The Comforter (Helper) even the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things. John 14:26.

And I will put my Spirit in you, and ye shall live. Ezek. 37:14.

I will pour forth of my Spirit upon all flesh.

Acts 2:17.

It has always been "upon" you, around you and through you. From it you have drawn, though unconsciously, all the power that you have used in your senses, your intellect, in every way. But your eyes have been closed and you have not seen the greater possibilities. In the midst of plenty—enough for every need, every aim—you have not had sufficient understanding to open your eyes and take possession. Finally something awakens you it is often sorrow and then you see the Truth, that this, in which you live, move, and have your being, is the seat of all Power, "the very present Help," the inexhaustible treasury of Good. Then you hasten to put yourself in harmony with it by right thinking, humility and faith, and as understanding grows you give yourself up to it, finally losing yourself and becoming one with this ever present Good.

For it is God who worketh in you both to will and to work, for his good pleasure. Phil. 2:13.

(Ye) are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone; in whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto a holy temple in the Lord: In whom ye also are builded together for a habitation of God through the Spirit. Eph. 2:20-22.

Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.

2 Cor. 3:17. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us. 1 John 3:24.

Isa. 51:16.

I have put my words in thy mouth. It is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you. Matt. 10:20.

It is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the 1 John 5:7.

Spirit is the truth.

The testimony of the material senses is false.

Silence it by the Truth.

For the Holy Spirit shall teach you in that very hour what ye ought to say. Luke 12:12.

Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, Zech. 4:6.

saith Jehovah of hosts.

For no prophecy ever came by the will of man: but men spake from God, being moved by the Holy Spirit. 2 Pet. 1:21.

And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. Acts 2:4.

It is the Spirit that giveth life; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I have spoken unto you are Spirit, and are life. John 6:63.

The thoughts that spring up within us as we gain an understanding of Christ's words of Truth, make us anew in body and mind.

Likewise, the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities. Rom. 8:26.

But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwelleth in you, he that raised up Christ Jesus from the dead shall give life also to your mortal bodies because of his Spirit that dwelleth in you. Rom. 8:11.

Ye have an anointing from the Holy One, and ye know all things. 1 John 2:20.

The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long suffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, meekness, self-control. Gal, 5:22.

For this commandment which I command thee this day, it is not too hard for thee, neither is it far off. It is not in heaven, that thou shouldst say, Who shall go up for us to heaven, and bring it unto us, and make us to hear it, that we may do it? Neither is it beyond the sea, that thou shouldst say, who shall go over the sea for us, and bring it unto us, and make us to hear it, that we may do it? But the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it. Deut. 30:11-14. And God created man in his own image. In the image of God created he him. Gen. 1:27.

Man is the child of God. He is upright, (Eccl. 7:29) good, (1 John 3:9-10, Gen 1:31) beautiful, (Eccl. 3:11) perfect, (Deut. 32:4) spiritual (Job 33: 4) and eternal, (Eccl. 3:14) the image and likeness of his Creator. Authority is granted to him over himself and everything else (last clause Isa. 45:11; Ps. 8:6-8; Heb. 2:7-8) and he becomes a responsible being, accountable to God. He has explicit directions, (Prov. 6:23) and everything needful is divinely assured him (Phil. 4:19) to help him to live the Perfect Life—everything except Desire and Faith, these must come from him and these he must use. Visible man, the sick and sinning mortal, is one whose first and greatest desire was to play awhile with the things of the material world. Becoming absorbed in the game, his real life and its belongings have been forgotten, and the belief has possession of him that the game and the playthings are all there is to life. The result of this false belief is a decaying, dying body of flesh, stinging with desires that destroy. Often mortal man grows tired of this which he calls "Life," for pain follows closer and closer upon the heels of each pleasure, and nothing is left that satisfies. He is sick, disappointed, forsaken, and he envies the swine their food. He wishes to die. Often out of the depths of such misery comes a cry for help. Truth answers and calls the man by his right name, assuring him that this experience which he has just been through is not real, it is but the game that he has been playing, that his belief in it and his devotion to it have caus
