JOEL GOLDSMITH: "If God Answered That Prayer, God Would Be a Monster" | 1960 Chicago Closed Class

✨ If God ever answered anyone's prayer to heal anyone God would be a monster 🪷 Joel Goldsmith teaches that business, sales, teaching, and inheritance are never separate from spiritual living — and reveals through several real testimonies why forgiveness, not petition, is what actually opens the door to abundance. ✨ In this extraordinary session you'll discover: • A man lost his fortune in the Depression — asked Joel to help him collect a huge debt — the only spiritual instruction: forgive it completely — that very night, everything began to change • Real estate deal, then a church contract, then a government job — within two years he was a full business partner — not because he chased the money — but because he stopped chasing at all • Joel couldn't sell to one buyer for years — a practitioner threw the treatment back at him — the problem was never the buyer's will — it was Joel's belief that another will could dominate • A schoolteacher's winter absences dropped from 23% to 5% — zero students held back that entire term — she later became her state's world educational officer — because teaching, too, is spiritual practice • A disinherited woman refused to believe God disinherits anyone — her lawyer found the will years later — hidden under a desk blotter, never probated — she got everything, including the one rug she wanted • If God answered one prayer and left millions unhealed — Joel says plainly, God would be a monster — most "answered" prayers are just personal faith at work — no different than faith in a medal or a saint's bones • "Divine love always has met and always will meet every human need" — a church sign Joel realized everyone was reading backwards — love doesn't come from outside to meet you — it only returns once you've expressed it first • A man gave away the only shoes off his feet — opened every care package for anyone in need — lived to 85 with barely a day of suffering — because he never stopped giving what he had • God is not a power to be used, prayed to, or petitioned — God is simply being, forever being God — roses come from rose bushes, that's just what is — relax, and let that be your life Let God be your safety, your supply, your security. He already knoweth your need. Stop asking, and start being the instrument. ⌛ STRATEGIC STUDY TIMESTAMPS 🥾### The Core Journey [00:00:30] - Business as Spiritual Activity: Spirit works.
