“Mystical Prayer”

Prayer can and does work, particularly if it is mystical prayer. The world is filled with a wide variety of ways to pray. Each has its own effectiveness or lack of it. The reason any particular form of prayer is effective has not to do so much with the technique or manner of prayer, as with the person praying.

This is the secret of effective prayer; the critical factor is not primarily in the prayer itself, but in the person praying. Whatever state of mind or consciousness a person is in spiritually has far more to do with whether a prayer will be successful than the particular prayer or brand of theology from which the prayer originated.

“Spiritually Managing and Overcoming Difficult Times”

Problems are a natural part of life which, due to their presence, create a necessity for change which in turn acts as a stimulus for spiritual growth. There are times in a person’s life when ordinary problems magnify, so much so, as to seem overwhelming.

Difficult phases may be brought about by one problem, or by a major area of a person’s life that becomes an enormous challenge. Problematic periods may also encompass multiple areas of an individual’s life, each one experiencing significant problems simultaneously. Managing and overcoming difficult times are integral aspects of many people’s lives. It is not likely that an individual will simply glide through physical life without experiencing these challenging stages.

“Seeing the Kingdom of Heaven Before Transition”

What a difference it is to know that what Christ referred to as “the Kingdom of Heaven” does exist! Imagine the impact such knowledge could have on how people live their lives. The value systems of so many people would be profoundly changed if they actually knew that life is eternal and that everyone goes on beyond this life.

It is one thing to blindly accept any theology that teaches that life continues, but quite another to know firsthand that your life will continue beyond your physical body. The vast majority of religious theologies do, indeed, teach that life is eternal, but people are asked to believe on faith alone.

“Prospering Presence of God Within”

Even a thief can prosper, but at what cost? As the Bible states, “What profiteth a man if he gaineth the world and loseth his soul?” A person may focus on almost nothing but money, be an atheist, and nonetheless prosper. The reason for this is that all of the person’s energy and focus are being placed on their income.

Without spirituality in one’s life, and with a focus solely on money, there may be a tendency to open oneself to engage in deceitful business practices. The old “anything for a buck” type of energy rules the person’s consciousness and conscience. It is in such a state of mental self-centeredness that morality and ethics are lacking.
