To learn the laws of manifestation, there are vitally important lessons—patience, persistence and perseverance. You have to learn implicit obedience and be willing to follow out My instructions, no matter how foolish they may appear to be. It is only when these lessons have been learnt and put into practice that the most wonderful things begin to happen in your life, and you do indeed behold My laws being lived and demonstrated. Always remember, you have to do something, you have to live a life and not just spend your life praying, hoping something will happen. Prayer is necessary, but it is not enough. You have to learn to live a life for all to see. Talking about faith is not enough. You have to live in such a way that all those souls around you can see what it means to live by faith, what it means to put your whole faith and trust in Me, the Lord your God, the divinity within you.

　　要學習彰顯的法則，是有極其重要的功課的——耐心、堅持和毅力。我需要去學習絕對的服從，並願意聽從上天的引導，無論它們可能看起來多麼愚蠢。只有當這些功課被學習了並被實踐了時，最美好的事物才會開始在我的生活中發生，而我的確會目睹上天的法則被活出來和被展示出來。

　　總是記住，我需要去做些什麼，我需要去活出一種生活，而不僅是花一生的時間在祈禱上，期望某些事情會發生。祈禱是需要的，但它並不足夠。我需要去學習活出一種生活，讓所有人都可以看到。談論信念是不夠的。我需要以這種方式活出來，所以我周圍所有的靈魂都能看到，以信念而活意味著什麼，將我的全部信念與信任交與上天意味著什麼，上天即主，我的上帝，我內在的神性。
