Within you is an inexhaustible source of power, if you can but contact it. That power can heal you, and it can inspire you by telling you what to do and how to do it. It can give you peace of mind, and , above all, it can give you direct knowledge of God. That power is scientific prayer. There is no problem that prayer cannot overcome and no good thing that it cannot bring into your life.
This is the message of the whole Bible. It was summed up by Jesus when he said,
…the kingdom of God is within you (Luke 17:21).
This truth was dramatically illustrated by an incident in real life. The body of a tramp, clad in rags, was discovered near a lime kiln where he had evidently crept for warmth. After the autopsy his clothes were torn up to be put into the incinerator, and sewn into the lining of the trousers was a bank note for a large amount. Unquestionably the original owner of the suit had had it sewn in there for safety, and for some unknown reason lost track of it.
Consider the situation! This poor hobo had sat down many a time to lukewarm coffee – and all the time he was sitting on a thousand dollars. People may have plenty of money and yet be hoboes for health or happiness or spiritual experience. Riches do not become wealth until they are realized. Cash your bill at the Bank of Heaven and make it productive.
But my God shall supply all your need… (Philippians 4:19)
How many treasures do we hold hidden within, unused, unnoticed or unknown to us? The answer is all the treasures that exist. We are not poor, destitute beggars trying to squeak through a life devoid of value, resources or joy. Instead, God has freely given us everything the universe can offer for our happiness, fulfillment, peace and joy.
Yet we deny that we possess these gifts, we even deny the giver. We seek our own will and ignore the will and love of God. We struggle against problems great and small even while in possession of all power and might. Why? Because we either don’t believe, refuse to yield or fail to obey the nature, power or will of God within us.
This power is given by God to us, the creatures given dominion over all creation.
When we say God does not exist, or I don’t want to give God control or I just can’t obey God, we cut ourselves off from God’s infinite power and love.
When we accept God’s existence, give God control and obey God’s will, then all the hidden or unrecognized power of God flows through us into the material world. Then we will seek that which is good, find that which is good for us and live in the Eden created for us. Seek God; find power.
