The most important success habit in life is reading and understanding the Wis- dom of God...through the Holy Scriptures. The Word of God is your Wisdom for Life (Deut. 4:6).

When I pray for you in The Secret Place, I am asking God to unleash the stron- gest passion you’ve experienced...to know Him through His Word. It will change your focus, health, financial freedom and especially, your inner peace. Your Seeds are scheduling a Divine Harvest.

Worth, TX 76117 THE BOOK THAT CHANGED MY LIFE � 3 WHY I WROTE THIS BOOK � My Greatest Mind Battle Was Over The Word. When I entered my late teens, intense warfare emerged in my mind. It seemed that contradictions in the Scriptures existed. Then, I began to doubt the validity of the Bible when I saw hypocrisy in believers, inconsistencies in ministers and my own difficulty to live “the Biblical standard.” Two years of erratic and emotional turmoil occurred. I loved the presence of God and received from The Word of God. However, it seemed that the logic of my mind and the faith in my heart were in constant opposition. One day in honest desperation I asked the Lord to provide confidence and inner peace that the Bible was truly His infallible Word, not merely the compilation of human thoughts and ideas. Three powerful truths emerged: 1. No Human Would Have Written A Standard As High As The Scriptures Teach. No husband would have written to treat your wife like Christ treats the church. No wife would have written to obey your husband. No teenager would have written that foolishness is bound in the heart of a child, but the rod of correction will drive it far from him. No rich man would have admitted that he that trusts in his riches will fail. 2. The Changes That Occur In Those Who Embrace The Word Of God Are Supernatural. Drug addiction has been broken. Alcoholics have been set free and delivered. Those who are violent have 4 � MIKE MURDOCK become meek and submissive. 3. The Very Presence Of A Bible Often Produces An Aura And Change In The Atmosphere. I have been on planes and noted an entire group of people become instantly silent when I pulled out my Bible. No novel of fiction affects men like this. Encyclopedias do not affect men like this. Lay a dictionary on a restaurant table. Nobody looks at you twice. But, lay a Bible on a restaurant table in visible view, and they will stare at you the entire meal. The magnetism of The Word of God is indescribable, irrefutable and unforgettable. Yet, it is the Unused Weapon, the Undiscovered Map, the Untapped Well of Wisdom on earth. It is the Master Weapon provided to us by the Father to escape satanic deception and snares. The Gospel contains two Forces: 1. The Person Of Christ. 2. The Principles Of Christ. The Person of Jesus creates your peace. The Principles create your prosperity. The Person of Jesus prepares you for Eternity. The Principles prepare you for Earth. The Word Of God Will Solve Every Problem In Your Life. That’s why I wrote this book. THE BOOK THAT CHANGED MY LIFE � 5 � 1 � THE WORD OF GOD IS THE MOST IMPORTANT BOOK ON EARTH� The Word Of God Is Your Success Handbook. Encyclopedias impart knowledge of people, places and events.

But, nothing is as important as the Wisdom of God for communicating Laws of Success for your life. 11 Reasons Why The Bible Is The Most Important Book On Earth 1.

Gideon, Abraham, David, Paul and Jesus were Deliverers. The Word reveals how people become captives—and even explains the Assignment of every minister. (Read Isaiah 61:1.) 10. The Word Of God Creates Conviction That Causes Change. Without conviction, you could live a lifetime in error and die without even moving toward God. 11.
