Young Evangelists Making A Difference In Ethiopia!

Category: Uncategorized – admin – 11:00 am

The Danish Evangelist Peter Capili Hansen and his wife have recently been in Ethiopia. They went around to different churches and conferences in Addis Adaba, Nazareth and Shashemene for 35 days having powerful evangelistic healing services. Hundreds of people gave their lives to Christ and many experienced a healing miracle as well. Alongside the evangelistic meetings, the Danish evangelist, with Angel Relief International, also went to an orphanage and gave out food, school supplies, and toothbrushes to kids.

Bring Back the Full Gospel!

The gospel of Jesus Christ was preached and many were amazed to hear the gospel being preached so clearly. Many church leaders and pastors expressed appreciation for the focus on Jesus and the gospel in the meetings and some said they have not heard the gospel being so much in the center for a long time. Evangelist Peter says ”If I don’t preach the full gospel about Jesus, I am not preaching at all and I am called to preach the full gospel. The gospel makes people free. That is the most important thing, nothing else.” Many young pastors were inspired by the gospel preaching and now they want to focus on that in their own ministries.

Orphanage in Nazareth!

Angel Relief had toothbrushes, juice, cookies and pens to the children in a orphanage in Nazareth, Ethiopia. Peter Hansen gave all the children bible stories and after the kids was given a tooth brush, pens, cookies and juice. This was a Christian orphanage directed by a local Ethiopian evangelist. They are helping the kids with education and other needs.

Village Outreach!

Angel Relief International went to southern Ethiopia in the area of Shashemene to speak in a missionary church and do an evangelistic and humanitarian outreach in one of the poorest villages in this area. In the village of Hagugeta Kudnhi, people live in small, round mud houses and food is very limited. In fact, children have died just recently in this village due to malnutrition. A Filipino missionary, Rev. Jon Coronel, invited Peter & Abby to this place and coordinated the outreach in the village. The group used an off-roader truck to go to the village as there is no real road to the village. Evangelist Peter Hansen preached the gospel to the whole village that was gathered, sitting on the grass under the burning sun. There were about 2500 village people, many of whom were Muslims sitting in the grass. But Evangelist Peter preached a very radical gospel message about salvation!

After the gospel crusade Angel Relief gave out wheat to about 185 families and notebooks, cookies and pens for the kids. People were very orderly when receiving food, but when the kids were given notebooks, hundreds of people both adults and kids almost mobbed the team! Angel Relief was informed that this was the first time someone came to the village to give them something. Peter said, ”The need is so big here in Ethiopia and we want to make a lasting impact by helping people, meeting their spiritual needs and physical needs. We want to support this kind of mission in the future as well. We want to go back to Africa!”.

Overcoming Blocks and Hindrances to Hearing God’s Voice - Part 2: “Fine Tuning Our Hearts”

Category: Uncategorized – admin – 11:00 am

In the first part of this two part article, I wrote about overcoming hindrances to hearing God’s voice by drawing near to God in an approach based off of the tabernacle experience.

1. Enter through the gates with Thanksgiving, clothing ourselves with Christ’s righteousness.

2. Offer our lives as a living sacrifice.

3. Look intently upon the Word and cleanse our lives in Bible meditation.

4. Fellowship with Others and let our will submit to God’s will.

5. Examine the Word under the illumination of the Holy Spirit finding revelation and knowledge and transforming our lives.

6. Offer continual praise.

Now we are ready to ascend directly into His manifest presence, fixing our gaze upon His glory and speaking face-to-face and mouth-to-mouth with the Most High God. (Heb. 10:19,20). When storms and gales hinder our access before the King of Kings, we can go back and re-walk the path which He has prepared for us.

You can find the first part of this article at:

http://www.cluonline.com/blockstoheargodsvoice.htm

Usually, I find that if I walk through the tabernacle experience, any block I may have as I approach God in prayer is erased. If not, God has provided a fine-tuning dial in Hebrews 10:22:

“Let us draw near with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.”

In this verse are found four more keys for removing blocks to effectively hearing the Master’s voice:

1. Have a Sincere Heart:

The first key is that we must have a sincere heart. There can be no hypocrisy, no double-mindedness, no halfheartedness. Only total, pure, childlike dedication to the desires and purposes of Almighty God.

