Law of Attraction Versus Bible

Couple days ago, Jack send me a movie named "The Secret". He told me this secret is compatible with ancient advanced Kung Fu. Once you understand it, there will be a breakthorugh in your life, be it to business, relationship, family etc. Wow. it sounds great ! 


Basically this movie divided into 3 parts, which are ask, believe and receive. 
Ask: After knowing what you want, ask the universe for it.
Believe: Feel it and believe it as if your desire is on its way
Receive: Align yourself with Universe and open yourself up to receiving.
By this three steps, your very wanted desire/things/dream will manifested. 

It sound so familiar to a christian! I can conclude that these are from bible. 
7"Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 8For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.   Matthew 7:7-8

23"I tell you the truth, if anyone says to this mountain, 'Go, throw yourself into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him.  Mark 11:23

Law of Attraction is just 2% of the bible! However, I would say that this Law of Attraction is not come from God but from Satan. I believe this practice will lead us to "success" but it did not lead us to God. The principle of living is correct but the fundamental of source of success is a big mistake. Law of Attraction leading people to ask from universe instead of God. I'm curious who and what is universe. In fact, God is the creator of the universe. By this point, I planned to share with Jack that the source of success is come from God. Well, we managed to have a short and merely discussion on this topic. According to Jack, as long as he success in having what he desire, he would not care the origin of the source. 

Man plants the seed, but if there is no sunlight and rain, can a man get the harvest ? Of course no ! Law of Attraction is leading people to believe that their succeed is come by their own effort and hard work. Besides that, I wonder the power of universe is come from God or satan. We have to be clear with.

According to Matthew 6:33, 33But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Seek God kingdom means making God as our very first priority , acknowlegdge Him in every area of our life nnd His Righteousness refers to Jesus. We are righteousness in God's eye not by our own good work but by Jesus. Enlighten by Pastor Prince's sermon, we have to be Jesus' concious instead of sin concious. From the bible, all the good things happen to God's righteous man/ woman. Jesus concious will lead us to be concious of what He had paid for us. After knowing it, believe that we are righterous man/woman of God, act like it and believing that all the good things are circulating our life and it happens !  

God had already gave us His Son, Jesus. If we think that God is not going to give us health, wealth, a job..etc, it means that health, wealth...are more valuble than His Son. How could it be ?
