It is essential, if a person is in financial difficulties, to stop the thought getting into the mind. You can do this by, so to speak, nipping the sentence in the bud before it is completed. Supposing, for instance, that you are going to say : “ I shall not be able to pay that bill,” before you get further than “ I shall,” stop the sentence with the denial: “ It is a lie, there is no want,” or some such denial. Then dwell upon the affirmation. If you will only do this every time a thought of limited supply comes into your mind, you will soon be out of your difficulty. Every time you reverse the thought in this way, you arc permanently better off and permanently nearer to the time when you are out of your trouble. It is of vital importance to stop thoughts getting into the • mind in every ease where, as in the case of supply, the wrong thoughts keep coming into the mind time after time.
There is no want, God is the source of all supply, and man has instantly everything he needs, for man is spiritual, governed and supplied by God. Man has no material desires, for man is spiritual, and all his desires are spiritual and are instantly fulfilled. Man has abundance; there are infinite ideas available to man instantly ; a constant succession of perfect ideas comes to man, idea- after idea, and man re-presents these ideas; the ideas unfold with unfailing regularity, for God is the Principle of all law and order, and man is governed by law and by order. There is no mortal... mind to stop this perfect action, for there is only one Mind, God ; God is the only power and the only ruler; God is infinite, and all His ideas arc infinite and omnipresent, and man is the consciousness of God, and cannot be separated from any idea of God, but is instantly in touch with any necessary idea, as man ’has the Christ capacity to know any idea he needs. “ Tbe blessing of the Lord, it makseth rich, and he addeib no sorrow with it" (Prov. 10:22). There arc no difficulties, for all is spiritual, there is only God and God’s man, governed only by God, “ God, who give tb ns richly all things to enjoy ” (i Tim. 6 : 17). AU God’s ideas arc in the right place, available to man, and ministering to man, meeting his needs and benefiting him. There is no ignorance, man knows instantly how to obtain everything he needs. “ My God shall supply all your weed according to his riches in glory ’* (Phil. 4:19). “0/ his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace ” (John 1 : 16). There is no anxiety, all is peace, rest and harmony ; no worry, only absolute peace, absolute rdst, absolute harmony, for man is divine, governed by God, and absolutely joyous. There is no depression, all is joy ; “ The sons of God shouted for joy ” (Job 38 : 7). “ In thy presence is fulness of joy" (Ps. 16: 1 x). Man is absolutely joyous; “in whom . . . ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory ” (1 Peter 1:8).
