For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord
Jesus Christ, Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is
named, That he would grant you, according to the riches of his
glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner
man; That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye,
being rooted and grounded in love, May be able to
comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and
depth, and height; And to know the love of Christ, which
passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fullness
of God. Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly
above all that we ask or think, according to the power that
worketh in us, Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus
throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.
Ephesians 3:14-21
-John 14:16, 17
-John 16:7
The Holy Spirit will guide you into all truth and show you
things to come. He will show, declare, and transmit the things
of God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ to you. Jesus said
the Holy Spirit will move in you and dwell in you. He will bring
you into close fellowship with the Father and the Lord Jesus.
The Holy Spirit takes everything Jesus has done for you and
makes it real to you. He is the power and presence of the risen
and triumphant Christ in you.
THE MIND OF A GENIUS
IF YOU WANT TO STUDY THE MIND OF A GENIUS...BE
FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT.
You can do more in one year if you are filled with the
Holy Spirit than you can do in fifty years apart from
Him.
It’s impossible to over-estimate the importance of
being filled with the Holy Spirit.
When you are filled with the Spirit, then you will
know the voice of God.
-William Barclay
STRENGTH FOR BATTLE
The word “Parakalein” was used in classic Greek to describe
the verb form of “Parakletos”. The Holy Spirit helps us to
translate the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ into our
personal victory. The Holy Spirit is not just consolation or
sympathy in sorrow or distress, He does much more than that.
William Barclay says it this way:
-Smith Wigglesworth
SEISMIC RETROFIT
The Holy Ghost never comes on you or works in you just to
make you look good. He is actually strategically strengthening
you in areas of your life so you can face any situation. When
the storm is over and the dust clears, you will still be standing.
Years ago, I was driving through San Diego and noticed that
some of the buildings had cables running from each of their
corners to the ground. I had never seen that on a building
before, so I wanted to know what it was. I found out that it was
called seismic retrofit. They strategically strengthened these
buildings so that when an earthquake hits, they will not
collapse. These buildings are strengthened from corner to
corner, inside and outside, so after the shaking of an
earthquake, they will still stand.
I believe the Holy Ghost can give you some seismic retrofit.
You may not have certain strengths in your life, but theHoly
Ghost will add things to you. He will strengthen you in your
inner man. When the devil shakes you, you can say, “I’m still
standing.” Thank God for the Holy Spirit that is our
Strengthener.
Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot
receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth
him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and
shall be IN you.
-John 16:15 12
- John 16:15
-Amplified Bible
IF YOU ARE FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT THEN YOU
ARE WITH GOD.
The Holy Spirit takes things that belong to the Father and
Jesus, and transmits them to you. If you are filled with the Holy
Spirit then you are filled with God. The Holy Spirit will expand
you to make room for all He has for you.
-Ephesians 5:18
I like this excerpt from Smith Wigglesworth’s book Ever
Increasing Faith:

THE HOLY SPIRIT WILL NOT FORCE HIS WAY INTO YOUR
LIFE.
-1 John 2:27
This move of God was not only for Los Angeles, but
it was for the whole world – even future generations.
Ultimately hundreds of millions have been reached
as an indirect result of Azusa Street.
Ephesians 3:14-21
- Psalm 29:9
THE GLORY…
-Colossians 1:26, 27
THE GLORY OF GOD IS ONE OF THE MOST
OUTSTANDING CHARACTERISTICS ABOUT GOD.
-Habakkuk 2:14
GLORY…GET LOADED
RICHES IN GLORY…
TAP INTO THE TREASURY
One commentary I read defined the glory this way: wealth,
numbers, commerce, power, wisdom, promotion, superiority,
dignity, authority, nobility, splendor, valor, magnificence,
extraordinary privileges, and advantages.
-Isaiah 40:3, 5, 9
When you lift up your voice in faith and victory, angels are
activated and it gives you access to the glory of God and the
blessing of God.
At the first camp, you must stay for two weeks. Then you
will go up to another altitude camp and stay there for a month.
Each altitude camp, something happens to your blood.
