Discover how to let go and let God....
Have you tried using the law of attraction, but
gotten nothing more than frustration?
Perhaps you’ve received sporadic results at best,
but nothing to really suggest that you can make this a normal part of your
life.
If
this is you, you are likely neglecting the one thing that causes the law of
attraction to work.
What is it I’m referring to? Simply, the necessity of surrendering
to God.
The Problem: Attachment to Your
Desires
Easily
the #1 problem for those who are attempting to practice the law of attraction
is being attached to their desires.
It
seems ridiculous, because you would think, “This is my desire, it is what I
want, so of course I’m attached.” But in the law of attraction, attachment to
your desires is the quickest way to ruin any chance of it manifesting in your
life.
An Issue of Perception
Why?
It’s all about your orientation to the desire. When you imagine that you need the desire in order to be happy, you
are emanating a great sense of lack.
You
don’t need anything to be happy. Better stated, the only thing you need is
God—to rediscover that light within yourself that constantly shines—to unveil
your heart to what is really Real in the world. A new car, a better job, or a
million dollars can’t provide happiness; not soul-level happiness, anyway.
For
the soul to be satisfied, it needs an authentic spiritual connection with The
Real—with Truth—with God.
To
believe that you need these other things is just a lie of the false ego self, a
lie of insecurity and separation from who you really are.
None
of that is meant to guilt you into dropping your desires. It’s okay, and
natural, to desire things.
But again, the difference is your orientation. Do you
seek the desire out of a sense of need, or simply for the sake of the desire
itself? Are you approaching the desire from a place of lack, or from a place of
fullness?
The Law of Attraction Responds
to Your Inner State
A
common misunderstanding is that the law of attraction responds to your
thoughts. That’s actually not true. It seems to be true because thoughts are
also a manifestation of the same thing: your inner state.
That’s
why you could desire more money, but approach it from a lack orientation, and
therefore get the exact opposite. there’s no way that God could, or would, give
the exact opposite of what you are really asking for internally.
However,
you can also ask for more money from a place of fullness and joy. When this
happens, God responds in kind, giving you even more fullness and joy, in the
form of financial abundance, and much more besides.
So
when you are trying to manifest your desire, it is not enough to constantly
think about it in positive, nice-sounding terms. It’s not enough to constantly
repeat affirmations and create vision boards.
What’s needed is a real change of your own inner state.
What you’ve been given already is a manifestation of your
inner state as it is right now, or how it is on average. If you tend to be a
person who focuses on lack, then all you can make room for in your life is
lack.
The Solution: Surrendering to
God
So
we know the problem: you know what you want, but you’re not really fostering
the best inner state to make room for that desire to become reality.
It’s
sort of like trying to grow a plant. You might have a seed, but if you don’t
give it the things it needs to survive, it won’t grow into a plant.
If
you try to plant the seed in only shallow soil, it won’t survive. If you only
give it occasional water, it won’t survive. And if you don’t allow it to
receive light, it, again, won’t survive. You have the right seed, but not the
right conditions.
The
results you get in life are the outward proof of your inner state. It shows
what seeds you planted, and how you took care of those seeds. If you don’t like
the plants you get, then you might want to plant different seeds, and take care
of them appropriately.
Obviously,
the thing to do is to change the inner state—to plant different seeds. But how
do we do this?
The
short answer is, by constantly living a life of surrender to God. Yes, I said
the short answer, but it’s not necessarily the easy answer.
You
see, when you allow yourself to begin surrendering to God in your day-to-day
life, it changes you from the inside out. You begin to unveil your heart to the
beauty of that spiritual Truth.
You look to God for the provision of your needs, not to
outward circumstances, which could never help in the first place. The fullness
of God becomes your fullness, and thus you begin to manifest very different
results in life.
It’s a Journey
The
problem is that many people come to the law of attraction believing it will be
an easy thing to get anything they want. Most of the blame falls onto those who
market it as a quick fix, as the solution to all of your life’s concerns. But
it also falls onto those who believe that there is a quick fix at all. It is
wishful thinking.
If
you look at the adherents of any religion, especially the mystical factions
thereof, you see people who strive for years to trust more in God and learn how
to surrender to Him. They realize the error of relying on the material world
for happiness, and turn within to discover true fulfillment.
It’s
not done over night. You can’t just flip a switch and now you are getting
everything you want in life.
There
are people who have success with the law of attraction almost immediately upon
discovering it. Generally they succeed for a few reasons:
They approach it with an attitude of playfulness and fun
They put enough trust in the process that they can stop
doubting that what they want is possible. They try it on something small, that really doesn’t
matter to them
They already have some years of spiritual growth under
their belt, so they are able to detach from the end result, because they
realize the importance of surrendering to God
Notice
in all the points above, our hypothetical individual has an inner state that is
conducive of positive results with the law of attraction.
A state of playfulness and fun is a perfect state for
making the law of attraction work. You aren’t worried about the end result, so
there’s plenty of room for it to come to you.
A lot of times, when we try something new, we can suspend
all doubt, at least temporarily.
This allows your desire to be manifested,
especially if it is something small (see below).
Manifesting something small is incredibly easier than
something that really matters to you. In fact, most people complain that they
can manifest small things, but have no success when attempting to manifest
something more important. The reason? Of course, because they’re attached.
If they already have some spiritual growth, then of course
developing the appropriate state for the desire to manifest will be trivial.
So
as you see above, it is generally easy to do if the desire is small enough that
you can believe it, or simply not care about it.
But people are drawn to the law of attraction not because
they can manifest R500 on command, but because they really want something
important to them to manifest in their life.
Evaluate the Beliefs of Your
Subconscious Mind
Your
own subconscious beliefs could be holding you back as well. Your thoughts are
largely a manifestation of the beliefs held by your subconscious mind. If
your thoughts directly affect your inner state, and your thoughts arise from
your subconscious beliefs, then they can have a substantial effect on your
success with the law of attraction.
