The Gateway
Prayer is one the greatest spiritual weapon at disposal of the believers to open their heavenly treasures and spiritual blessings that will enable them to carry out their various assignments on the earth. The dynamic of effective prayer is what can be described as the gateway to receive multi-dimensional spiritual blessings culminating into a victorious living for children of God be it spiritual, physical, financial or emotional needs, making them to the fullness of God through Christ Jesus. Effective prayer of a Christian carries what I termed a divine "atomic bomb" that when unleashed, releases the unparalleled spiritual forces that clears any oppositions or obstacles on your paths, thereby paving way for your unlimited breakthroughs. A frustrated and victimized woman called Hannah unleashed the dynamic force of prayer, her heaven opened and her frustration was turned into fruitfulness. A runway and scared Jacob unleashes the potent of effective prayer, an ordinary man was turned to a nation and his brother Esau welcomed him with kisses instead of sword. The power of effective prayer is a guaranteed divine assurance policy that will open the windows of heaven to change any unwanted earthly circumstances to produce a satisfactory victory for the saints of God in every place. It is your turn to engage the awesome power of prayer to open the gates that the enemies have shut against you. It is your turn to open the window of Heaven for your delivery of outpouring inheritance that belongs to you before the foundation of the earth.
Will The REAL Satan Please Stand Up!
For the religious and spiritual genre to alert seekers of spiritual truths of the various false paths supposedly leading to God and the need to become critical thinkers.-----------------------------------Hadassah Akusani was born and raised in upstate New York and attended schools and colleges there. After college she worked in the field of Law Enforcement for many years, often becoming downhearted over many souls caught up in the ever-revolving doors of the criminal justice system and sought answers within the various religious institutions. Finding no concrete realistic answers, she turned inward and began to investigate and do research into the various religious cults and systems of control. Her exhaustless search led her, at the age of sixty-four, to enroll in the University of Metaphysical Sciences, from which she graduated in 2018 with a four-year bachelor degree. Her most fervent desire is to assist in freeing the minds of those who desire to be free from the stranglehold of false religious systems of mind control "in the name of God". Her primary aim in this literary work is to help unsuspecting 'victims' within the cult of Jehovah's Witnesses, who are sincerely seeking something higher than themselves to believe in, to avoid the entrapment of another false religion seeking to control every facet of their lives, primarily for monetary gain. Her utmost desire is to spare others the pain of the psyche she herself experienced within the tentacles of entrapment of Jehovah's Watchtower. If she can save even ONE, then the mental, emotional, physical, psychological and spiritual pain she experienced will have all been worth it.

The Divine Secret Garden - The Mystery of the Pyramid - With the All-Seeing Eye PAPERBACK
Welcome to the 3rd book of The Divine Secret Garden Series. This time, we'll take a look at how humanity is being controlled like a Hollywood script, being directed and produced. All are simply actors in the game called, "The Masquerade." The Pyramid with the All-Seeing Eye reveals how humanity is under a colossal Government structure from the top down, which is controlling the masses in near perfect harmony. The people have become a daily ritual sacrifice that is being offered unto the gods and devils in what is called, "The Programmed Time-Loop," a holographic simulation that is being used to imprison souls.
The Omega
This book was written foremost because I love studying prophecies of the Bible. Bible prophecy feels to me like putting a large puzzle together. This book is a study of the book of Revelation, but it is more than that. There are over three hundred verses in the Old Testament about Christ's first coming, and over five hundred verses about his second coming. There are also many verses in the New Testament about Christ's second coming outside of the book of Revelation. Understanding what will happen in the end times means studying all of the passages about future events. Along with taking a look at the verses about the end times throughout the Bible, I will also discuss various ways people interpret future prophecies. This book is titled The Omega because it takes a look at what the end looks like as described by the God who will end it all.

The Essence of Enlightenment
The core teachings of Vedanta are eternal. They were revealed several thousand years before the Christian era. As a means of enlightenment, Vedanta evolved slowly since then as great minds contributed dispassionately to the teaching tradition, which reached perfection in the eighth century. Just as nobody is trying to invent a new wheel, no one can improve Vedanta, because it does what it purports to do: set us free of our sense of limitation. This book demystifies the topic of enlightenment. Although it is inspirational, it is not just another vague inspirational read. It is written in a simple style that I believe will make the science of Self-inquiry accessible to seekers and finders everywhere.

