Manifestation
The one Lord is your own awareness of being, the single power at work behind every experience. No crowd of forces competes for a life. One power answers to whatever a person assumes himself to be, and every apparent second cause is that same power wearing a mask.
Faith is the acceptance that makes an assumption solid to you before the senses confirm it. Baptism is immersion, being plunged so completely into a chosen state that you rise up as a new man, wet with a new self-conception. All three name one movement. One power, taken as certain, entered fully, and a person emerges changed. The unity is no doctrine to admire from a distance. Consciousness is the only actor, and what it accepts as so is what it becomes.

Live Ephesians 4:5 today
- Before you start the day, settle on one thing you are taking as true about yourself and stop auditioning alternatives all morning.
- When a friend lists all the forces stacked against them, do not pile on. Hold steady with them in the better outcome as if it were already settled.
- When bad news arrives by email or phone, resist naming a villain, and act as though one power is at work and you are already inside it.
What am I treating as a second power running my life?
