"WHEN I FIND MYSELF IN A FINANCIAL WILDERNESS, IT IS BECAUSE I AM PREPARING FOR A GREATER ABUNDANCE THAN I HAVE EVER KNOWN BEFORE. MY WILDERNESS EXPERIENCE IS MY DIVINE INITIATION INTO THE HIGHER LEVELS OF SUPPLY. I AM BEING FREED FROM ALL FEAR OF LACK. AS I LOOK TO GOD FOR GUIDANCE AND SUPPLY, I AM BECOMING FINANCIALLY INDEPENDENT ON A DAILY BASIS.

"I CAN GATHER MY MANNA BY FIRST USING SOMETHING CLOSE AT HAND TO MEET MY NEED. BE IT EVER SO HUMBLE, WHEN I USE WHAT IS CLOSE AT HAND, MY GOOD MULTIPLIES. I CAN BEGIN TO GATHER MY MANNA BY DOING SOMETHING FEARLESS. THE ACT OF BLESSING WHAT IS ON HAND INCREASES IT MIGHTILY. SOMETHING MYSTERIOUS HAPPENS WHEN I BLESS THE SUBSTANCE AT HAND. INSTEAD OF ENVYING ANOTHER'S PROSPERITY, I OPEN THE WAY FOR INCREASED SUPPLY TO COME TO ME.

"SINCE WORDS ARE CREATIVE, I CAN GATHER MY MANNA THROUGH SPEAKING FORTH DEFINITE, RICH WORDS OF SUPPLY, EVEN IN THE FACE OF LACK. MY MANNA IS ALWAYS SOMETHING CLOSE AT HAND, AND I ALWAYS HAVE IN MY IMMEDIATE MIDST WHATEVER IS NEEDED TO BEGIN GATHERING MY MANNA. AS I BLESS THE MANNA CLOSE AT HAND AND FEARLESSLY USE IT, IT MULTIPLIES. LORD, I DO GIVE THANKS FOR THE ABUNDANCE THAT IS MINE NOW!"

THE THIRD KIND OF GIVING

noreply@blogger.com (inglisarnold) — Sat, 08 Sep 2007 11:21:00 +0000

Third. After giving to God and to yourself, then give something to someone else. After you give something to someone else, bless whatever it is that you give. Bless the person or persons to whom you gave it. Then release both the gift and the recipient. Any man, woman, or child can transform his life by transforming what he gives out -- what he gives to God, what he gives to himself, and what he gives out to others.
When you aren't sure what to give to others, that is the time to declare, "I GIVE UNDER DIVINE DIRECTION." Then watch the hunches and ideas that come. You'll be shown what to give, where, and to whom.
Many of the blessings you want most are within your reach! By your acts of giving, you open the way to attract the blessings you desire. These blessings have probably been waiting to reach you, but they were blocked by your own lack of giving. There was no free channel through which they could pass.
By giving under divine direction, you open a channel through which these blessings are freed to arrive. An early prosperity teacher of mine often said, "First give to God. Then give to mankind as God directs."

THE SECOND KIND OF GIVING

noreply@blogger.com (inglisarnold) — Sat, 08 Sep 2007 11:15:00 +0000

Second. Give to yourself. Yes, open your mind to receive by giving to yourself, because all progress begins with self-improvement. It is just as possible to overgive to others as it is to undergive to yourself. Overgiving to others and undergiving to yourself unbalances the law and keeps your good from coming through. You must first give your allention to the improvement and development of yourself before you can possibly help others.
You cannot possibly give to others unless you first have something to give. You must first have strength, wisdom, and substance before you can share these qualities with others. There are those misguided people who think it is selfish to emphasize self-improvement first. But it is only after self-improvement that you are capable of helping others.
When you do just the opposite, when you overgive to others and undergive to yourself, you feel depleted and you are. This causes within you a sense of lack which is degrading and limiting. Because of this, overgiving to others is self-defeating. It accomplishes nothing constructive.
Psychologists talk about the sin of parents who overgive to their children. This suppresses their children's talents and it overworks the parents. Such overgiving harms everyone concerned. In the recent "age of permissiveness,'' we have witnessed the damaging results of overgiving parents in their confused, bewildered children.
Conversely my own father reluctantly gave as little as possible to his children. The philosophy of under-giving had been a part of his upbringing. It caused us many hardships, and it took me years to overcome the poverty- consciousness that resulted. So let us seek to strike a happy balance.
The philosophers of old advised, "To thine own self be true.'' Give something to yourself right away. It might be a new book you wish to read, an item of clothing or jewelry, or something for your home or office. It might be the treat of going out to dinner, to the theater, to a party, or taking a vacation. It might be the deliberate setting aside of some daily time for prayer, meditation and inspirational study. It might be something; big or small, tangible or intangible.

