1 Know Thy Neighbor...you shall love your neighbor as yourself: I am the LORD. Leviticus 19:18 CHAPTER NINE I am in the business of being, getting, multiplying, and just being rich. I am in the neighborhood of the rich. Understand that just because a person lives next door to you, does not mean they are your neighbors. A next-door neighbor is a person that is next door in consciousness. Everyone that is around you is not your next-door neighbor. There are a lot of people that I have rubbed into today, but we are not in the same neighborhood, because we are not vibrating at the same frequency. My neighbors vibrate at the same frequency as I do. Therefore, it is important for you understand what a neighborhood is. 159

2 160 Chapter Nine: Know Thy Neighbor Principle #1 A next-door neighbor is a person that is next door in consciousness. You used to think that neighborhood existed, because a person lived right next door to you. In one way that was true. But, as you evolved in consciousness, you began to notice that your zip code started to change. You became more filled with the principles of God s work. Your zip code changed. Your housing situation changed. No longer will you be able to live at just any address. Consciousness chose the right place for you to live, the place you are supposed to be. Your work station has changed. Principle #2 When you evolve in consciousness, and become more filled with the principles of God s work, your zip code will change. And those people vibrating around you will also change. As a matter of fact, you will have a grieving period, a postpartum depression. There is someone on you right now, someone tied to you by an umbilical cord, that God is about to sever. God is about to get someone off your breast that has been nursing on you and has become a parasite. You have to watch out for parasitical relationships. Neighbors are there to be a blessing not a curse. Relationships that drain you are not worth having. That is why there is a fine line between being a mentor, and mentoring someone who has become a parasite.

3 The Business of Getting Rich 161 Principle #3 Relationships that drain you are not worth having. Every mentor has to be discerning. Everything that is hanging is not hanging on for life. Some people are just sucking, but not doing it for the purpose of living. They are sucking for the same reason that a full baby sucks, just to be pacified and lulled off to sleep. Not only should you discern the one whom you will mentor in life, but you also must watch out for individuals who will show up in your life in the name of volunteerism. So many people will come into your life saying, I m here to help you. Often those relationships end up in failure and much hurt. Why? It is that parasitical people do not bring anything to add to your life, but when you add up the sum total at the end of the year, you find that they just took, took, took, and took! You, no one else, are responsible to get those parasites out of your house and out of your life. Like vampires, these takers come out at night when they cannot see any daylight. They live off your life because they do not have a life. Get a life! And make sure that you only hang out with people that have a life, too. This is your wake-up call. Honestly ask this question. Am I a parasite or do I have parasites in my life? If your neighbor is a parasite, they will suck the life out of you and leave you dead. Perhaps you might be a bit perturbed by my frankness. Go ahead and get mad. I want to provoke you to take action. Unless you get angry about your present, you will not come into a new future. Your future only comes, and is based upon the condition of your anger today. As long as you can live with today, today will become tomorrow.

4 162 Chapter Nine: Know Thy Neighbor Principle #4 Unless you get angry about your present, you will not come into a new future. The moment you say, This is it. Enough is enough, then today is thrown into the oven. Your today can be the tomb or the womb. You choose. Your today can be the day you bury that thing, or cause that thing to become resurrected. If you are learning to live with it, then you are negotiating with life. How can you keep this baby alive? When you have had enough, you will say, Bury this baby, knowing that it was really never a baby in need of sustenance but, rather, a blood-sucking parasite. It s up to you to know the difference. BEWARE OF THE THIEF The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. John 10:10 Whoever tries to bring you a god that is not-for-profit, is actually brining you God upside down, which is the devil. Anything that s not for-profit, is a thief. And the thief comes for one reason in three parts

5 The Business of Getting Rich 163 to steal, kill, and destroy. In summation the thief comes for this reason to take your life away. Now most people would instantly think that this life that the thief comes to take away is as in killing you physically. But he does something far worse than that, he comes to steal and to destroy your consciousness if you let him. You give rise to the devil by what you create and entertain in your thoughts. Aside from that, there is no devil. The thief introduces false concepts about being poor when, in fact, there is no one who is really poor. Since we are created in the very image and likeness of God Almighty, we cannot be poor. If we were truly poor then that would mean that God, too, is poor since we are just like Him. Nothing about nature spells welfare. Poverty is a state and condition of the mind, one that the thief implanted with your permission. Principle #5 The thief will steal and destroy your consciousness, if you let him. Go into a field, and you ll see weeds. Weeds do not spell lack. The trees are getting ready to blossom shortly, and when they come out they go all out with such an extravagant display of beauty and splendor. When they drop, they drop it all. They do not save a seed for the next year. They let all of their colorful leaves fall down to the ground because they know within that them, that they will get it all back again. When you have no fear of getting, you

