Perfect Health and Peace of Mind

Claudia Lucas, RScP


ClaudiaLucas-150x150.jpg?width=150There is only One Life, it is a life of replenishment, rejuvenation. It is eternal, and knows only health, wholeness and well being. It is perfect circulation healthy blood cells, it is the Creator of all and therefore perfect health in all. It is peace of mind, and well-being.

I am one with and connected to this channel, this vessel of wellness, health, vitality and boundless energy. As I am one with it so it is for everyone, and all life. We are enfolded in the wellness, health and vitality and Divine perfection of Spirit, this well spring of life, energy vitality wholeness and health.

I affirm that God’s intelligence, perfection and wholeness and health are in each and every cell of our beings. Vitality and strength, and perfect health for each and everyone are already guaranteed from the cellular to systemic level because each and every cell in our body knows exactly what to do to heal anything not appearing to be perfection, goodness and vitality. Since we are filled with and connected to this loving Spirit that only pure perfection, health and well-being, in this very moment, any appearance or symptom not aligned with the perfection, vitality and wholeness of Spirit vanishes into thin air, never to return.

In the loving arms of Spirit, we are filled with and surrounded by the peace, joy and love in knowing all is well.

I give thanks to the action of the Law knowing that perfect health, and peace of mind is in Divine Order in this very moment and always.

And I release it all knowing it is done!

False Evidence Appearing Real

False Evidence Appearing Real

Ernest Holmes, Our Founder

ernest_holmes-144x150.jpg?width=144
"Fear not, little flock, it is you Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.” (Luke 12:32)

Fear is the great enemy of man. But fear is a mental attitude and as such can be converted into something else. Fear is the reverse mental attitude to faith, and is a result of the lack of faith. Fear brings limitation and lack in its wake and destroys the happiness and possibility of a greater degree of livingness to those who suffer from it.

Fear blocks the more complete givingness of the Spirit to Its highest form of manifestation on this planet, which is mankind. Fear arises from that mental attitude which limits the possibility and the willingness of Spirit to give us the good we wo greatly desire. The is nothing wrong in the desire for self-expression. God is more completely expressed through the man who lives largely than through the one who lives meagerly.

Fear is a belief in limitation, a denial that the Divine is the Center and the Source of all good. We must so all in our power to overcome it. “Perfect love casts out fear;” that is, confidence overcome the depression of doubt. Mental depression can produce physical and financial depression. The psychology of economic cycles proves this. In the midst of plenty humanity live in want, because of fear. To overcome fear is the greatest adventure of the mind of man. 

We should contact a larger field of faith. This is done by understanding that God is the giver and the sustainer of human life and expression. God is all there is. He if Substance and Supply. We must learn to accept this. If it is God’s pleasure to give us the Kingdom then it should be our privilege to accept the gift.

Ernest Holmes “Science of Mind” page 404

Complete Confidence 

My confidence in the All Good is complete.

My faith in the Power of Spirit is supreme.

I have no doubts nor uncertainties.

I know that Good is at hand, and

I realize that no fear can hinder

That Good from making Its appearance in my life and affairs.

I know that my Life and Good are complete.

Evil cannot touch nor hinder my work.

I rest in security, for

THE ONE MIND IS MY COMPLETE REFUGE AND STRENGTH.

I am serene and confident.

Peace is the Power at the Heart of God

Peace is the Power at the Heart of God

Ernest Holmes, Our Founder


ernest_holmes-144x150.jpg?width=144My Peace is found at the heart of God. The heart of God, for me, is found at the very center of my being. It does not matter how closely the confusion of the outer world presses against me, I am not even disturbed by the confusion in my immediate environment. I know that the only way to counteract confusion is to bring peace into play. “Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you.” These words of assurance stay with me, and I hear them re-echoing in the depths of my being.

I surrender all of my fears — those nameless fears which have beset me for such a long time, dulling my pleasure and clouding with misery and apprehension all of my days. I am now through with fear. What, indeed, is there for a divine and immortal being to fear. Certainly not people, for as I am a divine and immortal being, so is every man, and every man is my brother. I recognize the one Life Principle, working in and through and inspiring the motives of everyone I contact.

