I AM ESTABLISHED IN RIGHT THINKING, AND I CANNOT BE MOVED
And lead us not into temptation Matthew 6:13
I am an outlet for the Mind of God. This Eternal Spirit is always thinking rightly through me, and I rejoice in its perfect action in my consciousness. I am never tempted to think evil, for God is in me as my defense and my deliverance. Knowing that Spirit is the cause of my being, I cannot be lead into temptation. I am strong in the Lord and the power of His right thinking. To every negative that appears in my thought, I am inviolate. Nothing but God and His perfect Ideas have power in me, nor can act through me.
I stand firmly for the Truth. I believe that this is God’s universe, and I am willing that God should run His universe. I cease my human opinions and human judgments. I let God act through me. I let His Mind make every decision. I let Divine Love handle all my personal relationships. I relax and let Infinite Truth reveal Itself in my life and affairs. I have faith that the Holy Spirit of right action is now in full dominion in my consciousness.
I am not led into temptation to believe that a power opposes me. I know that Mind alone is power, and all of Mind is for me. I decide whether my world shall be heaven or hell. My thinking and feeling alone determine my experience. Therefore, never again will I be tempted to blame outer circumstances and other people for my own wrong thinking. I think rightly always.
I am permanently established in right thinking, and I cannot be moved. I leave the old patterns of thought, and I now think God’s Ideas with Him. My life is rich in love, and all my ways are peace, for I am an expression of a Mind that never wavers.

When they came to the disciples, they saw a great crowd around them, and some scribes arguing with them. When the whole crowd saw him, they were immediately overcome with awe, and they ran forward to greet him. He asked them, “What are you arguing about with them?” Someone from the crowd answered him, “Teacher, I brought you my son; he has a spirit that makes him unable to speak; and whenever it seizes him, it dashes him down; and he foams and grinds his teeth and becomes rigid; and I asked your disciples to cast it out, but they could not do so.” He answered them, “You faithless generation, how much longer must I be among you? How much longer must I put up with you? Bring him to me.” And they brought the boy to him. When the spirit saw him, immediately it convulsed the boy, and he fell on the ground and rolled about, foaming at the mouth. Jesus asked the father, “How long has this been happening to him?” And he said, “From childhood. It has often cast him into the fire and into the water, to destroy him; but if you are able to do anything, have pity on us and help us.” Jesus said to him, “If you are able!—All things can be done for the one who believes.” Immediately the father of the child cried out, “I believe; help my unbelief!” When Jesus saw that a crowd came running together, he rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, “You spirit that keeps this boy from speaking and hearing, I command you, come out of him, and never enter him again!”
Mark 9:14-25
Sermon Points
Point 1: You must have a fixed idea before you’ll obtain what you are after.
Point 2: Thoughts do create and exercise control far beyond any limits yet known to man, they create only according to their pitch, intensity, emotional quality, depth of feeling, or vibratory plane.
Point 3: Thoughts have a creative or controlling force in the exact radio of their constancy, intensity, and power.
Point 4: Creative force comes only when there is a completely rounded-out thought, when there is a fully developed mental picture, or when the imagination can visualize the fulfillment of our ambition and see in our mind a picture of the object we desire, just as if we already possessed them.
Point 5: The chief powers of the conscious mind are reason, logic, form, judgment, calculation, conscience, and the moral sense. By it we take cognizance of the objective world, and its means of observation are our five physical senses.
Point 6: The powers of the subconscious are many, the chief of which are intuition, emotion, certitude, inspiration, suggestion, deduction, imagination, organization, and, of course, memory and dynamic energy.
Point 7: Belief is the key. Think, feel and see yourself as successful!
Spiritual Mind Treatment (excerpted from Quiet Moments with God by Joseph Murphy)
My desire is the Voice of God speaking to me. It is the murmuring and the whispering of my heart. I know that all things are possible with God. God is my Deep-Self. God is the Formless, Invisible Spirit within me. Being aware of the desire, I know it must exist in the Invisible for me. I know it is mine right at this moment.
I accept it in my own consciousness. I know that I now have released my desire into the Creative Law, which is the Source of all creation. The Creative Law is within me; it is my own subconscious mind. I know when the idea or desire of mine is impressed in the subjective medium, it must be expressed. I know that feeling is the law, and the law is the feeling. I feel that I am now what I long to be. As I now contemplate my desire, I get the reaction which satisfies. I rejoice in the sense of possession. My whole being thrills to the reality of the fulfilled desire. I am at peace; I rejoice and give thanks, “It is done.”