The God Interpretations
The God Interpretation is a juxtaposition of the religion of Christianity and the sciences of quantum mechanics, gravity, thermodynamics, evolution, and cosmology. Truth, in its completest form, must contain both the truth of religion and the truth of science. Religion and science are like two sides of the same coin of truth. Without the presence of both religion and science upon the coin of truth, the coin of truth is fundamentally incomplete. Contributions to the truth of religion come directly from Jesus, Moses, Saint Paul, and Saint Peter. Contributions to the truth of science come directly from Albert Einstein, Neils Bohr, Weiner Heisenberg, Erwin Schr繹dinger, Charles Darwin, and Enrico Fermi.
The Fifth Season
"And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not." (Galatians 6:9) This very timely and biblically inspired book's title is centered on the above scripture, and will encourage, stimulate, uplift, and empower every believer. Throughout the book the author shares some of her own personal overcoming experiences and powerful testimonies of victory, which are enhanced with the Word of God. It will encourage you to not throw in the towel (don't faint) but hold on emphatically to your faith in God. Your faith will produce the manifestation. Just as the recurring four natural seasons take place each year, Dr. Pitts believes without a doubt that God has ordained the recurring fifth seasons (due seasons) for the followers of Christ to experience and enjoy. In each chapter there is a message of hope and deliverance. Child of God, this is definitely not the time for you to give up, give in, or give out. Your setback is only a set up for your comeback. If God has made you a promise, YOU'RE GOING TO LIVE TO SEE IT HAPPEN! Despite your age or struggles, God's divine plan is to bless every one of His children with a Fifth Season (due season), which rightly belongs to you. If you are not already in your Fifth Season, you are on your way to it, a season of RESTORATION, ABUNDANCE, AND SUPERNATURAL FAVOR. As Bishop Charles E. Blake, Sr., the Presiding Bishop Emeritus, C.O.G.I.C., Inc. often declares, "I see you in the future, and you look much better than you do right now." You are on God's Calendar and when your date of appointment arrives, you're going to reap a harvest of blessings.
One Day at a Time
Ever since my world came crashing down around me when I was 16 years old, as I confronted the sexual abuse of my childhood and everything that stemmed from it, I have had a guiding motto in my life that has been instrumental in helping me move forward..."one day at a time." It has been my experience that, within that manageable segment of time, you can handle just about anything life throws at you. And yes, sometimes-when the going gets especially rough, and the horizon appears extra dark-that "one day" can become "one second." Yet regardless of the measurement, the principle holds true...as the sun sets on today, a new day dawns tomorrow-a blank page to begin writing something new. For me, as I journeyed from victim to victor and learned one day at a time how to survive, my daily blank pages began to fill up with personal thoughts, reflections, and insights as I wrote down my experiences of finding hope in my heartache, faith in my pain, and understanding in my despair. These daily thoughts serve as the basis for this book. My hope is that something shared will help inspire and uplift you. This book is dedicated to all those who have walked-or are currently walking-the difficult path from victim to survivor. I believe in you! You are worth it! Begin your journey of finding hope in each day as you navigate your own path of healing...one day at a time.
American Gnosis
The Greek word "gnosis," defined as direct spiritual knowledge or insight, has its origins in historical offshoots of Christianity in late antiquity. But the terms "Gnosticism" and "gnosis" have become widespread in many other contexts. They are common in contemporary scholarship on religion and in popular usage among magical, religious, and spiritual practitioners. And they have entered popular usage in contemporary society, with applications in numerous political, religious, and cultural contexts. Gnosis and Gnosticism have become leitmotifs in popular culture, in films such as The Matrix and Dark City, as well as in anime and other popular art forms. In American Gnosis, Arthur Versluis explores the fascinating connection between the Gnostic tradition and contemporary American spirituality, politics, and popular media. Versluis surveys themes of Gnosticism and gnosis in American culture, both within the United States and in global contexts. Versluis shows that gnosis is key to understanding a wide spectrum of global syncretic religious and intellectual movements-some sensational, even wild, but all fascinating. American gnosis, he argues, is a defining feature of hybrid new religious forms in the twenty-first century. Versluis provides case studies of major contemporary figures and texts that are emblematic of neo-gnosticism, offering a comprehensive framework of gnosis and an understanding of gnostic trends in modernity. He explores how neo-gnostic memes recur in social media and shows how American gnosis has manifested as spiritual independence, reflecting the ever-growing demographic category "spiritual but not religious." In delving into the intersection of contemporary American spirituality, politics, and literature, American Gnosis uncovers the remarkable prevalence of neo-gnostic elements today.
