Matthew 18:18-19 I promise you that God in heaven will allow whatever you allow on earth, but he will not allow you anything you don’t allow. I promise that when any two of you on earth agree about something you are praying for, my Father in heaven will do it for you.

An excerpt taken from The Power of the Subconscious Mind, Dr. Murphy says this scripture translates as the two meaning the conscious and subconscious minds. I like that!

I took this directly from the book. I was reading about solving a problem using my subconscious mind as I was falling back into old patterns. The key is to draw your picture, keep your mind on the picture or what you really want as the solution and then let it go; as you will read in this excerpt by Dr. Joseph Murphy. This is powerful stuff. This is only 2 pages of 172 pages of GREAT MATERIAL. At the bottom of this post is a link to where you can purchase this book.

“The principle reasons for failure are: Lack of confidence and too much effort. Many people block their answers to their prayers by failing to fully comprehend the workings of their subconscious mind. When you know how your mind functions, you gain a measure of confidence. You must remember whenever your subconscious mind accepts an idea; it immediately begins to execute it. It uses all its mighty resources to that end and mobilizes all the mental and spiritual laws of your deeper mind. This law is true for good or bad ideas. Consequently, if you use it negatively, it brings trouble, failure, and confusion. When you use it constructively, it brings guidance, freedom, and peace of mind.

The right answer is inevitable when your thoughts are positive, constructive, and loving. From this it is perfectly obvious that the only thing you have to do in order to overcome failure is to get your subconscious mind to accept your idea or request by feeling its reality now, and the law of your mind will do the rest. Turn over your request with faith and confidence, and your subconscious will take over and answer for you.

You will always fail to get results by trying to use mental coercion – your subconscious mind does not respond to coercion, it responds to your faith or conscious mind acceptance. Your failure to get results may also arise from such statements as: “Things are getting worse.” “I will never get an answer.” “I see no way out.” “It is hopeless.” “I don’t know what to do.” “I’m all mixed up.” When you use such statements, you get no response or co-operation from your subconscious mind.

Like a soldier marking time, you neither go forward nor backward; in other words, you don’t get anywhere. If you get into a taxi and give half dozen different directions to the driver in five minutes, he would become hopelessly confused and probably would refuse to take you anywhere. It is the same when working with your subconscious mind. there must be a clear-cut idea in your mind. You must arrive at the definite decision that there is a way out, a solution to the vexing problem in sickness. Only the infinite intelligence within your subconscious knows the answer. When you come to that clear cut conclusion in your conscious mind, your mind is then made up, and according to your belief is it done unto you.

A wonderful way to get a response from your subconscious mind is through disciplined or scientific imagination. As previously pointed out your mind is the builder of the body and controls all its vital functions.

The Bible says, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive. to believe is to accept something as true, or to live in the state of being it. As you sustain this mood, you shall experience the joy of the answered prayer!

3 steps to success in prayer:

1. Take a look at the problem
2. Turn to the solution or way out known only to the subconscious mind.
3. Rest in a sense of deep conviction that it is done.
Do not weaken your prayer by saying, “I wish I might be healed.” “I hope so.” Your feeling about the work to be done is “the boss.” Harmony is yours. Know that health is yours. Become intelligent by becoming a vehicle for the infinity healing power of the subconscious mind. Pass on the idea of health to your subconscious mind to the point of conviction; then relax. Get yourself off your hands. Say to the condition and circumstance, “This too shall pass.” Through relaxation you impress your subconscious mind enabling the kinetic energy behind the idea to take over and bring it into concrete realization.
