What is real? The Truth is!

"And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer,

believing, ye shall receive."

Matthew 21:22



Image for a moment what could happen if you received everything you prayed for? Wouldn't that make you happy? What a wonderful thought to know that anything you desired, with an open heart could be yours! The above passage from the book of Matthew is very powerful because it states two important things that God will bless you with whatever you pray and believe for, and that the Creator has given you the honor of being co-creator in your own life. What we don't recognize is that prayer doesn't necessarily mean sitting down, folding our hands and taking time out to talk to God. Prayer comes in many forms and is often quite informal. When was the last time you caught yourself muttering something under your breath? Did you know that consistently talking to yourself is also form of prayer? Yes, there is the type of prayer where we make time to sit down, quietly and thank God for the things we have and ask for his assistance in our lives and then there is the informal prayer where we are saying things absently mindedly. In reality you are also summoning certain realities in your life. The next time you get frustrated and say things like, "I know I'm not going to get a new job, or I know I'm not going to get a better home,' just remember, that you are reversing your blessings by essentially telling God that you don't deserve the 'new job, 'or 'new home.' How about on those days that you wake up on the wrong side of the bed and state, "this is going to be a bad day," and you really believe that the day is just going to end up awful. Just watch all the negative things which happen, only because you called for it and believed it! The book of Matthew also states, "Ask, and it shall be given you . . . " Be mindful of what you ask for and be careful of what you think. Your words and thoughts are constantly creating your reality.

All praises to the Creator, Amen
