You Cannot Fail!
In the human outlook, the effort needed for survival can be intense: the fight to make a living, to meets one's bills on time and still have a little left over to put towards a saving account is an everyday struggle for many. This is the reality for many as they lean on their own understanding and buys into the circumstances around them.
The theme behind this book is that we did not come into this reality to shed tears over our status of apparent lack and limitation. So what is it that we are not getting? Know This! Abundance is yours. You cannot be deprived of God's supply. No one can take away what God has ordained for you. If you observe the lavish wastefulness of nature, you can discern that the Father intended for his children to be abundantly supplied, to lack for nothing, and to want for nothing.
You Cannot Fail! shines a light on God's covenant to humankind in a fresh way. In this insightful and encouraging guide, you'll learn how to step out of your old belief system and into a new reality--a life of lavish blessings, just as God intended.
THE WAY OF THE CROSS:
REFLECTING PRAYERS FOR GOOD FRIDAY
The Way of the Cross is an ancient devotion originating in the desire of Christians to go on pilgrimages to Jerusalem. From the earliest decades the Church in Jerusalem revered the burial grounds and other shrines related to the Way of the Cross. Their devotions were not procession related to the Stations of the Cross as practiced today, but did involve a walking pilgrimage to the sacred places related to the crucifixion of Jesus.
In praying the stations we imagine ourselves walking with Jesus on this journey. We then link our reflection to whatever is going on in our lives today.
When we pray the WAY OF THE CROSS: we follow 14 stations, in the form of 14 scripture readings reflecting those last moments of Jesus journey of love. Starting with the FIRST STATION where Jesus is condemned to death: Scripture Reading: Matthew 27: 23 – 31 and ending with the FOURTEENTH STATION: Jesus is laid in the Tomb Reading taken from Scripture Matthew 27: 57 - 60
Reflecting on the Stations of the Cross is an exercise in imaginative prayer. They call us to think of more than how Jesus sacrificed himself for our sins.
On our journey we experience joy, days of stress, and possibly terrible suffering. As members of families and communities, we are witnesses to the joys and sufferings of others.
