Achieving Spiritual Abundance

Clearing limiting beliefs and negative associations about money will remove the blocks to allow abundance to pour more effortlessly into our lives. Getting clear about money is crucial, as we can then focus on sharing our talents and achieving our life's mission.

Wealth is not measured by money alone, but by the abundance of a person's spiritual, mental, and emotional life. Spiritual abundance takes the form of love, happiness, peace of mind, compas­sion, generosity, enlightenment, and confidence; whereas, properties, fame, money, cars, clothes, and such, are forms of material wealth. A genuinely wealthy person is abundant in both spiritual and material riches. Many of the greatest people in history were not enormously wealthy in material things, but they were enormously wealthy in spirit and heart. Conversely, many spiritually inclined people struggle to subsist and there are individuals who are cruel hearted and still accrue immense material wealth. The most fulfilled and satisfied among us seek a balance whereby the kind hearted and loving are able to have the money and means they require to live a comfortable anxiety free life, so they are free to fulfill their mission and purpose and share their gifts with the world.

This is not as challenging as it may appear to those who are blinded by fear and doubt. A fundamental step is to build an abundance awareness, giving yourself permission to prosper. When we prosper by offering something of merit to another that will increase the qual­ity of their lives; in addition to helping them fulfill their universal potential and offering their talents, etc, then this is known as right livelihood. Right livelihood is advantageous for everyone.

Every now and then, when we see or hear about someone who has already achieved notable financial success launching another new product or business, we may be excused for thinking along the lines of, "why bother, surely they don't need the money. Why aren't they at the beach or on the golf course?" Living a truly abundant life is about being happy and prosperous by doing the work you love. Our talents are intended to be shared with others.

Money is energy that flows to the person who gives us something we want or need. When an individual does not recognize, develop, or share their talents, everyone is cheated, particularly the one who does not share. Abundance and fulfillment comes when we give of ourselves through our talents and abilities. Everyone has talent and everyone can make a contribution to the overall plan. Many never know their right place in the scheme of things, but any person who desires it can find this and prosper as they do what they love.

When we give something of value to another, we can expect to receive some­thing of value in return, if not at once then at the appropriate time. Giving is hard for some, as they think they will lose what belongs to them. While it is true if you have a dollar and you give it away you no longer have the money, if you trade it for something to eat, you have the food and the other has the cash. Giving to charity is beneficial as it softens the heart of the giver and brings them good fortune. There is a spiritual law of tithing that says as we give char­itably or give to wherever we are getting our spiritual knowledge and support, we shall be prospered tenfold or more in return. Importantly we must give in advance, not wait until we have plenty before deciding to start.

The cycle of circulation is established by reciprocal relationships. Sometimes we can give love to someone who does not return it, but this too has its value as we learn to be loving and kind to all.

Many use people and love things, but it should be the other way around. Money represents current and future goods and services, but it does not embody love, happiness, enlightenment or any spiritual qualities. Someone with enough money can certainly acquire companionship, but can never buy love or true happiness.

Beginning Spiritual Prosperity With Prosperity's First of 12 Affirmations

Prosperity's 12 Affirmations are affirmations derived from scripture found in Exodus chapter 20 known as the 10 Commandments and from Matthew chapter 22 where Jesus gave cited the two greatest commandments. The truth of these scriptures can be applied to any aspect of life and in this context we are using their eternal truth to fortify and expand our awareness of abundance and prosperity. The affirmations form a solid foundation upon which to base our thinking and actions when working with the intangible aspects of prosperity. The affirmations help us to feel worthy of prosperity and to cultivate and apply our spiritual understanding to our experience of prosperity. In general our non-material, invisible and spiritual abilities are fundamental to our experience of prosperity and they can be summarized as our relationship with Life Itself or God. The affirmations also apply to our relationship with our fellow human beings and the rest of material creation.

