Four Great Myths About The Law of Attraction
by
David Abram

There are many myths and misconceptions about the law of attraction. The greatest of these are: 1. Just visualize what you want and it will happen, 2. God won’t help you get wealth, 3. Money is the root of all evil, 4. This won’t work for me. These myths come from the minds and mouths of human beings. What does the word of God have to say?

Myth #1
Just visualize what you want and it will happen.
Many people have been mislead by this myth. You MUST take action. Without action NOTHING will happen. A wish without action is just that, a wish. A person that is filled with wishes and visualizations but takes no action will never see a change in their circumstances. We reap only what we sow, the bible is very clear on this point.

Galatians 6:7 "Make no mistake: God will not be mocked, for a person will reap only what he sows."

Proverbs 10:4 "Lazy hands make a man poor, but diligent hands bring wealth."

Myth #2
God won’t help you get wealth.
The Bible is filled with accounts of righteous, wealthy people. Read the stories of Solomon, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, David and Joseph of Arimathea, the list goes on. Wealthy people in the Bible were NOT condemned for their wealth. Some wealthy people in the Bible were condemned for the way they acquired their wealth, or for not helping the poor. God wants us to conduct our affairs honestly and he abhors dishonesty.

Proverbs 11:1 "The LORD abhors dishonest scales, but accurate weights are his delight."

Proverbs 22:16 "He who oppresses the poor to increase his wealth and he who gives gifts to the rich—both come to poverty."

Often times God rewarded righteous people with wealth.

Genesis 13: 14-17 "The LORD said to Abram after Lot had parted from him, 'Lift up your eyes from where you are and look north and south, east and west. All the land that you see I will give to you and your offspring forever. I will make your offspring like the dust of the earth, so that if anyone could count the dust, then your offspring could be counted. Go, walk through the length and breadth of the land, for I am giving it to you.'"

God wants us to be abundant in all things.

Second Corinthians 9:8 "Moreover, God is able to make every grace abundant for you, so that in all things, always having all you need; you may have abundance for every good work."

John 10:10 "I come so that they may have life and have if more abundantly."

Myth #3
Money is the root of all evil.
First and foremost, the law of attraction is not just about money. It can be applied in every aspect of your life. That being said let’s dispel this myth anyway. Money is not the root of evil. Can you build a church or feed the hungry without money? Can you care for the sick without money? Of course not! If you really want to help the less fortunate, make lots of money and use it to help them. The more you make the more you can help. Here is what the Bible really says.

1 Timothy 6:10 "For the love of money is the root of all evils".
Notice the difference? The LOVE of money is the root of all evil. When we love our possessions and our money too much, they become a false god. I think we all know how God feels about worshiping false gods.

Myth #4
This won’t work for me.
If you honestly believe that, then you are absolutely right. It won’t work for you. Belief is one of the fundamental keys to making it work. You have to have faith.

Matthew 8:13 "as you have believed, let it be done for you."

Matthew 9:29 "let it be done for you according to your faith."

I sincerely hope that this article will help dispell some of the myths about the law of attraction. Remember the words of Jesus as stated in John 10:10 "I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly."
