And the serpent hissed: "The Secret"
Genesis 3:
4And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
5For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
6And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.
Folks, if you have not yet become aware of "The Secret" and its "Law of Attraction", chances are, you soon will.
"The Secret", a book and film written and created by Rhonda Byrne and endorsed and promoted by Oprah Winfrey proclaims, in essence, that we can control the outcome of our lives and fortunes by positive thinking. We attract, by our attitudes, both positive and negative, outcomes that are positive or negative.
As wonderful and marvelous, and downright practical as this may sound at first blush, the reader should note that an extremely important element is left out...The Sovereignty of God Almighty.
Please consider the following excerpts:
You are God in a physical body. You are Spirit in the flesh. You are Eternal Life expressing itself as You. You are a cosmic being. You are all power. You are all wisdom. You are all intelligence. You are perfection. You are magnificence. You are the creator, and you are creating the creation of You on this planet.
The earth turns on its orbit for You. The oceans ebb and flow for You. The birds sing for You. The sun rises and it sets for You. The stars come out for You. Every beautiful thing you see, every wondrous thing you experience, is all there for You. Take a look around. None of it can exist, without You. No matter who you thought you were, now you know the Truth of Who You Really Are. You are the master of the Universe. You are the heir to the kingdom. You are the perfection of Life. And now you know The Secret.
As you can see, the Secret is nothing new. It has been around in one form or another since the beginning of Creation when Satan lied to Eve. The lie is told in a number of venues today, many times in the guise of Christian teachings, i.e. "Name it and Claim it" theology and the "Prosperity Gospel", among others.
I found a review of "The Secret", which shares my assertions, at http://biblicalspirituality.org/secret.html, and for brevity sake I now direct you there.
Sadly, not everyone is going to accept the teachings of God's Word. Many will perish. If you have not yet accepted the gift of salvation, I urge you to do so now by praying to God:
"Father, I am a sinner. Please forgive me of all my sins, for which You sent Your Precious Son, Who, though Himself blameless, died on the cross, in my place, so that I should not perish, but have life everlasting. Father, thank you, for the resurrection of Your Son, Jesus Christ, Who died, was entombed, and rose again on the third day, as a sign and a promise to me, that I, too, will have a resurrected body and share in Your Kingdom, forever." Amen.
