Have you been living in a state of confusion as to what your purpose is?
Let me begin by telling you that, we were all created to fulfill a specific purpose . We were all created to do something amazing and unique that can only be fulfilled by YOU!
Our vision of what our purpose is clouded when we allow the opinion of others to rule what we should be doing with our lives. Just because everyone in your family is a medical doctor that does not mean that you have to become a medical doctor becuase of family traditions. If that is not your song, you don’t have to play it.
Your purpose is clear and loud, you just have to listen quietly to what that inner voice is saying to you. Don’t let your vision be clouded by, “I can’t make a living doing that”, “I have no guarantees that this will work this time since I have failed in the past", or “What is my wife going to think”, “I just don’t know if I can do this”
Remember that desire is God tapping at your door saying, “express me, and let me out”
Don’t be afraid of living your dreams. Know that the clarity you seek is on its way. Your pathway has already been planned. You just have to trust!

Fact VS Truth-Part 1
Fact: The fact is you’re broke. Your financial status is depressing. It’s a viscous cycle for you. It’s always the same-paycheck to paycheck, and more money going out than coming in.
Truth: Your bank account does not determine your prosperity. The truth is God is your unlimited source. You were created in the image of an abundant God; therefore, you always have abundance.
God came so that you could live life, and live it abundantly. Not so that you could be broke and live in despair.
Many people begin to fear and tighten up when they see the funds in their bank account drop. When in actual fact, the drop in funds represents circulation.
What is circulation? It is inflow and outflow. That means when an inflow of finances occurs, it is perfectly normal to have an outflow.
Money is a spiritual concept and circulation must take place in order for us the have a healthy economic structure.
When you think about our bodies, circulation must take place within our bodies in order for us to survive. Without this process we would not be able to live for very long.
Just as this circulatory system within your body is automatic-you don't need to remind your heart to pump blood. The outflow and inflow in your finances is automatic as well. That means when an outflow occurs there will be an inflow.
However, the inflow is deactivated when thoughts of fear begin to overtake you, and the negative thoughts of, “I don’t have enough”, “I can’t afford that” become what you focus on.
Don’t judge life through your five senses- through what you can only see, touch, smell, taste and hear. What you see may be a fact, but it is not the truth.
Instead, focus on the truth. The truth is you have abundance of all things. You have abundance because you were created in the image of an abundant God.
If you find that you don't have enough, ask big. Be specific. The bible says to ask, and what happens when you ask? You will receive, and that my friend is a law! This law is universal.
It is the same for the person living in China, Brazil, Ethiopia or the United States.Remember, outflow=inflow. Prosperity is your divine right.
All the riches in the world are yours they only await your acceptance. (Raymond Barker)

Fact VS Truth-Part 2
Fact: Nothing is going your way. You don’t like your job. You don't like the people you work with. Or maybe, you don't like the way your business is going. And, at the present moment you can’t possibly find anything in your life to be grateful for.
Truth: Be grateful for this moment. Be grateful for what you have now. The truth is, when you are in a constant state of gratitude, gratitude brings you closer to the source of all your blessings.
Gratitude keeps you connected to the power of God.
Newton's law of motion states- "For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction."
This statement means that the more gratitude you express this causes the blessings from your creator to be released.
However, you need to be genuine with your expression of gratitude. Don't do it just to get stuff. Be sincere and thankful for all that God gives you.
Everything that God has given you has advanced your life.
When good things come to us, the more gratefully we fix our minds on the Supreme Power, the more good things we will receive-and the more rapidly they will come. Wallace Wattles
So, if you are ever feeling depressed or unhappy shift your focus by expressing gratitude for all the wonderful things you have in your life.
And at the same time express gratitude for all the things you are going to receive. That is how your faith is developed and increased.
When you can believe that God is going to meet the desires of your heart inspite of what your current results are screaming...That is Great Faith!
Someone may say, “I have nothing to be grateful for”. There are so many things to be grateful for, what about this newsletter that you are reading? Start with that.

