Thought conditioner
But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run and not be weary; and they shall walk and not faint. (Isaiah 11:31
God is the source of all energy- energy in the universe, atomic energy, electrical energy and spiritual energy; indeed every form of energy comes from the creator. ” He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. ” Isaiah 11:29.
The Bible describes the energising and re- energising process; ” ……In Him we Live ( that is, have vitality), and move (have dynamic energy) and have our being (attain completeness).” Acts 17:28.
Therefore contact with God establishes within us a flow of the same type of energy that recreates the world and that renews every year. When in spiritual contact with God through our thought processes, the divine energy flows through the personality, automatically renewing the original creative act. When contact with the divine energy is broken , the personality gradually becomes depleted in body, in mind and spirit.
