One of my favorite prosperity teachers is the Rev. Edwene Gaines.  She has made a 100% commitment to the transformation of the abundance consciousness of the world.  A question she likes to ask people is this: Would you be willing to consider the possibility that God has ways of blessing you that you don’t already […]

When you think about receiving, does it seem like a no-brainer?  Of course I’m ready to receive!  Who wouldn’t want to receive?  It sure seemed that way to me…until I started really thinking about it, especially when things don’t show up the way I expect them to.  It’s easy to imagine gratefully receiving a four-day […]

“The idea of perfect closes your mind to new standards. When you drive hard toward one ideal, you miss opportunities and paths, not to mention hurting your confidence. Believe in your potential and then go out and explore it; don’t limit it.”  John Eliot, Ph.D., Reverse Psychology for Success Last week I wrote about how […]