I do not fear sickness, disease or death, because the eternal and perfect Life animates my body and goes always about Its perfect work, healing and renewing that body. I am not afraid of want or lack, for the one infinite Essence supplies me with everything I need all of the time. There is nothing for me to fear, for I am an inseparable part of God. I live in Him; He lives in me; and I draw upon His perfect peace.

Ernest Holmes “Science of Mind” page 558


Peace, Poise, Power

Peace, Poise and Power are within me, for they are the witnesses of the Inner Spirit of all Truth, Love and Wisdom.

I am at peace with me, and all about responds to the Great Calm of the Inner soul which knows its rightful place in the All Good.

Power is born from with me and passes into my experience without effort or labor.

I rest in Security and Peace, for the Inner Light shines forth and illumines the way.

I Am The Beloved

I Am The Beloved

Lovater Harris Jones, RScP


Lovater-150x150.jpg?width=150“My beloved, now we are the sons of God, and as yet it has not been revealed what we shall be; but we know that when he shall appear, we shall be in his likeness, for we shall see him as he is.”
1 John 3:2

“There is that within us which partakes of the nature of the Divine Being, and since it partakes of the nature of the Divine Being we are divine.”

Ernest S. Holmes

How much clearer can this Truth be spoken?  We are Divine Beings in Spirit; and that’s the honest Truth!  As we choose to go higher in consciousness, to the sacred place within each of us and commune with this Living Spirit which lives within us, the truth of who we are is revealed to us.

Is it possible for this Spirit that indwells each living thing; which breathes us, speaks through us, hears through us, loves through us, thinks through us and expresses as each of us, not be who we are?  I THINK NOT!  We are so much more than our physical bodies.  We are Divine!

Right now, at this very second, no matter where you are, not matter what you have ever done that you might not be proud of, you are the Beloved of the Living Spirit of God.  You are made in the likeness and image of God; you posses the very nature of this indwelling Spirit – joyful, peacefulness, harmony, beauty, abundant – AND when we see this Spirit as it is, we shall see ourselves as we truly are…..whole, bountifully blessed, loved unconditionally, living in harmony with all life and peaceful.  Each of us, individualized, is the Beloved!  Know it!  Believe it!  Live it!  Step into your Divine Birthright, and as you do so, boldly claim your Oneness with the Divine!

Community – Unity – Harmony

Joy Lynn Hertz, RScP

Joy-Lynn-December-400-150x150.jpg?width=150

“The Spirit In Me Honors The Spirit In You”.

There is one presence and power in our lives and in our hearts ~ the ever growing and glowing light of God.  We connect with that power now in this time of sacred communion with the Highest of Spirits.  Each other.  Every time I look into your eyes I see my own Goodness for you are a reflection of me.   How blessed am I!

Blessed Spirit, Mother, Father, God, Goddess, Source.  Everywhere I AM God is and everywhere God is you are.  This shared belief of Oneness has been gifted to us.  And for that I am grateful.

Bless our family community with warm, open, loving connections.  May each of us find what we need and what needs us.  May we grow to love and cherish each other as our lives change and we transform.  We know that we are an organic entity, always evolving and forming new connections and new meaning.  May our words always be full of Love, grow in substance and Truth, day by day.

Infinite Spirit how good it is when our love for you and each other cannot be contained.  When kindred spirits recognize each other in harmony, inspiring shared vision and community.  In this sacred space we experience the Oneness of knowing that we are here by Divine Appointment and without doubt one is not complete without the whole for we truly are spiritual beings who accepted the invitation to embrace the human experience happening in this exact time and space.

Thank you Divine One for the energy of Oneness that pumps through every fiber of our being ~ nourishing and restoring any appearance of separation to wholeness, wonder and joy.  Thank you for the opportunity to carry the loving message of Community Unity and Harmony into the fullness of our lives, bridging the gap to a world that works for each of us by simply being the persons God intended us to be.

With Love and deep appreciation, I release my Word into the Law knowing it cannot come back to me void.  IT IS DONE!  IT IS COMPLETE! 

AND SO IT IS! 

Amen.