I AM AN HEIR TO THE KINGDOM AND I NOW DEDICATE MYSELF TO UNSELFISH LIVING
And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors Matthew 6:12
I live in a universe of Divine Order. This universe expects me to live in it with wisdom and love, and this I do. I know that with creative thinking, premised upon good, there are no impossibilities for me. I know that God wants me to have all the good that I can mentally appropriate. I now dedicate myself to unselfish living.
I forgive myself for all my errors of omission and commission. I let God’s healing currents of love cleanse my consciousness. I honestly seek to love my fellowman, for in him God abides. I see him as God sees him, and I bless him in thought and action. I release every unkind thought, motive and feeling from my mind. I take my true place as a Spiritual Being and let God alone rule and govern my life. I release Love to every person, place and thing.
Having forgiven and released the mistakes others have made, I know that my own are equally dismissed. Therefore, all guilt is erased from my mind, and all past fear from my heart. I face today with a cleansed mind and a free spirit. No one sits in judgment upon me, and I judge no one. I am a free soul in a spiritual universe thinking God’s thoughts.
Today, I honestly seek to live by the Sermon on the Mount. I will go twice the mile, and forgive seventy times seven. I will see the Good in my co-workers, my family, and my friends. I know that nothing can disturb me unless I let it, and I now close my mind to all evil. God in me is the only Presence and the only Power. God in me makes every decision, and renders every judgment. I love all people and am loved by all.
I THINK OF THE ABUNDANCE THAT IS NOW MINE, AND I THANK GOD FOR IT
Give us this day our daily bread Matthew 6:11
God gives to me all that I am capable of receiving. My consciousness alone determines the richness or the poverty of my thinking. I am the recipient of all that God is, and today I increase my knowledge of God. Into my thought God pours all of His Ideas. I do not live by labor alone, but by every Idea in the Mind of God. This is my true source of supply. Knowing this, I open my mind to receive the inflow of Spiritual Inspiration which the Infinite is forever showering upon me. I love to think with the Ideas of Spirit.
I accept the bounty of God, for I know that His Mind has planned it for me. My God is a rich Mind that knows only abundance, health and peace. These are mine today, for I am the beloved Son of the Father. The Lord giveth, but does not take away. I eat of the bread of the Spirit. I am nourished in consciousness by the living Truth. I hunger and thirst after righteousness, and I am filled, for God is within me sustaining my every right action.
My mental food determines the kind of world in which I live. I now choose my mental nourishment as wisely as I do the physical. If my body needs a balanced diet, so does my soul. As all of Truth is offered to me, I have a perfect repast from which to select. I now balance wisdom with love, joy with creative work and power with true authority. My mind is well fed with Truth.
Every channel of my thinking is now open and receptive to the Ideas of Truth, which are the true living bread. I feast upon the goodness of God. I think of the abundance that is now mine and thank God for it.
I THINK RIGHTLY AND LOVINGLY THIS DAY, AND THE LAW PRODUCES THIS IN MY AFFAIRS
In earth as it is in heaven Matthew 6:10
I believe that my life is governed by a Divine Law. I believe that this Law is the way God acts in my experience. I know that I can use this Law to demonstrate any good thing. All of God’s Ideas are available to me, and I now accept them, and give them to the Law of Mind to demonstrate. I use this Law rightly, because I give it only ideas of good.
I know that what I think and feel, I bring forth into my experience. I think rightly and lovingly this day, and the Law produces this in my affairs. My “earth” is my world in which I live. My “heaven” is my consciousness, when it is thinking rightly. The Law of Mind is the link between my thinking and my experiencing. Always, I demonstrate my thoughts, because the Law never fails. No treatment is ever lost; no God-given Idea which I assimilate will ever fail to materialize.
Divine Mind and Its Ideas are my heaven, and I am a transmitter for them. I turn my every experience into a heavenly one. I look within and behold God’s Truth offering Itself to me. I make heaven happen through my right thinking. My heaven demonstrated shows other people the way to theirs.
“The earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof” and the Kingdom of heaven is within me. Linking these two great ideas together assures me of heaven in earth today. I deliberately think of Good. I deliberately discipline my emotions to that which is Godlike. I have faith in the Law, and my prosperity this day is assured.
I am the agent of the Eternal. I am an ambassador at large for God. His will is that I shall express all His attributes, and I do this with joy. In me the will of God is accomplished by my right thinking, right loving and right action. I love to do the will of my Father, for as I do it, I have increased good in my life. I let my light shine before men, that they seeing that light shall glorify my Father.
I am aware of a Divine Purpose and a Divine Plan. God knows what he is doing, and in me God always knows what to do. I am a part of His Plan, and I play this part with my whole being. In me the Mind of God is in full control, and this is my security. Knowing that the will of God is for greater good, I let that will be mine now. I cooperate fully with the indwelling Spirit. I turn within to this Spirit for the answer to every question, and the solution of every problem.
