School of the MiraculousDemystifying Miracles 
What if you could experience something miraculous every day?
Many Christians think of miracles as rare events for a select and fortunate few. But miracles don’t have be something mysterious and out of reach. They don’t have to be the exception. Just as they were common in the early church, they can become common for you.
School of the MiraculousA Practical Guide to Walking in Daily Miracles by Dr. Kynan Bridges shows how every believer can develop a miracle mind-set, operate in miracles, and establish a lifestyle in which miraculous events occur.
Dr. Kynan has encountered many believers who are frustrated because they are not seeing evidence of God’s power in their circumstances. They have a growing desperation for more of His intervention in their lives. This book was designed to answer that cry for more.
The Holy Spirit is the Miracle Worker—but all miracles involve human participation in some way. Dr. Kynan reveals that our growing intimacy with God’s Spirit will lead us to see and participate in His miracles—living in His power and setting our expectations increasingly higher for His miraculous works in our lives.
This practical guide for every believer is filled with ideas for personal application, encouraging testimonies, and spiritual activation prayers for tapping into the miraculous. Enroll in the School of the Miraculous today!

More from Dr. Bridges

  • A miraculous way of life is a daily pursuit of the presence and power of God.
  • Signs and wonders are the spiritual advertisements of the power of God’s kingdom.
  • Power that is not recognized is power that is not released, and power that is not released is power that is not realized.
  • A prayer never prayed can never be answered, and a claim never placed can never be received!
  • Prayer is the spiritual life-force of the supernatural.
  • The anointing is the dynamic, yoke-destroying, burden-removing power of God working in and through us.
  • The attitude of expectancy is the atmosphere for miracles.
  • Action activates miracles. If you want to see a miraculous display of God’s power, act on His Word in faith, regardless of how you feel.
  • Jesus calls us beyond the place of fear into the place of faith, where we are empowered to live supernaturally.
  • There are certain spiritual benefits you can’t experience until you know and act upon who you are in God.
  • The more conscious and respectful you are of the presence of God, the more qualified you are to host the atmosphere of heaven.
  • Every time you proclaim the Word of God in faith, you conform your world to God’s Word. The more you proclaim, the more your life will reflect heaven.


Review.jpg

I grew up in a strict Baptist background. My dad was a preacher and there was no talk about speaking in tongues or being slain in the Spirit. I remember one Wednesday night when this lady came to our church. No one knew her but there she was sitting in the pew. In the middle of my dad preaching this lady stands up and starts speaking in tongues. I was totally freaked out and the congregation was quite upset. An usher took the lady by the arms and made her leave the church. Today I can still see the hurt look on that woman’s face. 

Reading this book has reminded me of my first time experience in a Charismatic church. My husband and I went to a new church and they were having a healing service. I was so uncomfortable because all I could think about what that lady so many  years  before. I have always been cautious of who lays hands on me but I do know that God speaks through people.   I liked how the author uses scriptures to back up what he is saying. Not everyone has experienced miracles but they do happen. This has always been a touchy subject for me. I know it stems from my upbringing, but I have learned over the years to read the Bible and allow God to speak to me. 

The beauty of  God is that His Word never comes back void. If it says it in the Bible, then it is true. I  liked how the author explained that we need to be in obedience with God. How are we going to see miracles if we walk around ignoring God’s direction? The book is filled with stories of healing and miracles that were unexpected and faith that was grounded in His Word. 

I have seen someone healed  before and I have seen those that were not healed. It is hard at times to understand why bad things happen. What I do understand is that God is on the throne. We need to be obedient, surround ourselves with believers and trust him. I appreciate the authors’ explanations of prayers, miracles and faith. This would have been a good book for me to read as I was taking care of my brother. There were days I wondered where God was. I did get a miracle from that journey but it wasn’t the one I expected. The miracle I received was leading my brother to Christ before he passed away. It was the best gift God could have given me. My brother who had been angry at God most of his life, was saved and I call that a miracle.

More from Teresa

My new children’s rhyming book The Creeper is filled with mystery and fun. Treasures with clues are strewn along it’s pages to keep children guessing up until the very end, making it a very exciting and interactive book that kids will want to hear again and again. I wrote The Creeper because of my love for rhyming verse stories and God’s word, pairing the two, The Creeper becomes a great tool for teaching children about God’s love for them as well as instilling christian values and it introduces them to essential skills known to be learned from rhyming words together and what kid doesn’t love rhyme? The Creeper is based upon the Biblical principal of Matthew 7:7-8 If ye seek ye shall surely find what ye are looking for, this is what the foundation for The Creeper is all about! I first knew that i really loved and wanted to write verse stories after taking my daughter to the local library when she was a little girl, that’s when and where we discovered Dr. Suess, One fish two fish red fish blue fish, we were both hooked and enjoyed reading all the rest of his wonderful rhyming stories, along with all the Mother goose poems and anything else we could get our hands on! I believe that God gave this gift in my life to use for glorifying him while entertaining children. What better way to do things than to use your God given gifts and talents and give back unto The Lord!
Review.jpg

I really enjoyed  the story and the beautiful illustrations. The words were easy to read and fit  perfectly as the story continues.  I know young children would love having this book read to them. It has a wonderful message and perfect to share Jesus with little ones. It will be fun to see how excited the children get trying to guess what will be found. It is a very short book which will be easy to keep little ones attention.  The book has a great lesson in never giving up and if you seek you will find. It would be nice to let the little ones know that there is a special message at the end just for the. 

