let’s say you trust God for something specific in your life and you know that it is something good and positive and in accordance to the Bible.

For example: You might trust God for financial provision, a good job or independence, and it doesn’t happen. The question then comes to you “Is it God’s will for my life?”

Someone recently asked me this question: “I know that God wants to bless us all the time, in our finances, in our health and in everything we do. But the problem is that very often people talk about God’s will and how a lot of people in the bible were poor and suffering and they were people that loved God, for example Lazarus in Luke 16:19-31. Was it God’s plan for Lazarus to be poor and sick?”

First let me say that we are encouraged to pray and believe for anything, whether it is something we want or need:

Mark 11:23-24
Truly I tell you, whoever says to this mountain, Be lifted up and thrown into the sea! and does not doubt at all in his heart but believes that what he says will take place, it will be done for him. For this reason I am telling you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe (trust and be confident) that it is granted to you, and you will [get it].

Philippians 4:6
Do not fret or have any anxiety about anything, but in every circumstance and in everything, by prayer and petition (definite requests), with thanksgiving, continue to make your wants known to God.

Mathew 6:8
… for your Father knows what you need before you ask Him.

We have been created by God as co-creators on earth. This means that we will have the natural desire to always seek increase in our lives. One of the most common causes for depression is the fact that people have lost their vision for the future. They have accepted as fact in their minds the idea that their future holds no increase or change of circumstances for them. They have lost hope and feel stuck in what see and experience around them.

Sometimes, we might not receive what we ask for immediately. The reason is that we are on earth for the purpose of learning, growing and maturing our soul lives. We need to work on our motives and soul growth first to qualify and be ready for some of the things we ask for, but eventually, we will receive what we have asked for if we keep on believing and working in the natural to develop the opportunities presented to us from a higher Influence in order to make it happen. Many believe they can ask for anything and God will just supply it while they are sitting back and passively watching the horizon for the thing to appear from nowhere out of heaven, and if it doesn’t happen, they will say “It was not God’s will that I should not receive it” or “God said ‘No’”.

As we grow in soul maturity, spirit knowledge, and faith, we will find that our needs and wants become Kingdom directed. In other words, our motives, ideals and what we desire or have obtained by materialistic means, become subservient to our higher calling as co-creative souls with the creative Spirit of God. As we get attuned to God and come in line with God’s will, we then start to see provision, healing and blessings flow into your life as we adhere to one principle that is the most important pivotal spiritual key to a life of increase and success.

Everything you do in life, your work, your riches, independence, all should be directed to bring you into the right circumstances so that you can best utilize your God-given talents and abilities to expand and co-create with the Spirit of God with the purpose to expand the Kingdom of God on earth. The kingdom of God is first established and increased in your own life, your family and then in the lives of others that come in contact with you.
This is the ultimate key to success and increase, and specifically on a materialistic level if you objectively read this scripture within context:

Mathew 6:33 But seek (aim at and strive after) first of all His kingdom and His righteousness His way of doing and being right), and then all these things taken together will be given you besides.

These are incredible powerful verses we find in the Bible, and if it doesn’t work in your life, the fault is not with God or His promises, it is to be found within your own mind, your attitudes, your believes, your words and your actions. For any miracle or supernatural interference to manifest in the physical, our thoughts, words and actions must be in agreement. This is how faith for the supernatural is released to produce miracles.

The presence of God in you will increase in your life in all aspects and you become a co-creator with God, empowered to ultimately manifest His kingdom in this three-dimensional realm by means of the spiritual gifts resulting in miracles, signs and wonders as Jesus has demonstrated so wonderfully.

Meditate for a moment on these verses in the Bible:

Mathew 18:19 Again I tell you, if two of you on earth agree (harmonize together, make a symphony together) about whatever [anything and everything] they may ask, it will come to pass and be done for them by My Father in heaven.

Mark 11:24 For this reason I am telling you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe (trust and be confident) that it is granted to you, and you will [get it].

John 14:12-14 I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, if anyone steadfastly believes in Me, he will himself be able to do the things that I do; and he will do even greater things than these, because I go to the Father

And I will do [I Myself will grant] whatever you ask in My Name [as presenting all that I AM], so that the Father may be glorified and extolled in (through) the Son.

[Yes] I will grant [I Myself will do for you] whatever you shall ask in My Name [as presenting all that I AM].

John 15:7 If you live in Me [abide vitally united to Me] and My words remain in you and continue to live in your hearts, ask whatever you will, and it shall be done for you.

