If memory serves me correctly, Abraham never said that action is unnecessary.
In fact, Abraham specifically said that action is very important in our physical reality. (This point was made in contrast to Abraham's non-physical reality, where he said that thoughts manifest almost instantaneously because time operates differently).
What Abraham said was that there is no need to strive so hard for anything that you, for instance, suffer because of stress, overwork etc etc. He referred to examples of people who strove very hard in their careers and ended up falling ill and having to go to hospital to "compensate" - Abraham's word.
Abraham talked of using IM to "prepave the way" - again, this was his phrase. What it suggests is that you're moving on the path towards your goal, but progress will be much smoother because you've already used IM to "prepave the way". You still gotta move your legs and walk along the path though.
