Last night my husband and I watched the video to the book “The Secret.” We really wanted to know what all the hoopla was about over the book. Needless to say we watched it and was truly amazed how this so called “Secret” really wasn’t a secret at all. This “Secret” or power of attraction has been revealed in God’s Word thousands of years before the book was written. One of the principles of “The Secret” is to ask, believe and receive. Sounds familiar right! Well, we can find this in the Bible Mark 11:24 “Therefore I say to you, all things for which you pray and ask, believe that you have received them, and they will be granted you.” Another principle discussed on the video was the concept of negative thoughts and words and how they will produce those negative things in your life and vice versa with positive thoughts and words. We can also find those same principals in the Word. Proverbs 18:21 says, “Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.” Matthew 12:34-37
34- O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.
35-A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.
36-But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.
37-For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.
So I’ve come to the conclusion that we (including myself) need ask God to strengthen our belief because we don’t need to read these various books (which are really doctrines) we just need to read “THE BOOK”. The Bible has been proven to be inerrant, sound and true to those who BELIEVE. Let’s stop acting like the world looking for the newest fad and thrill and lets be flat footed and unwavering so that we can stand on the firm foundation of our faith and be that light that the world is looking for to the glory of God.
So if you’re looking for the “Secret” here it is…Believe the Word Of God (Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is living and full of power, and is sharper than any two-edged sword, cutting through and making a division even of the soul and the spirit, the bones and the muscles, and quick to see the thoughts and purposes of the heart.
