How wonderful would be our demonstrations! How effective we should become in using the mighty power of Spirit!
We must raise our faith to the very highest in us and rest in the "assurance" or substance of its reality. Spiritual understanding reveals the universality of all things.
The word, the imagination, and faith work together. You must not only practice an idea; you must also give it form by infusing into it the substance of your living faith.
If you want to do the works of God, you must follow Christ. If you want to elevate yourself out of the physical, you must have faith in God and cultivate that faith through affirmation of your spiritual power and faith. The Lord's Prayer is continual affirmation from beginning to end.
Our Relation to God
We must have the understanding that our relation to God is that of a son to his father; that we exist in the one Mind as superman, even Christ. Man is the offspring of the Almighty. If the earthly child resembles its parents, how much more should the heavenly child resemble its Parent. The truth that God is the Father of man does away with the presumption that it is impossible for the finite to understand the Infinite.
