Each and every one of us have that Something within us that is
of greater strength and fortitude and we can all realize the
good results of our prayers and affirmations. As we make the
decision to not judge by appearances we must also take into our
mind that time is not our enemy. We impress our mind with this
by affirming that delay is not defeat. In truth, delay is the
ripening of the idea allowing us to expand and enlarge that
which we desire to include as much good as we can possibly
imagine for ourselves. This is the mindset that dares to
prosper and the truth is this is the attitude of mind that we
must realize in order to receive all the abundance this is ours
to enjoy.
We each can begin to re-affirm the prosperous life that
is ours to experience. As the Master Mind Jesus stated, "it is
the Father's (Spirit's) good pleasure to give to you" and it can
be our good pleasure to receive.
"Many,
Lord, are asking, “Who will bring us prosperity?” Let the light
of your face shine on us. Fill my heart with joy when their
grain and new wine abound. In peace I will lie down and
sleep, for you alone, Lord, make me dwell in safety."
- Psalm 4:6-8
"My
lips will shout for joy when I sing praise to you— I whom you
have delivered."
- Psalm 71:23
"For
you make me glad by your deeds, Lord; I sing for joy at what
your hands have done. How great are your works, Lord, how
profound your thoughts!"
- Psalm 92:4-5
In these affirmations taken from the ancient wisdom
we can easily see the pattern of thought that the Psalmist was
using in order to demonstrate the good that was desired. Long
before the Master Mind Jesus gave us the Principle that
"it is done unto you as you believe"
the ancients were in fact using the Law of Mind which is a Law
of Correspondence. In this beginning of the realization that
G-d responds to us by corresponding to that which we declare to
be so, these affirmations offer us a way in which we can renew
and refresh our mind.
"For
you make me glad by your deeds, Lord"
is no different than the words the Master Mind Jesus used;
"My Father worketh hitherto, and I work"
... he is declaring just as the Psalmist did that G-d is the
creator, we the receiver. So we must learn to be receptive to
and expectant of our good, especially those things that we pray
for.
To realize that we are within G-d and that G-d is a living
presence within us, guarantees that we will have an experience
that we can surely identify as a direct result of this knowing.
This realization will come as a sense of joy that energizes our
mind, our heart and our soul ... not in the joy that the world
knows, but that feeling of joy that fills us with faith and
trust in our ability to accept more and more of that which gives
us evidence of G-d's presence within us and our eternal presence
within G-d. When the Master Mind Jesus had this realization he
declared it as the truth for all of us when he said,
"The Father (Spirit, Intelligence, Power) and I (that infinite
"I" that includes every one of us) are one!"...
ONE! Not two. Not separate. ONE! And in this spirit of joy
we shall be prospered, healed and blessed into the wholeness of
health, happiness, prosperity, success and more. This is the
realization and manifestation of that Higher Love that Is
embracing each and every one of us!
Keep the Faith!