Prayer for Inclusion

Rev Martha Quintana, Senior Minister

Martha_226-150x150.jpg?width=150

There is One Life and that Life is Perfect.  This Perfect Life is what I call God.  It is the Source of all Being.  It is all there is.  In its countenance, it is pure Love, Goodness, Abundance, Grace. 

And I am one with it.   The moment it enters my mind, I am aligned with it, and all else, unlike It, falls away.  I am left standing in Its radiance and Its glory for I am that radiance and glory.  I am here by divine appointment and I came to this appointment with everything I need to be successful.  As I know this for me, I know this for every single person on this planet.  Every person is here by divine appointment and, as such, comes here ready and equipped to have his or her life’s experiences.

I simply affirm and declare that the doors are wide open in consciousness to welcome and affirm all people who seek us today.  We are a beacon of light for all who wish to know the Truth and who wish to celebrate their own light and their own beings.  Healing, community, and a better world happen as a result of this truth and this light.  We intuitively know how and have infrastructure to welcome new people to our teaching.  The time is now.

And so I simply give thanks, and know that this gratitude is the wings on which my word flies.  It is done.  

And So It Is.  

Amen.

There is the Warmth of Spirit to Brighten the Day

Carol Grimm, RScP

Carol-Grimm0001-150x150.jpg?width=150
I look out upon this beautiful universe and know it is all God.   The changing of the season from summer to fall is evident.  I am ever amazed that it is so predictable, so orderly.   Every thing I see from the turning of the colors, to the caterpillars, the grasshoppers,  and the moths flying is a part of the Great Plan .

I know that I am also a part of the Plan.   I am here to  express and act for Spirit.  I know that I have free will to be anything I choose and I choose to be a beneficial presence in the world.

Because I know that this is true of me I know that it is also true of every person reading my words and  indeed, every person in the Universe, for we are all one.Knowing that all is in order, I know that as the season unfolds there is abundant harvest,  beautiful colors as the  trees and plants finish their blooming  time.   The sun rises later and the days are shorter giving time for  peaceful contemplation.   I remember from my childhood a quotation, “God is in its heaven and all is right with the world.”  I give great thanks for all that is, for knowing that the seasons change and sometimes the world feels cold, but always there is the warmth of Spirit to brighten the day.I give my word to the Law knowing that it is true.     
And so it is.

The Whole Secret

Ernest Holmes, Our Founder

ernest_holmes-144x150.jpg?width=144
 We are told to be renewed in mind by the Spirit and to put on the new man, which is created in true holiness. The Science of Mind teaches how to accomplish this. The mind is the creative factor within us, and when the mind takes its pattern after the Spirit, it automatically renews the outer man after true holiness or wholeness.

Whatever the mind holds to and firmly believes in, forms a new pattern of thought with its creative mold,  as whatever thought is held in the mind tends to take outward form in new creations. This is the secret — and the whole secret — of the creative law of mind.

Ernest Holmes “Science of Mind” page 494

My Word Shall Bear Fruit

The Word of my mouth shall bear Fruit.

It shall accomplish and prosper, and shall not return unto me void.

My Word is the law unto the thing whereunto it is sent, and it cannot come back empty-handed.

I send out My Word and it is the law unto my life.

My Word is the Law unto the thing whereunto it is spoken, and will become fulfilled in the right way and at the right time.

My Word is complete and perfect, and is the Presence and the Power of the One Mind  that is  in and through all.

I speak the Word and know that it will accomplish.

I wait in perfect confidence for the Word to fulfill itself in my life.

My Word is Law.