Actually, your red blood cells begin to increase because the
oxygen is so thin at such high altitudes. By the time you reach
the final altitude camp your blood has twice as many red blood
cells as it did at the first altitude camp.
-Psalm 63:1, 2
EXPERIENCE THE GLORY FOR
YOURSELF
I remember when I was 17 years old, I cried out and said,
“God, show me your glory. I can’t live off my parents
experience, I need to experience and see your glory for myself.”
You can’t live off of another person’s experience, sermon, or
vision. You must experience the glory of God for yourself.
YOU MUST EXPERIENCE THE GLORY OF GOD FOR
YOURSELF.
-2 Corinthians 3:18
EVERY BELIEVER SHOULD NOT ONLY HAVE AN INITIAL
EXPERIENCE WITH THE GLORY, BUT SHOULD GO FROM
GLORY TO GLORY.
God wants you to experience more glory this year than you
did last year. The man with an argument is always at the mercy
of the man with an experience. When Paul stood before King
Agrippa he explained his experience with the risen Christ.
He said:
-Acts 26:13
You must learn to let the Holy Spirit land on you. You will
find out real quick the Holy Spirit doesn’t land everywhere. If
He hasn’t landed on you in a while, you might want to find out
what is wrong with your landing strip. When the Holy Ghost
lands on you, the glory of God is manifested. When the glory
of God is manifested, things begin to change.
EXPOSED TO THE GLORY
The glory of God has the power to produce and birth things
into your life that have never existed before. Look at Psalm 29:
-Psalm 29:9
-Amplified Bible
When I think of the wisdom and scope of his plan I fall down
on my knees and pray to the Father of all the great family of
God – some of them already in heaven and some down here on
earth – that out of his glorious, unlimited resources he will give
you the mighty inner strengthening of his Holy Spirit. And I
pray that Christ will be more and more at home in your hearts,
living within you as you trust in him. May your roots go down
deep into the soil of God’s marvelous love; and may you be
able to feel and understand, as all God’s children should, how
long, how wide, how deep, and how high his love really is; and
to experience this love for yourselves, though it is so great that
you will never see the end of it or fully know or understand it.
And so at last you will be filled up with God himself. Now glory
be to God who by his mighty power at work within us is able to
do far more than we would ever dare to ask or even dream of –
infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts, or
hopes. May he be given glory forever and ever through
endless ages because of his master plan of salvation for the
church through Jesus Christ.
Ephesians 3:14-21
Amazingly, the ball turned and headed right into the hole. As
the crowd cheered, I sat there amazed that he had made the
putt. I thought he had putted the ball the wrong way. However,
from my view, I could not see the lay of the land on green. The
golfer actually had to putt the ball uphill because the direction
and the pace of the ball were critical. He judged it perfectly and
the ball landed right in the hole.
-James 2:17
-Amplified
-James 2:26
For as the human body apart from the spirit is
lifeless, so faith apart from (its) works of obedience
is also dead.
-Amplified
-Mark 9:23
I once watched a video documentary about salmon. The
salmon is known as a fish with a fighting spirit. Noah
Webster’s 1828 dictionary defines and describes salmon this
way, “A fish of the genus Salmon, found in all the northern
climates of America, Europe, and Asia, ascending the rivers for
spawning in spring, and penetrating to their head streams. It is
a remarkably strong fish, and will even leap over considerable
falls which lie in the way of its progress.”
You may know the story of the salmon as they fight the
current to go upstream to lay their eggs before they die. They
challenge the strong current, rapids, rocks, and even bears, to
reach their destination. Salmon have a remarkable Global
Positioning System put in them by God that enables them to
travel as much as 2,000 miles to locate the exact stream where
they were born. They go up that particular stream, lay their
eggs, and fertilize them. Their sense of direction, destiny, and
determination is amazing.
God is able to get you in the right place, at the right time with
the right people. He has an exact destiny or stream that you
should go up to lay your eggs. It takes a spirit of faith to locate
this exact stream and overcome the adversity that comes
against us as we do the will of God. This sounds similar to the
Apostle Paul’s life: “For a great door and effectual is opened
unto me, and there are many adversaries,” (1 Corinthians 16:9).
