The purpose of this book is to assist people who find themeselves in stressful sistuations, whether it be in the home environment or at the work place; to help them lessen the stresses that plague them.

Are you happy with your job? Many of us that are working today, whether in your own business or working for another firm are not happly with their work or their accomplishments at work. You are dissatisfied with your work. Frustrated! Does this sound like you? No?

Seeking to improve yourself and want a more enjoyable and abundant life. Then you should obtain a copy of this book to reveal the mysteries and revelational knowledge of God.

In this scenario of my experience with one person in my congregation : I did not know , at the time , she was in the occult arts, reading tarots cards consulting them to tell peoples'future and fortunes. She confided in me that she thought the Practice of tarot cards was demonic.I know by what she told me that God was working with her. God never gives up on a person, who has strayed away from Him. God never changes. He never leaves us, His word is the same yesterday, today and forever. I asked her to join our Bible study, she began taking our Bible courses, being introduced to the Gospel Ministry of Jesus Christ, doing her lessons, fellowshipping in our services, she became very interested in the life of Christ. She related to me that she wanted to write Christian poetry. I encouraged her. In one of our prayer groups she received the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, by fire of the Holy Spirit; she spoke in unknown tongues, which confirmed the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. As she studied the Word, she began to understand the Word of the Lord. The Lord has blessed her, since then, she has written Christian poetry and has won many awards!

Whenever you have a situation that you cannot handle, althougyh you have done your best to change and correct the problem, you just can't straighten things out, it keeps coming back to haunt you... Give It Up To God, He will change the situation or the problem... TRUST HIM - HE CAN HANDLE IT BETTER THAN YOU CAN - AND FORGET IT - IT'S DONE WITH!!!!!

Control your mind with God's wisdom, one thought at a time. Do one thing at a time. Concentrate on one thing; think only on what you are doing. That is God oriented - that is right order. That is being positive. Anything else is negative and confusing. That's what Satan wants, a confused person so he can oppress or possess and take control of your very being. Thank God that Jesus Christ defeated Satan approximately 2000 years ago, for us.

Are you ready to put God in control of your life? Then read on...

The Bible speaks of three types of life:

1. The PHYSICAL LIFE: which is given to man at the time of the creation. God created man from the dust of the ground, then, He breathed into man's nostrils the breath of life and made man a living soul!

2. The SPIRITUAL LIFE: is a new life which God gives a person who believes in Jesus Christ, the renewing of the mind and being born-again of the Spirit and of Water. Having received the forgiveness of our sins and regenerated from them by water baptism and also, the baptism of the Holy Spirit (by FIRE).

3. ETERNAL LIFE: Is the very nature and characteristic of God, the Father. We can have eternal life if we believe on and in our Lord Jesus Christ; God so loved the world reveals the heart and the purpose of God. His love is so powerful enough to embrace all persons and situstions. God gave His Son as an offering for sin on the cross. The atonement proceeds from the loving heart of God. This atonement was not forced upon Him.

There have been many questions which permeated my brain such as: What is the purpose of life?What is prosperty? What are the secrets of prosperty? How do we focus on what we would like to have? What are the principles of life?

These and many other questions will be answered in this Book.

My prayer for the reader is that God, the Father, will give you the Revelational Knowledge of Him, that you may understand God and His ways more fully. Through the study of the Word you will become more mature in the Word of God. All things will be possible for you; that the stresses in your life will be diminished, and you will become a new creature in the Lord. Amen.