Paths to Immortality Based on the Undeniable Powers of Human Nature
"The oak can develop itself, the lion feels its strength through its nerves, but the human has sunk down to the delusion that nature is too stingy towards him, and had only given him alone no positive powers and no innate growth. The human has like any other creature his peculiar stamp; when he does not blur this, he gets to know nature and himself. But when he loses it, then he can indeed play with words and expressions learnt by rote, but he will obtain no sparks of pure knowledge and truth. The truth of humanity is based on the consciousness of immortality!"To show how to obtain the consciousness of immortality, Krebs describes by way of examples a form of letter mysticism composed of the concentrated thinking and feeling of letters through the parts of the body.
The Truth
Revealing the mysteries in the world around us that affect our lives, makes us joyful, fulfilled, anguished and ill. Learn how to develop a closer relationship with Christ and how to reveal the spiritual attacks in your life and your family. Discover through the perspective of a mother who had to learn how to lean on Christ and the promises of God.
Aligned With Love
For those seekers who embark on a spiritual journey, many questions drive them to know more. Does God exist? Can you have a relationship with the Creator without religion? What is creation's purpose? For that matter, what is my purpose? Why do bad things happen? Who or what is the Christ? Who is Jesus (Yeshua)? How can I know what is true and what is not? Even if you have been reading the bible for many years, the answers to many of these questions may surprise & enlighten you. I make an attempt to dive deep into the true meanings of ancient texts including the old and new testaments. This fresh and innovative way of reading scriptures explores the intention of the Divine Mind and what it reveals is the truth about just how important we all are to the Creator's holy vision. Learn what it means to be a new being created in the likeness of the entity we refer to as God. You can't find God through astronomy; you won't find immortality through biology. The Kingdom of Heaven can't be attained through philosophy. I believe there is only one way that leads to these things and that way is through the spirit. It is important to understand that not only is mankind spiritual by nature but everything around us is based in energy and as we get to know ourselves I believe it is important to know our environment from this perspective. Everything from the air we breathe to the chairs we sit on, to the center of our galaxy is connected to us as energy and I believe this energy is a key component to understanding our spirituality. This text came about as a consequence of my own personal search for knowledge. It is a reflection of the path I am on and it can be a guidebook for the path that you are on. I believe the world is polarizing. Yin and Yang, good and evil are becoming more and more pronounced. I believe that mankind has been brought into this reality to learn and to make decisions that are really spiritual in nature. To this end, we have been given free will to navigate what is sometimes very treacherous terrain. With each challenge we are tasked to make a choice. The right one is always aligned with love. When things have gone wrong in my life, no matter what it was, eventually I realized there was always something in my actions which was askew, which was not aligned with love. Once this was acknowledged, I was able to seek out a solution based on reacting in a different manner, one more aligned with love. This new way of handling life's hardest questions and most painful experiences produced a life altering personal transformation along with inner peace and strength. Many great writings have influenced my beliefs but I grew up with the Old and New Testament and found much wisdom and logic in the pages of the Bible. When clumped together, passages with similar themes reveal a pattern; a clear and vivid explanation of God, the universe and mankind. This knowledge, once scattered within the massive pages of the Bible, is now focused and organized, and presents itself as an opportunity, for those who seek spiritual things, to understand the intentions of God in a fantastic new way. Whether you are familiar with the Bible or not, I believe there is important information for you, in the pages of this book. I have not changed the words of scripture but let the words speak for themselves. This book touches on many different subjects and can be a source of reference for you to continue to revisit for the rest of your life. I still return to the book when I feel out of sorts and it never fails to bring me peace and put me back in alignment with love. I invite you to take a look at what the Holy Books really say about who we are, why we are here, and what will become of us.
