Your Word is Your Wand

Manʹs word is his wand filled with magic and power!

Jesus Christ emphasized the power of the word; ʺBy thy
words thou shalt be justified and by thy words thou shalt
be condemned,ʺ and ʺdeath and life are in power of the
tongue.ʺ

So man has power to change an unhappy condition by
waving over it the wand of his word.

In the place of sorrow appears joy, in the place of sickness
appears health, in the place of lack appears plenty.

For example: A woman came for a treatment for prosperity.
She possessed just two dollars in the world.

I said: ʺWe bless the two dollars and know that you have
the magic purse of the Spirit; it can never be depleted; as
money goes out, immediately money comes in, under grace
in perfect ways.

I see it always crammed, jammed with money: yellow bills,
green bills, pink checks, blue checks, white checks, gold,
silver and currency. I see it bulging with abundance!ʺ

She replied: ʺI feel my bag heavy with money,ʺ and was so
filled with faith that she gave me one of her dollars as a love
offering. I did not dare refuse it and see lack for her, as it
was important that I hold the picture of plenty.

Shortly afterwards she was made a gift of six thousand
dollars. Fearless faith and the spoken word brought it to
pass.

The affirmation of the magic purse is very powerful, as it
brings a vivid picture to the mind. It is impossible not to see
your purse or wallet filled with money when using the
words, ʺcrammed, jammed.ʺ

The imaging faculty is the creative faculty and it is
important to choose words which bring a flash of the
fulfillment of the demand.

Never force a picture by visualizing; let the Divine Idea
flash into your conscious mind; then the student is working
according to the Divine Design.

(See The Game of Life and How to Play It)

Jesus Christ said: ʺYe shall know the Truth and the Truth
shall make you free.ʺ

This means that man must know the Truth of every
situation which confronts him.

There is no Truth in lack or limitation. He waves over it the
wand of His Word and the wilderness rejoices and blossoms as
the rose.

Fear, doubt, anxiety, anger, resentment pull down the cells
of the body, shock the nervous system and are the causes of
disease and disaster.

Happiness and health must be earned by absolute control of
the emotional nature.

Power moves but is never moved. When man stands calm
and serene, has a good appetite, feels contented and happy
when appearances are against him, he has reached mastery.
Then he has power to ʺrebuke the winds and the waves,ʺ to
control conditions.

His word is his wand and he transmutes apparent failure
into success.

He knows his universal supply is endless and immediate
and all his needs manifest instantly on the external.

For example, a woman at sea awoke in the morning hearing
the fog‐horns blowing. A dense fog had settled on the
ocean with no apparent signs of clearing. She immediately
spoke the word: ʺThere are no fogs in Divine Mind, so let
the fog be lifted! I give thanks for the sun!ʺ

Soon the sun came out, for man has dominion over ʺthe
elements—over all created things.ʺ

Every man has power to lift the fog in his life. It may be a
fog of lack of money, love, happiness or health.

Give thanks for the sun!
