Your intuition is always calling you to the next realm of what you need to be, although you may not yet be clothed in that realm. Mary engineered that blessing. She got the people ready. Jesus was hesitant, but in telling the people to do as Jesus said, she prepared and set the scene, and she created within them a feeling of expectation. Jesus had to produce.  When you are expectant for a blessing, God respects that. He sees your faith and he responds. The Lord loves you. It’s something you need to get clear about. It’s a simple truth …

You go into your secret closet. Do you know what you are entering when you go into your secret closet? You are entering your divine intuition, your subconscious. It is calling you into every man who seeks to clothe you. You will not second-guess your mother. You will not second-guess your intuition. Intuition knows how to clothe the son.

Until you can get the prayer connected with the feeling, it is unlawful for the object of your desire to be in your experience. The feeling has to clothe your prayer. It has to fit. It has to match. It’s like a marriage. Until the …

Reverend Ike also coined the term, “Thinkonomics.” When asked what it meant, he said each person has to engineer his own success, and “Thinkonomics” is the science of doing just that. He explained that you can’t accident your way to riches—it has to be engineered. I am engineering my own success. Success is a technology. It takes technique to get what you want. You’re either moving in acceptance or you’re moving in rejection. This is a risky message to communicate, because people don’t like to take responsibility for what they don’t have, but it is absolutely true: The Father sees …