John 16:23 … I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, that My Father will grant you whatever you ask in My Name [as presenting all that I AM].

1John 3:22 And we receive from Him whatever we ask, because we [watchfully] obey His orders [observe His suggestions and injunctions, follow His plan for us] and [habitually] practice what is pleasing to Him.

1John 5:15 And if (since) we [positively] know that He listens to us in whatever we ask, we also know [with settled and absolute knowledge] that we have [granted us as our present possessions] the requests made of Him.

This spiritual power will not be released into your life before your soul (conscious mind) has not adapted and accepted as the highest law, the principles of the law of the Spirit (the highest law of the Spirit of God is love). Spiritual “head knowledge” or even knowing and practicing religious doctrine, is powerless if spiritual revelation is not meditated upon (Psalm 1) until it is the ruling and controlling knowledge in our higher, spiritual mind (the subconscious) and you are constantly progressing into greater harmony and “in tune” with God’s “mind and thoughts” (God’s will). Meditation and prayer brings us into oneness with the Father Spirit.

People who claim that it is God’s will for some to be rich and others not, or some to be healed and others not, should then explain if all these Bible passages are lies. If God lies, then He is not divine and He cannot be trusted at all.

Jesus said: “ I only do the will of my Father” – John 5:30

Did Jesus heal all the sick that came to him in faith – YES

Jesus said: “I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows).” John 10:10

Do you believe it for all aspects of your life, spirit, soul and body?
You can take the following scripture to your heart for provision in spirit, soul and body:

2Corinthians 8:9
For you are becoming progressively acquainted with and recognizing more strongly and clearly the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ (His kindness, His gracious generosity, His undeserved favor and spiritual blessing), [in] that though He was [so very] rich, yet for your sakes He became [so very] poor, in order that by His poverty you might become enriched (abundantly supplied).

Let us look at the case of Lazarus, the poor beggar, lying at the entrance of a rich man’s house in Luke 16:19-31

In this passage the story is told to contrast between the rich and healthy man, and the poor, sick Lazarus. Now what is the actual message of this passage of scripture?

1. To tell us that all rich men go to hell and all poor fellows go to heaven? No, Jesus is teaching the people that the condition of the heart, your spirit, and soul determines where you will end up. This is in contrast with what many on earth might view as success. Jesus is using this contrast between the false security in earthly riches and the meek and humble true nature of a man’s heart to bring the message over. The message is not against riches, but the fallen state of a man’s heart in contrast with his seemingly successful earthly life.
2. To tell us that it is God’s will for some to be rich and others to be poor and sick?
   This is even more ridiculous as nothing is mentioned in this passage that Jesus might have walked passed this sick man who was asking for healing, and then Jesus would have said: “No, it’s not the Father’s will for you to be healed, stay sick so that God can use your story to show that people who are sick and poor should be contempt with their situation”

So why was Lazarus sick and poor all his life? The Bible doesn’t say because Jesus told this story to emphasize the fact that we are saved, not by earthly status and splendour, but by the ways of our hearts, by faith and living for His kingdom by demonstrating God’s love towards others. What I do know is that there are other scriptures that directly address the issues of healing and abundant living. We don’t have to refer to a scriptural piece that in essence has nothing to do with the concept of poverty, riches or health, to try and prove something that contradicts the rest of scripture.

There are numerous other Bible scriptures that clearly and directly spells out God’s will for us to be healed and to increase in abundance, in fact, Jesus clearly states that this is the reason He came to earth; to show us the way into victory and abundant living by God’s grace while on earth. Grace is what we can obtain by faith. Math 6:33, John 10:10, Isa: 61:1, Luke 4:18, 1 Peter 2:24

If you have ever wondered what God’s will is, look at what Jesus did and taught. He demonstrated the perfect will of the Father. He healed all the sick and never lacked to pay for anything. He even increased food and withdraw money from the mouth of a fish when the money bag was not at hand. He also walked on water, calmed the storm and made wine from water and performed many other supernatural miracles.

Why are some good folks sick and/or poor in this life? Well, one passage states the following: So that God’s glory and love can be demonstrated through the miracles of healing and/or blessings. One example is the story of a man born blind, the disciples suggested all sorts of reasons for the man’s blindness, but Jesus said something very important:

John 9:3-4
Jesus answered, It was not that this man or his parents sinned, but he was born blind in order that the workings of God should be manifested (displayed and illustrated) in him.
We must work the works of Him Who sent Me and be busy with His business while it is daylight; night is coming on, when no man can work.

