I will probably tell you a lot you already know – A great wise man once said “Be doers of the word, not hearers only, otherwise you deceive yourself.” – James 1:22 ... even I don't do what I know at times!
Your mind and body is ALWAYS a reflection of your spirit realm or thought realm. “For as a man thinks in his heart, so is he.” – Proverbs 23:7
Ignorance (a lack of knowledge or understanding) leads to worry and doubt, which leads to fear, which leads to depression, lack, poverty in every area of ones life, sickness, even death.
All depression and hopelessness come from the mind being in chaos or lack of order. For example, chaos in our financial thoughts leads to financial lack; chaos in our in our health thoughts lead to disease and sickness; chaos in our vision leads to depression. This may seem logical and simple, but if only the world would grasp it with understanding!
To change our results from lack to abundance, we must first create order in our mind. This was God’s first act of creation: To create order on this formless void planet. (Genesis 1:2)
The Apostle Paul said in Romans that you have to renew you mind. "Do not be conformed to this world, fashioned after and adapted to its external, superficial customs, but be transformed (changed) by the entire renewal of your mind, by its new ideas and its new attitude, so that you may prove for yourself what is the perfect, acceptable and good will of God, even the thing which is good and acceptable and perfect in His sight for you." - Romans 12:2
What Paul was saying is don’t be like the world around you, your present circumstances and environment; but rather change what you think about and focus on, create your perfect life with your God given gift of imagination and hold that image with your will until your mind is renewed, just like God did when He created this world.
"Where there is no vision, the people perish." - Proverbs 29:18. No wonder we life in a generation of frustrated people, most have no vision for their life, or at best a confused or negative vision.
The way we feel and act is always according to our subconscious images, whether we know, understand or believe it or not. Therefore our results in every area of our lives are because of our thoughts! And because we can control our thoughts we are also responsible for our results.
All creation waits for our thoughts so it can evolve at a faster pace - yet it cannot go backwards. So if we continually look backwards at our past results or even at our present results the world around us continues to move forward but we get 'stuck' or cannot move forward.
“All creation waits with eager longing for its revealing though the sons of God.” – Romans 8:19. How exciting – that creation itself is waiting for us, for what God has to reveal through us. Most people though are still looking backwards in pain or forward in fear rather than in excited expectation of revelation now.
It is very easy to tell where a person is by what they speak out. We always speak what we believe. While people continue to speak out their lack, poverty, sickness or being stuck, they will remain there!
The answer is simple: "If you believe in your heart and confess with your mouth you will be saved." That is not just some Christian belief for eternal salvation ... it is a universal law, God's law of creation from the beginning of time, it's the gift all human's where given so that they can create "heaven on earth". Jesus tried to teach the world of this basic fact, yet most will deny Him and continue to live hell on earth because they do not listen. He said, "They have ears but do not hear." - The kingdom is within you!!
Why am I telling you this?
Let me put it another way:
1. VISION - you MUST have a clear vision of how you want your life to be. This is where most people miss it. Without a vision you WILL perish, you will never achieve your dreams & goals. Get REALLY clear on every aspect of your life; write it out in present tense and in vivid detail. Write and Speak only in terms of your new life.
2. PURPOSE - Why do you want it? How does your new life feel? Who is proud of you?
3. FAITH - Knowing that it is already yours! "When you pray, pray believing that it already is yours, and it WILL be yours." - Mark 11:24 Again, never speak about what you don't want or complain about you 'lot in life' - ONLY speak about what is yours to come but as if you already have it!
4. GRATITUDE - Gratitude moves us closer to the source. Give ALL the glory to God as He gives all things to you, even your very breath. James said even be grateful for your challenges because mixed with faith it creates in us endurance and patience! (James 1:2-4) Speaking gratitude always increases our faith - if ever you find yourself lacking faith speak out loud what you are grateful for, especially your new life.
5. ACTION - You have probably heard it before ... Faith without works is dead! Many people watch The Secret and then think all they have to do is sit at the kitchen table and hum, or buy a lotto ticket and they will be blessed with truckloads of money. It ain't gunna happen!! We must ‘ACT in accordance to our Faith.’ Jesus said "I only do what my father does."
What did His father do?
God looked at a world that was without form and void, and darkness we upon the face of the earth ... and He complained and said "Boy, its dark down there. What a mess. I'm stuck and that place is hopeless ... that place is still dark and void what is going on ... how come my life is always like this ... if only someone would help me fix it ... I'm going to quit ... Boy it'd dark down there!!!!!" No ... God said "Let there be light ... and there was light." - Genesis 1:3
You have the POWER of God in you, as a believer you can turn darkness into light ... you can speak truth and light to the darkness. Whatever mountain you are facing right now speak the truth to it. If you are not closing deals or getting more clients, if you don’t have a happy fulfilled relationship, if your bank account looks really sick ... don't tell anyone - just speak the truth you desire. If you are struggling financially, don't EVER speak about your poverty and lack, only speak about the wealth that is coming to you. If your relationship is not exactly how want it, speak exactly how it must be.