Let's consider Prosperity's 1st Affirmation for example, "I look to God as my only Source of wealth and supply". Prosperity's 1st Affirmation is the bedrock of our practice. When we energetically affirm that we look to God as our only Source of wealth and supply, we are focusing inner spiritual, mental and emotions energies which create the possibilities for God's blessings to be attracted to us. As we consistently assert and practice Prosperity's 1st Affirmation we learn that deep within our sense of Being, that every thing and every non-thing, e.g. feelings, emotions, ideas, etc.; is born of God. By first looking to God for our supply and wealth we are practicing a positive faith that the Creative Life Force is providing and orchestrating the material, circumstances and relationships we need to sustain life, thrive and experience well being. This practice is particularly powerful when we look beyond our immediate circumstances and appearances and create images of God to pouring blessings into or Life experience at the perfect time and in the perfect manner for our use and the enrichment of our Soul. In order to have this type of experience of the more abundant life, we must understand the principles of life that make such experiences possible.

Sometimes that understanding comes from experiencing a life of lack or poverty. Rev. Diane Harmony, author of the book 5 GIFTS for Living An Abundant Life, says that abundance has been a key motivator in her life. She experienced lack and limitation to the point that she was forced to look to God as her only Source and thereby learn at a deep level how to dismiss lack and embrace abundance.

Try it for yourself, the next time you feel you have a need, before looking for which bank account to use or for which credit card is under its limit, look first to God. Pray a prayer similar to this:

"Our Father, creator of all that Is, I thank You for my life now. I thank You for continuing to give me the breath of Life and all that I need to sustain, maintain and elevate my life experience. Dear Lord, I now look to You as my only Source of Life, health, happiness, peace and prosperity. I now surrender to Your Presence and Power within me and I am receptive to Your prospering ideas that are now fulfilling my non-material and material needs. I am now open to the free flow of money, people and ideas into my treasure chest, my network and my mind! Thank You God! Amen!"

Abundance As Spiritual Birthright

I am going to remind of some simple, yet important things, that you should already know, but perhaps need a reminding of just now. I know that I need reminding from time to time and suspect that you may also need the same 'straight to the point' reminders.

I have written thousands of pages about success, wealth creation, prosperity consciousness and personal empowerment. All those many words are but an elaboration of these nine basic precepts. If you need convincing or want the substantiation or the practical application of these nine precepts, then buy and read my books. If you just need the simple reminder, then read through to the bottom of this page.

1. Creator, or the Ultimate Source, or the All That Is All, or the Universal Creative Impulse, or God, or whatever you may wish to name it, desires your prosperity and success. It does not desire (or demand) any impoverishment, suffering or limitation of any kind for you UNLESS that is what you desire or envision for yourself. Creator wants you to be blessed, wants you to succeed, wants you to have all the wealth and abundance you desire for yourself. Desire is de-sire... of the father. Your desires for wealth and abundance are divine. Honor them.

2. You are an inseparable part of Source. You are a divine creator as well as a sacred creature. Your intimate connection with the All That Is All is always there and cannot ever be severed for any reason EXCEPT that you will it to be so. (and even that is an illusion) You don't need to do anything to return to Source. You are already there and always have been and always will be at one with The All That Is All. You are a part of, not apart from, Infinite Intelligence. Your consciousness is contained within universal consciousness. Each and every thought held in your consciousness is an integral part of the universal. It adds to the whole. It is creative.

3. You deserve success and wealth. You do not need to measure up to any standard, not even the ones you have set for yourself in order to merit wealth, success or happiness. Abundance is your birthright as a child of God. There is no prime cause at work that denies you the fulfillment of your fondest desires for success and happiness. To the contrary, the universe is set up to support your abundance. Harmonize yourself with the way the universe works and you will have all you envision and desire. It's all about vibration and harmonics.

4. The Law of Attraction is always working. Whatever you have in your life right now, you have attracted into it. You do not attract what you wish for or even what you envision; you attract what you are. What you have and what you see around you is but a reflection of who you are being in this moment. Denial does not negate the Law of Attraction anymore than it negates Gravity, which is, after all, just another example of the Law of Attraction in action. Become more and you will have more.

