The Secret behind “The Secret” and the Law of Attraction

You may have watched the movie “The Secret” or read the book. Even if you haven’t you have almost certainly heard of the “Law of Attraction”.

The Law of Attraction states that life does not just happen to you. Rather you can shape and even create what happens to you by attracting to yourself the life you desire. The basic premise is that in the “universe” like attracts like, and your thoughts attract and actually manifest real situations, people, material things etc into your everyday reality. So the more you think about and focus on something the more you will attract it to yourself and the more likely it will come to pass.

So we have the following sayings:

“What you think about you bring about”.

“Where focus goes, reality grows”.

But the fact is the movie and the book “The Secret” are only part of the truth.

So let me be clear about what I believe:

1.There is without question a Law of Attraction that operates in the universe.

2.Like all universal laws, the law of Attraction is a God-given law that the movie and the book “The Secret” have humanized, mystified, and secularized.

Let me explain the biblical principles behind the Law of Attraction. You will be able to see clearly where this universal principle came from.

1. Creativity

We are all created in God’s image. This means we have the same characteristics as God himself. One of those key characteristics is that we have been created with the ability to ourselves create. We are beings who have creativity and the ability to create new physical things, as well as creating our own situations and our reality.

2. Prayer

Jesus teaches that we can alter the world around us and our own reality through prayer. One day the disciples asked Jesus how they should pray. Wouldn’t that be a fantastic thing to know? Well Jesus answered them and gave us “the Lord’s prayer”.

A key part of that prayer is:

“Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.” Matthew 6 v 10.

This is exactly the spiritual law of attraction at work. Praying this prayer to God means focusing your attention on changing things on earth so they are like things in heaven – peace, joy, abundance, fulfillment, and so on.

And again, even more clearly:

Jesus said “Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.” Mark 11:24

3. Bringing Things Into Existence

The bible even recommends believing, imagining and focusing on situations you want, even if they do not exist now. Consider this verse:

“…the God who gives life to the dead and calls things that are not as if they were.”

God can “call things that are not [i.e. don’t exist now] as if they were [as if they did exist]” – and by so doing, bring them into existence.

So if God can do it and we are made in his image, it stands to reason that we too can bring things into existence that do not exist now.

4. Practical Law of Attraction Advice From the Bible

Because the bible is filled with God’s wisdom and instruction to us on how to live our lives, we should expect practical advice on how to utilize this universal law in our lives. Here are some examples:

“Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.” Philippians 4:8

Just pure advice to focus, concentrate and think about things that are good, pure and positive.

“For as he thinks in his heart, so is he.” Proverbs 23:7

A clear instruction that what you think about, becomes who you are!

“The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For out of the overflow of his heart his mouth speaks.” Luke 6:45

Once again a crystal clear instruction that when you store up good things in your heart it manifests in good things in your reality. Yes we really can “bring good things out of the good stored up in [our] hearts”! We can actually bring good things into existence simply because of the good that is in our heart. Of course the opposite is also true, so be very careful what you store up in your heart.

“I tell you the truth, if anyone says to this mountain, 'Go, throw yourself into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him.” Mark 11:23

Wow! There is literally no limit to what we can manifest in reality if we:

a) Really believe it; and
b) Speak it into existence.

I am excited just thinking about what I can bring into existence!

“Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously.” 2 Corinthians 9:6

This is true in your mind as well as in your actions. If you sow positive thoughts, feelings and attitudes, you will reap in the same fashion.