THE FIRST KIND OF GIVING

Giving is the first step in receiving. When you want to receive, give! However, there are three kinds of giving. All three are equally necessary to your long term growth and success.
First. Give to God, Put Him first financially. Why? As explained in Buddhism and elsewhere, this is the first quality to be developed in your character on the road to Enlightenment. Many conscientious people study self-help methods galore, yet do not receive the benefits from them that they should because they ignore this first step.
Various schemes have been suggested for getting rich quick. Most of them fail because they are based on ''getting'' -- not ''giving.'' They have no spiritual basis. The reason many people fail to receive their good in life is because they do not practice giving or returning impersonally to the universe on a systematic basis a portion of all that the universe shares with them.
Two businessmen in Chicago once told me they had held the local franchise on one of the most famous success courses in America, one that cost thousands of dollars to take. Though they prospered for a time, they eventually went broke. They finally realized why: Their course had only emphasized "getting"-- not "giving." Their course had not taught the spiritual side of prosperity. It had not taught its students to tithe their way to prosperity by returning to the universe a tenth of all they received. It was only after these two businessmen found their way into one of the local New Thought churches and began to put God first financially, that their financial affairs stabilized and they began permanently prosper.
When any person withholds that which belongs to the universe, his life is thrown oot of balance, and he experiences lack in some form. It may be lack of supply, lack of health, lack of love, lack of spiritual understanding, or lack of directlon in his life. It is only as we let go of our littleness that we can expand into the larger life.
So it is not enough to say that you believe God is the Source of your supply (as previously suggested). You must prove that you believe God is the Source of your supply by first sharing with Him. This keeps you in touch with a universal source of abundance.
The billionaire Solomon pointed out what the wise use this ancient success method could mean to you when he advised: "Honor the Lord with thy substance, and with the first fruits of all thine increase. So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy vats shall overflow with new wine.' (Proverbs 3:9, 10)*

HOW TO IDENTIFY WITH YOUR SOURCE

noreply@blogger.com (inglisarnold) — Sat, 08 Sep 2007 10:56:00 +0000

Buy at AllPosters.com

Open your mind to receive by telling God what you want instead of constantly telling people.
Telling people what you want can dissipate your good because God is the source of your supply -- not people. Although people, ideas, and opportunities are all channels of your supply, God is the source because He creates those ideas and opportunities. Through the law of mind action, He helps attract the appropriate people and circumstances to you to help expedite those ideas and opportunities through which your good can come to pass.
A statement you will want to use often to help you identify with the source of your good is this:
"I DO NOT DEPEND ON PERSONS OR CONDITIONS FOR MY GOOD. GOD IS THE SOURCE OF MY SUPPLY AND GOD PROVIDES HIS OWN AMAZING CHANNELS OF GOOD TO ME NOW."