This is a clear example that it is God’s will to demonstrate His love through healing miracles. Shouldn’t we also demonstrate the same deeds of love and power in the lives of those in need?

John 15:16 You have not chosen Me, but I have chosen you and I have appointed you [I have planted you], that you might go and bear fruit and keep on bearing, and that your fruit may be lasting [that it may remain, abide], so that whatever you ask the Father in My Name [as presenting all that I AM], He may give it to you.

Well, to do that we also need to get ourselves healed and blessed in the process, don’t we?

So why are not all our prayers answered to heal the sick or receive what we want?

The answer is a simple one in my opinion:
Because we don’t walk on water yet like Jesus.

Why don’t we walk on water yet?
Because of our lack faith as Jesus has so many times pointed out to His disciples.

Why are we lacking in faith?

Because we don’t spent the time Jesus has spent in the presence of His Father every day and from youth to meditate and learn about the things of the Spirit (See also Psalm 1). We don’t enter into the “Secret Place of the Most High” (Psalm 91) where we can receive this faith, provision, blessings and protection and live a supernatural life as promised in this most powerful Psalm describing the supernatural life. On a soul level, we are not fully developed yet, we are trying to accomplish things in our own power and by our earthly intellect instead of believing we can walk on water, heal the sick, calm the storm, increase food, change water into wine etc. etc.

Our spirits can be perfectly saved through spiritual re-birth and becomes perfect and one with God’s Spirit. Our souls are saved through the process of the washing by the Word of God that we obtain be reading and meditating God’s Word. Only then can we start to apply these principles in our daily lives. We should buy out time in God’s presence to receive revelation and spiritual impartation.

To hide our own lack of spiritual power and shortcomings on a soul level, many would say that it is God’s will for this person not to be healed, or its God’s will that I am poor, or it is God’s will that this calamity has killed so many people.

Whenever I pray for someone and that person is not healed, I look into my own soul, and I can clearly see many reasons why I have failed… for if everyone was instantly healed, I would probably stop learning and developing on a soul level, I might even become boastful and my own ego might be become too big for me and others to handle. But thank God for the miracles I do experience so many times!

Every time I fail on a spiritual level, I go back to God, dissatisfied with myself and my lack of spiritual development, and then I try again, I seek for more revelation, I learn… and I grow in spiritual power.

Jesus said: I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, if anyone steadfastly believes in Me, he will himself be able to do the things that I do; and he will do even greater things than these, because I go to the Father. (John 14:12)

This is God’s will, for you and I; to grow in spiritual power and to live the same powerful life that Jesus was able to live on earth!

Ask, seek and knock to enter into God’s presence!

To help you in your soul journey to grow in God’s power, I have written this very comprehensive study based on the revelations and practical examples whereby I have tested and proved for myself, each and every principle over the span of more than twenty years. This is a book about miracles, signs and wonders and how to make them happen – Entrance to Power.

Entrance to Power

There is a huge amount of knowledge available about creative thinking and manifesting increase.  It is spreading like wild fire through books and web sites on the Internet nowadays. These teachings are based on the discovery that our very thoughts have creative power. Many writers and philosophers are writing and promoting their views about this phenomenon. How do we discern what is truth, and what is man-made philosophies?

The study of quantum physics has lead to the formulation of the Quantum Theory and we are starting to discover the possibilities. Scientific evidence of the behaviour of quantum particles and light is already giving us some clues. But how is this knowledge to be applied?

When I started to explore the books and writings based on the Quantum Theory, I was amazed at the widely different conclusions these philosophers would come to. Some of them went overboard, claiming the most extraordinary miracles, manifestations and wealth-creation abilities in an effort to entice others to buy their magic formula for riches.

Others go as far as to claim that we are now the “Masters of the Universe” and whatever we claim the “Universe” will jump to attention to obey and supply, I’m sure you have read these words somewhere before.

Reading some of these works and methodologies, I couldn’t help thinking of the supernatural manifestations, healing miracles and provision I had the privilege to witness and affect repeatedly over the span of twenty years, starting in 1998 when I was driven by despair to bridge the void between the physical and the spiritual dimension. Did I know anything about the Quantum Theory, the Law of Attraction or any other creative visualization methods back then? No, when I witness that first miracle before my own eyes, I just knew that I have somehow touched heaven in a way that I never knew was possible before.

Yes, I took the short-cut to the Source of Spiritual Power which I now refer to as my, ” Entrance to Power”.

