Growing Prosperity - 3 Insights of What You See by Faith is What You Get in Abundance!


Growing prosperity needs to be in your vision before it can abound in your life. If you have subscribed to the saying "I'll believe it when I see it", then you are probably still waiting around for abundance to be physically manifest in your life.

The fact is: If you only believe the things that you can physically see and touch, then unfortunately you are lacking the faith needed to create a life of growing prosperity.

3 Insights of 'What You See By Faith Is What You Get In Abundance':

1. Real Vision to Prosper Through the Eyes of Faith

Looking back through time, we see that the prosperous individuals of real 'vision' subscribe to the overriding principle of "What you see by faith is what you get." What is the powerful difference here? These people understand that the images in their minds actually precede the images of the physically manifested objects.

Men and women of vision expect the images in their minds to come to pass in the physical world. Regardless of critics speaking contrary to their vision, they have faith in what is initially only visible in their mind's eye.

"Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." -- Hebrews 11:1

2. Prospering as Your Mind Prospers

The mind is a magnificent thing and allows us the creative power of thought. Understand that images are mental pictures made from our thoughts and we can choose to create whatever images we desire. We are the directors of our own life movie.

Our soul (mind) must embrace prosperity first. We must have the will and desire to prosper.

"Beloved, I wish above all things that you might prosper and be in health, even as your soul prospers." -- 3 John 2

Remember that we are a spirit; we have a soul (mind, will, and emotions), and live in a body. Our soul is the link that connects our spirit with our physical body. Our soul is our conscious mind that guides and directs our physical actions.

A prosperous soul will produce a prosperous image inside of us. If our soul is not prospering, we will have a bad image of failure, lack, defeat, or sickness.

Become aware of the truth that everything we do is preceded by an image. First we think and form an image; then we do the work that will see the image expressed in our material world.

3. Vision That Inspires Prosperous Action

As we program our mind with positive, prosperous images, it eventually inspires us to also speak and confess these things by faith. The power of confession helps deposit the beliefs into our subconscious (heart).

"As a man thinks in his heart, so is he." -- Proverbs 23:7

We become the image and beliefs we allow in our heart. Our subconscious (often referred to as our heart) acts on what it has been programmed, and goes to work to make it a reality. Why not program your heart and mind with powerful, prosperous images from the Word of God and let that become a reality in your life?

Bottom line: We control our innermost thoughts, and the images we allow are what we attract. The prosperous images we see in our mind are what we will ultimately get in our life.

May you catch a vision of the abundance of God and create a life of growing prosperity!

Inspirational Steps to Take to Live Abundantly! When One Door Closes, Keep the Faith - Be Inspired


Every now and then we all need a BOOST!

It really does not concern me if you are already think you have reached the pinnacle of "SUCCESS" (a very relative term), or just beginning your personal journey to growth, Self-Discovery and abundance.

We all need reassurance that we are truly on the RIGHT path.

So, as I was reading this great book last night, "Who Moved My Cheese" by Spencer Johnson, M.D., I came across this special excerpt at the beginning of the book. The excerpt is quoted from, "The Keys of Wisdom", by A.J. Cronin.

If you have not had the opportunity read this wonderful book, I suggest you take it. It is a relatively quick read, and I guarantee that you will get some great insight about life.

But, let us get back to the point.

I composed this article so you can experience what I did after reading this excerpt. This undoubtedly helped me put things into perspective. Therefore, it is my awesome pleasure to share this with you.

I know you'll be just as INSPIRED as I was after reading it.

HERE IT IS:

"Life is no straight and easy corridor along

which we travel free and unhampered,

but a maze of passages,

through which we must seek our way,

lost and confused, now and again

checked in a blind alley.

But always, if we have faith,

a door will open for us,

not perhaps one that we ourselves

would ever have thought of,

but one that will ultimately

prove good for us."

~ A. J. Cronin

Life may not always be what and how you want it to be.

As I always profess; you are EXACTLY where you need to be, at this EXACT moment in your life.

You may go through ups and downs, but is that not life? Learn the lesson where you are, apply it to your life, and "KEEP IT MOVING"! Be sure to have concrete faith on your journey of self-discovery and self-mastery, as you will encounter much.

Trust in yourself and just know that you know what you know.

Take action and step out on faith, which will serve as your foundation along your journey; the journey to open the door to unlimited ABUNDANCE and PROSPERITY!

Abundant Prosperity - What Kind of Faith Delivers the Goods?


Abundant prosperity requires living by the right kind of faith. It is through faith that we touch the very source of life. If we could measure a man's faith we could come very near to predicting accurately the measure of his success in life.

TWO KINDS OF FAITH

There is a specific kind of faith that will deliver the abundant goods for a prosperous life. The kind of faith required is heart faith.

BELIEVING WITH YOUR HEAD FAITH

First let's talk about the kind of faith that does NOT deliver the goods - head faith.

Chances are you've heard of this type of faith found in a man often referred to as 'Doubting Thomas'. Thomas did not believe the other disciples when they said they saw the Lord. Thomas only believes after he himself sees Jesus. Jesus says blessed are those that have NOT seen, and yet believed. (You can read this account in John chapter twenty of the Bible.)

The point is: head faith only believes what it can see and feel and is based on mental reasoning.

BELIEVING WITH YOUR HEART FAITH

Heart faith is what delivers the goods. Heart faith believes regardless of what it sees and in spite of circumstances.

No wonder Abraham is a primary example of someone whose faith was of the heart. In Romans chapter four it says Abraham believed in what was spoken even though he couldn't see it. He didn't consider the present situation in unbelief, but was strong in faith and fully persuaded.

