“The Bible is not interested in arguing, because if you state a thesis of belief you have already stated it's opposite; if you say, I believe in God, you have already suggested the possibility of not believing in him. [p.250]”

“Faith is belief in the unseen. If you have any kind of faith, you already believe in the unseen.”

“The moment you believe you will fail, you have already lost the battle.”

“You've witnessed what you c-c-c-call a miracle and now you believe-you believe everything," Pastor Merrill said. "But miracles don't c-c-c-cause belief-real miracles don't m-m-m-make faith out of thin air; you have to already have faith in order to believe in real miracles.”

“Decide what you want. Believe you can have it. Believe you deserve it and believe it’s possiblefor you. And then close your eyes and every day for several minutes, and visualize having whatyou already want, feeling the feelings of already having it. Come out of that and focus on whatyou’re grateful for already, and really enjoy it. Then go into your day and release it to theUniverse and trust that the Universe will figure out how to manifest it. “Jack Canfield”

“...it is not possible to create the opposite of what one has always known, simply because the opposite is believed to be desired. Human beings need what they already know, even horrors.”
