AUGUST 24        

THE ACTION OF GOD FILLS MY LIFE

The spirit of man is the candle of the Lord, searching all the inward parts of the belly.

Proverbs 20:27

 There is a purpose and a plan in all creation.  The Divine Intelligence has always known what It was doing.  It now knows why It created me, and It is urging me to fulfill my destiny.  All of the action of God is where I am, and is in action through me at every instant.  What I need is seeking me.  What I want, I now have, for all of God is mine, Infinite Mind acts in fullness through Its creation, and I am impelled to right action.

This perfect action of Mind within me governs and directs me in pathways of blessedness.  All health is flowing through me.  God’s health is complete, and I am incapable of experiencing disease.  Vitality quickens my body, and my strength is unlimited.  Fatigue cannot operate in me today.  I am strong in the Truth, and I am vitalized by It.  I accept the perfect action of God as health, and I radiate this to others.  My strength is sufficient for every demand of life.

Prosperity is the full action of God in my world of affairs.  Business is good, for business is the circulatory action of Ideas.  I accept money as an activity of the Spirit, and I use it with wisdom. I accept the freedom which money gives to me.  I rejoice in an inflow and an outflow of money.  God’s Ideas circulate in my consciousness, and God’s money circulates through my affairs.  Divine Inspiration gives me an alertness to new ideas, and a keenness of discernment.  My business activities are established in wisdom, expansion and abundance.

The full action of God in my life is perfect peace.  The thoughts of God working in my consciousness maintain me in poise and harmony.  Order greets me wherever I go.  I am balanced by Truth, and the words that I speak give evidence of my conviction that God acts through me.

AUGUST 23

I AM SPIRIT

I have breathed into many of My spirit.

The Koran

The image and likeness of God must be a perfect expression of Spirit, and I am that expression now.  Therefore, I use my body with wisdom, but I am not limited by it.  It is effect and not cause.  God’s true knowledge of me is that I am a spiritual being using body as a vehicle.  The Spirit within me is now in full control of my body.  It renews it, repairs it, and glorifies it.  My body responds to these spiritual ministrations, and is radiant with health and vitality.

The Spirit within me inspires my mind with perfect ideas and true wisdom.  Its action in my subconscious is one of cleaning and healing.  It breathes through my consciousness the breath of life, and all fixed opinions are dissolved and dissipated.  My old ideas and patterns cannot control or limit Spirit.  God in the midst of me is the only real Power, Presence and Reality.  I let the indwelling perfect pattern of me be the truth of my mind today. All my mental and emotional processes now accept the orders and decisions of the Spirit, and I have perfect mental health.

I am a perfect spiritual being, living in a perfect spiritual body, and operating in a perfect spiritual universe. This is not merely an idea; it is the truth.  I am free from all false conditioning of matter or of mind. I am Spirit, and God alone is cause in my experience.  I accept this perfect concept of myself, and my whole being gives evidence of it.   

AUGUST 22

GOD TAKES CARE OF ME

Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways.

Psalm 139:3

Omnipresence surrounds me, and Omniscience is mine.  Never for an instant does God separate Himself from his creation.  Always there is an abiding Presence and a beneficent Power.  I am forever established in my good, for wherever I am, there is the Law to produce it.  I am never forsaken and never alone.  As I turn in thought to God all love appears in my heart, and all peace acts in my mind. People unconsciously respond to the Christ within me and share their good with me.  I have Divine Protection all through the day and night.

There is nothing to fear, for Divine Intelligence is my inner security, and I am led in paths of blessings.  A loving Presence enfolds me and security not born of man is mine.  Never again will I fear the future, regret the past, or be anxious in the present.  I have absolute faith in the Power of God where I am, and wherever I may go.  “The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.”  Heaven is where I am, and God is my only reality.  The Truth has set me free of fear, and I walk undaunted the pathways of God.  Immersed in my good and aware of it, I laugh at fear and declare my faith.

The Spirit is within me as definite guidance and complete success.  I am protected from all evil, for Divine intelligence inspires me to right action.  God knows I am successful, healthy and peaceful.  I now join with God in knowing this.  All other human speculations are as nothing, for God alone is true, and success alone is possible.  I let God act in my world, and I know that Divine Love upholds me in righteousness and peace.  Always the Lord is at hand, yea, even within me.  I am blessed and sustained by the Christ within my soul.   

AUGUST 21

THE LIGHT OF TRUTH IS MINE

God is light and in him is no darkness at all.

I John 1:5

The word light, as used in the Bible, is the symbol of spiritual illumination.  It is the inner capacity in men to perceive a Divine idea and to assimilate it into his consciousness.  Any idea assimilated into consciousness must then express in man’s experience.  I now claim that the Light of Truth is mine.  I am aglow with divine possibilities.  My mind is open to the influx of spiritual ideas, and I rejoice as they enter my mind and are assimilated into my consciousness.  I know that my world is filled with light, for there is only light within me to shine forth in it.

