Anyone who has the slightest doubt about the tremendous power of INTENSELY
BELIEVING should study this amazing story of Joan of Arc. Joan was a peasant shepherdess
tending a small Hock of sheep. There was nothing unusual about her. She was just
a plain little girl of twelve'.
Suddenly, she was filled with an INTENSE BELIEF! She had a vision that
she was appointed by God to lead the armies of France to victory over England
in the Hundred Years' War which had been going on for seventy- five years
before she was born! A poor, little shepherd gifl to lead the armies of France!
Her BELIEF became an ob- session-' she INTENSELY BELIEVED!
If we could believe in our ability to SUCCEED as INTENSELY as Joan of
Arc BELIEVED........-we would succeed at ANYTHING we attempted! Just as Joan of
120 Arc did! Nothing could stop us! Just as nothing could stop Joan of Arc-not even
the thirty-foot walls of the supposedly unconquerable bastion of Orleans.
She had her first intensive vision of victory when she was twelve. Then
for the next five years she believed-INTENSELY BELIEVED-that she heard voices of
Saints assuring her of her divine appointment with destiny.
When she was seventeen Joan went before the Dauphin Prince Charles and
so INTENSE was her BE- LIEF in her divinely-appointed mission to save France that
he outfitted her with a suit of shining armor and raised an army to follow her
into battle!
So with her sword Hashing and her personal banner Hying she led the
attack and conquered heavily fortified Orleans. A seventeen-year-old shepherd girl
who INTENSELY BELIEVED she could do it!
And here is the place where we must emphasize that only INTENSE BELIEF
in SUCCESS brings SUCCESS ... and just as surely, BELIEF in TRAGEDY brings
TRAGEDY!
Joan of Arc, the conqueror, began to BELIEVE that she would be captured,
betrayed and executed. And that is exactly what happened! She was burned at
the stake as a heretic, sinner, idolator-this saintly young girl who had saved
her country!
But betrayal, torture and death could not destroy the eternal glory
of her years of divine belief. The Church made Joan of Arc a Saint.
Imagine a plain, little, peasant girl of twelve, tending a Hock of
sheep-INTENSELY BELIEVING that 121 she could lead the army of France to victory
in a war France had failed to win in seventy-five years before she was born!
Yet, at the age of only seventeen, because Joan Of Arc INTENSELY BELIEVED
that she could-she SUCCEEDED in doing exactly that!
Before YOU decide that your lack of some- thing is keeping you from
succeeding-your lack of education, lack of training, lack of money, lack of
influence, or whatever “lack" you are using as an alibi-remember that Joan
of Arc was a poor, unknown, uneducated, peasant girl of seventeen, who
obviously lacked any military training-yet, because she was obsessed by an INTENSE
BE- LIEF, she led the previously unsuccessful army of France to victory!
Her only qualification was INTENSE BE- LIEF that she could succeed!
Think what YOU can achieve if your BELIEF that YOU CAN SUCCEED is so
intense that getting WHATEVER you want becomes such an obsession that you activate
your BELIEF with SUCCESS TRAINING! In a later chapter, this blog will teach YOU
how to develop that kind of INTENSE BELIEF!
