activate your abundance: why lack is an illusion

it is done.

In this empowering episode of It Is Done, host Nisha dismantles the myth of lack and reveals how abundance is not something to be attained, but a reality already present. By shifting from a scarcity mindset to an abundance consciousness, you can unlock the flow of blessings in your life. Nisha explores biblical teachings and personal insights to help you see abundance as an inherent state, rather than something you need to chase. Learn how to activate abundance through gratitude, faith-driven action, and reframing limiting beliefs.

Key Discussion Points:

1. Understanding the Illusion of Lack:

• The idea that lack is an illusion means that scarcity is not an accurate reflection of reality, but a barrier created by the mind.
• The story of the widow and the oil in 2 Kings 4:1-7 demonstrates that abundance was present, but it required faith and action to reveal it.
• When we focus too much on what is missing, we miss out on the blessings that are already available. Shift your awareness to open your eyes to the abundance around you.

1. Shifting from Scarcity Mindset to Abundance Consciousness:

• Moving from scarcity to abundance begins with transforming your mindset. Romans 12:2 urges us to renew our minds to change our reality.
• Scarcity mindset manifests in limiting thoughts like "I’m not enough" or "I need more." Replace these thoughts with affirmations of abundance.
• By aligning your thoughts and actions with the belief that there is more than enough, you create a mindset that attracts opportunities and blessings.

1. Activating Abundance Through Gratitude and Faith-Driven Action:

• Gratitude is a powerful tool for shifting your focus from lack to abundance. 1 Thessalonians 5:18 encourages giving thanks in all circumstances.
• Faith-driven action brings your belief in abundance to life. As James 2:17 states, faith without action is incomplete. Take steps that align with living an abundant life, such as being generous or investing in yourself.

1. Practical Applications and Exercises:

• Daily Gratitude Practice: Write down five things you are grateful for each morning. This practice shifts your focus to abundance from the start of your day.
• Reframe Limiting Thoughts: Identify thoughts of scarcity and replace them with affirmations of abundance. Consistent reframing leads to a mindset shift.
• Faith-Driven Action: Take one daily action that reflects your belief in abundance. It could be as simple as investing in self-care, giving to others, or making a small purchase with confidence.

1. Guided Visualization:

• Close your eyes and imagine being surrounded by abundance in all forms—love, opportunities, resources. Let this visualization guide your actions for the day.

Key Scriptures Referenced:

• Philippians 4:19: "And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus." This verse emphasizes the limitless nature of God’s provision.
• 2 Kings 4:1-7: The story of the widow and the oil illustrates that abundance is already present and requires faith-driven action to manifest.
• Romans 12:2: "Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind." Shifting your mindset from scarcity to abundance changes your reality.
• 1 Thessalonians 5:18: "Give thanks in all circumstances." Gratitude is key to activating abundance.
• James 2:17: "Faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead." Abundance requires not just belief, but also action.

Practical Activation Plan:

• Morning Gratitude Practice: Start each day by writing down five things you’re thankful for to set a tone of abundance.
• Reframe Limiting Beliefs: Each day, identify and replace one scarcity thought with an affirmation of abundance.
• Daily Action Step: Take one faith-driven action that reflects living in abundance, such as giving generously, investing in yourself, or taking a step toward a goal.
