Tags: Blood, God, HeartIf the Holy Spirit can take over the subconscious with our consent and cooperation, then we have almighty Power working at the basis of our lives, then we can do anything we ought to do, go anywhere we ought to go, and be anything we ought to be.

Tags: Actions, Intentions, ResultsPrayer means that the total you is praying. Your whole being reaches out to God, and God reaches down to you.
Tags: God, Prayer, WholePrayer is commission. Out of the quietness with God, power is generated that turns the spiritual machinery of the world. When you pray, you begin to feel the sense of being sent, that the divine compulsion is upon you.

Tags: God, Love, NatureWe are personalities in the making, limited, and grappling with things too high for us. Obviously we, at very best, will make many mistakes, but these mistakes need not be sins.
