The Ultimate Law of Attraction

The aim of creating this blog is too take a Christian stance to the recent buzz created by the movie and book the Secret on the age-old theory called the law of attraction. I have tried to explain that I feel deep within me that absolutely every body experiences this so-called law of attraction as sure as we all experience the warmth of the sun every day it shines without any consideration of whether we are good or bad, or to paraphrase what one of the teachers of the secret said, “…if anyone falls of a building, it doesn’t matter whether you are a good person or bad person, you’re gonna hit the ground.” My issue is the god-like status they give you without realising that if what they claim is completely true, we’d be living in a chaotic universe because everybody has different needs. If you want to get my point, go into a store or supermarket and watch shoppers making decisions and then changing their minds. If the catalog of the universe could be accessed like those of superstores, then you’d understand my point.
I don’t think its too much to repeat myself on some important points: there is a God who is in charge of this universe including our little home called planet earth. We need to align our desires with his will for us to make any important progress in this so-called manifesting process.

Sowing and reaping
I believe quite well that this is a spiritual universe. We need to sow the right words and I believe that once they are well planted in the spiritual, then definitely that seed would grow and produce fruits in the physical.

For me to say every word gets sown properly in the spiritual and definitely produces fruit in the physical would be like repeating what the teachers of the secret have been saying. Some words definitely produce fruits. One of the exercises given in the movie on the process of manifesting what you want is to start with a cup of coffee. Let me say again that if manifesting any thing you wanted could come no matter what, every teacher of the secret would be a least on the list of billionaires we have on earth.

Sowing seeds that would definitely germinate and produce fruits in reality.

“Look in the scroll of the Lord and read: None of these will be missing, not one will lack her mate. For it is his mouth that has given the order and his Spirit will gather them together.” Isaiah 34:16

When the word of God and His Spirit work together in our words and prayers, then what I call the ultimate law of attraction takes place. Let me give you another verse that confirms that:

“Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. And God said, ‘Let there be light,’ and there was light.” Genesis 1:2,3

You can see that with the Spirit of God and His Word working hand in hand, creation took place. This truth happens even today. Most Christians who are serious with God study scriptures to know the mind of God. If you do that constantly and have a real relationship with your creator, then speaking His word in your life would definitely cause a real manifestation that would astound you.

Setting Intentions

The so-called teachers of The Secret and their students teach about the power of intentions. They say just set an intention and the universe would bring it to you unfailingly. Of recent, I visited the blog of Joe Vitale, one of the teachers, and I was surprised to see that he has completely reversed his opinion on intentions. He doesn’t believe you could just set any intention and have it granted. He presently prefers what he calls inspired intentions. He claims he prefers to have some form of inspiration on the intentions before sending them to the universe. That really proves that some of them are beginning to own up to the reality of the fact that a lot of their intentions don’t get manifested.

The truth is setting intentions is really like what are called declarations in some Christian circles. The difference here is the fact that the Christians would take a verse whether right or out of context to justify their needs and state it to God or just out aloud to the world, while the way it is presented by the teachers of The Secret is just to present your desires. In the end, whether we quote scripture or not, as long as it is strictly our desires we are interested in and nothing else, we are doing the very same thing but giving it different names.

I do not agree with the fact that just any man would open the scriptures all the time without having any relationship with God to understand His sovereign desires for the world and your role in it, and just make any intentions or declarations to the world or the universe and have it come to pass.

You want to experience the ultimate Law of Attraction? Have a personal relationship with God through Jesus Christ. His Holy Spirit will be given to you to guide you and begin to tell you your role in the divine scheme of things, and manifesting things in line with that role would become simply understandable, though not necessarily easy or fast. My last post about getting a job would explain to you how the word of God in Scripture and my relationship help to bring about the desired result. If the job was not in line with my role in God’s sovereign plan on earth, I’d have had to kiss that job good-bye.
