Meanwhile, "manifestation" spreads like wildfire among millennials. Now they are all knee-deep in trying to "manifest" the things they want in life. They write down "Things I must manifest". Most believe (kid you not) that when they think hard of something they want it will "manifest" and I hear them all saying "The universe will provide". It started getting really bad a month ago.
I guess if they can't have BLM or covid to worship they'll invent "manifestation" as their new belief instead of just... waking the hell up.
Exactly. They've been spreading this manifest your own reality thing for decades, (that I'm aware of). Maybe longer. They had me going for a while there when The Secret came out. Now, I know all things come through God and I'm not a magician, magically making everything I desire come true. If God wants me to have it, then it'll happen. If that's not the path God has for me, then it won't. I try to ask God's will in things. And wait on his timing.
I'm confused at the bashing of manifestation? Why is believing in something, and praying about it bad? Wouldn't you rather people praying and having faith than not? If we are in a spiritual warfare wouldn't that be a good thing? We want people praying to God and believing and practicing positive prayer. Who is anyone else to judge? Religion is confusing enough but when people think their beliefs are superior to others you lost the true meaning and beliefs in Christ.
Their issue isn't against "praying for what you want" so much as the angle it is coming from. In this context, they describe a practice that is not praying to God, but rather praying on behalf of what one wants. On a deeper level, I can pray to God for what I want, rather than "the universe", but it is not what I think of as "Christian".
God knows what will allow me to fulfill my most important purposes, and that is what He will help me do if I ask and work for it. If I pray for a job and He delivers, it isn't because I wanted it. It's because I made a covenant to care for my wife and children, and to fulfill His command to multiply and replenish the Earth.
"Manifesting" for what I want to the universe is asking the wrong entity for the wrong thing. Seeking what God wants and trying g to align myself to it is Godly. Seeking what I want, without that alignment to God, is giving in to the carnal mind.
Thank you for explaining better. So is Christianity right and every other belief system wrong?
You have your opinion and I can have mine. I'm not a fan of the manifestation stuff. In my experience, if you don't get what you're manifesting, then it's your fault. That's a pretty crappy thing to lay on someone, and I don't buy it. Just my opinion from my personal experience.
I believe in praying to God and asking him, yes. And waiting for his response & guidance. Not manifesting it magically myself as if I'm God.
100% agree on having your own opinion. My point was that the bashing of manifesting is unnecessary. We are trying to spread love and unite as a country and world, not judge how others pray.
