 We all have been endowed with all of
                   the power we need to have a peaceful, joyful, abundantly blessed and fulfilling life. However,
                   many of these powers have to be developed and strengthened to be able to get the optimum
                   benefits, just like your muscles in your body. Life is a school to develop these powers, but if
                   you are not aware that you are in school, you might miss the lessons. Without developing these
                   powers, your life will not be as fulfilling as you wish. You may be more developed in some of
                   your powers than others. However, when these powers are fully developed and you are vibrating at
                   your optimum frequency, you are in the will of God and a life of peace joy and happiness is the
                   reward. "For he was crucified
                   in weakness, but lives by the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but in dealing with you
                   we will live with him by the power of God." 
                [
                2 Corinthians 13:4]
                
                   Life will ensure that you attract
                     all of the people, situations and circumstances to help bring you to the awareness of all of
                     the areas you are weak in and need spiritual development. You will have the choice to remain
                     weak or grow stronger. For example, the perceived person that disrupts your calm nature or the
                     choice you made that wasn't good for you was an opportunity to realize your weaknesses and
                     become conscious of making better choices.
 Until you
                   develop this power, you will continually attract situations that disrupt your calm nature and
                   you will make less than the best choices for the rest of your life. In essence, you are giving
                   away your power and it makes you weak and sick. God gave you these powers for a reason. If you
                   do not develop them, they will work against you leading to emotional, financial, health or
                   relationship issues. In truth,
                   many times your worst enemy or your last mistake is often your best teacher … so pay attention
                   and begin developing the following spiritual powers to manifest your full
                   potential:  
                    Patience
                          – Develop this
                          spiritual power so you will not be stressed when you cannot get what you want or when you
                          want it.  Persistence
                       – Develop this
                       spiritual power so you do not give up easily when confronted with obstacles that try to keep
                       you from total success or your full potential.  Discipline
                          – Develop this
                          spiritual power so you can keep your eyes on the goal or your dream. More importantly,
                          stay on course with the action steps you are to take each day to achieve success.
                            
                    Will
                    – Develop this spiritual
                    power so you can get in the zone or spirit to overcome any obstacle or to break old negative
                    habits.  Wisdom – Develop this spiritual power to
                       access God or your intuition for guidance and direction to manifest your vision or
                       dream.  Imagination
                       – Develop this
                       spiritual power to visualize your ideal life and the solution to
                       challenges.  Faith – Develop this spiritual power to
                       gain trust and understanding of God and your divine potential to heal and do greater things
                       than even Jesus predicted you would.  Self-Control
                       – Develop this
                       spiritual power to keep your mind from causing you to do things that are not for your or
                       others' highest good or well being.  Creation
                          – Develop this
                          spiritual power so God can express through you and you can intentionally manifest your
                          most blessed and fulfilling life.  Resiliency
                          - Develop this
                          spiritual power for when life knocks you down you can get back up time and time
                          again.  Love – Develop this spiritual power
                       because it is the greatest power of them all. If you do not develop any other power, develop
                       the power to love everyone regardless of race, religion, or political
                       affiliation.  Focus – Develop this spiritual power to
                       keep your mind on the things you want and off of the things you do not want. The more
                       focused you are on what you want the more you will receive.  Discernment
                       – Develop this
                       spiritual power to be able to see through the illusion, deception, tricks, and traps of the
                       world; when it is not developed, you will be caught up in the psychological bondage of the
                       world which will restrict you from reaching your full potential.   Forgiveness
                       – Develop this
                       spiritual power to remove the blockage that has been caused by holding on to guilt or an
                       experience that is blocking you from moving forward in your life.  Peace – Develop this spiritual power to
                       overcome the stress and anxiety that cause emotional and physical medical illnesses, as well
                       as all other "dis-ease" in the physical body.  Intention
                          – Develop this
                          spiritual power to set your mind on your goals or vision and full
                          potential.  Humility
                          – Develop this
                          spiritual power to stay in the grace of God, while not getting full of yourself when
                          things are going good.  Empathy
                          – Develop this
                          spiritual power so you can feel the pain of the less fortunate and reach out to help them
                          have a better life.  Compassion
                          – Develop this
                          spiritual power so you can always serve and help the world become a better
                          place.  Selflessness
                       – Develop this
                       spiritual power so you will not get caught up in self, thinking that you became successful
                       without help.   Truth – Develop this spiritual power so
                       you do not use psychology or deception to influence others. Also, so you can break free from
                       the human illusion and deception of fear based control tactics.  By
                   developing your spiritual power, you will have put yourself in the will of God and in the flow
                   of abundant blessings in every area of your life. Life always presents opportunities to grow and
                   become stronger and you are now aware that you are in the process of becoming more aware of
                   these opportunities and the choices you are making.   Realize
                   that you will go in and out of consciousness, but you will become more aware of your spiritual
                   power as each opportunity presents itself. Enjoy your spiritual development and connect with me
