The Law of Attraction is a biblical

concept, but has been perverted by
worldly teachings; therefore, the church
should seek teaching on the biblical
Law of Attraction.

Now I'm sure you've heard of the

teaching known as "The Secret." The

concept is, by using this "secret," which

is "The Law of Attraction," you can
attract anything you want in your life:
more money, a bigger house, more
business, the perfect mate, literally
anything you want!

While the teachings conveyed about

the Law of Attraction from worldly
teachers contain many truths, they also
contain some contradictory ideas to the
Word of God. For example, I personally
disagree with the notion that a person
can have just anything. The reason
being, we were born with different
strengths, skills, and talents that lend
themselves to our individual abilities to
acquire the things we desire.

God made us all unique, with a

purpose, and with a certain mission to
fulfill His will. It isn't all about us! Now
does that mean the Law of Attraction
should be ignored? Is it all just a bunch
of garbage for the Christian? Absolutely
not! The Law of Attraction is a biblical
concept.

Once we understand the proper

mechanics and the proper use of the
law of attraction and discuss it within
the church, we should refer to it as the
"biblical law of attraction" simply that
there may be no misunderstanding. So
from here to the end of this article, I'll
refer to it as the "Biblical Law of
Attraction."

Now, the Biblical Law of Attraction and

God's will can, and should work

together in your life. Let me clarify it
from a biblical perspective in the
following three points:

1. The Worldly Law of Attraction and

the Believer in Christ

The worldly teaching of the Law of

Attraction has brought much confusion
to the believer in Christ for one very
good reason: It leaves out the entire
concept of God's will! If you've been
trying to use the Biblical Law of
Attraction in the way the worldly
teachers teach it, you'll soon find
yourself feeling far from God!

2. Why the Basic Concept of the Law

of Attraction Works for Everyone

Like I said previously, the Law of

Attraction is a biblical concept and a
Godly principle. It's just that the worldly
teaching of it is not Godly. It has
distorted biblical references by leaving
Jesus out of the equation, thereby
perverting the Word of God to suit its
own purposes.

3. The Basic Concept of the Law of

Attraction and God's Will

Jesus' teaching on the Biblical Law of

Attraction deals with our beliefs,
thoughts, words and actions. The
worldly teachers of the Law of Attraction
teach that our words and thoughts are
enough, like there's some sort of magic

in what we request from, who they call,

the "Universe."

God is interested in our "issues," and

He wants a relationship with us more
than anything else. He wants our heart;
therefore it grieves Him when we chase
after selfish ambitions instead of Him.

So, how should one use the Biblical

Law of Attraction? The answer is, to
glorify God in his or her life. Not merely
to obtain selfish ambitions.
