What The Bible Says About The Law Of Attraction

Yes, sir.

All right. Good morning, YouTube. Good morning, folks in the audience. So glad you are here for the Bible study this morning. I shouldn't call it an audience. Folks who are gathered here today. Sounds like a wedding. I don't know. I don't know what to call it. Welcome. Welcome to our world. Okay, so there we go. We just made something up.

So the want to read some verses to you from.

James chapter 2, and.

Starting with verse number 14. And this is one of those passages that people really get confused about. And I'm going to talk to you today about what does the Bible say about the law of attraction? Okay. So. And I'm going to let you all in on that because there's a lot of controversy about this law of attraction. Law of attraction, really real.

And the law of attraction is against the Bible. Right. So let's, let's, let's don't have a reaction. Let's just look at it and see what we can find out. So before I even get started, I guess I'm going to read some verses first. I'm going to start with that because that's where I like to start. So verse 14, what do the profit my brethren, though a man say keyword? By the way, one of the key words. Say some keywords in James chapter two to help you better understand the passage see and say. Right? Okay. Anytime you see the word see or seest or the word say, you're going to know those are important to understanding this passage or that or the two words together. When you say you see or you see, then. Right. It'll help you understand this passage better. Okay. So.

What does it profit my brethren, though a man say he hath faith and have not works, can faith save him? That's a good question. Though a man say he have faith, I'm not and have not works, can faith save him? If a brother or sister be naked and destitute of daily food, and one of you say unto them, depart in peace and be warmed and filled, notwithstanding you give them those things which are needful for the body, what does it profit? Even so, faith, if it hath not works, is dead being alone. Yea, a man may say, thou hast faith, and I have works. Show me thy faith.

Without thy works.

And I will show thee my faith by my works. If thou believest that there is one God, thou doest. Well, the devils believe also. Believe and tremble. Devils believe. Wait a minute. This is really getting confusing now. Anybody else confused by this? Okay, doesn't it sound kind of confusing? Wait A minute. The devils are believing. Now they believe and tremble.

But wilt thou know, O man, that faith without works is dead? Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered Isaac his son upon the altar? Seest thou how faith wrought with his works? And by works was his faith made perfect. And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, abraham believed God. It was imputed to him for righteousness, and he was called a friend of God. Ye see then, how that by works a man is justified, and not by. You see then, how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only. And then he goes on to talk about Rahab for as the body, for likewise also Rahab the harlot was justified by works when she received the messengers and she sent them out another way. For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also. So I said, I'm going to talk about the Law of attraction. So now I'm going to. I've already read that passage. I'm going to talk about what is the law of attraction. The law of attraction is this ideology, this philosophy that basically teaches if you just think good thoughts and happy thoughts, the universe will give you good things. Okay, so I'm going to say a couple of things about that. I'm going to say, first and foremost, it is better to think good thoughts than bad thoughts, and it's better to think happy thoughts than sad thoughts. But I'm also going to say, because if you want to know why, you can refer back to the video I did a couple weeks ago on the universe is not God. The universe doesn't give you anything. The universe doesn't have anything to give you. The universe is a created thing. You as a human being are more powerful. You have more authority in the universe than the universe. And the universe, people say, well, you can call it the universe. You can call it God. You can call it. That's like saying, you can call me Myron, you can call me Hector, you can call me Charlton, you can call me whatever you want to call me. That's like. That's not true about you. And you didn't create everything out of nothing. If people can't call you whatever they want to call you, where do we get the arrogance to believe that we can just call God whatever we want to call. Call him? He has to be what we make him. Here's what. Like, like in the Ten Commandments, the First Commandment, thou shalt have no other gods before me. And. And if. And if you are saying God is who you say he is, you're making up your own God. That is a form of idolatry. So anyway.

So the universe doesn't give you anything. The universe is like God's nightstand. That's how I like to think of it. The universe is like God's nightstand. What does that mean? It's where God hides stuff for his children to find. What? I mean, like, when my children were teenagers, they'd, hey, dad, the car needs gas. Okay, well, go get the credit card. Go get the debit card out of my desk drawer out of my nightstand, and then go fill up the car with gas. Can you imagine one of my kids, like, going to the nightstand and saying, oh, thank you, nightstand, wonderful nightstand. All knowing nightstand for giving me this money to go get gas. It doesn't make any sense. The nightstand didn't do anything. It was a place where the father hid the resource for the child to find.

It would be like, we would think if we saw a child do that, we would think, that's kind of weird, right? So the universe doesn't have anything to give you.

I get it. People are going to disagree with that. That's okay. You've been wrong before. You can be wrong again. No, I'm just kidding. I'm kind of just kidding. But the reality is, you can disagree with me if you want to, but everything that is like every design thing has to have a designer. Every created thing has to have a creator. Every made thing has to have a maker. God is the maker. God is the maker of the universe. And when he created the universe, he created three categories in creation. He created creation. That's the universe, the stars, the sun, the moon, the grass, the trees, the water, the wind, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. Then he created creatures. Dogs, cats, alligators, giraffes, chimpanzees, right? Like, etc. Etc. Etc. And then he created the final the crown of his creation. Literally, not figuratively. The crown of his creation is when he made man. He created creators. He created us to create stuff, and he made us to make stuff.

