I appreciate the opinions given on the subject. It was also my opinion it was new age.
At the same time, I havent really received any experience or signs that enduring in Christ would bear fruit for me personally. I'm not going to wait and have my life destroyed for his sake. I'm going to give the principles a whirl, even if they are new-age.
I even prayed on it. Something compelled me to write a notepad text. The holy spirit gave me a warning. Here's the summary of it:
(This was the holy spirit moving in me, saying this)
"So, [Alexander], you've decided to throw dirt in God's face by studying "The Secret" eh?
You've decided to stand in rebellion and sought the worldly new-age alternative to wealth?
I guess you've made your decision, [Alexander].
You've clearly took a stand, and rejected the promises of the word of God
If you desire to utilize "The Secret", the LORD God will only tell you this once
'SO YOU ACCEPT THE POWERS, SO YOU ACCEPT THE RESPONSIBILITIES, SO YOU ACCEPT THE CONSEQUENCES'
Once more, you fool:
SO YOU ACCEPT THOSE POWERS
SO YOU ACCEPT THEIR RESPONSIBILITIES
SO YOU ACCEPT THE CONSEQUENCES
Jesus wanted nothing but the best for you.
The LORD God desired to make you a positive beacon of hope for those who struggled in faith
You basically stuck a knife in his back by embracing "The Secret" as a path of forward movement
And you laugh at me when the spirit promises you blessing and gain in faith.
C'est la vie, Alexandre, but again, your actions will have consequences. (For some reason, the spirit said some things to me in French. I dont know French)
The fact is, now in this period of time, you want to replace God's vision for you with "The Secret" and it's implementation, to leverage your future, and allow it to influence your future. I will state a very clear warning for you:
The LORD God was protecting you while you tried to get on your feet. You didn't think he could help. You currently have no job, no money, no forward movement, and yet, everyone you know seems to be moving forward. You've clearly communicated the LORD God the father is the villain who cursed you and destroyed your dignity. This is false, but you've
set your mind up. I cannot force you to change it.
I only pray...when you utilize this 'secret' to amass all your wealth and power, you find a way to repent before your physical death. You clearly stand against Jesus, and hate what you think he did to you, because you perceive him...God the Father...the LORD God...was holding you back from self-actualization. You thought the LORD God was toying with you and making you a court jester of life, and this is FALSE, but you currently have no ears to listen, or a heart to receive of the LORD.
God never toyed with you or tricked you, Alexander. The Road to the Kingdom is narrow and tough, and only few reach it. God was trying to get you to stop relying on the world, and rely 100% on him, but it's very clear you no longer care for him or his word, and that you're only objective is worldly success. If worldly success is required to show you how futile mammon & material is, then you elected for your own funeral.
Go ahead. See if it makes a difference. The LORD will hand you over to worldly success. The LORD will pray for your quick repentance once you see the misery of worldly wealth without God. The LORD will pray you let it all go once you gain it, and run back into the LORD's loving arms, to embrace you as the child of God you are.
The LORD understand why you are cutting him out. You chose this path. It's your funeral. Just remember...if you choose to play with golden fire, DO NOT GRIEVE to God that you burnt your hands. He will listen, but BOY your hands will hurt, and shall you receive relief then?
Every time you fall and get hurt with worldly riches, the LORD will redirect your blame and attention to your bank account, your cars, your homes, your likely false wife you're going to end up with, and the example of character you set for youself, and say "These burned you. These hurt you. I was trying to keep you away from these toxins of the soul. You chose to ignore me and mock me. SO YOU ACCEPTED THE POWERS, SO YOU ACCEPTED THE RESPONSIBILITIES, SO YOU ACCEPTED THE CONSEQUENCES. Give them all up and become poor of the world once again, and we can continue where we left off".
Stick to your decision, and when you understand the misery of ungodly wealth, I will be here to forgive you and welcome you back.
Adieu, bon homme Alexandre"
...that was what I felt the spirit say to me when I chose to engage in "The Secret".
I am going to utilize it to gain. Call me an idiot for wanting to challenge the misery of worldly wealth, but I refuse to live as a mockery of achievement in God. I hope God's right, and I hope I come to see worldly wealth as disgusting. I need to see it for myself.
