"Praying,
then, is recognizing yourself to be that which you desire to be rather than
begging God for that which you desire." – Neville
"Whatever you want, see yourself as the one who has
it." by
Rev. Ike.
Prospering is a quality of being, while prosperity connotes a quality of having. The word "prospering" points to well-being,
peacefulness, assurance, joy, harmony, love, gratitude and freedom from
anxiety, fear or torment. These qualities are present in
everyone but they may be dormant and can be awakened through the process of
study, prayer and meditation. Through such consistent study we can gain a
spiritual perspective on Reality, revealing to us the fact
that we are perfect spiritual beings, created by God for His own purpose, and
that the abundant life Jesus spoke of is our birthright. Thomas Hora
Life will give you whatever experience is most
helpful for the evolution of your consciousness. How do you know this is the
experience you need? Because this is the experience you are having at the
moment - Eckart Tolle

Carefully search your mind, to find the dreams you
cherish still. What do you ask for in your heart? One question should be asked
of all dreams, "Is this what I would have, in place of Heaven and the peace of
God?" No one who truly seeks the peace of God can fail to find it.
A
frequent problem with spiritual students is the fear that they may be
withdrawing from the world. They try to avoid the garbage thoughts coming at
them by not reading newspapers, by not watching television or
not going to the movies. We can be healed of these fears by simply seeing that
we are concerned with what the world is
doing to us. When we become beneficial presences, we will be asking another
question, namely, "Of
what impact is my presence in the world? How can my enlightened
thought be a leaven for good in the world?" We will stop thinking
about what others are doing to us and start observing what God is doing to
others through our presence. We are not a target for the
world to throw garbage at us. We are beneficial presences in the world,
radiances which are redeeming the world. This way we shall not
be afraid to read the papers. As a matter of fact, reading the papers can be a
way to pray for the world. While we are reading, we can say; "This is
not valid and that is not true,"
etc. It is important to know that we are not targets, but beneficial presences.
This is God's purpose for us. Thomas Hora
Your faithfulness to duty will
bring you success even if it is when it will seem to you late. ECH
