Manifesting or Magic?

I want to say a word about something that is going around called "Manifesting." You may have heard this term.

Manifesting is a new age practice that has some merit, and actually the roots of this are Biblical. The problem is that it adds a lot of hocus pocus witchcraft stuff to it , along with leaving Jesus out of the equation...and that is not a good thing.

“Manifestation is about creating a vision for the future, putting energy and intention into making that vision a reality, and then aligning your thoughts, emotions, and actions accordingly so that your vision can come into fruition." Doesn't sound so bad, eh? It can be a slippery slope though...

In the Bible, in Romans 4:17 the passage talks about "calling those things that are not as though they were." In Joel 3:10 it says, "Let the weak SAY, I am strong." In Proverbs 23:7 it says, "For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he." In Judges 6:12 God called Gideon a "mighty man of valor." Uh... he was no such thing! But God was calling those things that are not, as though they were. In other words, He was calling the end result, before it had come into being.

And there are many other Biblical examples.

The point I am making here is that there are a lot of far-out sounding things in the new age world that have some basic sense to it, but if it is used as a magic potion and God is nowhere in the midst of it, then it's a red light to stay away. Follow the Biblical ideas and teachings and you will know that you are on the right path.... Kimberly @ God's Healing Power Radio Ministry.
