Faith is Attitude

Faith is most certainly a mental attitude. Now you may disagree. A person approached Jesus and from the inspiration of the moment, exclaimed, “I believe!” This was a simple, sincere, and enthusiastic response to the consciousness of one who had faith. But no sooner had he exclaimed, “I believe!” out of the enthusiasm of his will to believe, than old thought patterns arose to block his faith and he said, “Help thou mine unbelief.”

Faith is more than an objective statement. Perfect faith cannot exist while there are subjective contradictions that deny the affirmation of your words and thoughts. It is only when the intellect is no longer obstructed by negative emotional reactions arising out of the experiences of doubt and fear that the word of the mouth can immediately bear fruit. As long as we cling to the identity of self and to the idea of fear, which both are actually illusions in our mind and in our true existence in the Life of God; we will never have Perfect faith. Be childlike in your faith.

Affirmation: I believe with a deep, inward calm that my word of faith is the execution of spiritual Law in my life. I have absolute reliance upon the Law of Good (God). I believe that the Law of Good (God) will bring everything desirable into my experience. Today I proclaim my Divine inheritance. I am blessed with the richness of God; I am strong with the power of God; I am guided by the wisdom of God. I am held in the goodness of God, today. As Jesus said to do, I ask that only Good and Perfect things be made manifest in my life this day; love, joy, peace, happiness, good health, wealth, prosperity, wisdom, understanding, compassion, generosity, money and perfect faith.
