Weapons You Know Not Of - Florence Scovel Shinn

The following is an excerpt from The Power of the Spoken Word by Florence Scovel Shinn.


Weapons You Know Not Of

"I have weapons you know not of! I have ways you know not of! I have channels you know not of! Mysterious weapons, mysterious ways, mysterious channels!


God Works In Mysterious Ways
For God works in mysterious ways His wonders to perform." The trouble with most people is that they want to know the way and the channels beforehand.


Trust the Wisdom and Ingenuity of God
They want to tell the Supreme Intelligence just how their prayers should be answered. They do not trust the wisdom and ingenuity of God. They pray, giving Infinite Intelligence definite directions on how to work, thereby limiting the Holy One of Israel.


When You Pray, Believe You Have It
Jesus Christ said: "When you pray, believe you have it." What could be simpler or more direct? "Become as a little child if you would enter the kingdom." We might paraphrase the scriptures and say, have the expectancy of a little child, and your prayers will be answered. A child waits with joyful expectancy for their toys at Christmas. I give the illustration of a little boy who asked for a drum for Christmas. The child does not lie awake at night agonizing over their drum, wondering whether they will get it. They go to bed and sleep like a top. They jump out of bed in the morning, ready for the happy day before them. They look with wonder at what is before them.


God's Methods Are Sure
The grown-up person spends sleepless nights agonizing over their problem. Instead of a drum, they have asked for a large sum of money. They can't think of any way it can come, and will it come on time? They will tell you they have perfect faith in God, but they would like to know more about the channel and how it is to be done. The answer comes, "I have weapons you know not of." "My ways are ingenious; my methods are sure."


Intuition Is the Magic Path
"Trust in me, commit your ways unto me." Committing your ways unto the Lord seems very difficult to most people. It means, of course, to follow intuition, for intuition is the magic path, the beeline to your demonstration.

There Is No Loss In Divine Mind - Florence Scovel Shinn

Editor's Note:  The following is an excerpt from Your Word Is Your Wand  by Florence Scovel Shinn. Erase This False Belief If man loses anything it shows there is a belief of loss in his subconscious mind. As he erases this false belief, the article, or its equivalent will appear on the external. For example: A woman lost a silver pencil in a theater. She made every effort to find it but it was not returned. There Is No Loss In Divine Mind She denied loss, taking the affirmation: "I deny loss, there is no loss in Divine Mind, therefore I cannot lose that pencil. I will receive it or its equivalent." Several weeks elapsed. One day she was with a friend who wore about her neck on a cord, a beautiful gold pencil, who turned to her and said: "Do you want this pencil? I paid fifty dollars for it at Tiffany's." The woman was aghast, and replied (almost forgetting to thank her friend) "Oh! God aren't you wonderful! The silver pencil wasn't good enough ...

Practical Utility and Mystical Significance Salt has long been esteemed not only as a vital culinary ingredient but also as a powerful tool in spiritual and cultural rituals across ancient civilizations.
