Success in 3D: Three Law s of Success
by Kelvin Easter
Success in 3D is the result of over 25 years
of personal development and leadership
experience. My passion is to see people of
all groups, win in life. Over the years, I
have been intentionally committed to my
personal growth. I have invested
thousands of dollars toward the
development of my personal life and
leadership skills. I believe the Creator
designed us to maximize our potential in
the spiritual, mental and physical realms,
of our lives.We are to be holistic in our
growth and development. I have
experienced great results, through the
application of God?s laws and principles,
which govern life, on our planet. I hope
you will become as passionate as I am,
about growing and winning in life.

Success in 3D covers three incredible laws,
which I feel are key to personal
achievement. A law is a statement of fact,
deduced from observation to the effect
that a particular natural or scientific
phenomenon always occurs if certain
conditions are present.Over the years, I
have observed and studied the laws of
Desire, Discovery, and Discipline and have
found them to be integral to the
achievements of mankind; without respect
of person, race or religion. I truly believe
these attributes are essential to success in
life. Therefore, I have chosen to call them
laws in this writing.
Now, for the record, this treatment is, by no means, an exhaustive study of these laws. Neither was it
intended to be an exegete on an exclusively biblical basis or any passage of scripture, from the ancient
text. Rather, my intentions are for it to serve as a catalyst for spurring thought. It is written to challenge
the mind and to encourage the reader to study how things work. It is meant to stimulate curiosity in
the seeker?s heart, toward discovering truth.I would like to encourage you, as you begin reading this
book, to prepare your heart and set your intention for maximum benefit. Take good notes and use a
highlighter. Remember, repetition is the mother of learning. You will not get all you can, from the first
reading. Activate the law of repetition by reviewing this book and your notes often. Over the years, I
have committed myself to the practice of repetition and have reaped the benefits. Now, activate your
mind and heart with the intention of ascending to a higher level.

Finding Your Prophetic Place
?It is possible to be prophetically misplaced simply because you are in
the wrong sphere, manifesting the wrong mantle type, or merely
emphasizing your giftings more than your official faculties.?
Dr. Paula Price
Frequently, prophets ask me about purpose and placement. The majority of my
questions come from young prophets; a good number also comes from those coming
through the ministry?s preparatory trials. The question I get most often of late is, ?How
do I find my prophetic place?? It seems to be the almost universal heart cry of
prophetic messengers realizing that the open doors, and open hearts, they expected are
nowhere near as open to their brand of ministry as they are to the other types. Another group
that wants to know the answer to these is the prophetic late bloomers. They are the people the
Lord hid His prophetic calling from until later in their lives. Similar to Moses, for example, they
were occupied in their younger years with other endeavors. After working in other fields for
decades, God is now awakening them to their prophetic destiny. Upon hearing the Lord's
prophetic voice, they are just finally connecting with the prophetic side of their makeup. For
many of them it is a surprise, although in hindsight some say that for years they sensed
something working mysteriously in the backdrop of their lives. With precious little time to waste
on long winding search paths, the late bloomers want to know immediately what their
prophetic awakening means so they can get it right, and get right into it while they can. The
younger ones, on the other hand, want to get it right and get right into it too, only for other
reasons. They want to answer destiny?s call and make their mark in the world and in God and
Christ. Altogether, I get enough calls from others outside of these two groups to let me know
that this is indeed a matter to be addressed. So here goes.
Other than the apostle, there is probably no other minister in the Lord's service harder to place than
prophets. This is especially true when one thinks of their being called to more than the local church.
Many prophets are scarcely confirmed and trained enough for the Lord's church, let alone groomed
enough for a secular prophetic assignment. One of the major reasons for the difficulty prophets face
in finding their most compatible place in ministry is how the Lord brings them into His service. The
situation goes something like this. The Holy Spirit starts by altering how He interacted with the new
prophet in the past to signal that something new is about to take place between them. Sometimes
abruptly, their interactions change without the prophet knowing why at first. If the person is in
relationship with Jesus Christ, this is God's approach; if not, He simply breaks His silence in their life
and tells them what He called them to do. This sometimes curt encounter is preceded or caused by
extensive occult experiences. Either way, the difficulty in prophets finding their place in the ministry
is rooted in one of the two approaches. In which 4case, the personal encounter between the Lord and