We are the only thing God created that has creative power. Yes, a beaver can build a beaver dam, but they don't create blueprints for their beaver dam. They just find whatever they find and put it wherever it goes. And if it stays good, I got something, right? It's not the same thing. Like, creators can create concepts and convey those concepts to other people using words. Are y' all tracking? So there's a very, very, very, very, very big difference between the created creation, the created creatures and the created creators are y' all tracking. And so what we want to do is we want to understand that we are created creators. Now here's what's really interesting about the word faith. So we just read all of this stuff about the word faith, like faith without works is dead. Here's the interesting thing about the word faith. The Greek word that is translated into the English word faith is the word pistis P I s t I s pistis. And I'm going to read to you what it is. It's a credence, a moral conviction, a religious truth of truthfulness of God or a religious teacher, especially reliance upon Christ. Consistency in such a profession by extension. Now here, the system. The what? The system of a religious gospel, truth itself, assurance, belief and faith. So what is the system of faith? Well, here's what the system of faith is. Faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the word of God. Okay, so here's where the system of faith starts. It starts with God speaking truth. Then I hear the truth that God is speaking or spoken. That God is speaking. I used to speak, now I just read about it. Okay, I hear the truth that God has spoken or I read the truth that God has spoken. That's the first part of the system. The system starts with God's word. The system doesn't start with me. The system doesn't start with the stuff I want. The system doesn't start with my good feelings. The system doesn't start with me manifesting something out of nothing. The system doesn't start with me speaking things into existence. Because here's the reality. And I know I'm going to contradict a lot of religious teachers, I'm going to contradict a lot of gurus and self help people. But you can't speak anything into existence because if you could speak something into existence, you would have already spoke something different into existence than what you got in existence right now. Okay, but in reality, the real reason we can't speak anything into existence is because the speak something into existence. The Hebrew word for that is the word bara. In Genesis 1:1 it says Brasheet bara Elohim et hashem vaet aharetz. Brasheet bara, brasheet. In beginning bara, God spoke into existence. He created the only one in the entire Bible. Who ever baras anything is God.

If a human could bara, we would have barrah a long time ago. Myron, could you bara me something? Sorry bruh, I can't bara Right? I can't. I don't have the ability to. Bara, I'm not the one. I. I don't. If you want to bara, you got to talk to somebody other than me. And if I want to bara, I got to talk to somebody other than you. Why? Because God is the only one. Who Baras, are y' all tracking? Okay. In fact, in the word abra, kadabra, aberra, abara, kadabra. Ah, Aleph. That's God. Bara creates as Debar speaks God. God creates as speaks God. That's abracadabra, right? So, Bara, only God can Bara, when a magician pulls a rabbit out of his hat, I promise he was faking it, right? It was a sleight of hand. He got you to look somewhere else when he got that rabbit. I promise you, that's how it works. Called sleight of hand. So understand that you can't speak things into existence. Understand that. That, and I know I'm being pretty emphatic. You have to understand that it begins with God. So here's why it has to begin with God. Because if God has spoken something, his word is truth.

Right? And because his word is truth, it can't be broken. God's existence depends on God's word. What do I mean by that? The scripture tells us. I think it's Psalm 113. It says, you have magnified your word above your own name. Why? Because God's word.

Is truth. What is truth? Truth is Amet. We looked at this before. This is the letter in Hebrew that represents God. Hebrew, by the way, is written from right to left. Gods. This is the word that represents might. The might of the ocean. It represents the ocean, but the might of the ocean. So this is God's mighty. And this is a cross or a covenant. This is God's mighty covenant. That's what covenant.

Okay, God's mighty covenant. What's God's mighty covenant? God's mighty covenant is truth. What is a covenant? A covenant is an agreement between two or more individuals based upon a mutual love and trust. And when they went into a covenant relationship, they would always kill an animal or two animals or three animals. When God entered the covenant with Abraham. If you want to see this, what this looks like, go read Genesis chapter 15. God said to Abram, he said, go get a heifer three years old, a she goat three years old.

A ram three years old, a turtle dove, and a young pigeon, right? So he got five things. He went and got five different animals. He killed the Animals. Why? Because God's in the spirit realm. Abram was in the physical realm. In order to get the animals in the physical realm, he needed a physical person to do it. He said. He said, divide these animals in pieces, but don't divide the birds. By the way, the pigeon is a picture as a type of the spirit, and the pigeon is a type of the flesh, right? And the ram and the goat, they all have significance. I'm going too far, too deep. I'm getting off track. So if you take God and separate him from his mighty covenant, this word mem tab in Hebrew is the word death.

Which shows us that, number one, if you try to separate God from the truth, all you have left is death. But also, if God himself doesn't keep his word, then God himself has to die. And if God dies, everything ceases to exist.

This is why the system of faith has to begin with God. It can't begin in you just because you want to believe something. Just because I want to believe something. I'm not the source, right? I'm a vessel, right? I am. I'm on a mission. I'm on assignment. I have an assignment. So this ain't about. It ain't about me being awesome, right? It's about the king being awesome. And so it all starts with his word. Faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the word of God. So I can't conjure up.

Like, this kind of faith. Living faith, dynamic faith, okay? So in our passage, we have three different kinds of faith. So he says, faith without works is dead. Now, before I dead, faith is the second kind of faith.

