The Spiritual Writings Of Annie Rix Militz. Annie Rix Militz

      Trust the will of God that it works you good and good only. Then you will not be paralyzed in your prayers you will not stop in your praying you will pray and not faint, just as Jesus gave directions (Luke 18:1).

      Persistency in prayer is prevailing with God. Speak the word of God the word of believing that ye have received in season and out of season. Let no doubt rebuff you. Let no word of Scripture, of the Angel of the Lord, yea, the very Christ himself, discourage you or cause you to move away from your faith that God is with you and Good is for you. Remember how Jacob would not let the Angel of the Lord go from him until he blessed him (Gen. 32:26). Remember how the Syro-Phoenician woman would not take "No" to her prayers, though it would seem as though Jesus himself wrestled with her (Mark 7:26; Matt. 15:21-28).

      God loves you to trust in His goodness. "Prove me now," He says continually. "Prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of Hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it." Mal. 3:10.

      We trust God not only as our physician, but as our banker, our defender, as our husband, our father, cur all in all; therefore we do not acknowledge anything or anyone as our support but God. Wherever we have said "healing" and "health," we know it to mean the same as saving and salvation, or redemption these are all one in God.

      This is the prayer of faith that heals the sick: to know God, to trust the goodness of God, to believe in the mercy, the indulgence of God, who gives good always and forever, and never withholds any good that his child asks. And then we must be constant in this knowledge and not let our senses argue us off our base, or circumstances move us to doubt the presence of God, but to believe despite everything to the contrary. According to your faith it shall be done unto you. "If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you." John 15:7.

      Practice concentrating all your faith in God, Good, Health, Life, Prosperity.

      When doubts, or fears, or discouragement creep into the mind, remember it is a trial of faith. Stand firm. Declare the power of God. Assert your divine nature, that there is no fear in you. There is no cause for doubt and discouragement, ever, in God's world. Your mind is fixed and centered upon the Almighty Good whose changeless will is to establish the Kingdom of Heaven in man's heart and upon the earth. It is the will of your God that you shall manifest health, long life, prosperity, and perfect happiness through living a sinless, loving, unselfish life.

      Trust God to the uttermost, as you would an earthly lover who would move Heaven and earth to bless you and set you free from pain and misery.

      Practice the constant silent prayer of thanksgiving and acknowledgment that all the good your heart is desiring is now come to pass.

      THE LORD'S PRAYER.

      Affirmed as one prays who believes that already he has received.

      Our Father who art in heaven,

      Hallowed is Thy name;

      Thy kingdom is come,

      Thy will is done in earth, as it is in heaven.

      Thou dost give us this day, our daily bread ;

      Thou dost forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors;

      Thou dost lead us, not into temptation, but dost deliver us from evil.

      For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever.

      IT is so.