God has a great effectual open door for your life. There is an
open door for you but there are also many adversaries. In spite
of the adversaries, you can walk through that door and do all
of the will of God. Paul did the will of God and left some
“eggs”: New Testament letters (Romans, Corinthians,
Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, etc.) that are still
changing lives after 2000 years.
Keep believing and speaking and your faith will guide you
into all God has for you. Your faith will open the door of the
supernatural for you and many others to travel through. Smith
Wigglesworth said, “Never look back if you want the power of
God in your life.” The spirit of faith goes forward and presses
for those things that are ahead.
- 2 Corinthians 4:13
The spirit of faith affects every area of your life. Paul gives
us two necessary ingredients to the spirit of faith –believing
and speaking. Believing is the attitude of faith. You can choose
fear and doubt, or you can have an attitude of faith.
THE LAST OF ALL HUMAN FREEDOMS IS THE ABILITY
TO CHOOSE ONE’S OWN ATTITUDE REGARDLESS OF
CIRCUMSTANCES.
You have the choice to believe and speak what God says
about you. You have the choice to be happy on the way to
your divine destiny.
RISE UP IN FAITH
While ministering in Albuquerque, New Mexico, I went to a
hot-air balloon festival. This event is the largest hot-air balloon
festival in the world. It was an amazing sight with over 700 hot-
air balloons flying in the sky at the same time. They had a
competition to see which balloon could get closest to the
designated target.
The first act of faith is to move your mouth. There are other
acts of faith, but moving your mouth is essential to faith.
Romans 10:8-9 says, “What saith it? The word is near you, in
your mouth and in your heart, that is the word of faith which
we preach. That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord
Jesus and shalt believe in thine heart God raised Him from the
dead, thou shalt be saved.” Again, the word of faith begins in
your mouth.
YOUR FAITH MUST CHANGE YOUR WORDS BEFORE IT
WILL CHANGE YOUR WORLD. IF YOU ARE SILENT, YOU
LOSE BY DEFAULT.
By faith, we can enter into rest and let God do His part. Our
part is to speak and to believe and God’s part is to do what we
could never do on our own. Have faith in God. God is pleased
by faith. He is looking for faith. He has given us His Word to
feed our faith. He has given us clear instructions on how faith
works. We have the same spirit of faith. Smith Wigglesworth
said, “Any man can be changed by faith, no matter how he may
be fettered.” Satan cannot make a chain that faith cannot break.
Jesus breaks every chain and sets us free.
I have a niece that used to live in Italy. One day she came
home with her paper from grade school and was crying. She
had drawn a picture and one of the kids from the class had
taken her paper and put a big ugly mark on it. She is a
tenderhearted girl so she was very upset. Her mom, trying to
comfort her, encouraged her to settle down. She then took a
pen and began to try to fix the picture. She started working
with the ugly mark and before long, it had become a beautiful
flower.
When you have a spirit of faith, you don’t just see the
problems and the bad experiences you have had, you see what
God can do when you come to Him. You can boldly say, “I
have a spirit of faith. It may look like something bad has
happened to me, but I believe that God is going to make
something good out of it.” God never has said, Uh Oh! Faith in
God can turn any situation around.
I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions
for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins.
Put me in remembrance: let us plead together:
declare thou, that thou mayest be justified.
-Isaiah 43:25-26
-Isaiah 44:22
GOD IS IN THE FORGIVENESS BUSINESS.
Jesus then told the paralyzed man to “Arise!” The man got
up totally healed of all paralysis. This miracle caused the
religious leaders much trouble. The rules and regulations of
religion have paralyzed many people. However, when you get
in the presence of Jesus, forgiveness and restoration are freely
given. What a wonderful Jesus we have who forgives and
heals! He is our Redeemer today.
REMIND ME OF THIS PROMISE
In Isaiah 43:25-26, we know God’s promise says that Heblots
out our transgressions and will not remember our sins.
However, we are to put God in remembrance of His Word. God
says remind me of this promise. This promise of forgiveness
and faith in His Word opens the door to God’s goodness.
