Wednesday Evening, July 19th, 1911.
The better and deeper our understanding of a proposition and the more we can express, the more powerful it becomes in our consciousness, and everything we	bring to boar upon it.	We	sing of
the Spoken Word of Sod. What	is the	Spoken Work of God?	Tf I should
ask you now, what is the Sp oken Work of God, what would bo your answer? Uns. "I Am, is the Spoken Word of God.” That is about the best answer you can give,	if you	wore speaking in	the inner
consciousness. There must be	before	the Word becomes	a	reality to
you, there must be an inner consciousness of the Spirit. Jesus is our best example of that one who demonstrated the Power of the Word. He said, "Heaven and Earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away." In that instance he was speaking of His within. But in another case He said "The Words that T speak are not mine, but the Father dwelling in me." This would indicate that; he had a realization of the Power of God dwelling in Him. Back of this must have been a fuller realization of I Am; of what T Am is. He must have known about the man that God created in the beginning through the Power of His Word. God said, "Let us make man in our image and likeness." If God is the Word of man, he must have put His Word in creation. God is the one source of all, God is Spirit, and it must be that all things that express itself in the universe is God; in other words it is God's Expression. Why then, is not all the words we speak not God's creation? Because we do not speak the truth, and this ignorant state of consciousness crystallizes in its form, and makes a material thought atmosphere about us, and being inbued with the ignorant world, builds up a world based upon ignorance. This becomes a world of consciousness. We fail clear over into the
error side, and forget all about the Spirit, then our words are not true at all.
But just as fast as wo have the understanding, we are Spiritual Beings. There is within us a Spiritual mind, a Spiritual body and a Spiritual Voice, yes, I was going to say, a Spiritual tongue and mouth, and all the necessary organs required in speaking words, and when all these Spiritual organs are put into use, man's word will become Sod's Word. We can then say, "Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
First, we must know the truth, that I Am is the truth, that I Am is the spoken Word of Sod, then speak only the words that you know belong to divine mine. We say, "Sod gives life, the spoken Word of life." Sod does not know anything less than life. Omnipresent life. All Powerful Life, Fullness of Life. Then if we want power of mouth and tongue and larynx, and all these things that make the Word Spirit, carry the idea and speak only these words, the Omnipresence of Life, and never take into our consciousness for a moment there can be any absence of life.
People ask of metaphysicians, "What becomes of people who die," and if insane? enough, they try to describe conditions. Sod does not know anything about people that are not alive. The Fullness of Life includes. Spirit, Soul and Body, and as a metaphysical proposition, you have nothing to do with any body our any thing but Omnipresent Life. So with Power, Sod is the spoken Word of Power.
Our men of science tell us that there is in a single 15/1000 of a square inch, enough power to run this universe forty millions of years. I read that in a book the other day. Yet, we look around and think and say, if I only had more Power.
The time is coming when we are gping to harness up this power, and do away with the power of steam and electricity. If power is

nero in such large quantities. why should we not take a4vantaee of it? Che day is coming when we will take advantage of those currents, whioh is flowing every where. We are told that energy y here.	We	will juat aet up the iattery> an4

aev-r speak of anything less than All Power.
If there seems to be anything lass than that, put it aside. Say.

several times, before the walls fell down. If we resist in speaking the word it will prevail. "Heaven and earth will pass away, but my Word will not pass away’’ "“oaven and earth will pass away, but the living - true word will prevail.
I know some people who have been speaking words of Truth for 21 years, and those words some of them, have not come into expression until very recently, yet they do not get discouraged.
They had faith in the principle, through the Spiritual understanding there was a Spiritual Word, and they persisted in speaking the word day after day. People said "your word will not prevail.", but the Spirit within said "Ho, speak the words and you will reap the harvest.
The harvest is coming, part of it is already here, and those people can see more and more.
A man said to me the other day, "I am down and out, I cant get a position. Wherever I go, they say, 'We want young people, whom we can train." I told him "You don't believe in prosperity."
He said,"Yes I do, I believe in x'rosperity. I have come here several times, and have spoken tho words and held the thought." I said,
Everytime you get intoa tight place?" -------1 ask him what thoughts
he had been holding, and he did not give me a singlo clue to the Spiritual words which he said he had been holding. I told him,
"The fact is you have been wondering around on the outside. Your extremity is God’s only opportunity. The only way for you to true prosperity comes from the Spirit, every man must do that."
A certain man connected with the financial world, told me that in 20 years 92 per cent of all the business men fail. Only 8 per cent are successful. Why do 92 per cent fail? It is because they are not doing business on the ri ht basis. They are not proclaiming that their business is God's business. If they wore,
92 per cent would not fail. Any business man who fails must
be' doing business on his own account. Men that fail are evidently 5 not in the Spirit. Sod's success must be the spoken word of success for all people, and there must be no other success with it. All other systems of the world will crumble away. Let us remember that, and begin our training right now.
This man said to me,"How long will it take me to be successful, if I am true." I said,"it may be five minutes, five years or five hundred years. If you are roa$Ly true to the 77ord of Sod, speak the Word of Sod with the inner conviction, it may be atonce, you will become to reap. It will be better for you in the end, any way, than try some artificial way to get prosperity." Then lay hold of the truth right now. It is like a principle of mathematics.
A man may be doing business, and say, two and two are 6, instead of four. Can you expect that man will succeed in keeping correct accounts? Certainly not. Let us begin right now, a foundation for the whole world. We are	the only people that	are	going to	take
possession of the earth.	We are told that the	law	of Jesus	Christ
will encompass the whole	earth,- to Him every	knee will bend. It is
true because it is based	upon the principle.	The	absolute	truth
must go forth. It must be among those who are to take possession of the earth. It does not mean that we are going to drive anybody else out, but it is true that only the students of Truth will only live. If you want to be a prince, get into line and bo true to the Spirit.