There can be no darkness, no fear and no depression in me, or in my experience, for God is the light of my life.  All evil is dispelled, and all Truth is revealed.  The Spirit within me is my sure guide to right action.  I live in light, for my mind is filled with light.  Ideas appear on time and in order, telling me what to do and when to do it.  With an illumined mind, I live with ease today.  All good appears within me and is projected from me.

This Light within me is shared with my friends.  I give them good counsel, great inspiration and helpful thoughts.  The Christ in me shines forth to quicken the Christ in them.  My only contribution to them is one of good.  No criticism, no pessimism, just the steadfast knowing the God takes care of them, and His Light is within them as their true guide.  Wherever I go I am a blessing to man and a joy to God.  The Light that lighteth every man is within me, and I share It with others.  I am spiritually illumined and I know Truth and give Truth today. 

AUGUST 20   

I SEE MY WORLD CLEARLY AND RIGHTLY

Blind is this world.  Few are those who clearly see.

Dhammapada

God looks out upon His universe and declares it to be good.  The eyes of the Lord are never dimmed.  Perfect sight is my inheritance, and I see all things clearly, easily and normally. Through my eyes the Light of the world enters my consciousness bringing me beauty and glory.  I have spiritual vision in my consciousness, and perfect sight in my eyes.  There is nothing to distort God’s eternal beauty, for I look at it and see it as it really is.  All creation is harmonious and in right proportion.  My eyes see the harmony and balance of heaven in every scene.  Looking for good in my world is easy, for God is everywhere, and His Intelligence reveals Itself on my pathway.

With my eyes focused on good, my day is blessed with demonstrations.  There is no strain in seeing the hand of the Lord make glorious His creation.  I look upon the riches of glory in all nature.  I look upon the “image and likeness of God” in every person.  Around me perfection awaits my recognition, and within me is the vision of true holiness. Beauty beckons to me in all things, and love calls out to me from all people.  I dedicate my eyes to seeing God in all and through all this day.

The Light of the world is the light of my eyes.  I behold the Truth in every situation, and the Christ in every man.  Darkness cannot limit me, for the true Light is from within.  There is nothing to becloud my sight, for all life co-operates with me in seeing clearly.  My eyes are blessed with clarity, and the Kingdom of Heaven is in view.  God looks out upon His Heaven by means of my eyes, and I let this perfect action take place.  I need no help in doing this, for God’s eyes are my eyes now.

AUGUST 19   

I AM GOD’S UNLIMITED CREATION

The great, unborn Self is undecaying, immortal, undying, fearless, infinite.

Brihadaranyaka Upanishad

God is never limited by His creation.  Omnipresence, Omnipotence and Omniaction are the eternal processes of Spirit.  An Unlimited God could only create an unlimited man, and I am that man now.  My only foes are those of my own mentality.  The universe is for me, and it wants me to succeed.  I now assume my rightful place in God’s universe and move forward to my own success in life.  There are no limits placed upon me by the Divine Mind, and I now free myself of my own limited thinking.  I refuse to accept boundaries of success for all of God is before me, and His Intelligence acts through me.

I am never the victim of circumstances.  I create circumstances and adjust them as I please.  God’s creative power is my creative power.  God’s action in the acorn is not limited by the shell.  God’s action in me is not hampered by body, affairs or situations.  Out from the center of my being comes the full action of Life itself.  Under the direction of my thought It produces for me my decisions.  I select that which is progressive, creative and loving.  The new creations in my world are flexible and bless me.  As there are no fixed ideas in my mind, so there are no fixed situations in my experience.

Today, unlimited good is my experience, because the unlimited ideas of Infinite Mind fill my consciousness.  Every barrier is destroyed and every door opens. The Divine Plan of my life unfolds with ease, for there is nothing to prevent it.  Increased good appears on every hand, and I use it with wisdom.  I am the free expression of an unlimited Creator.

AUGUST 18  

NOT TOMORROW BUT TODAY, I HAVE WHAT I WANT

Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.

I Corinthians 2:12

The future is bright with promise, but only in this day can the Infinite Spirit reveal Itself to man.  God at this moment is the reality of this moment.  I have faith in the future, but I must act wisely in the present.  My right and loving action in this day is my spiritual insurance for tomorrow.  God is forever the same; so all of God is where I am and is now available to me.  I start bringing to pass my hopes of the future by acting upon them today.  God’s Idea of me includes my success right now.  If God does not procrastinate, then I shall no longer do so.  My demonstrations of Truth are now taking place, and I rejoice in their appearance.

Today the unlimited health of God is mine.  Today the unlimited abundance of God is mine.  Today the unlimited love and peace of God are mine.  These I affirm as present facts, and I expect immediate results.  I dismiss all belief that it takes time to accomplish what I want to do.  I know that Mind acts through my consciousness as I determine It shall act. I have decided that God’s action is mine now, and my demonstration is not only in process – it is now completed.  I accept with thanksgiving the full demonstration of my heart’s desire.

