Manifestation Miracles: Is Causation DECISIONAL? Decisions and the Two-edged Sword of YHWH
Have you noticed that manifestation miracles depend on decisions? They are decision based, and ARE decisions:
Neville Goddard decided he wanted to return to Barbados, and his brother in Barbados not knowing that decided to pay for his trip. Neville decided to ask for a discharge from the Army, and his commander decided to grant that. Neville decided to sail on the last possible ship out of Barbados, and the steamship company decided to choose him to fill the one cancellation. In case histories, someone decided to ask for an apartment, or for a letter, or for a property, or the selling of a property, or a painting, or healing, or millions of dollars, and every decision was miraculously answered by a decision made by somebody.
You decide that you want a job. Someone has to decide to give it to you. Same for a promotion. A young woman decides to feel loved and secure and happy in marriage. A young man decides to provide her all that. A blind woman decides the bus takes too long. Men who don't even know her decide to give her rides to and from work. If I decided that I wanted an early release from jail; someone would have to decide to grant it. God makes them decide . . . with his decision. "Delight thyself also in YHWH, and He gives thee the desires of thine heart" (Psalm 37:4 KJV sans future tense). God gives us the desires of our hearts in two ways: He gives us the desires of our hearts in what we desire, and he gives us the desires of our hearts in their fulfillment. We decide what we really want, and he causes decisions to grant it.
God is imagination, the Original Mind we are all connected to (or rather are in and of). No one resists Him: "The king's heart is in the hands of YHWH, as the rivers of water He turneth it withersoever He will" (Proverbs 21:1 KJV). If the king's heart, then why not whomever's heart is necessary to grant what you want? We are all one.
Ahh, but there is magic involved: "Delight thyself also (in addition to your desire) in YHWH," God's action in saving you: Jesus Christ. Remember Jairus? He was a decision, a desire that over the years had never got off the ground. His desire was fruitlessly bleeding, impotent. Until he called on Jesus. "Come save me." The desire but touched the hem of YHWH's garment (He is wearing you) and the decision that Jairus was became alive and ready to bear fruit. It is Jesus who will convert us into the decision of the Ineffable, Its assumption, that we be It.
I have been thinking, talking, writing about assumptions. They are decisions. We make an assumption; that is a decision. I want to be successful. Someone else is COMPELLED by God to hire me, or to train me, buy from me, give me money -- whatever. God gives me the desire in my heart, and God gives someone or something else to fulfill that desire WITH A DECISION. Faith is a two-edged sword. The Greek and Hebrew for word for 'edged', I just read on the internet, means "mouthed." A two-mouthed sword. Jesus is depicted as having a two-mouthed sword coming out of his mouth (Hebrews 4:12 and Revelation 1:16). The two mouths are our mouths in asking, and the other's mouth in granting what we ask for. Or maybe it is YHWH's mouth in agreeing with us. We say it, and he says it, and that is it. Anyway, the Law of Attraction is a God denying fantasy. Money doesn't just appear on the table. Someone decides to put it there because God moves them to do so.
You want a job or a raise? Ask God/Jesus/YHWH to give you grace with the employer and to bring about what you desire. I got through a lot of tests at university by asking Jesus to bring to my remembrance what I had read and heard. I know he does it. "When it works, you have found him: your own, wonderful, human imagination." Causation is DECISIONAL. I decided to trust him for healing. He decided I was healed, and I was. Decide what to ask for, what you really want. Make the decision, delight in YHWH (his YES action providing for you), and assume a decision to grant your desire has already been made.
The sword is your assumption, your experiential decision and continuing faith. "The word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth and in thy heart, that THOU mayest do it" (Deuteronomy 30:14 KJV, emphasis mine). This is where we demonstrate faith. This is where we find the way back to the Paradise. We decide, believe, delight, and receive. Assumption is believing that you do not lack what you desire because it is ALREADY received, because God has created all and no one resists him. The decision exists somewhere: He has already granted your request, and He will perform it . . . through somebody's decision. They are all him. Seriously, in Genesis 3:24, Adam has entered ignorance and lost sight of paradise, the presence of God in us. So God places the cherubim and THE FLAMING SWORD TURNING EVERY DIRECTION to keep the way back to him. Every decision you make you can give him to fulfill.
May I suggest that the tithes that are to be brought into the storehouse so that there might be meat in God's house (Malachi 3:10) are DECISIONS submitted to Him to act upon? Meat is something he can work with: an ASSUMPTION. Test him in this: Consciously decide what you want, what you need, deny that you don't have it and assume that you do, and give that to God in prayer (praise, thanksgiving) to fulfill. Yes, you will still need to fill in applications, make bids or whatever, but his giving success after success shows us the experience of Paradise.

Hey this post is amazingly helpful. Question. When you prayed to Jesus about your tests, at that time you were praying (and believing) to the historical man as you then understood "Jesus", and not imagining? But you had faith in your prayer answered. Prayer means thanksgiving: "Thank you Father God for..." So what purpose does the imaginal act serve? God needs this to know what you desire? That can't be since he both gives the desire and fulfills it.

Len,
No, we laughed at the idea that God was imagination. But I knew that Jesus monitors my mind 24/7 and hears every thought I think, is way ahead of me in what I am planning, is the over-all director, coordinator, and orchestrator; and is powerful to speak to my mind, to direct my choices. And we are not to be fatalistic. This is education, training for what we are to DO. We are action; His action. My prayer was a combination of desperation and faith. And yes, thanks. So what purpose does the imaginal act serve? Bro, this is Life: YHWH. We are one. Yes, he gives the desire and its fulfillment, and WE ARE THE ACTIVE AGENT IN THE MIDDLE. Be in it.

What I mean is your prayer was answered without your imagining the wish fulfilled, and without your belief in yourself as the operant power. It must have been your faith, that God as you then understood him would answer in your favor. That is the traditional way we are taught to pray.
"No one resists Him." Do you wonder how often you're on the other end of that equation? Being moved to "decide" something in answer to another? Makes free will seem moot.

We're playing systematic theology, breaking a whole into pieces and making an impassible mess of it.
