Hi Musawenkosi

Wallace D Wattle mentions in his book “The Science Of Getting Rich” that to “think what you want to think is to think truth regardless of the appearances.”

People will often argue that their present reality is the truth; it’s not. Our present reality is a confluence of our past thoughts; a direct reflection of the mind that thinks those thoughts. Most people are only aware of their physical body and the physical world, and total ignorant of the spiritual realm and how it operates.

The Truth is you are made in the likeness and image of God; that abundance, prosperity, health and happiness are the normal and natural states of being. The appearance may be that a person is sick. If our physical body is sick we have been holding the corresponding thoughts, it we then hold ONLY thoughts of health and well-being the body must produce the corresponding from.

Poverty, lack, sickness and unhappiness are all appearances that the person first created in their mind. The truth is that every person can have abundance, prosperity, health and happiness. First they must create it in their mind.

Jesus said it this way, “When you pray, pray believing that you already have it, and it will be yours.” (Mark 11:24) The truth is to believe what we desire is ours and acting accordingly. Most people spend all their lives focusing on and speaking about what they don’t want and so they keep getting it.

“Know the truth and the truth will set you free.” (John 8:32)
