We are constantly treating everything in our lives by our thinking,
if we believe we are defeated, we are. We are asking for failure if we
believe in failure, we are treating for MORE failure, even though we are
praying, haltingly, for success. How can that be? no one wants to fail, so we pray but spend the rest of the day entertaining negative
fearful thoughts. “As a man thinks.” What we dwell on, spend
our time reflecting on, we manifest in our lives, Period. We will never
manifest peace, prosperity, health and happiness in our lives if we
continue to focus on strife, lack, sickness and sadness. All prayers are
heard, but when we ask not really believing, for any reason, the prayer
will be answered in the manner asked; our lack of faith rewarded. When
we feel even the slightest twinge of doubt, stop and treat the doubt
with prayer before praying further! We do not allow ourselves the
illusion that by pretending it is not there deals with it. So we pray
with all our heart and expect to receive, but we don’t limit God by
outlining in our mind how we think our prayers should be answered. When
outlining we stifle God’s will, were so fixed looking in one direction
we overlook anything that does not fit our imagined solution. Trust God’s unlimited vision and refuse to be limited by outlining.
Perhaps a visualization that has helped me will help you with the
demonstration: Indiana Jones is on the brink of finding the Holy Grail.
He has surmounted difficulties that were monumental to reach this point
but now finds he is looking at a chasm that appears impossible to cross.
He opens his father's book looking for inspiration and reads “Step out in
faith.” Closing his eyes, with fear and trepidation, he steps out into
space and discovers the bridge had always been there, he just couldn’t
see it. Faith is like that. Trust in God and refuse to entertain the
inner voice screaming: Are you nuts! There’s no frakking bridge!
