Exercise #4: Set your financial goals. By: Bishop Bernard Jordan

Here are the steps:

Step One: Set goals.

Think of your transformed mind as fuel. Once you do your mental housecleaning and begin saying to yourself, “I am the power of God made manifest. I am unlimited wealth and freedom from want,” that altered reality will begin to penetrate your subconscious and become your reality on all levels. But, to make that leap from thought to physical being, where you not only imagine your wealth but actually have it in your bank account, you must act in the physical world. Here your new thoughts and your vision of what’s possible will fuel and inspire you to plan, set goals, and take specific actions to turn your vision into experience.

When Steve Jobs wanted to build a new kind of computer, he first had to envision a goal, an end point. Then, fueled by his passion for his vision, he set specific goals and took a series of specific actions that ended up bringing that vision out of his mind and into the world – Apple Computers. When you start living the reality of your transformed thoughts, the next thing you must do is ask yourself, “What do I need to do to take the life I envision and bring it into physical experience?” Then start writing down specific goals and making plans. God is a planner. God is the ultimate cosmic architect. His blueprints encompass universes and whole realities. Yours need only encompass your goals.

One caveat: being wealthy is not a goal. That’s a state of being. Perhaps a better question to ask yourself is, how do you want wealth to transform your world? You might want to start a charity for the homeless, send your kids to Harvard, or have enough money to spend six months every year traveling and seeing this amazing world. When you’re thinking about your goals, be specific. Don’t focus on the idea of money, but on where money can take you. Remember, money is God at work in your life. It’s a tool for you to use as you choose.

Step Two: Be consistent.

Once you have your goals in mind and your new consciousness of prosperity, you must meditate on them every day until that new reality percolates down into every aspect of your being. You’ve got to keep giving the car gas so you keep moving forward. Keep proclaiming your new reality and your new prosperity until they filter into your subconscious, so that every night as you’re falling asleep and every morning when you wake, your last and first thoughts are, “I am prosperous. I am wealth. I am unlimited potential.”

As you drive this road, you’re going to run into hills. Keep giving the car gas and take those hills head on. It won’t always be easy, but the longer you persist in proclaiming your new state of being, the more true it will become in your Spirit. Once it’s true in your Spirit, becoming manifest through action is but a matter of time.

Step Three: Act.

Don’t be one of those people who forever make plans and never act on them. Such individuals dishonor God by squandering his potential, and their cup is even more bitter because they have the thoughts already; they just lack the ability to get off their behinds and take action. You can’t live entirely in your mind. You must act upon this physical realm to effect change.You need to make your cosmic “to do” list. You need to plan, to figure out all the small steps you must take to reach your goals, and take them. Every journey begins with a single step. Jesus journeyed one step at a time. So can you.

The absolute need for action, planning, and execution reveals why it’s so important to be consistent and unwavering in thinking and proclaiming your new reality, constantly telling yourself that you are already wealthy and successful. Planning and taking action is hard work, and if you don’t hold the absolute belief that success and abundance are you destiny, you will be more likely to get discouraged and quit before you reach the top of the mountain. But if you are already anointed by your vision and your passion, and your ceaseless proclamation that you are abundance, you won’t waver. You’ll know that you are walking in the steps of Jesus, fulfilling God’s intent for your being, remembering who you are.

So make plans and take action.

Step Four: Be patient. 

In Ecclesiastes, the Bible says that there is a time to every purpose under heaven. We call that “seed time and harvest.” You won’t be able to achieve all your goals overnight. God ordains each thing to happen in its own season. You are already a millionaire in your consciousness. Now you just have to give that consciousness time and stoke it with action to bring that reality into your physical world. But in some cases, the actions that you take — the seeds you plant — will not produce fruit right away. They will wait until the season is right, which could take months or years. Your task is to maintain your new mindset and to keep acting toward your goal. In time, your seed will spring to life.

Here’s an example of what I’m talking about. Let’s say you have decided that you want to start your own company. You’ve already altered your reality by telling yourself every moment of the day that you are a millionaire and that you have the skills and talents to change the world. Part of your plan is to make contact with people who can bless you with new ideas and skills. You hold to your vision and your plan and venture into the world. One day, you meet someone who shares your ideas. You talk and make a connection, but nothing comes of the meeting immediately. You move on with your plan. Three years later, you get a call from the person you met. He has an opportunity for you. Your passion and vision were so persuasive that he remembered you when the time was right. Yet if you had pursued him before the time was right, you would have appeared desperate.

