God & Mind

INTRODUCTION

”Deep within man dwell those slumbering powers; powers that would astonish him, that he never dreamed of possessing; forces that would revolutionize his life if aroused and put into action.” Orison Swett Marden, an American writer in the early twentieth century.

The Bible tells us that we were made in the image of God. That is quite an amazing statement in itself, but additionally, our brains are the most powerful supercomputers on the face of the earth, and we can use them to connect with God. So why is it that mankind, in general, views humanity as extremely limited in our capabilities and we continue to lead ordinary lives? The statement, “After all, you’re only human,” encapsulates that pervasive thinking. The significant limitations of what we believe we are capable of are a result of thousands of years of accumulated belief, and it is exacerbated by the constant negative programming our brains receive every day. In reality, humans can do far more than we believe; however, to be successful in all aspects of life, we must connect with God and move past the generational beliefs and the negative programming that continue to hold us captive. These false beliefs result in fear and doubt deep within our minds.

Think about how amazing you could be if your internal fear and doubt were significantly reduced. Have you have ever met someone who is extremely confident in everything they do? You can almost see the confidence glowing in their face. They have somehow managed to bypass or ignore the negative programming. The amazing thing is, you can do it too, by using what I call the four cornerstones, to reprogram your mind to increase positive thoughts, decrease the negative ones, and reduce fear and doubt, leading to a successful and joyous life.

The first of the four cornerstones is to stay in constant contact with God, the almighty creator of the universe, which will awaken the spirit of God that is within you. The second is a basic philosophy of successful living that I call Believing Like Christ - having the pure faith of Christ. Jesus believed completely that God would provide whatever He asked from the Father and we should believe as He did. Believing as Jesus Christ did helps us to access the spirit of God that is within us and have complete and unwavering faith in what we can accomplish in our lives through the power of God. The third is the foundations that you build your life upon and how they affect you, and the fourth cornerstone is the toolbox that contains a variety of both active and passive tools specifically designed to reprogram your mind to reduce fear and doubt and add positive programming.

It is time to turn the page in the book of your life – to cease being held in bondage by fear and doubt, and to begin to be EXTRAORDINARY!
