Acts 28:23 · World English Bible
When they had appointed him a day, many people came to him at his lodging. He explained to them, testifying about God’s Kingdom, and persuading them concerning Jesus, both from the law of Moses and from the prophets, from morning until evening.
A whole day spent persuading, drawing on every scripture, points to the one work that matters inwardly. The kingdom of God is no place a person travels to, but the awareness of what he is and what his imagination can do.

MANIFESTATION
A whole day spent persuading, drawing on every scripture, points to the one work that matters inwardly. The kingdom of God is no place a person travels to, but the awareness of what he is and what his imagination can do. Convincing people of that takes patience, because the senses argue against it all day long.
And persuading concerning Jesus means bringing a person to accept the state he wants as already his. The whole labor from morning to evening is the labor of self-persuasion, holding a chosen conviction until it feels natural and undeniable. Conviction is the seed. A desire only takes root when a person is fully convinced of it within. That inner agreement, reached and held, is what afterward appears as the changed life outside.
Manifestation lens
What would it feel like to be fully convinced of this, not just hopeful about it?
What you are now came out of what you repeatedly thought. The mind takes the shape it is given, slowly and then completely.
Your life takes the color of the thoughts you return to. So keep returning, patiently, to the ones you actually want to live in.
The great thing is finished by small steady acts. Nothing is hurried, and nothing is abandoned halfway.