What is dead faith? It is faith that has no action. Why is he saying faith has no action? So this is really interesting. It's really interesting. If you go read the Ten Commandments, right? In Exodus, chapter 20, what? You'll see, you'll see. The first four commandments have to do with our relationship to God. The last six commandments have to do with our relationship with other people, right? It's so fascinating. Say, why is that so fascinating? Because one of the themes of the scripture is this. How you treat people is how you treat me. That's from God. How you treat people is how you treat me. Signed God. How'd y' all like that? How you treat people is how you treat me. He said, hey, how can you say you love God, whom you haven't seen, but you hate your brother, whom you have seen.

Right? Here's what he said. What you talking about? He said, if a man. Oh, right in this Verse. If a man say you have faith but have not works, his faith is dead. What being alone? Hey, be doers of the Word, not hearers, only deceiving who your own selves. If any man be a hearer of the Word and not a doer, he's like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass. For he beholdeth himself and goeth his way and straightway immediately forgets what manner of man he was. What does that even mean? It means a person who doesn't do like, who looks into the Word, doesn't take action on it. By the way, this is one of the problems I have with modern day churchianity. People feel like they did God a favor by going to church. Can I get a witness? Right. I put in my time, put in your time. And when we find something in the Word, the Word is supposed to be like a mirror that changes us. And if it don't change me, then I like it. Ain't the problem, right? So it says a person looks into the word of God, sees how they should be. They're not that way if they don't change. They're like a person who woke up this morning, looked in the mirror, saw sleep in her eyes, slobber on the side of her face, their hair wasn't combed, their beard was disheveled. And they turned around from the mirror and forgot how raggedy they was looking and just went off to work.

That's what it says. Any man, behold, whosoever looketh of the perfect law of liberty and continues there and he straightway forget what manner of man he was. What does it mean? It means he's like a man beholding his natural face in the glass. For he beholdeth himself, he sees what he looks like and then he goes his way and straightway immediately forgets what manner of man he was. What? What are we doing? My big. My like, I'm not exaggerating. Like.

A friend of mine, Stan Harris. Dr. Stan Harris now. But he wasn't Dr. Stan Harris then. We were both teenagers, right? He shared the gospel with me. I received Christ, but I resisted for five months. You know why I resisted for five months? Because I knew I was a bad person.

I knew I was bad. He asked me, he said, hey man, I want to ask you a question. We're both in high school, right? I want to ask you a question. If you die today, do you know for sure you go to heaven? All I said, no, if I died today, I know for sure I ain't going to Heaven. They don't want me up there. I'm serious. They don't want Heaven. Me? No, bruh, not me. Right? I'd mess it up. And I knew that I couldn't be what I thought a Christian was supposed to be before I even came to Christ.

But neither can anybody else. But what I didn't know is I do it through his power, not my power. I didn't know. For it is God that worketh in you both to will. That's the ability and I mean that's the desire and to do of his good pleasure. Philippians. I think it's Philippians 2:13. I thought it was Philippians 2:13, but I wasn't sure. It's Christ that worketh in us both the will and to do of His God that worketh in us both the will. And so God's the one that when I come to Christ, it's God working in me that gives me the desire and the power to do what he wants me to do. But before I came to Christ, I had neither the desire keeping it real, nor did I have the power. And I didn't want to say, okay, I'm going to become one of these in my mind. Back then, church people, I didn't know it was a Christian. I didn't know it was a follower of Christ, right? I went, I'm become one of these church people and act like I ain't playing with God, like I'm a bad person, but I ain't crazy. I ain't fixing to play with the One who created everything, right? And so, like, I resisted. And when I came to Christ and I saw all this stuff in the Bible, I started applying it. I promise you the doctrine that I've learned and that I understand, and I don't understand that much, but what I understand is helpful for me and hopefully helpful for some other people. Since I've come to Christ, I believe the primary reason God has revealed what he's revealed to me of his secrets is because he has seen that I am a person who has been applying and seeking to apply what I've been learning for the last since I was 16, I'm 61. So you invert that, you do the math and whatever that turns out to be right, you say, what are you saying? I'm saying God is not in the habit speaking to people who ignored him last time. He's not in the habit of teaching people who didn't do the last thing he taught them. Okay, you say, what does that have to do with the law of attraction in the Bible. I'm getting there. So when you teach it, you teach it at your pace. This is my pace. Okay. All right. So, so, so. So understand that dead faith is the second kind of faith. What is dead faith? Dead faith is faith.

Without action. Which means what? Which means. Which means that you believe it in your head, but it doesn't go to your heart. And if it doesn't get to your heart, it's never going to come out to your hands.

Like. Yeah, it's kind of like me knowing. It's kind of like knowing about something is not the same as knowing it. Are y' all tracking right? And so dead faith is the first kind. Faith without works is dead now.

I'll explain that later. Okay. Then he said, you believe God. Oh, you do? Well, the devils believe also. Demons believe also and travel and tremble. Okay, so demons believe. So we got another kind of faith. The third kind of faith is demonic faith.

Demonic faith? What? There's demon. I didn't make this up. Y' all read it. The you. You believe. Oh, you do? Well, but the devils believe also and tremble. Ain't that what it said? So what is demonic faith? It's faith that creates fear.