Spirit Reveals Our New Location

Richard Mathiason

Richard200-150x150-150x150.jpg?width=150
 As I get quiet and realize that God is the one and only Power of everything, I relax and know that God or Spirit is in charge of all things in my Life and in the Lives of everyone on this earth.
Therefore, logic tells me that I come from God and I am here to experience this Life for God. I am unified with God and the One Mind and we are all connected. There is only the illusion of separation. The Reality is that we are all One with God.
I speak my word now with confidence and the knowledge that my word has tremendous power. It also does not come back to me empty. I know that God or Spirit knows the right and proper location for the Rio Grande Center For Spiritual Living. I know that the location is revealed to us as we let go and let Spirit do the work. I know that the location provides and supports the needs of all of our community.
I give thanks to God and Spirit for making the location known to our whole community. I am so grateful for everything that God and Spirit does to point the Way. God is so magnificent and so full of Grace.
I close by letting this go out to the Law, knowing that it is done.
And So It Is.
Amen

Love is the Force, the Power, the Wisdom

The Daily Meditation 09.04.2013 

Love is the Force, the Power, the Wisdom

Maria Dion, RScP


mariarev2-150x150.jpg?width=150If your every day practice
Is to open
To all the people you meet
To every situation you encounter
Without ever closing down
If you can really do that
Then you will learn
All the teachings that anyone has ever taught.
-Pema Chodron

There is one power, one presence in existence and it is Love!  Love creates everything.  It is Openness, it is Forgiveness, it is Harmony, it is Peace of Mind.  It is Abundance and Prosperity!  It is in everything in existence.  And as I am a part of all that is, I know that I am Love.  I am Harmony, I am Peace of Mind, I am Abundance and Prosperity.  And as I know this to be true for me, I know it to be true for everyone reading this prayer.  Each one lives in that Love — it is wrapped in, around and through every part of their being — physically as perfect health, emotionally as divine right relationship, mentally as perfect career and prosperity, and spiritually as the ever-deepening connection to Spirit!

And I affirm, declare, know and accept that Love is the force, the power, the wisdom that guides each one of us! Each of us experiences that love as healthy, satisfying relationships, as perfect physical health, as increasingly abundant finances, and as all of the good things in our lives!  We open to Love and align with Spirit, experiencing joy in every moment!

I am so grateful knowing this Truth, and grateful for the Science of Mind, for my Word goes out and makes smooth the path, allowing ever-increasing good to BE.I release this Word into the Law, and know that it is done.

And so it is!

We Are Each On Purpose

We Are Each On Purpose

Glenn Buckland, RScP

glennbuckland-150x150.jpg?width=150
The knowingness of God is so magnificent, all that we are is but a speck of The Thing Itself.  There is nothing bigger than our Source yet we are each such a big part of the Whole.  Because WE are made of the stuff that is only God and there is no part of us that is not God.  The entirety of our existence is  Intended into Being by our Creator.  We are each On Purpose and our purpose is a purpose of God for we cannot be anything else.God, Source, Creator, Higher Power, Greater Spirit is ALL.  Everything flows as It, through It and for it.  And this Perfect Thing originates Love, Givingness, Compassion and Peace.  Within It, all is in sync and balanced.  In the divine and sacred space of now, God expresses.

I am Aware and knowing that I am a part of  this One perfect thing so my origination, my genesis, my root is Love, Givingness, Compassion and Peace.  I know that all the world originates is this same space, because there is only One Sacred Space and I call that Now.

Now the world sees the power of Compassion, Now we see the value of Love and givingness.  Now we affirm that we all seek the same thing and NOW we come together to create the One thought that brings our entire planet into alignment with our original Intention; to Love deeply and often.  I speak for every person when I say that I see Christ in you.  Our individual Divinity bursts from our consciousness and reigns supreme in our path towards all things.  We share in the goodness that we call Life, we move toward the Clarity of Love, Compassion and Peace because that feels like home.  We move toward the light as a planet of souls united for our own goodness.

I am thankful for knowing this truth and wildly grounded in this Truth of One Love.  I give thanks for this experience and to know the value of where we’ve been.  All is well in the heart of God.

My word released into the Law of Life is charged with the power of manifestation and so I know that this clear and dynamic Truth is happening right now.  I let it go knowing these answers manifest in this prayer.  

It is done, and so it is.

