The best you can imagine

Imagine for a moment that your every desire has been fulfilled, and that even the dreams you dare not to dream have become a reality. Imagine a life with no worries, no fears, no limitations, with nothing to fight against, nothing standing in your way, nothing to hold you back.
How would you live each moment of each day in such a bright and shining reality? If you truly had it all, what, precisely, would you do with it and who would you become?
As you imagine yourself living out your most treasured dreams, you begin to touch the tangible and authentic purpose behind those dreams. And you come to understand that the person you would become if you truly had it all, is already with you even now.
That purpose which longs to be fulfilled is very much a part of who you are today, no matter how distant your dreams may seem. Those dreams are very much alive in you, and a great portion of their value you already have.
Life is found not in waiting or hoping for anything to come to you. Life is best lived knowing that who you are and what you have is always more than enough.
The best you can imagine is already here, ready to be lived out. Allow it to unfold, moment after moment, day after day, as you experience the magnificent blessing that is your life.

Daily Inspiration and Affirmations to Help You Prosper

10-27-2008

Abundance is yours! You cannot be deprived of your supply. The trees do not lack for leaves, nor do flowers fail to bloom. Are you not as important as they? Look at the profuse wastefulness of nature and realize that God intends for you to be just as abundantly provided with all that makes for beauty, health, and happy, prosperous living. Blame only yourself if these fail to appear in your world.
Nothing but lack of faith can keep your good from you, for you are one with the Universal Substance of Spirit, and it manifests for you as you believe. So, believe that the whole Universe is within and around you, waiting, as-it-were, to prosper you. You have the authority to claim and accept all of God's riches. Do not put it off. Now is the time!

Today's Prospering Affirmation: Abundance is mine. I claim and accept it now!

Thank You, God!

Thank You, God!

There is a principle by which you may experience anything your heart desires. It is the principle of thanking God for everything.

A person who used the thanking principle secured a job he desired with a certain company. He visited the company, made application, and while waiting to hear from them, he quietly and audible declared: Thank You, God!

Soon the company called to say that he had the job. He got so excited, he blurted over the phone: Thank You, God!

Prosperity

The abundance of God blesses and fulfills me. I am prospered.

There is never a lack of examples of God's abundance. Earth is teeming with life in all its diverse expressions. Food and water are provided in abundant supply. The world is uniting in wonderfully mysterious, perfectly orchestrated harmony. The abundance of God blesses and fulfills beyond any desire or need.

When I place these examples in the forefront of my awareness, I connect deeply with God's abundance. Joy and happiness are the by-products of living my life in appreciation of all that is and all that is to be.

I am prospered by the inexhaustible good that nourishes my mind, body, and spirit. Living in the light of God's abundance, I am fulfilled beyond measure.

"He has not left himself without a witness in doing good--giving you rains from heaven and fruitful seasons, and filling you with food and your hearts with joy."--Acts 14:17

into action through thought and word and deed.
"There is a tide in the affairs of men,
Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune," said Shakespeare. That flood tide awaits us in the cosmic spaces, the paradise of God.
The spiritual substance from which comes all visible wealth is never depleted. It is right with you all the time and responds to your faith in it and your demands on it. It is not affected by our ignorant talk of hard times, though we are affected because our thoughts and words govern our demonstration. The unfailing resource is always ready to give. It has no choice in the matter; it must give, for that is its nature. Pour your living words of faith into the omnipresent substance, and you will be prospered though all the banks in the world close their doors. Turn the great energy of your thinking toward "plenty" ideas, and you will have plenty regardless of what men about you are saying or doing.
God is substance, but if by this statement we mean that God is matter, a thing of time or condition, then we should say that God is substanceless. God is not confined to that form of substance which we term matter. God is the intangible essence of that which man has formed into and named matter. Matter is a mental limitation of that divine substance whose vital and inherent character is manifest in all life expression.
God substance may be conceived as God energy, or Spirit light, and "God said, let there be light, and there was light." This is in harmony with the conclusions

