    Prosperity's Ten Commandments - Georgiana Tree West

    1940

    INTRODUCTION

    The Ten Commandments are cardinal laws for human society. Cardo in Latin means hinge; therefore, cardinal laws are those on which other laws depend or hinge. They are fundamental laws because they are the basis or foundation upon which all principles of right action may be built.

    The Ten Commandments will continue to serve as a basis of right action for all people at all times and in all ways as the fundamental Truth in each is better understood. As our understanding grows, we are able to see greater meaning in these laws and to make broader application of them. This is what Paul meant by the fulfilling of the law (Rom. 13:10).

    One way to make broader application of the Ten Commandments in our daily lives is to use them as a basis of action in handling all our financial affairs. This revelation came to me while meditating on hidden values in the Commandments. Out of this revelation, Prosperity’s Ten Commandments evolved. They go to you with the prayer that they may prove to be of as much value in your life as they have been in the life of the author.

    THE FIRST COMMANDMENT

    You shall look to no other source but God for your supply.

    You shall have no other gods before me

    —Exodus 20:3          

    Pilate’s question, What is truth? (Jn. 18:38), is the cry of every person’s soul at some time in his or her existence. Even as Jesus stood silently before Pilate as the revealed answer, so the Christ in everyone silently awaits recognition as the Truth of his or her being.

    Truth is the state in which Spirit dwells, a state of perfection that is eternally, creatively active. Truth may be briefly defined as the action of Spirit. As such, it is unlimited in nature and cannot be confined within the restrictions of time or space. In other words, Truth once voiced is true under any circumstances for all eternity.

    When Moses delivered the Ten Commandments to the Children of Israel, he voiced the Truth God had revealed to him concerning the relationship of people to their Creator and to their fellows. The Ten Commandments, in the form in which Moses gave them, served as a basis of right action toward God and humanity for the unruly, primitive people that Moses led out of Egyptian bondage. Each commandment is an embodiment of Truth; therefore, the form can be changed to meet the needs of all people, at all times, under all conditions.

    Truth is capable of limitless expansion. For this reason, we find the essential Truth embodied in the Ten Commandments to be not only the basis of right spiritual and moral conduct, but also the basis for establishing permanent prosperity.

    The first commandment is the very foundation of Christianity: You shall have no other gods before me. We are to acknowledge no other source of life, love, wisdom, and power than our Creator. Only with this secure foundation can we bring into manifestation our spiritual perfection. In this same commandment, we find the only sound basis for the manifesting of permanent prosperity. It is prosperity’s first commandment:

    You shall look to no other source but God for your supply.

    Our Scriptures fairly teem with exhortations to look to God as the one source of supply. The Old and New Testaments are filled with promises of rich fulfillment of every need for those who acknowledge God’s presence and power. David, the shepherd king, voiced the confidence of humanity in a Creator who is able and willing to provide for His creation when he said, For God alone my soul waits in silence, for my hope is from him (Ps.