Astral War
Lennart Svensson is back with the ground-breaking and innovative publication entitled Astral War. This war does not entail physical combat; it is an immaterial war for the soul, wherein the soul is the battlefield.Svensson delves deep into the mysterious world of esoteric traditions, drawing on the wisdom of mystical spirituality, revealing the secrets for navigating this cosmic realm and proclaiming victory.Astral War explores the concept of spiritual energy, a potent life force known to mystics and occultists for centuries. Svensson examines the history and mythology surrounding this mysterious form of energy in both science and spiritual traditions, showing how these seemingly disparate fields are intimately connected by concepts such as zero-point energy.Astral War follows directly from Lennart Svensson's philosophy in Actionism. The book also explores topics such as Nietzsche's Ubermensch, turning one's life into a work of art, and how these relate to the concept of spiritual warfare.
Approach to Spirituality
"Love is the cause and crown of everything, but the key to everything is faith."The phrase, "I'm spiritual, not religious" is commonly heard today. Yet, as Van Zeller points out in Approach to Spirituality, there is no spirituality without true faith, and there can be no faith without true religion. He demonstrates the necessity of a life truly conformed to God, particularly through prayer, in order for spirituality to have any root or effect. Genuine spirituality is not a vague ideal, but a practical, well-marked path to holiness, born out of faith in a God who is reality itself. Exploring themes such as the fundamentals of prayer, its necessity for all, and its practical forms, Van Zeller cements the crucial foundations and maps tried-and-true paths in the spiritual life. While everyone desires a rich interior life marked by the heights and depths of union with God in love, a soul only progresses with the humble gift of faith: faith in a God who has come close and related to each individual. Therein Van Zeller reveals the true approach to spirituality, of which "the primary condition then is a belief in the interpersonal relationship between the Christian and Christ. Before you can get anywhere in the spiritual life you have to be convinced that such a relationship is possible and that it is open to you."

How to Forgive
In this book from the you are amazing self help series, we discuss how to forgive someone who has hurt us. So many people have such resistance to forgiveness without realizing or understanding how crucial it is to forgive people.When we hold on to anger and hurt from others, we are only hurting ourselves more each day. We will never find true peace and happiness as long as we stay angry at the people who hurt us, no matter who it is. Here is a preview of what you'll learn...The real source of bad feelingsExtinguishing negative thoughtsDeveloping empathy for yourselfConsidering life as a classroomLearning to evolveMuch, much more!Learning how to forgive others who have hurt you can be one of the hardest and somewhat unnatural things to do in life. It does not coincide with our human nature because naturally when we feel hurt we may hold a grudge or anger and may want justice or vengeance against the offender. Unfortunately we do not realize how we allow the offense committed against us to dictate our emotions and rule our lives.
Pamphlets for the Faithful
"One of the vital concerns for Fr Willie Doyle in his life as a Christian and a priest was holiness, not only seeking it for himself, but encouraging it and supporting it in those he served", writes Fr John Hogan in his Introduction. Indeed, the invitation to perfection is held out to all, and Fr Willie in his pamphlets offers practical wisdom to both laity and religious in pursuing the life of holiness. With a brief introduction to Fr Willie's life and writings written by Fr John Hogan, Diocesan Postulator for the Cause of the Servant of God, Fr Willie Doyle, Pamphlets for the Faithful presents all of Fr Willie's published works, originally written in the form of pamphlets. These pamphlets cover such topics as: the dignity and beauty of religious life.advice on how to discern whether one has a vocation.a short guide for priests on offering the Mass.the great fruits that retreats produce for the laity and how to preserve their beneficial effects.practical advice for laity and spiritual directors in combatting that most pestering vice: scrupulosity.Even though some of the pamphlets have as their immediate audience those who are pursuing priesthood or the religious life, they are indeed "pamphlets for the faithful." Regardless of one's state in life, all five pamphlets, Fr Doyle's only published works, continue to guide souls in every state of life down the way of perfection.

