extra supply was a new and increased manifestation of Divine Substance as bread and fish. So with the oil of Elisha, who was “a man with like passions as we.” In both these cases, nothing came from without to supply the need, but the supply proceeded from within outward.

This Divine Substance—call it God, Creative Energy, or whatever you will—is ever abiding within us, and stands ready today to manifest Itself in whatever form you and I need or wish to manifest, just as it did in Elisha’s time. It is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Our desire is the cup which shapes the form of Its coming, and our trust—the highest form of faith—sets the time and the degree. (Meditate on this until you get its real meaning.)

Abundant supply by the manifestation of the Father in us, from within outward, is as much a legitimate outcome of the Christ life or spiritual understanding as is bodily healing.

The Word—or Spirit—is made flesh (or clothed with materiality) in both cases, and both are equally in God’s order. The law of “work-to-earn” is only a schoolmaster beating us with many stripes, breaking us into many pieces when we fall across it in our failures, just to bring us to Christ. “But after that FAITH is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.” Then Christ—the Divine in us—becomes the fulfillment of the law.

“Labor not for the meat that perisheth,” said the Nazarene. Cease to work with the one object, viz., for a living, or for supply. Be forever free from the law of poverty and want, as you are from the law of sin and disease—through faith in Christ; that is, by taking the indwelling Christ, or Spirit, or invisible Man as your abundant supply, and, looking to no other source, hold it until it manifests itself as such. Recognize it. Reckon it. Be still and know it. Do not struggle and work and worry while you know it, but just be still. “Be still and know that I am”—what? Part of God? No. “Know that I am God”—all of God; Good, all of Good. I am Life. I am Health. I am Love. I am Supply. I am the Substance of all that human souls or bodies can need or want.