-Psalms 103:3
Ephesians 3:14-21

Be A People Person, John Maxwell
Several years ago, Trina and I took our children to Disney
World in Florida. It was such a creative and exciting place for
children with a lot of rides and entertainment. It was also quite
an expensive trip for our family. I thought it was funny when I
saw a mother scolding and correcting her little boy. The little
boy had been whining, grouchy, and complaining. The mother
grabbed him firmly by the arm and said, “I brought you here to
have a good time, and you’re going to have a good time!” The
mother commanded him to stop complaining and whining, and
to get happy right away. She went on to explain to the boy why
he was commanded to have fun. She said, “I paid too much for
this trip for you to be grouchy and complaining. It has taken us
too long to get here for you to ruin it with your whining!” The
little boy promptly dried his tears, stopped whining, and
enjoyed the rest of the trip. I laughed because I understood
exactly how that mother felt.
ENJOYING THE TRIP
Now I can imagine our Father God having a similar problem
with some of his children. I can hear Him saying:
-I Peter 1:8
...you believe in Him and exult and thrill with
inexpressible and glorious (triumphant, heavenly)
joy.
-Amplified Bible
BELIEVING IS ALWAYS ACCOMPANIED BY JOY.
-Psalm 118:24
-Philippians 4:4
-Isaiah 12:3
-James 1:2
-Ephesians 3:16
-Amplified Bible
-I Peter 1:8,9
-Genesis 21:6
-Hebrews 11:11
The people that know the joyful sound are the ones who get
into the presence of God and walk in the light of His
countenance. This joy is not dependent on how much money
you have in the bank or who likes you; it is supernatural. It
comes from heaven. It comes from God. God has this joy in Him
and as believers, the same joy is in us.
-Luke 1:45
You are not the performer; you are just the believer. There is
no pressure on you whatsoever to perform that thing that God
has spoken to you. You do not have to try to make it happen.
The only pressure on you is to keep the switch of faith turned
on. You do that by believing, speaking, and acting like the
Bible is true. Rejoice that what God has promised, He is also
able to perform. When you begin rejoicing, laughing, and
shouting by faith, something happens in the spirit realm and
the glory finds a place to land!
For in the time of trouble, He shall hide me in His
pavilion: in the secret of His tabernacle shall He
hide me; He shall set me up upon a rock. And now
shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies
round about me: therefore, will I offer in His
tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will
sing praises unto the Lord.
-Psalm 27:5,6
Those people were not ashamed to get ugly for Jesus! If you
are really concerned about looking pretty, it’s going to make it
difficult to be effective in the realm of the spirit. God doesn’t
want everyone to look pretty when they get around Him; He
just wants them to get wild! Smile, jump, run, laugh, dance, and
shout! God brought you here to have dominion. There is no
penalty for excessive celebration in the kingdom of God. God
has chosen the foolish things of this world to confound the
mighty.
After he danced before the Lord, David fed the entire nation.
When he went to bless his household, his wife told him that he
looked like a fool. She despised him in her heart because of his
response to the presence of God. She thought he should have
been more dignified. David responded to her by saying, “I
should be more vile than this. I will humble myself in the sight
of the people and I will lower myself in my own sight,” verse
22.
...God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the
humble.
-James 4:6
-Psalm 68:3
-Amplified
...Oh, Rejoice in His presence.

THE WIGGLESWORTH
SHUFFLE
In Dr. Lester Sumrall’s book entitled Pioneers of Faith, He
gave this account of one of his personal visits with Smith
Wigglesworth:
-Philippians 4:4
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU
REJOICE
IF YOU ONLY KNEW WHAT HAPPENS IN THE SPIRIT
WHEN YOU REJOICE, YOU WOULD REJOICE EVERY DAY.
One day, the Lord spoke to me so clearly and said, “If you
only knew what happens in the spirit when you rejoice, you
would rejoice every day.” When we rejoice, we are acting like
sons and daughters of God! Rejoicing is an act of faith.
Remember the words of Paul in Acts 27:25: “Cheer up...I believe
God that it shall be as He told me.” When we believe God, we
can cheer up! Believing and rejoicing ushers in the glory and
goodness of God in our lives.
