It's Time to Overcome!

Generally people that struggle financially suffer from a victim mentality.

Usually they can tell you, with great detail, the exact causes of their financial battles and why they are impossible to overcome.

They live in the belief that they are at the mercy of circumstances that are beyond their control.

These circumstances can be the economic climate, their lack of education, bad choices, bad timing, or just plain bad luck.

I believe that the bible tells us that this is an inaccurate view of life, that the truth is the exact opposite.

Life, the world and its circumstances are actually at the mercy of us, both collectively and individually. It has no choice but to respond to and obey our thoughts, words and actions.

I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessings and cursings: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live."

Deut 30:19

The world and its ways, are our creations, our lives are our creations.

We suffer financial difficulties because we are ignorant of our ability to create life the way we want it.

Now unto him that is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us."

Eph 3:20

STEP 1: Understanding

The first step in overcoming financial difficulty, is eliminating the victim mentality from our personality.

You are not a victim!

Whilst you may be suffering victim like circumstances, this does not accurately reflect who you are, it does accurately reflect your ignorance of the incredible creating power that lies sleeping within every human being.

"As in water face answereth to face, so the heart of man to man".

Proverbs 27:19

"For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he".

Proverbs 23:7

Before we can succeed we need a personality transformation

Saturate your mind with scripture or self help books, or biographies that speak about the power of faith, about the power within the human spirit to overcome. As you do this you will learn to not fear challenges, but be excited by the prospect of overcoming them.

Now that we recoginise that this power is within us. We must activate it and put it to work in our experience. Creative power is released when we think, speak and act. Generally these actions are done in an unconscious manner, and our creative power is squandered.

We need to release our power in a definite organised way.

STEP 2:

Directing our Power

Decide what you want to achieve, how much wealth you want, what you want to own, where you want to go, and when you want these things to have happened by, and write it down in a clear concise statement.

STEP 3:

Concentrating our Power

Twice a day, preferably morning and night, read this statement aloud to yourself with the emotion of expectation and enthusiasm.*

After doing this for a while begin to imagine yourself and your life the way it is written in your statement. The object here is to build up a feeling of confidence, power, and excitement, when this is achieved you are creating your desire.

The degree of emotion you generate determines how powerfully and effectively you create. See Steps for Generating Positive Emotion for more details.

STEP 4: Action

Sometimes a particular action is needed; sometimes the best action is no action at all. The appropriate action is always one that stimulates your faith and brings about a positive emotion.

STEP 5: Awareness

You are now on a crash course with the destiny you have chosen. Be on the lookout for signs that it is manifesting, they are there. Acknowledge them no matter how small or insignificant they may seem.

“Seek and ye shall find”

Matthew 7:7

Get excited by the inches of progress and pretty soon they will become miles of success. Ignore the inches and the miles never come.
