The fourth law of progression: Mentally Achieve Before Physically Accomplishing
“This day will the Lord deliver thee into mine hand and I will smite thee and take thine head from thee.” - 1 Samuel 17:46
This is perhaps the most significant of all the laws. Before we accomplish anything in the physical realm we need to first accomplish it in our mind.
In the passage above we read of one of the most interesting incidents in the Bible. While the entire Israelite army cowered in fear before the Philistine giant, Goliath, who had challenged any man from the Israelite army to a duel, David, a young shepherd alien to the ways of war, bravely steps out and, to everyone’s amazement, kills Goliath.
How did this teenage shepherd boy accomplish such a seemingly impossible feat? In 1 Samuel 17:46, we find David declaring what he was going to achieve that day and how he was going to achieve that. In his mind, David had already seen the victory and this was the secret of his success. To paraphrase Henry Ford, whether we think we can or we think we can’t, we are right. If we cannot picture ourselves achieving our goals in our mind, it will be impossible to carry out our mission. Hebrews 11:1 says “Faith is the substance of things hoped for and evidence of things not seen.” If we can see the end even before we start, we are already halfway there.

About this Plan
God's desire for His Children is for them to prosper,grow and make progress and not just exist and survive. However we notice that while few progress most barely get through. Is our God partial to bless only few? As we browse through the Bible we see several instances of God accomplishing extraordinary achievements through ordinary people. As we we study the lives of these individuals we recognise specific principles at work, these principles are the Laws of Progression which when practised will cause individuals to excel and not just exist.
