These all look to you, to give them their food in due season. When you give it to them, they gather it up; when you open your hand, they are filled with good things. When you hide your face, they are dismayed; when you take away their breath, they die and return to their dust. When you send forth your Spirit, they are created, and you renew the face of the ground. –Psalm 104:27-30 (ESV)–
Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father. But even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not, therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows. –Matthew 10:29-31 (ESV)–

Norman Vincent Peale, the author of The Power of Positive Thinking, had a tremendous impact on Pentecostal sermon delivery. The problem is, that Peale renounced the true Gospel of Jesus Christ, because that’s what you have to do in order to become a 33rd Degree Mason. They worship a phallic demon: it’s the greatest secret of their occultic secret society. Tons of people become oppressed as a result. They sell their souls to the devil for prosperity. See Ron Carlson’s sermon “Freemasonry and the Masonic Lodge.” It wasn’t until David Wilkerson met Leonard Ravenhill, that he started to move away from this overly positive mainline liberal nonsense, and preach righteousness with more seriousness and gravitas.
