This series of studies is a powerful message from the man of God, Rev. James Solomon. This teaching on dreams is not a common topic in the body of Christ, and even though the Bible has so much to say about dreams, the church of God does not see it as a subject that requires attention.
The man of God lists and fully discusses three major sources of dreams:
i. dreams from God,
ii. dreams from Satan, and
iii. dreams from the human mind.
He explains that those who complain of not dreaming may need special prayers as do those who dream but have difficulty in remembering their dreams because dreams are scriptural, and it is good to dream. A very important aspect that was dealt with in these teachings is how Satan affects our lives through dreams. Rev. James Solomon gives practical examples of some common dreams and further explains how destinies are changed through dreams.
Find liberty from ungodly dreams and hear God speak to you through dreams that come from Him as you listen to the messages in this book.
While lecturing on spiritual warfare at a Bible school in Japan some years ago, I had an encounter with a student who said she was not a born-again Christian and had never been to church--she was a Buddhist. During our conversation, she told me she had read so many books on Buddhism but had never read the Bible or read any book about God. In my reasoning with her, I asked her how was she to know anything about God whom she has not read about? If she wanted to know if God is better than Buddha, she would need to read the Bible to know who God is. She agreed with me, and I got her a Bible, which she promised to start reading.
I believe this encounter and many others are the reasons the Holy Spirit impressed it upon me to put together this deliverance workbook in order to help create an awareness and to enlighten the upcoming generation on this very important subject matter of deliverance that many seem to lack knowledge about.
This book explains all the major aspects of deliverance and is strongly recommended to all churches, ministries, ministers of God, prayer band/intercessory groups, prayer ministries, Bible schools, seminaries, and all other Christian organizations worldwide. The book addresses various topics such as What is deliverance?, Satanic kingdoms, Can a Christian have demons?, Satanic initiations, and much more. Rejecting the teachings on deliverance is sheer ignorance. It is time to rise up and build a militant army, to join hands with Jesus Christ in destroying the works of the devil (1 John 3:8).
In the Bible, we find out that Adam was the firstborn of God, in a manner of speaking. However, Adam was driven out of God's presence, care, provision, and protection, and unfortunately, so are most firstborns, especially first sons. Cain, Adam's firstborn, was also driven out and became a wanderer. Canaan, the firstborn of Ham, Noah's son, was cursed, and so was Reuben, the firstborn of Jacob. And the list goes on and on.
Moving on to our present day and age, we see a pattern of total disappointment among the firstborns or first sons in the family. They tend to be worthless, unstable, wayward, incapable of holding down a job or trade, and end up being failures in life. They can't concentrate on anything that will lead to a bright future and are often wandering or roaming from place to place.
The first son is usually the physical and spiritual inheritor of his father's legacy whether good or bad, blessings or curses, riches or poverty, etc. As a result, the firstborns and especially the first sons require special favor from God to prosper in life. God in His infinite mercies provided a way of escape for all firstborns and first sons, and that is redemption in Jesus Christ!
Deliverance of the Firstborn and First Sons is an in-depth study of firstborns and first sons. It extensively explores the general and scriptural overview as well as the hope of redemption for the firstborn and first sons. There are also prayer points to be used as a guide in the prayers of deliverance. This book is a must for all firstborns and first sons as well as believers, as it offers vital information on this topic that we need to know.
Who do you say your body belongs to? As a believer in Jesus, the answer should not be, Well, me, I guess. Unfortunately, many in the church have conformed to the patterns of this world in the way they treat what the Bible tells us is God's temple. As a result, the body of Christ grows sicker each year while we pray for healing and do little to address the issues poor health habits are creating practically. This is primarily because fitness and nutrition have become secular topics for most church leaders and believers worldwide.
This book jams a wrench in this way of thinking by biblically addressing the major health and fitness topics. This written case for making good health practices a part of the church and Christian culture comes with practical solutions for healthy living from a biblical standpoint. Whether you desire to serve those under your leadership better or to learn a Christ-centered approach to self-care, FIT Church will open your eyes to transformational truths that will help you to accomplish that. This book offers proven solutions for addressing your personal health practices and overcoming years of struggle with food, exercise, and mindset using the concept of faith-inspired training (FIT).
As representatives of the kingdom, it is our responsibility to honor God with our very being, including our way of living. May this book help you present yourself to God with a strong mind and body unrestricted by self-inflicted limitations. May this book help you trust the Lord more deeply as you break chains of physical bondage and poor self-image. May reading this book open your eyes to new possibilities regarding your habits and physical condition. Finally, may you join in the blessing of presenting a FIT church to the Lord by putting what you learn from this book into practice.
My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge... (Hosea 4:6).
A lot of times, there are certain predicaments or situations that occur in one's life that cannot be explained. What makes the situation worse is that this issue is not peculiar to that one person; it has been ongoing from one generation to another.
Many times, believers find themselves caught in a cycle of unexplainable predicaments and tend to take it for granted, believing that it is normal. And because they are not knowledgeable about the subject of curses, these predicaments go on, making life a living hell for them.
This book is an in-depth study on the subject of curses with emphasis on hidden curses. With a lot of spiritual and prophetic insights, as well as scriptural and practical references, this book reveals what curses are, the different types of curses, how curses operate in one's life, and how a person can overcome and be totally delivered from any existing curse in his/her life.
There are also prayers and scriptural declarations to reverse and cancel all curses. Dear brethren, if you have noticed any reoccurring pattern that leads to all kinds of vices in your life, then you must read this book, and the Almighty God will grant you complete victory and deliverance in Jesus's name.

Changed into His Image Student Edition is a thirteen-week study that includes daily activities and encouragement.

