Creative Thought

I PROJECT MY RIGHT THOUGHTS AND RIGHT FEELINGS INTO VISIBILITY. I THANK GOD FOR THE CREATIVE POWER THAT GIVES LIFE TO MY DREAMS.

Do you ever feel that life is working against you? Do you wonder why certain things happen to you? Do you believe you have no control over your life? It is important to realize that our life experiences do not happen to us, but through us. Life is not like a movie played before our eyes over which we have no control. We create our life experience by the careful choice of thoughts and feelings.

All the world may be a stage, but we are more than merely players, and certainly more that spectators. We function like the projectionist who takes movies and projects them into visibility. Consider the thoughts of your conscious and subconscious mind as images on film. The musical score is determined by your feelings. Our mind’s eye is like the projector that creates the movie experience the projectionist desires.

What kind of images are you projecting? Tragedies or comedies? Soap operas or joyous musicals? Exciting adventures or boring reruns? If you want to change your life experience, start by changing the thoughts and feelings you project. No one else can do this for you. Follow the advice of Paul: “Whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely…think on these things.” By thinking these thoughts we project them into the kind of life we desire.

For the vision is yet for the appointed time; it hurries toward the goal and it will not fail. Though it delays, wait for it, for it will certainly come; it will not delay long. (Habakkuk 2:3)

Your Divine Plan

By Rev. Joyce Kramer

Transcript of a radio broadcast by Rev. Joyce Kramer, January 21, 2014.

What do you want out of life? Do you know? Few people have any real concrete picture of just what they want out of life. Consequently it seems that they live at the mercy of someone or something other than themselves. Thus we have the belief that we are the victim of things over which we have little or no control.

Each and every person is created with the ability and the power to determine his own future. Man is not at the whim of fate, luck, or chance. Neither is he created to be at the mercy of another person [ . . .]

The Joyce Kramer Ministries logo depicts a dogwood tree planted across the entrance to the church that Rev. Kramer founded in Virginia Beach. Transplanted from her brother’s property in Charlottesville, for eighteen months the tree seemed nothing more than a lifeless stick in the ground. Finally, on a Wednesday afternoon, the decision was made to dig it up, but the lawn maintenance man did not have a shovel with him. The next week, he said, he would come back and discard the dead tree. But that Sunday when Rev. Kramer arrived at church, she noticed a single leaf had appeared on the otherwise barren stick. They left the tree in place, and it grew into one of the most beautiful on the property. This flowering dogwood represents the message of Joyce Kramer Ministries: Growth is always possible; never give up.
