Bil & I believe prosperity is living faithfully, joyfully, and confidently at the speed of your Christ consciousness. That’s our definition! When you do that, you are in a place of KNOWING that you will never lack, regardless of what situation or appearance of lack life may throw at you!
True prosperity is the consciousness of God as the inexhaustible, constant, everywhere present resource, unfailing and ready for all. God is not a Being out there withholding our good; it is us who are not truly embracing the principles which allow us to receive our good.
We’ve heard so much about Prosperity – so why isn’t it always working for us? It just might be because we don’t truly grasp the foundational principles. We get some of them, some of the time – but just imagine what we could do if we got them all, all the time! So we would like to offer the metaphor of pillars: imagine 4 strong, solid pillars, supporting your prosperity consciousness. If any one of these pillars is weak or missing, it just won’t hold up and support your complete prosperity Consciousness!
Over the next several articles, we’ll be discussing these pillars – what they mean, the Truth Principles behind them, and a few practical ways to begin demonstrating each one, to make it LIVE for you! Let’s start with the first pillar.
Pillar 1: Demolition!
Sounds extreme? It should! Think about the popular TV show Extreme Makeover, Home Edition. Before this famous crew can begin building the perfect home for a deserving family, they need to implement a Demolition of the old house. But they don’t just tear it down in a boring way. This team creates a CELEBRATION out of the demolition process. That is the spirit we want to approach our demolition pillar – not with any guilt, regret, or shame. Celebrate the decision to release what is blocking your good, so you are open and receptive to receive what is yours to have. Demolition is really important, because it is a visible symbol that we believe in God as the inexhaustible source. We are releasing, letting go, knowing that something far better is there for us. We need to create some demolitions on four levels: Physical; Mental; Emotional; and Spiritual.
PHYSICAL Demolition: The physical world of things is an outer manifestation of what’s going on within us, so it is very important to be aware of it. When our outer world is cluttered, unorderly, and overwhelming, it is a signal that we are out of sync on the spiritual realm. So we want to practice the act of demolition on the physical clutter in our life, releasing things that are no longer serving us.
Giving stuff away is good, but here’s an adventure that will really amp up your Prosperity Consciousness. Look around your house and find one thing you like, but that you are not using at all. Then think about someone you know who could use it, would absolutely love it, and would truly get great joy from having it. Then give it to them. Free, no strings attached. For the joy of giving!
(Example from Cher: My mother had a beautiful set of green crystal etched goblets someone gave her and my dad as a wedding gift. They NEVER used them – they were too fragile and beautiful for everyday use. She gave them to us, and we love them; we use them often, just to drink water from! She gets excited every time she visits, and sees them being used!)
This week, look for ways to perform a “Demolition” on the physical realm of your being. Release things that are no longer serving you and see what happens!
Next article, we will explore the Mental Realm for Demolition!
Revs. Bil & Cher continue their series for June, entitled “How to Become a Spiritual Techie!” ~ focusing on some of today’s most popular technology as a metaphor for the incredible spiritual growth tools we have at our disposal, for instant connections and high speed access!
