All Creation Starts With Desire

What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them and ye shall have them.
JESUS in St. Mark 11:24

DESIRE

ASK

BELIEVE

RECEIVE

Prayer is some form of saying "Let There Be!" Stella Mann believed that every prayer is answered when it is made and lived up to, according to the laws under which the power of prayer works.

Any time we say "Let There Be" on any level, in any way, something will happen. It's as if there is something in us, all around us which detects our every thought, word, deed, belief, fear, desire and command and does something about it.

We really need to be aware of the power of our words. After all, in the beginning, in Genesis it reads "And God said..."

Circle of Prayer Part 1: DESIRE

Everyone Has a Dream

The word dream as used in Mrs. Mann's book depicts a deep desire to do, or be, or acquire something of considerable importance to the holder of the dream.

It isn't the same as wishful thinking or idle day dreaming we unconsciously spend time doing. If your dream is to have a successful business then it would naturally involve lots of small desires that would be worked toward daily or even changed moment to moment as you work toward your goal and final objective.

A dream as we here mean it calls for work with a purpose and a definite plan to achieve our stated and understood purpose.

In this book, Mann writes there are only four basic rules we must follow:

1. Love our dream

2. Have faith in our dream

3. Have faith in ourselves, our ability to make it come true and

4. Have a plan of procedure for putting our dream to work.

Perhaps the biggest problem of all is to create a plan of procedure that will work to fulfill our dreams

But most importantly, you must develop faith in your dream and believe and decide that it is a good idea and is truly worth doing; that it expresses your creative passions and that it will be a blessing to others.

You need a plan that implies that you mean business and that we are going to start working, never stopping until we reach success. We must be open and flexible in entertaining and making variations in the plan on almost a daily basis and remind ourselves often-- the only way to fail is to quit.

As we explore this book "How to Live in the Circle of Prayer" we will learn to follow the twelve steps that begin with Desire.

But first we must learn "why we can and should have faith in our dream". After all, where did our dream come from? From the Spirit of God within us.

God had a purpose when he created and set in motion this Universe and each of us is born with dreams, ambitions and urges that come from a Higher Calling.

We've been given the tools required for dreaming but it is up to us to answer the call and actually dare to dream...

big dreams, little dreams...all are from God...in order that he may work at them and learn...
God wins more than you

When you make your dreams come true.

How to Make Your Dreams Come True

Today I will start a series titled "How to Make Your Dreams Come True". It will be a daily brief synopsis of the book by Stella Terrill Mann, "How to Live in the Circle of Prayer, and Make Your Dreams Come True..."

A quote from Stella's book sums up the basic premise

"...our dreams are from God and that, therefore, we ought to try to make them come true. The way to do this is to consciously work with God. This means prayer. But prayer is not begging. It is a scientific way of working with the Creative Spirit in man. For prayer is a spiritual power and like all power is law locked."

There are 12 parts of prayer and they create a circle of prayer. Over the next two weeks we will explore Mrs. Mann's twelve parts of prayer as I seek to comprehend more fully what she refers to as a "circle of spiritual power."

In a message to her readers, Stella Mann writes "keep your mind open and let the blessing you need from it flow into your very self, and become a part of your life forever."

And to this I add "Amen" for this is my prayer for as well.

Lisa S. Boyd

Tomorrow I will summarize chapter 1, There Is a Dream in Every Man's Heart. And I do believe there is though many times we lose touch with our dreams either through others scoffing and scorn or our own experience with disappointment. Still, I believe God has a special purpose for each of us, a special calling, a special contribution that can only come through the unique human being or spirit in which each of us "exists".

No matter what his tongue may tell

Man's goal will always be

To seek without, to seek within,

To touch Infinity.

The Girl Staring Out the Window

Ever find yourself running around like a chicken with its head cut off?

I think I have lived most of my life like this.

In the beginning it was due to tragedy. My world felt destroyed at nine years old when my Dad died. Other events took place and within a few years time, I became preoccupied with sadness and depression. I felt alone and hopeless, flawed somehow.

I lost almost all confidence in myself.

Then I seemed to check out for a while. I remember once coming out of a trance-like stare to find my high school English teacher standing in front of my desk. I don't know how long she had been there, speaking my name loudly to get my attention.

I had a reputation for being the girl "staring out the window" so to speak.

As I grew older I felt like I was waking up more and more. I felt aware of my surroundings and more in touch with reality. I learned time management skills and read books on organization. I read one self-help book after another. I went to years of counseling. I finished degrees and took extra classes. I ran around trying to keep up with my to-do list, be "super mom" and have worked to salvage a wounded career.

I looked for love but either pushed it away or mine was rejected. I expended a lot of energy becoming an over-achiever and a people-pleaser. And eventually, for some reason not even I really understand, I wrote a book.

A book about lifelong dreams; about dreaming and creating the life of those dreams.

Not even I know for sure if this can be done. But I do know this; I can dream about it!

Guess I'm still the girl staring out the window.

Only now, I do it on purpose...

Quote of the Blog

All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds, wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act on their dreams with open eyes, to make them possible.
--T. E. Lawrence