But not enough fear, not enough to change.

So it got down in your heart, but you refused to let it go to your hands.

Oh, snap.

Wait, what just happened? Well, demonic faith just happened. Well, what's the other kind of faith? The other kind of faith is the kind of faith that God desires to create in you. And he will create in you when you yield to him. He will create in me when I yield to him. What's that? The first kind of faith is dynamic faith.

What is dynamic faith? It's faith.

That.

Makes.

You act.

Okay, y' all saw my dyslexia in full force there. I wrote that S backwards. Okay, so yeah, so.

It makes you act. So when you have dynamic.

Faith that starts with God, you get a real bad case of the I can't help it. How many are tracking? Like, you gonna treat people good because you can't help it? You gonna be honest? Cause you can't help it. Right, Right. You're gonna be kind one to another. Cause you can't help it. Be kind one to another. To tenderhearted, forgiving one another. You gonna forgive folk? Cause you can't help it. Why? Because it started with God. See, here's the problem with the way most modern day quote Christians, church people, whatever you want to call yourself, here's the problem most people have, they either have Some dead faith. Yeah, I know. I know that. I know that. But I ain't gonna do nothing about it. Or they have demonic faith. They know enough to be afraid, but not enough to change. Usually people who are, like, committing some kind of iniquity. Okay, so let me go there for a second. You do understand that there's a difference between sin, wickedness, transgression, trespass and iniquity, right? There's a difference. God's not using those words, so he doesn't sound redundant, right? So there's a difference. What's sin? A sin is the word. Sin is always a sin of omission. It's something we should have done that we didn't do. That's a sin. The word sin is an archery term. It means to shoot an arrow at a target and the arrow falls to the ground before it reaches the target. That's why it says in Romans, chapter three, as it is written, there's none righteous. No, not one. For all have sinned and done what come short of the glory of God. Okay, so it means to fall short. That's what sin is. Okay. What's transgress? Transgress means to break the law. You actually did something that was against the law. So to transgress is to break the law. Thou shalt not. Thou shalt have no other gods before me. When you create idols, you've transgressed. You've not just sinned now, you've transgressed. So there's a difference. What's trespass? Trespass is when you go over the line, right? You go outside the boundaries. Now you've trespassed. By the way you say, Myron, I thought the Christian life was about freedom. That's right. But real freedom can only exist inside of boundaries. And to be free from anything is to be bond and bondage to its opposite. Understand that there's no such thing in this life as absolute freedom, right? You're either free from sin and bound by righteousness. Go read Romans, chapter seven. Or you're freed from righteousness and bound by sin. He's like, ah, I'm not going to. I don't believe in the Bible. I don't want. I don't. I don't like what it tells me I'm to do. Okay, well, somebody gonna tell you, I don't want anybody telling me what to do. You don't want anybody telling you what to do. Somebody told you to say that.

You think you ain't listening to nobody, but you are. You either listen to the world, the Flesh or the devil.

So, so back to this dynamic faith. What does dynamic faith do? How does dynamic faith work? Dynamic faith works like this. Some of you have seen this illustration before. I'm going to use it in the middle of this talk. Yeah. So I'm going to use it in this talk. So.

This is you.

This is a frozen.

This is a fact.

You or me, this could be me. We perceive the fact. We might perceive it with our eyes. Usually with our eyes. Especially when we have doubt. Right. Or we perceive it with our ears. So what's going to happen when I perceive this fact? Whatever the fact is, I'm going to put a frame around that fact. That frame is the context. I'm going to put a frame around that fact. And when I frame that fact because the fact has a positive side and a negative side, how do I know the fact, whatever it is, has a positive side or a negative side? Here's how I know. Have you ever seen a one sided piece of bread? Have you ever seen a one sided piece of paper? Has anyone in here ever seen a one sided coin, one sided pancake? No. Why? Because they can't exist. Not because they don't exist. It's impossible for anything to exist with only one side. So this fact, I lost my job, I got bad news from the doctor.

My spouse is divorcing me. What? You can fill in this with a. It is a fact. Here's the reality. We have no control over the facts. I mean some of the facts, like some, there's some facts, there are some facts we have no control over. But here's what we have control over. We have control over this frame that we put around this fact in the form of focus.

Frames create focus. So I put a frame around the fact and now what I'm going to do, I'm either going to focus on the positive aspect of the fact or I'm going to focus on the negative aspect of the fact. If I'm focused on the positive aspect of the fact, I'm going to be happy. If I'm focused on the negative aspect of the fact, I'm going to be sad.

Because.

When what's going to happen is now I'm going to create a.

Belief.

Here's what you got to understand. There's a positive aspect of belief and there's a negative aspect of belief. The positive aspect of belief is called faith. The negative aspect of belief is called doubt. Now I'm going to tell you something, going to be shocking. Faith alone is not enough. You have to have the right kind of faith. How do I know if I have the right kind of faith? Is that a good question? Well, you got, here's where it starts. Where did your faith start?

