"Your Word is Your Wand" by Florence Scovel Shinn, 1928.
A person's word is their wand—filled with magic and power!
Jesus emphasized the power of the word; "By thy words thou shalt be justified and by thy words thou shalt be condemned," and "death and life are in the power of the tongue." We have power to change an unhappy condition by waving over it the “Wand of our Word.” In the place of “sorrow” appears “joy”, in the place of “sickness” appears “wholeness”, in the place of “lack” appears “plenty”.
A woman came for a treatment for prosperity. She possessed just two dollars in the world. I said: "We bless the two dollars and know that you have the magic purse of the Spirit; it can never be depleted. As money goes out, money immediately comes in, under grace in perfect ways. I see it always crammed full, and jammed with money: Yellow checks, green checks, pink checks, blue checks, white checks, gold, silver and currency. I see it bulging with abundance!"
She replied: "I feel my bag heavy with money," and was so filled with faith that she gave me one of her dollars as a love offering. I did not dare refuse it and see lack for her, as it was important that I hold the picture of plenty. Shortly afterwards she was made a gift of six thousand dollars. Fearless faith and the spoken word brought it to pass.
The affirmation of the magic purse is very powerful, as it brings a vivid picture to the mind. It is impossible not to see your purse or wallet filled with money when using the words, "crammed, jammed." The imaging faculty is the creative faculty, and it is important to choose words which bring a flash of the fulfillment of the demand. There’s no need to force a picture by visualizing; let the Divine Idea flash into your conscious mind; then you are working according to the Divine Design. Jesus said: "The Truth shall make you free."
There are certain words or pictures which impress the subconscious mind. A man called asking me to speak the word for his right work. I gave him the statement: "Behold I have set before thee the open door of destiny and no man shall shut it!" It didn't seem to make much impression, so I was inspired to add: "And no man shall shut it for it is nailed back!" The man was electrified and went out walking on air. Within a few weeks he was called to a distant city to fill a wonderful position which came about in a miraculous way.
AFFIRMATIONS:
The decks are now cleared for Divine Action and my own comes to me under grace in a magical way.
My seeming impossible good now comes to pass, the unexpected now happens.
Divine order is established in my mind, body and affairs.
I let go of last year's worn-out conditions and things.
Behold, I make all things new right now.
