Jesus and the Law of Attraction

In 2006 a movie and then a book titled “The Secret” was released teaching the Law of Attraction. I was very excited about its release. For I have been using the Law of Attraction after reading Napoleon Hill’s book, “Think and Grow Rich” back in 1986.

Hill calls it a “magnetic force” when thoughts become things. He said, when you mix your dominate thoughts with feelings of emotion then you will attract the equivalent.

Jesus taugtht the beginning priciples of the Law of Attraction. But His teachings were limited to the understanding of the people of that day in time. The world did not understand the science of magneitc force or the Law of Attraction. Jesus simply said, "Ask" with the expectation to receive.

Jesus said, “Ask and you shall receive that your joy may be full." He then went to say, "These things I speak to you in parables.” John 16:24-25

Jesus also said, “What things you desire when you pray, believe that you have received them, and you shall have them.” Mark 11:24

So, what would Jesus say about the movie "The Secret?" I think Jesus said made it clear when He said, “Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His Righteousness and all these things will be added to you.” Matt. 6:33

Wisdom would teach you to seek God first for He knows what you want before you do.

You can use the Law of Attraction to grant your every wish just like a genie. But be careful what you wish for. You may get it and find out it is not what your truly wanted.

It was my desire to become a real estate investor so I attracted over a million dollars of real estate into my life. The problem was I could not hold on to it….I did not realize the responsibility that came with that desire. In time I lost it all.

I am not saying that God did not want me to have those properties but now was not the time. I was not ready. Maybe in the future I will use this experience and knowledge to once again attract real estate back into my life.

I have found it is important to pay close attentions to my desires. It is through my relationship with God that I align my thoughts with God seeking to fulfill my agreement, my purpose or mission here on earth. My ego would rather I attract it's own wants and desires.

God wants to bless you with His abundance. Read Proverbs 8:19-21 “My reward is better than gold….it is better than choice silver… I lead in the way of righteousness…that I may cause those that love me to inherit substance and I will fill their treasures.”

When you align yourself with the purposes of God you will attract the blessings of God. For He will reveal to you your hidden desires, the desires you created before you came into the world.
