Work – A Mighty Channel For Prosperity

Many people are working hard to become more prosperous every day; but many of them are not becoming prosperous at all. Often that is because their attitude is not right. They are not thinking about prosperity and success as they are working at it. For all the hard work they do that should produce prosperity, they neutralize it by their failure talk, by their association with failure-minded people and perhaps by their criticism and condemnation  of others who are moving up the ladder of success. They have not realized that there must be an inner working of the prosperous ideas before there can be an outworking of prosperous results.

When the right avenues are found for constructive outlet of creative energy  and the right attitudes are established a person is happy, well-adjusted and considers his work divine.

When the right avenues of expression have not been found and the right attitudes are not established, that same creative energy is restricted to expression in mediocre ways.

Your Present Circumstances Are For A Purpose

You may discover that you are where you are right now because you have to work on certain character traits or certain attitudes which have impeded your progress in the past. Every job you have is preparation for your ultimate purpose.

You must discipline your attitudes and reactions so you can figure out the good from your current experience, and pass beyond them to the higher phases of self-expression in satisfying work as soon as possible.

When the pressure of desiring more good is upon you, when dissatisfaction with your present way of life assails you, or when the pressure of financial strain disturbs you, then you are feeling the actual pressure of your talents and abilities, which are straining to express or pass forth through you ass richer degrees of success and prosperity.

Along with an appreciation of money, you should also understand and fully appreciate substance, out of which money and all tangible objects are formed.

If you do not have money and if it doesn’t seem to manifest as you think prosperously about it, then perhaps the divine equivalent of money wishes to come to you. As you appreciate substance and know that it is everywhere universally present in the ethers about you: as you realize that it is passive, and waits to be formed and brought into visibility by your thoughts and words, you will realize that you have control of the invisible world of rich substance and rich supply as well as the visible world of riches.

Remember that Einstein claimed that substance and matter (which includes money and all visible objects) are convertible.  he said that formed and unformed worlds are made out of the same energy, ether, or substance. He said that the visible and invisible realms are relative, convertible and interchangeable.

We can use this theory from a financial standpoint – if your finances get low, you can use his theory of relativity to produce either money or its financial equivalent to meet your needs. If substance hasn’t manifested as money, don’t get panicky. Instead, declare “Divine substance is the one and only reality in this situation. Divine substance does not fail to manifest in rich appropriate form here and now.” Then let substance come forth to you in manifest form, as it deems best.

As you affirm that divine substance is doing whatever is best in this situation, you release its universal intelligence and its ability to take visible form. Your financial good may come forth to you in completely unforeseen ways. But it will come when you give it your attention and free it to work in its own wise way.

If the usual channels have not opened, then invite unusual channels of supply to open by recognizing that divine substance stands under every visible form of supply, with endless ways in which to manifest its riches for you. Give it your attention and appreciation; place your faith in it even though it seems invisible; let it than prove its power to prosper and care for you.

Another attitude toward money that needs to be clarified is this: Don’t be afraid to pray about money or to get specific about your financial affairs. Many great Bible leaders prayed for money. Jesus prayed that the 5,000 would be fed by looking up to heaven and giving thanks for the few loaves and fishes which were then multiplied to meet every need. This is the same as praying for money.

God never intended men to suffer in this lavish universe – we are fooling ourselves if we think that we must live in lack. Remember the promise “Ask and it shall be given you” (Matthew 7:7) – there is nothing hidden in this command. How about this from the Book of Job “If they obey and serve Him, they shall spend their days in prosperity and their years in pleasure.” (Job 36:11) – we must obey the laws of the universe.

The biggest problem is that most of us do not ask “big enough” and we do not continue in prayer until it comes.

How to Demonstrate Money

You can mentally claim money, financial assets and rich supply if you wish to use a strictly mental method. Put this powerful statement with the mental picture of the specific amount desired “All financial doors are open, all financial channels are free and xxxx (the specific amount) now comes to me.”

It is useful to speak specific words of riches for yourself and your possessions. Declare often “I give thanks that I am now rich, well and happy and that my financial situation is in divine order. Every day in every way I am growing richer and richer.” Don’t be afraid to declare that “large sums of money”, “rich pleasant surprises”, and “rich appropriate gifts” are manifesting for you. Do NOT be vague about money unless you want money to be vague in its response to you.

Thinking in definite terms opens the way for definite results. Don’t limit your income by saying “just enough to get by”. Try this – make a postcard with this on it “Your money starts growing now. Your earnings double.”

