for remaining hidden. When it is time for it to be expressed is when the urge to push comes. There is no holding it back when the time for delivery is due.
Your assignment and purpose are hidden in your spirit. This hope—God’s eternal purpose—is what God hides in you and will reveal through you in due time. Jesus said,
“There is nothing hidden which will not be revealed”
(Mark 4:22). Guard your heart and listen for God’s voice. Be faithful with what He gives you to do and say each and every day. Practice bringing what God shows you in the inner sanctum of your heart to the surface, bringing what He whispers to you in the darkness into broad daylight. For Jesus said, “
Whatever I tell you in the dark, speak in the light; and what you hear in the ear, preach on the housetops”
(Matthew 10:27).
Who among you will give ear to this? Who will listen and hear for the time to come?
—I SAIAH 42:23
He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.
—J OHN 7:38

THE MIND
What we are today comes from our thoughts of yesterday, and our present thoughts build our life of tomorrow: Our life is the creation of our mind.
—G AUTAMA S IDDHARTA
T houghts are not only produced by a series of neurological processes, but by what is the mystery of the spirit of the mind. When God created man, He created him as a thinking being—in His image and likeness. God created humans with the ability to think, imagine, and create. Paul asked the Corinthians,
“Who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct Him?”
(1 Corinthians 2:16). In the same verse he also gave the answer,
“But we have the mind of Christ.”
You and I have been given the mind of God in Christ—the great womb of all creation. Like God’s mind, our mind has been endued with divine creative power. The power of our thoughts, intentions, and words can manifest new realities, create something from nothing, and they can even alter the physical universe.
Dr. William Tiller, author of
Conscious Acts of Creation: The Emergence of a New Physics
, has set out to scientifically prove that mind affects matter. “We humans are much more than we think we are and Psychoenergetic Science continues to expand the proof of it,” 44 he writes. His experiments to demonstrate the effect of mind over matter began by imprinting electrical devices with a specific intention. He started by instructing four experienced meditation practitioners to focus their minds on the device with the intention to change the pH of water. The device was wrapped in aluminum and sent by overnight shipping to a laboratory two thousand miles away. When a jar of water was placed in the vicinity of the electrical device, the water’s pH changed by as much as one and a half full units, which is a very large amount.
It was when the same experiment was repeated over and over that the really significant effects began to show. Tiller has discovered and scientifically proven that when intent is repeated in the same space, eventually it becomes permanent. And when
that
happens, the laws of physics in that space no longer operate as they did before. When they kept running the same experiment over and over again, Tiller says, the laboratory began to become “conditioned” so that the same result would happen more strongly or more quickly. And eventually, it would happen even after the device was no longer in the room.
“In one of the spaces that we have used,” Tiller says, “the alteration in the space of the room has remained stable for well over a year, and it’s still going strong.” 45 In physical terms, what does this mean? What has actually happened to the “space” of the laboratory room? Tiller explains:
The experimental data we gather seems to indicate that it raises what is called the “physics gauge symmetry” of the room. In a “normal space,” the magnetic force is proportional to the gradient of the square of the