6 164 Chapter Nine: Know Thy Neighbor have no fear of giving. Do you want to know why you cannot give it all away? Because you are not certain that you will create it all again. Principle #6 The only shortage in you, is in your mind. Trees get a new wardrobe every year. They get a whole new set of clothing, and they are flamboyant about it. Nothing in nature spells poverty. Nothing in nature spells lack. Therefore, it is against our nature when lack is present. The presence of lack only can exist in us when there is a lie roaming around within us. Where there is lack, there is a lie. Nature is an inexhaustible storehouse of riches. The supply will never run short. God would have never put all of us on the planet and there not be enough gold to sustain all of us. There is no shortage in nature. The only shortage in you, is in your mind. Have you ever wondered why a millionaire can lose everything that he or she has earned, and in one or two months earn back everything and then some? Why is this? The millionaire mind knows that the same place from whence they received their first allotment of millions still exists. It is the Source of all things. The millionaire s creed is, If I can make it once, surely I can twice, and three times if necessary. Most millionaires realize that the thief comes to tamper with the mind. That is why many rich people spend massive amounts of money on things that will enhance the mind. The poor spend on things that minister to the needs of their flesh concerts, parties, clothing, CD s, I-Pods, so on. Of course, rich people buy into

7 The Business of Getting Rich 165 these things, too. The difference is that the poor buy these things exclusively to deal with their everyday problems. Theses things become their release. The rich buy into things that invest into the mind seminars, books, tapes, teaching CD s, weekend intensive trainings, and the likes thereof. Rich people refuse to buy the lie that the thief comes to implant. What is the lie? Here is the big lie there is shortage in the earth, or there is shortage in God. Guarding yourself from this mindset will not only protect you but it will cause you to grow in wealth beyond your wildest dreams. So what, you suffered a bad quarter. That only means that next quarter should be off the charts. There are acres of raw land, just a few miles north of New York that are uninhabited. There is enough room on the planet for everyone to have a mansion and extra acreage to run around on. You can leave your windows wide open and never have to use blinds again. Abundance is all around you. INDESTRUCTIBLE YOU Matter cannot be destroyed; it can only change forms. That is why you will never die. You cannot be destroyed by anyone. The only one that can destroy you is you. You will just change forms. Right now, you are man, meaning human. When you get tired of being man, you will die and go back to being god in another form. Just like that, you change form. God, in His Infinite Wisdom, decides what is for your highest and best good. Even if you came backe as a rock, even rocks can speak. God said, if you do not praise him, the rocks will cry out.

8 166 Chapter Nine: Know Thy Neighbor And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out. Luke 19:40 You shall say unto this mountain, be thou removed, and it shall obey you. Mountains will move for you. All things in nature have ears, because all things are some form of life. Is God expressing Himself in those forms? God expresses Himself in everything that is. Everything that is, is God. There is only One Mind. It is the sum total of just One God. There is only One God, only One Power, only One Mind. There is one mind, yet many ideas. Every person on earth is just an expression of God s idea. So you are an expression of God in your own unique sense. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. John 1:1-5

9 The Business of Getting Rich 167 When the scripture speaks of the light of men, another way of looking at this is the light of manifestation. In the beginning was the Word. In the beginning was Thought. In the beginning was an idea. All of it was with God. That is why you meet no one for the first time on this plain. We already met each other in the eternal past, in the One Mind, which is in the One God. I even believe we chose our brothers and sisters. We made an agreement to come to the planet and show up in the same household to work out our challenges and differences, just to discover the fact that we can overcome. Principle #7 The only one that can destroy you is you. The point is that when we arrived on earth, we forgot everything about our divine nature, and now we have to remember who we are all over again. We have been taught all about our divinity and our invisibility, about your faults and failures, about your weaknesses and frailties. But you have not been taught that ye are gods. Psalm 8. That is why Jesus had to come, not to reveal Himself to you, but to reveal yourself to you. You needed to know who you are. Jesus went through major extremes to reveal himself to me and you.