I do have to say one thing about the book. The title and cover may be a bit scary for little children. It is a great book but perhaps parents, teachers, etc should explain that the book is not scary at all and is filled with a wonderful adventure. 
I received a copy of this book from Celebrate Lit. The review is my own opinion.

Review.jpg

This book is one that I didn't really want to read. I have not experienced the death of a spouse like the author; however I have experienced the loss of my brother last March. So many people have said kind things to me, prayed for me and even sent cards. Have I gotten past his death? No and I probably never will. What I did find in this book was honesty and pain. The author shares the devastating journey with her husband as he became so ill he couldn't care for himself. Caregivers are a jewel to have and I admired how the author stepped up and took care of her husband. There were days when it overwhelmed her, but she always turned to God for strength.

We don't know why things happen, but God will comfort us in our darkest days. There are many scriptures throughout the book that are very helpful and I looked each one up. I understood how at times she wanted to give up after her husband passed away. It is hard to be the one left behind to continue a life without your loved one. The book is geared mostly to the loss of a spouse but I found it to be useful to me as well. 

What I liked about the book was the process the author takes readers through in grieving and shows how there is joy in the midst of sorrow. I could feel her hope and determination to see what God had in store for her. He has a plan for each of us and through the author's journey He showed her what His plan was for her.

‘Feels Like Home’ Winter Recipes
As the weather turns colder, it becomes the time to pull out those tried and true winter-time recipes. You know, the ones that make us (or even keep us) warm on the inside. This is the time for the food that just feels like home.
Kirsten Holmberg and Elisa Morgan from the God Hears Her blog have shared some of their families personal recipes. These are the ones that are good for everyone. Feel free to try them yourself, bookmark them for later, or share them with a friend.
Kirsten Holmberg
In the winter, I’m partial to any slow-cooker soup or stew because I love coming home to it in the evening. My favorite is a Vegetarian Chili with some Italian influences:
2 bell peppers, diced
2 stalks of celery, sliced
2 lb zucchini halved and sliced
1 lb fresh mushrooms, halved
1 large onion, diced
3 cans diced tomatoes (fire roasted or herbed for the most flavor)
1 can tomato sauce
1 small can black olives, sliced (or fresh in any amount desired)
1 can cannellini beans
2.5 teaspoon Italian seasoning
2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon fresh garlic, minced
½ cup water
Toss it all in a slow cooker for a few hours on high, or all day on low. Or, put it on the stove instead and simmer until the veggies are cooked through and the flavors blended (about 45 minutes). Parmesan cheese on top for an extra zing.
Elisa Morgan
A Cranberry Nut Bread recipe handed down by my mom, Paige Lee
2 cup flour
½ tsp salt
1 ¼ tsp baking powder
½ scant tsp baking soda
1 cup sugar
Sift above ingredients together twice. To the juice and grated rind of 1 large orange, add 2 tbs of melted shortening and enough boiling water to make ¾ cup. Mix with dry ingredients and add…
1 beaten egg
1 cup chopped pecans
1 cup halved fresh cranberries
Bake in greased loaf pan for 75 minutes at 350 degrees.
If you double the recipe, bake a little less time and use 3 loaf pans. It also makes good muffins and can be frozen.


Review.jpg

It is no secret that I love Bible Studies and Devotionals.  There are so many to choose from that it would take me a lifetime to get through them which is perfect for me. This devotional caught my attention because of several reasons. I loved the cover and find that it is very inviting. The pocket size is perfect for me to take to doctor appointments because we all know that an appointment for the doctor is just a suggestion of when you will be seen. The last and most important reason I like this Devotional is because it speaks to my heart. 

It is designed to be used each day for a year. In most books the author includes a forward which I always read. This one was really good as it  prepares us for what is in store for us each day so I hope you take time to read it. Inside the book you will find personal stories and stories from the bible that relate to the topic of the day. I have started this book and have enjoyed every day with topics that are easy to apply to my life. I also like the suggestion of scriptures to read each day as well.  The book has a permanent place on my table which I read every day.   This would be a perfect gift to give someone to encourage them in the Word. 

I received a copy of this book from Celebrate Lit. The review is my own opinion.
