A Prayer for the 3rd and 9th Affirmations
My first thought was to post this prayer in the Prayer for Prospering Times blog. However, I also decided to post it here because it has its roots in Prosperity’s 3rd Affirmation, “I Only Speak Words that Affirm Prosperity, Abundance and Wealth” and Prosperity’s 9th Affirmation,“I Honor, Glorify and Give Witness to the Truth about the Accessibility of the Source of My Wealth”.
Both of these affirmations affirm the power of speaking the truth. Prosperity’s 3rd Affirmation is based on the 3rd Commandment which commands that we not use God’s name inappropriately. When we speak in a way that proclaims lack and poverty as the truth of being, particularly when we associate them with “I am”, we are speaking against the nature of Spirit. When we are speaking the truth about prosperity and our access to God as the Source of prosperity we are proclaiming the Truth about God and the nature of God which is prosperity. Consider, Is the ocean a source of water or is it water? Does it make a difference in our thinking? We know that we can get water from the ocean. In either case the ocean is a physically accessible place where water is available. The actual source of water is probably more related to the principles involved in the combination of Hydrogen and Oxygen atoms in the proper proportions and conditions. Likewise the Source of Prosperity is more aligned with the laws and principles of being, thinking and acting. The point is that when we speak of prosperity or scarcity, we speak based on our belief in the accessibility of Prosperity. Prosperity is at hand and accessible through prayer, our connection with God. When we know that God is Prosperity and that God is accessible to God’s creation, we have embodied Prosperity’s 3rd Affirmation and we can confidently affirm the 9th.
Prosperity’s 9th Affirmation is based on the principle that we speak the truth and not bear false witness against our neighbor. This includes stating the truth that our neighbor has access to God’s bounty just as we do. When we verbally agree with another person’s proclamation of poverty for himself or others we are bearing false witness against him. It takes clarity and confidence in your own experience of prosperity before you can speak with authority to another about his or her true relationship with prosperity. If you feel you must verbally be non-committal, be assured that you can silently affirm prosperity for yourself and the person until you are empowered to inspire yourself and the other person with the right words to bless him or her with the truth about their access to prosperity.
Let Us Pray:
Our Father who dwells within the most intimate recesses of my mind, body and soul, I acknowledge Your power to heal, bless and prosper any situation or circumstance. I thank You, Father, for blessing me and those I love and I thank You for blessing everyone of whom I am conscious now or in the future. I accept Your blessings and I extend Your abundant blessings to others. With restored faith and renewed courage, I speak of Your love and prospering power. I speak of abundance and I deny lack. I am comfortable at the expanding boundaries of my experience of prosperity. Even though I may yet not see the abundance before me, I have faith that You are leading me to it and drawing it to me. I am prosperous! I am surrounded by abundance! And All Is Well!
Thank You God! Thank You God! Thank You God!
So it is, Amen!
Selah!
..so shall my word be that goes forth out of my mouth: it shall not return to me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. – Isaiah 55:11
A man’s stomach is filled with the fruit of his mouth. With the harvest of his lips he is satisfied. – Proverbs 18:20
