AS YOU BELIEVE, SO SHALL IT BE DONE UNTO YOU |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
QUANTUM LIFE The God who created the infinite universe also created you in his image. He did not shackle you with limitations, but instead gave you the capacity to have quantum beliefs. He gave you the ability to think and act your life into existence. He gave you the power of quantum beliefs, quantum expectations, and quantum change. You have the ability to make your life into what you want it to be. You can get in agreement with God about who you are and what you can do with your life. There is no limit to how good your life can become when you get your quantum beliefs right. Although Jesus was born 2000 years before scientists discovered quantum theory, Jesus had already been living the quantum life. Everywhere he went he told people, "As you believe, so shall it be done unto you." This simple statement forms the foundation for your quantum existence. What exactly is the quantum life? God created a quantum universe in which quantum
beliefs rule. Prisoners don't want a small tweak that helps them adjust better to life in prison. They want freedom. Addicted people don't want to tweak their addictions. They want complete and total release. In my work as a
physician, I meet many individuals who formerly were drug addicts and now
they are clean. Every single person stopped using drugs when they
had a change in their beliefs and made a quantum leap to a chemical free
life. None of them tweaked the addictions out of their lives.
In the moral universe, change is
incremental. Even small changes are incremental. Change may
appear to be gradual, but when you look closely, there was a shift in a
person's beliefs that permitted them to jump to the next level.
People who accomplish great things know that quantum change is instantaneous, and they make it their business to adopt new quantum beliefs as fast as possible. They don't struggle with change and fight against it. They welcome it because they know it is the only way they will be able to jump to the next level.
They look for problems and solve them. Each new
solution provides the power to make a quantum leap to to a new life. When I decided to sail around the world
on a yacht, it was more than twenty years before I was ready to make the
quantum leap to a circumnavigation. I had lots of good reasons why I
could not do it for each of those twenty years. But when I was ready
to go, I instantly jumped to a new level, and I started my sailing voyage
around the world.
You need to develop quantum beliefs that make quantum
change possible.
You may worry that the only changes you can make are
small ones. It seems like there is zero chance to make a massive
quantum leap into the world of change.

When Jesus started his ministry, he didn't talk about gradual change or tweaking your life here and there to create marginal improvement. Jesus had a radical quantum message. Jesus believed in quantum change. He talked about being born again. His quantum message made you into a new person. Old things pass away and all things become new.
He talked about good news for the poor. The only
good news the poor ever want to hear about is prosperity, and Jesus
told them that real blessings are on the way. Jesus proclaimed the year of the Lord's favor. It was the year when the word impossible was banished from planet earth. It was the time when all things became possible for those who believed. It was the year of the Quantum Leap. Jesus had a backpack full of quantum beliefs that he
liberally distributed to every person he met. He wasn't interested
in making people feel better about their miserable condition. He was
interested in making new people. It wasn't just a makeover. It
was a whole new you with a completely new life. Quantum beliefs result in quantum expectations, and
quantum expectations result in quantum change and a quantum life. You are doing your part so that God can do his.
Waiting expectantly will be the busiest and most challenging period of
your life. You are training for your next quantum leap. You
are running faster, training longer, and practicing harder because
you need to be ready for when your next quantum leap comes your way. When Jesus walked on the road to Jericho, a
sightless beggar shouted out, “Jesus, have mercy on me,” but the crowd
surrounding Jesus rebuked him and told him to be quiet. Everyone knew
that blind beggars were beyond hope, everyone except Jesus and the blind
beggar. The crowd tried to extinguish the voice of hope, but the blind
man would not be silent, and he cried out once again, “Have mercy on me.”
Jesus had a sixth sense that the crowds
didn’t have. He could sense hope and positive expectations even in blind
beggars. The crowd could not shout Jesus down or keep him from his
mission. Jesus came to fan the flames of hope inside the human heart
until it became a burning fire that could not be quenched. Jesus probed the heart and mind of the blind beggar and discovered hope that no one else could see. He asked a simple question. “What do you want me to do for you?” What are your expectations? After all, it doesn’t matter what all these people think and expect. It’s your expectations that count. The man said, “Lord, I want to see.” The answer is still the same. It’s your faith that will heal you. It all comes down to your expectations. Faith still works miracles in your heart and mind. God makes miracles happen when positive expectations rule. Jesus came to light the fire of hope in your heart. He came to fill your heart and mind with positive expectations. When you get in agreement with God, positive things happen. Your old life passes away, and all things become new. What do you want God to do for you? What are your expectations?