Changing
such beliefs is a gradual process. You notice when you have a thought that
matches one of your old, limiting beliefs, and you gently redirect it to the
new, desired belief. It is something I often help people with through my spiritual
coaching. I can help you to more easily and quickly change the limiting
beliefs of your subconscious mind, and discover new, more effective ways of
thinking and viewing the world.
Detaching from Your Desires
The
most important thing to do is to detach from your desires. I mentioned above
that attachment to your desires is the biggest problem for those who want to
practice the law of attraction.
To
be detached from your desires does not mean that you do not want them. It
simply means that you don’t need them.
It is truly freeing to be able to approach your desires with detachment, not
with need.
You will be open to seeing if something even better
manifests instead, because quite often, we simply don’t know what the best
thing is for us.
How to Surrender to God
Surrendering
to God will help with all the above. It will help you to create the perfect
inner state to manifest your desires in life, because you are no longer fearful
about material things.
It will help you to gradually change your subconscious
beliefs, because your old fear-based beliefs will be neutralized over time,
when you refuse to acknowledge them anymore.
It can help you to be open to manifesting larger
things in life, because you will see everything from a perspective of fullness,
not of lack.
Finally, it will allow you to detach from your desires,
because you realize you no longer need them, but you simply desire them.
So
how do you actually surrender? The first thing I would recommend doing is to
look for the ways that God is working in your life. See every positive
experience as a blessing, and every negative experience as a sign of God
pointing out your own resistance.
Observe
the synchronicity that is present in your life.
After
a few days of doing this, you will be convinced that God is walking with you
every step of the way. There is never a moment that God is not with you. When
you realize this, it becomes much easier to start surrendering to God.
Secondly,
start to practice mindfulness of your own inner state. Realize that you don’t
have to believe your thoughts. When a thought comes up you don’t like, or that
doesn’t feel good to you, simply be mindful of it. Simply observe it, allowing
it to be as it is. A thought starved of belief and engagement will quickly
dissolve.
If
your mind is like a garden, it is up to you to decide which seeds are allowed
to be planted. Refuse to allow bad seeds by not focusing on negative thoughts
and fears that arise. Allow good seeds to be planted by giving more attention
to your positive thoughts.
You
can’t always control your thoughts, but you can control
your focus. It will be hard at first, but the more you exercise your mental
focus, the easier it will become.
Do
not resist the negative thoughts. It is a very fine line between being mindful
of your negative thoughts, and actually resisting them. Simply sit in stillness
and let them be what they are. Neither believe them, nor resist them. Neither
cling to them, nor push them away. When a thought is ignored, it will go of its
own accord.
As
you do this, you will sense a center of peace beneath the storm of
negative thoughts. As you release the hold of your negative thoughts over you,
that peace will begin to come to the forefront, and shine through into your
everyday life.
Then you will truly begin to notice life going better for
you. The outer will be, as always, a reflection of the inner. You will have
outward abundance, just as you have inward abundance.
But the difference will be, you won’t care so much
anymore, because you already have it inside yourself. The neediness you once
felt will fall away, and instead you will have lasting fulfillment, to which
the positive things of life are drawn like a magnet. That is when you’ve
mastered the law of attraction, and learned the art of surrendering to God.
So,
what do you think? Are you making the mistake of being too attached to your
desires?
How have you learned to become more detached? What is your experience
with surrendering to God?

I have found that a spiritual linkage to a path, skill set, or concept allows me to remove myself from attachment to the outcome and how the end results look.
Off course I make mistakes and mess myself up from time to time; we all do that, but I’ve found that allowing my divine self to guide the process works
Since I knew that my attachment/focus personality was a detriment, to the process, I attached it to the ways in which I wanted to impact the world after discerning what energetically attracted me.
Ever since “I ran” into God in 1989, my focus has been on walking my higher path, even passing up jobs which would have increased my money flow in the short-term, but detracted from it. I have figured out that the size, shape, look and the concreteness of my outcomes don’t matter.
However, the way in which I apply myself to them does. I focus on application of spirituality and skill to my path.
It is not the job that you do, but the path.
The right spiritual path is the best way to create that flow of abundance and prosperity.
Once you get on that, the Co-Creation part begins; God will conspire with you to produce it through a variety of channels, which is why I am careful not to try to judge how the outcome will be presented to me.
Now of course, if I really desire something, then I ask for it, but I keep my mind open with the all this but something better statement, or something similar to make room for my higher self to do divine work within
I am so grateful that i have learned from Ockert J Moller. my coach and implimented his teachings in my life to let go and Let God have his way.
I am a student of him for the past 7 odd years and it is one of the mantras that we use for a long time.
Let go and let God have his wonderful wayoo.let go.!!!
Eventualy it got stuck and it is a lifestyle.knowing if i keep on bringing my best by dreaming.planning and working every thing.will worknout for the greater good for myself and every body involved in m life.
Surely as 2 + 2 " 4, as the sky is blue.the sun will rise again tommorow morning. every thing is already in place. It will appear in a magicaly. magnificently. amazingly.way for all to see.
I let go. and let God have his way. yes.let go.
That is a very true teaching we have received. Thank you. I have found that since I started a walk with God or as organised religion would say- since I was saved.. I realised that I do not want the things that I wanted in the past any more. Yes there are things that I would like to manifest but it is not a need so it is easy to let it go and "forget" about it. Sometimes it does manifest later. Sometimes not yet. I also found a concept of minimalism. This is based on the fact that things do not really make you happy and that you can have a fuller life with less clutter in it. Now I only have things that ads meaning and value to my life, This helps me detach from things I intent to manifest.
