The ancient wisdom of the Akasha brought into modern life to awaken your inner potential for spiritual growth, self-improvement, and an expansion of your understanding of the world.
My main purpose in writing this book was for my own understanding of what faith is and how can I increase my faith in God. I needed to know what faith actually is and what it means to have faith in Jesus Christ. As I looked deeper into this topic I learned a lot about faith, such as there is a difference between faith and belief. I learned where I can go to increase my faith and I have seen some amazing examples of people who had enough faith to accomplish some amazing things in their lives. I realise the importance faith has in my salvation and that I am justified before Almighty God by faith. I now understand how vital it is to have this faith in our modern, fast paced and ever changing world. When you listen to this audio book I hope you can learn some of these aspects about your own faith and apply what you will read in God’s holy scriptures to grow your own understanding and make some necessary changes to your life.Voir livre
"Divinity of the soul is our birthright. We do not acquire divinity through yoga. What we acquire is belief in our divinity. All the practices of prayer, bathing in holy rivers, and telling the beads of the rosary are practices for gaining belief in ourselves, in our innate purity. Breath-control and meditation concentrate the mind, through which we feel the peace of the soul. Charity, austerity, vows of fasting – these give us faith that we are already pure." - from the Introduction by Swami Adiswarananda Chapter 1 Swami Vivekananda at Thousand Island Park Chapter 2 Sri Ramakrishna As A Guru Chapter 3 My Master Sri Ramakrishna Chapter 4 Song of the SannyasinVoir livre

At the end of the short book of Habakkuk, the prophet said that even if all the crops in Israel were to yield no produce and even if all the livestock in Israel died off, he would rejoice and take joy in God (3:17-18). Even if the earth suffered chaos in apocalyptic proportions, Habakkuk would trust God. God had made him strong, so he would move forward, trusting God despite all he saw (3:19). That is how the book ends. But it is not how it begins. At the start of his book, Habakkuk was reeling. He questioned God. He was upset at God. And he longed to know what God was doing because, in Habakkuk's mind, God wasn't doing anything. So what happened that took this man from despair to trust? A conversation with God—a conversation recorded in these three brief chapters. In their dialogue, Habakkuk fixates on a problem as he saw it, God gives a promise to Habakkuk and the world, and Habakkuk then praises God for what he heard before concluding with a strong song of faith. The conversation changes Habakkuk. He progressed from worry to worship and from fear to faith. In (un)Reasonable Trust, author-pastor Nate Holdridge considers the progression Habakkuk passed through. Seeing his process helps us develop a trust in God that is not based on reasons we can see with our own eyes or logic (unreasonable, or without reasons), but a trust that is based on his nature (reasonable, or with reasons). And this level of trust is what God desires. He said, "The righteous will live by his faith," and Habakkuk shows us a man who got there (Habakkuk 2:4).Voir livre
