Page 154 - THE SILENT HEALING POWER By DR. MURDO MACDONALD-BAYNE

NOVEMBER 1949

Now God is Life, He is the Living God and the fact that you and I are
alive is proof that God is living in us. Therefore God and you and I cannot be
separate or apart from you or I but is our very existence.

A further proof of this: God is absolute, Infinite, therefore there can
be nothing outside Him and He must be in every living soul otherwise He
could not be infinite. That is why the Master said, “know ye not I am in the
Father and the Father is in me, I and the Father are one,” and this must be

the same with you and I, otherwise God could not be infinite.
Therefore faith is an awareness of the presence of God in ourselves.
This is not a faith in some outside God or faith in any individual or any external

agency nor anything relative to the self, but an awareness by the self of the
indwelling Creator, not a separate Creator but the one and only Creator.
It is the Father who ever remaineth within you who does the work, then

whatever you ask when you pray believe you have received it and you will
have it. This is the way in which the Father works.
I am aware that this Faith is not obtained in a day because you have

to cleanse the mind of false teachings and beliefs in separation before it
becomes a Reality to you.
Unless you begin to discern that which hinders the awareness of Reality
you will never understand “Faith” and the mighty power of faith. The great power

of faith lies in the realization of the Presence as the self, I and the Father are
one. This is the faith I want you to understand, that whatever you ask it shall be
done unto you, “the Father, who ever remaineth within me doeth the work.” But

you must ask aright, that is, believe you have received and you will have it.
The faith that most have and perhaps the faith that you have at present
has its opponent “doubt,” then there is a continual battle for supremacy, this is
the double-minded creature who gets nothing from the Lord, with the result that if

the thing asked for is not forthcoming in the way you think it should come,
doubt wins.
In Genesis, we are told in other words, that the Divine Principle makes

things by Itself becoming them, and this includes the individual.
Therefore It cannot have any other than Its own natural movement
in the individual, pushing forward to fuller and fuller expression of Itself in the

individual who realizes It. This is the awareness of the Presence, not a Presence
separate or apart from the individual but the actual inner self which is Universal
in nature.
