The Universal Law of Co-Creation - Rebuttal

An acquaintance with whom I am corresponding wanted me to look up "The Universal Law of Co-Creation". He has an invention that he very much wants to have become successful, and has become persuaded that if enough people get on board and "believe" it will happen, it will. He has apparently read a book by Wayne Dyer to this effect and now thinks that Romans 5 backs this up for him. Not being familiar with any of this, I went to the internet and did a little research. What I learned made me somewhat ill. Here are the basics of the this "Law":

The Shortcut to Working with Universal Law

1. We are, each of us, the thinker in our world.
2.We choose the thoughts we think, and we are the creator of our thought patterns.
3. Our dominant thought patterns manifest in our lives.
4. Therefore, we want to eliminate thought patterns that deny our good and create in their stead thought patterns that establish our good.
5. “Our good” is whatever we desire in life, so long as it does not interfere with anyone else’s good. Each of us gets to define what that good is.
6. Once we come to accept that we are truly entitled to have good happening in our lives, and the good that we define for ourselves becomes a living reality in our minds, the door to the manifestation of our good is wide open.
7. The Universe supports us fully in bringing the manifestation of our good to pass . . . guiding and directing us, attracting into our lives everything necessary for it to happen.

This is not of God. This is new-age spirituality. The Bible clearly commands us to have nothing to do with this. These are Satan’s lies. We are not “entitled” to have good happening in our lives. Nowhere in the Bible that I am aware of is this stated. God does give us many good things, but it is out of His own love and goodness and not because we have somehow managed to earn it. Are we not sinners, redeemed only through the work of Christ? It is not up to us to define what is “good” for us, or what is “best” for us. Only God is qualified to do that. Only He has the infinite wisdom and perspective to know this. The universe? It was created by God. It has no “power” of its own. Every good gift is from God (even if we don’t recognize it as such). “Have nothing to do with godless myths and old wives tales; rather, train yourself to be godly.” (1Timothy 4:7)

I read Romans 5. Paul reminds us of the wonderful work Christ has done for us, releasing us from the pain of death through His own death and resurrection. In fact, verses 3 & 4 specifically deal with our sufferings and the good that they produce for those whose hope is in Christ. But note! The good they produce is perseverance, character, and hope – not material blessings!

Wayne Dyer claims the field of “self-empowerment.” I think further research would show that he is not a Christian, but rather, one of those new-age spiritualists. In 2nd Timothy it says “For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.” (2 Tim 4:3-4)

This acquaintance is a Christian believer, as far as I know. Nothing I have learned about him prior to this has led me to believe otherwise. It is not often that the battle between good and evil is so visible and clear to me as it was as I researched and responded to his email. I am going to continue to look for additional Biblical verification that this "Law" is myth, and hope to update this post in the future with what I learn.