Remember that money adores the prosperous attitude and responds appropriately to it.

To envy another’s money indicates a belief in lack of sufficient supply for everyone. Remember that you will experience what you most strongly give your attention o. When you hear of another’s good fortune, rich inheritance or wealthy possessions, you should do so with great joy and appreciation. Another’s demonstration of riches is but further proof of a God’s divine bounty – which is available to all mankind. You should rejoice in that!

Money has divine intelligence and it can tune into what you’re saying or thinking about it. It responds accordingly. Through positive, appreciative attitudes toward money, you can make money your servant, instead of becoming its slave. Deliberately cultivate the habit of appreciating money.

If you make excuses about your appreciation and depreciate money, it seems to know it and it will be repelled from you by your depreciation.

More from Charles Fillmore “Watch your thoughts when you are handling money, because your money is attached through your mind to the one source of all substance and all money. When you think of your money, which is visible, as something directly attached to an invisible source that is giving and withholding according to your thought, you have the key to all riches and the reason for all lack.” “Keep a True Lent” ~Charles Fillmore

Give Up Mixed Attitudes

Our mixed attitudes about money give us mixed results. Remember what John D. Rockefeller, Jr. said – man could use money to feed the hungry, cure the diseased, make desert places bloom and bring beauty into life.  and Solomon said “The rich man’s wealth is his strong city; the destruction of the poor is their poverty.” (Proverbs 10:15)

Just as you should not turn your nose up at money, you should not make  a god of it either. Money is filled with the desire for life, movement, expansion and activity. It does not like to be grasped, clutched, or restrained in idleness. It is the active circulation of money that brings prosperity. Depressions and recessions are caused by the miserly hoarding of money. Our individual prosperity depends on the active circulation of money  just like the national economy does.

Never say “I can’t afford….”. This sows seeds of poverty and limitation. Phrase your financial ‘no’ in a more positive and prosperous manner such as “I choose not to purchase that” or something similar.  Try saying often “I use the positive power of God’s rich substance in wisdom, love and good judgment in all my financial dealings and I am prospered in all my ways.”

Don’t magnify financial troubles. If you brag or excessively talk about your financial issues, you will have them forever. “I have faith that this too shall pass.” Then continue holding to the high financial vision of success toward which you are working.

When you give money to another person or to an organization, do not give it with the thought of need or obligation. Such thoughts only attract more needs and obligations to be financially met. Rather, give to “add to their prosperity”. This applies to all money you give out – to individuals, organizations or the government. Your attitude makes the giver and receiver feel richer.

Pay attention to your thinking concerning the receipt of money or other financial supply. The prosperous way is to graciously receive your good in all forms and make no excuse for your acceptance. It is an offense to both the gift and the giver to say “oh, you shouldn’t have done that”.

“All financial doors are open; all financial channels are free, and endless bounty comes to me now.”

Stop saying “Oh, it’s JUST money” – once you start appreciating rather than depreciating money things start to click for you.

Why is it so important to cultivate a sicncerly favorable attitude about money, in order to attract happier financial situations. Money is filled with the intelligence of the universe – from which it was created.

Money actually reacts to your attitude about it. With The Law of Mind Action you attract whatever you appreciate and repel whatever you depreciate. Money acts accordingly. If you think favorabley about money, you multiply and increase it in your midst; but if you condemn or criticize it in any form, either your own money or another’s, you dissipate and repel it from you.

This law works in regards to your moods as well. Have you noticed that you are able to purchase more  for your money when you are in a good mood.  But if you shop in haste or while in a bad mood, everything seems to go wrong, including the purchasing power of your money.

Since your thoughts make your world, your thoughts about money have to be appreciative in order for moeny to appreciate you and be attracted to you. If you look at yours or other’s lives – when they do not have enough money to meet their expenses, it is because they have been scoffing and condemning money in financial matters, their own or another’s.

The Golden Rule of Prosperity

People sometimes bring financial hardship on themselves by declaring that they personally are prosperous and blessed but that someoene else doesn’t have a cent to their name. These folks discuss the troubles of others triumphantly and at length. If you think of yourself as prosperous but of others as living in lack, through the law of actiona nd reaction you are inviting the same thing to happen to you.  The Golden Rule of prosperous thinking is that you should not think or say anything concerning another’s financial affairs unless you would want to experience that in your own life.