Jesus healed instantly those who came to him.  He fed thousands in a few minutes.  The mind that acted through him acts through me, with the same abilities.  Knowing this, desired experiences follow.  Affirming this, results appear on every hand.  Each moment is filled with expectancy, for my faith is complete; and all impediments in my thought are now removed.  Heaven is where I am, and evil does not exist.  I have what I want, and I am that person God wants me to be.

AUGUST 17

BELIEVING IN GOD, I EXPECT IMMEDIATE RESULTS

Lo! We have shown man the way, whether he be grateful or disbelieving.

The Koran

God is unconditioned by time, space or belief.  As the perfect expression of this Infinite Mind, I am not under the laws of time, space and belief.  The instantaneous action of Mind produces immediate demonstrations in my experience.  No longer do I wait for my good.  No longer do I hope, trust and expect.  I am now established in instant results.

The Lord is with me.  The Lord is where I am.  The action of God is taking place now in my affairs.  What needs to be done is already done, for Mind sees the end from the beginning.  Cause and effect are one action.  Prayer and demonstration are one unit.  There is no longer a beginning and an end, a treatment and a healing.  In my consciousness there is only the complete understanding that at this moment all is accomplished, and I already have what I formerly thought I needed to have.

Having erased the concept of time and space form my thought, I now claim my perfection of mind, body and affairs.  I claim it as an actual fact now; not tomorrow but today; not in an hour but at this instant.  The world cannot limit me; people cannot inhibit me; and God is for me.  No more alibis; no more delaying mind-action.  God, and God alone, is in action through me, and I have all that I can use of His Intelligence and Love.  Within me perfection is; around me perfection has appeared.  Duality has been dissipated, and Unity has been established.  I thank God for this, and act upon this premise.  All that is good in mine, and all that is true is mine now.  My world blesses me.  My body is a joy to me.  My friends and loved ones are perfect spiritual beings now.  It is all here, and it is all mine.

AUGUST 16  

I ACCOMPLISH WITH EASE

God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your strength, but with the temptation will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.

I Corinthians 10:13

Infinite Mind is forever in action, producing good.  This action is the activity of man. I now realize that I am an outlet for the perfect action of a perfect God.  Therefore, my yoke is easy and my burden is light, for God does the work.  I am a center in the Divine Mind, and I direct the action of that Mind through me.  My work is to let God’s action flow through me into creative and valuable results.  This takes the burden of hard work off my shoulders, and I accomplish all things with ease.

My work is easy, for I let the Spirit within me do it.  I know that there is no need to struggle for a living, for God acting through me makes easy my job.  I now relax and know that within me right action is taking place, and that I am inspired to right results.  My life is the Life of the Spirit, and my work is to release this Spirit, and I now do it.  As I let this action take control of my work, everything I need appears at the instant I need it.  All the strength I need is within me, and never fails me.  All the wisdom I need is within me and guides me constantly.

I do not believe that I have to work to be successful.  I only know that success is mine to the extent that I let Spiritual Ideas work in my mind, and Love work in my heart.  I approach whatever needs to be done with confidence that I am equal to the situation.  I lean upon the indwelling Spirit, and It never refuses to respond to my call.  Letting God do the work assures me of perfect results.  My mind is receptive to God, and I am divinely sustained by His action through me.  Success is no longer before me; it is now where I am, and is appearing in all that I do.  

AUGUST 15  

I AM RECEPTIVE TO GOD’S IDEAS

For the word of God is quick and powerful…

Hebrews 4:12

All of God is available to every person.  Nothing is ever withheld from a sincere seeker of Truth.  The Infinite Mind releases all of Its Ideas to every receptive consciousness.  I now receive ideas direct from God, and I assimilate them and express them.  These ideas are perfect and complete, revealing to me all that I need to know for this day.  My way is now easy, for I know what to do at every instant, and order does prevail.  I am inspired by God to do right and to live abundantly.  No more doubt, no more questioning.  I know exactly the way to go, the thought to think, and the love to express.

God’s Ideas fill my mind, and there is no room for any wrong thoughts.  I claim my health, my prosperity and my full self-expression.  As I make these claims, the Infinite supplies everything I need to fulfill them.  All power is given unto me to demonstrate the desires of my heart.  All life surges through me as health. All prosperous ideas quicken my consciousness, and money comes to me from all directions.  I deny any and all negative thoughts which seem to contradict this Truth.  I know that God backs me up in every situation with right ideas.  These ideas move me forward in ever-increasing joys of life.  I shall never hesitate again in moving forward with wisdom.

What every great Spiritual Teacher did, I can now do.  The same Ideas which inspired them, inspire me.  God gives of Himself with lavish abundance, and I rejoice to receive His Ideas now.  All of good is before me, as I accept this inspiration from on high.  I give thanks for my freedom from all problems, and my ability to meet all situations. The Lord is with me, now and forevermore, and I am sustained by His Truth.