5. The choice is always yours. At each and every moment, you have the power to choose to be, do and have more. Or less. Whatever you can imagine, you can have. The four principle forces that power your creativity are: thought, belief, desire and intent. You can choose what and how to think. You can choose what and how to believe. You can choose what to desire. You can choose your intentions. Such is your power. Choose carefully. Choose intentionally. Choose purposefully. Your choices of thought, belief, desire and intent determine who you are. Who you are determines what you get to have.

6. The true purpose of your life is simply to revere, relish and contribute. Life is meant to be a joyful event. When you honor all things, especially yourself, as being sacred; and when you wholeheartedly partake in and appreciate the pleasures of life; and when you consciously and intentionally choose to make a contribution to life... you are fulfilling the purpose of your life and you will experience joy and fulfillment. When you are searching for the purpose of your life, you are seeking the way that you can make a contribution or express your gratitude for the gift of life. Become a blessing and you will be blessed.

7. Love really is all you need. Compassion will open you up to being able to receive and accept all the love, joy and abundance that surrounds you constantly. Compassion for all creation, most especially for your sacred self, is the key that unlocks the door into infinity. Infinite love surrounds you. Be compassionate to life. Become passionate about life and you will experience all the abundance you are willing to allow yourself. In order to love your neighbor as yourself, you need to first love yourself. Love you. Honor you. Cherish you.

8. When you remember these simple things, life makes sense; when you forget them, you get confused by the apparent complexity. You wrote this script, now you are acting it out as the ultimate method actor. However, you may stumble occasionally, in the brilliance of your performance, when you forget the plot. Since you wrote this script, you can change it at any time you desire. Since you are playing the role you wrote, you can play it any way you think best. Drama, comedy, tragedy, romance, adventure, soap opera? You decide.

9. You are hearing this now because you asked to be reminded, from time to time, of what you know, but sometimes forget, as you immerse yourself in the experience of life on planet earth. You came here to play this game. That was your original choice. It remains your choice. I get to be the guy, this time, to remind you of the rules of your game. That is my contribution. Next time, it may be your turn to remind me. We have eternity to play. Eternity exists in this exact moment. Play full out. Now.

I love you. I honor you. I am grateful that you chose to be a part of my life. I am humbled if I can contribute in any way to the pleasure and success of your journey.

Learn and Affirm 5 GIFTS For Spiritual Prosperity and Abundance

Diane Harmony's book and 8 week course 5 GIFTS for an Abundant Life has changed lives and helped hundreds if not thousands of people transform their relationship with money and well being. To keep the 5 GIFTS working in your life and to remember to give and receive the GIFTS everyday, incorporate the following affirmations into your daily routine. 

Affirm Gratitude: I am grateful for my life and I take whatever time I need to find something for which to be grateful in every circumstance. Gratitude is an attitude and state of mind. You can choose to be grateful in virtually any situation.

Affirm Intention: I am Intentional. I set and manifest intentions as a part of God's promises to humanity. Intentionality is a powerful exercise of the will which does not require any stressful effort when approached from a spiritual perspective.

3.Affirm Forgiveness: I am forgiving. I love when I am loved and I forgive whenever love is withheld in my experience. Forgiveness is a mentally, emotionally and spiritually cleansing process. Our nature is to seek and be drawn to love. Forgiveness brings us back to a possibility of experiencing love when we have withdrawn it or it has been withdrawn from us.

Affirm Tithing: I enjoy giving and I give a portion of my Gifts from God to the people and organizations that bless and uplift humanity. Tithing is defined in scripture as giving 10% of the valuables you receive from God to God's channels. The spiritual principle is to be giving just as Life is giving. The nature of Life is to give and when we give freely we are attuned to the flow of Life.

