The Law of Attraction: Reasons of Failures and How to Make it Work

Since The Secret, a book that reintroduced the Law of Attraction, was published, there are so many people trying to apply it. Several people testified that the outcome was remarkable, but their numbers were only a few people. More people have failed in using the power of the law.

So what causes the failure? From a lot of analysis done by some other writers, and also from my understanding of the sources of law, the Bible, several causes of the failure are:

1. They fail because they only focus on the law, not on who makes the law is functioning properly. Logically, we can accept that a law like the law of gravity, must have a creator. I would say that God is the maker of that law, and in specific I would say that it was Jesus who made it, because something does not exist if He did not make it exist. They fail because they do not involve God to take part so that the law of attraction works fine in their lives.
2. They fail because they do not seek to eliminate the negative thoughts that really have the power to sabotage or weaken the desire or dream.
3. They fail because they do not harness the power of their subconscious mind, to affirm the desire or dream repeatedly, either to others or to themself.
4. They fail because they do not realize that negative thoughts have a powerful role in influencing the subconscious forces to ignore their dreams. Job is an obvious example in the Bible, as he always prayed for his children because he feared his children had sinned against God. Every morning he would even sacrifice a burnt offering for Each of Them - Job 1:4 b. In fact, all their children die because of natural disasters. This led him to say: “What I feared has come upon me; what I dreaded has happened to me.” – Job 3:25.
5. They fail because they do not have strong reasons for the desire or dream. When they were asked, for example, why they wanted the dream, they usually do not demonstrate that they have strong reasons or a passionate desire to meet them.

Once we know the five causes of the law of attraction failures, we will be able to conclude what we should do.
1. Use the faith to know that the invisible is more real than the visible. This would prove that we acknowledge the existence of God, which is not visible, as the source or giver of blessings which will grant our wishes and dreams come true. Written in Hebrews 11:3: "By faith We understand that the universe was formed at God's command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible."
2. Point your faith into the main target. There is a fairy tale, where an angel willing to help a poor man. The angel offered to give whatever being asked by the poor, but limited only to three requests. Then the poor asked for food. The angel was using a stick to provide the requested food. Then the angels asked what the second request. The poor ask for new clothes, and the angel was using his stick to provide the required dress. Angels ask the third request. The poor man asked for the stick at the hands of the angel, because he thought if he has the stick he will be able to provide all needs. Similarly, we need to come to the one who is able to provide everything for us, namely God.
3. Faith has two sides. One side is an expectation or hope, and the other side is doing. So, we should not only expect something but also must work to show that we are ready to receive what we expected. James says that if the faith is not accompanied by action, is dead - James 2:17. The acts are also included a plan for our lives forward. We have to set goals and strategies for achieving that goal. We also need to develop ourselves to build our personality. Like the new wine should be placed in a new bags. As written in the Bible: “Neither do men pour new wine into old wineskins. If they do, the skins will burst, the wine will run out and the wineskins will be ruined. No, they pour new wine into new wineskins, and both are preserved." – Matthew 9:17). For a change in life, as a result of the realization of our dreams, we certainly need new personality as well.
4. After doing the work and bore fruit, what you get should be shared to the needy. Work is a gift. So when we work not just to fulfill our dreams, but also to share. Working and sharing should be the motto of our lives. The Apostle Paul writes as follows: “He who has been stealing must steal no longer, but must work, doing something useful with his own hands, that he may have something to share with those in need.” – Ephesians 4:28.
5. Reject all negative thoughts or all the bad predictions. We must “close the door” from the possibility of criticism or things that will weaken or sabotage our dreams. Read my testimony in the case rejected a prediction at people-mastery.com.
6. Repeatedly announce our dreams to anyone, especially while still lying in bed before getting up early, or just before go to bed at night. I myself witnessed how the power of the subconscious was working when I say it over and over again until my wife had come to support my dreams with her faith (read at http://www.people-mastery.com). Therefore, involve your spouse to participate in your dreams.
7. Have a good reason for your dreams. A strong reason will build a solid determination within you. If we have no reason to reach for our dreams, try to relate them to a noble goal such as sharing with the needy, as described above. So the dream must also be associated with a greater compassion.

