PROSPERITY BEYOND RELIGION

I never think MONEY first. I think about what I want and how I can get it with the money I have. I do not think of myself as "poor", I just don't have a lot of money. I use my mind to get what I want and some times that necessitates money. One can get much of what they desire without having a lot of money. But when you have faith that God is your provider there is no limit to what you can have and what you can do. I acquire the resources from the things in this world but my ability to put them together to look beautiful is a gift from my Heavenly Father Jehovah.

God created everyone with a creative imagination but rules hinders humans from using their creative imagination to the full. For example, we are told what colors go together and what colors do not go together. But I do not concern myself with any man made color chart nor do I concern myself with any style. I just imagine it and bring it into my existence.