What happens when you have real faith of the heart? Faith in your heart produces results.

By the way, it's no surprise that a lot of people struggle because they have doubt in their minds. But I want to point out that you can still get results even when you have some doubts in your mind.

Jesus says we can have what we Say if we do not doubt in our Heart. (Mark 11:23) And then Proverbs 3:5 tells us to trust the Lord with all our Heart, and lean not on our own understanding (thoughts and feelings).

The simple fact of the matter is this: True faith is of the heart and not the head. What is in the heart of our being is who we are and what we become.

"As a man thinks in his heart, so is he." -- Proverbs 23:7

Faith comes by hearing the Word of God. So take time to listen to the Word in the area you believe to receive.

Doesn't it make sense to harness this dynamic heart faith to produce abundant prosperity in your life? Now you can. And confessing and speaking the powerful phrases of The Word is one of the most effective ways to attract abundance.

May you live by heart faith and continue to experience growing prosperity!

How Faith Can Bring You Abundance and Prosperity


Just the word "faith" brings up strong feelings for us - especially depending on what our religious upbringing was like. Some embrace the idea of having faith, but for others faith has connotations of blind faith or belief without true understanding, perception, or discrimination.

Buddhist faith (saddha in Pali) is translated as "to place the heart upon, to have confidence in". This definition of faith is very different from blind faith. Blind faith connotes being told to have faith or having faith imposed on us. Saddha connotes faith coming from intuition, reason and experience.

Intuition is defined as instinctive knowing without the use of rational processes. An example of an intuitive experience is meeting someone and intuitively knowing the person is someone who can be trusted. When I became a Buddhist, I intuitively knew that Buddhism was what I had been looking for as a way to live a compassionate and kind life. As a result of practicing Buddhism, I have met many people who have become dear friends and I have had the opportunity to travel throughout Europe.

Reason means a rational motive for a belief or action. So, for example, after practicing Buddhist principles, I know that my life has changed for the better. I know that living an ethical lifestyle leads to happiness for myself and others. I have more patience and I am a kinder person. I am experiencing emotional prosperity.

Experience a particular instance of personally encountering or undergoing something. My experience with meditation has resulted in knowing that it is a helpful tool to become more aware of myself and others.

Having faith is related to having an open mind, an open heart, an openness to new experiences and people. Having faith can lead to abundance and prosperity. What are your experiences of faith?

Creating Prosperity and Abundance - Keeping the Faith


What It Takes To Create Prosperity and Abundance

Often, a higher level of living and creating prosperity and abundance involves putting more order and creativity into the daily activities of work and home. It includes living from the peace and joy of trusting Source. It means living the best life possible in the current financial situation. It takes faith, wisdom, and inventiveness to live a good life. Mastery of mind and emotions toward the practice of positive prosperous habits of living also takes planning and persistence.

How To Keep Your Faith Strong As You Are Creating Prosperity and Abundance

Inspirational reading, prayer, and meditation can help keep your faith strong. Practicing the Presence of Spirit in self and in your life will keep you aware of the Reality of a Higher Power working with you. Putting spiritual growth as the central focus of your life shifts your attention from the outer and limiting perception of "lack of abundance and prosperity".

Cultivating discipline and exercising your will can help you put order into your daily habits and with steady and strong routine you will find your faith increasing. Even throwing out junk and giving away long-unused items that clutter up your home establishes a new sense of order and reflects your new values of better quality living.

Straightening up and putting what we do have to the best possible use shows our subconscious mind we are serious about living at a higher level, thereby activating and exercising our muscle of faith. Utilizing and enjoying the best you have, such as using your best clothes and dishes, will be a way to sustain the mental attitude of prosperity and abundance.

Naturally, being thankful and giving thanks for everything you have is another way of improving the value of things, experiences and people. This again creates and strengthens the attitude of prosperity and abundance and creates a sense of belief and faith inside of you the you "are exactly where you need to be and on the right track". Exercising gratitude is one of the most powerful and fastest ways to get yourself in a state of heightened faith and certainty, rather than wasting mental energy on attitudes and beliefs that surround doubt and worry.

Sharing and giving of what you have is a way of being thankful to Source and keeps you in the flow of the prosperity and abundance of the Universe. The general rule in giving is to give to the place where you receive spiritual good, the place you can identify as being connected with Spiritual Source. Even in times of little money, regular small giving reinforces your faith in Source and keeps you in the natural flow of giving and receiving with the Universe and therefore in the flow and pathways of abundance and prosperity.

There are other ways of giving besides money; you can share of your abundance and prosperity in ways such as with your good will, with compliments, extra things no longer needed, or flowers from your garden or wild from the woods. I believe nothing makes humans feel richer than helping another feel and increase happiness whether by a homemade gift or small service.

Use the wealth of your creativity and faith rather than your pocket money to enrich your life with beauty, love and joy. Be inventive in beautifying your home and be spontaneous in reaction to opportunities for expressions of love and humor. Practice playfulness in your world for many moments of joy.

Watch and learn from small children as they express wonder at a bug or flower, or enjoy stomping through water puddles, gazing at the stars, or savoring every bite and morsel of a new or favorite food. Children are especially good at being masters of attitudes of abundance, prosperity and faith. They'll easily ask you for not one, but TWO swimming pools for Christmas (one for each of the siblings) and ask it with full belief and faith that they can and will get it.

In obsession with poverty based thoughts and worries it is easy to forget how much of your life is still good! Sustain your abundance and prosperity energy by keeping faith in self, faith in your life process and the Source that you believe in.

Each set of questions challenges readers to discover who they are, where they stand in their faith, and whether God is calling them to a life of greater risks and deeper meaning.
