The Spiritual attitude towards money is to know that God is Man's supply, and that he draws it from the abundance of the spheres, through his faith and spoken word.
When man realizes this he loses all greed for money, and is fearless in letting it go out.
With his magic purse of the Spirit, his supply is endless and immediate, and he knows also that giving precedes receiving.
For example: A woman came to me asking me to speak the word for five hundred dollars by the first of August. (It was then about the first of July.)
I knew her very well, and said: "The trouble with you is you don't give enough. You must open your channels of supply by giving.
She had accepted an invitation to visit a friend and did not want to go on account of the formality.
She said, "Please treat me to be polite for three weeks, and I want to get away as soon as possible, and be sure to speak the word for the five hundred dollars."
She went to the friend's house, was unhappy and restless and tried continually to leave, but was always persuaded to stay longer.
She remembered my advice, however, and gave the people about her presents. Whenever possible she made a gift.
It was nearing the first of August and no signs of the five hundred dollars, and no way of escape from the visit.
The last day of July she said: "Oh God! maybe I haven't given enough!" So she tipped all the servants more than she had intended.
The first of August, her hostess said to her: "My dear, I want to make you a gift," and she handed her a check for five hundred dollars!
God works in unexpected ways his wonders to perform.
It is your magic wand, for your word is God in action.
"It shall not return void but shall accomplish that whereunto it is sent."
"But I say, have they not heard? Yes, verily, their sound went into all the earth and their words unto the end of the world."