Finding Your Prophetic Place Dr. Paula Price
His future prophet and their subsequent interactions leave most of the confirmation of the
calling up to the prophet to prove, unless the Lord sends another to bear witness to the secret
events that took place between them. With formal career screening, verification, and schooling
not being viable possibilities for this office as yet, the Lord must summon prophets to His
service by approaching them directly. They in turn must answer His call by blindly going about
figuring out what it means to be a prophet and how the ministry is to work through them. This
approach could take years and court a lifetime of pain and suffering or setbacks in the process.
Because of it, and due to the lack of a formal way to manifest and verify their ministries,
prophets start out largely unaffirmed or only marginally affirmed at best.After a season of
winging it on their own, learning what they can as the Lord gives it to them (or as they are
willing and able to receive it), many newcomers to this office eventually become persuaded that
either they do not need a human handprint on their prophetics to be valid, or that their
one-on-one interaction with the Lord made then ready to serve and advanced them faster than
other ministers. These two suppositions can ignite a naïve pride in novices that stumbles them
later as far too many conclude that what put them in their ministry is too vague and improvable
to be verified or defined by human methods or tools. Such messengers are convinced that
affirming prophets can only be done by supranormal means. They feel the standards and
procedures used by other vocations or careers are too worldly to be trusted. Prophets, they
believe, are to be verified only by the prophets themselves, and maybe an admired
predecessor. Now, we can debate the source of this misconception and blame this or that
theology or doctrine for years, but in the end, it is just wiser to simply say ?the Lord is doing a new
thing?and get on with it. Meaning by this, that the Lord is now structuring His prophetic callings so
that those He calls can be concretely confirmed in their ministry and properly placed. Another reason
is so that His established leaders can better help develop new prophets by taking a more active role
in verifying, confirming, and equipping those claiming a call to the ministry. We can all respectfully say
God?s initiatives are long overdue considering the havoc some prophets have wreaked on His body in
the past.
For God to initiate His new processes and procedures and their safeguards, He has to standardize,
uniform, and solidify the full range of the office?s essential duties and responsibilities. In view of how
His prophets were introduced to and engaged in His service up to now, the effects of His actions can
be shocking to most prophets. I have seen many of them stunted in their growth and ministries just
because they either cannot submit to the change, or have no one to help them successfully make the
transition. To find your prophetic place, you need more than a prophecy or a lofty spiritual encounter
that alerts you to a call to the ministry. While both may serve as great catalysts for you, the truth is
that they are only announcements. After that, what do you do when the service is over and the
prophet or the presbytery is gone? I have found that what most people do is call around or roam
from place to place to find someone to elaborate on the word they received so they can act on it. Or
worse yet, many of them just launch their ministries as they see fit only to be disappointed when the
masses marks them as a noviceand refuse to acknowledge them in their midst. Here is where it gets
frustrating. Look at it this way.

Polit ics and t he Pandem ics
Jonathan Rothwell
Nonresident Senior Fellow

State University
The pandemic, which could conceivably have brought the country together, has instead contributed to
our growing political divides. Partisan affiliation is often the strongest single predictor of behavior and
attitudes about COVID-19, even more powerful than local infection rates or demographic
characteristics, such as age and health status, as we show in our new paper, The Real Cost of Political
Polarization: Evidence from the COVID-19 Pandemic. Accordingly, a state?s partisan orientation also
explains its public health policies, including the timing and duration of stay-at-home orders, bans on
social gathering, and mask mandates.
In the paper, we analyze survey responses from just under 50,000 U.S. adults surveyed repeatedly by
Gallup from March through August, as well as publicly available policy and political data from a variety
of sources.
The implications are unfortunate. Ideally, public health policy would be driven by theory and evidence,
not the relative power of partisans. State leaders have missed opportunities to adopt mask
ordinances, limit gatherings in the most dangerous indoor spaces, and allow businesses to operate
safely. Bad COVID policy, distorted by partisanship, has cost lives and jobs, as our work shows.
Polarization of individual attitudes and behaviors
When the pandemic started, two of the most popular news programs? both on Fox? covered it very
differently. Tucker Carlson emphasized the disease?s severity while Sean Hannity downplayed it,
according to striking research from Leonardo Bursztyn and his co-authors. In survey data, they find
that Hannity?s viewers waited longer before significantly changing their behavior compared to Carlson
viewers, who were otherwise demographically similar. More Hannity viewers predicted more infections
at the county level. The ?Hannity Effect? illustrates a much larger pattern: Access to information is
heavily distorted by our media diet, and that has real consequences for attitudes and behavior.
Using Gallup data, we document large and persistent partisan gaps in levels of fear over COVID-19,
social distancing, mask wearing, visiting work, and the scope of expected economic and social
distribution (Figure 1). We also show that political party support is usually the most important variable
in explaining these attitudes and behaviors, dominating county-level infections and other
demographic variables.
Politics shapes COVID views
Notably, these gaps in attitudes and behaviors persisted even after the disease burden shifted from being
disproportionately high in counties won by Hillary Clinton in 2016 in the spring to counties won by President
Trump over the summer. For example, New York City and the surrounding metropolitan area were especially
hard-hit in April, with roughly 20% of the population eventually becoming infected, according to CDC
estimates of antibody prevalence. Yet, over the summer, deaths per capita were higher in states like Florida and
11
Texas, while plummeting in the Northeast.