Affirm Surrender: I surrender to the power, wisdom and prosperity of God within me. Surrender usually connotes failure or resignation but in this context it is totally different. In this context you are surrendering to the indwelling Spirit within you which is your strength and access to Possibility. You are giving up trying to do everything yourself. You do your best and leave the rest up to God.

As you incorporate the principles of surrender, tithing, forgiveness, intention and gratitude into your life you will notice more abundance and an acute sense of prosperity. So that you can learn more, about the 5 GIFTS, please accept my invitation to receive a free recording of an interview with Rev. Harmony; visit http://www.prosperingtimes.com to download your copy of the recording.

Spiritual Power - How Can Operating in the Spiritual Realm Bring Prosperity on Earth?

Spiritual power is available for those willing to learn how to use it and improve it. Just like we can increase the power of our minds and bodies to improve our life, we can increase our spiritual powers to manifest abundant prosperity in all areas of life.

Spirit, Soul, and Body

We are three-part beings; spirit, soul (mind), and body. It is normal for people to go to school, study, and take classes throughout life to improve their minds and intellect. It is also a common practice for people to learn how to strengthen and condition their bodies for improved physical strength. These are all good things that improve our overall quality of life and ability to have growing prosperity.

But what about the spirit part of our being? How easy is it to ignore that part of us that we cannot see, touch, or feel?

The thing is; even though the spiritual realm is invisible it still affects our physical world. The condition of our spirit can be strengthen and improved, just like our mind and body, and it also directly affects the quality of our life.

So if you have been neglecting this part of yourself, today is a good day to reconsider the power of the human spirit.

Spiritual Power

What part of you doesn't grow old? Your inward man, your spirit; it is renewed day by day and never ages.

"Though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day." -- 2 Corinthians 4:16

It is vital that you realize the Kingdom of God is inside you and operates through your spirit. As a child of God it was your spirit that was born again of the Spirit of God. You now have the life of God in you, who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us.

When the Greater One is working inside our spirit it is capable of providing everything we need in this life, whether it be spiritual, physical, or financial. It can produce it, lead us to it, or cause it to come. However, we need to learn how to tap into this power and allow our spirit to operate effectively.

Operating in the Spiritual Realm

Our own spirit knows more than our intellect. It is our spirit, inside us, that is the real us that is in contact with God and knows all about our needs, failures, and strengths.

"For what man knows the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him." -- 1 Corinthians 2:11

If we learn to tap into the power of our spirit by seeking first the Kingdom of God and studying His Word, we can tap into the wisdom of God and have all things added to us and prosper.

God's system will produce abundance when we are diligent to work the system. It requires getting His Word into our heart and spirit and not just our intellect.

Why? Because it is a spiritual operation. We can plant it in our spirit and start it growing by confessing something such as the following daily:

'I give and it is given unto me. I sow bountifully and reap bountifully. My God supplies all my need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.'

When we begin to operate in the spiritual realm, we empower ourselves with a positive force that wards off negative attacks. This positive, spiritual, faith force works on a higher realm than the physical realm and causes the abundance of God to manifest in our lives even if others are in lack.

Truth is: Knowing how to operate on a higher spiritual realm is worth discovering. When we operate in the realm of the spirit with God, we will find His wisdom and empowerment to bring us growing prosperity on earth.

May you operate on a higher spiritual realm and live a life of growing prosperity!

Biblical Prosperity - An Abundance of Spiritual Blessings! Have You Claimed Your Rich Inheritance?

Biblical Prosperity is an important topic for Christians. God desires to do good things for His children and produce good fruit in their lives. His blessings on our lives bring glory and honor to Him. So let's take a look at what the Bible says about prosperity. What is Biblical Prosperity and why is the abundant life based on spiritual prosperity?

Biblical Prosperity - Blessed with Spiritual Blessings

God has left all His children a great inheritance and we can see this by reading His will. And what God has provided, He did abundantly. There is no need for His children to divide up a little, because there is more than enough to go around.

