The Aspect of Love from Emmet Fox’s The Seven Main Aspects of God.

If you really want to see changes in your life, take one of these aspects every day and say it all day for months. It will cure any problem that you have. It will stop any lawsuit. It will transform any relationship.

Recognition is the thing I’ve been hammering on forever. Sometimes we’re in our own little world. We don’t know what’s going on around us. We can sense change, but not enough to do something about it.

When you’re on a spiritual path, you will be making changes in your life. Some of the people you call “friends” will be moving out of your life. You’ll have others who move in, but there will be times every now and then when you say, “Where did everybody go? Is there something wrong with me?” All of a sudden there’s this big change. It’s normal.

Let’s say you have 30 friends around you. When you’re on a spiritual path and they’re not, your vibrations, thoughts and feelings don’t match anymore. You might want to have more harmony in your life, and the people around you are in the midst of chaos. If other people are in the midst of chaos, there has to be a separation.

If we are entertaining thoughts of frustration, disharmony, pain or suffering, and we don’t turn the past loose, that will affect the people who can’t come into our lives anymore because there’s not room for them.

This is why we use denials in this church. Denials clear the path to let the new come in. They give you ideas of things you need to let go. If it’s not serving you anymore, you need to let it go.

It’s like parents going to PTA meetings after their children finish college. Let it go. That’s not your purpose anymore. That did you well when your children were small, but it doesn’t do well for you anymore. It’s hanging onto things that we have completed.

Everything in this world is good. The hummingbirds don’t know sugar is supposed to kill you, so they drink sugar water and are fed.

There are some mice that don’t know arsenic is supposed to kill them. They have become immune to it. I’m not suggesting we eat arsenic. What I am suggesting is that we stop putting a negative on anything in life and declare it all good.

If you believe that sugar is not good for you, and there are three grains of sugar in the sauce on your chicken or vegetables at a restaurant, it will find a way for you not to feel well afterward because it will work according to you belief. Make those changes prior. Stop giving energy to what has been claimed bad in the world and begin to declare everything good.

We believe in the omnipresence of God. God is everywhere in all things, all wisdom and all understanding. God is, period, all of the goodness in the world.

From the Garden of Eden, what we name things to be is what it becomes. God gave power in the Garden of Eden to name the animals, birds and trees. Somewhere along the line we started naming poison oak and poison ivy bad, so it became bad.

Everything that we name good is good for us, to us and through us. That doesn’t mean you should play with poison ivy this afternoon. It means you should change yourself first then play with it.

I used to have a woman who believed in all of the Edgar Cayce teachings, which were that you were supposed to eat foods in a certain way and with certain things. She couldn’t understand the way that I didn’t follow those rules.

I told her that it’s not what goes into your mouth but what comes out of your mouth that is good. She said Edgar Cayce didn’t say that, so I had to get my book to look it up. God also says that in the bible. It’s what comes out of your mouth.

The attitude and the feelings that we have must be in the good line. You didn’t get to where you are by calling things bad in one day. It will take more than one day to remember to claim everything good in your life. That’s the way you will grow in spirit, health, happiness and wholeness into the newness that you want in life. This is what all of us want. We’re going to make it happen.

In your imagination, you can begin to think, “I want to give it life. I choose to give it life.” See an area where you heart is and all around your heart. This is your life-giving area. Give life out as love, peace and contentment.

Watch your heart as it pulses joyfully and healthfully with life force. It feels good. It is the wholeness of life. Now you move into really letting that life force work out in you, for you and through you.

The life of God is your life. It moves in and through you in peace in total harmony. The life force of God is goodness in action. The word “God” means good. God is good, omnipotent and omnipresent in all ways in all things.

The glory of God uses you to make a demonstration of health, wholeness and prosperity in every single way. The life force of you, in you and through you is healthy relationships, healthy wealth, healthy peace of mind, healthy goodness and healthy everything. It is what you are that is bringing forth the goodness in your life.

You are the health of God because you are the life of God. God uses you to do a greater good, to have a greater, more prosperous, healthier world and to be able to utilize our foods, nurturing and bodies.

Realize and recognize that not everything here that we have heard is not good for us truly is. By accepting the omnipresence of God, these things transform into good. It is the goodness of God. Everything that we had thoughts in the past about that were hindering us in any way will turn out to be good.

If we understand this and know this, we can look in our past and declare these to be good. We can say, “Those things got me to where I am today. I give thanks. I give life to everything, and it becomes the goodness of God.” And so it is.

When we talk about prosperity, people who don’t know us say, “All they talk about is money.” It’s not that. What we talk about is prosperity in every area of our lives, like prosperous health. Prosperous time means plenty of time. Prosperous relationships mean love, peace and harmony in the relationships.

The word “prosperous” means whatever it takes so you can do whatever you want to do and have whatever you want to have because you are living in the consciousness of God, in a spiritual world as a spiritual being, creating in a spiritual manner.

Struggle gives us things to overcome. That’s a big key. As children, a lot of us were taught that it is overcoming that gives us the glory of God to work through. Then we can praise God for helping us overcome.

Emma Curtis Hopkins says in her book, Class Lessons of 1888, “It is not spiritual to overcome. It is spiritual to not have to overcome.” That’s a big difference.

As soon as something begins to happen in your life, immediately say, “I put life into the goodness of this.” If all of a sudden you see discord in relationships, say, “I put life into this relationship. I put life into this person.”

If you put life into your children, they get smarter. That’s a big key. If you put life into your body, it gets healthier. If you put life into your bank account, it gets richer. Lavish supply does not mean money. It’s whatever it takes to make your life whole, happy, healthy and complete.
