It doesn’t matter that a Christian is quoting

Scriptures; as long as those scriptures haven’t affected

his mind, he’s not going to be different. That’s why

we wrote the book “The Power of Your Mind.” The

purpose of that book is in the title.

When it’s time to pray, have the discipline to keep everything else aside. The more other things try to distract you, the more you should focus and keep praying. Let your spirit receive that discipline; then, you’ll achieve the primary purpose of prayer, which is the conditioning of your spirit and mind until God’s thoughts become your thoughts, and His words become your words. The specific, creative word on your lips that the Spirit brings to you at such moments of prayer produces result.

Then, John 14:23 tells us, “…If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.” So, the Father and Jesus live in you by the Holy Ghost; He’s alive in you by the power of the Holy Ghost; so, you aren’t alone!

After the Rapture takes place, the Bible says there “…shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be” (Matthew 24:21). The world is going to be a terrible place to be in during the Tribulation, during the reign of the Antichrist. Jesus said “…except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened” (Matthew 24:22).

It’s also for doctrine, meaning it teaches and conditions you. It’s for reproof and correction: the Word moulds your character and gives you a new mindset. Finally, it’s an instruction manual for the life of righteousness. No other material could be this good for life. No other material could give you the advantage and inspiration you need to win in life every day.

When you deeply contemplate and meditate on the Word, the Word will take a hold of your spirit and impact your physical body, so much so that the glory of God will literally beam from you. 2 Corinthians 3:18 says, “ But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord. ” As you receive the Word, the intensity of the glory in your life is increased!

David, who was a great king, took it to another

crescendo; he knew that in greatness there’re levels.

So, he prayed, “Thou shalt increase my greatness, and

comfort me on every side” (Psalm 71:21). There’re

three ways of becoming great: you’re either born

great or you have greatness bestowed on you, or you

achieve greatness.

Jesus was a man of faith, but in this context, He was hopeful. He endured the Cross because of the outcome of His hope. He demonstrated hope while He hung on the Cross; hope even in death! This is the Christ that Paul referred to when he announced, “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new” (2 Corinthians 5:17).

The Master didn’t get infected from making contact with the infected man; rather, He cured the infection! That’s the kind of person you should emulate. That’s the example to follow, not those who advise you to hide from “viruses” and infections that Jesus gave us the power to heal.

Perhaps, you’re a cell leader, fellowship coordinator

or church Pastor and you’re praying for growth in your

church or group; there has to be a strong desire for

the increase you’re expecting; otherwise, it may never

happen. A strong desire attracts to you whatever the

subject of that desire is. Fasting without a definite and

clear desire will achieve nothing. Because of your focus

in a time of fasting, you’re able to attract through the

Spirit, the finer signals, messages and visions of the

higher planes of the spiritual.
