....speak of those 'things' that be not as if 'they' were.....The Bible

In this scripture, in the bible, the wisdom that is given has often been misconstrued by many teachers, preachers, interpreters and general laymen. When reading this verse many derive that it is telling you to 'speak' ~ give your focus ~ your attention ~ your energy to those 'things' that be NOT, but in all actuality what it is instructing you to do is speak the 'opposite' of the condition you are currently experiencing. By focusing on what you want is the ONLY way to bring 'that' into your life! You do not focus on what you DO NOT want because that is exactly what will come back to you. You also DO NOT speak of what you do not want in your life because there is power in the tongue. The bible states: "Out of the heart the mouth speaketh." & "Out of the heart come the issues of life." So what you think & speak are very important. 'You reap what you sow' and your thoughts & words ARE seeds. 'As a man thinketh so HE IS.' There is also a scripture in the bible that states; God rains on the just and the unjust. What that means to me is whatever I send out into the Universe ~ to God ~ negative (unjust) or positive (just) is what rains down on my head and into my life. So, everday I make two lists in my journal ~ the 1st one states everything I am grateful for and the 2nd one states EVERYTHING I want to attract into my life. Another verse in the bible in Habakkuk 2:2 states: "Then the Lord replied: Write the vision down and make it plan." I not only write the vision down but I also have a vision board in my office that I have placed my current goals, the things I want to attract into my life, so I can visually see the direction I want my life headed. I know I have shared on many occasions my belief and ritual of keeping a gratitude journal & vision board and most people read the words but do not take them to heart, but those fearless souls that have, are living the life of their dreams and accomplishing things that at one time, in their life, seemed impossible and all of these fires started from ONE spark ~ FAITH ~ for if you have it you can say to this mountain move from here to there and it will be done! Some of you might say, 'How do I get faith?' and I say, 'You practice gratitude!' What? You become grateful for what you have and then write down "I am grateful now that......." and you start seeing your dreams manifest & it truly builds your faith. You begin to 'think' anything is possible & guess what ~ YOU ARE RIGHT! We become what we meditate on everyday. So there you go..........I can only hope! Namaste', God Bless YOU, & Shalom, Aleece
