On March 19, 2012 I was speaking with the Lord about various logistics – matters relative to ‘why things are so’ across Oneness Pentecostal Apostolic churches in general. We are members of “One” Body, but we don’t always operate as if we are. I recall The Lord in that conversation telling me: “It was never designed to be so”. This book will pose a few questions for you to muse on. Self-examination is always central to personal growth and standing. What would happen if our Faith came together regardless of organizational stripes? Can you imagine the glory God would get on the international front if we have an “International day of fasting and prayer hosted by the Oneness Apostolic P ...

In the "Church" today we have become a complicated people living in a complicated world trying to live a complicated Christian life. Why is it so hard? The truth is dear saints we the bride have made it that way. The truth is many of us over time and ever so innocently have forgotten, "The good part." We have become a very busy people trying to do good, putting laws on ourselves that God never intended and going from conference to conference searching for a better life in the Kingdom. The truth of the matter we have forgotten to just "be." Are we a Martha or Mary? Have we become Saul or David?We must come to the revelation of there is no person, place or program that can increase the ass ...

How many today want to be captured by anything or anyone? Joyful sacrifice, relentless submission, godly sorrow, and soul-ravishing satisfaction are the marks of a heart captivated by the glory and beauty of God. Too many of us in our churches settle for rehearsing the same truths repeatedly—in singing, preaching, and discussing — without expecting to be moved by God again. But awe is the conversion experience and day-in, day-out faith in the community. As we watch God move repeatedly — for and in one another — our hearts awaken in wonder again. That is what "CAPTURED" is saying to YOU! The author says that Christianity did not isolate believers to focus exclusively on their relati ...

"Empaths Not Only Hear You, They Feel You." An Empath is someone who can have a direct experience of other people's emotions or physical sensations, simply through conversation or contact (physical or non-physical). Because of the Empaths heightened sensitivity to energy and emotions they are the light workers who through the art of Alchemy transform dark energy into light energy. Therefore turning negative and destructive energy, into positive, loving and uplifting energy. Most Empaths have no idea that this is their identity. Because of this, so many empaths end up hurt and traumatized by the world due to their lack of identity. There are many reasons for their feelings and my go ...

"Those who say, don’t know. Those who know, can’t say." Such is the path of mysticism: a fine line of experienced intimacy with God and an inability to describe a knowing beyond words. Most often, we “fall into grace” by accident, when our desire for God can’t be met by continuing to do what we’ve always done, and we’ve left the beaten path with no idea where we’re going. But what if there were a third option, apart from quiet knowing or loud ignorance? What if you could walk in the feet of someone who knew the way? Put yourself in the feet of another and walk to His House. Come, discover yourself in the eyes of Love.

This book represents the complete collection of letters I penned to a young couple in 2009; they in turn have generously given permission to share it with others. My reason for writing these letters is to give a solid understanding of those things in life that are reliably true—that is, things that are true to such an extent that one can fully depend on them for support and use them to build up a solid belief system which will stand firm through life’s storms. In the interest of protecting the privacy of the individuals involved, I have changed their names. Otherwise, these letters remain in their original form. James Brooks June 2009
