Spoiler alert I'm going to tell you the
secret of the Book Think And Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill. Every person
mentioned in the book KNEW that they were going to have what they
desired.
Growing up in the Church I use to get
so frustrated when I hear people talk about faith because people made
it seem so simple to do and yet I always see people including myself
struggle to have faith. I would many times hear people say “We all
struggle with our faith” and just leave it at that like that's just
the way it is. I would ask people who I thought was full of wisdom
how do you have faith and their answer was “Just believe” or
“just trust in God”. I trusted no one growing up and trust very
few people now so how was I to learn to trust God whom I have not
seen? I would say great I believe that I can have what I desire but
it's not happening. I guess God don't want me to have what I desire. Looking back and thinking of Aesop's Fables That thought of God not
wanting me to have what I desire was my biggest downfall and it just
might be yours.
Even worse I would hear people say “God
don't always give you the desires of your heart” like God doesn't
want too. What I learned is that God is always willing to give us
what we need and desire IF we stay connected to Him, stay connected
to the source. Keep in mind God wants what is best for us. We become
disconnected when we are filled with anxiety, worry, doubt, fear,
selfishness, self-centeredness, greed and lack of faith just to name
a few. It's not God that don't give us the desires of our heart, it's
that we block Him from doing so. Many people don't want to believe
that we can block The Almighty God from doing anything but consider
this; Matthew 13;58 And He did not do many miracles there because of
their lack of faith. If God is within you can He do miracles in you
or will your lack of faith keep Him from doing anything? God wants to
bless you. I have learned that God can do all things for us but only
as far as our faith will let Him. He can only do what we believe.
What does it mean to have faith? It
means to trust, speak words of faith, let go, don't try to figure it
all out or make things happen, let God lead the way, don't put a time
limit on what you want to receive or if you do have a relaxed
mindset, relax and have a sense of relief. You know that you are in
that sweet spot of faith when you have a sense of relief and calm. I
wish someone would have told me that when I was a growing up.
I have learned that people will only
teach you their level of faith. I have not heard anyone say I want
your faith to be stronger than mine. Has anyone said that to you? If
they don't believe that anyone can be miraculously healed they will
tell you that you can't be miraculously healed like it is a fact. If
people don't believe that God will do ALL things for you trust me
they will let you know that God will not give you a new car or a
million dollars and make it sound like a fact or give you a thousand
rules about faith to discourage you from even asking for what you
want all. The purpose of this article is to give you every reason to
ask God for whatever you need and desire. There is no such thing as
too much faith. I want you to have greater faith than me. Other
people's lack of faith does not have to be yours.
Be bold. Stand out of the crowd like
the woman with the issue of blood who touched Jesus and was instantly
healed Luke 8;43- 48. Jesus said “Daughter, your faith has healed
you. Go in peace. Amaze God with your faith like the centurion
soldier Luke 7;1-10 Jesus said, “I tell you, I have not found such
great faith even in Israel”. Will you amaze God with your faith?
These two people knew what they knew and no one could tell them
otherwise. They did not get permission to have that type of faith.
When you have that full faith nothing
will shake you. Faith doesn't believe in what it sees. It only
believes in the unseen. It also believes in what it knows. My husband
made a striking statement to me one day that I will never forget. He
was telling me that he has faith in God but he doesn't always get
what he ask for from God. He said, “I only got what I knew I could
have”. My eyes grew so wide and I was so amazed by what he said.
His argument was that we don't always get what we want but he said,
“I only got what I knew I could have”. That is a huuuge key right
there and he was absolutely right. We only get what we know we can
have.
Think about it for a moment everything
you knew you could have without a shadow of a doubt you got it. That
is how my life has always been. That is how I got all the things that
I wanted in my life and I also knew that I could keep my eyesight
even when the doctors told me that I am going blind. I can STILL see
^_^ This is the key to success. Don't just want what you want, know
that you can have it just like everything else you received in your
life and never stop trusting that God will do what he said He will do
IF you believe He will. The most successful people believe in a
higher power and how you build your faith is through study. How do
know what God has promised you if you haven't studied His word? God's
word is faith food. Because ALL things come through Him knowing Him
will make a walk through this life a whole lot easier if you believe
it will.
