Everything is made up of energy, including thought. Thought
is energy vibrating at a particular frequency. This has been
proven in scientific laboratories. With proper instruments,
scientists can measure the frequency of thoughts, or brain
waves.
Thoughts are powerful forces of energy and can only come
from our own minds, and we should understand things do not
just happen accidentally. Everything that happens in our
lives happens for a reason. Since we are the only ones in
charge of our individual minds, we create the thoughts that
create the circumstances in our lives.
Most of what we are experiencing has been attracted by our
own thoughts, for the bible says, "As a man thinks, so is
he" (Proverbs 23:7). Since our thoughts create reality, we
create our reality. So making excuses and casting blame only
make us out to be the victim. There is absolutely no power
in playing the part of a victim.
I know it can be very difficult to change the pattern of
thinking we have engaged in for so long. But, It's only a
habit, and habits can be changed.
Instead of thinking thoughts of fear, dread, and worry,
think thoughts of peace, happiness, and positive
expectation. Easier said than done, I know. But, like I
said, negative thinking is only a habit - a bad one.
Job had engaged in negative thinking and attracted all kinds
of garbage into his life. He said, "For the thing which I
greatly feared is come upon me" (Job 3:25). You obviously
don't want the things you fear to come upon you. So, quit
sending out vibrations of fear! Make a decision that you
will only use your imagination for positive thoughts. Fear
and worry are only the mis-use of the imagination.
God has given us an awesome resource - our mind. Also, He
has given us free will to choose what we will do with our
minds. Use it responsibly! He said, "I set before you life
and death, blessing and cursing, therefore, choose life"
(Deut 30:19).
It really takes no more effort to think positive than it
does to think negative. Like I said, thinking negative is
just a habit. A habit you must break if you want to live an
abundant and prosperous life.
Whatever it takes to break the bad habit of negative
thinking we must do it. Maybe it will mean us having to
break off some negative relationships. Maybe it will mean us
having to turn off the television, or the radio. Understand
that our association is vital to our well-being. "Like
attracts like" and we must send out vibrations of thought at
the same frequency as the things we want.
Prosperity is simple. All we must do to attract the things
we desire is hold a mental picture of what we want as long
as possible and as often as possible. Feel that we already
have what we desire with certainty and we will see it become
manifested in our lives.
It sounds simple enough, and it really is simple. It's just
not all that easy! It's not easy because our old thinking
patterns are habits, and habits are not always easy to
change. It can be done though with practice and
determination.
In summary, our thoughts are vibrating energy and we create
what we want by focusing our thoughts on those things. Jesus
said in Mark 9:23, "According to your faith, be it done unto
you."
