 If you can see yourself prosperous, regardless of what the world says or circumstances say, you will eventually be prosperous. If you can see yourself healed, you will eventually be healed. If you can see it on the inside, as you think in your heart, that's the way your life is going to be. Man, those are strong statements. Those are strong statements, wrong statements, but strong statements nonetheless. This is nothing more than a mangled mess of Christian manifestation. This kind of theology puts me in the driver's seat, but puts God in the trunk. It's the same lie that Satan told Eve in the garden, trying to convince her that she could be just as powerful as God. You are not God. Your belief that you will be healed does not guarantee your healing. Your belief that you'll be rich and famous does not mean that you'll be rich and famous. The scripture says that if we ask according to God's will, he will grant it to us, but that stipulation is important according to God's will. We are not the ones who get to decide. God does. The truth is, we don't know God's plan for our life fully, but he is clear that even in the midst of our trials, he is present with us and he is using them to strengthen and grow us closer to himself.
