Prin-iple G& Communi-ation -an in-rease su--ess(

As noted from the se ular perspe tive, the main way to su eed in any endeavor is to effe tively ommuni ate with other people in the world. (ut from the Christian point"of"view, one is empowered to a tually ommuni ate and onsult with the Creator of the universe for advi e and guidan eG .3he se ret to OesusH su ess in ministry was a lifestyle of prayer/ K@unroe, 6FF6, p. 5F>L. #o as !orn"again Christians, it is foundational we first ommuni ate with Jod, through prayer, His %ord and His Holy #pirit living inside us, !efore we should e-pe t to truly su eed in ommuni ating with other people in the world. &n @atthew <*5F, the #on of Jod tea hes us the essential prin iple of su!mission to the Father, .3he re ognition of Y3hy will !e doneH emphasi7es the idea that prayer is to !ring a!out the onformity of the will of the !eliever to the will of Jod. 9rayer is an a t of spiritual e-pression whi h !rings us into onformity to the very nature and purpose of Jod/ KHindson, 5>>>, p. 55DBL. %e would all save mu h time, money and pain if we first talked to the Aord, instead of trying to figure out all our pro!lems in our own limited wisdom and strength. .X & ontinually prayed, YJod, tell me what to do. #how me what steps to take.

2n e we are in His will, then through the power of the Holy #pirit, we will have supernatural wisdom to impa t the world and help lead people to the Aord Oesus Christ.
