Almost everyone has heard the saying, “Ask, and it is given.” Well, to those who do not understand the principle of the meaning, it doesn’t make a whole lot of sense.

As found in Matthew 7 : 7 & 8 -  7 “Ask and it shall be given you: seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: 8 For everyone that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.” That implies to all areas of your life, in addition to connecting with God and Christ.

Little do many of us know just how  powerful emotions  really are.  Emotions have energy of vibrational frequencies at a quantum level.  The more emotional charge you have about something or someone, the more powerful the vibration.  The image above illustrates the power of emotion.

What to Eat to Lose Weight &  Gain Muscle I'm often asked what to eat to lose weight and gain muscle. If you want to fuel your muscles instead of your fat stores, then make eating clean a top on your priority list. Eating clean consist of eating protein with eat meal and snack. I've enjoyed the benefits of eating protein with every meal I eat, including snacks. It keeps me lean and aids in keeping me in tip-top shape.

By the end of the day when they get home from work they're ravenous and end up eating the entire pantry filled with sugars, preservatives and sodium. Before they know it an hour of overindulging goes by then soon after painful bloating and indigestion kicks in.
