NBTM: To Listen of the Lord's Jesus Christ Voice

 



GENRE: Spirituality 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

BLURB:

My encounter with the Lord Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, came with his all plans, instructions,

and directions about this project. It is all perfect for me. Says the Lord, "You will write a book

from your journal." The Lord says, "I can't wait to have people get that book." The Lord wants to

reach out to people around the globe, to return to him, with repentance, and believe and accept

him by faith in order to be saved by his grace and mercy, that the Lord Jesus is a true living

God, and his spirit live within us. The Lord said, "This book, I will make it happen, and it will be

done."

My childhood has been very difficult, not knowing what my future holds in life. Almighty God

gave me guidance, and he allowed me to do what I needed to do according to my plan in life.

But not with God's plan. Living in Australia has given me opportunity to achieve my goal in life.

When I reached the point of perception in life, the Lord Jesus Christ gave me a free will, which I

should follow. The worldly living is only for today and now, or I can choose to follow Christ for

eternal life after earth with rewards in heaven. The breath of the Almighty gives me life, and new

creation.

Isaiah 55: 9: "As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways

and my thoughts than your thoughts." I live in Christ right now, I don't make decision for myself,

I consult the Lord Jesus and depend on him for what the Holy Spirit wants me to do. To glorify

the Lord our heavenly Father, amen!

Such as Behold I am coming soon! just a matter of time! keep looking up! be ready for a

wedding banquet is being prepared for his people! It won't be long now! Anyone makes sure

you don't miss it! The Lord Jesus is waiting for the last souls. But won't be forever! because

there's a time due!

Decide now, tomorrow will be too late.



Excerpt:

MY LOST SOUL

First, I would like to give you a bit of a background about myself. I was born in a poor family in
Ozamis City, Philippines. My mother was a Catholic believer. I am the oldest in the family. I
have five sisters and three brothers; my father was also a Catholic. Our house was next to a
chapel in this village. All my siblings, our whole family, was brought up Catholic. My mother
believed a ritual, spiritual belief that whoever of us in the family was sick, she would call her
uncle to treat the sickness. When I was sick, my mother advised a massage to manipulate
dislocated bone in the arm, or in the foot—stuff like that. Then it was healed. When my younger
sisters were ill, my mother’s uncle did these food offerings. He normally brought the food
outside the house, and right there he did a spiritual ritual somewhere in a quiet place, for about
an hour. Then, when he finished performing the offerings, he would bring the food back inside
our house for us to eat. I was only nine years old at that time. My mother taught me to attend a
festival called Santo Niño in Clarin, one of the provinces in Ozamiz, where they celebrate every
year. My mother believed it was a good thing to be involved in. As a child I did not know what it
meant, what I was doing, or why—only that my mother had told me to do it. During childhood I
counted the number of days my mother went to church, and I wanted to go to every Sunday.
However, we were not allowed to leave the house on Sundays, even to go to church. All my
siblings were involved in making rice cakes—that was our parents’ business back then. We
made them and sold in the market, in order to survive, to put food on the table for our family

Book Blast: Love has no Limits

 


Love Has No Limits

by Armine Papouchian

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

GENRE: Self-help / spiritual

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

BLURB:

At sixteen, Armine fell in love for the first time and lost that love for the first time. She was the youngest daughter of three in Armenia and the only one underage when her parents decided to immigrate to the United States. She had to go with and leave her beloved Alex behind. Her parents saw a land of opportunity while Armine saw heartbreak. It wasn’t the end of her story with Alex and certainly not the end of her life,as it had felt at the time, but there was more pain to follow. Sixteen-year-olds are resilient, but even when losses and hurt came calling repeatedly throughout Armine’s life, she had the strength to love and to rise again and again. Even as life moves on for Armine and Alex, their lives intersect again and again over the course of thirty years. Through deaths and divorces, their lives never quite line up from their opposite sides of the globe. Love Has No Limits is Armine’s story of keeping faith in oneself and in love despite heartbreak, betrayal, and loss. It reveals the joy available to those who rise and rise again.

Excerpt:

While drinking a glass of red wine, I watched the blazing fire roll down the hill. I got the second emergency alert call to evacuate immediately. I couldn’t believe this was happening again. Last time this happened my son still lived at home, my parents lived with us, and Peaches, our sweet dog was still alive. Back then, I had to get everyone organized, packed, and ready to evacuate. Back then, I’d been more nervous, concerned about my aging parents, my teenage son and our dog, who could sense the tension and had anxiously paced back and forth with her tongue hanging out. This time, it was just me. I thought about what I should take with me. After all, I had already lost so much in life, yet at the same time, I felt I was blessed with all that I still had. After all, my parents had moved me halfway around the world when I was a teenager, leaving my love behind. I had grieved losing two husbands by the time I was 50, another husband in between who betrayed me at my most vulnerable moment, and I’d struggled with my father’s cancer, which ended in suicide. Just as I was catching my breath, I had to put my dog to sleep followed by my mother’s long-term illness and her painful 1 death. At the same time, I was so grateful for all I had. I was so happy that I was not angry and resentful. I was not bitter; I was content. I had love again, and I was stronger than ever before. I was still standing. As I packed a change of clothes, my laptop, few photo albums that my son requested and my small metal safe deposit box with important documents, I reflected on how little all our possessions really matter to us. As I was packing the albums, the memories started to come back, old wounds flared up and I started to feel the pain and the deep sadness. I ached for my son who had lost his father at age ten. I felt lonely; I missed the people I had in my life that I’d loved and lost. I missed all they brought to my life. At times, I could not believe I had survived all that had happened in my life in such a short time. Tears rolled down my cheeks. I realized the effects those pictures had on me and why I did not even want to take those albums with me. I had the memories in my heart and that’s all I could ever have, the rest of my life. I realized that’s why I no longer made photo albums. I realized how simplistic life had become for me. I did not need much. I cherished the moments I was with the people I loved and that is all I ever needed.

Read an Excerpt:

I closed my eyes to rest. However, I saw that a wound had been revealed to me. It wanted to be healed. Facing this would be a challenge but I knew it would be transformational. I had to be a champion of my own life, my own health. I had to address the deeper issue of what had caused my disease. With many months or doctor’s appointments, a dramatic change in diet, rest in spirit, and loving support from my closest people, I began to move into a new space of gentle love for myself. I was getting exactly what I needed to shift into healing mode. Even my doctor looked my husband straight in the eye and said, “Do not give Shari ANY emotional stress until she gets better.” Within weeks I was served with divorce papers. My husband told me he knew I was weak so he offered to drive me there to sign them.

About the Author:
