Prayer Treatment I
believe in my prayer and the answer to it because I believe in God’s
unfailing willingness to give me the kingdom, which is the immutable law
of good. I do not make attempts to coerce or influence God because I
realize that I am already one with God. As the result of this
awareness, I expect, accept and receive every good thing that life has to
offer. I believe, I know, and I act. I have accepted my
partnership with God, therefore today and every day what God has given me
in abundance, I share with others, because God’s wellspring of good
never runs dry. And So It Is.

Effective
Prayer I realize the Christ Presence
born anew in me. I know that there is nothing in all the universe that can prevent the
full expression of that which I am. I do not have to compel things to happen. The Christ
Presence in me expresses, because it is its nature to do so. I accept the fullness of
God's love. I know that the time has come for my larger expression of life. I depend upon
Divine Principle, which does all things in the right way, at the right time. I am ready. I
open my heart fully that my Christed self may motivate everything that I do. The Cosmic
Christ stirs the hearts of all men. I know the rightness of my vision. Regardless of what
barriers may seem to exist, or what limitations may appear. I know that Divine Mind finds
the way. I am not misled by a seeming lack of receptivity, because I know that my idea
will find its full expression. The most humble channel can be turned into the most
glorified opportunity. The Christ love illumines my way. My whole world feels its radiant
Presence. Science of Mind Magazine, 12/25/52,

"You can
overcome any obstacle. You can achieve the most tremendous things by faith
power.
Have big faith - not any
old watered-down faith,
and the change in you and in your experience will be little short of
miraculous."
--Norman Vincent Peale
Dr. Ernest Holmes
developed "spiritual mind treatment" from the healing work of
the Master Mind Jesus. In the book, “A New
Design For Living,” written by Dr. Holmes and Willis Kinnear, Dr.
Holmes defines 4-Steps of spiritual mind treatment.
Recognition: I know that there is One Presence, One
Power, One Life, One Intelligence, One Substance. It is perfect, whole,
complete, and harmonious. It is the source of all things and is in and
through all things. There is nothing separate from It. There is nothing
that can limit Its action, there is nothing that can be separate from Its
action. It always knows what to do, how to do it, and when to do it. It is
the limitless source of every good thing. It is all joy, all happiness,
love, harmony, and perfection in all that It is and does.
Identification: There is One life , that Life is God,
that Life is perfect, that Life is my life, now. There is nothing in me or
in my experience separate from God. "I am that which Thou art, Thou
art that which I am." What I am is God in me as me. I now rid my mind
of any and all ideas of isolation and separation from God, and know that
as I now turn to Him I permit and Partake of an increased flow and influx
of the Divine nature as what I am. I am one with God--all that is. My mind
is a focal point, an individualization, of the Mind of God, the One
Creative Power. The word I speak, the declaration I make is the word of
God going forth through me into new tangible creation. In accord with the
Law of Mind my word is its own fulfillment.
Declaration:
This word I speak is for me, about me, is the truth of me. There is
nothing in my mind, or the mind of another, that can deny it. Its action
and fulfillment cannot be delayed, deferred, or hindered. I know, affirm,
and declare that Divine Intelligence, the Mind of God, now guides and
directs my every thought, my every action. I know what to do, when to do
it, and how to do it. Every good idea I have carries with it the knowledge
of the ways and means for its achievement. I am vigorous and whole. I
possess the vitality of the Infinite. I am strong and well. God's Life is
my life, now. His strength is my strength. His power is my power. My whole
being is renewed, invigorated, made alive. There is peace, a Divine
harmonious, dynamic, creative action at the center of my being. Every
breath I draw, every beat of my heart, is the perfect rhythmic action of
Life Itself. The expression of the One Perfect Life in me as me is now
perfectly maintaining every atom, cell, and organ of my body. My body is a
Divine idea in the Mind of God and no thing, no situation or condition can
prevent Its full and complete expression in and as me. God created my
body, knows how to maintain it, to remove what doesn't belong, and to
rebuild it. This is occurring right now. Without reservation I know I now
manifest and experience in all fullness and completeness God's perfect
idea of me, and in all respects, every action, function, and structure of
my body now conforms to it. There is perfect assimilation, circulation,
and elimination. All that I am is one with the One Perfect Life. All the
joy there is, all the happiness, all the beauty are now mine. I am born of
the Spirit. I am in the Spirit. I am the Spirit made manifest.
Acceptance:
I now accept the creative action of the words I have spoken as the law and
the thing whereunto they are directed. They go forth into immediate
fulfillment. Right now are they fully manifest. There is no delay, there
is nothing that can prevent them from now being fully and completely
fulfilled in my experience. They are words of power and of good. I accept
them, I know they are the truth of that which I am. In and through them
God goes forth anew into creation. It is now done, it is now complete. For
this knowledge, for this understanding, I am grateful. I give thanks that
all this is so. I know and accept that there is One Life, that Life is
God, that Life is perfect, and that Life is my life now. Right now. And so it is.
AFFIRMATIVE PRAYER
Affirmative Prayer-Treatment
Spiritual Treatment
The
Power of My Faith Let us affirm:
The Power of my Faith creates for me
an awareness that the Intelligence of
G-d has found
an opening in my mind to realize for me, in me, a desire for a more
healthy life, a more prosperous life, a more successful life, a more
joy-filled life. As I choose to mentally believe this is true for me,
I can state with confidence that the good desires of my heart are
G-d's good desires for me. I am aware of my good in a greater way. I
am more confident that I can claim the good that I desire. I am filled
with the awareness that my faith is magnified and draws to me like a
magnet all things necessary for me to experience that which resides in
my mind and heart as the truth for me. I claim my good through my
thoughts, in the images that fill my mind and in the words that define
what this good is to me. I am interested in my good. I am filled with
the joy of living in the experience of my good desires. I am
fascinated with the way in which the Intelligence, Spirit and Power of
G-d prepares the way for all this good and more to be made manifest in
my life ... beginning right now.
and so it is .... Amen.
Rev. Bates
Treatment
for Wholeness
As I recognize God, Infinite Spirit, I
activate within my consciousness the presence of the Presence; the
Power of the Infinite and the Infinite Intelligence available to me,
right where I am. As I am consciously aware of this Truth, I
know and accept that this Presence In-dwells me ... for It is One with
my mind ... in my mind ... now. In this realization, I become
aware that I can speak my word into this Mind and announce that
wholeness exists in all things that concern me; my finances, my
health, my relationships and my work. My Good is not measured to
me as a reward or withheld from me as a punishment ... I can take that
which is mine by right of consciousness ... for it has been prepared
for me ... and I prepare my mind to accept it. Nothing or no one
can hinder my prosperity, my success, or my excellent health. I
embrace loving and supportive relationships as I love and support all
those in my experience. As I take this Truth deeper within my
consciousness, my heart, my mind and my soul are filled with gratitude
and a great appreciation for Life, Truth and God. As I dwell in
the place of the Most High ... feeling the tender sweetness of the
Silence within my mind ... I release these words into the Law, knowing
that the Infinite responds to me spontaneously.
And so it is ... Amen.
Rev. Bates