Hiring The Heavens

The Daily Meditation 09.02.2013 

Hiring The Heavens

Nancy Bowers, RScP

nancybowers-150x150.jpg?width=150
Lately, I’ve been “Hiring the Heavens;” enlisting the help of celestial beings to help me with the challenges I encounter.  I’m not always good at asking for help, so this has been a good practice for me.  What I’ve discovered is that it is easier, but it does require a willingness to trust.  If it’s no longer my job, then I must be willing to allow a higher power to intercede on my behalf and trust that what is happening is as it should be.  And so I pray: In this moment, right here, right now, I know there is but One Power.  There is but One Divine Essence that runs the Universe.  I call this Essence God or Spirit.  And in this moment, as I call forth my awareness of this One Divine Essence, I relax into the knowingness that that Spirit, that which I call God is Perfect. It is Perfect and It is All-knowing, and in its Omniscience, it is Wonderful Intelligence, knowing exactly what needs to happen to create what I have put out into the Universe.  It is Loving and Supportive and always says, “Yes!”  It is Giving and Creative and in Its Givingness, It blesses.  And I stand in this moment, recognizing how very blessed I am; recognizing that I was created in the image and likeness of God.  I am one with It.  I am what It is.  I am blessed and I am a blessing. And just I as I know this to be true of me, I know this to be true of each and every person reading these words.  My brothers and sisters are divine creatures.  My brothers and sisters are each of you reading these words, and you are holy, and you are blessed and you are God’s divine creations. 

So in this moment, right here, right now, I know how supported I am.  I know that it is God’s good pleasure to give me the kingdom and because I know this, I know that I can and do hire celestial beings to help me with my challenges. I am never alone.  I am always supported by God and by Angels, and by the Love of the Universe.  I have only to state my request, and my prayers are answered.

And because I know my prayers are answered, I know that the Love Buddy that I requested for every member of my church is out there helping each and every person to know the truth of who they are – to know that they are God’s beloved, loved with a depth that surpasses all human understanding.  I know that each person has a celestial financial advisor helping them to create wealth and prosperity and to share it generously with the community. I know that each person is now blessed with a personal organizer that helps them to align what needs to be aligned; to complete the tasks that need to be completed.  And finally, I know that each person is person has their own celestial physician, guiding them towards health, leading them towards healthy choices. 

And I am grateful for this, because I know that these Angels go out before each of us, making smooth and clear our paths.  I give thanks for this because I know that because of this, each member of the community and each person who comes in contact with our community is blessed beyond belief.  We each experience what it means to be the Beloved of God.  We each experience Unlimited Bounty and because of this we bless all those who come in contact with us.  Others may belief in Limitation, but we who know the Rio Grande Center for Spiritual Living, know abundance.  It is our birthright.  It is who we are.

So I release this prayer.  I trust because I know I have hired beings who are so much more savvy than I ever thought of being and they do the work for us. They guide us.  They lead us.  The path is sure.  The results are here now. Thank heavens.  How good it is to know much bountiful blessings! 

And so it is! 

Amen!!!!!

Giving Thanks for the Rio Grande Center

Rev Martha Quintana, Senior Minister

Martha_226-150x150.jpg?width=150Truth, Beauty, Peace, Health, Abundance, Divine Unfolding, Divine Harmony; the Universe is always conspiring for the Highest Good, and in this moment, I know the Universe is conspiring for my highest good.  As the Almighty stands with me, as the Almighty loves me, nothing and no one can stand against me.  I am divinely loved and divinely protected.  The grace I seek is already mine and always has been.

Knowing that God is all there is, All There Is, I give thanks for the Rio Grande Center’s new sanctuary.  I give thanks for the beautiful light that streams through it, for the beauty that naturally imbues it, and for the healing space and community it allows.  I affirm and declare that it serves our community magnificently – allowing all of us to bond and grow with unfettered, beautiful abundance.  The Rio Grande Center, through all of its people, accomplishes the vision of connection everywhere and the mission of all people who attend to become the people they intend to be and have the life they have come here to have.  I am grateful for the profound indwelling spirit that pervades every activity, every group, and every class.  I am grateful for the continued learning that all of us have and for the magnificent youth program that has already arrived.  

Most of all, I am grateful for the community that comes together and declares a world that works for everyone; a world in which love leads the way and the rest of us follow because love is what we’re made of.  I am so happy that we have found each other and that we live together in peace, love, and faith.  It’s all good. It’s done. 

And So It Is. 

Amen.