My loved ones and I are serene and secure in mind and body.
Whenever I feel a concern rising about a situation in my life or in the lives of the people I love, I shift my focus to the love of God active in all our lives. God’s love is greater than any circumstance and always available to us.
There may be uncertainty in life at times, but there is never any uncertainty in God’s love. Divine love is an energy that radiates from within my loved ones and me. There is nothing that can separate any one of us from God’s loving, caring presence.
I give thanks that divine love is graciously guiding me and my loved ones in ways of peace and safety. This sacred love inspires us to know when and how to help one another. In God’s love, we are serene and secure in mind and body.
“Those who love me, I will deliver; I will protect those who know my name.”—Psalm 91:14

Five-Step Prayer Process

noreply@blogger.com (inglisarnold) — Mon, 03 Sep 2007 11:22:00 +0000

Five-Step Prayer Process

Prayer is connecting with God. In prayer, you create a sacred space in which you commune with God. Use the following Five-Step Prayer Process to deepen your connection with God, to heighten your awareness of God within you. Experience the power of prayer.

Relax
Set aside time each day for prayer. Begin your quiet time by relaxing your body and opening your mind to an awareness of God. Breathe deeply, knowing that you are in the presence of God and the presence of God is within you. Let go of your concerns and know that all is well.

Concentrate
As you close your eyes and release any thought of the world around you, begin to think about God … about God’s presence in your life. Focus your mind on a single thought or idea or scripture that resonates with you. Repeat this idea over and over, either silently or aloud until it becomes your only thought.

Meditate
Allow this focused state of mind to move you into a deeper awareness of God. “Be still … and know that I am God.” Be still as you connect with this divine presence within you.

Realize
From the depth of your being, know that you are one with God. This knowing, this realization as you experience God’s holy presence is “silent soul communion.” In this receptive state of mind and heart, listen for the inspiration of God, the answers to your prayers.

Give Thanks
Let gratitude be your heart’s joyous response to this experience of communion with God and with God's infinite goodness. Give thanks for blessings to come, ready to receive your good.

OPEN YOUR MIND TO RECEIVE

noreply@blogger.com (inglisarnold) — Sat, 01 Sep 2007 10:14:00 +0000

Why should you deliberately open your mind to receive? Because most of us have endured a pinched, narrow existence for no good reason. We have blocked our good from getting through to us in the process. There's nothing divine about a pinched existence. There's nothing divine about a narrow, limited way of life. It proves nothing but the foolishness and ignorance of man who actually lives in a universe of lavish abundance. Anyone who leads a pinched, narrow existence is not expressing his true nature. He is only cheating himself.
If this has happened to you, there is something you can do about it!
The word "receive" means "to accept." Psychologists tell us that we can have anything we can mentally accept, but that we must mentally accept it first. A great part of the act of receiving is to accept the good you want mentally rather than fighting it mentally.
A well-meaning young businessman said to me at a book-autographing party:
"Are all of those success stories in your books factual? Aren't some of them fabricated?"
"Why do you ask?" was my reply.
"Because they sound too good to be true."
"Just how long have you been reading about the power of prosperous thinking?" I inquired.
"Oh, only about a month," he said.
That explained his disbelief. He was still so conditioned to the limited beliefs of the world that he had not yet learned that "nothing is too good to be true."
I explained that for every success story that gets into my books, there are scores of others that do not. The results of` prosperous thinking are so numerous I cannot possibly relate them all. (And those reported to me are only a fraction of the happy experiences people have had who used the ideas suggested.)
This young man was still trying to open his mind to receive. He was trying to mentallv accept the belief that unlimited good is his heritage. To help him do so, I suggested he speak forth this well-known statement for at leastfive minutes a day:
"NOTHING IS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE. NOTHING IS TOO WONDERFUL TO HAPPEN. NOTHING IS TOO GOOD TO LAST."

A Life Of Infinite Satisfaction

noreply@blogger.com (inglisarnold) — Sat, 01 Sep 2007 09:49:00 +0000

A powerful method for invoking the Christ consciousness (and all its power) is to meditate upon the words of Jesus from the Four Gospels. When you have a healing need, study Jesus' hearings and you will tune in on that same healing consciousness. When you have a prosperity need, study his miracles of abundance, and you will become attuned to that same bounty. You can use this prayer method for others with good results, too.
Why? Because words of truth have life in them. The words of Jesus Christ have moved men for nearly two thousand years to dare to demonstrate as have no other words ever uttered on this planet!
He who meditates upon Jesus' words - turning them over and over in his mind, using them as his own, studying the very essence and spirit of them will receive new thoughts, new revelations and inspirations each day of untold value. This method leads to a life of infinite satisfaction. Eat and drink the words of Jesus!
I know a lady who was once healed of a chronic, nagging ill by writing out one of the healing promises of Jesus and wearing it next to the skin over the diseased area of the body. Sleeping with one of Jesus' promises under one's pillow has been known to heal too. There is fantastic power and vitality in the words and promises of Jesus now, as in His time.

