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.    She was desperate. The counselor know well what it was like to find oneself in such a predicament. The power of prosperous thinking had literally supplied “manna from heaven” at a financially desperate period in her own life.

With great compassion she explained the magic power of giving in some way, which would start the substance flowing back in appropriate form.

Of course, when she explained that the widow must give in order to receive, the widow’s first reaction was much the same that yours or mine might be the first time we were told we must give to receive. We always have something to give.

Indeed, we always have more to give than we at first realize. She urged this frantic widow to look about her and to ask for divine guidance concerning what she could give.

The widow was assured that this counselor would be praying with her in the faith that she would be divinely led as to how to give and how to receive thereafter.

The counselor also told her that, after starting the flow of substance by giving, she was then to get ready to receive by preparing her table for that meal she so wished for her children; and by preparing her grocery list with which to shop, in the assurance that the money would manifest very soon for those groceries.

In faith the widow sat down and prayerfully asked what she had that she could give. Suddenly she remembered flowers growing in her yard, which she happily cut and gave to a sick neighbor who was overjoyed to receive them. Next she set her table with the best china, silver and linens in the house. This caused pleasure and excitement among her children, who expectantly awaited a good meal. Just as she was competing her grocery list someone who had been owing her money for a long time, dropped by and paid her $30 on her debt.

If I could shout only one message to the whole world regarding life’s secrets, it would be this: You cannot get something for nothing, but you can have the best of everything when you give fun measure for the good you wish to receive.

Have a wonderful and safe New Year!

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

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.

  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.

The third type of prayer – affirmations – should be used with denials. When you use denials, you erase, dissolve, liquidate. You then wish to make firm new good, which you do through affirmative prayer.

A businessman was deep in debt and tried to get a loan from the bank. But he wasn’t given the loan because he had poor credit.  In desperation, he decided to say “no” to his indebtedness and “yes” to prosperity.

He constantly affirmed “God prospers me now”. Within a few days after he began declaring this, he made the largest sale he had ever made – then he was able to pay off his debts, with much left over.

Immunize Yourself Against Negativity

  We’ve talked about this before but it can never be said too many times.

 The denial attitude of mind and prayer does NOT invite trouble by discussing it. The denial attitude mentally says “no” to talk by others which emphasizes less than the best or that gives attention to what you don’t want to experience.

Instead of multiplying problems by discussing them loudly and for a long time, instead of worrying about world conditions or the problems of others, do whatever you constructively can do to make them right. Use the “No, I will not accept this as lasting, permanent or necessary” attitude toward everything.

When people try to upset or bother you with a lot of negative talk, mentally say “No, no, no. I do not wish to hear this. I do not accept this as true or necessary. Soon they will either switch to  more constructive topics or leave.

Similarly, instead of  thinking that you have to ‘Put up with’ dissatisfaction in your life as a permanent arrangement, use your “no” power by declaring often: “No, I do not have to accept this situation. God in His almighty goodness is dissolving and removing all negativity from my world. No situation dismays me, for God the Spirit of Good is with me, upholding and sustaining me and making all things right.”

Use this prayer of denial for financial issues: “Regardless of taxes, the cost of living or that rate of unemployment, my financial income can and does increase richly now through the direct action of God.”

When you dare to use your ‘no’ power of mind on a loud, unhappy situation, you then gain mental and emotional control of it, rather than letting it control you. You are then shown what outer, positive steps to take to meet it head on. You’ve cleared a space in your mind for this information to be placed in your mind. When you’re worrying about a situation there is no space for these new ideas and guidance to enter.

  It’s so important to say “no” to unhappy experiences rather than bowing to them.

Use this: “There is nothing for me to fear. God’s good is at work and divine results are coming forth.” Use this to dissolve fear, worry, tension and anxiety.

How to Dissolve Fear, Worry and Tension

 Prayers of denial dissolve fear, worry, sorrow, sickness, tension and other negative emotions. These “No” prayers seem to neutralize the effects of negation.

When you use these second and third types of prayer – denial and affirmation – realize that they are as much attitudes of the mind as they are formal methods of prayer. You can use them silently or verbally wherever you are.

If you feel rushed and faced with an impossible task, try this:
“There is no need to rush. Divine Order is now established and maintained in this situation.”

So many people get the idea that someone else can keep their good from them. They go through life unhappily believing this. Prayers of denial can dissolve these beliefs. If you catch yourself thinking in a limited manner, simply declare “Nothing can oppose my good.”

When you have overcome your fear of any problem, you have gained control over it. It no longer controls you.
