2. Hate is one of the strongest forms of attraction.
How Can We Attract Happy Results?

1. Begin picturing the good you want.
2. Practice quietly expecting it.
3. Picture the best, not only for yourself, but also for others.
4. Work out your own master plan for success and quietly dwell upon it.
5. Do not spend your time merely hoping and wishing that everything will
work out fine in your life.
DAY 5 CHAPTER 4 – HOW TO ENTER YOUR PROMISED LAND

OF LAVISH ABUNDANCE
1. The Promised Land symbolizes the unlimited good which a rich, loving,
Father has for each person.
2. Success finds the people who prepare for it.

MILLIONAIRE JOSHUA
3. An inner realization of the abundance you desire always precedes its outer
manifestation in our life, since the word realization means completion.
4. Joshua realized that anything can be disposed of mentally, and that anything
can be created mentally, that the outer world of circumstances shapes itself
to the inner world of thought.
5. Lift up your thinking.
6. Go forth under divine direction to claim that which is yours by divine right.
DISCUSS THE STEPS IN JOSHUA’S SUCCESS PLAN

1. Arise, do something.
2. Use your “No” and “Yes” Mind Power.
3. Perform inner and outer cleansing.
4. Dissolve barriers with victorious words and divine promises.
5. Give Thanks.
DAY 6 CHAPTER 5 – HOW TO CLAIM YOUR PROSPEROUS

JERICHO
MEETING AN IMPOSSIBLE SITUATION SUCCESSFULLY…

1. First, become quiet.
2. Pray and meditate.
3. Circumcise or cut off fear (Use the “No” power of the mind to erase, cleanse
and eliminate fear in your thinking).
6
MILLIONAIRE JOSHUA
4. Pray for specific guidance.
DISCUSS JOSHUA 5:10
WHAT SHOULD YOU DO WHEN FACING HARD CONDITIONS:

1. Keep very quiet about the problem, so that you do not dissipate your power
in a negative way.
2. Declare words of Truth with Feeling.
3. It has been estimated that the spoken word can speed up results as much as
80 percent.
4. Remember, every word brings forth according to its kind. You can build up
or you can tear down with your spoken words.
DAY 7 CHAPTER 6 – WHEN YOUR PROSPERITY IS WITHHELD
1. When your good is withheld in the form of increased health, prosperity or

happiness, YOU – not someone else – are withholding it!
2. Per Emerson, “It is impossible for a man to be cheated by anyone but

himself.”
3. Just as the spoils of war in ancient times were considered a tithe, which
belonged wholly to Jehovah’s treasury, so the tithe is not man’s to withhold
today.
4. People with problems are people who are out of balance with the universe.
They need to give in order to restore balance and order in their minds,
bodies, financial affairs and human relationships.
7
MILLIONAIRE JOSHUA
5. The Hebrews gave not the last and the least, but the first and the best, and
their giving made them rich.
6. Giving was a method for getting prayers answered.
7. Tithes were believed to purge a person of sin, illness, and even to deliver
from death.
8. Putting God first financially, through the act of faithful tithing a tenth of all
you receive, will straighten out and adjust every phase of your life.
9. Tithing spells success.
DAY 8 CHAPTER 7 – THE PROSPERING POWER OF MISTAKES
1. The word “mistake” means “misunderstand,” “to take wrongly,” “to estimate
incorrectly,” or a “fault in interpretation.”
2. From Joshua we learn that there are no mistakes.
3. Your mistakes are merely experiences, which you have misunderstood.
4. Rename your mistakes.
5. Something good can come from an experience once you take the negative
label off of it.
6. Refuse to brood over past mistakes. Loose them, release them, let them go.
DAY 9 CHAPTER 8 – HOW TO GAIN CONTROL AND PROSPER
1. The Hebrews took control of their destiny by speaking forth definite words.
8
MILLIONAIRE JOSHUA
2. When making a master demonstration, don’t give up; don’t turn back.
Speak the word of complete victory and fulfillment.
3. Speak positive words and decree that your good is coming forth.
4. The word “Bethhoron” means “a thought center deep in consciousness, in

which the higher thoughts of justice and truth may descend in order to
cleanse erroneous thoughts and emotions.”
5. When you are not getting the results you feel you should have, it may be that
you are wasting your time and substance on people, situations or experiences
that are unimportant and unnecessary in your life.
6. The negative vibrations of hurry instantly cut your connections with

universal good. The peaceful, unhurried state of mind attracts its vast
benefits.
7. The quiet time of prayer, inspirational study, speaking positive words of

good, and meditation become the most precious periods in our day, and the
most productive of good.
DAY 10 CHAPTER 9 – THE PROSPERITY LAW OF CHANGE AND

THE CONCLUSION
1. “Joshua left nothing undone of all that the Lord commanded Moses…Joshua
took the whole land according to all that the Lord said unto Moses; and
Joshua gave it for an inheritance to Israel…” (Joshua 11:15, 23)
2. In the midst of change, declare “I see the angel of God in every change.”
3. All things work together for good, even amid changes.
4. Change is the master law of life since it is the law of nature to grow.
9
MILLIONAIRE JOSHUA
5. To live is to grow and to grow is to change.
6. Old ways must often die.
7. Failure is only the death of old ways so that the new hundredfold increase of
blessings may follow.
8. Changes in your life will be doubly fruitful and very productive if you meet
them quietly.
9. Avoid fear of letting go of the lesser in order that the greater good may
appear.
10. The soul demands change for its expansion.
11. New cycles of growth bring new lessons to be learned and new benefits to
be gained.
12. The Hebrews evolved in their understanding of substance as the key to all
wealth, and how to claim it individually and collectively.
For then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good
success. (Joshua 1:7, 8)