You must be patient, stay the course, and let things come to bloom in their own time. If you keep to your vision, they will blossom.

 

How to do the exercise:

Nothing good happens without goals. You cannot “accident” your way to riches. So at this stage, we’re going to look at the specific goals you have for your life. Again, wealth is a state of being, not a goal. What goals do you have for your career, your interests, your relationships and so on? Write down your top three goals for the areas below, and — very important — when you would like them to manifest.

What are the specific goals you have for your life? When do you want to realize them?

Example:

  1. Launch My Own Independent Lable by 2008.

Example:

  1.  Lose 40 pounds and run the first marathon by late 2006.

 Example:

  1. Payoff credit cards debt by Christmas 2007.

  Example:

  1. Buy a sailboat and sail toTahiti by the time I’m 55

Congratulations. By writing down your specific goals, you have brought them into physical being! You’ve created a future reality where you have done the things that you envision yourself doing. Now all you need to do is catch up to that reality! That’s a divine power to ordain your own destiny, granted to you by God, who created you in His own image, as a Creator unto yourself.

    Cosmic Eonomics Blog is a powerful website. I am
    at work however I took time to read all of the above
    and it is inspiring.

  12. Carole Enem on June 29, 2006 at 4:34 pm

    I have been receiving emails and letters and you have inspired me. I understand most of the principles that you lay out so beautifully. I have been down and out and terrified. Things are on the mend and I am getting my life together. I am raising three boys on my own without child support or help from anyone. So I have been going through financial difficultites. I want so badly to send the money to get tapes and teachings. Everytime I get close one of the boys needs new shoes (he grew from size 10-12 in two months) or something gets in the way..
    I work as a recuiter and I love my job, I am working on getting my own business together with a partner but I don’t have money to get it set up sooner. So reading everything here I do feel the message is perfect…I just need to find out where I am letting myself down.
    Thank you all for your inspiration and sharing of your goals. God will bless you all..

    I hvae recieved several letters from you on prophecy.I know so often I feel that it takes qualifications to go in and possess the land. Thanks to your Set Financial Goals steps-it has made it easy for me to follow and take action. One of my difficult areas is patience. WOW! I admitted it and now I can experience more freedom while I wait on the “Right Time”. It important to keep on task while I am in this time of seeing my goals come to pass. This is first time that someone has given me encouragement without seeing the person face to face. Thanks Bishop Bernard Jordan

  22. Prophetess Regina on August 22, 2006 at 7:48 am

    Dear Grand Master Prophet:
    I truly am greatful for having you in my life, I am so glad to have been adopted into your family and you being my new Father since the death of my biological and step fathers. Cosmic Economics has been an inspiration to me and has taught me how I can manisfest my thoughts into the natural. My goals are to be a millionaire or near one by December 2006 and to have my personal businesses off the ground and prospering in order for me to help Zoe Ministries to grow and help other people searching for the truths you have to offer. I plan on having my own home in the next 3 months which has been prophesied to me on 4 different occassions. I plan to have my health on the right track by the next 8 to 10 weeks with the help of Bishop Shammah Womack, thank you for the referral. I plan to have my husband and son with me in completing my goals and aspirations concerning our fellowship with Zoe Ministries. Have my son working with Father Antoine in the audio visual department and to be mentored by you Grand Master Prophet. Also to renew my marriage vows which will allow me to drop my maiden name and just have my married last name. I am putting this plan into motion all because of your teachings on “What Every Woman Should Know About Men” and Breaking Soul Ties and Generational Curses.” Much love and this is my reality, which I already begun to write and made plain what needs to be done and get the ball rolling. My greatest desire is to be nurtured and mentored by you on a one to one basis. Humbly submitted; Prophetess Regina Croswell-Turner

    Master Prophet, one of my goal is for everyone in the entire world to purchase my t-shirts. Scripture based 2 Chronicles 7:14 If my people which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and heal their land. I truly believe if we all get on one accord or at-one with God, God would heal the land. Master Prophet my desire is to build God’s community, one community at a time.
