Subject: Affirmation part two
PART TWO
Third, I am Spirit: perfect, holy, harmonious; nothing can hurt me or make me sick or afraid, for Spirit is God and God cannot be hurt or sick or afraid; I manifest my real self through this body now. You do not change God's attitude one little bit by either begging or affirming. You only change your attitude toward God. By saying these words you put yourself in harmony with divine law, which is always working toward your good¾never toward harm or punishment. Your real self, the "I" of you, knows this and lives this, always.
Fourth, God works in me to will and do whatsoever good God wishes me to do and God cannot fail. Our affirming God's mind working both to will and to do makes us will only the good. And since God, the Father in us, does the works, there can be no failure. Whatsoever we fully commit to the Father within to do, and affirm is done, we shall see accomplished.
These, then, are the four comprehensive affirmations; memorize them so you can repeat them in the silence of your own mind at any place and any time. Wonderfully, they will act to deliver you out of the greatest external distresses¾places where no human help avails. It's as though the moment we assert emphatically our oneness with God the Father, all the power of omnipotent love is instantly set into motion to rush to our rescue. And when that power has begun to work for you, you can stop doing things, boldly claiming "It is done; I have the desires of my heart."
THE POWER AT WORK
"Thou openness thy hand and satisfies the desire of every living thing" (Psalms 145:16). In reality, God is always moving within us to manifest All-Good more fully through us. Our affirming, backed by faith, is the link connecting our conscious human needs and desires with God's power and supply.
Those who have claimed their inheritance by calmly affirming their oneness with God, know how free they can be from human effort and planning. This power has healed the sick, brought joy in place of mourning, literally opened prison doors and bid the prisoner go free, without ever a request for human assistance.
You need to understand that it's not necessarily these particular words that have done the job. It's denying apparent evil and, in spite of all evidence to the contrary, affirming good to be all there is, and our oneness with God's omnipotent power to accomplish, even when there are no visible signs of God's presence, that has accomplished the feat. In one case, just simply claiming "God is your defence and deliverance" opened all the doors to restore a man to his family within a month¾after five years of failed efforts by lawyers to return him from exile.
Guidelines
No definite rules can be provided as to what will be most effective. Some people get better results from repeating denials. Others do better by using denials less frequently and affirmations more. A few hints, however, may be helpful. Denials tend to erase or dissolve. Affirmations build up, and give strength or power. People who remember vividly, and are inclined to dwell on past pains or sorrows need to repeat denials frequently, for denials cleanse the mind and blot out of memory all seeming evil and unhappiness, so they feel more like a dream. Denials are particularly effective for people who are intolerant, judgmental, or aggressively immoral, and for those who have become overconfident, thinking the human is sufficient in itself for all things. Denials are important also for the selfish and any who find it easy to harm others.
Affirmations are most powerful for the timid and those who feel inefficient or incompetent, those who are afraid of others or "give in" easily, and those who are anxious or doubtful. Affirmations help those in positions of responsibility, as well.
People who are self-negating or passive need to use affirmations more, and people who are self-confident or unforgiving need denials more. Deny the appearance of evil or harm; affirm good. Deny weakness; affirm strength. Deny any undesirable condition and affirm the good that you desire. This is what Jesus meant when He said "All things whatsoever ye pray and ask for, believe [claim and affirm] that ye receive them, and ye shall have them" (Mark 11:24). This is what is meant by the promise that "Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon [that you stand squarely or firmly on]*, to you have I given it" (Josh. 1:13).
Practice these denials and affirmations silently in the street, in the car, when you are awake at night anywhere, everywhere, and you'll begin to experience a wonderful new mastery over external things and over yourself.
If there comes a time when you're confused about what to do or say, stand still and affirm "God in me is infinite wisdom; I know just what to do." Then act on whatever comes to mind in the stillness that follows. "For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to withstand or gainsay" (Luke 21:15). Don't worry, but depend fully on the principle, and you'll be surprised at the sudden inspiration that comes to you. This principle¾of denying and affirming always works. It can be used to solve any of life's problems, regardless of the nature of the problem. This principle frees us, God's heirs, from all undesirable conditions. It always brings good into peoples' lives. All we need to do is use these simple rules and practice them faithfully, until they lead us into such complete realization of our own Godhood that we no longer need to depend on them.
