Step one: We acknowledge that within the universe there is ONE pervading presence, ONE force encompassing everything that is in existence, ONE energy from which all things are made of. Many people throughout the ages have called this Source of all things, God. What matters is that we recognize this truth.

There is one mediator or advocate Jesus, the great high priest of my confession

Hebrews 3:1 KJVS

[1] Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus; Fix your thoughts on Jesus, and come boldly to the throne of grace (where the answer is yes) ,We hold fast to the confession of our faith (He is faithful)

Hebrews 12:2 KJVS[2] Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.  Jesus lives to make intercessions for me (Hebrews 7:25)

Step two: Having recognized the magnificence and awesome power of the ONE presence that is absolutely everywhere within the universe, we realize that this same intelligence that created everything, does not stop being where we are. Therefore It is within us; It is the substance that life is made of. In this step we become aware of who we really are: Divine beings made of the God’s energy and having a human experience.

Three amazing aspects are (1) The Creator, the ONE force that encompasses all has declared Himself my ABBA (daddy) God and (2) that I approach Him based on the merits of  Jesus, and that His Spirit lives in me!

Step three: We name our desire(s) with the feeling that as we do this, it is already ours. We are moving away from the feeling of ‘wanting’ to the feeling of ‘having’ already received.

Step four: We summon, from within ourselves, a feeling of gratitude. Of course, the Source of ‘ALL That Is’, does not need our gratitude to function; it is rather that a attitude of gratitude opens our consciousness to receiving even more good. As the Law of the universe is such that what we focus on, is what we manifest in our experience, when we are focused on the good that we already having, then we can only attract more good.

Step five: Once we have accomplished the four previous steps, all we need to do is trust. We release it to the wisdom and the love of the universe. The Creator does not require our input on ‘how’ our desire comes to pass!

          Higher Thoughts= Higher Ways

ISAIAH 55:7-9 the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.  For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, says the LORD.  For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

Notice the Prophet says the wicked man should forsake his way. The way is trodden path a habitual way of acting or a course of life. The way is a system of thought which has become an action that is accomplished on a regular basis.

Unrighteousness begins in the thought life. Everything begins in the thought life and the thought life gives birth to a way or a habit.

Change your thinking=Change your life. Notice that way here is equated to action, and also is accentuated by the word “wicked”. The unrighteous man is told to deal with his thought life.
