Reclaiming God’s Abundance

Tuesday, April 14th, 2009

In order for us to reclaim our natural Birthright of God’s Infinite Abundance, we need to clear our relationship with money. Since we have chosen to live in a system that uses money as our source of exchange, we need to eliminate our fear of it and realize that money is just a source of energy—period. It is not some awesome entity that comes into our lives to wield its power over us and rule our destinies. It is only because of our fear for survival that we have allowed money to have that kind of control over us.

First of all, we must eliminate poverty consciousness and start functioning with prosperity consciousness. Instead of worrying all of the time about not having enough money, we need to focus on our gratitude for the money we do have. Gratitude is a magnet that brings more of what we are grateful for into our lives.

Every time we spend a penny of our money, whether it is to buy groceries, pay our bills, for entertainment or whatever, we should bless it with gratitude for the service it is providing to us. Then we should let it go freely, knowing that money is just a source of energy and, like ALL energy, it will go out, expand and return to us for more service.

If we send our money forth grudgingly, bemoaning the high cost of living, fearing we won’t have enough to cover our expenses, hating to spend it on the necessities of life, we will automatically block the flow of God’s abundance.

The process of developing prosperity consciousness does not mean going out and charging unnecessary things and getting ourselves deeper in debt by spending money we don’t have. It does mean, however, that we recognize money is providing a service to us that we should accept with gratitude and appreciation.

As we move forward at warp speed, it is crucial for us to remember that we are responsible for cocreating our own prosperity. We must perpetually ask ourselves, “Is what I AM thinking, saying, feeling or doing adding to my prosperity and prosperity consciousness, or am I blocking my prosperity with fear and poverty consciousness?”

If what we are expressing is reflecting poverty consciousness, then we must ask ourselves, “What do we need to change in order to express prosperity consciousness and open up to God’s flow of abundance right now?” It is imperative that we hold tenaciously to our positive visions and energize them daily with our affirmations and the focus of our attention. We must be deliberate about our wealth. Through persistence, confidence and acceptance we will open our hearts to the God supply of all good things.

Quotes on Prosperity

Tuesday, March 24th, 2009

Giving and Receiving

Tuesday, March 24th, 2009

Giving and Receiving
To create many flows of money in your life, learn to give and receive freely. You want to receive as well as give. Many of you love to give to others, yet it is harder to allow yourself to receive from them. You empower others by letting them give to you, for they then have the opportunity to demonstrate their abundance. People feel good about themselves when they give you something that you can use and appreciate. If no one could receive, no one would be able to give, which would block the flow of energy necessary to create abundance.

I am open to receive.
Do not see it as selfish for you to receive; see it as the completion of the circle of energy. The more you open to receive, the more you can give. Receive money from people, receive the form and substance of what they give you, and do so with warmth and graciousness. Imagine ten times the amount of money someone gives you coming back to them every time you receive money. As you envision success for other people, you increase your own magnetism to prosperity.

Be open to receiving with gratitude and grace. If you receive a check for ten dollars, thank the universe for it, rather than saying, “This is not enough.” So many people receive money and say, “I don’t know how I’m going to make this last; I wish I had received more.” They take the amount and make it less, and less will come next time. If you receive money with an image of more coming, with a feeling of joy and thanks, you create more ways for the universe to give you prosperity.
