ride of Our Lives regales readers with an inspirational and engaging story of a young family's cross-country bicycle trip that results in a life-long formation of character, family values, patriotic service and citizenship, and unshakable faith. Gronski skillfully weaves into his captivating story a wide range of military leadership principles, faith-based truths, and life lessons that serve as guideposts for the reader's own moral development. This book is a must read for all people interested in learning how one family's experience shaped their notion of character-based leadership through their encounters with and embracing of the best life has to offer." --John J. Sosik, Ph.D., Professor of Management and Organization, Penn State University, Great Valley School of Graduate and Professional Studies, Malvern, PA. John L. Gronski, Major General, USA (Ret.) is founder and CEO of Leader Grove Consulting, LLC (www.LeaderGrove.com). John is a much sought-after speaker and leadership seminar facilitator.

The vast entire universe was complete empty in darkness, it was a perpetual black emptiness all over the area. Then a small focus of energy emerged in power and knowledge with nothing to slow it or stop it from growing over the vast empty space.This focus of energy is God that had growing bigger and bigger in density and knowledge to create the visible and the invisible things in the universe.At one point in His existence God created his own beloved son Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. Created the universe, heavens and earth; mankind and gave us the planet Earth to live with everything that we may need be visible or invisible. In the beginning was the verve and the verve is God, our God and our creator. At one time God created the dinosaurs, the wales and the giants men before the mankind era.

The law from your mouth is more precious to me than thousands of pieces of silver and gold. Psalm 119:72 Confusion. Chaos. Divisiveness. Trampled truth.

They were adapted from the author's study of the Life Application Study Bible (NLT) by Tyndale House Publishers Inc.

99.9% percent of the people that I talk to say no one is perfect and you cannot live perfect, and there was only one perfect man. In contrast, the same amount of people believe that it is impossible to live above or apart from sin: however this is what Jesus commands and shows us how to do. Jesus never tells us to strive to do anything, but to enter the narrow gate. If and when we understand what Calvary and the blood of Jesus did and does for us, then, and only then, will you understand perfection.Through the book or powerful Scripture-based teaching, the author explores the New Covenant that God has made with His Children that is founded on the word of God.

Merriweather, and I live in Montgomery, Alabama. I was born in Greenville, Alabama. Because I have always like going to Pentecostal Churches, I began not to want to party anymore in 1981. I would later get sanctified, saved, and in 1985, filled with the Holy Spirit. When the Lord saved me, I began to read and study the Bible. The Lord revealed to me that because the painter is the last person to finish the job in a new construction, I would cover up other people's flaws like the blood of Jesus covers our sins.
