“Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee.”
All the good that is to be made manifest in man’s life is already an accomplished fact in divine mind, and is released through man’s recognition, or spoken word, so he must be careful to decree that only the Divine Idea be made manifest, for often, he decrees, through his “idle words,” failure or misfortune.
It is, therefore, of the utmost importance, to word one’s demands correctly, as stated in a previous chapter.
If one desires a home, friend, position or any other good thing, make the demand for the “divine selection.”
For example: “Infinite Spirit, open the way for my right home, my right friend, my right position. I give thanks it now manifests under grace in a perfect way.”
The latter part of the statement is most important. For example: I knew a woman who demanded a thousand dollars. Her daughter was injured and they received a thousand dollars indemnity, so it did not come in a “perfect way.”
