"Be careful about the kind of ideas that you are fascinated by. That's why I can never get with any kind of 'poor people's' movement.
The laws of life are psychological and the only way that you can change sociological conditions is, by first of all, changing psychological conditions.
It gets back to the Bible; and I'm still in it even though you never heard it like this before. It gets right back to what the Bible says, 'Be you transformed by the renewing of your mind.'
Social change can come about only by mind change.
And it gets right back to that basic old gospel: You must be born again.
You must be born out of the poverty idea, into the idea of prosperity.
You must be born again out of the idea of failure, into the idea of success.
You must be born again out of the idea of mediocrity, into the idea of greatness.
And nothing else is going to help until we change our psychology.
Again, be careful about the ideas that fascinate you. Beware of using your power of fascination negatively."
This is a quote from Rev. Ike's teaching, "Your Power of Fascination." Check the link in bio to get the full audio lesson.
