Assignment 31
 
There is no need of lack of any kind. The law of God does not take into consideration a deficiency of any kind. There is no normal natural void. There no space in God’s world that contains nothing. Nature abhors a vacuum. There is no true emptiness. The only seeming empty place is in man’s conscious mind when he is unaware of is fullness. We can only be separated from the abundance of God by the width of a thought in our mind.
 
Man has lived so long with a mixed consciousness; it is what the Scriptures call double-minded. “A double-minded man is unstable in all his ways.” (James 1:8) We have been so filled with double-mindedness that we no longer know what is true and what is untrue. We have named things good and evil, clean and unclean, virtue and vice, until we are saturated in nothingness. We are bored with the things we name good and fearful of the things we call evil – when all the time there is only Spiritual Substance. 
 
Spiritual Substance is the essence of our bodies. It flows through our minds like wine. It is the unchangeable, intrinsic, whole, complete, absolute, essential, and indispensable something that exists; and because of it all that exists came to be. Out of Spiritual Substance as the activity of mind comes all material good, first as ideas and then as all things needful, such as wealth and abundance in the outer.
 
In this field active believing is the magic wand. All outer good stems from the inner push we call desire. Desire means “from the Father.” Every thought and word brings forth a reaction in Spiritual Substance.
 
Out of Spiritual Substance comes the essence that feeds our bodies. It is not the meat and bread that builds the body but the invisible essence. It is not the heat-producing calories or the energy-producing vitamin that is vital to life. It is the invisible Spiritual Substance.
 
Spiritual Substance is love in action, and without love no human being is fully alive. Its absence causes the body to lose its resiliency and the flesh to dry up. Old age is love forgotten. None need be old! Without love, children wilt and die. Spiritual Substance invisible lies back of all matter and form. Spiritual Substance cannot suffer loss, it can never be depleted. It is God! “I have meat you know not of.” (Jesus)

SPIRITUAL SUBSTANCE

31st Day, Wednesday. Read Matthew 13: 3-9, 18-23.

There is a kingdom of abundance of all things, and it may be found by those who seek it and are willing to comply with its laws. Substance exists in a realm of ideas and is powerful when handled by one who is familiar with its characteristics.

Spiritual substance is the source of all material wealth and cannot suffer loss or destruction by human thought. It is always with us, ready to be used and to make the consciousness potent and fertile. In this connection Jesus said, “I have meat to eat that ye know not.”

Just as the earth is the universal matrix in which all vegetation develops, so this invisible Spirit substance is the universal matrix in which ideas of prosperity germinate and grow and bring forth according to our faith and trust.

I know that any seed words that are planted in omnipresent Spirit substance will germinate and grow and bring forth fruit “after their kind.” Just as the farmer selects the best seed for planting, so I must choose the words that will bring forth the rich harvest of plenty.

To gain control of Spirit substance I grasp it with my mind; that is, lay hold of the idea back of it. Right thinking is necessary in using my mind constructively to bring about right results.

I affirm: “Divine substance flows in all its fullness into my consciousness and through me as prosperity into all my affairs.”

Questions:

1. How may the kingdom of abundance be found?

2. Where does substance exist?

3. What is spiritual substance?

4. How can we gain control of Spirit substance?

If I have a need of any kind, I open myself to the substance of Spirit. I give thanks that there is abundant supply for every need.

Remember, God is Blessing You, Right Now!