With this brief review I hope we can increase the number of people who successfully use the power of the law of attraction and may you also be included in the group of people who can manage it. May the Lord be with you in achieving your dream.

When my wife also have same faith

I once worked for a bank owned by the Indonesian government. I worked at the bank since 1976. In 1990, after I worked for 15 years, I was offered by the Human Resources Division Head to be appointed as branch manager at one branch in Sumatra. I declined the offer and asked if I could be placed in one of the overseas branches. At that time the bank has overseas branches in New York, London, Paris, Hong Kong and Singapore. The HR Manager had said that to assign someone in a foreign branch is not under his authority but the Board of Directors.

Since then I always tell my dreams to anyone, to co-workers in the same department and to colleagues in other departments. I also told my wife. Strange enough, my wife was not interested in my ideas, even said that if I were to be transferred to overseas branch, she would not come along, and will return to his hometown, which is Medan.

In early January 1993, while celebrating the new year, my wife and I visited one of the director at his home and expressed my desire to be assigned to one of the overseas branches. My request was rejected by the director. He said that, I do not qualify for the position. That I had never been a branch manager in one of the local branches and my TOEFL score is still below 500. I have been working in the back office for quite long, which is 8 years in the audit department and 2 years in the information technology department. In the IT department I was responsible for running the quality assurance of all systems purchased or developed. It is also my responsibility to revise the policy and procedure manuals in the bank because of the arrival of information technology. An important job which not many people likes it.

The rejection did not make me disappointed. I even tried to improve my English skills and also my knowledge about international banking, especially those subjects which are related to the operation of foreign branches. And came to my surprise, my wife was also challenged to support my dream. Her faith grown when she also prayed for my dreams to be achieved.

Not too long since my wife also believe that my dream will come true, which is about in July 2003, I was determined to become deputy branch manager of New York branch. A few weeks before the decision, the Board of Directors received an examination report from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, which states that the New York branch being downgraded to unsatisfied since all the manual was never updated. The accounting reports that must be reported to the Fed still have a lot of errors, and the non performing loan was high. The Fed stated in the report that the license can be revoked if the deficiencies are not corrected immediately.

When the Board of Directors search the database to find a senior official who has experience in accounting, credit, audit and have the ability to write and rewrite policies and procedures manual, which will be assigned to a branch in New York, my name appeared at the top of the list. In the early years with the bank, before transferred to audit department, I had been assigned as a credit analyst in the credit department, and also had served as accounting manager at the branch of Jayapura in West Irian.

What I have described above would indicate that when only I have the dream and faith, my dream was not realized. But when my wife also dreamed and believed, in just 6 months that dream came true.

Not long ago in a bible study, long after I returned home after retiring from the bank, I discovered something interesting in the Bible – the new King James version. In Hebrew 11:11 written like this: "By faith Sarah Herself also received strength to conceive seed, and she bore a child when she was past the age, because she judged Him faithful who had promised."

We know that at first Sarah, wife of Abraham, did not believe that she would conceive and bear children. That's why she laughed when God delivered his promises to Abraham. It appears in Genesis 18:12: So Sarah laughed to herself as she thought, "After I am worn out and my master is old, will I now have this pleasure?" Sarah disbelief caused the promise to not be fulfilled by God. But once Sarah also believes, then the promise was fulfilled by the Lord. This paragraph made me realize how important a couple to share faith in God. The experience I have described above is a confirmation of the truth of God in Hebrew 11:11.

I learned that the law of attraction does not work for a couple if only one party alone who have the faith for it. A couple should have the same dreams and faith to be able to achieve it. In determining the important things in a family life, it must be mutually agreed, then there will be success and happiness in the family.

