When the World Trade Center was hit every one<br>of those principles were summoned within hours and the City sprang into action. Mayor Giuliani was<br>recognized globally as the greatest mayor that New York ever had! His eighth principle of leadership was,<br>\u201cPrepare Relentlessly!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>He developed his leadership principles when he led the federal prosecution of the New York City Mafia as a<br>U.S. Attorney for the southern district of New York. He routed out organized crime, brought business and<br>industry back to New York, and established the City once again in the prosperity, safety and security it had<br>known in years past!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Principles have power, which is why governments, corporations, and organizations operate by them. We, as<br>believers, follow Biblical principles which become our way of life. Biblical principles are spiritual laws that have<br>the backing and power of the kingdom of God. They are the laws of life that Jesus operated in during His<br>earthly ministry because Biblical principles bring God\u2019s presence, God\u2019s solutions, God\u2019s counsel, and God\u2019s<br>power into our situations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>During His ministry, Jesus prepared Himself each day by emptying Himself to the Father and filling up with<br>Holy Spirit. Several times in the Gospels we read how He prepared Himself. And His preparation placed a high<br>priority on prayer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Mark 1:35-37<br>\u201cAnd in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and<br>there prayed. And Simon and they that were with him followed after him. And when they had found him,<br>they said unto him, All men seek for thee.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Mark 6:46<br>After feeding the multitude:<br>\u201cAnd when he had sent them away, he departed into a mountain to pray.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Luke 5:16<br>\u201cAnd he withdrew himself into the wilderness, and prayed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Jesus connected with the Father in prayer, and the Father connected with Jesus when He taught and preached,<br>when He healed and delivered, when He overcame the forces of nature and worked miracles. Then, at the Last<br>Supper He said something stunning to His disciples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works<br>than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>I believe this is a call to believers to connect their faith with His Words and begin to prepare relentlessly<br>because we\u2019re not just talking about protecting a city, we\u2019re talking about uniting the Body of Christ to bring<br>power to a world that Jesus died for! The principles are found in the Word of God, and their Author wants to<br>finish what He commissioned us to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Let\u2019s pray, let\u2019s believe, let\u2019s meditate on the God\u2019s Word, and let\u2019s PREPARE RELENTLESSLY for the end time<br>harvest of the world!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>With Love,<br>Pastor Tom<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-black-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-elements-02890950be43667791b4df951a2dde95\">Kingdom Business is Eternal, as are the rewards that come from God.