Recognizing Our Own Self Worth

Recognizing Our Own Self Worth

Kathy Azar, RScP

Kathy-A.-150x150.jpg?width=150

I read a quote today that seems very pertinent to my own current situation.  Since I know that we all are ONE, I know that this particular quote could be very useful to many others as well.  So, I have decided to share it.  Unfortunately I do not know it’s origin.

“Sometimes walking away has nothing to do with weakness, and everything to do with strength.  We walk away not because we want others to realize our worth and value, but because we finally realize our own.”

How often do we stay in a relationship or living situation that no longer serves us?  Many times this is due to our own fear of change.  Or we might just be waiting for someone else to recognize our worth and value. Why, why, why??  What does it matter what others think?  What really matters is how we perceive our own self worth.  Do we live a good life?  Do we treat others with love and respect?  Do we honor our true God selves?  So this is my Science of Mind prayer treatment today.

I absolutely know that there is only one Source…….one Truth……one Power and one Creator.  I chose to call that source God.  God is always in, around and though all things.  There is no time in our lives when we are not completely immersed in God’s loving grace.  God is strength and divine inspiration.

And I know that I am one with that magnificent Source.  God is the macrocosm and I am the microcosm.  All of God’s wonderful qualities reside in me.  I am a magnificent example of God in form walking this earth.  And as I know this to be true for me, I absolutely know this to be true for every single one of you reading this right now.  You are a glorious manifestation of God’s love and joy walking in form on this earth.

And I now claim for all of us, peace and strength.  I know that we embody the goodness, the grace and the joy of God.  We honor our true God selves and celebrate our own self worth.  We are here to show God a good time and we do so joyously.  We send love and blessings to those who may not recognize and respect our Truth.  We know that they are on their own paths and we honor that. I also claim and affirm an inner peace fully knowing that all is good and all is God.

I am deeply, deeply grateful for this knowing.  I embrace the teachings of Science of Mind that help me to see that we truly have the ability to co-create our lives.  As we plant our seeds of intention and nurture them, they absolutely have to manifest.

So with a heart overflowing with love and gratitude, I release this prayer out into the Universal Law.  I know that it cannot come back void because I have stated it so. 

And so it is!!

As I move into this day I remember the beauty that surrounds me. As I walk out the door in the freshness of the morning, I hear the birds singing, the smell of a fresh moist day left over from last nights rain and I see the beauty of the sky as the sun raises over the mountain.

I am so blessed by this awareness and for the moments I stop to take it all in. This is what carries me through the day. I remember what I am here for. It is the LOVE that surrounds me at every moment. It is the beauty that surrounds me in every place. It is the relationship that I experience with everyone I meet.
They are all rolled together to remind me that despite the things that are going on around me, I am surrounded by LOVE. I acknowledge it, I breath it in and I rejoice in it.
And so it is.

Celebrating all Good (God)

Julia Washington, RScP

Find treasures in your heart.
 
Spring in every step
 
a song in every heart
 
Cheers on every face
 
Strength, courage and Wisdom
 
This life is a blast, watch out world, here we come! !
 
Being happy doesn’t mean that everything is perfect.
 
Look beyond the imperfections,
 
 Look for purpose within, there is laughter for the Soul.
 
We exist so we can bring forth something to the table of Life.
 
Knowing we are all special, with an open heart, great things show up.
 
Listen to the new tunes in our hearts (God Voice). It creates a stronger connection though love, kindness, appreciation, which overcomes any obstacle.
 
When we plant the seeds, nurture them, we all will reap the fruits of our labors.
 
Love, Joy, Peace, Harmmony, Health, Wealth, and the fulfillment of God’s promises.
 
As this is true for  me,  it is also true for each and everyone of  us. 
And So It Is!

My Total Responsibility

My Total Responsibility

Richard Mathiason

Richard200-150x150-150x150.jpg?width=150No matter how great a responsibility may rest in that which must be done, never let one moment’s responsibility rest in you own thought about it., because that to which the mind gives birth, is, and EVERY IDEA IS BOUND TO PRODUCE AN EFFECT EXACTLY LIKE ITS CAUSE.