Whatever your need in life may be, love is the answer.

noreply@blogger.com (inglisarnold) — Fri, 31 Aug 2007 09:02:00 +0000

Whatever your need in life may be, love is the answer. You do not have to look outside yourself for love. Begin releasing it from within your own thoughts and feelings, and you will attract to you whatever people, situations, and conditions are for your highest good. Truly, "You walk in the charmed circle of God's love, and you are divinely irresistible to your highest good now." This is the prospering power of love.

In all phases of life, love is a success power. Many persons who are seeking a balanced life have found this prayer helpful: "Divine love expressing through me, now draws to me all that is needed to make me happy and my life complete."

WHY PRAYER HAS MIRACLE POWER

noreply@blogger.com (inglisarnold) — Fri, 31 Aug 2007 08:36:00 +0000

Scientists tell us there are no miracles—only the working of higher laws not commonly understood. Actually there seems to be one set of natural laws for the physical world and another set for the invisible world of mind and spirit. The laws of mind and spirit are so much stronger that they can be used to accentuate, neutralize, or even reverse the laws of the physical world. Prayer is the one power in the world that seems to set off the working of those higher laws.Prayer can get the job done—when nothing else has.
Why is prayer so powerful? Why can prayer accentuate, neutralize or even reverse the laws of the physical world?
Because through prayer, you tap the operation of higher laws of supreme mind and spirit. Through prayer you release a spiritual force which shatters fixed states of mind that have caused so much havoc in your world. Your imprisoned thoughts and pent-up negative emotions go free and dissolve, as a higher energy floods your being and your world.
Indeed, the energy and power released in prayer help you to "crash through" the negative thought strata that had previously bound you to all kinds of problems. Thereafter, the impossible becomes possible. Your ships come in. So-called miracles occur. It is then that you realize that prayer did overcome the usual "laws of nature" and did what they said couldn't be done!
If prayer were commonly understood and practiced by mankind universally, the dreaded things of this world—crime, disease, poverty and war—could become ancient history. You can begin helping to eradicate these universal ills, as well as a score of personal ones, as you begin deliberately developing your prayer powers.

Prayer is the only action you can take that truly makes things different—from the inside out.

noreply@blogger.com (inglisarnold) — Fri, 31 Aug 2007 07:58:00 +0000

A young man with a grave problem was asked by his minister, "Have you prayed about it?" He answered, "Prayed? This is no time to pray. It's time to do something!"
To pray is to do something—the most important "some-thing" you can first do about any problem.
Why?
Because prayer is where the true action is! Prayer is the only action you can take that truly makes things different—from the inside out.
This is true because physical action releases the weakest form of energy, whereas mental and spiritual action releases the highest form of energy.
Prayer deals primarily with the states of mind and laws of mental activity that rule your world. Prayer changes your mentality; prayer first changes your thinking as it calms, uplifts and renews you. This is one of the purposes of prayer—to change your thinking, which in turn changes your world.
But prayer goes further. There is another reason for all the shouting about the "power of prayer."
Prayer releases the highest form of energy in the universe, as it links you with a God energy, which is your source. When this happens, prayer "turns you on!"
How?
When you pray, you stir into action an atomic force. You release a potent spiritual vibration that can be released in no other way. Through prayer you unleash and loose a God energy within and around you that gets busy working for you and through you, producing right attitudes, reactions and results. It is your prayers that recognize and release that God power.
You may not feel the force of prayer because it operates at a higher vibration than that ordinarily felt by man. In fact, prayer releases an energy that is usually too fine to be recorded physically.
Nevertheless, as you pray you expand mentally and spiritually so as to become big enough in consciousness to receive a larger flow of the divine energy generated through prayer. Prayer is not only asking and communing. Prayer is also receiving.
A skeptic once insisted that he did not believe in the power of prayer. When asked if he had ever prayed, he replied that he had once. His explanation was that on that occasion he was lost in a deep forest and could not find his way out. He had been there several days and was beginning to feel the pangs of starvation. He said that in his "weakness" he prayed.
"Then God did answer your prayer, or you would not be here," exclaimed his acquaintance.
"No," replied the skeptic, "God did not answer my prayer. A couple of hunters came along soon afterward and showed me the way out."
This man did not understand that his prayer had been answered, and that the hunters were the human agency through which God's work had been done. Nevertheless, through the act of prayer, he had for a moment recognized the God power within and around him, and had thereby contacted and released it to produce results for him. He had not only asked; he had also received.

