My book selection this week is Cosmic Economics. You can always pick yourself up out of the dumps by picking up one of the Master Prophet E. Bernard Jordan's books and -- LIKE MAGIC -- you will go to the exact page you need. I did that today, not because I was in the dumps, but because his books inspire me to get up and do something.
Cosmic Principle 54--There is nothing in the outer world that cannot be replaced. This principle falls under the 10th Chapter of the book: Lift Up Your Eyes
The Master Prophet rebuilds my faith in this chapter. He reminds me that there is nothing in the outside world, the outside of me, that can harm me. When I find myself the object of unfriendliness, inequality or lack of opportunities, I have to begin to realize that these are EXTERNAL CONDITIONS and are not the truth of me. I must release any thought of harm, lack or poverty because it acts as an entity of power over me if I behold it as a thought.
The Master Prophet further reminds me that when I learn to dismiss these thoughts they cannot defile, deprive or limit me in any way, shape or form. I am then remolding my consciousness of truth.
The clincher in this chapter is when he says, "Once you have learned to dismiss them, you will have agreed with your adversary". WOW! This scripture now comes to life within me...(Matt 5:25) Agreeing means I would have given up resistance to the person, things, or circumstantial condition that was disturbing me. Any so-called "problem" is not "A" POWER and has "NO" POWER. So that lets me know that as "A" POWER (God in me) anything that has "NO" POWER should not even get my attention.
Jordan tells us that in the natural realm -- power only speaks to power (Kings speak to kings, presidents speak to presidents...etc.) in the spiritual realm it is even more so.
I learned to be still, to be quiet, to not try to overcome or rise above situations. But instead, I will now take them into my consciousness of truth, remembering there is NO POWER outside of me and will therefore bring myself into atonement of my divine self. If I try "WIN" within MY own power instead of God's power, I can count those so-called victories as dung because they were won by operating outside of God.
The Master Prophet is saying here that I can count that as a victory -- yes -- but, know that the defeated foe I just won over (as an outside job) will be back to battle me again. But by agreeing with my adversary quickly, by taking the situation within my consciousness and resolving "the matter", it is at that place -- in my mind -- that there is peace that surpasses all understanding. (Phil 4:7) And profoundly, the Contemporary English version of this scripture states: Then, because you belong to Christ Jesus, God will bless you with peace that no one can completely understand. And this peace will control the way you think and feel. ---ISN'T THAT AMAZING?
We learn here that:
1 - it is only then (after we dismiss outside thinking) that we ACTUALLY are recognized as BELONGING to Christ and...
2 - no one will be able to understand how you "take what you take" because "the matter" will not rattle you now...and finally
#3 - Peace will control the way you think and feel.
That reminds me of the scripture: When a man's ways please the LORD, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him. (Prov 16:7 - KJV)
Does that mean the way a man can please the Lord is by the way he "THINKS"? And the way you think will have your adversary making peace with you because you agreed with him quickly? And now that Peace is doing all of your thinking, controlling the way you think and feel, you should not have any more so-called problems distracting you? YES-YES-YES.
So therefore, I will no longer fight any battles from outside of myself--they are fruitless and prove nothing. The man of sense puts his trust in visible (or matter) while the man of God puts his trust in those invisible means.
