You remember the story of Paul and Silas. Praise may be called the great liberator. “Each day, in the silence, I put the ranch ‘Lovingly in the hands of the Father.’ I ask God to bless everybody that comes in contact with the ranch.”įew realize the power of praise and blessing. The hay was sold before the third cutting was put up.

Our neighbors marveled at the abundance of hay that we cut this year. Each seed that goes into the seeder is blessed, and the realization held that it will produce abundantly according to His righteous law. “When my husband plows a field,” she writes, “I ask God to bless each furrow. I remember reading a letter from a woman in the drought belt in which she said that they, unlike most of their neighbors, had an abundant supply of water, and excellent crops. Give your best, give it cheerfully, gladly, thankfully, and you will be amazed how quickly the INCREASE will come to you-not necessarily from your immediate boss, but from the Big Boss over all. Be thankful for the opportunity to SERVE faithfully, no matter how small the immediate reward may seem to be. Suppose the Boss does seem unappreciativc and hard. Be so thankful to God for it that you can give a small “Thank Offering” from it to someone in greater need than yourself. Bless the money you earn, no matter how little it may be. Bless the work you are doing, be thankful for every opportunity it gives you to acquire greater skill or ability or to serve others. If you are working for someone else and want a better job or more pay, start by BLESSING and being THANKFUL for what you have. Know that they represent the Divinity called Abundance, so bless them as such. Bless your store, bless everyone that works for you, each customer that comes in. You will be surprised how soon that small piece of money will increase to many pieces. Bless Him and name Him Infinite and Abundant Supply. If you are in need of supply, start in now to praise every small piece of money that comes to you, blessing it as a symbol of God’s abundance and love. There is one unfailing Law of Increase-”Whatever is praised and blessed, MULTIPLIES!” Count your blessings and they increase. You can praise or curse them, and as you do, so will they be to you. And whatever you call them, that is what they will be-good servants or evil. You are like Adam in this, that you can give to everything and everybody with whom you come in contact the name you like. Everything is your servant, but remember it is said in the Scriptures that God brought every beast and fowl to Adam, to see what he would call them. We can praise our own ability, and the very brain cells will expand and increase in capacity and intelligence, when we speak words of encouragement and appreciation to them.” Even vegetation grows better for those who love it. Animal trainers pet and reward their charges with delicacies for acts of obedience children glow with joy and gladness when they are praised. The whole of creation responds to praise, and is glad. “There is an inherent law of mind,” says Charles Fillmore, “that we INCREASE whatever we PRAISE. It seems that Mike, too, had experienced his ups and downs, but in the course of one of his “downs,” he had happened upon a teacher who showed him the power of PRAISE and THANKFULNESS. “They have been the ‘Open, Sesame’ for me,” Mike told him, and went on to explain how they had helped him. “What are they, the ‘Open, Sesame’ to the Treasure Cave?” So one day he asked Mike what good fairy had waved her wand over him and turned all that he touched into gold.įor answer, Mike pointed to a string of letters he had pasted over his bed-”L-I-D-G-T-T-F-T-A-T-I-M.”īlanding read them, but could make no sense out of them. For Mike, when he had known him before, had been blessed with few of this world’s goods. Among those at the Colony was Mike, an Hawaiian boy. He was staying at a small Art Colony (on credit), trying to rebuild his wrecked life and wretched body. Worst of all, he had a bad case of “self-pity,” and he felt that the self-pity was fully justified. IN A PAMPHLET written by Don Blanding, he tells of a time during the trying years of the Great Depression, when he found himself financially, mentally and physically “broke.” He was suffering from insomnia and from a physical lethargy amounting almost to paralysis. His wealth is mine-health, happiness and gold” “I am Success, though hungry, cold, ill-clad, Chapter 10 – STRONG DESIRE ESSENTIAL TO SUCCESSĬhapter 12 – THE MASTER FORMULA FOR GETTING WHAT YOU WANTĬhapter 13 – PUTTING POWER INTO YOUR DESIRE
