Principles for a victorious life
TD Jakes lays out basic concepts and principles for discovering purpose and power through the anointing of the Holy Spirit in his book “Power for Living.” These insightful and soul-searching guidelines offer the reader specific instructions for experiencing answered prayer, staying focused on their search for God, and the power to live their dreams of him.
The narrative includes moving stories that tap into an inner focus on the soul that translates into self-examination, conviction, and confession. Bishop Jakes emphasizes the importance of having an open conversation with God. He encourages the reader to ask God questions as part of his diligent search for truth.
Each chapter highlights a feature called “Power Points to Live By”. These are made up of exercises for contemplation, reflection, or journaling with specific suggested action steps that, when taken, lead to the realization of the power to live.
Part II of the book includes 30 power principles intended to equip the reader to face their daily challenges. Each principle includes an inspiring scripture that provides wisdom for decisions and comfort for difficulties.
A final “Bonus” section contains instructions designed to help the reader release the anointing power of the Holy Spirit to give him “Power to Live.” Bishop TD Jakes writes with a sincere sense of compassion. It is his desire that each reader engage in an unreserved search for God, the Son of him Jesus of him, the anointed power of the Holy Spirit.
