Oranges Make Orange Juice

~ Ann Cuddy-Sullivan ~ Leave a comment

“For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of” Matthew 12:34

“A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in him, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in him.”
Matthew 12:35

“But the things that come out of a person’s mouth come from the heart, and these defile them.” Matthew 15:18

What do those verses have to do with Orange Juice? Let’s take a step back. If you were to take a whole, unpeeled orange and squeeze it with all your strength, what would the result be? Right… the result would be orange juice; it wouldn’t be tomato juice or apple juice. Because an orange, or any fruit for that matter, can only give up what it contains on the inside.

It Is Finished

~ Ann Cuddy-Sullivan ~ Leave a comment

From the book: “Without this Cross, there is no tomb. No “He is risen.” No “firstborn from among the dead.” No Savior with the keys of death and hell dangling from His belt. No Alpha and Omega, Beginning and End. Before we can celebrate where He is not (i.e., the tomb) and why He is not there, we need to backtrack to where He’s been, how He got there, and what His presence there accomplished.”

This is the first book that I have read by this author. I found myself enthralled with his ability to paint such vivid scenes with his words. I found myself reading and re-reading the same day over and over again. I found myself in his plain straight-forward word pictures bringing to the fore that which is ugly, detestable, and foul. I found myself starting up at the Cross and simply asking myself, why would He do that… for me?

God is Shaking This World

~ Ann Cuddy-Sullivan ~ Leave a comment

God is shaking our world. He is revealing the hidden things to His people and we cannot be okay with what He is revealing. These things – abortion, pornography, sex-trafficking, same-sex marriage, the legalization of illicit drugs, and blatant contempt for anything remotely associated with Christianity are no longer being done in the shadows and darkness. Things that until now have been kept silent and hidden in the shadows are now being proclaimed loud and proud by leaders of this country.  We, the children of God, cannot be okay with what is going on. God’s people can no longer be silent and complicit in letting it all just keep continuing; we must allow our rage and anger to finally come forth and stand. Continue reading →

Let’s say that you live in a fine house with your charming family. Let’s say that your house is adjacent to some train tracks. For many years, you and your charming family have been living life – working, playing, loving each other, enjoying the fruits of your hard work and the love of your family, friends, and neighbors.

The Great Disappearance

~ Ann Cuddy-Sullivan ~ Leave a comment

This is a captivating book by Dr. Jeremiah about the soon-coming rapture of the Church. With impeccable research over several decades, the author brings to the forefront the questions so many have based on solid biblical truths.

Who will be raptured? When will it happen? What about the children? What happens to non-believers left behind, what will Heaven be like, and so many more answers to the questions.

Are you sure you are ready? You can be. This is a must-read book.

Kingdom Authority

~ Ann Cuddy-Sullivan ~ Leave a comment

Throughout this book, Pastor Tony Evans shows us about how satan’s priority is to derail the blessings and purpose of the believer. Satan and his demon can bring disruption to your life to such a level that you end up broken and beat down… unable to carry out the destiny God has in store for you.

Contrary to popular belief, satan cannot be defeated by thinking good thoughts and speaking positive affirmations. The only way to defeat satan and his disruptive power is through the authority we have through the shed blood of Jesus Christ on the Cross.

In this powerful book, Pastor Evans walks us through reclaiming what the enemy has stolen and fix what has broken in our lives and situations and learn to walk in Kingdom Authority.

This is a powerful book and definitely will go to my “read again” stack.

God Is Able

~ Ann Cuddy-Sullivan ~ Leave a comment

This is a wonderfully written book by Priscilla Schirer.  It was originally written 10 years ago but is now being all these years later. Based on Ephesians 3:20-21, the author takes up through it one word, or just one phrase at a time as she relates it back to her own life; witnessing and sharing God’s hand on her life and that of her family as she shares her joys and pains, and triumphs and losses.

As the author states, “I didn’t need to get past what I’d written, as if my real life had outmatched it; I just needed to get back in touch with what I’d written…. Saying and believing “God is able” is not a spiritual smokescreen intended to keep us from dealing with life’s hard reality. It is instead the bedrock truth that gives us the hope and strength we need for facing reality.”

I truly enjoyed this book as Ms. Shirer openly takes us into her life, with all its ups and downs, and shares her deep truths and what she’s learned after reflecting over 10 years. I couldn’t help but feel, as I was reading, that her talent as a gifted writer and down-to-earth relatability, it was like sitting down across from her and hearing her retell her stories firsthand.

The Josiah Manifesto

~ Ann Cuddy-Sullivan ~ Leave a comment

From the book: “Is there an answer, a guide, a blueprint that reveals what you need to know to survive, to stand, and to prevail in view of what’s coming in the days ahead? 

Has it been revealed to us in the appearing of a sign from an ancient mystery playing out in modern times before our eyes?”

Jonathan Cahn does it again. With impeccable research and an amazing ability to bring together ancient mysteries and text and modern-day America, he unfolds history to give us a front row seat into how and what is happening is not a surprise – it was ordained from the foundation of man.

This book serves as a guidebook for us to not just know what to expect, but how to survive and stand and most importantly prevail in what’s coming in the days of the end. As stated in Chapter VI, “The danger of living in an especially darkened culture and of fighting evil, as one must, is to become defined by that against which one is fighting, to let evil become one’s focus, to live in reaction to it, and become its reflection. The righteous must guard against that. They must not be defined by what they stand against but by what they stand for.”

Some may read this book and consider it a stretch to associate ancient Israel to America today. To me it was not a stretch at all. One need only listen to the news for a day to see that we are indeed watching it unfold before our eyes right here in America.

The Close of the Age – Book Review

~ Ann Cuddy-Sullivan ~ Leave a comment

“It’s not a matter of if, but when. The end of the world as we know it has come. The governments have taken control of everything and there is a new world order emerging. The question is where will people turn in their moment of need when plagues, earthquakes, starvation and a one world order demand total allegiance?

With the sudden vanishing of millions of people, new martial law going into effect, impeding the freedoms of everyone worldwide, Ben and Elira are faced with the reality that they may never see normal peaceful days again. At least not how they knew it.”

This is an interesting book with a different twist than I have read in the past. Many of the left behind books focus on the Christian left behind, this is a take on the impact of “the disappearances” and how the world reacts to the Jewish population around them. Blaming them for what has happened with loathing.

The author does a good job at bringing to life what would most likely be the actual reaction from the non-christian remnant.
