Keys to breakthrough
- Make God your friend. … the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom.
- Possess a fighting spirit . Born to win means born to fight. God loves fighters, and as exemplified in the life of Jacob, if you are a prayer warrior, you have no problem. Prayer only is what scares the devil.
The weakest knees make the devil tremble. …men ought always to pray and not to faint
Prayer is not the preparation for battle, it is the battle itself.
- Discover your purpose. The richest place on earth is the grave yard, filled with unfulfilled dreams. Do not follow the crowd. Purpose is your currency in doing business with God.