Where did it come from? If my faith came from the one who is faithful, then I'm more likely to have dynamic faith. But if my faith came from somewhere else, I'm more likely to have dead faith or demonic faith. So some people get their faith from the church. There are a lot of people who go to church. They get their faith from the church. They never read the Bible for themselves. They never study the Bible for themselves. They never do any word studies. They don't meditate on the word of God at all. They get all of their doctrine from what they think the pastor said. And sometimes maybe they got from what the pastor said, but the pastor didn't even think about what he said before he said it. Like, I'm, I'm not, I'm not judging pastors. I was one. I, I, I kind of feel like I still am one. That's my ministry gift is pastor, pastor, teacher, right? So I'm not, I'm not. But here's what the scripture tells us in James, chapter three. Be not many masters, be not many teachers. For in many things we shall receive the greater condemnation. Why in, in many things we offend all. We cause other people to stumble. Because sometimes we say stuff that we haven't studied. That's why I am so vehement. That's why I'm so, so intense about this whole concept of studying your content and knowing what you're saying before you say something, because somebody's gonna act on it as if it's real. Now watch this. If I say something to you about you and about your situation, that God says, you can have faith in that. But if I say something to you that I made up because I want to believe it, you might have faith in that. But that faith in that is not necessarily warranted.

Are you tracking? So your faith has to start in the right place? So here's one of the things I had. Here's one of the things I realized when I was a teenager. The more of God's word I have in my mind, the more resourceful I'm going to be. Because the more of God's resources I have.

Through which to evaluate every fact that comes into my life.

Are y' all tracking? Okay, so.

So faith. So if I focus on the negative, positive aspect, I have faith. If I focus on the negative aspect, I have doubt. So here's what happens? So let's say I got some dynamic faith.

Or maybe not. I just got some faith. Lord, when this belief travels down into my heart, it's going to create what's known. What I call. I'm going to call it a feeling.

In my heart. So understand this. The focus in my head creates a feeling in my heart.

This will change the game for you. Like. Like, for me. Like. So I had a phone call. I'm going to tell you. Like, I had a phone call with a doctor who did some blood work for me a couple weeks ago. And he told me something, some stuff I had never heard before in my life. It was the worst report from a doctor I've ever gotten in my life. Like, your cholesterol is high. This is low, and that's high, and this is low. And by the way, this is bad, and that's bad. I'm like, you talking about me, bro?

You noticed Myron golden, right? Right. Well, yeah. He knew, okay? I decided in that moment not to focus on the negative aspect of what he told me, but to focus on what the positive aspect of what he told me, which is what? I can do something about it. I am never a victim of circumstance.

Right? So I can do something about it. So now I have a choice. First of all, I'm going to choice what I'm going to focus on. Well, I got to change my habits. I got to eat less and move more. I got to eat more good stuff and last bit, less bad stuff. I got to drink more water, like. And I just decided, you know what? And then I've had this. I injured my shoulder back in March. I had a bunch of stuff in my hand. It was cold. I was in Boise, Idaho. And I have my briefcase, and I had books and I had my computer and I had my iPad and all this stuff in my briefcase, and I just grabbed it, and I was going to just throw it up because, you know, I used to. There was a time I could just grab it, throw it up there and, like, get in there, right? And I grabbed. I got.

And then my shoulder was withered. I was like, what happened? I heard a pop. My shoulder's been hurting me ever since. And it got worse and worse and worse and worse. And then I said, you know what? I just made up my mind last week. I said, you know what? No, this ain't how we gonna do it. Not me. Why I have a choice. I said, I'm gonna figure out something I can do. And I started going to physical therapy two times a Week getting acupuncture at least once a week, sometimes twice a week. And then I started working out because I realized something. I got four brothers who are Marines, right? And one of the things that they learned in the Marine Corps is pain is weakness leaving the body. Well, sometimes that's true, but sometimes it ain't true. Sometimes pain is showing you that there is weakness in your body. Can I get a witness? And so I realized this pain is showing me I got some weakness. So if I strengthen the weakness, here's what I realized. Like, if your shoulder joint is weak, now your elbow joint has to work harder, right? So one problem creates another problem, and then your elbow joints working harder. Now your wrist gets weak, and now all of a sudden you got this whole chain reaction. I said, oh, no, oh no, we're going to strengthen these shoulders. And I started working out like a crazy person. I woke up this morning at five o'. Clock. You know why? So I could work out. I have never been one of those wake up to workout people in my life. Wake up to work out. Nah. Exercise will be there when I get there, right?

I mean, I know what I'm wake up to work out. Not me, anyway, so I've been waking up. First I Woke up at 6, and then I realized I can't get my workout in if I wake up at six, I'm gonna wake up at five. I can always take a nap in the afternoon. If I don't play golf, I can always take a nap in the afternoon, right? So I said, I'm. This body's gonna do it. I was talking to some young person the other day. I said, here's the problem. We got too many in the people in the world where this right here runs this right here. And what we need is we need more people who let this right here run this right here. And then when we let God, who's up there in his word, run this right here, and then this right here is running this right here. Oh, it's about to be on now. Y' all picking up what I'm putting down. And so I said, there is a reason animals lower their mouth to their food. Because they are lower creatures. They are what they are. In fact, the Hebrew word for animal is bahema. In it is what it is. A horse is a horse is a horse. Of course. Anyway, some of you are old enough to get that. The rest, y' all look it up on YouTube, okay? So.

