and　preceded　by　his　shield…bearer；　saw　the　unarmed；　
unprotected　Israelite　youth　approaching；　he　was　infuriated。　He　
said　to　David；　〃Come　to　me　and　I　will　give　thy　flesh　unto　the　
fowls　of　the　air　and　to　the　beasts　of　the　field。〃　Young　David；　
however；　never　one　to　be　intimidated；　answered　the　giant　
saying；　〃Thou　comest　to　me　with　a　sword　and　with　a　spear；　
and　with　a　shield；　but　I　come　to　thee　in　the　name　of　the　Lord　
of　hosts；　the　God　of　the　armies　of　Israel　whom　thou　has　defied。　
This　day　will　the　Lord　deliver　thee　into　mine　hands。〃　While　the　
giant　Goliath　placed　his　faith　in　physical　objects　like　armor；　
swords　and　shields；　David　placed　his　solely　in　an　unseen　God。　
The　result…the　young　Israelite　shepherd　defeated　his　far　
mightier　foe！　With　nothing；　save　a　single　stone　from　his　sling；　
David　struck　Goliath；　and　the　giant　fell　lifeless　to　the　ground。　

By　accepting　the　principle　〃Let　Go　And　Let　God〃；　and　
believing　that　whatever　must　happen　for　you　to　reach　your　
goal；　will　happen…like　David…you　too　will　successfully　conquer　


the　〃giant〃　in　your　life　（i。e。　you　will　witness　the　physical　
manifestation　of　your　image；　and　in　the　proper　time）。　You　see；　
the　trouble　with　those　of　us　who　fail　to　achieve　what　we　desire；　
is　not　that　we　lack　the　ability　to　do　so；　but　that　we　lack　the　
faith　implicit　in　the　〃Let　Go　And　Let　God〃　principle；　which　
dictates　whatever　is　necessary　for　us　to　reach　our　goal　will　
indeed　occur。　

We　do　not　believe　we　can　simply　tap　into　the　great　
spiritual　reservoir　that　lies　within　us；　to　make　connection　with　
divinity；　all…supply；　or　whatever　else　you　wish　to　call　that　
power　which　sustains　each　one　of　us。　However；　if　you　fail　to　
make　this　connection　in　your　own　mind；　or　if　you　lack　the　
divine　self…confidence　born　of　faith　in　omnipotence；　you　will　
never　be　what　you　long　to　be；　or　have　what　you　rightly　deserve　
to　have。　All　of　your　prayers　will　return　to　you　unanswered；　
your　best　efforts　will　bear　no　fruit　and　your　negative　attitudes　
will　thwart　the　realization　of　your　goal。　

A　mind　〃saturated〃　with　fear　of　failure　or　images　of　
unwanted　results；　can　no　more　accomplish；　create；　or　produce　
anything　of　value；　than　a　stone　can　violate　the　law　of　gravity　
by　flying　upwards　in　the　air。　You　must　realize　the　creator　does　
not　alter　the　law　of　gravity　to　accommodate　a　person　who　
walks　off　the　roof　of　a　house。　（Even　though　the　person　may　do　
it　unconsciously　or　in　a　drugged　state。）　Similarly；　the　creative　
principle　of　the　law　of　achievement　cannot　be　violated　with　
impunity。　Therefore；　you　will　achieve　what　you　desire；　be　what　
you　long　to　be；　only　when　you　become　obedient　to　that　
inexorable　law　of　life。　

To　recapitulate　…　the　first　step　in　the　creative　process　is　to　
relax　and　see　yourself　already　in　possession　of　the　good　that　
you　desire。　（Build　the　image。）　The　second　step　is　to…Let　Go　And　
Let　God。　

In　working　with　Spirit；　it　helps　to　focus　on　the　truth　that　
Spirit　is　in　all　places　at　all　times。　Since　this　is　so；　it　follows　
that　you　possess　the　godlike　ability　to　tap　into　positive　
thoughts　anytime　you　wish　and　anywhere　you　choose。　


Moreover；　once　you　become　aware　of　your　kinship　with　the　
creative　power；　that　you　are　in　truth　a　child　of　spirit；　you　
cannot　possibly　be　anything　other　than　positive；　forceful；　
radiant　and　self…reliant　in　your　dealings　with　the　world　（a　
conqueror　of　those　forces　which　would　attempt　to　drag　you　
down　or　hold　you　back）。　Once　this　happens；　all　the　forces　in　
the　universe　will　come　together　to　help　you　reach　your　goal　or　
the　manifestation　of　your　Image。　Finally；　gaining　the　
understanding　that　you　are　made　in　the　image　of　the　creator　of　
the　universe…and　are　a　living　part　of　eternal　spirit…will　
ultimately　transform　the　results　that　you　are　achieving　in　your　
life；　every　day。　

Another　thing　you　should　know　about　Spirit　is　that　it　is　a　
power　which　is　forever　flowing　into　and　through　you　（we　also　
call　this　power　〃thought〃）。　But　as　Spirit　or　thought　flows　into　
you；　you　choose　the　image　you　will　then　form　with　it。　
Experiment　for　yourself…sit　back；　relax　and　then　become　fully　
aware　of　this　great　creative　capacity。　You　can　actually　form　
one　image　or　picture；　after　another；　on　the　screen　of　your　
mind　（images　of　things　which　already　exist　physically；　like　
your　car；　your　home；　your　place　of　business；　or　images　of　
things　that　do　not　yet　exist…such　as　your　short…term　and　long…
term　goals）。　

