My health is in Thee, and I affirm Thee and Thy life as the
one and only source of my healing.
Thou art my resource, and in Thee I am bountifully supplied
with all things.
GOD IS SPIRIT, and Spirit is located and appears wherever
it is recognized by an intelligent entity. It thus follows
that whoever gives his attention to Spirit and seals his
identification with it by his word, starts a flow of Spirit
life and all the attributes of Spirit in and through his
consciousness. To the extent that he practices identifying
himself with the one and only source of existence he
becomes Spirit, until finally the union attains a
perfection in which he can say with Jesus, "I and the
Father are one."
Many persons who have been taught that God exists in a
realm separate from His creations and that He has parts and
passions like man discount the claim that He is the essence
of man's body. But that Spirit is the essence of all things
is good logic,
Page 94
and those who have made the contact with Spirit life
testify that it has revealed itself to them as the very
source of their existence; that is, as creative Mind, God.
Jesus was undoubtedly the most radical of all the thousands
who have claimed that God revealed Himself to them right
out of omnipresence.
The same thought stuff that God used to create man is
accessible to man at all times and in all places. In fact
we are using this all-potential thought stuff with every
mental concept. Thus we plant ideas in the same soil in
which God-Mind plants its ideas, and the offspring or fruit
is of the same kind. "Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall
he also reap."
Following the creative law that works constantly in Spirit
substance and life, we find that we are creating permanent
thought forms when our ideals are in harmony with divine
law. We thus see that our immortal body is formed when our
thoughts harmonize with what we intuitively know to be God
thoughts, and the perishable body is formed when we think
and speak words that are out of line with Truth as
established in divine principle.
God is Spirit. God is the source of all that we are, hence
the source of life, substance, and intelligence. The one
and only substance out of which all things are formed is
right here at all times, awaiting our recognition of it in
its spiritual freedom. When we do recognize it in the
simple faith that it will carry out our demands, we are
doing just what Jesus did.
In like manner the divine substance, out of which
Page 95
all things are formed, in its spiritual freedom is here in
our midst waiting for us to form it into whatever we may
decree. Thus it follows that God has actually planted man
in a garden or paradise of potential substance (mental
soil), out of which he can grow his prosperity.
Thousands are testifying in this day that a greater work is
being done in His name than was done in Palestine.
Your health and prosperity will surely be demonstrated if
you are faithful in your open-mindedness; in holding fast
to healing and prosperity thoughts.