But human beings, we lift our food to our mouth. Why we're showing it's A demonstration that this is to serve this, not the other way around.

Anyway.

So we. Get a feeling in my heart. What's the feeling? It depends on whether the faith was. Whether the belief was belief or doubt. Now belief, here's what you got to understand about belief. Faith and belief are both. I mean, faith and doubt are both. Belief. Faith is belief in the outcome that God has spoken to me in the outcome I desire. And faith is actually belief in the outcome I desire. Right? Belief in the outcome I desire. Doubt is belief in the outcome I don't desire. Now here's what's really. Here's what's really interesting about the word desire. Like I like to use the word desire. Like I say I desire to have a success. I don't say I want to have a successful business. Why? Because the word want is a double entendre. Our subconscious mind can't tell the difference. Right? Whether I mean want I lack or want I desire. Right? Our subconscious mind can't tell the difference. But the word desire only has one meaning. What's the word desire mean? De Latin root day, which means of or from, and then sire, which means what? Father.

So when I have the desire of the Father, now I have faith. And so what happens is when I focus on the positive aspects of the fact manifest as faith, then it creates a feeling in my heart called anticipation. Anticipation. Anticipation. Anticipation. I know some of y' all thought is making me wait. I heard y' all thinking that, weren't you? You're thinking. I heard it. I heard y' all think. Okay. Anticipation. What is anticipation? Anticipation is. I'm going to define it. It's the energy I get when the outcome I desire. When the outcome I expect is desirable to me. I'm going to say it again. Anticipation is the energy I get when the outcome I desire. When the outcome I expect is desirable to me. So when I'm expecting a desirable outcome, I have this energy to do the thing, to take action. This is how life really works, y'. All. Right, Y' all remember when you were a little kid, Christmas Eve? And yes, I know Christmas is a pagan holiday for those of you who are going to comment on that. I know that, but I didn't know that when I was a little kid. And this is when the story is about, so calm down. Okay? So. So. So remember when you were a little kid, you snuck into your parents room or you snuck into the attic or in the basement and you saw what you were getting. Or maybe y' all were probably better kids than I was. I always snuck in to find out what I was getting. Right. And then on Christmas Eve my parents were very sadistic. So they always made us go to bed earlier on Christmas Eve than any other day of the year. Because for some reason they wanted to punish us. Because the next day was Christmas. I don't know. No, the real reason, they had a lot of work to do and they didn't want us to see us. They didn't want us to see them doing it. Right. So. But I knew what I was going to get. Now we got to go to bed at 7:30 and me and my six brothers, the only thing we could not do that night was sleep. Why? Because we had all this energy. Because we all snuck in there and saw what we were getting. Because the expectation of the outcome of the next day energized us and infused us with energy. Energy that night. Right. A lot of writers will say I have writer's block, but you don't really have writer's block. You really expect the book not to sell.

Are you tracking? I'm unmotivated to. I'm unmotivated to make sales presentations. You're not unmotivated to make sales presentations. You believe the people aren't gonna buy.

This is how anticipation shows up in our lives. Are y' all tracking? Okay? So you don't make the sales call because you believe nobody's gonna buy anyway. So you stay home and now your belief becomes a self fulfilling prophecy. Okay, so. But what if I believe in the more in the outcome I don't desire? It's going to create the feeling called anxiety. Now anxiety is the thief of your dreams. What is anxiety? Anxiety is wasting present energy on a future outcome that's undesirable to me. When I waste present energy on a future outcome that's undesirable to me. That's anxiety. Now here's the problem. Most people think they have fear when they actually have anxiety. And there is a difference in and fear and anxiety. But they feel the exact same. Oh snap. What just happened? What's the difference between fear and anxiety? The difference is fear is caution over a real and present danger. So in order for you to have fear, there has to be a real and present danger. If there is no real and present danger, there can be no fear. I have a fear of failure. There's no such thing as a fear of failure. You have anxiety over failure. I have a fear of success. There's no such thing as fear of success. You have anxiety over success. I have a fear of prospecting. You don't have a fear of prospecting. You have anxiety over prospecting. I have a fear of talking to strangers. You don't have a fear of talking to strangers. You have anxiety over talking to strangers. The difference is fear is caution over a real imagined danger. Are y' all tracking?

Anxiety is caution over a future imagined danger. So I'm imagining a danger in the future, and I'm reacting to it in my body in the present. And the reaction that I'm having in my body in the present.

Is causing me not to act. So track with me now. So what happens next is the focus in our head creates a feeling in our heart, and the feeling in our heart creates a function.

In our hands. What's the function? Well, it depends on what the feeling is. Right? So if the feeling in my heart is anticipation, the function in my hand is called power.

But if the feeling in my heart is anxiety, the function in my hand is called powerlessness.

And so now I feel like I can't do anything. So I don't do anything. So you say, Myron, I don't understand what any of this has to do with what you read in the Bible and the Law of Attraction. Here's what it has to do with. Faith without works is dead. So you believe something, but you don't do anything. Why? Because either. Because you don't have the right kind of faith. Right? You have. You either have dead faith or demonic faith like you could call anxiety would be a manifestation of demonic faith. Right? Here's what Jesus said. Take no thought for the morrow. Right? But that doesn't mean don't plan for tomorrow. It doesn't mean don't think about tomorrow. What does it mean? Go look it up. It means don't have anxiety over tomorrow. The word take no thought for tomorrow is the exact same word, Greek word, that's used in Philippians chapter four, where it says, be careful for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication. So here's what Jesus said. Take no thought for the morrow, for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself sufficient unto the day or the evil thereof. Here's what that means. Don't waste today's energy worrying about tomorrow's problems.