Of course, my life would never be same after that experience. But this is another testimony and another story. You can follow this link after reading this article to read about my journey to discover the secrets for living spiritual and experiencing the supernatural.

Contemplating my life and the supernatural experiences I have had, I realized that the knowledge about the Law of Attraction, the Quantum Theory and mental creativity are all touching on a form of truth, but these theories are not the ultimate method or originating power that creates matter! There must is an underlying truth that is driving the clockwork.

There is a place where spiritual power creates an idea and form it in the spiritual dimension. This idea then exists in latent form in invisible space. If energized with energy from an external source, virtual matter can be manifested in physical reality. There is quavering horizon where physical matter fades away to be found in a virtual, but real dimension. Okay, I know, this may sound a bit unrealistic to some. Fact is that physicists can prove the existence of virtual matter and even make it appear in the physical through laboratory experiments.

But where does creation and matter comes from anyway? From a creative spiritual dimension, according to the Bible.

Meditating on this, I deducted that if one can discover the Source of power and can enter into this dimension of the Spirit of God to discover the keys that can activate or channel this creative power, the theories about visualization and attraction all become subservient to a higher power at work. It took years of meditation, study and contemplating to be able to formalize these spiritual truths into principles that can be logically understood and can be written down.  Living according to these principles and seeing the supernatural many times over the span of twenty years, I eventually decided to put everything I have learned in book form, and I am still learning… In this article however, I will highlight one aspect of spirituality that I believe many practicing the theories of creative manifestation, might be missing.

This knowledge is for everyone. It is for all of us , for those who love and trust in a higher Power we call God.

If you are not spiritually inclined, this part of the article might not find entrance into your heart. The true Entrance to Power I have found, the short-cut to spiritual power, is only to be found through the gateway of a renewed and energized inner man. God is Spirit, so is man. This is man’s connection to a creative spiritual dimension. And this channel can only function if enabled and empowered by the Spirit of the Creator Himself to create in unison and within the boundaries of the law of the Spirit.

God has given us everything pertaining to godliness already from healing to prosperity and peace and even immortality. But we have to obtain it His Way, not the way we think we should, bit it is our Inheritance.

As God’s representatives on earth, He created us with His own creative Spirit on the inside. The story of creation is given to us in the Bible to teach us who we are supposed to be and what role we are supposed to be fulfilling on earth.

God’s command to Adam was to be His administrator on earth, bringing order and increase into this domain of the universe. He blessed Adam and Eve, telling them what their purpose on earth was:

Gen 1:28 And God blessed them and said to them, Be fruitful, multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it [using all its vast resources in the service of God and man]; and have dominion over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, and over every living creature that moves upon the earth. (All biblical references from the Amplified Bible)

This means that we have been empowered to rule and reign over all of nature and to so utilize its resources, that we are not only to multiply in numbers, but to multiply and increase abundance in every aspect of life on earth.

Amazingly, this simple statement by Jesus highlights the fact that this was His purpose on earth also:

John 10:10 The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows).

Unfortunately, shortly after Adam and Eve received this commission form God, another spiritual influence that was not as ethical in intend, corrupted and skewed this Godly idea in man’s mind, changing it into something to serve, not God, but the temporary carnal self.

The enrichment and satisfying of self became many people’s driving force. Economic systems and modern society had fallen into this trap of creating a world where it is everything for self, many times at the cost of someone else or at the cost of nature and earth’s welfare. A self-destructive system of laws, rules and socially accepted practices that stimulate this idea, and humanity is well on its way to achieve this evil goal!

The purpose of spiritual power is not to serve self at the cost of others (see the difference in contrast with many books on creative thinking?). Real spiritual power will create increase in your life, but in a way that it can serve a greater call; to expand God’s idea of creation on earth.

How can we take hold of these blessings?

By Speaking it!

When you speak these truths and powerful words from Bible scripture, that what God has in store for you, starts to take form, just like God spoke and created the universe in the beginning. When you speak blessings by prophesying, you are manifesting those blessings in your physical realm from virtual reality. You may enjoy it, but never forget the greater plan and purpose to expand God’s kingdom according to Mathew 6:33.

Keep on speaking these truths and don’t stop. Never stop!

Make time and space for these blessings in your life, they are there for you to claim.

The manifestation of the blessings will happen in God’s Way, not always in ways that we might assume it must. You are part of a greater plan, God’s plan, and He knows what is needed in your “world” and other people’s “worlds” at any given time and place. All endeavours to create should be driven by love, love for God and His creation. This is an underlying foundation for true spiritual power!

