  1. JT This is the PowerBreak Podcast, I’m JT along with Bob Brubaker and this is the  –– time for some questions and answers. Feel free to submit your questions by EMAIL TO JT@bobbrubaker.com and we’ll get to the answer on an upcoming PowerBreak. Podcast…

 

  1. JTQuestion ONE - FROM THE SPIRITUAL SIDE OF LIFE….

 

Explain again how we can be in an attitude of unceasing prayer without actually praying 24/7.

 

  1. Bob & JT discuss

Key is unbroken fellowship with God which begins with time with God in His word and prayer….

From there we know that Jesus taught the need to keep coming back to God in prayer – which indicates that “praying without ceasing” is NOT necessarily praying continually

We also know the Holy Spirit will as we stay in fellowship will prompt us to pray -  maybe shorter prayers throughout the day

Our praying – regular times of devoted prayer and shorter prayers throughout the day will be living in a DEPENDENT attitude which is a critical point to prayer.

  1. JT – Question Two… “FROM THE MENTAL ASPECT”

 

What is the key to longer prayer sessions?

 

  1. Bob & JT discuss

 

The word of God and follow the word of God in prayer

Example 2 Chronicles 20

 

  1. (JT) Third Question …. From the physical side of life…

What do you do when it’s too hot to workout outside?

  1. Bob and JT discuss…
  • Workout INSIDE

Hal Higdon

  1. Taking more breaks than you normally do to rehydrate
  2. Slow down
  3. Cover up from the sun
  4. Workout earlier in the day to miss the heat and sun combo
  5. Cut your workout or skip it

BE SMART – NOT A HERO

 

JT’s list

 

Bob’s final comment – It takes discipline ….

 

Point: DISCIPLINE MAKES THE DIFFERENCE --- in all aspects of life
