Proverbs 23:7 says that as a man thinks in his heart, so is he.  The mind is so important in receiving from God. 

The issue is not getting God to answer our prayers but getting Him to hear us.  The hearing is not a physical hearing.  God knows our thoughts; He knows what we have need of before we even ask Him, but we must ask.

To abide in Him is to be vitally united with Him.  We are connected.  It’s like when you see a semi on the road; the tractor, the engine, and steering wheel are in the front and the trailer with the cargo is in the back.

What is corrupt communication?  It is from the word “sapros” and carries the meaning of rotten, useless, corrupt, depraved, or worthless.

The Word of God is full of scriptures that tell us that God is a jealous God. Exodus 20:4-5 tells us we should not bow to any created image and worship it because God is a jealous God.

God created Adam for fellowship, to have children, to have a family.  He loves us. 

First, I want to talk about what brings fear into our lives.  I think, many times, we get afraid of people, what they think about us, what they can do to us, what they can say about us, and on and on.

Everyone needs to have a lovolution!  “What is a lovolution?” you ask.  It is a revolution of the love of God.

God created Adam for fellowship, to have children, to have a family.  He loves us. 

The promises of God are yes and amen in Christ Jesus (2 Corinthians 1:20). When God gives you a promise, He aims to keep that promise to you.

Whether you would say it like this or not, things talk to us.  What I mean by that is, the tree was saying to Jesus,” I know I have leaves, so figs should be on me for you to eat, but so sorry; no figs for you.” 

Hearing the Word of God is obviously very important, but it is not just physical hearing that will help you.

Being a doer of the Word of God is of utmost importance.  We know faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God.

The Lord came to have a meeting with Abraham.  The meeting was about Sodom and Gomorrah.

We must understand that we can control the thoughts we have. We can make sure our thoughts don’t turn into vain imaginations causing us to think differently of ourselves than what God has planned for us and called us to be.

We are to put on the new man. The image we are supposed to get is likened to putting our clothes on in the morning. Are you dressed properly like you would be with the armor of God?

The word “meditate” is very important in the Word of God.  Unfortunately, it is also a word used in other Eastern religions. 

In order to get the most out of meditating on the Word of God, it has to be your delight, the center of your life. You live your life out by living the Word of God out in your life.

We all want to have good success in life; but to get that success in God, it starts with meditating on the Word of God. How do you meditate on the Word of God?

In 1 Samuel 2:26, we see that Samuel grew in stature and favor with God and man. This favor was bestowed upon Samuel; and as he grew physically, he also grew in favor with God and man.