2. Have Full Assurance of Faith:

Secondly, we must have a full assurance of faith. In other words, we cannot doubt that there is a river flowing within us. (Jn. 7:38,39) Therefore, we must believe that He is a Rewarder of those who earnestly seek Him, and receive in faith that which is flowing within us, trusting that indeed it is the Spirit of Almighty God (Heb. 11:6).

3. Clean Our Hearts of Sin:

Thirdly, we must have our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience. If there is sin, it must be brought before the cleansing flow of Christ’s blood and removed as far as the east is from the west (Ps. 103:12). Then it must be forgotten, as all of our attention is turned upon our Maker.

4. Be Cleansed With the Word:

Finally, we must be cleansed with the washing of water of the rhema word, or the voice of God (Eph. 5:26). Those things which God is speaking to us must be acted upon and obeyed, or our ability to go on with God is destroyed.

When I come before God in prayer, I begin by quieting myself in His presence. I use the eyes of my heart to see Him present with me. I tune to the inner river (i.e. spontaneous flow), and I begin writing down and recording the flow that is welling up within me. (See this pattern in Hab. 2:1,2.) If I am stuck and some block seems to be hindering my ability to hear God’s voice and see His vision, I review the above questions concerning living the tabernacle experience. Often as I go through this checklist, I identify the block and remove it. If the block still remains, I ask myself the four questions found in Hebrews 10:22 - Is my heart sincere, honest, and committed? Am I free of reservations as I approach God? Do I have a full assurance of faith that He is within me and welling up through my spirit (which is joined to His Spirit - I Cor. 6:17)? In addition, I must ask whether I have been obedient to the previous words which God has spoken to me.

These two patterns, the tabernacle experience, and the fine-tuning dial of Hebrews 10:22, (when coupled with the example of Hab. 2:1,2) offer ready access for most of us almost all of the time, so we can readily hear God’s voice within our spirits, and write down the spontaneous flow of thoughts, visions and feelings which bubble up within us as we seek the face of God. Thus, we find that many of the most common blocks and problems to hearing the voice of God are removed as we follow these biblical patterns.

Once we begin recording the things we sense God speaking to us, we may still find errors, or “supposed errors,” in our journals. This can come from many things. I will list very briefly only a few of the most common situations.

One problem is that when we pray, we often fix our eyes on the thing we are praying about, rather than on Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our faith. Therefore, the answer comes back from the thing, rather than from our Lord. The solution to this problem is to be very careful to fix our eyes on Jesus (Heb. 12:2), rather than on any thing, or person, or issue. If we are bringing a person or issue to God in prayer, then we should actually see ourselves presenting this before Him and watch what He does or says concerning it. Then the spontaneous flow will be more pure.

Positioning

A second issue is that some of God’s commands are simply positioning moves and are never meant to be fully carried out. Instead, God re-directs us in midstream. An example of this may be seen in Genesis 22, when God asked Abraham to sacrifice his son. However, as Abraham began to act in obedience to this order, God changed it, telling him not to sacrifice his son. Now, was Abraham’s first word from the Lord wrong? No, God was simply positioning Abraham in order to fulfill one of God’s goals for his life. Once the test was completed, God discontinued the action midstream with new orders. I find this happens often in my journal. Many orders are simply positioning moves, both for me and for others.

A third, and final, problem which we will discuss is the problem of improper interpretation. It is very easy to interpret the words of your journal to say what you think they mean, rather than simply seeing them for what they are. Often, as I have gone back to my journal, thinking my journaling had been wrong, I have been amazed to see that the actual words of the journaling were fulfilled. It was my inner interpretation of these words that was not correct. Let us be careful to hear that which the Lord is speaking.

Trial Separation – Will It Make A Difference?

Category: Uncategorized – admin – 11:00 am

Even people who indulge in such relationships realise they are wrong, but fail to reckon that such an act can be akin to infidelity. They are shocked when their angry spouse petitions a divorce on this ground.

Such anger-induced divorces can be labelled hasty disunions. Hasty divorces lead to repentance in leisure and can be prevented, if such couples try out a ‘trial separation period.’ Temporary break-up is therapeutic, and benefits all those who are contemplating a divorce driven by anger, suspicion, jealousy, rage, etc.