The law of the moral universe is simple, "As
you expect, so shall it be done unto you." Expectations express themselves in may different ways. On the front end, you express them by the way you
ask, seek, and knock. You must ask expecting that good things are going to
happen. You must seek expectantly in order to find. You must
knock expectantly and step through the door when it opens. Michael Jordan once said that in basketball,
you miss every shot you do not take. If you are living in Nowhere Land, it's because you
have not been asking expectantly, you have not been seeking expectantly,
and you have not been knocking expectantly. In Matthew 16:23 Jesus said, “You are a stumbling block to me. You think as men think, not as God thinks. Jesus said that when we think like men, we stumble. How we think and what we think is important. Wrong thinking trips us up. We need a new way of thinking; we need to think as God thinks. When you get in agreement with God, then you are thinking the way that God thinks. You need to understand how God thinks so that you can get in agreement with him. God is the God of the possible. Impossible is not found in his vocabulary, and impossibility doesn’t exist in his universe. Everything is possible when you think the way God thinks. God is the source of all good things. All that you are or have comes directly or indirectly from him. There are no shortages in God’s kingdom of love. Everything that you need to live an abundant life is already present and available for those who think as God thinks. God thinks abundance. Jesus said that he had come so that you might have life and have it more abundantly. God created the world and everything in it. What you need is no big deal to God. Supplying your needs won’t break his bank or bankrupt his kingdom. God enjoys giving you good things. His plan is to fill your cup with blessings until it runs over. God thinks possibility. All things are possible when you think the way God thinks. God is the God of possibility, and there is no limit to how good your life can become when you think the way God thinks. God thinks positive. The most positive force in the universe is God’s love. It changes the way you think and feel making you into a positive person. God thinks positive expectations. When you get into agreement with God, your expectations change. Impossible becomes possible, and scarcity becomes abundance. God has a powerful positive plan for your life. God expects good things to happen in your life when you think the way that He thinks. God thinks forgiveness. God forgives you for the wrong things you have done. He not only wipes the slate clean, He also throws the slate away. God thinks freedom for the captives. Jesus came to set the prisoners free. The chains of lack and limitation fall off when you think the way God thinks. God thinks release from oppression. Jesus came to liberate you from all forms of oppression. Economic, spiritual, chemical, and psychological dependencies disappear when you think the way God thinks. God thinks recovery of what has been lost. The blind receive their sight. What the world destroys and takes away, God recovers and restores. God thinks favor. He bestows his blessings on all who get in agreement with him. He opens the windows of heaven, and blessings fall all around.
God thinks good news. God has no dark side. He is on our side, and is
in it with us for the long haul. All of God’s thoughts are good news.
When you become silent and listen for God’s voice, you hear his positive
message of love. You can trust God. If you do your part, God will do his. When you get in agreement with him, when you think the way that He thinks, then God starts working miracles in your life. God already knows what you need even before you ask. God wants to give you good things even more than you want to receive them. But first you must ask. Jesus said, “Ask and you will receive.” Asking simply recognizes that God is the source of all good things, and that He can be trusted to provide. Outsourcing doesn’t exist in God’s kingdom of love. All of us need to be reminded that God is our source. God will give you what you need unless you block him. There are no shortages in God’s kingdom. If you aren't getting what you need, it's because of lack of faith, lack of trust, and lack of positive expectations. God is a God of abundance, and when you get in agreement with him, when you trust him to supply your needs, when you have positive expectations, then the windows of heaven open, and blessings fall all around.
More
than 2000 years ago, a man named Jairus came to Jesus with an urgent
request. He said, “My little daughter is dying. Please come and put your
hands on her so that she will be healed and live.” First, when we overhear naysayers and negative thinkers reciting their litany of limitations, we are to ignore their message. Don’t listen to people shackled by disbelief who want to drag you down to their level. Nothing good comes from listening to negative thinking. Second, no matter what happens, we are not to give in to fear. Faith and fear are mutually exclusive. You must choose one or the other. Which will it be? Faith or fear? Jesus said that all things are possible to him who believes. Are you going to listen to the voice of fear, or to what Jesus says? All things are possible when you ignore fear’s limiting voice. Third, we are to believe and place our faith in God who is the source of our life. It’s never over until God says it’s over. Leave the punctuation of your life up to God. Until God puts a period on your adventure with him, faith must rule your days. Impossible is not in God’s vocabulary, and it shouldn’t be in yours. Fourth, don’t let the laughter and mocking of disbelievers discourage you or stop you in your tracks. If you do that, you will be listening to the wrong thing. Instead, listen to God’s voice of possibility and love. God has a purpose and plan for your life that is better than anything you can imagine. There is no limit to how good your life can become when you open your heart and mind to the power of his love. Your destiny is to have the last laugh, and that laugh will last for eternity. Fifth, get in agreement with God and let him work things out. God loves to work miracles in the lives of his children. Ask for a miracle every minute of every day. Jesus said, “Ask, and you will receive. Don’t be afraid; just believe.”
