Be enveloped by what you desire, that your gladness be full.And you never say things like. Please give me...You say instead...Thank you that I have...You state it as a fact and in the present that you already have it, and give thanks for it...
It's funny cause in metaphyicics it's called "The law of attraction"..You attract what you believe...If you believe you "don't have" then you'll attract the same...
I do agree with most you said. By thanking God for what you have asked and then visualising and speaking as if you have already received it you are honouring Gods promises by showing faith in his Word. God will honour you. The Scriptures also say " You do not receive because you pray incorrectly. When we ask something of God we must expect it to happen and not hope it will happen.

Actually there is no problem. Once you have accepted Jesus as you saviour and start to study the word of God (Bible) and pray on a daily basis you will soon find the meaning of life and what God wants you to do with it. You need to have faith and trust God. 🙂
So few people ever realize this concept, and even fewer people understand it.
"If yee be wise, than thou would seem to know thy God. But if thou are ignorant, would thou say God abandoned thee?"
God talks to us in these ways too...You just have to listen.

INTRODUCTION
Have you ever thought of someone, and just at that moment they call the phone!
Or have you opened a book on a random page only to find the solution to a current problem.
Or have you switched TV channels at the right moment to find a programmed about something you were interested in.
Or do you keep bumping into or seeing certain friends while you drive or walk about.
Of course you have! On the surface some may pass this off as pure chance but I challenge you to be more aware or these occurences and you will be pleasantly suprised, as when you follow the trail of coincidences you are pleasently rewarded with magical, meaningful even miraculous occurences.
(just as I typed the word 'friends' above - the word friends' was spoken on TV - 6:37pm 17/2/02 and again at 6:38pm when reading the word 'friends' - Ed.)
Esoteric texts refer to the Law of Synchronicity - it is real and has existed as long as time.
In Dutch the word for coincidence is "toeval":
toe = towards
val = to fall
In German it is "zufall", with exactly the same meaning. Something falls towards you out of the blue. So let is start with those coincidences in my life that have to do with encounters. This will give the reader an idea of what it is all about.
"Synchronicity can be defined as a non-causal but meaningful relationship between events or states of mind within the human psyche and events in the outside world. More simply, we could call it the experiences of "meaningful coincidence". We have all had experiences that we intuitively recognize as meaningful, though we would be hard pressed to explain them in rational terms. In fact, these "meaningful coincidences" are not coincidences at all but spontaneous realizations of the underlying interconnectedness of all things within the Universe." Laurence Boldt - Tao of Abundance
As Heraclitus put it, "The unseen design of things is more harmonious than the seen."
James Redfield, in the 'Celestine Prophecy', describes the first insight which is about following meaningful coincidences. Coincidences, if followed through, are seen as away of evolving, to a higher level of vibration. When we are in the flow we experience more synchronous events, more pleasure and less pain. The flow of coincidences is our path to higher ground.
If you bump into someone you have n't met in a long time then it is advisable to stop and talk to them. Be aware of a message that they might have for you. Follow the coincidence through and you'll be amazed, as I am, on a increasingly regular basis!
Coincidences are often a sign that you are going with the flow of life, doing what your heart desires (divine will) and following your in-tuition (inner guidance - gut feeling).
Meaningful Coincidences fill us with a sense of awe, even shock, as we experience more and more unlikely events.
Be prepared to take off!!
I've found this to be very true!

perhaps hiding within a chance remark heard while one is moving through the rushing people traffic walking along . .or crossing a street
...voices discussing an unrelated subject, into into the ear, in a familiar restaurant..from customers conversing in a nearby booth, bearing for the aware - and for the truly listening some unsuspected truth
sometimes, words dropped by a clerk, a waiter, a waitress - occasionaly a friend, a relative...an enmy..or a stranger.
These having no idea they are playing a cosmic part in the Synchronicity drama, never guessing they're being employed as channels for a message, symbolically relayed messages which, if no one is there, or sufficinetly aware to receive them remain as pieces of themselves, in the larger puzzle
let those whi have eyes - see
and let those who have ears - hear
if one opens the eyes, to truly see, and opens the ears, to truly hear, the messages coming through will be startingly clear.
Asking for signs:
If you have a question, or problem - say it out a few time in your head. I need to know about... or what is the meaning of . . . .. . ., Who Am I?
this is often enough to apparently 'set off' a series of events.
Ask angels, Spirit Guides, Ascended Masters, Nature Spirits, Animals to show you signs or clues of what step to take next.
😄 TRY IT.
You might overhear a conversation, or a key word, or key phrase as your doing your shopping, or sitting in a food / drink outlet.
Number plates
Billboard Posters
Stickers in Windows
Tunes on the radio - lyrics symbolize
You say a word or phrase and at exactly the same time here it the TV
The TV can answer questions for you..,often Ali askes me a question and I answer, making perfect sense, using the words that came up on TV in that instant.
Dreams
People ringing as thinking of them
Bumping into people
keep a journal
do meditation exercises

The Bible says that it is fools who search for signs to to hear God's voice. Our Spirit nows when God is speaking. If you are unsure then you do not know how to listen yet. You learn to listen and be sure when it is God who has spoken or not by studying the Word of God so that you can know the will of God. God does not act contrary to his Word or His will.
