Everything God has created is made of energy. The only difference between an atom of a tree and an atom of a mushroom is that the atom of a tree has energy that is vibrating at different frequencies than the atom of a mushroom. It is evidently clear that the same particles growing together in a tree, or in a mushroom, are because they are vibrating at the same frequency.
Everything is made up of energy, including thought. Thought is energy vibrating at a particular frequency. This has been proven in scientific laboratories. With proper instruments, scientists can measure the frequency of thoughts, or brain waves.
Thoughts are powerful forces of energy and can only come from your own mind, and we should understand things do not just happen accidentally. Everything that happens in your life happens for a reason. Since you are the only one in charge of your mind, you create the thoughts that create the circumstances in your life.
Most of what you are experiencing has been attracted by your own thoughts, for the bible says, “As a man thinks, so is he” (Proverbs 23:7). Since your thoughts create reality, you create your reality. So making excuses and casting blame only make you out to be the victim. There is absolutely no power in playing the part of a victim.
I understand that it can be very difficult to change the pattern of thinking you may have engaged in for so long. It’ only a habit, and habits can be changed.
Instead of thinking thoughts of fear, dread, and worry, think thoughts of peace, happiness, and positive expectation. Easier said than done, I know. But, like I said, negative thinking is only a habit - a bad one.
Job had engaged in negative thinking and attracted all kinds of garbage into his life. He said, “For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me” (Job 3:25). You obviously don’t want the things you fear to come upon you. So, quit sending out vibrations of fear! Make a decision that you will only use your imagination for positive thoughts. Fear and worry are only the mis-use of the imagination.
God has given you an awesome resource - your mind. Also, He has given you free will to choose what you will do with your mind. Use it responsibly! He said, "I set before you life and death, blessing and cursing, therefore, choose life" (Deut 30:19).
It really takes no more effort to think positive than it does to think negative. Like I said, thinking negative is just a habit. A habit you must break if you want to live an abundant and prosperous Christian life.
Whatever it takes to break the bad habit of negative thinking you must do it. Maybe it will mean you having to break off some negative relationships. Maybe it will mean you having to turn off the television, or the radio. Understand that your association is vital to your well-being. Like attracts like and you must send out vibrations of thought at the same frequency as the things you want.
The simplest way to attract the things you desire is to hold a mental picture of what you want as long as possible and as often as possible. Feel that you already have what you desire with certainty and you will see it become manifested in your life.
In summary, our thoughts are vibrating energy and we create what we want by focusing our thoughts on those things. Jesus said in Mark 9:23, “According to your faith, be it done unto you.”
