God Is Love by Alan Tutt http://www.KeysToPower.comGod is Love, and so being, can only be reached through Love.
A friend and I were talking recently about
Power of Prayer and why it is so important to hold
feeling of Love while praying. The reason that most people don't get
answers they seek in prayer is because they pray while feeling hurt, angry, lonely, or guilty.
Prayer is more than
act of making temporary contact with God, however, and every moment of our day counts towards
overall 'prayer' of our lives.
When most of us think about God, we think about an Infinite Being, with Infinite Love, Wisdom, and Power. Few of us ever acknowledge
Divine nature of
people and things we experience daily. And yet, with a little logic, we reach
understanding that everyone and everything we encounter is an expression of God.
Let's consider this for a moment, and see where it leads. I'm sure
result will astound you.
Most accepted creation stories begin somewhat like "In
beginning, God created
universe and everything in it." If God created
universe and everything in it, what did He use to create it with? Since most of us will agree that God was
only thing that existed before
universe was created, then logic shows that
only thing God could have used to create
universe was Himself. And so, God took a part of His own essence to create
universe and everything that exists today, including us.
This is one of
basic teachings of
Keys To Power. When you understand that you are a manifestation of God (created from God's own essence), you have a much easier time creating whatever experiences you want in your life through prayer. Students of
Keys To Power will recognize that
essence of God that was used to create everything was Power itself. This essence can be called anything, but since it is
basic Power we use to direct our lives, calling it Power is a matter of convenience.
But Power is not
only aspect of
essence of God. Love and Wisdom are also 2 very important aspects of this perfect essence. And just as we are manifestations of God's Power, we are also manifestations of God's Wisdom and Love.
One of
techniques in
Keys To Power system is to tap into
Infinite Wisdom of God. The only reason that this technique works is because we ourselves have all of
qualities and characteristics of God within us. Thus, we have
capacity for Infinite Wisdom, and can make use of this to make wise choices in our lives. Not sure which job opportunity to take? Confused by all
choices of business opportunities that are available to you? Wondering if you should marry
person you've been dating? Tap into
Source of All Wisdom within you and find all
answers you need.
The question that comes up
most is "How do I tap into
Source of God within me?"
Growing up in a country that is primarily Christian oriented, most of my experience is with that religion. I also tend to run into more people who profess to follow this religion than any others. And so, I will use it mostly for my examples. Other religions usually have similar teachings, and so I will leave it to
practitioners of these other religions to interpret what I say in terms of their own religion.
In
Christian Bible,
ministry of Jesus
Christ had 2 main components. Love and Faith. Christ taught that as long as we had faith, then whatever we asked for in prayer would be given to us. But He also said that we were to love everyone, but most importantly, to love God "with all your heart, with all your mind, and with all your soul".
Many of His followers were able to perform
same miracles that He Himself performed - healing
sick, casting out 'devils' (curing mental illness as modern people would see it), and more. Considering this fact, then
message that Christ was teaching must be
central Key to tapping into
Power that we seek. And if this is so, then just by following these 2 simple principles we should be able to perform even minor miracles, such as increasing our financial prosperity, developing better health, creating harmonious relationships, and attaining peace of mind.
But as many people ask, "How do I have faith?"
This was a question I struggled with myself for many years. The question can be rephrased to be "How do I believe in something I've never experienced?" This question led to some startling answers. It came down to 2 options. Either 1, you simply choose to have faith, which means that you pretend that you believe, or 2, you hypnotize yourself into believing.
Many people are able to use
first option, and in fact, most of
New Thought Movement is based on this idea. Affirmations and affirmative prayer are both based on
idea that we can choose to believe in something we've not yet experienced. But these techniques are also somewhat hypnotic in nature. Students of most New Thought systems are taught to repeat their affirmations over and over again until they see results. The constant repetition is a standard hypnotic principle, very similar to how advertising persuades you to buy things you don't really need.
