Tricks or Treats? (Health)
Do you play tricks on your body, or do you give it treats? With Halloween coming up, it is time to give attention to the old practice of tricking or treating. I remember when I would go out with other kids and knock on people’s doors and ask, “Trick or Treat?” The implication is that if I was not given a treat, I would play a trick on whoever answered the door.
In relation to health, many people play “tricks” on their bodies when they speak about their bodies in disdainful ways instead of “treating” their bodies with words of life, health, love, wholeness and perfection.
If you have not already, begin now and realize that you are NOT your body. You are a spiritual being inhabiting a seemingly material body. Your body pays attention to every thought you think, every word you speak, and whatever you put into your body in the way of food.
You play tricks on your body if you speak disparaging words and tell it it’s imperfect, bad, unhealthy, weak or not very good, and feed it dead, unhealthy, disagreeable food. You treat your body when you love it and speak loving, uplifting, life-giving words to and about it and feed it with alive, healthy, wholesome foods.
Now is the time to no longer play tricks on your body. Treat your body by blessing and loving it. Remember, you are not your body. You are Pneuma, Divine Spirit, your Real Self. Treat your body with respectful words, foods, and actions. Your body is the only one you have this time around on Mother Earth. Treat it well and it will serve you well. Love is the highest and best you can treat it with.- Lovingly, Rev. John
Affirm: Divinely guided, I treat my body with love and respect and my body is alive and healthy now!
I am about to do a new thing; now it springs forth do you not perceive it?
– Isaiah 43:19
Tricks or Treats? (Prosperity)
If you’ve been playing “tricks” on yourself in relation to your prosperity, now is the time to change and Treat it differently. When you think or utter words such as, “I am poor,” “I can’t afford it,” “It’s hard for me to prosper,” you are playing tricks on yourself. Your subconscious mind hears and responds to every thought you think and every word you speak. That is why it’s a good idea to treat yourself with words such as, “I am Prosperity,” “I am rich,” “I am in the flow of prospering substance.”
People tend to keep themselves in undesirable conditions by thinking and speaking demeaning words about themselves, believing they are separate from God. You treat yourself correctly when you think and speak in an upward, rich and prospering manner.
Myrtle Fillmore, co-founder of Unity School of Christianity, said, “Never entertain thoughts of ‘hard times’ unless you want to produce those conditions in your life.” That is a way of playing tricks on your mind and your life. Treat your mind and life with thoughts and words that build up, are substance-filled, loving and prospering.
Stuart Wilde wrote: “If you are not a millionaire, you are not accepting all the wealth the universe has for you.” You may not want to be a millionaire in terms of money, but you can be a millionaire in terms of love, peace, joy, substance, harmony and all the blessings of God. When you treat yourself in this way, do not be surprised when money flows more abundantly in your life, which is a good thing! – Lovingly, Rev. John
Affirm: Divinely guided, I treat myself with love and respect and give thanks that the universe if prospering me richly and abundantly now!

Prosperity Increases in wonderful way! – My birthday is usually rather quiet, but this year, two old friends took me to dinner. Some coworkers took me to lunch. Then other friends treated me to dimmer. Recently, an old friend came back into my life and is being more attentive than ever! I had thought I would have no vacation this year until someone agreed to drive and go on a four-day trip to my favorite state. Since I don’t drive, I was able to relax and rest. I have also received news about an inheritance. Thank you for your prayer support. Enclosed is my grateful tithe in support of your wonderful ministry. – Maryland
