IF I STOP TRYING

Many of you came to me after our previous discussions
Asking, but Neville
If I stop trying
Won't everything
Fall apart
If I stop trying
Won't everything
Fall apart
Lemme tell you a story that will illuminate
This principle further
There was a lady in my audience in New York
Who had been trying to sell her house for two years
She had listed it with countless agents
Reduced the price repeatedly
And was constantly trying to make the sale happen
After hearing this principle she did something remarkable
She went home that night
And did what I'm teaching you
Instead of trying to sell the house
She assumed it was already sold
She sat in her favorite chair
And constructed a scene implying the sale was completed
In her imagination
She held the check in her hands
Feeling its crisp texture
She felt the joy and relief of the completed sale
Most importantly, she stopped trying to sell it
Within one week
A buyer appeared who purchased the house
At her original asking price
You see, the lady's constant trying was her confession
Of not having
And therefore she could only reap
The harvest of not having
The moment she assumed the completed state
The law of consciousness had to operate
To bring it into her experience

If I stop trying
Won't everything
Fall apart
If I stop trying
Won't everything
Fall apart

Lemme take you deeper into scripture
For remember
The Bible is not telling the story
Of historical events
But is revealing
Eternal psychological truth
Consider the story of the Israelites
Trying to enter the promised land
For 40 years, they wandered in the wilderness
Trying to reach their destination
But it was only when they stopped trying
When they followed the instruction to stand still
And see the salvation of the Lord
That the walls of Jericho fell
And they entered their promised land
This is not just a historical account
It is your story
Your desire is your promised land
And your trying is your wilderness wondering
The walls of Jericho represent
All the seeming obstacles between you and your desire
But these walls fall not by effort
But by assumption

If I stop trying
Won't everything
Fall apart
If I stop trying
Won't everything
Fall apart
If I stop trying
Won't everything
Fall apart
If I stop trying
Won't everything
Fall apart
