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 simple: to make more than I spend! Now, there's a practical, no nonsense prosperity plan!

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

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

When we get into tough situations, it is so tempting to focus on lack -- on the proverbial problem. But Jesus demonstrated that it is more important to focus on the potential. The disciples were centered on the problem of feeding 5,000-25,000 people. But Jesus said, "Let's provide them something to eat!" In the Gospel of Mark, He asks: "How many loaves do you have?" He is exhibiting the need to focus 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 focused on potential rather than the problem. One way is to create Attitude of Gratitude Lists, at the point of a stressful situation. On this list, you can pinpoint specific things for which you are grateful. This literally transforms 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 share 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 lack. Instead envision peaks of potential. And never, never, never confuse your net worth with your self worth.
