“Have faith in God,” Jesus said to them. “Truly I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.”
– Mark 11:22-24
Maybe you think Jesus is bunk. OK, what about Joe Dispenza and Bruce Lipton? Deepak Chopra and Louise Hay? Or perhaps Oprah and Tony Robbins? Napolean Hill and Zig Ziglar? Heck, even Lance Armstrong.
It’s finally starting to sink in.
Belief. Faith. Disbelief. Doubt.
Thinking and acting as if. Believing it is before it is. Faith creating. Mind over matter. Ask, and ye shall receive.
I’ve read that passage from Mark a thousand times. I’ve read the books, listened to the podcasts, and watched the YouTube channels of the other names above a thousand times.
The light bulb is starting to glow. Dim, but the filament is warming.
Knowing that it comes from God, the universal energy, through you, into existence.
So simple yet so difficult for this engineer to…believe.
