Day 5 ...Lent thought for today..Dr Norman Vincent Peale

[kayte]

Mark 11:24
That is why I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it and it will be yours.


To pray successfully you must employ affirmation and visualization.
Form a picture in your mind,not of lack or denial or frustration or illness
but of your prosperity,abundance,attainment,health.

Always remember you will receive as a result of prayer exactly what
you think.... not what you say
Practice believing even as you pray that you are receiveng God's boundless blessings

Kayte, my first thought when I read this was loa (law of attraction). Maybe I'm not understanding this devotional. I do know that we must believe that we'll receive what we are asking for but I also think God does sometimes answer you even when you don't believe that you'll get what you are praying for. It's His way of showing you who He is. I do love these Lent devotionals. Please keep them coming.

I think loa is a commercialized concept borrowing heavily from the bible but does not give
proper credit and practice where it is due to the One who created us...
and instructed this way of teachings as integral to the Christian principles of faith,hope love

...the abraham people's (loa elders) most popular book is ask and receive(!)
imho...

Norman Vincent Peale wrote The Power of Positive Thinking decades ago l
long long before loa
and back when Secret was a only a deodorant ..lol

TPOPT... based on Christian biblical principles,Dr Peale took it further as an active hands on practice

I also think God does sometimes answer you even when you don't believe that you'll get what you are praying for.

oh absolutely..I've been blessed this way

Mercy withholds from us what we deserve
Grace gives us what we do not deserve
Romans 5:20

I do love these Lent devotionals. Please keep them coming

Everyday I am looking for your next post by him, I am Loving this.

very grateful the devotions are speaking to us......
