G-d Gives The Increase

Credit to Dr. Joseph Murphy, "The Amazing Laws Of Cosmic Mind Power" 1965:

I believe in my heart that I can predict for myself harmony, health, peace, prosperity, and success in business. I enthrone the concepts of peace, harmony, guidance, success, and prosperity in my mind now. I know and believe these thoughts (seeds) will grow and manifest themselves in my experience. I am a gardener; as I sow, so shall I reap. I sow God-like thoughts (seeds), and these wonderful seeds of success, harmony, prosperity, peace, and good will, automatically will bring forth a wonderful harvest. I nourish and sustain these seeds regularly and systematically by thinking with interest on them. I know my subconscious mind is a bank which multiplies and magnifies whatever I deposit. I will draw out the fruit of the wonderful seeds I am depositing now. I make these thoughts real by feeling the reality of them. I believe in the law of increase in the same manner that seeds deposited in the soil come forth multiplied 30-fold, 60-fold, and 100-fold. Like seeds, my thoughts dwell in the darkness of my subconscious mind, and , like the seeds, they come above ground (become objectified) as conditions, experiences, and events. I think frequently on these things, and God's power is with my thoughts of good. God giveth the increase. ... and so it is!

Keep the faith!

January 26, 2008 & Dr. Murphy, Prayer for Prosperity

From Dr. Joseph Murphy: "... Thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success." (Joshua 1:8) I now give a pattern of success and properity 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 beter 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."

Keep the faith!

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!