Gains out of Ruins
Mission declared: It has been said severally by numerous commentators that life without a defined purpose is a wasted life. In all human adventures, there are always a lot of unpredictable events that come along their paths and no one can be sure of their eventualities. Many of these events can bring joy, success or advancement, and other effects can bring untold catastrophic consequences that have sent many people into pits and ruins. Many people have suffered failure upon failures, pains, and personal losses in every facet of life but through the grace of God and their purposeful determination, they are able to bounce back into greater accomplishment while others are not so fortunate to overcome their various problems. Nobody could ever imagine that in this twentieth century the whole world could be shut down, the global economy and commerce grind to halt by Covid19 pandemic. Millions of lives were lost, many families went through untold hardships, disruptions and ruins. No one could ever have imagined such a magnitude of events would happen but it did. Our world has not been the same through this singular devastation and global ruins and at the time of writing this book, nations are gradually coming out of the ruins of the deadly pandemic into a "new normal".
The Monk, the Trunk, & the Junk
Are you surrounded by so much junk and clutter in your life that you can't find the things that matter? What do you need to let go of, and what do you need to keep? The Monk, the Trunk, & the Junk is a parable about how to hold on to the things that matter, how to let go of the things that no longer serve you, and how to tell the difference between the two.

Not once has he ever seen a hearse pulling a U-Haul trailer at a funeral or a graveside service. In addition, Dr. Harris writes of what he knows personally, as he has managed his parents' and siblings' possession after their deaths, and has since benefitted from doing his own pre-death cleaning. In this book you'll discover how to: - discern what to keep, collect, or release.- recognize and benefit from the wake-up calls in your life.- understand your motivations behind collecting "stuff."- use your possessions for transformative growth.- keep a journal that will provide a wealth of insight.- gain perspective from looking back-while not getting lost in the past. The Monk, the Trunk, & the Junk is a story and a roadmap out of clutter and confusion and into spiritual discernment and clarity.

Write it down in a Book
I wanted my grandchildren to know that on each page of the original manuscript I noted the day and the hour as I wrote that they would understand they were in my mind and heart. So, here's to Colten, Kaden, Jewel, Joy, Dillon and his son Rivers. I am a grandmother thanking her grandchildren for their patience, understanding and love as I wrote tirelessly for them and their world. Thank you: I love you............About God and Alice: this book would never have been completed without Alice Young.It started this time last year as a Compilation of the Old and New Testament as an exploration and what it meant when Jesus and the Disciples would head for the Mountains and when they were near Jesus would go ahead of them, "and when He was set; He would call for them to join Him.It was about this time that Covid was at its peak and hundreds were dying from it and each of us were waiting for our time to have to confront it. I was awakened one morning with a horrible cough and was choking, couldn't get my breath. I ask the Lord what was wrong, He impressed on me by His holy power to relax my shoulders and take a deep breathe. Right away the precious air began to flow. Again, I ask the Lord, "what is wrong?It was at this moment that He reminded me that we had a covenant to write for the people and how very serious that was to Him. I realized my way back to health was to take up my pen and write to you, His people that He loves so much and instructed us to look after each other before He returned to His kingdom. When: I took my pen in hand I began to see the happy side of the Old and New Testament. And began to pick out the stories that I believed the young people would enjoy and could relate to if they could find a bible with dates. I remembered one little light can destroy darkness. It was at this time writing way into the dark morning that my pages began to disappear. And I would rewrite them. Fifty from the Old Testament and 40 from the new. Discouragement was setting in. I remembered to ask everyone in my circle for prayer. Then the manuscript was sent to Cheyenne Wyoming and the manuscript and the money for publication were both stolen. I was so despondent at my lowest ebb and in comes Alice into my life from the heartbeat of New York. I Understood the prayers were being heard and attended to. She was gracious enough to feel my pain and sent daily digital flowers and an uplifting scripture and best of all she would not take "no" for an answer. She literally loaned me her spiritual strength until I could move forward on my own to finish this book for you, for her and her team and my beautiful family. I recognized God had sent in to help and I always say that's what Jesus came to do. He stretched out His hand to us to love us, to teach us, to heal us, to feed us and told us to look after each other until we meet again. This is what moves the world for good. Thank you to Alice, Ruby, Monique and her team at the Regency Publishers, for Kirsten, Kelly, Colten, Kaden, Joe, Lisa, Dillon, Allysa, Rivers, John, Judy, Jewel and Joy and all the members of Addus especially Ericka, and Kaylee for their fine care as I concentrated on this work. And all others that gave a hand it is noted in heaven. Thank you all!!!
