You Get What You Believe You Deserve
You
are such a good person, always trying the best you can to live a moral and
righteous life. Never intentionally hurting anyone and making great efforts to
be your neighbours keeper.
And
yet, many a time, you wonder why the good things of life you feel you deserve
do not come your way.
You
see others that you think you are better off than hitting it well on life but
you, things don't go the same way for you and you wonder why?
Well
the truth of the matter is - you are not going to get anything out of life that
you don't really believe you deserve.
Now,
this belief is not the one that you mouth - it is the one that you FERVENTLY
hold and daily ruminate in it.
It
is not enough in life to live morally and ethically. You must also be mentally
straight.
You
must have a positive self-image in order to receive the blessings of life!
I
am often asked the question, "Why Do The Righteous Suffer?" In other
words, "Why do seemingly good people suffer?"
You
can be morally and ethically straight and correct, but if you do not know how
to positively relate to your emotions and the processes of your mind, you will
suffer.
So,
it isn't enough just to be a good person. You must have a proper self-identity.
You must fervently believe that you deserve God's goodness.
So
"Why do good people suffer?" Because they don't believe that they
deserve God's goodness.
They
ask for God's goodness in their prayers, but down deep, they don't believe they
deserve it.
If
you don't believe you deserve God's goodness, what do you believe then?
At
the subconscious level are you believing you deserve the opposite of
good?
Maybe
that is why you aren't getting the good you desire.

A Fearful Mind Will Always Draw
Suffering
As
we all know, corona virus is on a rampage all over the World right now and many
a man has become afraid of going out to public places and crowded places.
That
is the sensible thing to do right?
Yea
right
However,
2 days ago I met a man - in his 70s who said he was not afraid of the virus
because he knows that God will not allow him to be infected since he is a child
of God.
So
I asked him, if he would willingly allow himself to be put in close contact
with a person who is confirmed corona virus patient and he replied that he
would do no such thing because he does not want to tempt God.
I
put it to him that he was exhibiting fear of contracting the virus.
Those
of us who are Christians and very conversant with the story of Job would
remember that God was very proud of Job because he was a man after His very Own
Heart and thus God allowed satan to tempt Job.
And
thus in one fell swoop - just in one day, all that Job laboured for all his
life went with the flaming fire - Job's children were taken away, his health
was taken away, and his wealth was taken away.
Why
did all these things happen to Job, a righteous man?
I
ask you, was Job really righteous (meaning right thinking) or was he simply
religious?
When
Job got the news of the vanishing of his earthly possessions he declared,
"The thing I greatly feared has come upon me." (Job 3:25) And that is
exactly what got Job - "The thing he feared."
Just
like some of you, you don't know why you feel so bad. But you go around afraid
of what might happen; filled with worry and anxieties, you go around with your
feelings dragging in the dirt.
So,
like I said last time, it isn't enough to be moral and ethical
You
must have the correct self-awareness. You must know yourself and learn how to
control your thoughts and feelings. This is what I mean by 'righteous'. You
must be mentally straight! You have to learn how to lift up your feelings - how
to lift up your emotions. Learn to control your own thoughts and feelings and beliefs
about yourself.
You
have to learn to go inside of yourself and develop a positive self-image and
positive self-esteem.

Nothing Can Come To You Unless You Draw
It
Many
times, things happen to good religious people and people who think they are
righteous, and they don't understand why.
They
say, "Now why would this person do me out of this?
Why
do these 'things' happen to me?"
If
somebody is always doing you out of something, watch out. It means that
somewhere in your subconscious psychology, there is some kind of negative
belief.
It
could be the belief that you are not deserving. Nothing can come to you unless
you believe you deserve it, and nothing can go from you unless you believe you
don't deserve it.
You
are not going to get anything that you don't really believe you deserve
And
if you do appear to get something that you really don't think you deserve - you
think it's too good for you - don't worry, it will slip away.
Somebody
else will come along and take it off your hands.
So
it is very important that you think you deserve the best.
You
Are A Child Of God
Your
belief about yourself should be based upon your knowledge of who and what you
are in God, and who and what God is in you.
You
deserve the best because you are a child of God.
