"NOW faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." Heb 11:1
Whether your'e thinking about yesterday, pondering the events of today, visualising your future in ten years time, or remembering an experience in your childhood, you are creating NOW, in this current moment.
The creative powerhouse within you, your heart or spirit, is always active in the present tense. It is always in the present time zone of "NOW".
I believe the reason why so many people's lives seem to never change much after the age of eighteen, is because their thoughts are generally on today and yesterday, most of their thought time is spent pondering the events of the current week and the weeks gone by, so there is a familiar theme to their lives.
The names and faces may change, but similar people and events keep coming into their lives, like walking through a revolving door. Things are constantly changing, they just keep changing to the same thing.
Your HEART or SPIRIT doesn't discern between what you do want and what you don't want. It doesn't discern between past, present or future. It doesn't discern between true or false, (whatever that is), realisitic or unrealistic. That is the job of your conscious thinking mind. Your HEART responds to THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS.
Now read this passage very carefully,
"Whosoever shall say unto this mountain, be though removed and be though cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his HEART but shall BELIEVE that those things which he says shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he says".
"Therefore what things soever you desire, when you pray, BELIEVE that you recieve them and you shall have them".
"And when your'e praying FORGIVE if you have anything against anybody; that your father which is in heaven may forgive you".
"But if you do not forgive, neither will your father in heaven forgive you". mark 11:23-26
Praying is THINKING WITH EMOTION
Remembering is THINKING WITH EMOTION
BELIEVING IS THINKING WITH EMOTION
This is how the human spirit creates.
Whatever you are experiencing or have experienced is of no relevence to your heart.
It is NOT responding to your experiences.
It is a creation machine and it IS responding to your THOUGHTS and FEELINGS
Your THOUGHTS and FEELINGS are taken as your desire, your command, and acted upon.
Don't fool your heart by remembering past failures and hurtful experiences.
Create an incredible future by rehearsing your past successes in great detail, generating a feeling of excitement and confidence !
Tell your heart that you are an outstanding achiever !
These thoughts and feelings of success and happiness are accepted as BELIEF, and taken as your command for the future.
WHAT YOU ARE THINKING AND FEELING NOW IS ALL THAT MATTERS
