The Spirit Is Moving Me To Accept ...

The Spirit is moving me to accept that Its Power, Its Presence, and Its Intelligence, is guiding me and directing me to a greater and greater experience of Good in All things. I know that this spark of the Divine within me is the very Life of me and this Life lives in me, as me, and through me eternally. There is not one moment that this Spirit is not moving me to accept the Good in everything that comes into my experience. I accept that Good is always present, always available and always recognized by me. Never am I without that which is required for me to express this Life of Spirit gloriously and dynamically in my life experience. I use the Power of the Infinite to choose, to create, and to live to the highest and best that I can imagine for myself. I live and express love, peace, joy, happiness, abundance and all things Good, freely and with grace and ease. I let the Spirit be revealed in all that I do, all that I am, and in all that I say ... always, in recognition that my Good comes from an infinite Source desiring to express more of Itself through me, as me, and for me. And in this recognition, this realization, I feel that deep sense of gratitude that moves me forever onward and upward into the highest realm of spiritual expression.
And so it is!

G-d's Plan Is Abundance

Credit to Dr. Ernest Holmes:

I am endowed with absolute control over my thinking. I know my thoughts are productive and do produce actual experiences in my life. I have no fear of lack or limitation in any form, because I know God's plan is abundance. That abundance is my supply. I cannot be deprived of God's supply. No person, place or thing can interfere with the flow of Divine Substance manifesting in my life as my own wealth. Omnipresent Substance is everywhere, evenly present. It is the source of everything which is. The Source of this Substance is MY Source and I am now directing my thought only to THAT Source. I see myself receiving ALL the Supply I shall ever need or want. I identify myself with this Supply and give thanks for it.
And so it is.

Keep the faith!

Living in the Spirit of Good and More Good

As I recognize G-d, Infinite Presence, my mind is open to Its Power, Intelligence and Love. Knowing that G-d has created me in Its image and likeness, I unify with the attributes of G-d that give me the greatest sense of Its Presence in my life; Love, Joy, Happiness, Harmony and Peace. I realize that in G-d, I live and move and have my being ... and in this awareness I am filled with love, joy, happiness, harmony and peace. It can be no other way, for the Presence permeates All of Life and I am a part of It. Knowing that all these things are present for me, I readily accept good and more good in my life experience today. I accept an ever increasing good in all things that concern me. Taking my cue from Dr. Holmes, I know that I am surrounded by good, it presses against me, flows through and is always present with me. I accept this for me and for anyone who accepts this with me. It gives me great joy to know that this is the truth for all of us and that we can turn to G-d and accept more and more of the good that is available to us at any time, in any situation, for anything. I feel a great sense of gratitude smoothly caressing my heart and soul as I accept this now. And so it is!

I Believe In The Best

I rejoice and give thanks for the best of times and the best of everything ... and I let these words be my contract with G-d, Infinite Spirit. As I know that G-d only desires the very best of everything for me, I accept the best without hesitation. My mind is in tune with the Infinite Good and I imagine my life filled with the best of health, the best of friends, and the best of everything. I have divorced myself from my old ways of thinking and I truly and forever embrace only that in my mind which appeals to me and gives me a greater sense of enthusiasm and joy for living. In embracing the best, my mind is vitalized with an energy and faith that consistently demonstrates only Good in my experiences. In this consciousness, I love my life and I share this love with all those who I come into contact with, knowing that as I affirm the love in everyone and all things, I am expanding the capacity within myself to accept and believe in only the very best that G-d has prepared for me.
And so it is.

Keeping My Mind On The Prize

Today and every day I recognize my conscious union with G-d, Infinite Spirit. And in this putting G-d first, I am putting the focus on good and more good in my life experience. I know that as I unify in my mind, with G-d, I guarantee that my health, success, and prosperity are assured. I realize that the good that I desire is mine to accept, and so in the silence of my mind I choose the good that I accept for myself today; health, happiness, success, financial ease, and peace. I know that this good and so much more is unfolding in my life experience now from the infinite abundance of good that is available in the Universe. I accept these things and more for everyone who desires to experience them. Feeling this at-one-ment with G-d and the good, I stir up the spirit within me and feel a greater vitality and enthusiasm for life, now and always. I believe in the good as I believe in G-d's eternal Presence in my life. I accept these words as my truth, and I feel blessed by them as I open my mind to the magnificence and bliss that is mine now. And so it is.

Keep the faith!

My Faith Is Un-obstructed

As I shift my thoughts in recognition of G-d, Infinite Spirit, I begin to stir up the faith within me to consciously sense my union with G-d. I know and have faith in my ability to use the Power of the Infinite at any point in time to demonstrate the good that I desire to unfold in my experience. I realize and accept that the desires of my heart lead me to a greater and greater good in all things. I believe and accept that G-d desires to express this good through me, and so I expect to experience this good as it unfolds each and every day. I live in a state of positive expectancy that my good always manifests in the right and perfect time to fulfill every need and desire that comes to me. I believe and accept that the loving essence of Spirit forever expresses in all situations and conditions in my life as peace, as joy, as harmony, and as prosperous living. I trust implicitly in Spirit to always respond to my thoughts and words that affirm the fullness and the glory of Its Presence in my life. I am always on the right path for my thoughts are always on G-d, and my faith is un-obstructed. And in this consciousness of One-ness with the Divine, I am forever grateful.
And so it is.

I Discover A New Freedom

Credit to Dr. Ernest Holmes:

Today I practice being myself, and seek to reveal more fully the miracle of Life.
I discover a fuller delight in living, and in the wonder of Being that continually wells up within me.
I think simply and directly from the center of my being, which is G-d, the living Spirit.
I enter into the faith of believing, the joy of knowing and the act of living - which proclaim the one Power and the one Presence in all things.
Today, as a child would, I accept this Presence that responds to me in a personal, warm and colorful way. It fills me with vitality, opens my mind to greater vistas, and imbues me with a love for all life.
As I now accept my partnership with the Infinite I discover a new freedom.
My thoughts soar, my experiences expand and unbounded joy fills my being.
And so it is.

Keep the faith!
