104th Live Stream with Carlton Pearson - Money Matters

About this sermon

Money answers all things. (EcclesIastes 10:19) Got any? You do not have to have money to attract money, but you cannot feel (or think) poor and attract money. The key is, you have to find ways of improving the way you feel (or think) from right where you stand before things can begin to change: By softening your attention to the things that are going wrong, and by beginning to tell stories that lean more in the direction of what you want instead of in the direction of what you (don't have), your vibration will shift; your point of attraction will shift—and you will get different results. (Italics are mine) ---Abraham I learned a long time ago, when I was still in college, that I've never really been poor, just broke. Poverty is a state of mind, attitude and consciousness. So is wealth and worth. Don't try to make things right, see them right, because what you see (perceive) is what you get. Remember, perception is the ultimate reality, not always the ultimate truth. You can think, give and serve your way out of poverty. I began doing that as a high school student with no money for my high school prom tux. I ended up borrowing a jacket from my uncle (my Dad's baby brother), whom I visited in a nursing home last week in San Diego. He didn't know I was in the room, but after sitting there for a while, I thanked him again, kissed him and prayed a short prayer. Over the last 40+ years since my high school days, I've experienced things I could have only dreamed about and continue to. I live more of what I think than what I feel. Remember again, that the Universe doesn't judge you so much by what you feel but what you think about what you feel. What you think about, you bring about. Focus on what and who you are more than what you want or perceive not to have, which is always an illusion. You know you're ok and have more than enough, even when you believe otherwise. Therein is your inner conflict. Relax and release and enter into the reality of what your soul knows, more than what your mind may suggest or even insist. I know and understand the conflict and can testify that knowledge wins. It is the experience of the soul behind the sensual realities. Rest in that and live abundantly. I decree and declare for you as I do for myself. Prosper and be in health, even as your soul prospers.
