Ask, Believe, Received and Give Thanks

ASK, BELIEVE, RECEIVE AND GIVE THANKS

Human beings were created to dream dreams without end and be able to realize those dreams. Life without dreams is an empty shell discarded on the shore of greatness.

God created humans in His image; which means that He gave us the same abilities He has. The Lord is the Universe and the Universe is the Lord and since we were made in God’s image, we are one with the Universe. Time has no meaning to the Lord. An hour to us is merely an instant, a fraction of a moment to God. We are aware of time passing because we are bound to Earth. In God’s realm everything happens at the same time. There is no past, no present and no future. That is how the Universe functions. The Universe does not distinguish between yesterday, today and tomorrow. The Universe does not know the difference between good and bad.

We know what is good or bad for us because of how we feel. If we feel good or happy when we think about something, then that is good; if we feel bad or worried about a thought, then that thought is bad for us.

The Universe reacts exactly to the way we think. It gives us exactly what we ask. It is like the genie in the lamp, it says: “Your wish is my command!” So, whatever you wish, you will receive. If you have constant thoughts of worry, fear, unhappiness, you will receive more of it. If your thoughts are of abundance, success, prosperity, joy and happiness, that is what you will get and more. It is up to you to make the right wishes for you and those around you and to make those wishes with love and gratitude while believing you have received them.

The reason I mention this, is so you understand that being made in God’s image, being part of God and being part of the Universe you too have infinite power, your Creator gave it to you when He made you. As long as you Ask, Visualize what you wish, Believe that it is already available to you, have Faith and are ready to Receive what you asked, anything you desire will manifest itself.

Your thoughts and feelings determine what and how you Ask, they control your Visions, they influence your Belief and Faith and affect your Receiving.

So, if your thoughts and feelings are positive that is what will manifest in your life, if your thoughts and feelings are negative in nature you will get exactly that and much more of the same.

Happiness, joy, contentment, love and gratitude are always the benefits you will reap from good and positive thoughts and feelings.

Sadness, despair, unhappiness, dejection, inadequacy, rejection, inaptitude, etc, are the direct results from bad, negative thoughts and feelings.

There is nothing in the Universe that you cannot do or accomplish; it all depends on your state of mind and your level of Faith. If you have a dream, and you can see it clearly in your mind, ask the Universe for it. Then believe wholeheartedly that you have received what you asked for. Give thanks for receiving your request and nothing, but absolutely nothing in this world and in the Universe can or will prevent you from getting it.

You ask for it, you pray for it, you believe you have received it and it will be so. God said, ask and you shall receive, believe that you have received whatever you desire, now, and everything will happen as you wish. In the book of Matthew 7:7-8 Christ Jesus says: “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.” In Matthew 21:21-22 when the apostles were amazed after Christ withered the fig tree, Jesus said, “I tell you the truth, if you have faith and do not doubt, not only can you do what was done to the fig tree, but also you can say to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,' and it will be done. If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer.”

The actualization and materialization of your dreams lie squarely within you. It is entirely up to you. Your attitude, your thoughts and feelings will determine whether or not your dreams will come to life and stay that way. So, ask, believe, receive and give thanks.