In a ‘trial separation’ period, couples stay apart in two separate residences and experience the feelings of a life lived apart. Usually, the husband leaves the family, while the wife and children continue in the marital home. The separating spouses reduce interaction and just talk at pre-decided stipulated intervals. Some counsellors, even advise that finances should be disassociated to create economic conditions similar to those expected post-divorce.

The duration of separation period depends on each individual family circumstance. If marital partners continue nursing anger or other negative emotions, then separation should be replaced by other methods. If separation escalates yearning for the spouse, the couple should never reconcile in haste. This period should be elongated further to derive maximum advantages of it.

Advantages of Trial Separation

Probably, the biggest advantage of this therapeutic separation is the prevention of divorce. More than 70% of the couples realize that divorce is not an answer to their problems. They solicit counselling services and begin working at their marriage. Needless to say, they are successful.

The high success rates of trial separation can be attributed to the fact that, when spouses are denied the company of one another, they resolve their differences more effectively. They begin realising that they were also equally responsible for the qualitative deterioration of the relationship. Over a span of time either partner begins depending heavily on the other without ever realising how burdensome dependency can be. Trial separation makes people self-dependent.

Temporary disunion has benefited many. Usually, continued association alleviates anger. Trial separation mitigates this and spouses begin to think more clearly. With clarity of thought sets in the realisation that contemplating a divorce was wrong. Usually, people rush to solicitors at the very first hint of marital trouble, for divorces are wholly legal procedures. Divorce lawyers only compound matters and wreak havoc with the already fragile relationship.

Quite frequently, when couples divorce in anger, it is difficult for them to reconcile, for pride proves preventive. Trial separation removes this emotional barrier. After the voluntary estrangement, it is easier for spouses to conciliate. Such separation strengthens spousal bond, for this voluntary and temporary divorce is reversible. However, this very advantage is construed as a disadvantage by many sceptics.

Disadvantages of Trial Separation

The reversible nature of trial separation necessitates a divorce and, thus, the whole process turns very expensive. Couples would have already spent much on temporary separation and divorce entails a further expenditure. The very arrangement of short-tenure disassociation is artificial and thus unworkable. Couples who are positively inclined would work hard at their marriage, and find such induced separations unnecessary.

Those who are disinclined to work at their alliance, use the trial separation to further relationships with their friends formed out of marital boundaries. This is dangerous and complicates the marriage further. Moreover, by staying apart, they are adding a new dimension to their marital discord. The conflicting couples now become confused couples. All the members of the family, especially the children find the suspense suffocating. They know not if their parents would divorce or live together at the end of the tenure. Such suspense has alleviated tension levels in some couples, during their period of separation.

However, the maximum number of spouses felt a reduction in tension due to absence of marital discord. Though a majority of them realise the necessity to resolve their differences and stay together, a few divorce. However, even if couples divorce after the trial separation period, they are letting down their spouse in a very gentle manner. The partner is already prepared for the disunion and the havoc wreaked by the divorce gets greatly mitigated.

The Unpleasantness Of Divorce

Category: Uncategorized – admin – 11:00 am

It is not uncommon to find divorced individuals who regret having divorced. Thus, divorce does leave a sour taste. It continues to ignite strong feelings of guilt, sadness and remorse. On the average, it takes family members approximately four to eight years to recover from the emotional and financial expense of a divorce.

Unpleasantness of Divorce: Getting married is entering into a contract. But marriage is a contract that is the easiest to break. Divorce has made it easy for husband and wife to walk out when they go through an unhappy period in their life. Divorce hurts. The axiom is true in more ways than imagined. Divorce takes on an independent entity. It has the power to hurt, embarrass and sadden us. Divorce invokes many unpleasant feelings. It makes us want to wipe the slate clean and begin anew.

Social psychologists argue that this is a common reaction in divorced people. Divorce throws well-settled lives out of gear. People have to rebuild relationships, identities, attitudes and perceptions. This involves dealing with changed circumstances on a daily basis. It is removed and alien when talking or writing about it. But when it actually happens, it is a different scene.

A middle-aged executive probably did not bargain for the unpleasantness of divorce. It was alright when he was talking about it. It was still fine and tolerable when the paperwork was being processed. The trial and divorce negotiations had been perceived as his escape to freedom. But when the divorce finally happened, many chain reactions unfolded. It left the executive with a very unpleasant feeling.

