Law of Vibration & Attraction

Quote of the day:

“This may surprise or even shock you, but you have the God-given power to make up and create in your mind whatever good you desire.”  Rev. Ike

 

Using the Law of Attraction is a 4-step process: seek, ask, believe and receive. Let’s go into detail on each aspect.

1. Seek: to try and get or find something especially something that is not physical (Camb. Dicti.) investigate, search, aspire, look around for, fish for, ransack for, ask, strive for, root out, probe and look for… in other wards, desire inspires seeking. What is your hearts desire?
2. Ask: to put a question to someone, or to request an answer from someone. Synonyms: inquire, interrogate, query, and question
3. Believe: Accept that (something) is true, especially without proof (Oxford Dic). To accept something as true, genuine, or real, to have a firm conviction as to the goodness, efficacy, or ability of something (M.Webstar dic). To have faith, be confident, think, be convinced, accept, conclude, affirm, be certain, feel sure, conceive and postulate
4. Receive: to get or be given something: acquire, collect, inherit, obtain, accommodate, greet with open arms, intussusception, secure, take possession of.

Let's look a little deeper...

1. Seeking

Seeking is the conscious  effort to get to God through the natural means (mental or physical) — to constantly set our minds toward God in all our desires, experiences; to direct our minds and hearts toward him through the means of his revelation that comes to us as we seek Him. 

Mat 6:33 "But first and most importantly seek (aim at, strive after) His kingdom and His righteousness [His way of doing and being right—the attitude and character of God], and all these things will be given to you also."

What or Who are you looking for? 

Amos 5:14: Seek (long for, require) good and not evil, that you may live;And so may the Lord God of hosts be with you, Just as you have said!

How do you seek?

Jere 29:13 Amp

Then [with a deep longing] you will seek Me and require Me [as a vital necessity] and [you will] find Me when you search for Me with all your heart.

Mat 7:7-8 "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 8For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.”

Can you see why your goal is coming to you?

2. Ask:

To put a question to someone, or to request an answer from someone. Synonyms: inquire, interrogate, query, and question.

Are you wishing or asking? Observe how a child asks, they have a sense of certainty they will receive. Why do we as adults wish more than ask? Who has poisoned our thinking?

Who are you asking? If you doubt the existence of God, can you really ask Him? If you don’t think or believe He loves and cares for you, can you really receive from Him? 

Isaiah 65:24: (ESV) Before they call I will answer; while they are yet speaking I will hear.

How do you ask? Examine your WHY

James 4:2-3 You are jealous and covet [what others have] and your desires go unfulfilled; [so] you become murderers. [To hate is to murder as far as your hearts are concerned.] You burn with envy and anger and are not able to obtain [the gratification, the contentment, and the happiness that you seek], so you fight and war. You do not have, because you do not ask.[Or] you do ask [God for them] and yet fail to receive, because you ask with wrong purpose and evil, selfish motives. Your intention is [when you get what you desire] to spend it in sensual pleasures.

 

James Allen in As a Man Thinketh said you can not travel within and stand still without. Question your motives as to why you are asking for what you desire. Is it your want or another persons want for you?

 

3. Believe:

To have a firm conviction as to the goodness, efficacy, or ability of something

What & in Whom do you believe?

Everyone believes something! Even the one who thinks s/he doesn't still does. Like in my previous podcast on prayer where we explored the nature of prayer and said everyone prays (click here to listen), the capacity to believe is inbuilt. The direction though is based on your choice.

Mark 9:23 Jesus said to him, “[You say to Me,] ‘If You can?’ All things are possible for the one who believes and trusts [in Me]!”

How do you believe?

Psalm 145:18 (Amp) The Lord is near to all who call on Him, to all who call on Him in truth (without guile).

Mark 11:23 I assure you and most solemnly say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be lifted up and thrown into the sea!’ and [a]does not doubt in his heart [in God’s unlimited power], but believes that what he says is going to take place, it will be done for him [in accordance with God’s will].

1 Thess. 5:18 Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

 

4. Receive:

To get or be given something: acquire, collect, inherit, obtain.

How do you receive?

This is a matter of examining your heart. Listen to the message on Attitude for better understanding. In Luke 17;11-19 we see the testimony of the 10 lepers who were healed BUT only the samaritan came back to say thank you. This was fascinating even to Jesus that he commented on it.

 

Psalm 37:4: Delight yourself in the Lord, and He will give you the desires and petitions of your heart.

Isiah 59:2: But your iniquities/wickedness have made a separation between you and your God, and your sins have hidden his face from you so that he does not hear.

Philip (Amp) 4:6: Do not be anxious or worried about anything, but in everything [every circumstance and situation] by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, continue to make your [specific] requests known to God.

Ps. 100:4-5: Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise! Give thanks to him; bless his name! For the Lord is good; his steadfast love endures forever, and his faithfulness to all generations.”

James 1:17: Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change.”

 

Gratitude amplifies your heart vibration and the attraction process if multiplied.

Through the mental faculty of imagination, create the images of your heart's desire coming your way and begin now to give thanks that it is here. While giving thanks to God, you need to provide service towards humans with a grateful servant heart.

Phil 4:8 

Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable— if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.
