Your Own Brand

Good Morning!!! Your Own Brand Around the Year with Emmet Fox October 10 You cannot claim too much for yourself provided you claim the same thing for all other human beings. In fact, it is our duty to claim all good things and to continue claiming them until they demonstrate in our outer experience. Of course, this law works both ways and therefore, you must be very careful not to claim the negative things that you do not want. On the western ranches the owner of a steer brands it with his name, "Bar A Ranch" or some such cipher Then if it should wander into strange territory, it will always be returned to him. On the other hand, when an animal without his brand wanders into his corral, he says, "That is not my steer," and out it goes. Many a foolish person puts his mental brand on a steer that he does not want in the least, and is surprised when the animal stays obstinately at home. People say my rheumatism, my forgetfulness, my poverty, et cetera, branding the steers, they do not want instead of turning them out of the corral. When you really want something, brand it deeply with your own name and it will be yours. ". . . but everyone ... shall keep himself to his own inheritance" Numbers 36:9