The Way to Opulence

noreply@blogger.com (inglisarnold) — Wed, 29 Aug 2007 16:52:00 +0000

There are no shortcuts in developing a prosperity consciousness of opulence. There are those who say "I do not tithe to those who inspire me but I do show my appreciation with gifts." You would not take your doctor or lawyer a gift instead of paying him (or her) properly for his (or her) professional services. A spiritual consciousness is the result of a lifetime (or perhaps many lifetimes) of development. It's help is priceless to the one seeking it. Just appreciation opens the way for the expansion of your own consciousness. of opulence.
There are people everywhere who are spiritually minded only up to their hip pockets. They give the Lord practically everything: Advice, excuses, good intentions, a little time and even a little energy - everything except the coin of the realm.
Not so those who are developing a true opulence consciousness. It includes abundant generosity. Sharing is always the beginning of opulent increase
Under the Mosaic law the priests of the Old Testament were millionaires. The priestly trine of Levi did not receive any of the Promised Land later during the reign of Joshua. Instead they received all of the tithes from the Promised Land. (see Joshua 18:7; Numbers 18:21; and Numbers:18:26.)
There is a good reason for prospering inspirational organizations and those in spiritual work:
As in the time of Moses, even now the world wants and needs spiritual organizations and workers who can tell you how to be prosperous, and who through their own lives, are demonstrating that they know the prosperity laws. The world loves, respects and listens to those in spiritual work who have proved the laws of opulence. Such workers have a high-powered consciousness that draws and inspires a loyal following. By giving to those in such a high-powered consciousness, you tune in on that consciousness and open the way to receive vast blessings of expanded good in your own life.
Declare often: "There are no short cuts to the opulence that is mine by Divine Right. Sharing is always the beginning of financial increase. I share at the point or points where I am receiving spiritual help and inspiration. By sharing with those individuals or organizations that are in such high-power consciousness, I tune in on that consciousness of abundance. This opens the way to receive vast blessings of expanded good in my own life. Yes, I share my way to opulence now!"

Blessing has Multiplying Power

noreply@blogger.com (inglisarnold) — Tue, 28 Aug 2007 21:29:00 +0000

The act of blessing what is on hand can increase it mightily.
A business woman proved this. She was between jobs. Her grocery supplies were so low that the only food she had in the house was a small amount of hamburger, some coffee, and a half carton of cream.
This hungry woman started blessing her pocketbook and financial affairs, but nothing happened. She decided to bless the small amount of food that was left, remembering how Jesus had multiplied the loaves and fishes by taking them in his hands and blessing them. (Matthew 14:19)
She anticipated that, as she blessed the food at hand, more food or the money to purchase more food would come to her somehow. This did not happen, but the power of blessing worked anyway.
After the act of blessing the hamburger, cream and coffee, she used a portion of them for her evening fare. The next day, when she again inspected the food, she realized that there appeared to be just as much there as had been before using a portion of it the previous evening!
That food was like the manna in the wilderness that had been gathered by the Hebrews on the sixth day and had lasted through the seventh day, when no more appeared. As she continued to bless what was at hand, it met her needs until more money arrived. Through the continued act of blessing, she secured a job and the crisis passed.
Remind yourself often: "The act of blessing has multiplying power. As I bless what is on hand, this opens the way for it to increase mightily. So I bless and increase my health, wealth, and happiness now!"

