Method

or Fulfilling Desires

The law is “As you know, your prayer is granted,” and “what things you desire, when you pray, know
you receive them and you shall have them”. If we know positively that whatever we have asked for is
ours already, we may know that we are working in accordance with the law. If the desire is filled, then
we may know that the law is fulfilled. If the desire is not filled, then we must know that we have asked
amiss. We should know that the fault is with us and not with God.

Then the instructions are, “you shall love the Lord, your God, with all you heart, with all your soul,
with your entire mind, and with all your strength.” Now go deep, deep down within your own soul—not
with forebodings, fear and unbelief, but with a glad, free, thankful heart, knowing that, that which you
stand in need of is already yours.

The secret lies in getting the at-one-ment; getting the consciousness of it and then holding firmly and
never deviating, though all earth should oppose. “Of myself I can do nothing,” said Jesus, "The Father
that dwells in me, He does the work.” Have faith in God. Have faith and doubt not. Have faith and fear
not. Now remember there is no limitation to God's power. All things are possible.

Use positive words in making your request. There is naught but the perfect condition desired. Then
plant in your soul the perfect seed idea and that alone. Now ask to manifest health and not to be healed
of disease; to express harmony and realize abundance—not to be delivered from in harmony, misery and
limitations. Throw these off as you would discard an old garment. They are old and only outgrown
things; you can afford to discard them joyfully. Do not even turn to gaze upon them. They are no-thing—
nothing.

Fill the seemingly blank spaces about you with the thought of God, Infinite Good. Then remember the
word God is a seed. It must grow.

Leave the how, when, and where to God. Your work is merely to say what you want and to give forth
blessings, knowing that the moment you have asked, you have received. All the details of this bringing
forth are the work of the Father. Remember, He does the work. Do faithfully your part; leave and trust
God's part to Him. Ask. Affirm. Look to God for what you want; then receive God's fulfillment.

Keep the thought of God's abundance always in mind. If any other thought comes, replace it with that
of God's abundance and bless that abundance. Give thanks constantly, if need be, that the work is done.
Do not go back again to the asking. Just bless and give thanks that the work is done, that God is
working in you, that you are receiving that which you desire, for you desire only the good that you may
give out the good to all. Let this be in silence and in secret. Pray to your Father in secret, and your
Father who sees the secret of your soul will reward you openly.

When the demonstration is complete, you will look back upon the time faithfully given as one of your
greatest treasures. You will have proved the law and you will realize the power of your word spoken in
faith and blessing. Remember that God has perfected His plan. He has poured out and is continuously
pouring out, lovingly and lavishly upon us, all good and every good thing that we can desire. Again He
says, `Try Me and see if I will not open the windows of heaven and pour out such a blessing there will
not be room to receive it.

With All My Heart

In the heart of my being, Father, I am one with you, and I recognize you as Being, the Father of all. You
are Spirit, Omnipresent, Omnipotent, Omniscient. You are Wisdom, Love, and Truth; the power and
substance and intelligence of which and through which all things are created. You are the life of my
spirit, the substance of my soul, the intelligence of my thought. I am expressing you in my body and in
my affairs. You are the beginning and the end, the very All of the good which I can express. The desire
of my thought which is implanted in my soul is quickened by your life in my spirit; and in the fullness of
time, through the law of faith, it is brought into visibility in my experience. I know that the good I
desire already exists in Spirit in invisible form and but awaits the fulfillment of the law to be made
visible and I know that already I have.

With All My Soul

The words which I now speak outline to you, my Father, that which I desire. As a seed it is planted in
the soil of my soul and moved upon by your quickening life in my spirit. It must come forth. I allow only
You Spirit—Wisdom, Love and Truth—to move in my soul. I desire only that which is good for all and I
now ask You, Father, to bring it forth.
Father, within me I ask to express Love, Wisdom, Strength, and Eternal Youth. I ask to realize Harmony,
Happiness, and Abundant Prosperity; that I may have the understanding direct from you, of the method
of bringing forth from the Universal Substance that which will satisfy every good desire. This is not for
self, Father, but that I may have the understanding so that I may be of service to all Your Children.

With All My Mind

That which I desire is already in visible form. I form in mind only that which I desire. As a seed begins
its growth underground in the quiet and in the dark, so does my desire now take form in the silent,
invisible realm of my soul. I enter my closet and shut the door. Quietly and confidently I now hold my
desire in mind as already fulfilled. Father, I now await the perfect out picturing of my desire. Father,
Father, within me I thank You that now in the invisible the fulfillment of my desire is always established
and I know that You have poured out lovingly and lavishly to all an abundance of Your treasure; that You
have filled every good desire of my life; that I may partake of Your opulent supply; that I may realize
my oneness with You; that all Your children may realize the same; and that whatever I have, I may pour
out to help all Your children. All that I have I give to You, Father.

With All My Strength

No act or thought of mine shall deny that I have already received in Spirit the fulfillment of my desire
and it is now brought forth into perfect visibility. In spirit, in soul, in mind, in body, I am true to my
desire. I have perceived my good in Spirit. I have conceived it as a perfect idea in soul and I have
given true thought form to my desire. I now bring into visibility, or true manifestation, my perfect
desire.

I thank You, Father, that I now have Love, Wisdom, and Understanding; Life, Health, Strength and
Eternal Youth; Harmony, Happiness and Abundant Prosperity; and the method of bringing forth from the
Universal Substance that which will satisfy every good desire.
“Said I not unto you that, if you would believe, you should see the glory of God?”
Understand that, if it is not finished and your desire is not now visible, the fault is within yourselves
and not with God. Do not go back again to the asking but like Elijah, persist, hold out the cup until it is
filled; pour out blessings and thanks that it is done now, though every mortal thought of error beset
you. GO ON, GO ON, IT IS HERE NOW, AND BELIEVE ME YOUR FAITH IS REWARDED; YOUR FAITH
BECOMES KNOWING.
