A, B, C's of "Fast Food on the Mount

We enjoy the Biblical story of Jesus feeding the 5,000 because it is so inspiring! It contains the formula for continuous prosperity. Jesus demonstrates it so clearly --step by step! It's as simple as A--B--C!

Writing about prosperity always reminds us of Scott Adams, creator of the Dilbert cartoon. We saw an interview with him in Fast Company magazine, where he said that his business plan was very basic: to make more than I spend! Now, there's a down to earth, no nonsense prosperity plan!

As you formalize your prosperity plan, here's the formula to guarantee continuous prosperity flowing in your life:

A: Acknowledge: Acknowledge your potential, not your weaknesses!

When we get into tough situations, it is so tempting to focus on limitation -- on the proverbial problem. But Jesus demonstrated that it is more important to focus on the potential. The disciples were focused on the issue of feeding 5,000-25,000 people. But Jesus said, "Let's give them something to eat!" In the Gospel of Mark, He asks: "How many loaves do you have?" He is demonstrating the need to center on what we possess. He is asking the disciples to imagine what CAN be done, rather than on what can't be done.

Keep yourself in the frame of consciousness of always being centered on potential rather than the problem. One way is to create Attitude of Gratitude Lists, at the point of a frustrating situation. On this list, you can pinpoint specific things for which you are appreciative. This literally shifts your consciousness into a more positive frame of reference.

B: Bless: Bless what you have.

The first thing Jesus did was bless the loaves and fish that were available. It wasn't a begging prayer -- like 'Oh, God, make this stretch to feed all these people!' It was a prayer of thanksgiving. He knew there was abundance, because He knew the principle of Mind Action.

C: Claim: Claim and be generous with your prosperity!

It is important to take action -- step out on faith, knowing our prosperity is manifesting. Jesus handed the bread and fish to the disciples and instructed them to distribute it. The tiny amount of bread and fish must have appeared kind of puny -- and maybe the disciples thought Jesus had lost it! But they did as He requested! And not only was the multitude fed, there were twelve baskets of leftovers!

So, never see mountains of limitation. Instead see peaks of potential. And don't ever, ever, ever confuse your net worth with your self worth.
