How many of you feel good when you experience the emotion of hate?  How about jealousy, anger, or resentment?  These emotions are all very low energy and are signals to us we are not in vibrational harmony with the mind of God.  God said in Genesis, Chapter one, He looked at all He had created and "It was very good."  The word "good" in the original Hebrew means; cheerful, to announce glad news, or tell good tidings.  The dictionary defines the word "good" as follows; virtuous, honorable, worthy, generous, loving, kind, pleasant, etc.  Each of these emotions carries a very high vibration.   
 
                    In Part One I also pointed out that at the foundation of the world, the morning stars sang and the sons of God shouted for joy!  Joy, being the high vibration of the Kingdom of God.  So from these verses we can certainly see, that all of creation was founded with high energy emotions.  I also pointed out that negative emotions, or low vibrations, originated in the mind of Adam.  Adam being in a state of separation from the mind of God began to feel ashamed, naked, and hid himself.
 
                    Jesus Christ came to bring us back into alignment with our original purpose as a God-Beings.  To bring us back into high energy vibrations and into harmony with the mind of God. The Word tells us that "in His presence is fullness of joy," and that "the joy of the Lord is our strength."  These verses let us know that empowerment comes with connecting to high vibrational emotions!
 
                    At all times we are between Joy and Dis-empowerment.  Our emotions are thermometers which let us know in which direction we are moving moment by moment.  Experiencing the high vibrations of Joy, Love, and Peace let us know we are moving towards God, and the emotions of hate, anger, resentment, Judgment, etc. prompt us that we are moving away from God, and into a place of dis-empowerment.  We must also know that whatever emotion we are vibrating out, attracts a matching signal back.
 
                    Many of you have seen the movie "The Secret" which explains the Law of Attraction.  The principle of this movie is Biblical and illustrates, what we focus on we manifest!  Two examples of this principle can be seen through the lives of Jacob and Abram.
 
                    When Jacob wanted to leave his father-in-law Laban, he said he would only take the spotted and speckled livestock because there were fewer of them.  He then took poplar branches and put stakes in them until white spots appeared on them.  He put them in the watering troughs where the cattle would be drinking morning and evening.  It says, "Jacob laid the rods before the eyes of the cattle in the gutters..." knowing full well what they focused on they would manifest!  He knew the secret!  They produced spotted offspring's and Jacob left with great wealth which Laban would have never offered him.  
 
                    Another example is when Abram and Lot had to separate the land they shared because they had become so rich there was not room for all their goods and livestock.  Lot, being a shrewed businessman, chose the best land for himself. He took the well watered plain of Jordan, while giving Abram the hilly land of Canaan.  It would seem that Abram's generosity, by letting Lot choose his portion first, got the best of him, but God showed him a secret principle which turned everything around. He told him, "Lift up now your eyes, look to the north, south, east and west and all the land you see (<i>or focus on</i>) I'll give to you and your seed." In other words, "Abram, get your focus off what you don't have and look up to a higher dimension, because once you see it, it's yours!"
 
                    I bring these examples in to illustrate a principle. It is the very same with our emotions. Our emotions let us know where our thoughts are and what we are focusing on. If we are feeling peaceful, happy, and joyful we are focusing on thoughts that have aligned us with higher energy emotions.  When we are feeling  badly, full of resentment, anger, and judgment we can know our thoughts have aligned us with lower energy emotions.  When in these low vibrational emotions, remember what God told Abram so many years ago...."Lift up your vision," for what you focus on you will manifest.  Make a U-turn and begin choosing thoughts of love, joy, peace, and forgiveness and your emotions will follow!