Fact VS Truth - Part 3
Fact: This all sounds good, but how do you change the current results you are experiencing?
Truth: You are a spirit being, and for you nothing is impossible. You serve an unlimited God.
I am going to give you instructions that will get you where you want to be. If you follow these instructions you will achieve the beautiful things that you desire in your life.
Step One: Know what you want. Be very specific. Don't be afraid to ask big. Nothing is impossible. The bigger the goal the better.
Step Two:Begin to focus on what you want. When you focus on what you want, you give it energy and whatever you focus on will manifest.
Affirmations help you focus on what you want. Affirmations develop and increase your faith. Affirmations are positive words to yourself about yourself. Affirmations help you get rid of the negative thought patterns in your subconscious mind.
Repetition of an affirmation is the only known method of voluntary development of faith. Napoleon Hill
In order for your affirmations to be effective, you need to say them as often as possible and with emotion. Don't just read a statement. Feel the words that you are reading at the very core of you.
Repetition is key. Say your affirmation out loud when you wake up and before you go to sleep. The more times you say it the better.
Get a tape recorder or a digital voice recorder and record a series of affirmations. With today’s technology you can record your voice over the phone and download it as an mp3 which you can burn on a cd or on your ipod.
You can listen to your affirmation while driving, excersing, and relaxing. For this capability go to http://www.voice2page.com/learnmore.php?offer=signup&affil=8872632 .
Remember that repetition is the first law of learining.
Sample affirmations to record:
- Money flows to me easily and effortlessly
- God’s bounty surrounds me, and his supply is always manifesting itself to me in the form of whatever my need may be at the time.
- I always have an abundance of money and an abundance of whatever it takes to make life happy and opulent.
- My cup is always running over, and I now have more than enough to meet my needs, more than enough for my investments.
- I give thanks for the immediate, complete payment of all my financial obligations in God’s own wonderful way.
- Everything that I think, say, or do is governed by Divine Intelligence and inspired by Divine Wisdom flowing through me. Everything I do is blessed. I am daily guided and I know what to do under every circumstance by the divine presence in me.
- Each and every day, in every way I am growing richer and richer.
Whatever is repeated will become a habit. This is how you will begin to form a prosperous self-image.
Step Three: Visualize your goal as already achieved. Visualize yourself already doing the things you would do once your goal is achieved.
Visualization helps you form cells of recognition in your mind. You have a power that is always channeling itself to you. You channel this power when you visualize.
Think about it for second. When you look at a building, think of the blue printing that occurred before the final product was created. A building did not just show up one day.
Visualization is your blue printing. This is how you channel the power which is always flowing to you. If you need help with the visualization and affirmation process, there is software that helps you with this process.
All you need is a computer and 10 minutes out of your day. This technology has been tested and proven to increase the power and speed of manifestation.

Step Four: Give thanks. Gratitude keeps you connected to your source who gives all blessings. Be grateful for the good you are receiving.
Step Five: Get coaching. Working with a coach will help you keep accountable to your goal.
Step Six: Relax and let go. Don’t try and figure out how your desire will be manifested. The how is none of your business. Let God do his work
Step Seven: Take inspired action. You will be inspired to act. If you feel you need to go somewhere, buy a particular book, call someone. Just do it! God is leading you and directing you towards your goal.
Step Eight: Love yourself and thank God for creating you.
Peace and love,

You Were Born Prosperous
Do you believe that the amount in your bank account determines your prosperity? If your answer is yes, it is incorrect. The money in your bank account does not determine your prosperity.
Society teaches us to measure our prosperity by the amounts in our bank accounts, the size of our investments, or our net worth.
In essence, this is not true because:
Society teaches us to measure our prosperity by the amounts in our bank accounts, the size of our investments, or our net worth.
In essence, this is not true because:
1. You were created in the image of an abundant God.
2. You already have abundance because you are abundance.
3. Money is a spiritual concept and circulation must take place.
What is circulation? Basically it is inflow and outflow. It is Inflow of money and outflow of money. You cannot only have inflow of money. Circulation needs to take place in your finances. Why? Because circulation is necessary in order for us to have a healthy economic structure. While there must be an inflow of money into your bank account, an outflow of money must take place as well.
When the outflow occurs, many people see the reduction of funds as a sign of depletion. Fear of loss begins to set in, worry surfaces, and they are followed by negative self talk like “I am broke,” “I don’t have enough money,” “I can’t afford that,” and “I’d better not buy that.” These negative states of mind stop the inflow from taking place. Thus, your negative thoughts and words stop the circulation because when you ask, you receive exactly what you are asking for.
When you begin to understand that this universe is never static, that it is always moving, you will then see that circulation is necessary in your finances.
Think about it for a second. God designed us in such a unique way that we do not force the circulatory process to take place in our bodies. It happens automatically. The same automatic circulatory process takes places in our finances. Outflow=Inflow, Inflow=Outflow. When you have an outflow, you are making space. You’re creating a vacuum for the inflow that is going to take place.
Are you discouraged by the lack that surrounds you? I have good news: you can change your negative thinking in an instant. You have that power. The moment you have a negative thought, get rid of it and take up the opposite side: the positive. Affirm in your mind that money flows to you easily and effortlessly, over and over again. Say it with feeling and emotion. Believe it! The first law of learning is repetition and once it is embedded in your subconscious mind, you will see the flow begin to come through.
However, it doesn't only require thinking positively. You ar going to need to change your consciousness about money. What are your feelings about money? Do feel you that it is a sin to have money? Do you feel that the rich only have money? Are you afraid to spend the money that you do have? Be honest, because whatever relationship you have with money will determine if you will attract it or repel it.
If you choose to live in fear, or worry about the money that surrounds, whatever you fear will manifest. When you despise paying your bills or become depressed when you write a check for your mortgage, you are focusing your energy on what you don’t want. More lack, more depression.
Instead of focusing on the amount in your bank account, or what is going out, begin to focus on the amount of money you would like to receive, express gratitude for what you already have, and watch avalanches of money begin to come your way. Fear is the opposite of FAITH!
God came so you may have life and have it abundantly!
Peace and love.