To help you to use Biblical truths in order to manifest abundance and health in your life, I have included this word of prophecy below. (Words of blessings below are all based on Bible Scripture and promises):

So keep on speaking them and don’t get weary by doing so!

Remember, it is not the recipe that will do it, it is your heart and love towards Him. If you feel you are short on faith – don’t worry, just trust Him, that is Faith!

GOD’S BLESSINGS

(speak these words audibly! Be bold!)

I am part of the people that’s called blessed.

God has given a Word towards me, for me, plans that He has planned for me of blessings. So in blessings, I will be blessed. In multiplying, I will multiply.

I know the plans that God has planned for me - Peace and a prosperous future. I declare it out loud; I put the Word on my lips that the Lord is my Shepherd, and this good Shepherd laid down His life for me.

And because Jesus died for me, I can now LIVE for Him. Jesus came that I might have life, and have it more abundantly.

So, I declare today that I have abundant life bubbling on the inside of me. This is my testimony, the testimony that God has concerning His Son.

I have eternal life.

I am blessed beyond any curses.

Nothing can hurt or harm me because I am dwelling in the Secret Place of the Most High. I am following the Good Shepherd into the very Mercy seat of God where I will find, I have no more wants. Goodness and Mercy are now following me.

I have now length of days.

Angels are now encamping around me. God is fighting my battles for me, so I don’t have to fight them myself. That makes me more than a conqueror, and I am able to do all things. For God is for me and I know nothing can be against me.

I am only above, and I am not beneath. My ways are prosperous, my ways are successful, my ways are according to the Word of God. Blessed, blessed, blessed!

I’ve got victory 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

I’m living in total victory!

I’m healed because Jesus received stripes so that I don’t have to be sick.

My heart is free from wounds and hurts because He was wounded for my transgressions. Bruised for my iniquities, the chastisement that brings me peace was upon Jesus. Therefore I know the crucified Christ means power to me. So, I thank the eternal Father, Christ died on a cross.

That spells to me, LIFE, HEALTH, WEALTH, PROSPERITY, PEACE.

God is gracious and merciful towards me, and more than that: God is gracious and merciful towards my sin. God has decided to remember my sin and iniquity no more. So, I am covered and clothed with a robe of righteousness. I’ve got a garment of praise and joy for the spirit of mourning and heaviness, I’m glad in the Lord. I’m happy in my Maker.

I only receive good gifts from now on, because the Father of Lights is now my Father. And He only gives good gifts and perfect gifts to His children.

Because I am a child of God, all other stuff must now go!

I am now living in a life of abundance. Every area of my life is blessed.

My prayers are answered, my faith is honoured.

My trust has rewards because it’s all in the Most High God, who is my Father, and because I as an earthly parent knows how to do good.

God’s going to do much more for me. Because He’s a good, good God.

I’m not living on my performance, but because of trust in God, He is performing His Word on my behalf. That makes me victorious, conquering, prosperous, successful every day of my life!

Everything that I have, everything that I do, everything that belongs to me will be prosperous.

I’m going from strength to strength, and I am changed from the glory of the old to the glory of the new.

Christ is rising up in me, gaining full stature.

I am perfected by Grace & Mercy.

I’ve got what it takes to make it. Christ in me, the Holy Spirit is my anointed, my teacher and my guide, so everything that is not of God, is destroyed in this day.

I’m safe, because of Grace.

In Jesus name, I’m anointed and this anointing will teach me in all truth.

I’m going to make it with flying colours. I’ve got eternal life, everlasting life, continuous life, immortal life because of Jesus. Hallelujah!

I’m focused, I’m centred with my eyes on Jesus, the author and finisher of my faith. He started the things in me, and He’s going to finish and perfect it.

So, I say hallelujah, for the Lord our God the Almighty reigns!!

AMEN!!!

(Scriptural references from The Amplified Bible, the prophecy listed above was spoken by Prophet Kobus van Rensburg from Spirit Word Ministries in South Africa)

Many books and teachings exist on the subject of the power of positive thought and visualization, and with good reason.  There is a lot of truth in the concept of creative visualization when combined with faith.

Unfortunately, hidden within many of these teachings is a great and dangerous flaw that will lead to many disappointments for the spiritually uninformed.

There are limits to our mental creativity and power of thought.  The reason mental creativity is limited, is because it is not the ultimate level of authority and it is actually only a sub-activity or a gateway towards the higher dimension of spiritual power.