Finding Your Prophetic Place Dr. Paula Price
A five to thirty second prophecy that alerts you to a prophetic call, or any calling for that
matter, is not enough for you to grasp how to fulfill it. If you rely on this alone, you will end up
equipping yourself only on what you feel inside? what yousensethe Spirit leading you to do.
How accurate that is can take weeks, months, or years for you to find out. With the prophet
and the apostle being the only two offices that you cannot enroll in a traditional or
established educational program to prepare for, you are pretty much on your own. You must
investigate the church or private classes (notice I said classes and not courses) that are
available on your subject independently. Each one can vary extensively from class to class
with some being gift-driven and others a hodgepodge of spiritual doctrines and practices. For
you to decide which one you should take for what you are called to do is a matter of trial and
error. So how do you do it
To choose the best prophetic readiness program for you, you need a trustworthy list of subject
matter, topics, and other related curriculum information to tell you what makes for a credible and
useful prophetic education program. Without that, you have nothing to compare your possibilities
with before choosing one. If you are like most newcomers to this office, you probably do not have
access to such a resource since prophetic education is still so privatistic, and very little of it mature
enough to be considered specialized. Besides all this, today?s prophetic readiness and placement
choices can vary drastically from individual to individual, ministry to ministry, and prophet to
prophet. Do you see your obstacle here? You in your heart want to do it right and yet you cannot
seem to separate the right from the wrong without help. Left to your own devises, you are most
likely forced to equip yourself prophetically. What an overwhelming task. Moreover, because the
way prophets are inducted, trained, and used is erratic, finding one?s place in this calling is nearly
impossible as everyone does what is right in his or her own eyes. This scenario is what I hear
regularly when I meet people on this path. I, on the other hand, have invented a way to help you
streamline the process and hopefully perfect your search.
What I developed is a series of web-based standardized assessments to help prophets and all
five-folders, church ministers and workers, discover their calling and place in God's service.
My system locates your purpose and destiny as a minister of Jesus Christ. It customizes your
readiness program automatically, and tells you how long it will take to get where the Lord is
taking you in prophetic ministry. These assessments have been used for nearly five years with
more than 90% success so far, and that is a very conservative estimate. I invite you to be more
than mystical about your call to this office. I encourage you to be emphatic and not enigmatic.
It is your calling, your purpose, and your obedience to God. So be proactive. You do not have
to stay stuck in the old move?s way of discovering yourself prophetically.Leap into the
twenty-first century and know for sure through this objective tool that you are a prophet,
what kind of prophet you are called to be, and the best place for you to answer God's call to
prophetic ministry. Your pre-appointed sphere and particular people group are just as
important to your success as your actual donning of the prophet?s mantle. Don?t settle for just
discovering your mantle; know your place, your authority, and your measure of rule.Find out
what makes you ready to stand before the Lord as ?a workman that needeth not be
ashamed.?-

St aying Safe During Corona
Today, CDC issued updated guidance to itsHow COVID-19 Spreadswebsite, which includes information about
the potential for airborne spread of the virus that causes COVID-19.
CDC continues to believe, based on current science, that people are more likely to become infected the
longer and closer they are to a person with COVID-19. Today?s update acknowledges the existence of some
published reports showing limited, uncommon circumstances where people with COVID-19 infected others
who were more than 6 feet away or shortly after the COVID-19-positive person left an area. In these
instances, transmission occurred in poorly ventilated and enclosed spaces that often involved activities that
caused heavier breathing, like singing or exercise. Such environments and activities may contribute to the
buildup of virus-carrying particles.
CDC?s recommendations remain the same based on existing science and after a thorough technical review of
the guidance.
People can protect themselves from the virus that causes COVID-19 by staying at least 6 feet away from
others, wearing a mask that covers their nose and mouth, washing their hands frequently, cleaning touched
surfaces often and staying home when sick.