Like, why? What are you doing? But what if it doesn't work? Do you understand? What if it doesn't work? Is one of the most dangerous questions you can ask. The question what if it doesn't work? Causes you to find the answer that you sought for, which is, this is what happens if it doesn't work. So now you're creating this anxiety that's keeping you from taking action. So now you ask the question, what if it doesn't work? And the question, what if it doesn't work? Made it not work.

Are y' all tracking? So what does that have to do with the law of attraction? Okay, what color do I want to write this in? I'm going to write it in blue law.

By the way. So the Bible doesn't. The Bible doesn't use the phrase law of attraction.

Just so you know. And as most people speak about it, it's not biblical because they try to eliminate. They use it to try to eliminate God. So how most people talk about it like it does, it's hocus pocus. But the principle that they are attempting to convey, but they're removing the reason that it would work if it did work. What I'm about to show you, okay, because it all has to start with the source. God's the source. The source of what? Everything. Now, so the Bible does not speak about the law of gravity, but the law of gravity is real. The Bible does not speak about the law of momentum, but the law of momentum is real. The Bible doesn't have the law of energy conservation. Everything is energy. Energy is neither created or destroyed. It just changes form. But that's. That principle is still real. The law of entropy is not like. The law of entropy is not stated in the Bible. This is the law of entropy. Right? Okay. So understand the principles that show that and prove that are there. And if those laws are real laws and they really exist. They exist because God created them and he created everything from his word. So if they are real, you will. We will be able to find evidence of their reality in Scripture. Are y' all tracking? Okay, so law of.

Attract Attraction. In fact, I'm gonna do. I'm write attraction different. I'm writing all caps. A T, T Make the smaller Myron. Att.

Is that how you spell it? No, it's atr.

Att.

R A C, T, I, R. I made my brain slow down. Okay, so good. So what am I saying? How the law of attraction really works. Is this the law of attraction is really the law of. Ooh, this is so good. Law of attraction is really the law of. Oh, I did it wrong. Go back. The law of attraction is really the law of.

ATT. Action. The law of attraction is really the law of attraction. What do I mean? What I mean is when I. They say, think good thoughts and good things will happen to you, and you'll manifest it. Okay, here's what really happens.

When I'm focused on the outcome I desire and I'm expecting the outcome I desire, it energizes me to take action in the direction of that outcome.

But when I have more belief, more belief in the expectation I don't desire than I do the expectation I do desire, it robs me of the energy to take the action, and so I don't move. And that's why worrying about something makes it happen. So if I can learn. And by the way, this is something I have learned, and I'm still learning. If I can learn.

To only give energy to outcomes I desire, understanding that it has to be in alignment with what God has already spoken. If I only give energy to outcomes I desire, then what happens is that focus on that outcome I desire energizes me. I get a focus in my head. I'm focused on in my head. I get a feeling in my heart, this is gonna be great when this happens. This is gonna be awesome when this happens. When I get done with this book, it's gonna be a best seller. Oh, my goodness. When I talk to those prospects, oh, this is gonna be the greatest business I've ever started. This is gonna. Oh, this is gonna be the best year I've ever had. Why? Because I'm focused on the outcome I desire. And now I've got this energy. So what does that energy do? It energizes me to go and do the actions that are gonna make those things happen. So it's not that good feelings attract things to you. It's that good feelings, like when you're expecting a favorable outcome, it activates you.

To take action in the direction of the thing that you desire. And then the thing shows up in your hand. Manifest. There's the word manifest, right? It shows up in your hand. It's not magical. It's not mystical. And I mean, people try to make it that. But I just showed you how it worked. I would rather know how it works so I can work it right instead of. Instead of. Instead of just thinking that it. Hoping that it works. And now it's working me, right? One of the most challenging things you will ever do, but one of the most important things you will ever do is to only give energy to outcomes you desire and to act as if the only thing that's impossible for you is that something would be impossible for you that's not easy to do. And I'm going to. I'm going to end on this. Here's why it's hard for people to expect positive outcomes. I'm going to say it like this. Here's why it's easier for people to expect unfavorable outcomes than it is for them to experience.

Than it is for them to expect favorable outcomes. Because we know exactly what the unfavorable outcomes look like because we've experienced them so many times in the past. Past. So what do we do? We take our past experiences. We project them on the screen of our future. We recreate the past and think we're living in the present.

We take our past experiences. See, I know what it's like. I know what it's like. I remember what it was like to run out of money and have my electricity and my water both disconnected at the same time with a wife that's eight months pregnant. That didn't feel good. I know what that feels like. I know what it's like to go apply for a job and every. And another job and another job and everybody tell me no. I know what it's like to, to do presentation after presentation after presentation after presentation after presentation. And everybody says no, no, no. Yo, bro, no. So, bro, no, bro. What part of no you having a hard time with the end of the O? It's a two letter word, bro. No. Right? I know what that feels like. And so now you get enough no's and now you think everybody. Because everybody in the past told you, you know, you think everybody in the future is going to tell you no. And so what do you do? You don't take the action.

