Your faith in the Creative Principle becomes the evidence of that which
will be produced. When the seed is sown, water it with faith and understanding
and it will grow to fruition.

The majority of people believe the worst, they believe they have already
received the worst, while many who may have success have no real success
because they do not know the law with which it came about.
He that hath “faith,” more shall be given him, but he that hath not “faith”

even that which he hath will be taken away from him. According to your past
experiences you calculate upon the possibility or the impossibility to accomplish.
Jesus says, “all is possible to him that believeth,” therefore ye must look beyond

your experiences into the perfect law of liberty, knowing that when you ask in
“faith” it shall be done unto you.
On the other hand if your past experiences have been successful and this

success deprives you of the conscious use of “faith” then you are on shifting
sand. For the only successful person is the one who sees beyond experiences
into that sure and stable state where “the Father does the work,” and naturally

you will think more constructively and create with understanding.
Thus you depend upon the greater wisdom of the “One” that is greater, and
not upon past experiences, good, bad or indifferent. “If any of you lack wisdom
ask of God who gives to all men liberally and with grace and it shall be given

him, but let him ask with faith never doubting, for he who doubts is like the waves
of the sea driven by the winds and tossed.” (James 1: 5-6 Eastern Text).
In all great achievements “Faith” has been consciously employed as

a result of the actual knowledge of the faith that is the substance of things hoped
for, the evidence of things not seen. In Hebrews 2: 1 (Eastern Text) the translation is
as follows: “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for just as it was the
substance of things which have come to pass and it is the evidence of things not

seen.” In verse 3 it says, “for it is through faith we understand that the worlds
were formed by the Word of God so that the things which are seen came to be
from those which are not seen.”

This means that the same faith with God is the same faith in mankind.
For what is with God must necessarily be inherent in man made in His image
and likeness. Could anything be made plainer than this to reveal the perfect

law of liberty that is ours through the Word that was with God, that very
Word was God, and that same Word made flesh.
When you examine your desires you will note that they appear under a

pressure of lack on the one hand, and on the other a more or less feeling of
