The Possibilties of Abundance Pt. 2 (Re-post)

The truth is there is more than enough love, creative ideas, power, joy, happiness to go around...David said, "My cup runs over"...Paul talked about the concept of blessings coming back "good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over"...one of God's covenant names (a name by which He reveals a certain aspect of Himself) is 'El Shaddai', the God who is more than enough...the meaning of the name in Hebrew is actually closer to something like "the God who is just too much"...

All of this abundance begins to shine through a mind that is aware of its own infinite nature...there's enough for everyone...see it...believe it...in time it will inevitably show up for you...

Write your own script for your life...yes, God has a plan for you, and you should always submit to that first, but He also has empowered you to create your own world...as I said earlier, the ultimate act of creativity is that the Creator created creators...

When you see things you don't want, don't think about them, write about them, talk about them, push against them, or join groups that focus on the 'don't wants'... remove your attention from 'don't wants', and place them on 'do wants'...for example, if you're constantly praying for a financial miracle, or to get out of debt, in reality you're focusing your energy on lack and debt...that's why it's important to call those things which are not as though they are...you have to create a different reality and begin to energize that...

Jesus didn't focus on the apparent lack of food to feed the multitudes...instead, He asked the disciples, "What do we have?"...then he took what little the boy with the lunch had, and blessed it, and multiplied it...stop obsessing over what you don't have right now (or what you perceive that you don't have)...instead, be thankful for and bless what you do have...

We all know that His first miracle was turning the water into wine, but are you aware of how much He made?

Six stoneware water pots were there, used by the Jews for ritual washings. Each held twenty to thirty gallons. Jesus ordered the servants, "Fill the pots with water." And they filled them to the brim. (John 2:6, 7 - The Message)

We're talking possibly 180 gallons of wine, at the end of a party where people had already been drinking...if someone provided that much wine today at a party where people had already been drinking, one might say that they were irresponsible...certainly, Jesus wasn't being irresponsible...He was just showing that there's always more than enough...

Ask yourself, are your thoughts worthy of you? Are they fixated on what you don't have? If so - NOW is the time to change them...you can begin right where you are right now...repentance is a very powerful thing...just changing one little thought can make a world of difference...

Nothing matters but this moment, and the things on which you are focusing your attention.

There's always more than enough available to you...