Breakup of Family: The direct consequence of divorce is the breakup of your family. You sought divorce from your partner. But the divorce ensures a formal legal separation from your children and friends. You lose contact with former family friends, acquaintances and even neighbours. Suddenly you are a stranger in a lonely world. You are no longer invited to family events and outings. Relatives don’t know how to act with you anymore. You have nothing in common with them anymore.

The entire scenario changes. Attitudes and behaviours change. Divorce brings with it many physical changes:

• Moving to a new house

• Start dating and move in with your girlfriend/boyfriend

• Move town and change job

• Leave the country losing contact with kids

• Develop a new social circle

All this does create and leave a residue of unpleasantness. You are not involved in the lives of your kids. You suddenly become a part-time dad/mom. The kids don’t expect anything from you. You are relegated to a position of occasional funtime parent. You lose control and that depresses you.

A Failure: Freedom comes at a price; you admit to a courtroom of strangers and to yourself that you have failed at being married. You failed to make a success of your marriage. You failed to understand your spouse and kids. This feeling of failure haunts you. No matter what you do, it depresses you. It makes you doubt your own abilities and intuition.

You start losing interest. The mind plays a negative role churning feelings of despair and remorse. You do not want to work and achieve anymore. You think and believe that failure is an inner behavioural trait. It will follow you everywhere and make a mess of your life. You start getting passed over for promotions at work. You start avoiding people. You become miserable and paranoid.

Financial Implications: Divorce hurts your purse strings as well. Lawyer fees, courtroom fees coupled with extra expenses of investigation strain your finances. In addition comes the knowledge that now you are alone to bear the financial burden. You have to bear your expenses alone. You have to blame yourself only for any poor financial decisions. Usually when couples split, the wife’s standard of living goes down by 30%.

Further, there is the question of financial settlements. You may have to pay alimony or maintenance support from your hard earned cash. It hurts. It could make you anti-social and bitter. It also lowers your standard of living. From a socialite living in a condominium, you could end up working ten hours a day. You will have to cut down on luxury expenses and personal pursuits. You may also have to give up hobbies and leisure activities. All these financial pitfalls may invoke feelings of unpleasantness.

Coping With Breakups

Category: Uncategorized – admin – 11:00 am

Being alone after a break up is a challenge, especially at holiday time. Divorce or separation after a long relationship is the number two top life stressor following right behind being widowed. A severe loss can plunge you into depression and health problems. So do not let yourself go for several months without taking steps to recover. A UCLA study showed that being rejected activates one of the same areas of the brain as physical pain! The more ignored the people felt, the more activity they had in the anterior cingulate, which also registers physical distress. In other words, your pain is physiological. But research has also shown how you can recover from loss more quickly. Here are five tips that have helped many people turn this painful time into a whole new rebirth for themselves!

Tip 1. Spend Time with Close Friends

The same UCLA researchers found that spending time and sharing with close friends and offset the pain by causing the brain to release natural opioids, which are like the painkillers found in opium.

Tip 2. Use Anger As Fuel To Better Yourself

If you are feeling angry, channel it into kick boxing, lifting weights or cardio. Exercise lifts your mood and youths your body. You will de-stress, find more peace and sleep better! Give yourself a makeover. Initially thinking about how sorry your ex will be when he or she sees how fantastic you have become can be fuel for your rebirth. Make yourself more attractive and better inside and out.

Tip 3. Have A ‘New You’ Party

Invite your friends to come over for a ‘New You’ party where they help give you a makeover. Let them go through your clothes and accessories, getting rid of unflattering stuff and putting together some hot looks for the new you. Ask them for referrals to great hair salons or clothing shops. Find a look that makes you feel great. You can also have a big reveal party for yourself.

Tip 4. Get Out There and Date Off- & Online

Start as soon as possible, even if you don’t feel like it. The sooner you do, the sooner you’ll move on. At this moment your chances of meeting the love of your life could be better than ever! The average marriage now lasts under seven years and this means new singles are coming on the scene all the time. Around sixteen million people are now using online dating. You don’t need to worry about getting into a rebound relationship: new research shows that people marrying on the rebound are no more likely to fail than those who wait. Not to worry if you are older: The American Association of Retired Persons found in a recent survey that 70 percent of single baby boomers are actively dating.