of some of the most advanced physicists. Sir James Jeans says, in "The Mysterious Universe," "The tendency of modern physics is to resolve the whole material universe into waves, and nothing but waves. These waves are of two kinds: bottled-up waves, which we call matter, and unbottled waves, which we call radiation, or light. The process of annihilation of matter is merely unbottling imprisoned wave energy, and setting it free to travel through space."
Spirit is not matter. Spirit is not person. In order to perceive the essence of Being we must drop from our mind all thought that God is in any way circumscribed or has any of the limitations that we associate with things or persons having form or shape. "Thou shalt not make unto thee a graven image, nor any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath."
God is substance, not matter, because matter is formed, while God is the formless. God substance lies back of matter and form. It is the basis of all form yet does not enter into any form as a finality. Substance cannot be seen, touched, tasted, or smelled, yet it is more substantial than matter, for it is the only substantiality in the universe. Its nature is to "sub-stand" or "stand under" or behind matter as its support and only reality.
Job says, "The Almighty shall be thy defence, and thou shalt have plenty of silver." This refers to universal substance, for silver and gold are manifestations of an everywhere present substance and

The dynamic power of the supermind in man has been sporadically displayed by men and women of every nation. It is usually connected with some religious rite in which mystery and priestly authority prevail. The so-called "common herd" are kept in darkness with respect to the source of the superhuman power of occult adepts and holy men. But we have seen a "great light" in the discovery by physical scientists that the atom conceals electronic energies whose mathematical arrangement determines the character of all the fundamental elements of nature. This discovery has disrupted the science based on the old mechanical atomic theory, but has also given Christian metaphysicians a new understanding of the dynamics back of Spirit.
Science now postulates space rather than matter as the source of life. It says that the very air is alive with dynamic forces that await man's grasp and utilization and that these invisible, omnipresent energies possess potentialities far beyond our most exalted conception. What we have been taught about the glories of heaven pales into insignificance compared with the glories of the radiant rays--popularly referred to as the "ether." We are told by science that we have utilized very meagerly this mighty ocean of ether in producing from it the light and power of electricity. The seemingly tremendous force generated by the whirl of our dynamos is but a weak dribble from a universe of energy. The invisible waves that carry radio programs everywhere are but a mere hint of an intelligent power that penetrates

Sent to me by my great friend Steve Barton- Emeritus Chaplain

Change

I am divinely guided to divine solutions.
"Change"--the very word may seem overwhelming. I may wonder how or where change is needed or how I should respond to it. In reflection, I realize that transformation is the orderly outcome of change.

I respond to being in the flow of the river of change by the choices I make every day. Aware of divine guidance, I am centered and calm. I receive sacred direction in prayer, meditation, or reflection, and in the synchronicity of my days. In making a decision that enhances my life and the lives of people around me, I may receive one divine solution or several.

I move with ease, understanding, and guidance--with change, through change, and on to the next change!

"Let us choose what is right; let us determine among ourselves what is good."--Job 34:4

Lesson One

Spiritual Substance, the Fundamental Basis of the Universe

DIVINE MIND is the one and only reality. When we incorporate the ideas that form this Mind into our mind and persevere in those ideas, a mighty strength wells up within us. Then we have a foundation for the spiritual body, the body not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. When the spiritual body is established in consciousness, its strength and power is transmitted to the visible body and to all the things that we touch in the world about us.
Spiritual discernment reveals that we are now in the dawn of a new era, that the old methods of supply and support are fast passing away, and that new methods are waiting to be brought forth. In the coming commerce man will not be a slave to money. Humanity's daily needs will be met in ways that are not now thought practical. We shall serve for the joy of serving, and prosperity will flow to us and through us in streams of plenty. The supply and support that love and zeal will set in motion are not as yet largely used by man, but those who have tested their providing power are loud in their praise.

Prosperity

-- You can only receive to the limit of your mental container - your consciousness.

What size container are you taking to the well - a cup or a barrel?

The universe is capable of supplying in any amount, but if you only believe you are worthy of receiving a little amount, that is what you will receive -

-a little bit of wealth

-a little bit of health

-a little bit of love

If you are only willing to give and share a little amount that is all that can come back to you.

Are you saying "Thank you" in advance, knowing that your good comes in God's timing, not yours.

Finally remember :

"According to your faith

and your giving and your gratitude

shall it be done unto you."
