Here lately I’ve been praying a lot about my lifestyle and attitude of worship. I recall Sunday mornings where I see the Spirit of God all over people and I wonder and ask, "Why am I not worshiping like that?"

Here lately Pastor has been teaching on the thought life. How it happens, how it affects, and he will soon teach on how to tear down the strongholds in our thought life.
This morning as I reading, I came across Hebrews 4:12. I knew the verse, but always put emphasis on the word of God being sharper than any two-edged sword. I knew it was powerful, but I never saw the application of which its power can be used.