Tip 5. Meditation and Relaxation

Johns Hopkins researchers recommend practicing relaxation techniques to get rid of heartache. These include meditation, deep breathing or journaling out your feelings. Practice any or all of these techniques and you will bounce back from loss more rapidly.

You can learn much more about the latest research on and techniques for recovering from heartache in my new book, Love in 90 Days: The Essential Guide to Finding Your Own True Love.

Your Own DIY Divorce Website

Category: Uncategorized – admin – 11:00 am

There are several possible reasons for the growing numbers of divorce. These include enactment of easy divorce laws, pressure of dual-career marriages, loosening of religious and social ties, greater social acceptance of divorce and changing of attitudes due to financial independence of women.

Another interesting phenomenon associated with increase in divorce rate is the boom in rapidly burgeoning divorce industry. An unfortunate trend of increasing divorce rate has also helped establish new businesses and create new job opportunities. The divorce industry as such consists of the divorce solicitors, the DIY divorce shops, divorce counsellors, divorce mediators and medical health workers.

The divorce solicitors are legal experts who represent you in the court of law, DIY divorce shops are sites on internet which provide you with the services to get a divorce without having to hire a solicitor and without visiting courts. Divorce counsellors support you through painful divorce process and ensure that a certain dignity is maintained and communication lines kept open between two warring partners.

Divorce mediators help reconsider the decision to take divorce and try to patch up things between couples. Medical health workers provide you with therapy sessions to combat the stress and anxiety associated with divorce process.

Out of these the DIY sites are a recent phenomenon and a popularly sought after business. They have opened due to two main reasons: the first being that the British law does not make it compulsory to hire a lawyer to represent the parties involved in case the divorce is uncontested in nature and does not involve a custody battle.

The other reason for their success is that they provide fast and cheap services to couples who have little time to spare because of their busy lives and want to get over with the process as quickly as possible. Also, divorcing couples are, as it is, under tremendous financial strain that they want to spend as little money as possible on the formalities required to get a divorce. The DIY shops provide a cheaper option. They also save couples from the stress, anxiety and time spent in looking for and hiring a lawyer, going for meetings and attending court hearings.

For DIY divorce service, there are lots of service providers available on the internet. In DIY divorce, the couple just needs to download the legal forms from the website of the service provider and post them back duly signed and filled up. The service provider does all the paper work in the court, following it up till the divorce is finalized.

Divorce market is a growing market and DIY divorce option is fast gaining popularity among couples wanting a hassle-free divorce. Hence, it is a good business proposition to set up your own DIY website. Like all other businesses, there has to be a planned approach to it and certain matters need attention before opening shop:

1. A Good Legal Team: First and foremost is to hire a good, efficient, knowledgeable team of divorce lawyers. They need to be experienced and trustworthy as they are the ones who will handle all the paperwork and provide clients with a sound legal advice through phone or email when required.

2. Time Management: An adequate and capable staff will ensure that all paperwork and processes are sorted out as soon as possible and efficiently. There should be no delay in processing of divorce due to shortage of manpower or money as quick deposition is one of the main attractions of a DIY divorce.

3. Economical: Couples also opt for DIY divorce as it is a much cheaper option as compared to hiring a divorce lawyer. Couples are looking for cheaper deals and to cater to this need one should offer various economic packages according to the kind of services required for individual cases.

4. Legal Update: The company data needs to be updated regularly regarding latest information about divorce laws, cases, landmark judgments and legal documents. The most recent forms and information should be available on the company website to allow quick downloads.

5. Added Attractions: Added services like divorce counseling and financial consultancy can be provided through telephones to the clients to set your company apart from run-of-the-mill competitors. A little extra effort can go a long way in making a success out of your website.

Women - How to Win an Ex Back the Magic Way!

Category: Uncategorized – admin – 11:00 am

Do you want to know how to win an ex back?

If you have recently broken up with your ex and you still love and miss him, you probably want to know if you have any chance of getting your guy back. You DO have an excellent chance of getting him back as long as you don’t make the same mistakes as most women makes in trying to get ex back.

It is very possible to win ex back just like magic with the right plan, a plan that will guide you through the do’s and don’ts of how to win ex back. I will discuss later about such a proven plan that works like a Magic Love Recipe.