"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ." -- Ephesians 1:3

See what I mean? It says 'ALL' spiritual blessings in heavenly places. I don't know about you, but 'all the spiritual blessings in heavenly places' sounds like abundance to me!

And notice these blessings have already been provided and this is prosperity that we can walk in now, not later. We can tap into this spiritual prosperity by asking God to give us the spirit of wisdom and revelation into His will.

Pray that God opens the eyes of your heart and His Word comes alive in your life.

"The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, and what the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints." -- Ephesians 1:18

As children of God we are made alive together and seated together with Christ in heavenly places. Once we see life from God's perspective, and realize we are prosperous right now with every spiritual blessing, our life and future outlook becomes changed forever.

Spiritual Prosperity - The Foundation of an Abundant Life

The kingdom of God is a spiritual one and the foundation of our prosperity, as kingdom citizens, starts in heavenly places; an area that we can't physically see or touch. As children of God we have been given all spiritual blessings in Christ.

Yes, if we want to transform our world and manifest financial prosperity and success we have to observe natural laws. But first we must seek to obey spiritual laws that have power to bring even greater riches in our lives. Then by combining the natural and spiritual laws we can find ourselves with growing prosperity; spirit, soul, and body.

'The riches of the glory of the inheritance of the saints' is the great treasure for God's children. It is the great prosperity -the abundance of God. We are made righteous and sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise. We have love, joy, peace, hope, and more. Biblical prosperity starts with spiritual prosperity first. From there God gives each of us the unique abilities to prosper in life in ways that will bring glory to Him.

Live like King Uzziah, who as long as he sought the Lord, God made him to prosper.

The truth is: Biblical prosperity is the abundant life. We can have all spiritual blessings when we find our place in Christ! Why not choose to live the great adventure, and the great prosperity that is available in Christ? We can have an abundant and prosperous life in Christ as we continue to pursue and chase after Him. Are you enjoying the riches of the glory of your inheritance? If not, ask God to open the eyes of your heart and reveal how you are blessed right now with every spiritual blessing.

May the eyes of your understanding be enlightened and your life full of growing prosperity!

The Spiritual Law of Abundance

When we have a few quiet moments to ourselves, we may wonder at how bountiful this Universe is. Nature has indeed provided us with much beauty and wealth. In fact, the thought may even strike us - how nice it would be if we can tap into this source to bring more abundance into our lives.

Well, the truth is that it is possible. There is a spiritual law of abundance, according to gurus like Deepak Chopra, Abraham or Esther and Jerry Hicks, and Bob Proctor, just to name a few. According to this law, the Universe is abundant and that we can have virtually anything we desire. All of what is currently in our reality is the result of our manifestations.

In the context of quantum science, we know that the Universe is made up of matter and energy. Matter and energy are the same; each is transformable into the other. Hence, all of bounty in nature, is a result of the unmanifest that has been transformed into the manifest. And that includes our physical forms.

Deepak Chopra, in his book on the Seven Spiritual Laws of Success, said that the source of creation is divinity (or the spirit); the process of creation is divinity in motion (or the mind); and the object of creation is the physical universe (of which the physical body is a part). All of these three aspects of reality are fundamentally the same thing. They all come from pure potentiality; originating from pure thoughts. It is therefore clear to see that we are co-creators of our Universe. If we choose to focus our thoughts on great abundance, giving more energy to them and tapping into the vast wealth that the Universe has, we can bring our thoughts into reality.

We can choose not to believe this and to separate ourselves from all that is. Or, we can choose to experience for ourselves the exuberant abundance that we see in nature. When we make a choice for the latter, we can then begin to attract all the abundance that we want into our lives.

The Spiritual Law of Abundance is appealing because it makes us know that we have the power to change our environment. We can be abundant. We can experience joy and happiness in quantities that we never thought we deserve to in this lifetime. Abundance, including money, will flow to us like never before when we understand and apply this law properly.
