I LOVED THIS BOOK AND SO DID MY HUSBAND. He doesn't read much but this was a short volume and now we both pray the prayer every day. God WANTS to bless us not so we can keep the blessing ourselves but to bless others. He wants to give us supernatural gifts in order to be able to bless others. To enlarge our territory only means to give us more opportunities for ministry. We need to have God's hand upon that ministry and to have the anointing for it. We need his protection against the evil one and not to cause any evil or pain ourselves. It's a wonderful prayer and I buy the book at Walmart's every time I go in as Christmas gifts to my loved ones. I tell folks not to knock it til they've tried it! Great book. Thanks for the post.

I include myself among those who need to hear this message. Not because I've suffered more than anyone else, but because psychologically I don't easily accept the fact that God wants to bless us.
But I have experienced God's generosity through a CPC that I am involved with. The Lord has rewarded the faithful work and witness of many Christians with a 100-fold increase, year after year.
