     | 3,253 views

    Dwight D. Eisenhower used to demonstrate the art of leadership in a simple but forceful way. He would place a single piece of string on a table and say, "Pull it, and it follows wherever you want it to go. But push it, and it goes nowhere."

    The Holy Spirit Knows the Best Ways to Work With Each Leadership Style "When He the Spirit of truth is come, He will guide you into all truth." (John 16:13) Illustration: Shepherd the flock of God . . . , not for dishonest gain but eagerly; nor as being lords over those entrusted to you. --1 ...read more

     | 134 views

    based on 5 ratings
     | 15,553 views

    Praying ACCORDING TO GOD’S WILL is not an incantation to pull God to our will, but a guide to pull us to His will.

    “This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us,” 1 John 5:14. Praying according to God’s will is a key to effective prayer, but how do we know God’s will? It may be easier to know what is not his will. In ...read more
