you give power to what you believe in

Few weeks ago in the morning, I was listening to the radio where the hosts were talking about ghost since it was going to be Halloween and one of the host said this, “Don’t be afraid of ghosts because they are just the reflections of our fear” – hmm, interesting.

Either we realise it or not, what we believe is reflected in our lives. When you believe in something, it becomes real for you.

For example, if I believe in God then God is real for me and I can see His power is working in my life. But, for those who don’t believe in God, God is not real and for them, He has no power in their lives. Why? Because you give power to what you believe in.

I watched Doctor Strange last night and the movie spoke exactly the same message. What is in your mind, forms your reality meaning you give power to what you believe. If you believe that you can do something then you can do it, no matter what other people might say to you.  

As I thought of this, I was reminded by a verse in the Bible that said, “And so he (Jesus) did only a few miracles there because of their unbelief.” (Matthew 13:58, NLT) - The background story was: Jesus hung out in his hometown, but since nobody believed that the son of a carpenter could perform miracles, He couldn’t do much because they don’t believe in Him.

If someone don’t believe in you, then no matter what you do, it won’t change their mind if they have set it that way. Thus, whatever you do will be useless because they cannot see it. And it also applies for yourself, if you don’t believe in yourself then you will never know that you could actually do more than you are now.

Remember that you give power to what you believe in.

If you believe in yourself, then you will give power to yourself to do things that you may not know that you can do it. If you believe in your dreams, then you will give them power to become true. If you believe that you can’t do something then you will never be able to do it. If you believe that you are a failure then you will fail in everything you do. If you believe that you are nothing then people will see you as nothing.

Thus, believe in the right things.

Believe in kindness then you will be surrounded by kindness, believe in courage then you will be brave, believe in integrity then you will gain trust, believe in perseverance then you will see the result, believe in yourself then you will do things you don’t know before that you can do it.  

Believe in the right things and you will give power to the right things to happen in your life.
