The Mightiest Force in The World.

I'm reading a book by a Christian Mystic named Frank C. Laubach. Its entitled "Prayer: The Mightiest Force in The World." In it, Dr. Laubach expands on the notion that spiritual occurrences have just as much validity as physical, or even more. He states that telepathy is just another force, such as electricity. Although it hasn't been studied as closely as electricity, it still is valid. He also states that by focusing prayers like machine gun bullets at people that you would to share the gospel with, it sets their hearts in the right stage for receiving the gospel. A year ago I would probably have thrown this book in the garbage and labeled it outlandish and taboo to say the least. But with what I've learned recently, it makes perfect sense and, in my opinion, lines up perfectly with the Word of God. Why is it that churches today operate like social clubs? Why is it that there's a church on every corner, yet no spiritual awakening is happening in our societies? We have forgotten how to "Walk in the Spirit." How I understand it, the spiritual realm has laws just as the physical realm does. Walking in this realm requires one to understand (at least) the basic principles that lie within. Otherwise, one wouldn't know which way was up or down, how to take a step forward, how to communicate, etc. We have become more scientifically minded, but at the same time we've rejected anything that can't be dissected by this "omnipotent science." A few hundred years ago, most of the world wouldn't believe that it was possible to harness the power of lighting and use it in applications imagination only could comprehend. Now we find it commonplace. To understand the spiritual realm, it takes a faith that says, "I may not understand at this point just how it all works down to the very atom of the spirit, but I believe that it does work, that it does exist, and that I can tap into it." It all boils down to one singular affirmation: Trust in Jesus and live, or trust in self and die. Everything else is just splitting hairs.
