Matthew 16:26 is a warning from Jesus about focusing on
money which is the core to The Secret’s teachings:
For what is a man profited, if he
shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in
exchange for his soul?
The biggest problem with learning the Law of Attraction is
one becomes very materialistic. They twist Jesus’ teachings to show He teaches
the Law of Attraction to better one’s self to make it seem like materialism is
ok. The problem is as you become well off, we all tend to drift from God. This
is why Jesus spends so much time pointing to rich and talking about money.
If you focus becomes all about the GOLD and not about helping
others, the Law of Attraction will continue to work, but we will become
separated from God. You look at the Ten Commandments and they tend to focus on
more mental things that separate us from God. In a way all tend to point to the
last commandment of “thou shalt not covet”. Most other commandments start with
that and then proceed to the act.
So if you explore and try to control your thoughts to create
your existence, make sure you remain focused on God first and HIS will, that
way you will understand more how The Secret works. You will understand why some
things happen quickly and others take time, sometimes a very long time. You
will see how God works in our lives and how we need to remain in His will.
The most important thing to remember is not to get lost in
manifesting wealth and treasures. One can easily do that and lose all focus on
life, I think of 2007/8 when the economy took a dump. 12 Stone was growing and
doing things that most churches would think was nuts. I remember one service
they gave everyone $100 to use in the community. They did not take note of
everyone grabbing the money, they literally put it all on the altar and you
would come and grab it.
They did this in faith and huge things happened in the
church, they grew in an economic slowdown. They used the “Law of Attraction”
that Jesus taught, not what has been perverted by the occult. 12 Stone’s focus
was not to teach people to get money from the church but rather to use that
money in the community for GOOD. They taught us that once you remove the focus
on just money, but rather doing God’s will with the money you attract more.
That was one part that was hidden in the law, those who give
on faith always seem to have enough. They always seem to have more than enough
to give. Personally that is when our largest growth in wealth happened, when we
stopped focusing on saving for the crash, but giving for the kingdom. I can honestly
say giving someone randomly $100 is FUN!! It’s worth every penny to see the joy
on their face, we just need to ensure they understand that joy is noted as
spreading of God’s love.
