Think of God. Review some of the things that you know to be true about Him – His perfect goodness, infinite intelligence, all presence, limitless power, unbound love, and so forth. Claim that God, who is all those things, is with you – and believe it.
Read a few verses of Scripture or any spiritual book that helps you.
Say silently that you forgive everyone who may seem to need it; without exception or mental reservation – and mean it.
Claim that God is now inspiring you, teaching you, and healing you. Claim that He is giving you the greatest of all gifts – HIMSELF – because having Him you will have everything else too.
Give thanks in advance for the peace of mind, the harmony, and the spiritual growth that is yours – and mean it.
Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the most High (Psalm50: 14)
The act of believing is one of the most powerful things a human can do. It is from belief that nation’s rise, that creativity springs forth and that fear and doubt emerge. In the truest sense we are what we believe we are, and we will become what we believe we shall be. But one may ask, “How do we get to the point where we believe in something like God that we can’t prove exists”?
There are many ways to achieve belief. For some, they use a mental version of the scientific method. The scientist develops an hypothesis, tests the hypothesis and draws a conclusion based on the results. We can do the same by developing the desire to believe in God, then test the desire by acting according to God’s will and then draw our faith from the results. You can be sure that if you follow the will of God as described in the Bible, your desire will grow into a belief. There is a much simpler way that works for many. They just choose to believe and faith follows. Regardless of the path we choose to believe, once on the path, we must claim all that God has promised…and mean it. If we build it, he will come.
Claiming all God’s gifts,
