Suppose for a moment, that you were a police investigator. You go in to the office of your supervisor and say to the boss, “Chief, I have some evidence in that case we have been working on. I feel that it is enough for us to make an arrest.” Your boss says, “Great, what did you find?’ You reply, “Well, there’s just one thing. The evidence, it’s there, but you just can’t see it. We’re gonna have to present our case to the DA and tell them the evidence is there but they just can’t see it.” Well, there could be several responses from the supervisor, none of them particularly pleasant. Definitely could imagine you being put on admin leave and them scheduling you for a visit to the department psychiatrist. In successful manifesting efforts however, this is precisely the case. You have to fully “buy in”to the desired results as real, as real as the nose on your face, before you actually get to see the results. It ain’t easy Magee, but — if you can pull it off, you’ve won the grand and glorious jackpot — the ability to manifest every sort of good thing into your life.
Let’s examine those concise yet incisive words from the book of Hebrews, chapter 11 — Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Now the word “faith” has been tossed around every which way over the centuries. Faith is an extremely strong and effective power in your life but it can definitely be misplaced. One of the most famous examples of misplaced faith is the tragedy of the followers of jim jones and the drinking of the kool-aid at jonestown. Also, the ubiquitous guy in the psychiatric facility who thinks and believes and has faith that he is Napoleon is another case of misplaced faith. Something has gone wrong with his mind. I ain’t no psychiatrist and I don’t have all the answers to everything. Nevertheless, over the millenia that human beings have walked the earth, all manner of things have indeed been manifested millions upon millions of times via the avenue of faith. Faith — The actual substance of what your heart hopes for. Faith —the concrete evidence even though your eyes cannot see it. This is the stuff that true power consists of. And the fact of this matter is that you, right now, have full access to this faith stuff — if you so desire.
The formula for manifesting laid out in the book of Matthew, chapter 21, is so simple, so uncomplicated, so concise, that most human beings in this world of ours, zoom right past it. Believe…..Receive. In case it got by ya, I will repeat it — Believe…..Receive. You may immediately say to this, “Oh, you just don’t know what I have been through. I believed and believed and it never came true and the disappointment was crushing.” You are not the only one to have walked down that particular road. I can tell you from first hand experience that when I say I have been crushed by disappointment, it was like I was in one of those auto junkyard “car-crushers”. However, like a bee to honey, subsequent prayer just led me right back to those same words in the book of Matthew: Believe…..Receive. That Inner Voice that the Quakers talk about also said to me, “and this time pal, get rid of all those nasty doubts and fears that you’ve got hidden under the bed”.
The evidence of things that you know are there but that you just can’t see them. I think the gist of the whole thing is, you might not see them, “but you can choose to feel them” — if you so desire. In a nutshell, this is the seed of every manifestation you undertake in your life.
