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.

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.

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.

Ye shall know them by their fruits.

Matthew 7:16

I have faith that God, the Good, is all there really is.  Always, I am supported by the action of Good, the action of God.  Problems are merely the acknowledgment of the power of evil.  I now refuse to believe that any situation can confuse me, make me sick, or limit me.  Either I live in God, or I live in nothing but material belief.  I now choose to live in God, and immediately I renounce every thought of negation.  I assume victory over my world, my body and my finances.  God in the midst of me is victorious over the doubts of my mind.  Joyous accomplishment saturates my life, and victory is mine now.

I let Divine Ideas work in me, for I know they are powerful and quick to accomplish their ends.  They arrive in my consciousness equipped to demonstrate themselves, and I give them my loving attention.  God’s Ideas functioning within me are my only source of power, health and peace. These alone make my life victorious and undaunted.  I meet every hour of this day with a deep inner conviction that I am spiritually able to handle every situation with poise.  Order prevails; love is in control; and peace is the result.

I face all problems with inspiration and an expectancy of handling them with ease.  I know that from a center within me, I control the events around me.  I am calm and victorious at the center, and therefore my world is calm and victorious at the circumference.  Christ is me is my hope of glorious achievement, and around me all things work together for good.  Inspired by Divine Mind, I act with wisdom in all matters.  Enfolded in Divine love, I handle all personalities with love and understanding.  Undaunted by things and people, I am always in control of my life, and victory is forever mine.  Today is the day of Spiritual Victory.

I CONTROL MY THOUGHT

Thou art of purer eyes than to behold evil, and canst not look on iniquity.

Habakkuk 1:13

Free will does not mean that wrong thinking is justifiable.  Infinite Mind created man a free soul in order that man might experiment with varying combinations of right ideas.  I am free to think in all possible ways about the good, the true and the perfect.  There are endless possibilities of right thinking and of right action.  I now assume dominion of my mind and emotions, and dedicate them to positive goals.  I enjoy the infinite variety of Divine ideas, and I contemplate their possibilities of making me a new creature expressing spiritual discernment.

My faith in God is so great that I have no faith in evil.  I cannot conceive of evil’s power, for I know that God alone is power and is presence.  Life to me is an affirmative action of thought.  I think affirmatively this day, knowing that good is created, maintained and extended by so doing.  I drink of the living water of spiritual Truth, and am never thirsty for error again.  I eat of the heavenly manna of God’s Ideas, and never again hunger for old experiences.  I look forward with my mind and create good ahead of me.  I do this deliberately, for my future will be the result of my thinking today.

God’s thoughts are now my thoughts, and good appears instantly wherever I look. Thinking rightly of God and of man is a joyous and easy accomplishment.  My mind is centered in heaven and good is established in my earth.  Ideas of good appear in my consciousness continuously, and I give them free action through me.  I am in full control of my own destiny, and I now create good alone.  Recognizing only the one true Source of my thinking, I experience only the one possible effect in my experience – the effect of good.  Controlled, poised and sure, I see God everywhere as I think His thoughts with Him.

MY FAITH IN GOD IS GREAT

Even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.

Psalm 90:2

The Mind which conceived me is with me.  The Power which has brought me this far attends me all the way.  Heaven is where I am and Love fills my environment.  All power is in action through me and I accomplish my good works with ease.  I am as certain of these truths as I am of life itself.  There is no doubt or questions in my mind.  I know a perfect God, a complete Mind and a definite Law.  I do not go to It, for I am already in It.  I do not seek It, for I already have all that God is and can ever be.

Having accepted this full understanding of Truth, I now live in such a way that I prove my faith.  I dedicate my thought to true and positive ideas.  I dedicate my feelings to Divine Love and Divine Understanding.  I let my human ego become as nothing, for I desire that only the Christ Ideas govern my life.  I rise steadfastly out of all pettiness in human relationships.  I live as a Spiritual Being, and I acknowledge all with whom I live, play and work as Sons of God.  I face the future with joy, for I see idea after idea unfolding in perfect order.  The future will be good, and I now have health, peace of mind, and security.

My universe is alive with good, and I have dismissed evil forevermore.  I know that I am upheld, and maintained by God, and by God alone.  I know that my thought demonstrates instantly the desires of my heart.  I have faith in all that is good and true.  I have faith in a protecting Presence and an indwelling Power.  Today, I rejoice and am glad.
