Encounter -Part III (Special Edition)
And for everyone who has been staying tuned in to the different descriptions that I've been using, everything all boils down to one thing, MY PERCEPTION! The way I see something determines my response, my attitude, outlook, and my aptitude. Most times in life we tend to hear things spoken over our lives but rarely do we ever take the WORD in dare to allow the word to grow so that it can be BIRTHED in our lives. Why is this? Why do we continue to go through the same drama, year after year, month after month, week after week, and day after day? Don't we expect more?
This is a question that we have to ask ourselves because this is where God meets us, at our level of expectation. If we don't expect to be transformed, we never will be transformed. If we don't expect a breakthrough to take place in certain areas of our lives, then they never will take place. What I'm saying isn't deep and doesn't take a rocket scientist to interpret but what we do is we continue to doubt that we can do better. Once we doubt, it's over and done. Once we open the door to let doubt and second guessing come into play we are now defeated before we begin because we have framed our world but what we have spoken. When we speak damnation we are sowing bad seeds and then have the nerve to wonder why we are in the same place year after year.
You still don't understand? Okay, let's go back to the movie that I discussed yesterday, The Matrix. In the movie, Neo second guessed himself for the entire movie and had to continue to go to everyone else for their opinions. Throughout the entire movie he was "on the run" he couldn't rest because SOMETHING was after him. The SOMETHING that was after him knew more about him than he did. DID YOU GET THAT? THE THING THAT HE WAS FEARING THAT HAD HIM ON THE RUN KNEW MORE ABOUT HIM THAN HE DID. (HMMMM???) Think about that for a moment. How many times in life have we run from the very thing that could take us to the dimension that we have desired to get to? How many times have we been afraid of the very thing that was pre-ordained to take us to the "next level?"
Well, Neo continued to run and be afraid until something awakened on the inside that was, I believe, sick and tired of being sick and tired. In other words, enough was enough. Neo, as I explained yesterday, didn't put forth any effort once he woke up and walked in who he was.
My question for you to ponder is, how long will you fear the very thing that is afraid of you? How long will you continue to go in circles because you are worried about the outcome of the situation? In some ways, it can't get any worse than it already is, right? So why not just face that THING that you've been afraid of so that you can move on and BE who God ordained you to be?
This is yet, another way to look at what THE ENCOUNTER was all about. The bottom line is you can only run from yourself so long before you hit that brick wall within that forces you to look at yourself naked and exposed, just you, yourself, and God. Once this takes place, you will see, just like Neo did that the answer to the equation of the MATRIX lied within his mind. In other words, for many of you the only thing standing in the way of You walking in your destiny is YOU. Remove yourself from the equation like Neo and let things be, it's much easier that way.

GOOD ONE!!!!!
Rich B, you're on point once again! People get the same thing day after day, month after month, year after year because they are attracting this into their lives. Think about it. People often wonder why they are in this relationship, this job, their financial position. It's because that's who they BE. "People are poor because they just BE poor" (Randy Ward). Same with the rich, they just BE rich. What we say and think about the most becomes our reality. Start thinking positive thougts and positive things will manifest in your life. The universe will realign itself to give you what you desire. Stop going around saying I can't afford this or I can't do this. Once you do, guess what happens? Those words become your reality. The law of attraction is powerful and real. I was at a conference in Dallas last month and one of our speakers mentioned that he was going to give us each (2,000+ people) $1 million dollar bill, just don't ask for change. The next day at the airport, on our way back home, a young man came up to a group of us attending the conference and gave each of us a $1 million dollar bill (of course it wasn't real:-). He belonged to the same organization Kirk Cameron belonged to. For you youngins, Kirk was a teenage actor in the sitcom, Growing Pains (1985-1992). The point is that this was attracted in our lives and it came to be. I encourage everyone to watch The Secret. This movie talks about the Law of Attraction in great detail. You will have a different outlook on life once you see this. You can go to www.thesecret.tv. God Bless!
