How to Read the Akashic Records - Accessing the Archive of the Soul and Its Journey by Linda Howe
I always think of the Akashic Records as the "universal library in the sky" or the record of all of our past, present, and future selves. A new book, How To Read the Akashic Records: Accessing The Archive of The Soul and Its Journey by Linda Howe explains that the Records contain, "everything that every soul has ever thought, said and done over the course of existence, as well as its future possibilities." I love her analogy of the Records being the "cosmic internet" and we can "Google" specific information from them.
The Records are governed and protected by nonphysical Light Beings. Our "Masters, Teachers and Loved ones" are our guides to the information of this universal repository.
These Records are not the exclusive domain of any one organization or religion. They are available to everyone. In the past, mystics and saints had access, and Mystery Schools provided entrance information. Today, we have evolved to a spiritual independence, which allows anyone to gather data from the Records.
A specific prayer, the Pathway Prayer, is used to gain entry. While answers are provided, there is also an energy exchange that allows us to ask the right questions and "feel" the right responses. We are reminded that we are "perfect selves." The Records don't hold anything negative. They contain our potential, which is "eternal beings of Light whose essence is wholeness and wellness and goodness." The energy of the Records helps jog our memory of that essential being.
We can identify who and what we are in the Records. Howe suggests that the Records provide an "energetic tune-up" for everyone, especially for those feeling out of touch or lost in the complexity of the material world. Remembering that we are connected to a Divine Being provides a comfort. "All souls desire to experience their wholeness and Oneness with all of Creation," although not all of us are aware of this.
What types of questions can a person ask in the Records? No time lines are given; what, why or how questions should be used. Simple "yes or no" questions are less effective. This is not channeling information, but allowing energy to move through our bodies, hearts and minds.
Accessing the Akashic Records is aspect of our Practical Spirituality. We are all capable of a spiritual independence, one in which we can help choose and define our spiritual connection. The Records provide another avenue of support, one in which we can connect directly to a Divine or higher Energy.
The Records teach us we are all one, that everything is Divine, that reincarnation is not good or bad but experiencing our human commitments, and that karma is not reward or punishment but growing and learning. We can heal ourselves, our past lives and our ancestral patterns in the Records. Howe describes the process for each of these.
The Records show us that whatever our soul is seeking, we will find. What a liberating time to be living in, when we can gain this inner spiritual awareness and have access to help whenever we need it. Each of us has a unique light to shine. Our challenge is to accept the gifts we are given to help find and shine that inner light.

Seven Big Things That Make Life Work - Principles for Successful Living by Phil Pringle
Foundational Teaching of the Christian Faith
Phil Pringle is known for his leadership skills and for his books on leadership and finance. "Seven Big Things That Make Life Work: Principles for Successful Living" is written with Christian leaders in mind. However, the contents of the book cover principles for Christian growth from new birth to maturity. Based on the foundational truths found in the sixth chapter of the book of Hebrews in the New Testament the material is also easily adapted to teaching new Christians the basics of the Christian faith. It is an ideal resource for individual or group study.
The format is well organized and user friendly. Pringle uses Biblical examples, personal experiences, and stories from classical revivalists to illustrate principles of Christian living. Phil presents step by step instructions to help the reader through the necessary steps of growth from spiritual infanthood to maturity.
Comprehensive end-notes give credit to his quotes and to the authors and materials used in research for this work. These references provide the reader with a valuable list of available resources. I find this information to be an excellent source for future reading and personal study.
Phil Pringle's works are highly acclaimed and endorsed by a broad spectrum of respected, successful Christian leaders. His writing is upbeat and encouraging. "Seven Big Things That Make Life Work" is a unique and important addition to the myriad of resources available on the subject of personal Christian growth. Pringle champions a practical theology backed up with solid life application.

