What Can I Give?

by

As we end 2010, I thought this story by Catherine Ponder was the most appropriate post to end with. Take this into your soul and process it so that you can practice giving throughout 2011 and beyond. This is a very touching (and true) story.

What Can I Give?

“What could a person give when he seems so in lack?” There is always some” thing a person can give, either tangibly or intangibly, that will put him in touch with God’s rich supply. A widow with a house full of children once telephoned a coun¬selor. She had no money or food for her children. It was lunch time and her chil¬dren had not eaten since the day before.

How To Pay Your Bills Quickly

How to Pay Your Bills Quickly

In order to help you establish the all-important prosperous attitude, that God is the Source of man’s supply as the Creator of this rich universe, and that God’s will for you is therefore the wealth of the universe, I suggest that you paraphrase the words of Jehovah to Moses; “I will remember Jehovah God, for He it is that giveth me power to experience wealth.” (Deutereonorny 8: 18)

Perhaps you are thinking, “Yes, but is this kind of thinking practical? Can such attitudes actually help put shoes on the baby, food on the table and pay the rent?” Yes it can!

Whenever a financial need is near, meditate over and over upon this promise from the 46th Psalm” “Be still, and know that I am God.” (psalms 46: 1 0)

This is a prosperity secret successfully used by a housewife which proved to be a great unfailing source of strength and supply when she quietly meditate in this words: “Be still; and know that I am God at work in this situation now.”

The Psalmist was recognizing God as the Source or his supply when he declared, “The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.” (Psalm 23: 1)

This is a good prosperity prayer to declare often.

You Can’t Get Something For Nothing

You Can’t Get Something For Nothing

I agree with Emerson that it is time the law of compensation was emphasized as life’s basic law. I like to think of this basic law of prosperity as radiation and attraction: that what you radiate outward in your thoughts, feelings, mental pictures and words, you attract into your life and affairs. But you cannot get something for nothing.

The reason why there is still poverty in this universe of lavish abundance is that many people still do not understand this basic law of life; they do not yet realize that they must radiate in order to attract, and that what they do radiate they constantly attract. Most people today still have to learn that they cannot get something for nothing, but must give before receiving or must sow before reaping. When they do not give or sow in terms of prosperity, they make no contact with God’s lavish abundance, and so there is no channel formed through which the rich, unlimited substance of the universe can pour forth its riches to them.

The truth of this was recently brought to my attention when I had contact with some people in a poverty stricken area. I soon discovered that these people only wanted a “hand-out.” They were not interested in invoking the basic law of prosperity by giving or sowing first. Instead, they were trying to get something for nothing, which simply cannot be done. Thus, they continued to live in poverty.

Prayers of Meditation & Silence

  The fourth type of prayer is the prayer of meditation and silence. it is often in meditation and silent, contemplative prayer that you feel the presence of God is goodness most strongly. In this type of prayer, you take a few meaningful words and think about them and feed upon them silently.

As you think about them and contemplate them, they grow in your mind as expanded ideas that move you into right action, or perhaps as peaceful assurance that all is well and no action is needed.  If nothing seems to happen in meditation, you have still made the mind receptive to God’s good and, at the right time, ideas and opportunities will be revealed as a result of your spiritual exercise in meditation.

Moses, Elijah and Jesus (among others) proved the practical result-getting power of silent meditation.

You probably don’t even realize that you’ve been meditating whether you’ve been aware of it or not.  The word meditate means to think about, to contemplate, to consider deeply and continuously.
