In this book, popular author James W. Moore talks about the power of a story, such as those told by Jesus in the Bible. The author recalls, "I would be sitting there in the sanctuary of our church, doing what young boys do in church, drawing pictures on the back of the bulletin, working puzzles, looking constantly at Granny's watch, wishing the seconds hand would move faster, daydreaming about sports, kicking my feet in the air impatiently, counting the organ pipes . . . And then, the preacher would start telling a story, and I was hooked. He had my full attention. I couldn't wait to hear the story!" Jesus knew the importance of telling stories to convey a message or a Biblical truth and used this technique often when speaking or ministering to others throughout the Bible in the form of parables. Stories are a natural way to give detail and perspective while teaching an important point.

The heavenly meditator has the happiest life in the world, and the most enriching commerce with the celestial Indies, from whence he returns laden with an unseen store of immortal joy, and spiritual consolation. As he continues to meditate on the great things of God, such amazing plenitudes are displayed before his eye sufficient subjects for meditation through eternity itself. Meditation returns with a good account of the good land and produces refreshing grapes pulled from the true VINE. Here the weary soul retires to rest in the bosom of the promise, in the love of God and drinks at the river before the throne as waters that flow away. O the high estate of the sons of God in meditation They walk in the fields of glory, associate with the angels of light, and hold communion with God himself Thus having been in the mount with God, their soul is beautified; thus, their face shines, and their mind seems as if in heaven, nobly opposing the base practices of the men of the world.

When properly done, there's a definite cleansing and emotional recharging. Praying is all about frequency assimilation, the intentions of finite with the infinite. There's perfection on one end and vulnerability at the other. A dimensional force field is successfully created by manipulating physical and spiritual energy. Vital aspects are not so much physical transmutation, but the transformation. The very things wished for, we cannot seek for ourselves alone, but for all of humanity. Effective actions are based on tolerant love which cannot be foolish or incredulous. It must be a type that engages service to the greater life involvement, a better existence maintained by kind, loving, generous thoughts, feelings, and positive actions demonstrating a continued fulfilling life with spiritual values.

The Apostle Paul stated publicly, "To the Jew I became like a Jew to win the Jews... To those not having the law I became like one not having the law, so as to win those not having the law. To the weak I became weak, to win the weak. I have become all things to all people so that by all possible means I might save some" (1Cor.9:20-22 TNIV.) Just as the Apostle Paul unfortunately had to live through, suffer, literally "BECOME THE PERSON he was called to witness to in order that he would be able to understand and help them with their problem," Pastor Willie, comparable to Paul, also live through, suffered, struggled with crack cocaine addiction, homelesness and as a result he understands the deception, complications, rejection, misery, pain and agony that crack cocaine addicts go through in their search for deliverance. For those reasons God has also called him into ministry with the purpose of using Pastor Willie's testimony, knowledge, struggles, and compassion for the drug addicted to help deliver, witness and bring them into a happy, drug free, praise worthy relationship with God The truth is that God knows "when people are in "bondage" (Ex2:23; 6:5-6), held a slave to anyone or anything that they will neglect to praise and serve him." (See Ex.6:9). That why I fearlessly say to the evil spirit of crack cocaine influence, "Demon spirit of crack cocaine Bondage let my people go that THEY MAY PRAISE THE LORD " (See Ex. 1:13-14; 3:7-12; 2:23; 8:1, 20; 9:1). Are you sick are tired of going in and out of rehabs only to relapse shortly afterward being released, tired of being confused about why you're or a love is having such a hard time tired breaking the addiction, tired of prostituting yourself, and being viewed as weak and pathedic by the world? Well, your deliverance is moments away