I accept the Divine Design of my life. Ahead of me is a planned road of ever-unfolding good. Each day brings added power. Each hour brings new and greater possibilities for my advancement. I look ahead and see my spiritual destiny evolve with ease. There is nothing to cause fear, worry or discontent, for God’s will is my certainty of good.
I rest in the complete assurance that God’s Idea of me is perfect. God only knows that I am alive with His life, radiant with His health and expressing fully His purpose. All of this I now know for myself. I let God’s perfect will be mine this day.
I AM TRUE TO THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IN MY THOUGHT THIS DAY
Thy Kingdom come Matthew 6:10
I let the Kingdom of God be my basis this day. I know that this Kingdom is one of righteousness and truth. I know that It is already here, and that I am already in It. I open my eyes to see God where I am. I open my consciousness to the inflow of Spiritual Ideas. I open my heart to the divine Love of God. Into me now pours the living stream of Truth and I give It full power to act by means of me.
I am willing to set aside my personal opinions, prejudices and will, for “greater is He that is within me than he that is within the world.” Divine Intelligence now governs my thinking. I let God take over the operation of my life. I have absolute faith that increased good is the only result of God’s activity. I believe that God’s will for me is good and It is working for me now. Perfect Mind inspires me; Perfect Love upholds me.
I am a thinker in a Divine Law of Mind action. What I think causes something to happen. I gear my thinking to the Divine, and all that happens to me is good. I am cause to my world, and my thinking is based on right motives. My right causation necessitates my right experience. It is easy to prove God where I am, and in what I do. I now do this.
The Kingdom of God is within me, and I now release It into my world. Through my mind, heart and hands God works, thinks and loves. Through my voice the Word of Truth is spoken. All who contact me are healed, blessed and prospered, for I am true to the Kingdom of Heaven in my thought this day.
KNOWING WHAT GOD IS, I NOW EXPRESS ALL THAT GOD IS
Hallowed be thy name
Matthew 6:9
I honor my Creator by living in justice today. I give full credit to the Infinite Mind that thinks through me. I know that as I let God govern my thought and control my emotions I will be successful. I cannot make a mistake for I affirm that God indwells me, acts through, and acts for me. This I do, for I believe that true Wisdom is not of man but of God. This Wisdom is now mine, and It directs the affairs of my life.
I am indebted to God for His patience, His love and His wisdom. I pay my debt by living according to His Laws. I forgive myself my own wrong conclusions, and free myself from the past. Today is alive with Truth, and I know Truth now. I believe in my own Divinity and give all honor to Him who brought me forth out of His own Substance of Love. I act with wisdom worthy of the Mind which created me. I forgive and forget all evil, and hold fast to that which is good. I am conscious of God at this instant.
The Wholeness of God is seeking expression through me. Mind never does things in parts; It always fulfills Its Ideas. Spiritually I am a whole person. This means I am not frustrated, not unhappy and not limited. All that the Infinite is, individualizes Itself through me. This wholeness is my real satisfaction. I am now happy with a permanent happiness.
To me is given the joy of knowing God and knowing him aright. Knowing what God is, I now express all that God is. I so live that all people shall call me blessed. I am a credit to God and a joy to my fellowman.

I WORK WITH THE POWER, INTELLIGENCE AND JOY OF DIVINE MIND
Thy rod and thy staff they comfort me Psalm 23:4
Surrounded by Good, I walk this day in peace. The Mind and Love of God supports me in every decision I make and in everything I do. It is impossible to escape from the Presence of God, so it is impossible to lack for any good thing. All that God is, is mine this day. It supports me; It enfolds me. I feel this eternal Presence of Love.
Like David, the Psalmist, I know that the rod and the staff of Spirit are bringing forth my demonstrations of Truth. The Mind and the Law are mine to use today. They will produce for me my sincere desires, for they must create what I choose to think. I turn in thought to God, knowing that His instant response is assured. I give thanks in advance for my healing. I accept my good from God.
There is joy in my heart and hope in my thinking. I shall never again be blocked in my roadway of expanding understanding. I am joyous; for I know that I am never defeated and never repulsed. God’s action through me is victorious, and my demonstrations come to pass on time and in order. This is the joy of living according to Truth.
I am encircled with the Armor of Truth. I walk through the Presence of God. I work with the Power, Intelligence and Joy of Divine Mind. Everything blesses me, and I bless everything. I cannot fail, for God Himself created me and acts through me. My word is the law unto my universe, and I speak words of Truth. Sustained at every moment by Love, I live in peace, work in joy and relax in beauty. All is well with my soul.