But first, I want to make sure you know some of the most common mistakes make by women shortly after a break up. Mistakes that will work against you in trying to get ex back.

1. Not Admitting Mistakes.

Not admitting your mistakes can cause a delay in winning back your ex. You have to determine what was the cause or causes of the break up of your relationship And if you were the one that make the mistakes then you need to own up to them.

Admitting you mistakes and telling him how you are going to resolve them in the future will ease the fiction between both of you.

2. Placing Blame.

If he was the one that caused the break up of the relationship, then you shouldn’t be placing the blame. I know it doesn’t seem fair that you should admit to your mistakes but you can’t place blame if he is in the wrong.

Placing blame is a combative action, and your goal is getting your guy back, not start a fight. It will take him longer to admit to his mistakes because he is a man. I am a man and I tend to delay the admitting of my mistakes as long as I can.

3. Accept the Break Up.

You need to accept the break up as inevitable. Accepting the break up is not the same as giving up on winning him back.

You need to tell your ex that you agree with the break up. This is important, although somewhat counterintuitive, your first response to a break up is not usually agreeing with the break up. Your first reaction is to call him, or text him over and over again trying to talk him into not breaking up. This is not how to win ex back.

To do this you may have to do a lot of acting. But, accepting or even suggesting to your ex that the break up is the best for both of you will make him feel that you are in control and will give him second thoughts about breaking up with you.

You can win your ex back and by avoiding the above mistakes is a start. But you will need a plan that works like a Magic Love Recipe and you also need to take action. Just daydreaming and hoping he will come back to you is not how to win ex back.

About the Author

The proven plan that works like a magic love recipe is the excellent e-book “The Magic of Making Up”. If you are really serious about learning how to win ex back then “Watch This Free Video” on the first move you should do.

Dividing Your Property After a Divorce in Michigan

Category: Uncategorized – admin – 11:00 am

Going through a divorce is a trying time for anyone. There are a lot of aspects that need to be taken care of, one of which is the division of property. It is common for divorcing couples to decide how they divide property; however if they can’t agree they are able to take their dispute to the courts.

If a divorcing couple can’t decide how they are going to divide their property and it does end up at court then the courts will divide their property under one of two basic schemes, which are community property or equitable distribution. In the state of Michigan, division of property cases will be handled in an equitable distribution way. In equitable distribution states the courts consider a range of factors such as the following:

• Length of marriage• Amount and source of income• Liabilities• Earning potential• Marital responsibilities• Health• Ability to care for self• Your skills and employment• Your estate

In an equitable distribution state, such as Michigan, all of the marital property is divided in an equitable fashion according to the court. So what exactly does this mean? Dividing property in an equitable way is dividing the property in a way that is fair not necessarily equal, which is done with the above in mind. To automatically believe the marital property would be divided 50-50 would be a wrong assumption in any equitable distribution state.

When you are in the process of dividing your property you need to separate the property into marital property and separate property. Separate property are generally things that aren’t considered to be marital property, such as items that were accumulated while cohabitating prior to marriage, property that is received as an inheritance by one spouse and increases in the value as the result of passive appreciation i.e. interest. These separate pieces of property aren’t generally divided when a marriage breaks up, however despite these general rules separate property can be distributed as part of a property division in a divorce if the marital property that needs to be divided is insufficient.

Once the assets have been divided into separate and marital the court will assign a monetary value on the marital property and the separate property. It will then distribute the marital assets between the two parties in an equitable fashion. Equitable does not mean equal, but rather what is deemed by the Circuit Court to be fair.

Marital property isn’t just about who gets to live in the house or apartment owned by the divorced couple; it also involves what shares of value each spouse will have in the property and who is entitled to vehicles. Also you may have a joint business, which will also be classed as marital property and again needs to be divided.

When you are declaring marital and separate property all assets must be brought to light as repeatedly trying to hide assets from each other and the court will result in contempt of court to which the court is required to take action against.

The end result of property division should be one that is most fair to each spouse. It is done so that neither spouse will face hardship after the marriage has broken down. My advice to you when it comes to property division is to involve an attorney in the proceedings as they will be able to guide you through the process and ensure that the division of property is done fairly.