How I went from Hungry and Poor to Wealthy and Happy!

noreply@blogger.com (inglisarnold) — Fri, 24 Aug 2007 21:03:00 +0000

Ok, Ready to experience More Prosperity? If You aren't recieving enough (Money,Food,Job,Home,Love,Wealth,Health,Sucess) there IS something You can do about it! Start Right Now! Read the words in the paragraph below and watch Your Life Change Dramatically. The instructions may seem simple and you may feel Hopeless, but Follow them to the letter. This works and it works Quickly. You must call one of the Laws of the Universe into action:

The Law of Giving and Recieving.

If You aren't recieving enough, you aren't giving enough.

In order to recieve, You must first give to activate the Law of Prosperity.

Once, when I needed more food and money to pay basic bills, I stumbled upon this Law. At first it seemed I had nothing to give (I didn't even have enough for myself) But the Law teaches that in order to have my needs met I must find a way to give unselfishly, no strings attached.

To change Your outer circumstances, you must first change your mind.

The affirmation I used:

" I give thanks That My Loving Heavenly Father Created a Rich StoreHouse of all that I need, when He created me! I now claim and recieve all the Blessings that my Heavenly Father has created for me, in God's own wonderful way for me!"

I had an elderly neighbor who was lonely and isolated and,thinking of her, I knew I had something to give!

I told myself : "I now call the Law of Giving and Recieving into action! As I Give I know that Heaven and Earth will rush to fill my every need! Thank You Father for the chance to give."

I walked to her house, stopping along the way to pick her some beautiful wild flowers. I sat with her, GIVING her my full attention, hugged her, GIVING her my real affection, I helped with chores,GIVING the only thing I had to GIVE, myself.

I went home and wrote on some 3X5's "God's Abundance Manifests itself In this House NOW!". Then I taped the cards (DO IT) inside my empty kitchen cupboards and one on the Bathroom Mirror. Something in me KNEW that I had indeed stirred up the law of Prosperity. I Knew that something was going to happen (for every action there is a reaction) and when doubt crept into my mind-I reminded Myself that "I am a child of the Almighty God, The Most Powerful Being in the Known Universe! There is no problem, no lack, no need that God can't handle! I am the child of a loving God! I am meant to prosper!"

My Prosperity began there and then! It came in seemingly "Normal" ways--but I knew better- I Knew it was the Law of Prosperity in action!

First, I went out to the mailbox, dreading another bill, but instead I RECIEVED a refund from an Insurance Policy I couldn't remember. (I heard others report "checks in the Mail" too.) Suddenly many other channels opened up to me and I recieved blessing after blessing in "Normal" ways until I was prosperous enough to buy my own house, share with others, put my children in private school, own my own business and all because I continued to use the Law of Prosperity!

Now it's time for you to GIVE and RECIEVE in full measure the abundance that our Loving Father has been saving just for You!

Use the Affirmations that I used or write Your own.

This is the prosperity secret of the ages:

noreply@blogger.com (inglisarnold) — Thu, 23 Aug 2007 01:43:00 +0000

Prosperity Has a Spiritual Basis
You can open your mind to prosperity by following Moses' advice to the Hebrews centuries ago:

"You shall remember the Lord your God, for it is he who gives you power to get wealth."

This is the prosperity secret of the ages:
God is the source of your supply. As long as you relate to the Source, you will be prosperous. It is when you turn from God as the Source and depend upon people and conditions for your prosperity that you have financial problems. People and conditions are channels of your supply, to be sure, but God is the Source. Knowing this, you do not panic if the channel changes, but know to look to God as the Source for guidance and supply:

"I do not depend upon persons or conditions for my prosperity. God is the source of my prosperity and provides His own channels of supply for me now."

