we read, “a man may think what he will say but at that moment the word
comes from the Eternal.” “Trust your affairs to the Eternal and your plans will
prosper.” “A man thinks out his plans but the Eternal controls his course.”

“Better get wisdom than gold, better choose knowledge than silver.
Thus it is necessary to get wisdom so that you can ask aright. You will
then discover from your results that it is not merely listening but really acting
on the word that counts, and your experiences derived from your practice will

increase your wisdom and understanding.
Thinking along these lines will prove that your thinking is God’s word
manifesting through you and everything that takes place is the unfoldment

of the Creative Power in accordance with your desire. But your desires can
only be truly fulfilled when this truth is established in you, not haphazardly but
with Divine understanding. Then let your thinking (Creative ability) be towards

a definite purpose.
The entire material world, including man is the manifestation of the
Creative Principle becoming the things It makes. Therefore it follows that what

we think and feel we create. If this was known generally man would not be
controlled by circumstances and events, but would be at the helm of his own
ship guiding it into port, laden with “all the good things that God has promised
to those who love Him.”

The Father is the Source of our Creative Power, but He cannot be more
to us than we know of Him in our lives. This must not be a sanctimonious
attitude of mind or a mind that is caught up in ethics, nor in virtues or their

opposites. It must be a truly dynamic understanding of the Reality of His
Nature. By doing so the power of our thought will produce that which we
will delight in.
I have tried to make the simple Truth clear to you, of “asking and believing”

knowing that the Father does the work, and produces for us what we think. At
first it may seem difficult to comprehend. But when we employ the method
successfully of asking and believing, knowing that the Father doeth the work,

we will realize that all Creation is working towards the fulfilment of our
desires. “Therefore be ye doers of the Word.”
If you examine your mind you will see if you are creating the things you

desire or creating the things you do not desire, remember that your individual
experience is the Will of God. To know that we can think with God and will
with God is the Sceptre of Power.