168 Chapter Nine: Know Thy Neighbor Principle #8 In the beginning was thought. In the beginning was an idea. All of it was with God. Jesus came down through forty and two generations.

10 168 Chapter Nine: Know Thy Neighbor Principle #8 In the beginning was thought. In the beginning was an idea. All of it was with God. Jesus came down through forty and two generations. It looked like he was orchestrating everything from the other side, even to the fact of getting Rahab a prostitute in his bloodline, and Ruth, who were not even Israelites. Rahab, was a whore. Ruth was a Moabite. He had all of these people in his bloodline who were not supposed to be anything. They were destined for failure. They had no business even in the family of God. Jesus set it all up, and then turned around and allowed conditions to happen so that Mary and Joseph would be forced out of an area, and the Christ child would be born in Bethlehem. Because of a tax situation, God stirred things up, so that Jesus would be born in the location that He was supposed to be born. You have created all the drama that is in your life, including what is happening right now. You created it. You set it up. When you remember it, you can come

11 The Business of Getting Rich 169 out of it. Even that piece of hell you married, that crazy family you married into, those half-retarded children that you are living with all of that drama is your creation. Just own it. Once you do that, it will land you in a specific place. Perhaps you thought that you could not withstand the pressure, and that you would die in the struggle. Well, guess what? You are still here, stronger and wiser than ever. You were built to last, just like God. MISSING THE NEIGHBORHOOD? Why did Lot s wife turned into a pillar of salt? The thing that was preserving her caused her to look back. Salt is a preserver. It preserves the thing that you fixate your attention on. Until that idea could be destroyed in her, she could not move on. Therefore, life reduced her to the very thing that was preserving Sodom in her. There is nothing wrong with salt. The question is what is it preserving? The very thing that the salt is preserving in you is what needs to be rooted out from you. What idea in you is being preserved? What thing do you keep looking back at, longing to go back to? What idea is it that is roaming around in you that you keep nurturing? It is not the salt that is the problem in this case, because you cannot have impact unless there is contact. What is your salt having contact with, that it is preserving, that it needs to let go?

170 Chapter Nine: Know Thy Neighbor Principle #9 The very thing that the salt is preserving in you is what needs to be rooted out from you. What are you flirting with? What are you dating?

12 170 Chapter Nine: Know Thy Neighbor Principle #9 The very thing that the salt is preserving in you is what needs to be rooted out from you. What are you flirting with? What are you dating? What are you allowing to hang around your temple? What is it that you are preserving? What thing are you holding onto? If I can get you to have one thought today, maybe you will change that idea that you have been preserving for far too long. Some things, especially those things that do not bear fruit or profit, need to be let go. THE WORD WAS MADE FLESH There is a powerful dynamic in the words that you speak. God made all things. Let s look at how God made all things. John 1:14, And the Word was made flesh,... A word is something that is not seen, but at the same time a word is made flesh. Every person on planet earth originally began as a word sent from God. Words are spirits. It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh

13 The Business of Getting Rich 171 profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. John 6:63. All words are spirit. When you understand that all words are spirit, it will help you tremendously. Spirits are always looking for a body to inhabit. Spirits are always looking for a body to manifest in. That is why the power of life and death is in your tongue. The words that you are speaking are always looking to incarnate themselves in your experience. That word, that spirit, will seek to manifest itself and will create whatever you are saying. That word will manifest itself in your experience. You are hung by your tongue. You are so hung by your tongue that you have to go out and cancel some stuff in order to unhang yourself. That s how powerful your words actually are. When you begin to name a person, and it is contrary to the nature of God, it may be very possible that you are breaking one of the commandments by bearing false witness. Principle #10 All words are spirit. There are two ways to bear false witness. You can bear false witness by naming something contrary to that for which it was ordained. You also bear false witness when you are supposed to be god and yet you are testifying of being something else, God-in-manifestaton. Bearing false witness is being or becoming something that God never ordained you to be. God ordained you to be in His image, and that is His likeness. He ordained you to be god. So, since you have been ordained to be god, you have to make sure that you bear that witness and have a true testimony.

