All the power in the universe is God-power and humanity is the power of God in action. The mind, body, and especially the spoken word have power to transform energy from one plane of consciousness to another. This is the power and dominion that was implanted in humanity since the beginning of time. Charles Fillmore said that our “power center” was in our throat, and that the words we speak are charged with power. Words are what connects the formless and the formed worlds. Jesus said the words he spoke were Spirit (formless) and Life (formed) and they went forth to do what they were sent to do.”

God spoke the universe into existence. First was the thought, and when it was combined with the vibration of the spoken word manifestation resulted. Even if we don’t consciously recognize it, we are doing the same thing every day of our lives. We are ever co-creating our own world with our words.  Science has now proven that every word man utters makes an imprint in the astral ethers. When there is an awareness of God-life & energy in the mind of the speaker, all one’s words become living identities and are sent forth in the invisible ethers to shape and form the substance of the universe. Therefore, when facing the appearance of lack, speak words of prosperity whether for finances, health, joy or love in our lives. Take on the feelings and emotions that you would have had it already been done. Because it is just a word away from being made manifest in your reality. .

“Power is released by merely stating words of life, health, vitality. The body can be renewed, even transformed through the spoken word. Owing to the vibratory power of words, whatever man decrees, that he releases within himself and within his world.”

Catherine Ponder, The Healing Secrets of the Ages

“As we realize we are God’s children, that we have power and authority to think and speak the good and true and to have it manifest in harmonious relations and pleasant surroundings, we no longer invite or submit to inharmony, misunderstandings or limitations.”

Myrtle Fillmore, How to Let God Help You

“The command is: Go to every nation and preach the gospel. Man should apply the power of the word to his individual redemption, and he should speak the redeeming word of Spirit to the multitudinous thought people of his own soul and body.”                          Charles Fillmore, The Twelve Powers of Man

Ideas for practice:

Think of a time when you may have felt powerless and take time to observe where the feeling showed up in your body. When we allow the feelings to be there as pure feelings without thoughts, and without resisting them, we often remove the energy from them. Catherine Ponder reminds us that when we feel powerless it is just a feeling and to remind yourself that strong, firmly held thoughts in your mind actually change your body’s chemistry.

There is a mighty power stored up in the atoms and cells of the body awaiting liberation. Concentrating upon the word “power’ helps to liberate this mighty force, so that it may do its perfect work in the mind and body of man. Speaking it out loud to yourself in a mirror will help you feel how powerful you are. Try using, “Prosperity is now mine.” Can you feel the power?
