In the evening she ’phoned again, greatly excited and said, “My dear, a miracle has happened! I was sitting in my room this morning, when the doorbell rang. I said to the maid: ‘Don’t let anyone in.’ The maid however, looked out the window and said, ‘It’s your cousin with the long white beard.’ So I said, ‘Call him back. I would like to see him.’ He was just turning the corner, when he heard the maid’s voice, and _he came back_. He talked for about an hour, and just as he was leaving he said, ‘Oh, by the way, how are finances?’ I told him I needed the money, and he said, ‘Why, my dear, I will give you three thousand dollars the first of the month.’ I didn’t like to tell him I was going to be sued. What shall I do? I won’t _receive it till_ the first of the month, and I must have it tomorrow.” I said, “I’ll keep on ‘treating.’” I said, “Spirit is never too late. I give thanks she has received the money on the invisible plane and that it manifests on time.” The next morning her cousin called her up and said, “Come to my office this morning and I will give you the money.” That afternoon, she had three thousand dollars to her credit in the bank, and wrote checks as rapidly as her excitement would permit. If one asks for success and prepares for failure, he will get the situation he has prepared for. For example: A man came to me asking me to speak the word that a certain debt would be wiped out. I found he spent his time planning what he would say to the man when he did not pay his bill, thereby neutralizing my words. He should have seen himself paying the debt. We have a wonderful illustration of this in the bible, relating to the three kings who were in the desert, without water for their men and horses. They consulted the prophet Elisha, who gave them this astonishing message: “Thus saith the Lord—Ye shall not see wind, neither shall ye see rain, yet make this valley full of ditches.” Man must prepare for the thing he has asked for, _when there isn’t the slightest sign of it in sight_. For example: A woman found it necessary to look for an apartment during the year when there was a great shortage of apartments in New York. It was considered almost an impossibility, and her friends were sorry for her and said, “Isn’t it too bad, you’ll have to store your furniture and live in a hotel.” She replied, “_You needn’t feel sorry for me, I’m a superman, and I’ll get an apartment._” She spoke the words: “_Infinite Spirit, open the way for the right apartment._” She knew there was a supply for every demand, and that she was “unconditioned,” working on the spiritual plane, and that “one with God is a majority.”