14 172 Chapter Nine: Know Thy Neighbor Testimony service in its most genuine sense should be you bearing witness to the fact that you manifested divinity this week. Words are Spirit, and all Spirit looks manifest Itself. It looks to show up in your experience. Why? John 1:14 says, And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us.. That same Word that was in the beginning with God is the same Word that was in the beginning with you. That word seeks to be made flesh. Every one of your words seeks to manifest itself in your life. What are you saying out loud to yourself? Principle #11 Spirits are always looking for a body in which to manifest. What are you saying in your thoughts? What are you continually saying? Those words are looking to show up in your tangible manifested reality. Every achiever uses the power of words to communicate to the universe exactly what he or she expects to receive. You literally write your ticket and order whatever you so desire with your words. Then you bring that thing into existence through your constant meditation on that thing. Your thoughts then become things. CALLING IT FORTH Some women desire husbands, but have not yet made a husband yet with their words. You have to speak him into existence. Your mate does not exist yet in your life, because of the word that you have not yet spoken

15 The Business of Getting Rich 173 forth. When you start to speak the word forth, that word will seek to be made flesh, and that word will seek to dwell among you, so that you can behold the glory as of the only begotten of the Father. John 1:14. Father does not suggest the Heavenly Father, as an old man sitting on the throne with a long white beard. Father simply means the Originator. The only begotten of the Father, or the only begotten of the Original Thought, is what you are. God made you in His Image and after His Likeness as a mind, so that you could beget sons, which are better known as ideas. Now, I want to ask you, how many children do you have? All of your ideas are your babies. If you do not like the babies that are around you, reform those ideas in your mind. An unruly child means you must train and discipline that child. You must train up your child in the way that he should go. When you do this, when that idea gets old or becomes mature, it will not depart from the training. Principle #12 When you start to speak the word forth, that word will seek to be made flesh, and that word will seek to dwell among you, How many babies did you make today? You have to be careful with whom you fellowship. Whoever talks to you is having intercourse with you. I know that may be a bit deep, but it s true. Everyone you talk with is trying to penetrate you, mentally. Everyone you talk with is trying to take your virgin mind. That is why the Bible says, Take heed to what you

16 174 Chapter Nine: Know Thy Neighbor hear. Your ear has a hole in it so that a seed can go down into it. Why do you think your ear is shaped like an embryo? Do you think that your ear s shape is coincidental? Your body parts are messengers. That is why, when two people come together, just talking, something is born that could not have been born unless those two people came together, and out came an idea. These are divine laws. When you start living at this level, now you have to be watchful about what you listen to. Why do you think there are copyright laws, trademarks, trying to claim who the daddy is? They are making babies. An invention is a baby you just made. You may raise a child that has always been good and well-behaved. Suddenly, they get around someone else and they start acting stupid. Someone else has put a seed in them that is growing and you, as a parent, have to uproot that weed that was sown in your child s mind. Somehow they fellowshipped with someone, and their words, went in through an opening of the eye-gate or the ear-gate. You may have seen it before. A person is doing well in a church. They talk to someone negative. Suddenly their cycle is broken. They were in church every Sunday, every Tuesday, and every Thursday. Suddenly, they are only in church once a month. Who broke their cycle? An unassuming neighbor spoke forth words into their souls. Before you criticize the one who is speaking to you, first take a good look at yourself. You really meet no one in life but you. Evaluate self! Have you been sleeping with the enemy? Words are powerful. They can break into actions. Thoughts break into ideas. The spirit is always seeking a body,

17 The Business of Getting Rich 175 even the Holy Spirit. Why do you think He wants to fill you? The Holy Spirit cannot move in this realm unless He is moving through a body. When you really understand, the Kingdom is really the invasion of body snatchers. Everything is about a body. Even when you get born again, you become a member of the body of Christ. Jesus said, The foxes have holes, and the birds have nests; but the Son of man has not where to lay His Head. Matthew 8:20. Now, you thought, esoterically, that meant he did not have a crib to sleep in. Wrong. What He really meant, was that He had no head to put on a body. So, he walked the earth to build a body, died and rose again for the body of Christ, and then Jesus became the head of His own body. Every one of you has been brought to earth to build a body. Be sure that you are doing the right exercise. Father-God-in-me, I thank You now for the present reality of who I am and who I am called to be. I decree right here and right now that success, prosperity, and wisdom are manifesting in my life, in all shapes and forms. I decree right now that divine ideas come out of me now. I decree right now that I move forward into godly ideas. I am making godly children, children that will multiply and bring nothing but good back to me. I am God s idea. I am on the planet to manifest, to demonstrate and to bring forth the highest good that I am called to do. Father-God-in-me, I thank You now for liberty.
