Because more than ten millions of his albums were sold throughout the world, Joe Satriani was once known as the top seller instrumental rock guitarist of all time. But a few would know about how Steve Vai actually learned his skills from Joe Satriani too. Once upon a time, a young man came to knock on the door of Joe's house. He carried a guitar without strings in one hand and one set of strings in the other hand. This young man could not play guitar at all, but Joe knew that he had a strong passion. Joe then accepted him as a student. Now, that young man has become a well-known and adored guitarist too. His name is Steve Vai, one of the top ten great guitarists in the world according to Guitar World magazine.
Steve Vai came to Joe's house carrying three important parts to realize his vision and his dream. A guitar without strings, a set of strings, and a great passion within himself. Without strings, a guitar cannot function. A guitar not played is no more than a silent guitar. A guitarist without a complete guitar will not be able to play any kinds of music. But, a complete guitar played with passion will produce a very beautiful music.
To become a spiritual giant who is rich in anointing, we also have to possess three important and unseparated things. Faith, the words of God and also prayers. Without all of them present, we can not have a life as a Christian who has the power of God. If we know the words of God and have faith in them, but do not request anything in our prayers, then we will not receive anything that our hearts long for. We can be good at the words of God and pray a lot, but faith is the one pulling God's power to work. Without contemplating on the words of God, true faith from God will not arise in our hearts. But, when we patiently strengthen those three things in our spirituality, then His anointing and power in our lives will be manifested strongly. REFLECTION Saudara Terkasih, FAITH, THE WORDS OF GOD, and PRAYERS cannot stand alone; you have to possess all of them to GROW IN ANOINTING. APPLICATIONS 1. How do you know if you already have faith, the words of God, and also prayers in your life? 2. Why do you need to have faith, the words of God and prayers so you can grow in anointing? 3.