When we make a demonstration, we must take what goes with it. Therefore all demonstrations should be made in peace, confidence and joy, and in a realization of Divine Love and Perfection permeating everything. The reason for this is evident, for we are dealing with the Law of cause and effect. We are not depending upon change but upon the Law. The responsibility of setting the Law in motion is ours, but the responsibility of making It work is inherent in Its own nature. We must know that we are dealing with the Substance from which all things are made. Nothing moves but Mind, and are dealing with the Mind that is the Mover, the Creator, the Cause of all that is or is to be. We should sense that back of the word which we speak is the Power of the Universe, surging to express Itself. Then speak the word consciously, knowing that it is Law.

Ernest Holmes “Science of Mind” page 304

Therefore, I go into the Silence knowing that God is here with me right now.

I know that to set the Law in motion all that I have to do is speak my word and let the Law know what it is that I want.

That is my total responsibility as God’s Law takes care of the rest.

As I speak my word I know that it is for my highest good along with everyone who also hears it.

I know that abundance, prosperity, grace and love is mine right now as well as it is yours.

Being as my word is God’s Word, I know that it cannot come back to void.  

As it says above, every idea is bound to produce an effect exactly like its cause.

I give thanks for my abundance, prosperity, grace and love that I experience every day.

I give thanks knowing that I am abundant, prosperous, full of grace and loving forever.

And So It Is!

Ask in Faith, Believing

Ask in Faith, Believing (James 1:5-18)

Richard Mathiason

Richard200-150x150-150x150.jpg?width=150
If we lack wisdom, we are to come to the Source of all knowledge and we shall receive it. But how are we to ask? In faith, believing. A double-minded man gets nowhere. How true this is! GOD CAN GIVE US ONLY WHAT TAKE,  and since the taking is a mental act, WE CAN TAKE ONLY WHAT WE BELIEVE WE ALREADY HAVE! This is in accord with the teachings of Jesus: that when we pray, we must believe we already have the answer to our prayer.

Anything that is not of faith is sin, or a mistake, as we are told in another passage of this book of wisdom. Faith in God and in ourselves should beconsciously generated. All trouble comes form disbelief in the Universe, followed by wrong acts, which are the result of disbelief and ignorance of the Law of Good, which is a Law of Liberty. 

The lesson is simple enough enough. When we ask for anything, we are to believe that we have it, but we are to ask for that which is in unity with life. This unity includes health, happiness and success. These are native to the atmosphere of God and to the atmosphere of the inner man, which is Christ. Let us dislodge doubt, fear and unbelief and trust implicitly in Good. 

Ernest Holmes “Science of Mind” page 498 

Dear Father, Mother, God!
I know from deep within my soul that you are the One true source of everything.
That being said, we are all part of that everything and therefore we are a part of God.
We have been given an amazing gift and that is the opportunity to experience Life for God.
I also know that God takes care of us to the extent that we believe.
I now remove all doubt, fear and apprehension and know that as I speak my word, believing that it is done, God takes care of it.
I am so grateful to God for this Truth.
All I need do now is the let God do the rest and be steadfast in my Belief.
And So It IS!

I Know That I Am One With God

I Know That I Am One With God

Marilyn O’Leary, RScP

Sometimes when we feel ancient and all-too-common feelings of inadequacy, when we feel separate from God, that’s the time to call on faith to remind us of the truth: that we are One with Spirit, that God, whatever our definition of that all-encompassing Love is, is in us, and expresses through us.

This is the time to remember that no matter what our situation, no matter our feelings about ourselves and the world, God is with us. The story of Jesus walking with his disciples after Easter, when everyone thought he was gone, is a metaphor for Spirit being with us, even when we least feel it.
I used to think I didn’t have much faith, because I felt I wasn’t born with it. But now I know that faith is a choice. If it’s weak, then it gets stronger by exercising it. 

I like to use this affirmation: I know I am one with God, the All-Encompassing Love that surrounds me. I am grateful for that Love, knowing it expresses in and through me. I know that expressing who I am, as a unique being, is my purpose in life. There are no mistakes in my life, for I am divinely guided.
And so it is.
