Wealth & Prosperity – Can your mind Produce?
I’ve received some great comments on the Mind Renewal/Transformation posts. What can these things get you? It’s a popular question, one to which the answer is far to long for any blog! For the sake of a teaching, I’ll summarize it: Wealth and Prosperity! Just like any other blessing, these things can come in many forms – it’s up to you to really pick them out and capitalize on them. As Master Prophet, I, Bishop E. Bernard Jordan, will be sharing the things you can expect!
Your wealth and prosperity begin in your thoughts. They begin in the songs that you sing and meditate on in your mind. Before you can become physically rich, your mind must be wealthy first. And the way that your mind becomes wealthy is by depositing real assets into the rich soil of your mind. Your transformation in life will only come through the renewing of your mind, not the removing of your mind. Your thoughts are the living and tangible expression of your passions and desires. The reason why your thoughts are tangible and not solely ethereal is because all thoughts are things. So you must possess a desire before a blessing manifests. Desire is proof that your visions exist.
So many people go through life and instead of allowing their dreams and visions to guide them, they walk through life allowing negative things to pile on their plates such as fear, indecision, confusion, pain and antipathy. All of those things crowd one’s ability to properly focus and meditate. The ultimate goal of meditation is not to aquire things. Quite honestly you can have a whole lot of things without using meditation at all. Hard work can get you things. Stealing can get you things. So the goal of meditation is to usher you into a perpetual state of praise.
In this realm of praise you will catch a glimpse of continuous victory. Things that you could never perceive with your natural eyes are ever so clear in your mind, because this state has the unusual ability to make the invisible become visible to you. To the onlooker who does not understand the power of meditation, they’ll look at you and wonder what in the world you are praising for. They will look at your present conditions and where you are right now in your life financially, emotionally and relationally and then believe that you should be in a depression rather than in a praising state of mind. The bottom line, you should not wait for manifestation to begin your praise – transformation can only be manufactured in the minefields of your sustatined thoughts.

The Art of Transformation
There are so many people who attempt to transform their lives through external means. Some people will change their clothing, color their hair, have plastic surgery, or go on a drastic diet all in an attempt to change their internal disarray. While none of those things are necessarily bad, those alone cannot produce the kind of change necessary to bring about lasting results. Transformation must be achieved by exercising other muscles, not just your biceps and triceps.
In order to attain transformation you must regularly exercise the muscle of your mind. As with any bodily exercise, if you don’t work your muscles on a regular basis, they become flaccid. The principle reason why you are not able to produce much needed changes in your life is becasue your mind has been weakened through lack of exercise – lack of exercise with the traction of the truth. Be sure to read through my Mind Renewal post from late January!
How then can you possess the dicipline to stengthen your mind and focus on the path ahead to bring about the transformation you seek? Here is a word of comfort for you: Don’t worry about your mind being or appearing perfect as a requirement for transformation to begin. Change is usually forced out when your world is all out of sync, all confused and chaotic. Your new beginning starts at midnight – your new day actually starts in the evening, when it is darkest outside.
Get excited if your life seems like a scattered puzzle. That is a clear sign that you, your mind and everything that pertains to you are all going to be born again. It has been said that “necessity is the mother of invention;” most inventions arise becasue there is a point of confusion or a problem in desperate need of a solution. Right now there is something that is inside of you that is frustrationg you. Most often than not, the thing that frustrates you the most is the very thing you are called to solve. God bless.

Meditation – Clear Your Mind, Attain Your Dreams
Meditation… Such a “tricky” topic to cover. There are so many ins and outs that make the scope too large to cover in any one blog post. With that in mind, I give you the following: Five Practical Steps to Meditation. Know that these are not ironclad rules, simply suggested guidelines. Each person will customize these guiding principles to best fit their personality and the personal objectives that they are reaching for. I’m going to keep this teaching very secular; I believe the principles herein can help everyone, not just those devoted to a ministry.
Keep the following two points in mind as you inctroduce meditation into your life: 1. Meditation is not a “once in a while” impulse that you act on sporatically – it is a lifestyle formed through daily habits. 2. You will not master these principles on your first day or even in the first month. It can take years before you truly master the art of meditation. Be of good cheer! Unlike many other disciplines, meditation is one where you receive peaceful exchange as your reward early on. You don’t have to be a master to encounter the rewards – they will come quickly, usually in the form of an overwhelming sense of peace. This should be your self-motivator for moving forward, let’s get started!
1. Learn How to Enter Into the Silence.
Revelation comes through meditation. It comes in silence. The path to prosperity will never reveal itself to the busy mind, this is why it’s often so elusive. You must quiet your mind. Turn off the television, cut off your favorite music. Above and beyond that, turn off the noise that reverberates within you and just hear and listen. That’s all. Don’t expect too much at this stage. This step is all about getting you to appreciate the discipline of an inner sanctity of silence. It is understandable that if you were not taught this from early on, that it might be a bit awkward at first. But in time you will not only appreciate the silence, but will find that your life will not be able to progress forward even one step until you have begun your day by entering it.
2. Grasp an Image of the Thing that you Desire.
You have to have a concrete image of what your focus is. Remember that whatever you behold you become. So in order to get the best results from meditating you have to have an image alwasy before you in your mind. As long as you hold the image in your mind, you will become that. The things that you take hold of can be material or immaterial. The principle works regardless of waht kind of thing it is. So you must have an object of desire – again, the object may be tangible or ethereal.
3. Understand that Visualization Brings About Materialization.
You must practice the art of visualizing the thing that you desire. You have an object of your desire before you, but now you must take the next step and begin to visualize what you see to the point that you actually start to feel like you have what you are beholding. This is not a trick on words, this is very literal. And for anyone who has entered into this area of visualization, they would agree that anything that they have ever visualized, their desires only manifested after they sensed a strong feeling associated with the thing desired. This is a powerful aspect of entering in – you will feel like the car, you will feel like the promotion, you will feel like the new home. Your feeling will guide you safely to your desired destination.
4. Mediate With the End in Mind.
This is sometimes a difficult area to understand since so many people focus more on their beginning or the draining process of becoming what they envision. You have to see yourself at the end, place the thought of fulfillment on being there and then begin to meditate on that end result. You don’t have to worry about starting from the beginning, your physical body will travel from the beginning to the end. What you visualize, you see it as an end – you then travel to that place in consciousness. Your body will always have to catch up to the place that you are in consciousness. You see, your body is bound by nearly every earthly restriction. Your mind is not. Your mind can travel outside of your body at will – no need to make prior reservations or worry about whether or not your travel plans will be overcrowded with fellow travelers. You can travel anywhere, at any time, for any reason that you so choose. There are no contraints except for those limitations you conjure up in your mind.
5. Understand that Meditating is Contemplating You Out.
Look at the word contemplate. It means to look at or think about intently. When a person contemplates something they have the thing in mind as a possibility. They make plans concerning the things with which they are contemplating. Again, this principle works both ways. You become what you behold. Whatever you meditate on you will become. That is what contemplation is all about – what you meditate upon, you are actually contemplating, or in other words you are making a template for what you continually focus on. If you change your focus then you will recreate your template. If you want to change your life, then destroy your old template and create a new one through new focus seasoned with vast imagination and you will begin to see new things happen in your life.
