I Have a Voice

by Hopeful Spirit on Sunday, January 10, 2010

Until we awake to the fact that we are One in nature with God, we shall not find the way of life. Until we real­ize that our own word has the power of life, we will not see clearly. The Bible points out that man has the same power, in his own life and in his own world, that it claims for God. ‘The Word was with God and the Word was God,’ is an oft-repeated but lit­tle under­stood state­ment. The promise to man is equally pos­i­tive: ‘The word is nigh thee, even in thine own mouth that thou shouldst know it and do it.’ If any word has power, it fol­lows that all words have power. It means that every word which we hear, speak or think, has some power.”

~~ Ernest Holmes, Prayer — How to Pray Effec­tively from The Sci­ence of Mind ~~

I love God and am so thank­ful He is in my life :) . Hope your week is won­der­ful and filled with prayer. It is good to know that God always hears our voice no mat­ter how small or tired or stressed!

The Word was God and the Word became flesh and dwelt among us. We must never for­get that the Word is Jesus. Jesus is God. Because of Him we have been given the power to become chil­dren of God.
Thank you for join­ing us for Spir­i­tual Sun­days.

Ernest Holmes was a wise man who under­stood the power of words because he under­stood the power of the sub­con­scious mind. This is one of his famous quotes.

That is deep, and that puts quite a bit of respon­si­bil­ity on us to be care­ful and thought­ful in all that we do, and speak. I like it,. I am going to print that out and put it on the mir­ror so I remem­ber every morning.

That’s a beau­ti­ful pho­to­graph. Thanks for shar­ing that AND the quote.

It is a pro­found and won­der­ful thought. What we do and say has a lot of power and makes a dif­fer­ence. The words that we hear in our own mind also helps us move for­ward in life and make other lives around us bet­ter and mean­ing­ful. Thank you for the quote and nice picture.
