About the Book (Excerpts & Info)

YOUR OWN SOUL HANGS IN THE BALANCE

Caution: Reading this book may cause severe denial of self!


In a world of religious variety and various bibles one may find it difficult to decipher what is truth and what is flawed information. This book offers rich truth with a twist of simplicity anyone can understand. Follow along with the principles described in this book and encounter the Holy Spirit on an exciting journey towards our heavenly Father who truly loves His children.


We may meet lots of quality people. We do this time and time again. We may strive to conduct our life in a way we believe pleases God. Still, something is missing. Our personal world may be collapsing while we hold on for a roller coaster ride. We meet many people but may not be meeting God. This book helps you find the reason and puts you on the path that immediately causes you to gain God's favor.


The anointing comes from an anointed life, not the application of scripture alone. Scriptures are words and the scriptural Word of God/spoken Word of God makes a person clean. When a person is finally clean, God can then pour in "new wine" into the new vessel (a person/not a book). He does not pour new wine into old wineskins. Biblical/scriptural studies of how to receive the Holy Spirit give little information about the anointed vessel/heart who asked the Holy Spirit to enter the life of another believer. While a formulation of scriptural text is beneficial toward "study", it is the application and understanding of God's word in the life of a believer that can transmit the power of God directly into another person's life. While someone can have some understanding of God's word, their proper application of His word may be lacking. As you ponder if you should purchase from "this source" or "that source", the release of the Holy Spirit anointing upon your life hangs in the balance. If you are not enticed to seek God at this particular website, may you truly find your source from another anointed vessel who lives a life according to God's word (it's the life of the Spirit-filled person you want to understand). You know according to "the result" and should make a note of where the result came about. The gift of God is free to all but because something is "freely given" by God doesn't mean there is not a price to pay. For example, free food is not always appreciated because the quality may be very poor. Free cheese, free butter, free "ebook" may only be attractions that have another agenda in mind. If you want God you have to be willing to pay the price of "listening to that inner voice" you may have ingnored. Even free things have a cost and hopefully it is not diarrhea later on. Being "politically correct" gets thrown out of the window and if you want the "result" of having the Holy Spirit, my ebooks/books are always prime-cut choice. You should understand that Jesus preached only the Gospel of the kingdom of heaven or gospel of the kingdom of God and warned if anyone preaches any other gospel despite using scriptural simularities. People are easily tricked and get tired of being deceived. Their concept of Holy Spirit is "freely" watered down to some weak concept of acceptance only while they are still lacking the literal powerhouse the Holy Spirit truly is.


This particular book captures some key aspects on a journey that ushers the seeker into God's rich presence of joy and an anointing that is certainly capable of fulfilling the will of God for the reader. It guides the sincere seeker to finding God's presence in any circumstance or situation. Sit on the edge of your seat as you read the wholesome Word of God in a conversational flow you can understand, appreciate and derive the result of God's free gift. Do not allow anyone to "water down" your understanding of God's Holy Spirit.