Right? So we take our past experience. We know exactly what all of it feels like. We know what it all looks like because we've all been there. But let's say you have a desire to build a six or seven or eight or nine or ten figure business. And I know there's people who think that's a wrong desire. Do whatever works for you, my friend. Okay? So you have a desire to build a very successful business. You've never done it before. You have no idea what it looks like. Therefore you have no idea what it feels like. But what you've got to do is you've got to take some of those things that you. Some of those reasons that you desire to experience it. And you've got to put those, you've got to close your eyes and experience them in your imagination.

So that your imagination energizes your heart. You say, myron, this whole thing that you got, it's in the Bible. This right here, this is in the Bible. Go read.

Romans 6:17. What does it say? You have obeyed from the heart. That form of doctrine which was delivered you. You've obeyed. That's the function in the hands. From where? From the heart. That's the feeling in your heart. The what form of doctrine. That's the focus in your head that was delivered you. Jesus himself said, if you know these things.

Happy are you if you do them. I'm not making this stuff up, y'. All. I ain't smart enough to make up stuff that's good. It's just fortunately for me and y', all, I'm a remedial reader. And when I read the Bible, I really read it really, really slow because I can't read it fast. And so I see things that people who are reading it fast can't get. Don't they miss.

So here's what we want to do. Here's what we all should want to do. We should learn how to give energy. And when I say give energy, I'm not talking about some hocus pocus, some people I don't like. Why are you using the word energy? Because energy is life. It's like, it is what it is. Everything is energy, right? But what happens is you either have negative. Like, you're either focused on something that's causing you to manifest negative energy. People talk about. But what about this whole thing about a vibration? Do you know what a vibration is in a human being? It's a feeling. That's what a vibration is like. And we've all said, I just didn't like their vibe. What does that mean? I don't like the feeling they gave me.

Right? Like.

Scientifically, vibrations, like light vibrations attract people, try to make it mystical, some mystical hocus pocus, airy fairy thing. And it's very, very practical. Faith without work, as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also. Now, here's the difference. That's a similarity and a dichotomy. Because the similarity is that, like a body that doesn't have a spirit can't do anything. It's dead, right? What is the spirit? The spirit is the energy that gives life to the body, right? But the works are not the energy that gives life to faith. They are just the demonstration of faith. They're how we can see that another person has faith. The scripture is not teaching that Abraham was saved by works, even though it says you can see how by works was Abraham saved and not by faith alone. What's the key word? You can see it. I can't see Abraham's faith without his works. God can see the heart, though. He can see the faith without the works. That's the difference. That's why Romans chapter three seems to say something different than James chapter four. It's kind of like the people say, why do. Wait, why does this guy talk about money all the time? It's in the Bible. And I don't need to be afraid of what it says. I don't need to be afraid of anything. Truth never has to be afraid of error. It never has to chase error away. It never has to silence error. Truth can abide in the same space at the same time as error. Error cannot abide in the same space at the same time as truth. It will either try to silence the truth, kill the truth, or eliminate somehow get rid of the truth. And that's why we have cancel culture and that's why we have political correctness. I've got a video coming out on that too, by the way. We already recorded it yesterday. Danger, Will Robinson. Anyway, I hope this blesses you. Like on a practical level. Here's the problem. The problem is we're talking about stuff we believe, but we ain't walking about stuff we believe, right? We're saying we believe things that we're doing nothing about. Here's what he said. Show me your faith without your works. That's called a challenge. You know why? Because you can't do it. I can't show you my faith without my works either. You know what's fascinating to me? I get a lot of religious people who comment on stuff on my channel and they don't like the stuff on tv. Jesus preached the gospel. There are people going to hell. Why are you talking about money? So if I stop talking about money, less people are going to go to hell. Doesn't make any sense. The two things have nothing to do with each other. It's like saying people are going to hell. Why are you sleeping at night? What's the difference?

One thing has nothing to do with another. Let's keep everything in its lane. Anyway.

I hope this blesses you on a practical level. Here's what I'm going to challenge everybody in here to do. Every time God reveals a truth to you that you need to do in your life, do it now. God shows you that you need to ask for forgiveness from somebody you've offended. Do it now. God shows you that you need to pay a bill that you've been ignoring. Do. Do it now. If God shows you that somebody's attempted to apologize to you over and over and you refuse to forgive them, forgive them. Now, like every time you find something in scripture that is showing you to do, if you will do it now, here's what's going to happen. God's going to show you some more stuff that's going to make your life better. But if you keep ignoring the last stuff he showed you, he ain't fixing to show you nothing new. He said, you ain't even done what I told you last time. He probably didn't use that voice, but I use that voice to help you understand it better. Okay? All right, my peeps.

I truly pray that you are blessed by the word of God. I want you to live your. I want you to live your blessed life. Why? Because that's what God wants you to live. The very first thing God did in relationship with man. And God blessed them. And then he said unto them, be fruitful, multiply, replenish the earth and subdue it and have dominion. So, anyway, I'm done for this week. Hopefully this helps somebody somewhere do something better than they were.
