Joseph Benner

We know that finances are becoming a real problem with many these days, and because of the necessity of all followers of Jesus Christ preparing themselves for possibly even worse conditions than those now confronting them, it is most important that all learn the law which if obeyed will enable them to rise out of these conditions and out of all conditions of lack, limitation, inharmony, disease and unhappiness that later may manifest.

You ask if this is really possible, and if there is a law which if obeyed will enable one to accomplish all that.

We say emphatically, there is such a law, and that you can be free from the fear and dominance of money, that you can have an abundance of all good things, that you can be well and happy, and can bring about an adjustment into perfect harmony of all departments of your lifeif you want these things enough to make yourself obey this law.

You say that you would do anything to obtain such wonderful blessings, if it is humanly possible and you are able to do what is required.

It is not only possible, but everyone who is filled with such a desire can do it. For know a great truth,that is just why you are placed or permitted to be in such unhappy conditions by your Higher Selfso that you can seek and gain the knowledge, the power and the ability to control them, in order to free yourself forever from them and to assume your true place in life, and therein receive the heritage of good that is waiting to deliver itself to you, whenever you become wise and strong enough to claim it and use it for the good of others and not for selfish ends.

First know that it is all a matter of consciousness, and that you, yourself alone, are to blame for these conditions; for you alone created them and are firmly holding them in your consciousnessor they would not be so plainly manifesting. All this was taught by the Master in His words, As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.

We know that you have heard this stated perhaps many times before, and so often that it may have become an old story. Some of you have tried to prove it and to rid your consciousness of all your negative thoughts; but because it took determined and persistent effort you soon grew tired, on account of the strong opposition met with, and you then dropped back into the current of the old conditions and if anything became more helpless than you were before.

Others may have heard of the saying, but it did not impress them; for they could not accept the assertion that all of the present inharmonies in their lives are the result of their own beliefs, or of their past thinking crystallized into beliefs. They preferred to blame it all on someone else, and even God came in for a share of the blame.

The main trouble with almost everyone is that they do not realize how many negative and destructive beliefs they are carrying around with them in the subconscious realms of mind and which creep through into the conscious mind whenever it is free from interest in other things.

Until you can begin to study your mind and watch for and note these negative beliefs when they comeand you will find that they are actually beliefsand refuse them admittance, there is not much hope for you.

In fact it is the first thing you must learn to do. Those who are too mentally lazy to do such watching and controlling of their thoughts, are usually the ones who will not accept that their own thinking and beliefs create for them all of the conditions now manifesting in their lives.

But it makes no difference whether any accept it as being trueit is the law.

So this is the ultimatum that you are facing. You have now come to the place where God holds out His hand to you, and says,

My child, I have brought you to this place where I would help you. But it means that you must give yourself and all your ideas over wholly to Me, must learn to think only My thoughts, speak only what I would say, and do only what I impel you to do. It means that you must not let into your mind or believe any other thoughts, no matter what appearances are or how much such thoughts beg for admittance.

You have had your chance and you see what a sorry mess you have made of things. Now if you are willing utterly and completely to trust Me, and to wait upon and serve Me only, and will keep your mind and heart clean and empty of all untrue thoughts so that I can fill them with My thoughts, I will inspire in you the ideas that will lift you quickly out of your present consciousnesswhich means out of present conditionsinto one where peace, harmony and plenty will be your mental children, that will ever come to you to he fed with loving trust in Me, confidence in your power to express Me, and with the pure joy of living, that you will then be feeling as the natural and continuous state of your consciousness.

Is this worth trying for? Do you really want it?

Then what are you going to do about it?

If you are willing to make a supreme effort and to put all the force of your will into it; will make yourself a positive center of your Fathers Will, looking only and always to Him to guide and inspire you, you will truly receive all the help you need, and will find, if you persist despite the first few discouragements that may come to test your determination, that you will then walk straight into the good that has long been waiting for you.

You can do it, you must do itif you would have the blessings which He promises you, and which we promise you above where we say that you can have an abundance of all good things and that you can be free from the dominance of money forever.

And what must you do? You must not be anxious or worry anymore about what you shall eat or drink or what you shall wear, for your loving Father knows that you must have all of these things. But if you will seek first His Kingdomthat is, His Consciousness, where you must think only His thoughts for youas we have above shown you how, and then will do what He tells you to do when He puts His thoughts into your mind, He will provide you with all the good things He has had in store for you from the beginning.

We know that we are telling you to do what now seems almost impossible. But, dear friend, this is the only way to win these blessings; and you say you will do anything to obtain them, if it is humanly possible.

It is not only possible, but it is the very thing ordained and intended for you by your Higher Selfor He would not have brought you this message and have placed this ultimatum so squarely before you.

You have tried your way, and you have tried the worlds way, and you know where they have brought you. And now you are given the opportunity of trying Gods way; the way laid out for you in the beginning. Can you not see that it is now the only way for you?

Thus God brings His children that love Him finally to realize that they cannot serve both God and Mammon. For they must he shown that they are serving Mammon just as much by fearing him and yielding to the power of money, as they would be by openly worshiping money and becoming its slave when having great quantities of it. They must be made to see that by fearing moneys power they are making it first and God second in their lives, and until they truly want to serve God more than any other thing, and
