Be Unselfish and Doubtless
According to physical laws, nothing is generated from nothing; the total amount of energy in the whole universe never changes despite elapse of time. Then, where did the original energy in the universe at its establishment come?Scientists would answer that fluctuation of the vacuum space energy should have caused generation of the original universe. But we should think that spiritual energy in the spirit world turned to energy in the material world, generating time and space that have formed the universe.
So, we should simply admit that there is the spiritual world where various spirits live and some spirits came to the human brains to become our souls to generate our minds. Therefore, it is natural that when we physically die our souls with our minds leave our bodies to come back to the spirit world as spirits. In other words, there is no death for our minds, although our physical bodies die in this material world.
So, the Lord Jesus Christ said not to fear those who tried to kill our bodies but to fear the God who could kill our spirits in the spirt world. In this case, the death of our spirits in the spirit world is the second death that is ultimately decisive after which there is left nothing, meaning complete naught.
But, more importantly the spirit energy can work also in the material world as with in the spirit world. And, as the God used the spiritual energy in His creation of the material universe with His words, notion, and imaginative power, men could access and use the spiritual energy through their minds and souls. But, to use the spiritual energy, a man should be in specific states of his mind and soul. That is why men with supernatural power cannot explain why they can perform miracles; they should not clearly understand that they have used the spiritual power.
In praying to the God, a man is putting his mind in a specific state where his words may reach the God. But, to become able to use the spiritual energy, he must show his full trust in and worship to the God, forgetting his own desires. In this state of his mind, his prayer should reach the God. Prayer without desire expressed in the past tense should be necessary to have the prayer accepted by the God, according to a Japanese spirit researcher.
The researcher himself saw miracles happening around him while he forgot his desire in his prayer delivered in the past tense to Japanese deities. He saw spoons bent through power of the will, pearls and statuettes of Japanese deities appear in the air, his body float on an accidentally broken roof, etc. He heard voices of a Japanese deity, meaning that as he was so stubborn and ignorant about spiritual matters that the deity decided to show such insignificant spiritual work to the spirit researcher who had been a faithless scientist and great inventor.
Anyway, as the Lord Jesus Christ suggested, we have to be as unselfish and doubtless as little children so as to be able to use the spiritual energy.

Mark 7, King James Version
11 But ye say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, It is Corban, that is to say, a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; he shall be free.
12 And ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his mother;
13 Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.
14 And when he had called all the people unto him, he said unto them, Hearken unto me every one of you, and understand:
15 There is nothing from without a man, that entering into him can defile him: but the things which come out of him, those are they that defile the man.
16 If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.
