Too often you go to sleep at night and you wake up in the morning thinking of all that you need and the particular items or qualities which you figure you need the most.
Today I am here to tell you that you have no needs. This is something you had better know. You have no needs. You have everything. You ask Me for this, and you ask Me for that. You are, in effect, complaining, beloveds. Your attention is on what you see yourself as missing out on. Do you even remember what you asked Me for a week ago? If you are talking to yourself or talking to Me, it is time for you to skip past the needs you portray and move over to the alley of gratefulness for all that is yours. Beloveds, it is all gravy.
Your attention on need shows a lack of faith in yourself, or you may consider that I let you down. Any attention on need is attention on lack and attention on lack is frailty.
Hear Me out.
Consider faith in yourself like a muscle. If you want to strengthen a muscle, you don’t sit around bemoaning: “Oh, I am so weak.” No, you go to the gym or you jog in the park or you lift weights or you do push-ups or you do yoga or whatever you do. If you are in a slump, get up.
Never again do I want to hear you say: “I am weak. I am tired. I need help.” Nor, even if you are given a prognosis, do I ever want to hear you say, “I am ill. I have an illness.” Never do I want to hear you say, “I have a fatal illness. I have a death sentence. I don’t have a chance.”
Beloveds, watch your thoughts, and watch what you say. Please don’t tell Me what you think or what you say is true. Please don’t tell me you are a realist. A realist is not a bemoaner.
The three little pigs set out to find their fortune. This is a great theme for you. The three little pigs did not set out to proclaim their misfortune. They didn’t say they won’t make it. They set out. They had no sense of doom. They had only sense of promise.
As the story goes, it goes downhill for the piggies who built the straw and wood houses. The piggie who built the brick house won the day. Of course, the wise pig who built the brick house invited his brothers to come in and escape the big bad wolf.
I am going to say that your stressing lack is tantamount to the big bad wolf. Your building yourself is like building the brick house. Which do you seek, beloveds? Which do you seek? The big bad wolf or the brick house? Do you want to walk into the jaws of the big bad wolf or through the door of the brick house?
Which do you focus on? Trials and tribulations, or fulfillment of desires? Desires are good. Needing, lacking, the desperation of having to have is not so good. Having is okay. Notice what you have.
Even if you are an innocent man imprisoned in a dark cell and cannot see the sun, you still have the sun. You still have the sky above. You still have the stars. They are yours. This is practicality, beloveds.
Do not sit in your dark cell and be thinking of injustice all the while. This is impractical. Let go of all that which is not helpful to you. Anchor yourself in Truth rather than probability. It is not true that God helps only those who help themselves. It is true that you can help yourself by what you think and what you say. If you are pronouncing what is called your future, pronounce the future you are aiming for, and know that I bless you to your good. I am a God of Blessings.
