My views on Jim Richards, The Anatomy of a Miracle

We've all heard the message: If you think you can, you can.

That is the central message of speaker Jim Richards, who appeared on "It's a New Day" this week. This message, which came from his series: "The Anatomy of a Miracle", is a new and possibly controversial one for many Christians. I, however, have been inspired by the hope-filled message.

Richards claims that God already made the provision for us to have healing, success, and a peace-filled life. All we have to do is receive what is already ours. How? Through our thinking.

This message rang true for me because I have heard and seen many successful people who claim to have "thought" their way to success. They have done this by believing in their success and not giving up. In fact, many claim they envision themselves being successful- despite the situation they may find themselves in.

Richards claims that believing something to the point of being convinced (sounds like faith) shifts our minds and the world around us to conform to that belief.

It may sound new age, but Richards shows how science and the Bible prove his theories.

What is neat about what Richards teaches is that we all have the capacity in ourselves, God -given, to be one of those kind of people.

I would encourage anyone, whether they are a Christian, Buddhist, Muslim, or atheist to watch the series on http://www.newday.org/. It is an intriguing message and may be just the catalyst for a shift in thinking that could change someone's world, or even the greater community they live in.

The message "If you think you can, you can", may have been proven scientifically. Watch or listen to the program to learn how.
