Read an Excerpt

Now Speak the Word

God is Infinite Life. God is Boundless Love. God is Infinite Intelligence. God is Unfathomable Wisdom. God is Unspeakable Beauty. God is the Unchanging Principle of Perfect Good. God is the Soul of man.

I am the image and likeness of God, and I have the power of the Word. When I speak that Word, it goes forth and cannot return void. It accomplishes the thing whereunto I send it. That Word goes forth charged with the power of God.

Now I speak the Word in your name and in mine. I invoke the power of the Healing Christ, and I say that the full power of God is now awakened in you, filling your soul with peace and life and joy. God is Light, and that Light fills your Soul. Your Soul is as the burning bush that burned with the power of God and was not consumed. There are no dark corners left; no complexes or neuroses; no fears or doubts; no old dark things. God is Light and in Him there is no darkness at all. God is Life and that Life builds every cell in your body. The tide of Divine Life sweeps through your body, carrying before It any toxins, any foreign things that should not be there. It reforms, recreates, regenerates every organ and tissue, and charges it with Its own Divine Life.

I claim that the peace of God surrounds you and fills you. That peace goes with you as a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night. In that peace, and that health, and that harmony you dwell.

I claim that the power of God goes before you and makes your path straight. It opens your way for true prosperity, for freedom, for unlimited spiritual growth.

I claim that God will bring into your life the right people who can help you and make you happy, and that those whom you do not wish will fade out of your existence and prosper elsewhere.

I claim that all that God is, is now working to move you into your true place. The outer thing is but a picture, and the power of God is changing your picture now and moving you into your true place.

One Presence, one Power, and one Mind. One God, one Law, one Element. You are part of that Divine Presence and in that Presence you dwell forever....

And according to your faith it shall be done unto you.
