Use your Invisible Power!

"God has given you everything. All is yours, and you know that all you have to do is to reach out your mental hand and take it." - Genevieve Behrend from Your Invisible Power.



Genevieve Behrend studied with Judge Thomas Troward, an early practitioner and philosopher of Mental Science, from 1912 to 1914. She spent 35 years as one of America's best known lecturers and teachers and founded schools in both New York and Los Angeles. When I read from her book "Your Invisible Power" or from any of the Christian Science testamonials I am always struck by the persistence of their use of affirmations.

Backed by deep faith in the idea that we are all part of the One substance and that if something exists one place in the universe it exists all places, an affirmation is not done once but as many times as is needed for the thing affirmed to manifest. There is no giving up with an "Oh its just not meant to be."

If a state of health or wealth or a job or the rent is needed, the affirming is stated as a present reality in the mind. An example might be, I am the health of God or I affirm that my needs are met now. The situation is not worried over, those thoughts are replaced promptly with the affirming of the Spiritual Truth, my needs/health are supplied by God.

I know this invisible power but I often forget my part in its action; believing and affirming and not allowing doubt to take hold. If this whole idea rings true for you may I ask are you putting it in practice? Are you doing your part?

Think of it like keeping the door open to the light. In time it may be possible to not have doubts but right now I know I need to keep proping that door open with my mental hand, my words and thoughts and receive my good today.

The best thing about the future is that it only comes one day at a time. - Abraham Lincoln