Jesus said "Be healed" and sickness departed! We must do what our Father does!
1. The first step is you create your new life ... use your imagination like you have never used it before; create a life of health, abundance and prosperity with no thought of how it is going to happen or fear that you can’t. Write down exactly how you want your new life in every aspect and detail. Be precise - don't just write I want more money or more clients, what exactly do you want?
2. Re-write your new life out EVERY day and put emotion in it ... this is the WHY or the purpose. Continue this every day for 28 days.
3. Speak out loud your new life with gratitude, knowing that it is done. Only ask for it once and from then on be grateful for having received it.
4. Take whatever actions you can at the present time towards receiving your new life - the most efficient action you can do each day is hold the image of your new life on the screen of your mind while continually giving praise and glory to God.
IT IS DONE.
Much love and many blessings,

Change Your Life ...

Is Your Life An Example Or A Warning
Often times we have no idea of who we affect and how we affect them. Our life is either an example or a warning and we get to choose which.
I was reminded of the destructive nature of negative thoughts this weekend. The same people who live their lives to pull others down are living sad, twisted and destructive lives - most are divorced at least once or cannot have a loving fulfilled relationship that lasts, their children hate them and won't talk to them and they struggle constantly with lack in many areas of their lives.
These same people never seem to be able to put two and two together and come to the realisation themselves that while they seek to hurt or destroy another human being they really destroy themselves. You don't know what a negative comment or lie or a hurtful post on a blog, FaceBook or Twitter can cause.
We have witnessed 4 teenage suicides in 18 months at one local school because of cyber-bullying. Someone's hurtful comments took the life of another human being. That is murder. The bible tells us if you hate your fellow man you are a murderer (hate means not to love or edify!) 1 John 3:15. You would have to be a callous heartless person not to feel some remorse or sadness or sense of loss knowing a beautiful 14 year old girl in the beginning of her life has taken their life because of someone's hurtful comments.
Yet thousands of adults hide behind 'anonymous' and post some of the most disgusting, hurtful, pathetic attacks of other people online, often without even knowing them personally - they would never have the guts to do it to the persons face yet they think its tough and its smart to hide behind the curtain of the internet and abuse others. If that is you, you are a murderer. The law may not be able to sentence you but your own spirit does - the emotions that you give out become you and you will lose everything. This is why Napoleon Hill said so strongly to avoid the seven negative emotions at all costs (fear, anger, hatred, revenge, jealously, superstition, and greed)
I look at these people in pity - I understand why Jesus said "Father forgive them for they know not what they do." Look at these people as a warning, never react to them and never participate in their self-destructive ignorant acts.
On the other hand we have the opportunity to touch and affect people in amazing ways and at the same time experience joy beyond comprehension. Touch people in ways that build them up and change the course of their lives. I am reminded of Ephesians 4:29 (KJV) "Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers."
Another translation says, "Don't say anything that would hurt another person. Instead, speak only what is good so that you can give help wherever it is needed. That way, what you say will help those who hear you." It goes on to say "Get rid of your bitterness, hot tempers, anger, loud quarrelling, cursing, and hatred. Be kind to each other, sympathetic, forgiving each other as God has forgiven you through Christ."
Do you know that most people at the end of a day cannot tell you one person they have edified or built up with their words. Sad isn't it. Not only sad but self-destructive. Our words can kill another human being or our words can give them life.
A few years ago a man in his early 50's came up to me at the end of a 3-hour stock market seminar and he said, "You may not remember me but you saved my life." I was quite shocked as I didn't recognise the man. He proceeded to tell me his story of how he was out of work and couldn't get a job for 5 years, and that he felt like a hopeless failure. He had written his suicide note to his wife and family and prepared to die ... he had given up.
Just then he got an invite to attend my stock market course and he thought "Why not, I'm not going to be here for much longer anyway." At that seminar I shared my story and shared hope and vision and my excitement for what anyone could do with the stock market. He went home and decided not to kill himself the next day as planned, but rather attend my 6-week stock market course. He went on to learn how to make money from home and got a whole new meaning to life. That was three years prior. His wife and children are forever grateful. I had a big lump in my throat.
I received an email the other day when I was facing some symptoms of sickness. It was from a lady in Canada. She simply said, "David you don't know of all the people you have helped. I'm still here because of you being on The Secret."
I saw a post on twitter this morning with a link. I followed it and again I was touched and humbled. You might want to read it to: http://bit.ly/o9wKQ
I am so grateful for the place God has given me, to be able to touch people's lives around the world for the better and to think of those who I have built up, even given life and hope.
We all have the choice to be an example or a warning ... choose today to only build up other people, choose only to post stuff on the internet that will make the other person smile, choose to ignore every hurtful comment and return only love. When we do that lives get saved, people get a new hope and they feel as if their life is worth living, just because of you.
You don't know who you will touch.
