The Power

I have been talking with God this week about any final barriers to my financial success. Over the past couple of years I have removed (through The Light Method of prayer and meditation) many of the problems and issues that have held me back. So this week I have felt like I’m at the starting gate of a race, waiting in something like that apparatus used at horse races. All of the preparation has been done, everything is ready for the starting gun to go off, but there was one last small barrier before me – as in the starting chute.

So I spent some time a couple of days ago getting to the bottom of it. How I do this is part of what I teach in Turning on the Light – Finding Your Luscious Place in the Spirit (www.lusciousplace.com).

I came to realize that the problem is not really about money at all but about power – the power to make choices about my own destiny, to demand and expect better treatment, to be able to make enough to pay for my own needs or to look after myself, to get wealth, to make important decisions. I don’t mean independent of the Lord, but independent of what anyone else wants for me which might take precedence over what I want for myself or what God wants for me.

If I have the power in my own hands, that means that I can do what it takes to create the business I want to create. If I allow someone else to have power over me in any way, then I am hampered in what I can do. The power does not lie in my own hands or my own being.

This is a profound realization, and I’ve been mulling it over and seeing how it feels owning the power to get wealth. What it means is that circumstances can no longer dictate my standard of living. I have the power to change it at will. So these verses came to mind – “all power is given unto me” (Jesus), and God “gives me the power to get wealth (so that he can establish his covenant in the earth”).

If God has given me the power, then I already have it. If I already have it, then I have no business letting some other person have my power; it belongs to me because God gave it to me. If I have the power to get wealth yet I’m not using it because I allow someone else to steal it from me, then whose fault is that? Mine.

I must own my own power to get wealth and I also then have a responsibility to use that power to get wealth. If I, and others like me, are copping out on using our power to get wealth, then the covenant will have a hard time being established, won’t it?