The Bible records how much God blesses those who agree, especially married couples. Jesus himself, in Matthew 18:19, says "Again, I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything you ask for, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven." And the Psalmist in Psalm 133 written as follows: 1 Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! 2 It is like the precious oil upon the head, Running down on the beard, the beard of Aaron, Running down on The Edge of his garments. 3 It is like the dew of Hermon, Descending upon the mountains of Zion; For there the LORD commanded the blessing-Life forevermore.

My testimony is going to take you to the promise of God to consider that so many in the Bible, such as among others:
- In Matthew 7: 7-11, Jesus said: "Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. 9 Or what man is there among you who, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? 10 Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent? 11 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!" So, keep asking, seeking and knocking.
- In Mark 11: 24, Jesus said: "Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them."

Let us be like Sarah who judged Him faithful who had promised.
May God send his blessings to the house that all members basil and agree in many respects.

How to Be a Billionaire: Proven Strategies from the Titans of Wealth

How to Plan for Your Financial Future?

You have to save money consistently over a lifetime to have a fortune life. My reference is from Prov.21:20 (LB) “The wise person saves for the future. The foolish person spends all he gets.”

You are accountable to God for how you spend your money. That is why you have to handle your money and put a plan together!

How do you plan your financial matters?
1. Increase your income. Read my article about Work and Make Money
2. Control your spending. Establish and live by a budget. A budget is a plan to spend money. It provides limits and boundaries, which give security. Use a basic plan – the 10/20/70 plan. Give the 10% to God. Use the 20% for your future. Put this in a long-range savings investment fund. Let it grow. Use the remaining 70% for your normal life expenses, including paying your debt.
3. Save for future. Ants are creatures of little strength, yet they store up their food in the summer (Proverbs 30:25). Save hard as you work hard.
4. Avoid the impulse buying or compulsive spending. Be content with what you get from God.
5. Pay your debt. You have to plan how to be free from debt.

This is a simple way in managing our finance, but not many people can walk this way.

Work and Make Money

Why we have to work? Because we were created to rule all creatures in the world. Human work is the means by which we can stay alive. We need to work (hard and smart) and earn some money. The key to generating income is diligent work.

Why do we need money? Because money can not just come by itself into our wallet. There are a lot of things we can’t do if we don’t have money. Money is not bad in and of itself. It depends on whose hands, a righteous person or a bad person.

Hard work leads to God’s blessing. Do not be lazy. We need to work as an ant and consider its ways (Prov.6:6). It is wised to increase our income little by little and it is advisable to have more than one source of income.

Why is it important for us to work heartily as unto the Lord? – Colossians 3:23. One of God’s law is ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' It means that whatever we do, seek to do it with excellence. We have to work in totality. We must take responsibility for our lives.

Diligence brings wealth and profit. Every prosperous person in the world was a diligent worker!

Diligence brings happiness. Every person who work with love and joy will feel the job easier and his or her performance will be increased. Do your very best for God. Do it with joy, great intensity, integrity, and with a co-operative attitude.

Do everything to the glory of God. He will be honoured, and He will honour you in the workplace.

The God secret

Did you know that all things on earth are subject to their own laws? One example in agriculture is "the law of sow and reap." You will reap what you sow. Among all of the laws there is a law that became an umbrella where all the Law hanged on. This particular law called as the greatest commandment: 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself. All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments’" - Matthew 22:37. This commandment is not only a source of other laws, but also as the cause of that commandment will be fulfilled, when all laws are done.
And On The 8th Day God Created LAW CLERKS Youth Zippered Hooded Sweatshirt Fleece Jacket ASH GREY MEDIUM
Did you know, when to apply the greatest commandment, it begins with fulfilling the second law? Paul himself said: "The entire law is summed up in a single command: 'Love your neighbor as yourself'" - Galatians 15:14. Paul seemed to understand what was taught by Jesus to His disciples: "So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets" - Matthew 7 : 12. This verse is called the golden rule.

This blog will reveal the secret of secrets to become rich by observing all the law, especially the golden rule.
