THE SANCTUARY OF THE SILENT HEALING POWER
the Father united in ourselves whatever we ask the Father will produce. But
this law is to be applied otherwise it will not work. “Ye ask and receive not
because ye ask amiss.” James the apostle also says in similar words that
we must use faith with never a doubt for the doubtful (double-minded) person
can never get anything from the Lord.
There are too many organisations that thrive on ‘sin’ and too many
preachers concentrating on the evil in the world. We want an abundance of
preachers who can love only the good and preach it, then evil, having no
substantiality, will fade into nothingness.
Jesus says to us, “ye have heard that it hath been said, thou shalt love thy
neighbour and hate thine enemies but I say unto you Love your enemies
and bless them that curse you, do good unto them that hate you and pray for
them that despitefully use you and persecute you that ye may be children
of your Father which is in heaven.”
Evil is in man’s mind and those who dwell upon it reap plenty of it.
How can you pray to a Father of Love if you have hate in your heart and evil
in your eyes? To approach the Father you must approach him in Spirit and
in Truth.
One must look into one’s own heart and there discern the cause of one’s
own misery. Are you generous and big or are you selfish and small? You
cannot be a kind person if you are kind to one and unkind to another. You
cannot be a loving person if you love one and hate another. Listen to what
the man of Galilee says to you, “give and it shall be given unto you, good
measure pressed down and shaken together and running over shall men give
unto your bosom, for with the same measure that ye mete withal shall it be
measured to you again.” And again, “if you only love those who love you
what credit is that to you.”
The simple fact that two and two makes four is an eternal truth. The
Spiritual and Mental Laws are fixed with the same exactitude, they are as simple
and accurate as the Laws of Mathematics. Your attitude of mind will produce
similar results, the two are inseparable.
So when you pray, pray with understanding, knowing that the Presence
that dwells within is eternally linked with the Eternal Presence that created the
Universe “who” has become what He made.
Within ourselves then are the attributes of God and before you come into
communication with this Divine Presence dwell upon the love, the wisdom