Polit ics and t he Pandem ics
The polarization of policies
The individual attitudes of partisans seems to have affected policy in
important ways. Throughout the pandemic, people living in states won by
Hillary Clinton have been far more likely to live under mask mandates for
workers or individuals, stay-at-home-orders, or limitations on social
gatherings (Figure 2). These differences can?t be explained by any clear
differences in the disease burden or risks across states, since the gaps
persist after we controlled for these factors.
Stay-at-home-orders and mask-mandates slowed the spread of the virus,
significantly curtailing deaths, according to our analysis.
The economic consequences of pandemic politics
The downplaying of COVID, as well as opposition to mask-wearing and
other precautions have had real consequences for health and safety. But
the polarization of the pandemic has had another unfortunate side effect:
Exacerbating economic harm.
We found no evidence that closing all non-essential businesses, for
example, reduced the growth in deaths, and yet these policies predict
worse economic outcomes, measured in several ways. A growing number
ofeconomistsand policyexpertsare starting to question the wisdom of
stay-at-home-orders and other extreme measures. In the context of greater
access to testing and a better understanding of transmission than we had
in March, mask-mandates, social-distancing, and cleaning guidelines seem
to work rather well at containing the virus at low levels, until there is a
vaccine. This explains how the Northeast has been able to re-open with
precautions, without seeing an increase in deaths or an increase in the
positive testing rate.
19

Polit ics and t he Pandem ics
Yet, in Democratic areas, there is still considerable pressure to keep
organizations and businesses closed, especially schools, and we?ve even
seen recent calls to shut down the entire economy once again. These ideas
strike us as unfortunate reactions based on distrust of the President,
rather than proposals grounded in evidence. As one of us has noted
through Gallup?s partnership with Franklin-Templeton to study COVID,
Democrats are more likely than Republicans to overstate the risks of
death to young people, whereas Republicans are more likely to mistakenly
believe that the flu is more deadly than COVID, as Zacc Ritter of Gallup has
documented.
Whatever the public health merits, we find that lockdown policies and
business closures do real damage to the economy that goes beyond the
actual effects predicted by infections or deaths at the county level. Across
a range of economic outcomes? employment, retail visits, work visits,
small business revenue, and consumer spending? Republican states have
performed better during the pandemic. Currently, the unemployment rate
implied by Department of Labor unemployment insurance claims stands
at 6.7% in Republicans states, compared to 11.3% in Democratic states
Mask-mandates seem to lower death rates as effectively as stay-at-home
orders, with much less damage to economic activity. With less partisan
media and leadership, we believe mask policies and similar interventions
would become universally adopted by state and local governments, with
high rates of compliance from the public, saving lives and jobs.
The insidious reach of polarization
When Donald Trump debated his Republican primary rivals in 2016, he
never mentioned public health. Likewise, these issues were absent from
Hillary Clinton?s campaign.
18
20

Polit ics and t he Pandem ics
It would be fair to say that pandemic preparedness and response was
not a hot political topic. To give one example, since President George W.
Bush started it, PEPFAR (The President?s Emergency Plan For AIDS Relief)
has embodied a major bipartisan commitment to public health, though
not entirely without political controversy.
A some point, the pandemic and associated media coverage became yet
another deeply divisive political issue ? a board for politicians to score
points on, rather than a challenge for the nation to rise to. Speeches,
tweets, and news coverage became dedicated to giving or taking away
points. In an alternative universe, leaders from both parties might have
set aside their usual differences, united behind a national strategy, and
held each other accountable to implementing it. Tragedy heaped upon
tragedy.

The Dance of Love of Child Caregiver
Constance Kizzie-Gillett
The Dance of Love
Lillie?s Care Circle a 501© (3) a
Tax-exempt organization was birthed out of
my personal sadness, fear and
desperation. I felt that my life was coming
to an end I actually felt that I was hanging
on by a thread and the thread was getting
thinner and thinner by the hour not by the
day but the hour. My mother Lillie, who was my best friend had
been diagnosed with Alzheimer?s disease in 2008. My mother and I
had always been very close to each other and we loved each
other immensely. My mother and I had never been separated for a
long period of time. We lived together until I got married. Even
then we visited each other and spent days together. After my
mother?s second divorce we both went to professional counseling
for some time. The counselor said my mother was a child when I
needed one and I was an adult when she needed one. That is why
I called our relationship a ?Dance of Love? we knew what each
other needed and somehow, we were able to fulfill those needs. .
Whenever you are ?Dancing the Dance of Love? with a parent/child
it intertwines like Siamese twins. When the dance is over and
one person dies the surviving person has to learn to live and
function as one person. In the light of my mother?s diagnosis I had
to rely on what I knew about mom, what her likes and dislikes
were and her personality traits. Uniquely, I knew I had to

focus on our non-verbal communication skills that we had developed
over the years. By doing those things I was able to keep mom safe
and happy. In some instances, I think the elderly and the sick are
underestimated, undervalued and marginalized.
n the month of October my mom was struggling with her speech and
some memory decline. I was struggling with my mother?s illness. As
well as struggling with sadness, fear and I do believe depression.
Connie's story of becoming and care-giver for her mother will continue
in our next issue of iMAG Magazine. We thank Connie for sharing her
story with us and our readers. We believe story is an important as we
know that many are dealing with this same plight. More from Connie
