Why You May Remain Defeated Irrespective of How Much You Pray
The cyclic nature of life: Nature’s Recycling Process
Since the creation of the earth, God has never had to create again! The earth and indeed the universe has been on autopilot and so are you. God has not have to create rain again, for instance. The sun heats the ocean, ocean water ev***rates and rises into the air; the water v***r cools down and condenses into water droplets, which forms the clouds. When enough water is condensed, it becomes too heavy to be suspended in the sky and it falls to the ground as rain and snow. Some of this water percolates into the ground to form underground water, some is used by humans in various ways and forms which is then expelled back into the underground water system or is ev***rated as sweat from the human bodies. Some runs off as surface water into the rivers and back into the oceans. This way, the earth renews its water supply systems by recycling.
The sun also rises in the east in the morning, moves across the sky(so we think) and sets at the other end of the world, only for it to rise again from where it started the day before.
The World On Autopilot
This is also true of humans. It seems God made everything with the ability to renew, reproduce and recycle itself. God rules in the affairs of men by setting the world on autopilot. Humans are the creators of their own destiny and the determinant of their own outcomes. And like God, once a path of destiny is chosen, it runs on autopilot. The outcomes you see today were created yesterday through the words that proceeded out of your mouth. The words that proceeded out of your mouth came from the store of your heart and mind, that is your thoughts. The thoughts (store) of your heart and mind was filled by what you said the day before yesterday (to yourself and to others).
How it works
According to Proverbs 18:20, the words of your mouth creates your outcomes in life.
"A man’s stomach shall be satisfied from the fruit of his mouth;
From the produce of his lips he shall be filled."
What fills and satisfies the stomach shows the quality of one's life. Therefore, the quality of your life is dictated by your mouth. So Jesus said, “I say to you, if you have faith as a
mustard seed, you will say...and nothing will be impossible for you”. Matthew 17:20. Conversely, that you are saying is a proof that you have faith. And since you are saying, nothing you said has been impossible for you and that is what you now have and can see and touch in your life.
The Source
Your words are not from out of space but from a source. The source of the words you speak is your heart. Your thoughts are translated into pictures and events, happenings and objects are attached to them for easy referencing. How did you fill your mind with its resources? In this place, what you hear and see are translated into pictures and saved on the hard disk of your mind.
Before they are saved, you have spent time meditating and thinking on them and they become part of your innermost being. And this brings us back to the starting point of the words you speak.
How To Break The Circle
There is no way out for a man who is stuck in poverty, ill-health and misery without breaking this circle because he is running on autopilot. He is not in charge anymore! Praying without understanding the process will result in frustration. Prayer can help with the understanding of the process. read more at http://www.johnafolabispeaks.com/harmonious-living/you-running-autopilot-nothing-will-change/
