I PARTAKE OF THE DIVINE BOUNTY

 This is the goodness of God.  He bestoweth it on whom He will; God is of immense goodness!

The Koran

Today you are to identify yourself with the more abundant life, to think on those things which make for peace, to dwell on the unity which underlies everything.  As you poise yourself in the realization that you live in pure Spirit, new power will be born within you.  You will find yourself renewed by the Divine Life, led by Divine intelligence and guarded by Divine love.

MY FAITH MAKES ME WHOLE

Yea, thou shalt not find any variableness in the way of God.

The Koran

Faith is a mental attitude.  A certain man came to Jesus, and, from the inspiration of his hope and the enthusiasm of the occasion, standing in the light of one whose wick of life was ever kept trimmed and burning, feeling the warmth and color of its eternal glow, exclaimed, “I believe!”  This was a simple, sincere and enthusiastic response to the consciousness of one who had faith.  But no sooner had he exclaimed, “I believe!” out of the enthusiasm of his will to believe, than old thought patterns arose to block his faith and he said, “Help thou mine unbelief.”

Faith then is more than an objective statement.  Perfect faith cannot exist while there are subjective contradictions that deny the affirmation of the lips.  It is only when the intellect is no longer obstructed by negative reactions arising from experiences of doubt and fear that the words of the mouth can immediately bear fruit.  Say:

I believe with a deep inward calm that my word of faith is the execution of spiritual Law in my life.

I have absolute reliance upon the Law of Good.

I believe that the Law of Good will bring everything desirable into my experience.

Today I proclaim my Divine inheritance.

I am rich with the richness of God; I am strong with the power of God; I am guided by the wisdom of God.

I am held in the goodness of God, today.

GUIDANCE AND WISDOM BELONG TO ME

Thou hast begotten the Man in Thy self-born Mind, and in Thy Reflection and conception.  He is the man begotten of Mind, to whom Reflection gave form.

Fragments of a Faith Forgotten

Realizing that all action starts in, and is a result of, consciousness, prepare your mind to receive the best that life has to offer.  Become increasingly aware of the one Presence, the one Life and the one Spirit, which is God.  Try to drop all sense of lack or limitation from your thought.  The Spirit works for you through your belief.  All things are possible to this Spirit; therefore, everything is possible to you in such a degree as you can believe in and accept the operation of Spirit in your life.  There is something within you which is completely aware of its oneness with power, of its unity with Life.  Loose all thoughts of discord and fear, and permit the true pattern to come to the surface.  Say:

I allow the Divine Wholeness to flow through me in ever widening circles of activity.

Every good I have experienced is now increased.

Every joy that has come into my life is now multiplied.

There is a new influx of inspiration into my thought.

I see more clearly than ever before that my divine birthright is freedom, joy and eternal goodness.

The Divine Presence interprets Itself to me through love and friendship, through peace and harmony.

Knowing that life gives according to my faith, I lift my mind, I elevate my faith, I listen deeply to the song of my being.

I CLAIM MY DIVINE INHERITANCE

Seek for the great (mysteries) and the little shall be added unto you; seek for the heavenly and the earthy shall be added unto you.

Fragments of a Faith Forgotten

 

“Beloved, now are we the sons of God.”  Your kingdom of God is at hand.  The riches, power, glory and might of this kingdom are yours today.  You do not rob others by entering into the fullness of your kingdom of joy, your kingdom of abundance.  You recognize that all people belong to the same kingdom.  You are merely claiming for yourself what you would that the law of good should be unto all.

MY WORD ACCOMPLISHES

 So likewise thou in all thy speech Swerve never from the path of truth.

Buddhism in Translations

You are either attracting or repelling in accord with your mental attitudes.  You are either identifying yourself with lack or with abundance, with love and friendship or with indifference.  You cannot keep from attracting into your experience that which corresponds to the sum total of your states of consciousness. Continue reading “Sept. 18, 2018 – MY WORD ACCOMPLISHES”

MY BODY IS A TEMPLE OF SPIRIT

If you keep your body as it should be, and look only at the one thing, the Harmony of Heaven will come to you.

Kwang-Tze

Your body is a temple of the living Spirit.  It is spiritual substance.  Since the Spirit of God has entered into your being, your life is spiritual.  The Supreme Being, ever present, exists at the very center of your thought.  This Presence within you has the power to make all things new.  Continue reading “Sept. 17, 2018 – MY BODY IS A TEMPLE OF SPIRIT”

 I AM INSPIRED FROM ON HIGH

All is the effect of all, one universal Essence.

Brihad Aranyaka Upanishad

Jesus, in utmost simplicity, proclaimed in the ecstasy of his illumination, “I and the Father are one.”  What do you suppose would happen if you believed this, not as a mere intellectual concept, but with deep inward feeling and an expanding sense of its meaning? Continue reading “Sept. 16, 2018 –  I AM INSPIRED FROM ON HIGH”

I KNOW THAT MY REDEEMER LIVETH

Of this same Spirit, of which I have spoken many times, all things have need, for that it raises up all things, each in its own degree, and makes them live, and gives them nourishment.

Thrice-Greatest Hermes

It has been written that Christ is your redeemer, also, that Christ is in you.   You have been told that your redemption is at hand.  You have been told to awake that Christ may give you light – Christ in you, the hope of your glory.  All people are sons of God but only a few have completely recognized this.  You have decided to live as though this were true. Continue reading “Sept. 15, 2018 – I KNOW THAT MY REDEEMER LIVETH”

DIVINE POWER IS MINE TO USE

The perfect man is spirit-like. Great lakes might be boiling about him, and he would not feel their heat; the Ho and the Han might be frozen up, and he would not feel  the cold; the hurrying thunderbolts might split the mountains,  and the wind shake the ocean, without being able to make him afraid.

Kwang-Tze

Everything in nature is an individualization of one coordinating Life, one law of being and one Presence.  But our minds have become so filled with that which contradicts this that even the Truth has to await our recognition.  You must learn to become consciously aware of the Divine Presence and the Divine Power, the wholeness of Truth, of Love, of Reason and of a sound mind to dwell on peace and joy. Continue reading “Sept. 14, 2018 – DIVINE POWER IS MINE TO USE”

THE SPIRIT GOES BEFORE ME

But the path of the just is as the light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.

Proverbs 4:18

Good is at the root of everything, regardless of its seeming absence.  But this good must be recognized.  Since there is but one Spirit and this Spirit is in you and in everything, then everywhere you go you will meet this Spirit.  You meet this Spirit in people, in places and in things.  The one Spirit, which manifests Itself in and through all, including yourself, automatically adjusts parts to the whole.  Continue reading “Sept. 13, 2018 – THE SPIRIT GOES BEFORE ME”
