You can have anything you desire

I just finished reading Edwene Gaines book Four Spiritual Laws of Prosperity for the third time and each time I read it, I get a better understanding of what true prosperity is and how to express more of it in my life. It is such an easy read for such a profound message. One thing that she says early on that continues to give me trouble is the idea that we can have anything we want. I feel selfish when I think about getting anything I want. I get worried that I am draining the world of its resources or that I am getting something at the expense of someone else. I can accept things that I feel have a higher purpose but to get something just because I want it sounds so excessive. It is a concept that I teach from the pulpit and have yet to master.

She says that all desires come from God. They are God's way of bringing more good into our lives. I read that same idea in H. Emilie Cady's Lessons in Truth and have taught it to others. Now, it is time for me to claim it as my own. I plan to teach prosperity over the next several months. I want all of us to get how cherished we are by God and to accept the abundance that God wants us to have. They say that we teach what we need to learn. Our theme for this year is "Prosperity is mine in 2009." I will be growing in this area right along with everyone else learning to allow more good and more abundance into my life. I hope others will join me. I promise to write about my experience as I go in this blog.
