Praying Through Acts – hinnat ja saatavuus

The word "Acts" is found in the word "actions." In Acts, Jesus left the apostles to do the work of spreading the Gospel all throughout the known world. By chapter 28, they've made a pretty significant dent - from Africa (Ethiopia), to Asia (Turkey), to Europe (Rome and possibly Spain). As you read, pray and meditate through Acts, get ready to hear that voice...the voice that turned Paul's life around...the voice that sent Philip into the desert to find a man reading Isaiah...the voice that comforted the apostles in jail for witnessing...the voice that told Paul to get arrested and face Caesar in Rome. That voice of the Holy Spirit always tells Christ followers to go, do and say-not sit, soak and relax. This is a dangerous book because it calls Christians to action. PRAYING THROUGH THE BIBLE SERIESWhat is God's word? Simply put, it is the word of God spoken to people long ago who transcribed that information into writing. That writing was meticulously passed down for thousands of years to speak to us today. How did God speak to people in Bible times? -Audibly - God spoke directly to people who heard him with their ears or in their heart.-Through situations - God spoke through the actions and events of this world.-Through people - God spoke through leaders, kings and prophets who proclaimed God's purpose.-Through prophecy - God spoke about future events, then those events happened.-Scripture - God spoke through his written word when people read those words later.-Prayer - God spoke through the prayers of people. PRAYING THROUGH THE BIBLE SERIES recognizes the power of God speaking to mankind through His Scriptures. God's word was not only meant to be read, but applied. We must apply ourselves to these passages and adjust our lives to God's will. Today, God uses many ways to speak to us. This book incorporates those avenues of communication to ensure that God will speak to you during your quiet time with Him. Each section asks the reader to do six things.1. Read the passage. Open up the Bible and read His Word.2. Memorize the passage. A certain verse is given special focus. Commit it to memory. Remember it all day.3. Understand the passage.
