Many Christians I have met are opposed to the Law of Attraction "principle" simply due to the fact that this "manifesting" phenomenon leaves God out of the equation and in essence puts man in control of his or her own destiny.
It is believed that the universe "hears" or "feels" our vibrations and responds in kind to whatever state of mind we are in.
Supposedly, if we "think" long enough and in the right manner, those things we "think" will become a part of our life.
I won't say this hasn't worked for some, maybe even many.
Yet, I am inclined to believe that God was still in control.
I am not convinced that anyone can just start thinking themselves "anything" and it will come to pass.
In Matthew 5:45 the Bible declares that "he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good".
This is the manner in which God allows the lost sinner to see His graciousness, and thereby desire a greater portion of His blessings.
So, in keeping with this thought, I am convinced that those that have been blessed "by nature", as they would say, have ultimately been receptors of the divine mercies and goodness of God.
That said, I AM a firm believer that any person who lives with a positive attitude and constantly speaks positive words may find themselves receiving more favor from God.
And, added to that is the fact that it is has been proven that a positive attitude relieves stress, thereby resulting in a healthier person who is able to actively and physically pursue the blessings of God.
It is also through these positive attitudes that we seem to see the needs of others and respond, unconsciously and positively, to those needs, thereby fulfilling the law of "love thy neighbor", for love is not an action that must be decided upon, but which rests internally.
Constant Christian meditation and a positive attitude in life will tend to enhance spiritual growth, as we will allow ourselves to see God at work in our life daily.
By using the principle of daily affirmations based on bible promises, we are actually sub-consciously training ourselves to seek spiritual help from God.
And while maintaining a positive attitude, we are confirming that we have "faith" in our petitions to God.
It is only by faith that we can actually see God's blessings come to pass.
Heb 11:1 states "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen".
Therefore, for one to obtain anything they are hoping for, "faith" MUST be one of the determining factors, and can only be achieved through an affirmative mental state, such as we obtain through positive Christian Affirmations.
