Daniel 11:32And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits.” (KJV, emphasis added).

Isaiah 54:“Enlarge the place of your tent, stretch your tent curtains wide, do not hold back; lengthen your cords, strengthen your stakes.” (NIV, emphasis added)

Expansion

Malachi 3:10 “Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the Lord Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it.” (NIV).

Enlightened

1 Peter 2:15 “You see, it is God’s will that by doing what is right and good you should hush the gabbing ignorance of the foolish”. (The Voice)

Be Doers

  “But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves… he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in what he does.” (NKJV)

Brain Workout

Isaiah 54:2-3 “Clear lots of ground for your tents! Make your tents large. Spread out! Think big! Use plenty of rope, and drive the tent pegs deep, because you will grow in all directions. Your children will take over many nations and live in the cities that were destroyed.” (MSG & ERV)

 

The second thing that stretches your mind is The Conversations You Have. Have you noticed that when you have conversations with certain people, it is like a light bulb comes on in your mind? Why?
