Prophets are focused and like praying the plans and purposes of God. Prophets don’t want to just pray about anything and everything. Prophets want to ‘zero in’ on what God wants to do.

John Eckhardt
God asked Moses to design a brazen serpent and hang it on a tree and anyone that was bitten by a snake should focus his or her attention on the snake that was on the tree and they would be healed.

Enoch Idowu Aminu
