There is Power in the Name of Jesus Christ 
At the mention of the name of Jesus Christ, every situation must succumb, The name of Jesus is the most powerful name on earth and in heaven. God the father of all things gave Jesus Christ of Nazareth the "name that is above every name" (Philippians 2:9). The name of our Messiah is fearful in the kingdom of darkness; Jesus name is so powerful because of the humiliation that he endured, the sacrifice He made to die on Calvary Cross for sins he did not commit. 
Jesus Christ accepted to die between two thieves on the cross like a common criminal—even though his life was righteous, Jesus lay down his life for us all, in his death, and being resurrected. Jesus Christ the son of God made a way through salvation where there seems to be no way for all of humanity to be saved and made right with God:  
Salvation is free to all seekers that believe and calls on the name of the Lord will be saved" (Romans 10:13; The name "Jesus" is spiritually powerful because of the covenant of his death on the cross that made a way for our salvation.  
Therefore God Almighty found Jesus worthy to be called the savior of earth because he agreed to lay down his own life as a ransom to pay the price for each and every of our soul, for this purpose Jehovah has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, so that at the mention of Jesus name every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father."  
Believe in the name of Jesus Christ and every situation in your life will be compels to bow down and worship Jesus the Lord of lords and King of kings to the glory of God of all creation. No matter the health challenges, the financial stress,the relationship dramas, the work place power struggles and many countless situation Jesus is King.

Throughout his life, Lincoln consulted oracles; at age 22, he was told by a seer that he would become president of the United States. In his dreams, he foresaw his own sudden death. Trauma and heartbreak opened the psychic door for this president, whose precognitive dreams, evil omens, and trance-like states are carefully documented in this bold and poignant chronicle of tragic beginnings, White House séances, and paranormal eruptions of the Civil War era. Aided by the deathbed memoir of his favorite medium, Lincoln's remarkable psychic experiences comes to life with communications from beyond, ESP, true and false prophecies, and thumbnail sketches of the most influential spiritualists in his orbit.

Everyday People Extraordinary...

James M. Kouzes, Barry Z. Posner

From the authors of The Leadership Challenge, Everyday People, Extraordinary Leadership is a TLC for individual contributors. Leadership is not about position, power, or place but about behavior. It's about what you do, not who you are. Ever since the first edition of The Leadership Challenge in 1987, Kouzes and Posner have said that "leadership is everyone's business." However, except for The Student Leadership Challenge, they have not (yet) written a book specifically for those who are not in formal leadership roles in organizations. Almost all examples in the six editions of TLC are people in managerial roles in the workplace. This book is for the audience the previous books do not reach: people who are not in formal leadership roles.There already exists a Leadership Is Everyone's Business (LIEB) workshop with materials offered through Workplace Learning Solutions, which this book will complement. Everyday People, Extraordinary Leadership draws from and builds upon material from existing works and is consistent with the TLC framework, but adds all new stories related to this particular audience.
