Demonstrating Money

From "Think Yourself Rich" by Dr. Joseph Murphy:

I acknowledge and praise the Source within and I make contact with my thought. I give thanks that the gateway to riches is now open wide for me. God's riches flow freely to me, and more and more money is circulating in my life every day. Every day of my life I grow richer spiritually, mentally, financially, and in all ways. Money is God's idea circulating in my life, and there is always a surplus. I give thanks to the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy (I Timothy 6:17).


Keep the faith!

Discipline Your Mind For Money

This is from Dr. Joseph Murphy (Power of Your Subconscious Mind): Repeat the following affirmation for five minutes each night and morning:

I am now writing in my subconscious mind the idea of God's wealth. God is the Source of my supply; and all my needs are met at every moment of time and point of space. God's wealth flows freely, joyously, and ceaselessly into my experience, and I give thanks for God's riches forever circulating in my experience.

Total and Complete Confidence

I rejoice and give thanks for knowing that the Power and the Presence of the Infinite is always available to me. I know that every idea that moves through my mind is directed by Infinite Intelligence. My faith in this Intelligence is unshakable ... no matter what I may think at any given moment, my thoughts and my faith are directed toward God, the Good. I know that my life and my Good is complete at all times for I know the Truth, now and always. I know that God, the Good, is always with me and always sustaining my total and complete confidence in It. My faith draws my Good to me as I believe and I accept a greater Good each and every day. I know this Power that dwells within me is silently working for my Good at all times and in all ways. I never doubt my ability to receive my Good nor God's willingness to give to me that which is mine. I know that this is the truth for me and for all those who put their faith in God, Infinite Good. The way of the Spirit is grace and ease, and I accept this way as my way now. And so it is.

Keep the faith!

Happiness IS

There is neither sadness nor disappointment in Spirit, for the Nature of God continually affirms the Good in All things. I allow the happiness that is of the Spirit to flow through my heart and my mind without obstruction. As I gather my thoughts and dwell on God, Infinite Spirit, I find the perfect expression of happiness fills my soul. I erase from my consciousness any belief in anything that contradicts the Omnipresent Good that surrounds me, presses against me and flows through me. This happiness that moves through me energizes my body creating a greater sense of health and wholeness that is mine to experience. Spirit lifts me up to my highest ideal of health, happiness and harmony ... harmonizing all conditions and circumstance that concern me. I am always Divinely guided and directed to that which fulfills and sustains my desire for expansion and growth. My life is a continual demonstration of Spirit's Presence in my life. I know this is so ... and I let it be so ... now.

Keep the faith!

Perfect Fulfillment Established

There is within me a Power that is complete and unshakable. This Power within me is the Spirit which I call God. I realize that this Power is within all people. It is God-in-me that has this awareness and It reveals Itself to me through everything that I see. I know and I know that I know, that Spirit responds to me ... to my word, my thoughts, my imagination and my visualizations ... for I am of It and in It, always and forever. In this moment I recognize this Truth for me and for everyone, knowing that this relationship with the Divine is immutable and eternal. I am definite and positive that my Good comes to me daily. Daily I accept health, happiness, harmony, joy, love, peace and abundant success and prosperity. I have no needs as I am always supplied with all that is necessary for the good life. I know that Spirit works for my Good in all things with grace and ease. I am never without a solution, for my awareness of my relationship with God is my solution for any seeming difficulties. I always know what I need to know when I need to know it ... and I always have what I need to have when I need to have it. My life is aligned with right action and right timing. I know and I believe that God-in-me manifests abundance through my consciousness of wealth and infinite supply. My consciousness is free of anything unlike Good ... and I am free, happy and grateful for everything that is mine to experience ... perfect fulfillment is established in my consciousness ... now. ... and so it is!

Keep the faith!

Complete Faith In God

I have a complete faith in God, Infinite Spirit. I sustain this faith by listening for that "still small voice" that speaks to me of love, of peace, of harmony, and happiness. I depend on this guidance and support as I move forward accepting and enjoying a greater experience of success in all things that I do. My faith in always focused on the Good, that which affirms life, and that which increases and expands the greatest Good for all. I am always living in faith for my trust is in Almighty God, Infinite Presence. Nothing outside of me disturbs me for I know that All Power is in God ... the Good. I move forward each day with enthusiasm and confidence always assured that my Good shall be revealed in all things. I am always so very grateful for the Good that is revealed in my life for I know the source of my Good is God. I align myself with the ever-present Spirit and in quiet confidence I affirm that life is good all the time. Nothing can shake my faith in this Truth that permeates my consciousness, comes forth in the words that I speak, and is permanently impressed upon my subconscious. My complete faith in God is all that I shall ever require to guarantee that my life reflects the best that I can imagine for myself. I know this is so ... I let it be so. And so it is.

Keep the faith!

Awake to the Good

"No good can come to us unless it make its advent through the center of God Consciousness which we are. The hope of destiny is latent in the slumbering thought and genius lies buried until the attention is winged with love and reason. To help those in need is indeed a great privilege. But the blind cannot lead the blind. We must awake to the realization that a Divine Partnership has already been formed between the seen and the invisible." - Dr. Ernest Holmes, The Science of Mind

Today, I am conscious of my great faith and belief that the Universe supports me in my Good. I live without doubt and uncertainty for I know that the Good that I desire, God desires this very same Good for me. I know that as I depend on the Power of God, Infinite Spirit, I realize and actualize success, prosperity, joy, happiness, and love. I know that I am ready to accept .... and ready to receive my Good now. My consciousness is filled with Good and more Good ... my heart sings "life is Good all the time" ... and I am immersed in this Truth as I move forward enjoying the best of times and the best of everything ... now. And so it is.

Keep the faith!
