Your Supreme Dominion,
Five
Make me no promise for when the father-in-law said to Jacob,
"What promise should I make you? " "Just tell me that the
offspring born in a certain manner shall be mine and no other promise, and no
wages and no salary, all the spotted ones are mine. There isn't a spotted one
among the parents but every offspring that is spotted though the parents are
not, that is mine. That's my wage and my righteousness shall know it for me in
time to come." And he begins to assume that his world is peopled with the
spotted calves, and everyone born that was healthy was born spotted. And he
increased beyond the wildest dream of a man.
Well, become that man, and start from the simple beginning as he started. There wasn't one thing in the world to encourage him that one calf could ever be born from parents that were not spotted and be a spotted calf. Yet he knew and he assumed that they had given birth to such things in numbers, they would come and they came a thousand fold. So in your case, maybe its business, maybe the doctors have given you a final, final verdict and it's fatal. Well, I say in spite of this, and the doctor in his own way is doing his best, he would not have said it to hurt you or to frighten you. He firmly believed it, but you have another law and your law is that you can assume, in spite of that verdict, that you are well. And then, though tomorrow and the next day the tree doesn't appear, know that in time your righteousness shall speak for you, and like Job in the midst of all the storms, when he should have gone to the grave, he held fast to the consciousness of already being what he wanted to be, that his heart may not in time speak harshly against him. Well, it didn't - you know the story.
And so, all through we are told, "Break off the sins, break off missing marks by righteousness. Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled."
Now you are told, "Seek first thekingdom of God kingdom of God
So, here, today when you return read the whole chapter. It's beautiful. But I started with the 27th verse, "And God made man in his own image, in the image of God made He him. Male and female made He them." Then comes what is to be done. Then comes the promise if you do it. Then comes the judgment, "It is good and very good." So you start knowing that you are the earth on which you now start to labor. If you do it, you shall be fruitful, and you will multiply, and you actually replenish this world, though it seemingly is barren you replenish it, if you subdue it. And the earth is self to be subdued, not by beating self as some people have misunderstood, not by isolating the self in some little secluded spot, not by running away from life, but in the midst of life is the opportunity to become meek: to take the violence that is man, it is individual man, and then bring it into the state of the meek, to transcend the violence by not fighting against conditions; know that conditions can only reflect what is within the one who observes that condition. So don't rage against it; leave it just as it is. If conditions remain the same, that is a sure, sure sign that you have not been faithful to righteousness.
Had you been faithful to the consciousness of already being the man you want to be, conditions would have to change in harmony with that righteousness. So don't rage against it; leave it as it is, and start today to take this wonderful earth, which is the foot stool of the Lord, which really is the mind of man, and start really to work upon it. Then you will not turn from left to right; you will keep the narrow path. You will go out knowing you can do it.
