Perfect Prayer Plan

I have attached a file so that you can print out the perfect prayer plan. This has been a fruitful staple in my life for a decade now. I commend it to you. All of it comes straight from the life of Jesus. Remember, #5,#6 and #7 are crucial for your own life - but also the exact things you should be praying into the lives of your enemies.

The topic of today's podcast relates to how you deal with your enemies. But I have lots of questions. What in the world is an enemy in our time? Can I identify an enemy, or a list of enemies, in my life? And once I figure out who it is, compared to simply someone who doesn't like me very much, what am I supposed to do about that?

We are a blessed people in our time. Most of us are protected from people who would truly do us harm. However, sometimes the people closest to us become our enemies. They oppose us, take our words in the worst light, and refuse to rebuild a friendship.

What would God have us do about that? Let's explore some ideas that can help.

- What is an enemy and how how do I determine if someone is an enemy?

- What would Christ have me do with my enemy?

- How important is self-evaluation when dealing with an enemy?

- How important is compassion for an enemy in dealing with them?

- What role does prayer play when the relationship seems irreparably broken?

• What is your dissertation about, what you're covering, and what you're researching? (3:35)
• When you say attitudes and beliefs, you are talking about their attitudes and beliefs towards technology, and how they're feeling? How are you proposing that we improve those or address that? (5:38)
• What is your take on merging entrepreneurship and education? (9:34)
• How to set up education to blend with innovation and entrepreneurship (19:42)
• Your conversations with many of these individuals on your shows that you have on your podcasts? Do you have any thoughts on how they can build awareness for themselves? And how to do that effectively? (15:25)

Quotes:

“I've noticed through the process is that attitudes and beliefs play a huge role within professional development and within technology integration.

“Trust is universal.”

"It's starting small and then iterating, and allowing that to grow."

"I would just encourage them to one start small. But if you're going against the stream and the stream is too heavy, and you can't break it, you might have to get out and Get into a different stream that has the flow where you want to go."
