Thoughts are magnets

You will attract or repel that which you desire or fear in life!

Good evening. I am keeping my promise and blogging more often. Thank those of you who are subscribing to my site. I had a problem with spam mail which caused many of your comments to be trashed. I've retrieved most of them and I am now trying to answer each of you. If you do not receive a response, please comment again.

"For what I fear comes upon me, And what I dread befalls me.¨ Job 3:25 . That particular Scripture passage spells out the power of thought. If you fear anything long enough, it will happen to you.

Many fear contacting cancer. In fact, probably everyone is frightened at that prospect. They look at how many in their family had the disease and they think and fear it excessively. Sure enough, they often do get the illness. People think about what may happen and obsess over it.

The first thing you know, it indeed happens. I am not saying that your thoughts alone have caused it, but it is possible. If you constantly dwell on events, future developments, or what may happen to you, those expectations can develop and become realities. Itis like when you place a magnet against a surface of attraction, both sides pull together and become one¡both the magnet and the attracting surface.

What we think about and visualize exerts a force, that pulls the happening or state towards us. If you refuse to allow yourself to be drawn into giving the undesired condition undue attention, such as thought, the situation will materialize into what is in your mind and thoughts.

The same holds true for good things in your life. This is great news. It tells you that you dreams will come true if you think about them, visualize them and prepare yourself for their requirements, such as acquiring training, Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart"Psalm 37;4.

Another super important condition of your thoughts is they must be focused on desire. You must REALLY want to attain whatever goal you're working on. But keep your thoughts on the good in life and you will attract it and you will also shower goodness on others.

So put a lot of thought attention on what you would like and little thought on what you want to repel. In other words. Distract yourself away from thinking worrisome thoughts.

Keep reading and subscribing to my blogs and do comment. If you like what you see here, get my book Wisdom for the Journey and read more such as you read on the blog. It is on e book and hard cover.