Bible Study on Revelations: Making the Connection Between Daniel and Revelations on the Antichrist
Where the study of the book of Revelation is concerned, there are many different views out there on the Antichrist of Bible prophecy. And there are more speculative ideas concerning his identity than they are Bible truth. The purpose of this article is not to say who I believe is the Antichrist but to give you an idea of the kind of person we should expect him to be. This can easily be found out simply by connecting the dots between predictions in the book of Daniel and those in Revelations.
One of the things in prophecy study that some Bible students fail to understand as they should is the importance of consistency in their conclusions when comparing similar predictions. That is, if one prophet prophesied one thing don't expect something contrary from another prophet if both are under the inspiration of the same Spirit. Every prophecy student recognizes this in theory but in their Bible studies it is not really being put into practice. Otherwise, they wouldn't be suggesting that Barak Obama is the Antichrist.
When it comes to general rudimentary Bible teachings the Lord is usually clear in His communication of our duties as children of His. Every principle is clearly set forth and where difficulty arises there is always a passage where it is clearly explained. God's approach in unraveling end-time prophecies is no different. He has made provisions for every man who wants to get a better understanding of His will to know the truth concerning events predicted in the books of Daniel and Revelation.
One of the most exciting prophetic themes spoken of both in Daniel and Revelations is the activities of this end-time enemy of Christ called the Antichrist. There is striking harmony between the accounts of both prophets that there is no need to speculate whether they are describing the same individual.
When you are comparing parallel prophecies between Daniel and Revelations, while you will see a clear sameness of description between the prophets, they use different words and expressions to tell the same story. Below is a comparison of descriptions of the Antichrist and his activities both in Daniel and Revelations:
1. Daniel says: His power shall be mighty but not by his own power (Dan. 8:24).
Revelations says: The dragon shall give him his power, his seat, and great authority (Rev. 13:2).
2. Daniel says: He shall exalt himself above every god (Dan. 11:36; 8:11, 25).
Revelation says: All that dwell upon the earth shall worship the beast (Rev. 13:8).
3. Daniel says: He shall speak marvelous things against the God of gods (Dan. 11:36;7:25).
Revelations says: He shall blaspheme the name of God and His tabernacle (Rev. 13:6).
4. Daniel says: He shall scatter the powers of the holy people (Dan. 12:7;7:25; 8:24).
Revelations says: He shall make war with the saints and overcome them (Rev. 13:7).
In your Bible study of Daniel in connection with Revelations, you will see that even within the book of Daniel there are three separate descriptions of the Antichrist. There is that 'little-horn king' in chapter 7, 'the king of fierce countenance' in chapter 8, and 'the king of the north' in chapter 11. And all of these designations are comparable to the beast of Revelations 13. A comparison of all these passages shows clearly that the Antichrist will not be known until he is fully endowed with supernatural powers. Certainly, that's not what took place in the USA on November 4, 2008.
We must take note of the fact that in the book of Daniel all these descriptions are given to us within the framework of parallel prophecies. Therefore we should treat them as one complete story with repeated information while the book of Revelation focuses on the last-day aspects of the same narrative. The key to a fruitful Bible study on Revelations is to compare its prophecies with the writings of other prophets.

Christian Affirmations Work When You Release Your Faith With All Your Might And Stick With It
There are ways we can renew the mind and it doesn't have to take years to do this. In fact it can be done anywhere from 1-3 months.
Now we as Christians, read the word of God first and foremost daily before any other book, to renew the mind. Renewing our mind is the key to changing our lives. Now we do that by keeping it coming out of our mouths, so that before or when pressure comes, whatever we're full of, that is what will come out of us.
That's what makes the difference to everything in life. We should do this before, during and after the pressure comes. That's all the time. By affirming God's word and not the problem we strengthen our faith in His word and sometimes we need added encouragement to do this.
A man once said that there are 3 kinds of people in the world.
Those that make things happen.
Those that watch what's happening.
Those that say what happened.
Say these affirmations if you are a Christian.
Say this with all your heart with confidence, each and every word:
1. I am free from condemnation in the name of Jesus.
2. I am free from fear in the name of Jesus.
3. I have been found not guilty because Jesus died for my sins.
4. I have been given free favors through Jesus that I could never have earned.
5. I have redemption through the blood of Jesus.
6. When I forgive others I will be forgiven as well.
7. I am forever in God's hands and I will always be protected in Jesus name.
8. I will prosper in all my work because my hands as blessed in the name of Jesus.
9. Nothing can separate me from the love of God.
10. I have the mind of Christ and Satan has no power over me.
11. I am suppose to experience heaven on earth because I am a child of God.
12. I am on God's mind every second of everyday.
13. I am saved by hope and I am establish in Jesus Christ.
14. My faith is strong and getting stronger everyday by reading God's word.
15. I dwell in the secret place of the most High.
16. I am the blessed and I have the full assurance for Salvation.
If you were really believing with all your heart you should have felt something and if not you need to repeat them again with added faith in those words.
Now of course we must stay in the word to get faith to really grow. Right? Indeed.
How must we do this? Be renewing our mind with the word of God.
Romans 12:2
And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
Remember if you want change you have to stick with it or else you will only do what you are conditioned to do. Just believe like you believe air is in the room. You expect it to be there. You trust that it's there. Or how about the chair you are sitting in right now. Didn't you trust that the chair could hold you? I am sure you would say yes or else you wouldn't be sitting there.
It's the same with affirming the word of GOD. God requires us to trust, lean and rely on him in order for him to move in own lives. It has to be bold and we have to settle it now because faith means I expect for things to change right now. However if we don't do anything, guess what? Nothing will happen.
