God – The Secret Law of Attraction And The Bible?
Posted on | June 25, 2010 | No Comments
I ran across this question recently:
I have questions about how come “The Secret” is so easy for us to understand how to get what we want in life, but for God loves us so much, why he didn’t show this in Bible to make our life easier?
If he did mention about Law of Attraction, would you please tell me which verses?
This question is only for the God believers who think “The Secret” has been working for them. Please don’t answer if you don’t know what “The Secret” is.

Dear Ken:
First of all, I am a Christian. So, let’s get that out of the way. I am also a LOA (Law of Attraction) practitioner. God did tell us about the Law of Attraction in the Bible – we just didn’t listen.
The basis of the law of attraction, in The Secret, is the concept of:
ASK – BELIEVE – RECEIVE
While many faiths echo the essential tenets of this formula, the Jesus, The Christ makes it clear in Mark 11:24:
Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.
- Mark 11:24 (NIV)
Many of the best Bible Believing Christians have not dared to ever step out, in faith, and take the Christ at His word. They mysteriously have the faith to believe that Jesus can grant them eternal life; but, their finances…..well that is another thing entirely. NO! NO! NO!
The Secret Law Of Attraction Answers Many Theological Questions
Many Christians find themselves drawn to the LOA because (1) it answers a lot of questions; and, (2) confirms their sneaking suspicions about the nature of God. Let’s explore both of these concepts further:
Christians find themselves plagued with such questions as: (1) why do “wicked” people prosper and “righteous” people suffer? (2) why do I tithe and live “hand to mouth” while the operator of the strip club down the street lives in financial abundance?
The simplest answer to these questions is derived by the principles of the law of attraction. The answer is:
BECAUSE THEY BELIEVE THEY CAN !!!
The “wicked” strip club owner walks in financial abundance because he believes that he can do so. While the Christian is plagued with such self sabotaging beliefs as: (1) I have not been “good” enough; (2) I did not tithe enough; (3) money is evil; or, (4) I do not “need” more than those around me.
God created this world in such a way that it gives (or fails to give) whatever you believe or believe that you cannot have).
The Secret Law Of Attraction And World Of Warcraft
Fellow Christians, money is a medium of exchange that is provided for our use to fulfill our life purpose, our hopes and dreams on this earth.
For example, in World of Warcraft, people (represented as avatars) earn money to buy weapons, “spells” and items to make their gaming experience more fun and fulfilling. The creators of the game want money to be relatively easy to come by so that the players can continue to evolve their avatar and make the game and community more and more interesting and fun for all.
It works the same way in life.
God Is The Programmer And We Are Avatars In The Game Of Life
God is the programmer of our reality.
Wayne Dyer, and others, teach that we are not physical beings having a spiritual experience; but, spiritual beings having a physical experience. Indeed, we are spirits, walking through life, in avatar form, with the purpose of enjoying the game of life.
Like World of Warcraft, we need money in our game in order to enjoy it. God created a world where money is relatively easy to come by. You can find this clause in the rulebook (The Bible) in the gospel of Mark 11:24. Money is easy to obtain because it helps us to fulfill our purpose in life and better enjoy the game.
Seek Your Bliss At Any Cost
[ReviewAZON asin="1435723368" display="inlinepost"]After all, the musician needs lessons and an instrument. The aviator needs access to a plane. The lawyer needs money for training. The doctor needs money for training and equipment. The nun needs money to care for the poor in India.
Mother Theresa, whose life purpose and sense of joy came from helping the poor in the slums of Calcutta needed money. But, she never “earned” a dime of it. She simply prayed: Ask – Believe – Receive and it was provided to her.
Not everyone derives a sense of purpose or joy from living in poverty in the slums of India. Every Christian derives a sense of joy from being or doing something. There is no shame in this. God gave you those desires to motivate you to seek your bliss.
Sometime, the search comes with a financial cost. But, God provides the money to cover the cost; and, as a result, the Christian is able to make a difference in their lives, the lives of their family, their friends, their community and…..our world.