-1 Peter 1:8
-Living Bible
-Habakkuk 3:19
JOY NEUTRALIZES PRESSURE
The Apostle Paul had the Jews, the Gentiles, and the
Romans putting pressure on him. During one of the most
difficult hours of his life, he began singing praises to God.
-Acts 16:25
The devil can put pressure on you and get you into a corner,
but as long as he can’t shut your mouth, you are able to
overcome. Oral Roberts said, “Every day there’s a miracle
coming to you or passing you by.” That means if you allow
pressure to push you out of your position, you’ll miss your
miracle.
-1 Corinthians 10:13
GOD IS RESTORING YOUR JOY
At 75 years of age, Norman Vincent Peal, was asked when
were the best ten years of his life. He replied, “I haven’t lived
them yet!”
Shake off the dust of the past. God will restore the years that
the devil tried to mess up in your life. Don’t look back with
regret. What the devil meant for evil, God is turning around for
your good.
- Psalm 34:19
GOD ALWAYS HAS AN ESCAPE ROUTE AND IS FAITHFUL
TO BRING US OUT.
I’m glad that the Lord said in Psalm 34:19 that He would
deliver us out of all of our afflictions. He did not say half of
them or most of them, He siad, “out of them all.” God always
makes a way out. God always has an escape route and is
faithful to bring us out. The word “afflictions” means:
adversity, distress, tribulation, persecution, depression, misery,
trouble, and pressure. God never guarantees us that we will be
exempt from adversity. He does guarantee to always bring us
out.
-Psalm 30:5
Joy cometh in the morning. It may seem like a long night, but
the night cannot last forever. The sun is coming up on a new
day. The Sun of Righteousness is rising with healing in His
wings (beams) and you shall go forth and grow up as calves
released from the stall (Malachi 4:2). As sure as the sun comes
up every morning, your deliverance is on the way. The earth is
constantly turning on its axis. Even though you may not feel
like it, your situation is turning right now. It may seem dark
now, but something is happening. Things are turning, the
morning is certain, and the sun is rising. Say this out loud now:
JOY COMETH!!! HEALING COMETH!!! BLESSING
COMETH!!! MONEY COMETH!!! FAITH COMETH!!!
THE TURNING POINT
Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing:
thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with
gladness.
-Psalm 30:11
-Isaiah 61:3
A HAPPY APPOINTMENT
UNSPEAKABLE JOY IS A CONTAINER OF THE GLORY OF
GOD.
For this reason I bow my knees to the Father, - the great first
cause of all who claim a father, alike in Heaven and on earth. I
pray that He may, with a fulness measured only by the wealth
of His own glory, vouchsafe to you to be made strong with
power infused by His Spirit into your inmost nature. I pray that
Messiah may, through your faith, make His home in your
hearts; that so, like trees, firm-rooted in love, like temples,
having a firm foundation in love – you may, in common with all
His consecrated ones, be fully able to comprehend what is the
breadth, the length, the depth, the height–ay, really to know
the love of Messiah (which transcends all ‘illumination,’) that
you may be filled with all the plentitude of God.
Ephesians 3:14-21
Arthur S. Way
Everyone likes a great story that begins with the phrase,
“Once upon a time....” The story of Jesus is the greatest story
ever told. It is not a fantasy, but a true story that has changed
the world for thousands of years. The story of Jesus is told in
over a thousand languages to millions of people, young and
old, around the world and is still changing lives today! One
day as I was studying Hebrews 9 and 10, the word “ONCE”
stood out so clearly. I began to see God’s plan of redemption in
Christ and how the wisdom and power of God very effectively
“ONCE” paid the price for our freedom.
-Hebrews 9:12
-Amplified
ONCE! That’s all it took! What Jesus did for us in His death,
burial, and resurrection, He only had to do ONCE! He shed His
blood, ONCE! He paid the price for our freedom, ONCE! He put
away and abolished sin, ONCE! He defeated and dethroned
Satan, ONCE FOR ALL TIME...ONCE for all mankind...ONCE
for the cure of every condition...ONCE for every blessing in
Heaven to be ours!
-Hebrews 10:10
-Hebrews 10:14
THE STORY OF THE BLOOD OF JESUS IS AN
ESTABLISHED FACT THROUGHOUT ETERNITY.

