Is God’s favor showing up in your life, even though you may not have felt like you were worthy of it? How is God’s favor appearing in your life right now? Write down the ways you think God is showing you His favor, why you think you have received His favor, and what you think you can accomplish in the next 12 months with God’s favor on you. If you don’t see evidence of God’s favor, write down the reasons you think that might be the case.
Exercise Goal:Prophecy is filled with signs. Wherever God’s intentions are becoming active in your life, you will see signs of His favor. But as we know, favor is not fair. We don’t get favor because we go to church, but because we open ourselves to the expression of God. Do you have God’s favor? How is it making itself known in your life?
Ways God’s Favor is Appearing in My Life
Example: Inspiring people are entering my sphere.
Why I Have Received His Favor
Example: I have been meditating daily, setting my mind at peace so I can hear God’s voice in my mind.

Exercise #45 Forget the facts.
The Fasts reside in the here and now ,base on evidence. The facts will tell you where are today. They know nothing about your spirit or passion; only of your Limitations,what you have failed to do in the past. Facts are cold,calculating,and inhuman.If you are working in a nine-to-five–job making minimum wage and you have only a high school education, the facts,shared with you by” experts” from all over the world, will insist that you will never go beyond a $25,000 a year income ,never own a home,and retire with nothing .And if you choose to frame your reality with those facts,that is the destiny that will come to pass for you you.
God deals not in facts,but in Truth. He knows that we all have in us the potential for wealth,for greatness,to accomplish whatever has meaning for us without limit. God knows the truth of what you can be and what you can do,and He has created a System in which that reality is locked up with your consciousness.It is up to you to choose to let it out . If you hold that mental job,but in your own mind you are a passionate entrepreneur with unstoppable vision of starting your own record company, then that is your truth. You are that record company! Your own truth casts off limits and bases what you can accomplish on your true Self,your Spirit. The tagline of GATTACA, a movie depicting the struggle of a man who is determined by others to be inferior,was ” There is no gene for the human spirit.” In the movie ,the main character defies the supposedly predetermined destiny of his genetic inheritance to become an astronaut.

The Laws of Thinking are being revealed to you for one reason: to empower you to manifest the prosperity in your life that you were born to realize. When you embrace this wisdom, good things are going to come into your life. And the harsh reality is that when that happens, people are going to be envious of you. They will be envious of your favor (never mind that favor isn’t fair) and of your sense of clear purpose.
Understand this: Envy is not evil. The true sin is want, covetousness, the desire by others to possess what you have manifested and the knowledge that they cannot because they have not alled themselves to be centered and focused on their prosperity. Take their envy as a compliment, because it means they see what you yourself may not even be able to see: Success. Focus on your thoughts and focus on the words you speak and you’ll be well on your way!
From last week’s leason: whatever you are focusing on, that is what will come into being. Your words and thoughts determine your day, who you are, where you are and where you are bound. Words and thoughts have power to shape reality, so you should never think or say what you do not want to come into being. Excersize the power of the word with utmost care. It is a loaded gun and a slot machine about to pay off, both at the same time. When you name something, you give it a nature. When you say something, it takes on that form. Its reality reflects your perspective.
Each time you focus your attention on something, sending your energy and concentration out, you begin to draw it closer to you. You begin to make your thoughts manifest. You enhance your perception and increase your ability to be, do and have. Focused attention that does not faint or waver is sending a constant stream of creative energy into the future, declaring what you desire to bring it into being. Attention is magnetism that attracts whatever it falls on to itself!
We can’t leave our discussion of attention without talking about persistance and its opposite, distraction. To employ the power of attention to manifest good, you must apply it with persistance. You must remain focused over time in order to allow it to create and bring forth what you have envisioned in your mind and set in motion with your words. If you speak a word and then move your mind and your attention to something else, your vision will not have the chance to form from the incorporeal. Persistence of thought, word and focus is all-important to getting what you want…

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.
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.
Into the Darkness – Fear Not, Let the Light Guide You!
Darkness is a place of unformed purpose. Don’t be afraid of teh dark. In order for you to tap into the hidden treasures buried inside, you have to go within. You are going to have to get in touch with your most inner self. Although people claim to be lovers of the truth, most people could not handle the real truth about themselves, so they hide. They do not want to go within, becasue that is where the truth lies. The truth, your solution, your riches and your blessings all live in the darkest place on earth – within you.
Don’t despair. The truth takes form in darkness. Many people are afraid of dark places becasue they have heard rumors about dreadful things that happen in the dark. They trip up over things in the dark. They stagger when they walk, afraid that they might hurt themselves. Being in darkness is the ultimate test of your faith. You can’t see anything, but you are still expected to trst and obey God. You are nervous. You don’t want to touch the wrong thing. Worse yet, you don’t want to wrong thing to touch you.
Regardless of all the logical arguments to avoid the darkness, you must stay there until you become. It is in the darkness, in meditation, that you truly find out who you are. You come face to face with the real you. Sometimes there are things about yourself that you are not ready to deal with. In the darkness you discover feelings of hate, greed, jealousy and vengence. Perhaps you struggle with trusting others. It is in darkness that you face these harsh realities.
Meditation brings about revelation. Of course, you want to get to the great revelations first: the blessings, the money, good health and success. There is nothing wrong with that. Truth is that you will at least have to deal with the dark side first, those things within you that were preventing you from having your desires in the first place. Once you deal with those things, tapping into the others won’t be an issue. In fact, it’ll be as easy as driving a car.
