The messenger


Book Description

In this modest work of ours, we offer an opportunity for transformation for those who are interested in personal elevation or in building a life model that is more in line with their interests. In fact, this proposal is not an imposition of us, the presenters of this content, but the content itself offers the conditions so that each person can rebuild their personal life, as long as they feel this need and are genuinely willing to pay attention to what we are trying to do. to share with our readers. Those who agree with our proposal, understand, accept and apply what we present here will be able to become more fulfilled individuals in the path they choose to follow. In the pages of this book, we will reveal to readers the true meaning of the teachings taught by Master Jesus as an inheritance. We will show each reader that the wisdom transmitted by the Nazarene Master is the key so that all of us, without exception, can build the life we desire, freeing ourselves from fears, limitations and shackles that keep us tied to a model of life that is not is healthy for us. Jesus left an impressive legacy of knowledge about the powers latent in each individual's soul. He taught us that because of our divine sonship, because we are all children of God, we are capable of accomplishing things we cannot even imagine. The Master of Galilee repeated several times that we can do even the same things that He, Jesus, did and even greater things. Jesus was a messenger of light, love, humility, beauty and wisdom. The time has come to dedicate ourselves to learning the legacy left by the Jewish Master. The New Testament is an invaluable heritage, in fact, the most valuable of all, as it provides us with the wisdom to elevate our existence to any level we desire. Each of us can achieve everything we desire, without cost or sacrifice, just by dedicating ourselves to doing what we desire, and allowing our direct and constant connection with the divine force, which creates and sustains all existences, to perform building actions to manifest your desires. Whether we desire peace, love, financial prosperity, or anything else, our connection with our Creator grants us this. This is what we share with our readers through these pages; no one in the world needs to live a standard of life that does not satisfy their interests. In our book, we invite everyone to reflect on the teachings of the Messiah and why the Nazarene Lord tried so hard to teach us how to free ourselves from invisible captivity, which imprisons us in distressing situations of fear, anxiety and worries about the future. Once we truly understand who we are, we will no longer be subject to any limitations or restrictions on our interests.




Holy Fire Fell


Book Description

Why do we worship as we do? What are the forgotten practices once central to many early Nazarene congregations? Because historical events and other factors have shaped and molded the various worship patterns found in local congregations, the way in which contemporary Nazarenes worship is no accident. Like other descendants of the American holiness movement, Nazarene worship is influenced by events predating our denominational forebears. This text explores the history behind current worship trends for a crucial reason: the very act of worship shapes and forms worshipers. Beliefs and attitudes are forged not merely by what is heard from the pulpit, but also by what is done bodily in the pew. Ellis examines the liturgical concerns and practice of John Wesley as well as those of early Nazarene pioneers in an attempt to address these issues. In so doing, the book provides a historical resource for denominational leaders, pastors, and congregations. At the same time, it aims to help congregations both to appreciate our rich ecclesial history and to critically evaluate current worship practices in order that they may truly be transformational.




Seventy Weeks Prophecy: How the Bible Foretold the Year Jesus(As) and Muhammad(Saw) Will Come on Earth


Book Description

Volume One of this book will discuss about the true gospel of Jesus(as) which is about the imminent coming of the Son of Man and the establishment of the universal Kingdom of God on earth. We will emphasize the fact that the entire ministry of Jesus(as) is all about the good news of the imminent fulfillment of the “Son of Man Prophecy” and the “Kingdom of God Prophecy” of Prophet Daniel(as) as written in the Bible. Based on the correct context and interpretation, the Son of Man mentioned by Jesus(as) refers to Prophet Muhammad(saw) and the Kingdom of God refers to Islam. Volume Two will discuss about the fulfillment of the 70 Weeks Prophecy of Prophet Daniel(as). That this prophecy is actually a countdown to know the year Jesus(as) and Muhammad(saw) will come on earth. Jesus(as) is expected to arrive in the 69th Week of the countdown, and Prophet Muhammad(saw) will arrive in the 70th Week of the countdown. Its exact fulfillment in history (such as the year of their birth, the starting year of their ministry and the year their respective messianic mission will be accomplished) is a miracle or sign from Allah swt (Qur’an 20:133) and a clear evidence (Qur’an 61:6) attesting the veracity of the prophethood of both Jesus(as) and Muhammad(saw). This will explain to us why there are Jews who knew what time or year Jesus(as) will arrive on earth; and why there were Jews in Yathrib Arabia who knew what time or year Muhammad(saw) will emerge as Messenger of God.




Women and the Landscape of American Higher Education


Book Description

The post-millennial vision of nineteenth century America led to greater educational opportunities for women, but these were focused on women's domestic efficacy in developing "messianic mothers" to help create the kingdom of God on earth. Yet, by embracing the doctrine of sanctification, Wesleyan Holiness women were able to move from "women's sphere" (domesticity) to the public sphere (public ministry), which they had come to see as their intended place. Not only did they make this shift for themselves, but they created Christian institutions of higher education that provided opportunities for both women and men to prepare for public ministry. At the beginning of the twentieth century, a new force would enable women to further demonstrate their equality in the work of the Lord. In 1901, the Pentecostal movement was ushered in when Agnes Nevada Ozman became the first person in the modern era to speak in tongues. This movement saw the promise and fulfillment of equal empowerment of men and women for service by the Holy Spirit, which sent individuals throughout the world to further the kingdom of God. As the theological shift from a postmillennial to a premillennial view occurred, opportunity became necessity as priority was given to the creation of schools to prepare ministers to reach lost souls before the return of Jesus. The founding of such schools was pioneered by Wesleyan Holiness and Pentecostal women who carried the torch as their movement grew into the twentieth century. This book compiles the inspiring stories of some of the most notable women who, from society's perspective stepped outside established roles to claim a significant place in the history of American higher education.

In Need of Your Prayers and Patience


Book Description

The Church of the Nazarene embraces American attachments to democratic rule, individual initiative, efficiency, and a strong sense of responsibility as "a city on a hill." It is also present in more than 150 world areas. These attributes are reflected in the astounding story of one of the founders of the denomination, H. F. Reynolds, who has been long hidden in the shadow of his early colleague, Phineas Bresee. While the church points to Bresee as its founding father, Reynolds lived and served for an additional two decades following Bresee's death, shaping the role of the General Superintendency, clarifying and expanding the church's Manual to meet the needs of the growing denomination, and establishing mission policies and practices that took it from a US church to a global presence. Reynolds maintained a lively devotion to Christ as he survived train wrecks, war, dread disease, and the sheer volume of meetings, correspondence, and explosive scandal that came with the nurturing of a new church. His vision and methods have profoundly influenced a denomination that does not know his name. This volume is designed to make the introduction.