WE LOOK A LOT BETTER IN CHRIST THAN WE DO
OUTSIDE OF HIM.
When looking at a group picture, the first thing you look for
is yourself. The death, burial, and resurrection of Christ is a
“Group Picture.” You need to look for yourself in the group
picture of redemption. You were included on the cross and
were there in His resurrection and triumph.
-Ephesians 2:6
-Romans 8:32
-Jordan
I played football in high school so I know what it means to
come in as a substitute for somebody. If you have ever
watched a football game on TV, you hear announcers giving
their commentary on what is taking place in the game. You may
hear the announcer talk about a particular player, let’s say
number 65 (that was my number in high school). The guys on
the other team are pounding him all over the field and stomping
him really bad. He is bleeding and has grass stains and dirt all
over him. Every time the ball is hiked, number 65 gets
slaughtered. He gets pushed so far back that you think he’s on
the other team. Number 65 is just being dominated by the other
team. Then the coach says, “I’ve got a plan.” He pulls number
65 out and replaces him with the strongest man on the team.
That’s what God did for us when He sent Jesus to die in our
place. God put Jesus in number 65’s (mankind’s) jersey. Number
65 runs back on the field, and now the whole picture changes.
The announcer says, “You know, something has happened to
number 65. He’s moving that ball all over the field now.”
God saw our condition and knew that He could not train us
enough to change the game. He knew there was no other way
than to get in our jersey. He said, “We can’t train them, let’s
just jump on the inside of them. I’ll live on the inside of them.
I’ll walk in them.” God moved on the inside of you and got in
your jersey. He identified with you so you could identify with
Him.
-Galatians 2:20
The stock of the plant must be cut with the same identical
wound as the branch in order for the two to grow together.
Then, you must put that branch inside of the open wound of
the plant and wrap them together and they will become one. On
the cross, Jesus was wounded with our identical condition and
we were placed In Him. There is no “grafting” without
wounding.
Jesus took our guilt, shame, sin, death, and curse so that we
could be free. We were engrafted into His death that we might
be one with His resurrection and victory. He was made to be
sin for us that we might be made the righteousness of God In
Him (2 Corinthians 5:21).
-Romans 10:11
-Colossians 1:22
SHAME-FREE LIVING
Shame is the issue that drives almost every compulsive, self-
defeating behavior known to the human race. Shame is at the
root of all addictions. It may be forgotten, hidden, or disguised,
but the shame is there, is real, and it drives behavior.
Sometimes the shame surfaces first. In other cases, the
addiction surfaces first. Whenever we encounter one, we
always look for the other. Shame and addiction can always be
found together.
RIGHTEOUSNESS:
REVELATION AND
MOTIVATION
It is important to understand that the Gospel of Christ is a
revelation of righteousness (Romans 1:16–17). Understanding
righteousness is fundamental to Christianity. Understanding
righteousness also enables us to win the fight of faith. The
Apostle Paul’s letters help us to understand that righteousness
is a free gift. His letters also help us to see ourselves “In
Christ.”
-Ruth 2:12
-Philippians 4:19
You can see the same principle with Cornelius in Acts 10. He
was a devout man that feared God. He gave “much alms to the
people, and prayed to God always,” Acts 10:2. His prayers and
his giving came up as a memorial before God and the glory of
God came to his family. Cornelius and his whole house were
filled with the Holy Spirit. Some of God’s paydays are better
than money!
For years, Trina and I had been sowing seed and believing
God for a plane for the ministry. We had found a Cessna 421
and were making arrangements to purchase it. The next week at
our annual leadership conference, we were blessed with over
half of the money needed to purchase the plane. We were so
thankful for the Lord’s abundant provision and were
continuing to believe God for the plane to be completely paid
for.

Jesus said if you will believe, you will see the glory of God
(John 11:40). Jesus was not talking about some day far into the
future - He was speaking of a manifestation of God’s goodness
and power, now! This is the day the Lord has made, let us
rejoice and be glad in it! Go ahead and rejoice like your dream is
coming to pass! LET THE GOOD TIMES ROLL!!!