But　the　point　I　want　to　impress　upon　you　now；　is　that　
although　Spirit　is　the　very　essence　of　your　being；　it　will　never　
move　into　form　or　into　an　image；　without　your　assistance。　So　
those　people　who　sit　back　and　do　nothing；　saying；　〃God　will　
look　after　me；〃　are　just　fooling　themselves。　For　since　it　is　true　
that　God　helps　only　those　who　first　help　themselves；　it　follows　
that　you　must　always　do　your　part　to　start　the　creative　process　
in　motion。　You　must　always　build　the　image　and　know　in　your　
heart　the　image　will　materialize。　You　must　come　to　look　upon　
God　as　being　a　great　unseen　provider　who　inhabits　every　fibre　
of　your　being　and　you　must　also　understand　that　the　instant　
you　form　the　image　in　your　mind；　God　will　go　to　work　in　God's　
Perfect　Way　and　move　you　into　an　entirely　new　vibration　（i。e。　
you　will　begin　to　feel　differently）。　So　always　remember；　the　new　


feeling　coming　over　you　is　really　God　at　work　and　although　
you　may　sometimes　express　your　elation　by　saying　you　feel　
enthusiastic；　remember　that　the　word　Enthusiasm　is　just　a　
derivation　from　the　early　Greek…〃en　theos〃…meaning　in　God。　

Your　enthusiastic　attitude　will；　in　turn；　cause　your　
actions　to　change　and　you　will　start　behaving　differently。　
Moreover；　not　only　will　you　begin　to　act　differently　yourself；　
but　because　of　the　new　vibration　you　are　in；　you　will　begin　to　
gravitate　toward；　and　to　attract　to　you；　other　like…minded　
people。　Strange　and　wonderful　things　will　begin　to　happen　to　
you　and　with　such　regularity　that　you　will　be　at　a　loss　to　
explain　or　even　to　comprehend　what　is　going　on…so　〃don't　even　
make　the　attempt。〃　Just　understand　it　is　〃God's　Way；〃　or　〃The　
Way　of　the　Creative　Force；〃　and　accept　the　good　as　it　comes　
and　expect　more　of　the　same　in　the　future。　

The　skeptics　will　begin　to　say　you　are　just　lucky；　and　you　
should　let　it　go　at　that。　For　as　long　as　you　continue　to　hold　the　
image　in　your　mind　of　the　good　you　desire；　you　will　always　be　
rewarded。　Just　have　faith　that　what　should　happen　must　
happen；　and　in　the　right　time；　it　will　happen。　Always　
remember　that；　the　image　which　you　keep　affirming　in　your　
heart　or　your　subconscious　mind　is　being　impressed　upon　
Spirit；　and　Spirit　has　the　ability　to　convert　your　present　
dreams　into　your　future　reality。　

On　the　surface；　it　might　appear；　from　time　to　time；　that　
things　are　not　going　well　and　you　may　begin　to　worry　you　are　
moving　in　the　wrong　direction。　But　let　me　assure　you；　this　will　
not　be　the　case；　as　long　as　you　keep　the　image　of　the　good　you　
desire　firmly　planted　in　your　subconscious　mind。　For　if　you　do　
this；　you　will　continue　to　move　in　the　only　direction　in　which　
you　can　move；　in　order　to　get　to　where　you　want　to　go。　

Don't　forget；　it　is　never　sufficient　to　believe　in　yourself　
（that　part　of　you　which　God　created　in　His　image）　only　when　
you　feel　particularly　enthusiastic　or　when　some　particular　
good　fortune　has　befallen　you。　It　is　never　adequate　to　have　
FAITH　sporadically；　to　get　enthusiastic　over　your　prospects　


and　then　to　undermine　all　of　your　mental　kingdom。　It　won't　do　
to　keep　dropping　down；　again　and　again；　like　the　frog　trying　to　
get　out　of　a　well；　but　is　feeling　weaker　and　more　discouraged　
after　each　fall。　Any　person　who　starts　that　type　of　process　in　
motion；　is　letting　go　of　his　Image　of　Prosperity　and　is　using　his　
creative　powers　to　build　images　of　poverty　instead。　

And　as　we　have　already　said；　God；　being　a　just　God；　will　
always　work　to　bring　about　your　ultimate　good。　But　always　
bear　in　mind　it　is　your　innermost　thoughts　and　images　you　are　
requesting；　not　the　words　to　which　you　might　only　be　paying　
lip…service。　Therefore；　make　it　a　habit　to　begin　and　end　each　
day　with　A　Declaration　of　Faith　in　yourself　（created　after　God's　
image）；　and　in　His　power　（whatever　you　choose　to　call　it）。　
Guard　this　faith　zealously；　as　you　would　your　most　precious　
possession　and　ensure　that　it　never　be　imperiled　by　weak；　
downhearted　and　negative　thoughts。　

Doubts；　fears；　pessimism；　and　negative　thinking　poison　
the　very　source　of　life。　They　sap　energy；　enthusiasm；　ambition；　
hope；　faith　and　everything　else　which　makes　life　purposeful；　
joyful　and　creative。　You　must　consciously　entertain　only　the　
mental　allies　of　your　ambition　and　those　attributes　which　will　
help　you　realize　the　manifestation　of　your　goal。　For　when　you　
are　firmly　grounded　in　Faith；　negative　thoughts　will　have　no　
power　over　you；　because　they　will　not　be　in　harmonious　
vibration　with　your　new　image。　You　will　be　mentally　strong　
through　the　conscious　awareness　of　God's　power　within　you。　

When　Times　Get　Tough　

When　things　get　tough　you　must　get　tougher　and　you　
can。