In 2019, the author experienced a deep and dark night of the soul. In that darkness, he felt abandoned by God. Coffee with Jesus emerged at a 3:00 a.m. encounter with God. It was during the pain, abandonment, and betrayal that the author moved from a religious relationship with Jesus to a deep personal journey of healing and growth.

We all learn the alphabet at a young age. It is the basis of our language and how we communicate with one another. Likewise, when Jesus' word is shared with us and we start learning it, we never forget it. We may waver from it, but it will always be ingrained in our memory. The alphabet is taught in all different languages and translates well, just like the word of God. I have used the alphabet to lay the foundation for God's word. The ABC's are the foundation of the language we speak and Jesus' word can be the foundation of our life if we open our hearts to Him.
There are so many emotions we feel as humans. Not all of the words in this devotional are encouraging and uplifting. Through this devotional we will explore what scripture says about dealing with these challenging emotions and feelings.

The encouraging words I have chosen give us hope for what we can have if we turn our hearts toward Jesus.
This devotional is for all people regardless of who you are, where you've been, or what you have done. If you don't know Jesus or you are ashamed because of your past, don't worry! You are welcome here. We all have to start our journey with God somewhere and this is a great place to start. If you have a relationship with Jesus, but want to deepen your connection with him, this is for you, too.
A butterfly weaves in and out of the red, pink, and orange flowers that lie on the grass that is covering your loved one's body. (25) You're sitting peacefully across from a pathway. A pathway that you've met before in a prior life. You don't remember exactly when or where you first saw this path. But by some divine intervention, you have made your way back to this path. (68) You're dancing with this path. You're vibing with this path. You trust this path; you don't know why, but you just do. (88) When you look straight ahead to this path, you notice on your left there is an anchor at the bottom of this wave ahead of you. But to the right of you, there is a ship that is slowly floating across this wave. This ship is ahead of you. Circling back and forth. Peacefully. Steadily. (143) If you walk in a circle trying to avoid this path, you can feel that anchor rising from the bottom of this wave. (166) So you're sitting with this path, you're not afraid of it anymore. (178) A yellow butterfly lands perfectly next to you on the ledge. (189) What once would have caused trauma, pain, fear, anxiety, or depression no longer does. (203)

Why the God-man? Man owed a debt but could not pay it. God could pay the debt but did not owe it. Only the God-man could both owe the debt and pay it. Anselm of Canterbury (1034-1109)
Is it possible to know and have a personal relationship with God? To understand why you are on earth and what is the purpose for your life? To have your entire life guided and overseen by him? To be comforted and encouraged by him whenever you go through hard times? To not be afraid of death but instead look forward to what lies beyond the grave?
Have you ever wondered what is in the Bible? Have you ever tried to read through it and give up by the time you got to the book of Leviticus?

For those who know what is in the Bible and have put their faith and trust in God's plan of salvation, another purpose of this summary is to give it to someone else. God's salvation plan is indeed good news. As the scripture says in the book of Isaiah, How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news. (Isaiah 52:7 ESV) May you be blessed as you share the good news with others.

The King of Orchard Street is a tale told by six men, including the author, over three generations and across the decades of the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s. Their stories recreate a world that was bound by a simple yet profound code of family, respect, cooperation, contentment, and acceptance for all. Due to the passing of time, these six men's lives all intersected to varying degrees, but the daily living experience for each of them over thirty-plus years never varied. The ageless principles etched into the King of Orchard Street are more germane to this tumultuous planet than ever before. A small uncomplicated set of values that can be practiced every day by everyone may lead to a world where problems massive and minimal can be reduced, then vanquished.
The well-known and often repeated storyline of David and Goliath creates a wonderful backdrop for all the stories of our lives. The image of facing our own Goliaths appears at every age for very different reasons and outcomes. Furthermore, the quality of those encounters directly determines and impacts the everything else, not only at those moments but all others that follow. If we ran from one fight, we are probably still running!
Thirsting to Be Real--Inspiration for Those Searching for Meaning is written for and dedicated to all of us who face our giants everywhere, seemingly. This collection of stories and life experiences is the result of hard-learned life lessons, which can be acquired at any age: (1) we all have giants, such as hardships, seemingly unbeatable obstacles, problems, and temptations; (2) the battle belongs to the Lord, as David bravely told Goliath; and finally (3), we cannot, nor should we, run from our giants or even attempt to negotiate with an enemy that seeks only to destroy us if not defeated. David faced Goliath, and as the enemy got close, David ran toward him.
I remember what Winston Churchill once said in the darkest days of Britain: You cannot reason with a tiger when your head is in its mouth. The lesson from this is undeniable. We must know our giants and know ourselves. To be unrealistic with either element spells certain disaster.
It's an odd title for a compilation of short stories but one that sums up exactly what I was thinking. Thirsting to be Real--Inspiration for those Searching for Meaning is the brainchild of countless friends and supporters who listened, read, were moved, and were even changed when I recounted the stories held within. The title itself is no less significant. On one side, these stories are indeed waiting to be read again and again, thirsting for that individual in whom they will live and become very real and very inspirational. And on the other side, there is you, the reader, searching for a story, one that is within the confines of this book and will be all the meaning for that inspiration it brings. It is my hope that you find true inspiration and great joy and draw closer to meaningful spirituality. Read each chapter and reflect slowly with your God in peace and complete confidence. Remember your own stories, share yours, and listen to others. Be prepared. Be ready. Be legendary.
You may tell a tale that takes up residence in someone's soul, becomes their blood and self and purpose. That tale will move them and drive them and who knows that they might do because of it, because of your words. That is your role, your gift. (Erin Morgenstern)