Open Your Mind To Prosperity:

"I say you ought to be rich. You have no right to be poor. To live and not be rich is a misfortune, and it is doubly a misfortune because you could have been rich just as well as being poor." Dr. Russell Conwell

"The Father's desire for us is unlimited good, not merely the means of a meager existence. We cannot be very happy if we are poor, and nobody needs to be poor. It is a sin to be poor." Charles Filmore

People in my church asked me to teach a class that would point out the mental and spiritual laws of prosperity. I soon discovered something significant. Even though the people in that class desperately needed to be prospered, most of them had the old, erroneous idea that it was sinful to be prosperous. They felt guilty about even coming to the prosperity class.Since that time I have discovered that there is nothing unusual in this attitude.
Most people with financial problems have a psychological block about prosperity.
They have been taught in the past that poverty is a Christian virtue, and that to be prosperous is somehow wicked. They have been taught that anyone who is prosperous is probably a crook and therefore subject to suspicion. In any event, he is a "sinner."How in the world can poverty be a Christian virtue, when poverty causes most of the world's problems?" Katherine Ponder

You can open your mind to prosperity when you realize that through your study and application of the mental and spiritual laws of prosperity, you are not trying to make God give you anything. As the Bible promises, "All things are yours."

In the beginning, God created a lavish universe, and then created spiritual man and placed him in this world of abundance, giving him dominion over it. You are only trying to open your mind to receive your heritage of abundance bequeathed you from the beginning.

You can begin opening your mind to this abundance by declaring often,
"I am the rich child of a loving Father, so I dare to prosper!"

Many years ago, when it seemed that people and conditions controlled my good, I found this passage in Lessons in Truth helpful:

"No person or thing in the universe, no chain of circumstances, can by any possibility interpose itself between you and all joy—all good.

You may think that something stands between you and your heart's desire, and so live with that desire unfulfilled, but it is not true. . . . Deny it, and you will find yourself free. . . . Then you will see the good flowing (to) you, and you will see clearly that nothing can stand between you and your own."

The statements I used at that time to help free me from the belief in personality's power to withhold my good, and to help me relate to My Creator as the Source of my supply, were these:

"I clearly see that nothing or no one can stand between me and my own!"

"I dissolve in my own mind and in the minds of all others any idea that my own can be withheld from me. That which is for my highest good now comes to me, and in my clear perception of truth I welcome it!"

"Nothing can oppose my good. No one can oppose my good. I now accomplish great things with ease."

"Refusing to criticize another's prosperity, I turn to My Creator, ask His direction, and I am prospered."

"Love envieth not. The prospering truth now sets me free."

Abundance and Prosperity

noreply@blogger.com (inglisarnold) — Wed, 25 Jul 2007 22:43:00 +0000

Create Abundance
Your Thoughts Create Your Life Experiences! We all create our own journey using our thoughts. We all use the same stuff to create our life experiences. That stuff is Universal or Source Energy. Our thoughts draw and shape that Energy from Source into a myriad of forms that we observe each day. We all draw from the one and the same source of energy. We all share in universal abundance.

In the Universal Thought System, the primary law governing the creation of abundance is 'Giving and Receiving are one. To give is to receive. To receive is to give.' This follows from a oneness that is at the core of this thought system. Counter to our thinking in the world of separation, when you give you do not lose what you give, rather, you receive more of what you give.

Money Help - Top Ten Ways To Attract Money

Money Help - Top Ten Ways To Attract Money

1. Know What You Want
Don't just think you want something. Know it! Most of us know exactly what we don't want in our lives. We have to become just as clear about what it is we do want. Knowing that you want to make $10,000 a month or more is much clearer than just knowing you want more money.

2. Listen to Your Gut
Pay attention to what your gut or intuition is telling you and act on it. Often we ignore the many signals our inner selves give us or say to ourselves, "That's crazy, I can't do that." Your intuition will lead you where you need to go in order to get the money help you need...if you let it.

3. Use Positive Money Affirmations
Write a short positive affirmation that states your money goal. For example: "$10,000 easily flows into my life each month." Click here to find out how to use affirmations effectively and here for examples of prosperity affirmations.