Prosperity Is Your Divine Right
We are all familiar with the words prosperity, prosper, and prosperous? What do these words mean to you?
To me, the word prosper means the extent to which you are experiencing happiness, health, wealth, and abundance in your life.
Prosperity allows you to experience financial abundance, a balanced personal life, expanded knowledge, happiness, and a deeper spiritual walk. (Catherine Ponder)
Prosperous living creates a fulfilled and abundant life for you.
Do you think you can live an abundant life?
Let me go ahead and answer that question for you. Yes, you can. We all can. This is the life that God intended for us to live. It is clearly shown in the Bible when Jesus said, “I came so you may have life and have it abundantly” (John 10:10). Jesus did not say that he came so that you may be broke, unhappy, or lacking. He said, “I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future” (Jeremiah 29:11).
If you are living anything far from an abundant life, know that you are not living the life that God has intended for you.
When you look throughout the Bible and study its great leaders—Abraham, Moses, Jacob, Elijah, Elisha, David, Solomon, and the virtuous woman in Proverbs—you see that they were all prosperous. They knew they had access to the abundance of God. They understood that no good thing would be withheld from them. They tapped into the POWER. The power of God that is more than sufficient to meet any need.
My dear friends, I am here to tell you that God is still the same. He has not changed. You can tap into that same power and you also have the same access to God’s unlimited abundance.
All the riches in the world are yours; they only await your acceptance (Raymond Barker).
Let’s get down to the dirty truth about poverty
Poverty is a spiritual blindness that causes man not to see the unlimited abundance of God. Poverty causes addictions, unhappiness, depression, and it drives intelligent men and women to live a life of abuse, crime, and unhappiness. Poverty drives people to do things they would never imagine themselves to do. (Catherine Ponder)
God is good—only good exists in him—and we are created in the image of God. Our purpose is to glorify God. Think about it for just a second: what use would a broke, poor, lacking person be to God? How would that glorify him? From this, then, you know that poverty is a state of mind because God is good and all that is of the Father is good.
This means that YOU choose whether or not you will live an abundant life or not. It’s called free will. God clearly shows an example of free will in Deuteronomy 28:1 when he states, “If you fully obey the LORD your God and carefully follow all my commands I give you today, the LORD your God will set you high above all the nations on earth.” Furthermore, Deuteronomy 28:15 states, “If you do not obey the LORD your God and do not carefully follow all his commands and decrees he is giving you today, all these curses will come upon you and overtake you.”
The choice to have or have not is yours
How do you make that choice? By obeying the commandments of God. By knowing and thinking the truth. The truth is that prosperity is your divine heritage. As a child of God, you have rights. You are and have always been prosperous, and you have access to ALL the abundance of your infinite source, God. The lies that you have fed yourself about prosperity, such as (1) prosperity is only available to a “select” few, (2) you need to have a certain degree, or (3) you need to have X amount of dollars in your bank account in order to be prosperous are ALL lies. Prosperity is a state of mind. It is not determined by your race, education level, or net worth. It is determined by your thoughts.
You cannot live a fulfilled life unless you are prosperous. If you are living anything less than that, you are living abnormally. God created YOU and when he was done, he said it was very good. This tells me that when he created you, he equipped you, and God has made his abundance available for you.
So if you are living abnormally, know that you can live a normal life. All it takes is a decision. Decide right now at this moment that you choose to be prosperous, that you choose happiness, you choose peace, you choose abundance, and you allow all these things to become a part of your everyday experience.
Your first step is making a decision to have what is rightfully yours right now, TODAY.
Remember…
Life is an act of faith. Struggle is optional (Iyanla Vanzant).
