Your Word Is Your Wand

Sales

· 1 min read

A woman who lived in a country town wished to sell her house and furniture. It was in the winter with snow so deep it was almost impossible for cars or wagons to reach her door.

As she had asked God to sell her furniture to the right person for the right price she was unmindful of appearances.

She polished the furniture, pushed it into the middle of the room and prepared to sell it.

She said: “I never looked out of the window at the blizzard, I simply trusted God’s promises.”

Faith never looks out of the window at the blizzard, it simply prepares for the blessing asked for.

In miraculous ways people drove up and all the furniture was sold, and the house also, without paying any commission to an agent.

Faith never looks out of the window at the blizzard, it simply prepares for the blessing asked for.

AFFIRMATION

I give thanks that this article (or property) is now sold to the right person or persons for the right price, giving perfect satisfaction.

In brief

Faith does not watch appearances. Read the summaryHide the summary

Faith does not watch appearances. It gets ready for what it has asked for. Shinn tells of a woman in a country town who wants to sell her house and furniture in the dead of winter, with snow so deep that no car or wagon can reach her door. She has asked God to sell her goods to the right person for the right price, so she pays no attention to the weather. She polishes the furniture, moves it into the middle of the room and makes ready for buyers. She never looks out at the blizzard. Buyers arrive in miraculous ways and everything is sold, the house too, with no agent's commission. Shinn closes with an affirmation of thanks for any sale, made to the right person or persons, at the right price and to the satisfaction of everyone.

Key ideas

  • Once the request is placed in God's hands, outer conditions such as weather, distance and timing lose their power over the result.
  • Faith acts before the evidence appears. Shinn's seller polishes and arranges her furniture as though the buyers were already on their way.
  • Looking out of the window at the blizzard is a form of doubt. Preparing for the blessing is a form of trust.
  • Shinn has the seller ask for the right person at the right price, so the sale gives perfect satisfaction to both sides.
  • The closing affirmation gives thanks in the present tense, holding the sale as already accomplished.
