Love & Security - Dr. Ernest Holmes

Today I bestow the essence of love upon everything. Everyone I meet shall be lovely to me. My soul meets the soul of the Universe in everyone. This love is a healing power touching everything into wholeness.
The Law of Good is flowing through me. I am one with the rhythm of Life. There is nothing to be afraid of. There is nothing to be uncertain about. God is over all, in all, and through all. God is right where I am. I am at peace with the world in which I live. I am at home with the Divine Spirit in which I am immersed.
And so it is.
Amen.

Claim Your Wholeness

Credit to Dr. Ernest Holmes:

I now affirm that every organ, action and function of my physical body is animated by the living Spirit.
There is one perfect Mind directing my thoughts, one complete Wholeness sustaining my being, one Divine circulation flowing through me.
By day and by night I realize that the Divine Life flowing through me is renewing every cell of my body after the image of Its own perfection. I give thanks for this silent Power which sustains me, and I say to my own mind: "You are to believe in this Power. You are to accept It. You are to let It flow through you, for you are one with It. There is no other power, no other presence and no other life; therefore, all the Power there is, all the Presence there is, and all the Life there is, is sustaining you now and will continue to sustain you."
And so it is.

Keep the faith!

February 6, 2008 & Boundless Love

I know and believe that God is boundless love, the only Presence and Power. I know and believe that God is Life and I am part of this Life that God is. As I unify with God, Infinite Presence, in my mind, I feel uplifted, strengthened, and poised to speak my word. I know that my word is my deep, abiding faith and conviction that God responds to me. Realizing that this is so, I speak my word for happiness, for joy, for prosperity and boundless love. I know that the beauty of God lies within my consciousness and this beauty out-pictures in my life as wonderful, loving companionship, peace, vitality and joy. I feel the truth of these words deep within my soul and I accept and receive the love, happiness and joy that is mine to experience today. I feel wonderfully at peace, lovingly strengthened, and deeply grateful for all that I am and all that I receive, now and always. And so it is.

Keep the faith!

January 14, 2008 & Pray Believing

I rejoice and give thanks that as I recognize, God, Infinite Spirit, I am recognizing Absolute Power ... and as I align my mind with this Power, by believing, I erase all false ideas from my subconscious mind. I know that the Law is no respecter of persons and for this I am grateful as there is nothing that can obstruct my faith and my belief in the Power of God working for me, through me, to bring forth into my experience a greater and greater expression of Its Abundant Life. I am always clear in my awareness of Universal Law and my choices reflect the wisdom gained from an understanding that my Good takes nothing away from anyone else and is Good for all. I confess to a great faith and belief in the Law of Attraction as it is the Law of God working through my mentality as I affirm my Good as present here and now. I never mistake the power of the world for the Power of the Infinite, and so I am always certain and confident in demonstrating the Good choices that I make for myself and for others. I choose health, wealth, happiness, peace and joy for myself and all others ... now ... and as I do, I feel a deep sense of gratitude as I know that my Good is guaranteed ... for my God guarantees it! And so it is.

Keep the faith!

September 3, 2007 & Dr. Murphy Treatment

I sent this treatment from Dr. Joseph Murphy with my message to my subscriber lists this week, but I like it so much, I want to share it with everyone. It is a blessing: "The gifts of God are mine. I use every moment of this day to glorify God. God's harmony, peace, and abundance are mine. Divine love flowing from me blesses all who come into my atmosphere. God's love is healing me now. I fear no evil for God is with me. I am always surrounded by the sacred circle of God's love and power. I claim, feel, know, and believe definitely and positively that the spell of God's love and eternal watchfulness guides, heals, and takes care of all members of my family and loved ones. .... I forgive everyone, and I sincerely radiate God's love, peace, and good will to all men everywhere. At the center of my being is peace; this is the peace of God. In this stillness I feel His strength, guidance, and the love of His Holy Presence. I am Divinely guided in all my ways. I am a clear channel for God's love, light, truth, and beauty. I feel His river of peace flowing through me. I know that all of my problems are dissolved in the Mind of God. God's ways are my ways. The words I have spoken accomplish that whereunto they are sent. I rejoice and give thanks, realizing that my prayers are answered. It is so." - Dr. Joseph Murphy, The Amazing Laws of Cosmic Mind Power,1965

August 5, 2007 & Prayer for Prosperity

Today, I am sharing a spiritual treatment written by Dr. Joseph Murphy. It is from his book, "The Amazing Laws of Cosmic Mind Power" ... it is especially a good treatment for those with knowledge of the Holy Bible:

" ... Thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success." (Joshua 1:8) I now give a pattern of success and prosperity to the deeper mind within me, which is the law. I now identify myself with the Infinite Source of supply. I listen to the still, small voice of God within me. This inner voice leads, guides, and governs all my activities. I am one with the abundance of God. I know and believe that there are new and better ways of conducting my business; Infinite Intelligence reveals the new ways to me.

I am growing in wisdom and understanding. My business is God's business. I am Divinely prospered in all ways. Divine Wisdom within me reveals the ways and means by which all my affairs are adjusted in the right way immediately.

The words of faith and conviction which I now speak open up all the necessary doors or avenues for my success and prosperity. I know that "the Lord (Law) will perfect that which concerneth me . . ." (Psalm 138:8) My feet are kept in the perfect path, because I am a son (daughter) of the living God.
And so it is.

Keep the faith!

July 8, 2007 & Getting in the Spirit

It is Sunday morning and the weather forecast is for 115 degrees today in Palm Springs. This change in weather reminds me that life is constant change and we get to choose how we respond to the conditions in our environment. In the physical, very hot weather can be uncomfortable as can many things that we deal with in our lifes, so we take control of our thoughts and set the tone for the day in our mind through prayer:

Today and every day I accept that I am in God and of God. I am immersed in this One Mind that is God. And in this Mind I can accept into my mental household a unity with joy, happiness, harmony and love. I am alive and in love with this experience called Life today and every day. I am open and receptive to wonderful new experiences today. I embrace this day knowing that it is the perfect day for me to expand my awareness of who I am and my place in the Universe. I allow myself to be loved today, to be prospered today, and to be friendly and responsive to all who come into my experience. I know that my mind attracts to me only those people, places and things that are a benefit to me. I know that the Universe supports me through these people, places and things and supports all those who participate in my life today. This idea is the truth for me and is a joy for me ... today and always. And so it is.

Keep the faith!
