How Many Prayers Does It Take? #prayer #treatment #healingprayers #DivineMind #SpiritualLiving

When you begin to work on a new project, anything from baking a cake to constructing a large building, the mental process is similar. You have an idea in mind. From that idea, you decide on a set of ways that you will accomplish the task. You take steps forward to complete the action. You continue until your idea has come to completion. This may take minutes, hours, days, months, or years. But, the idea here is that a thought does not come into complete fruition until it manifests. So, too, is the idea of prayer treatment.

We are human. As humans, we are result oriented. We do not practice wishcraft in the sense that we can sit down in the middle of the kitchen and “hope” for a cake to bake itself. We actually must do the task at hand to see its resolve. So, also, is the task of praying for results.

If you have set out to pray for healing for someone and do not see results, you continue on the pathway toward the manifestation of healing until you see a result. How often you pray is dependent upon your level of trust in your prayer. When people pray continually, they are saying to the Universe and to God, “You don’t hear my prayer!” So, continual prayer may be more to resolve the fear of one’s own prayer being ineffective, than it is out of necessity for the Universal power of Good to take action.

Jesus said, “If you say to the mountain be moved, and believe it with all of your heart, the mountain will move.” So, nowhere in the bible do we see Jesus repeating prayers. He stepped out in faith and simply believed that the power of the universe that manifests our prayers will hearken unto the voice of the faithful.

Our process is more about ridding our minds of the fear that we are ineffective and trusting the prayer is answered—NOT BY US—but by the power of God that manifests in the universe as change, as prosperity, as healing, and as complete peace.

So, the answer to the question: how many prayers does it take—is ONE. However, as humans, we may consider that we treat for a condition one time a day, each day, until we see results. The rest of the time we should use affirmations to appease our own disbelief and continue to trust in the One Power that created all.

Here is an example of this kind of prayer and an affirmation:

“This is what I know to be true. God is all in all. God is in the ocean, the sky, and in the smallest cell of the human body. I know this because all that is in the manifest universe is a result of one thought, one intention, and uses the same energy that manifested the Universe. Therefore, you and I are made from the same energy that created all. There is only one Energy. Knowing this, I see (the person I’m praying for) completely whole. Every cell of his/her body is created in perfection and with love. Any manifestation otherwise is an illusion. (The person) is already healed in my mind now. And I’m thankful for the truth of this prayer. I release is to the Law that knows no failure and moves and acts through me and my intention NOW. And so it is.”

The affirmation: (The person’s name) is now and always has been, a divine reflection of God, a child made in the image of God, in the image of perfection—now.

Prayer for Someone Else? #spiritualadvice #DivineMind #ScienceofMind #SOM #SpiritualLiving

In praying for someone else, what I realize is that the person I am praying for actually is myself. I need my faith to increase to be an effective prayer warrior. I must be convinced totally in the idea that whatever it is I desire in thought has already express in Divine Mind and must manifest because of my belief.

This seed that I plant in the subjective mind is the seed that tends toward manifestation.

There is no wishing in Spirit, nor hoping. To effectively pray for another person, first, your mind must be inline with the wholeness and prosperity that you are.

Then you can begin to confess what you know to be true for someone else, who is sick or suffering in someway.

You must see this truth with unwavering faith.

The truth for this individual has already happened, no matter what manifestations are present.

In fact, when I pray for someone, I try not to look at the negative manifestations or listen to any complaining, therein.

I simply know my truth and sit in silence with that truth until I see it clearly in my mind.

This is effective prayer.

What Exactly Do You Believe? #spiritualadvice #DivineMind #ScienceofMind #SOM #SpiritualLiving

In times of desperation, sickness, and need, most of us extend our thoughts toward or beg some sort of outside source that will help change our negative condition. I have heard the story that some people who typically do not believe or have any conviction in a God, feel guilty for praying only when in need. If we have to be clear and realistic, most people only pray when there is a need.

So, we wonder if prayer, in those times, is even effective, since most of the people praying, do not really take the time to undergird their faith for struggles such as these.

Truly, prayer only has effect when we take the time daily to realize what is the nature of God—complete wholeness, total abundance, and perfect love. If we trust that this is our image of God in this universe, then we know we are also entitled to these beliefs about ourselves. So, when we find a glitch in our thinking and some manifestation of negativity appears in our lives, it is not to a deity outside of us that we should pray to, to change this negativity. God has already put the universe in order.

It is our minds that have malfunctioned in times such as these. So, for prayer to work, we must put our minds back in order. We must tell ourselves that we are already whole, complete, and created in love. And, we must turn away from all symptoms that appear otherwise. The more we are convinced of our true nature or anyone else’s true nature—NOT THE NEGATIVE SYMPTOM—the more our prayer of wholeness, prosperity, and love will take effect.

So, in essence, prayer is not an asking or a begging for change. Prayer gives space for the natural condition of every human being to become what it has been intended to be!

Let your prayer be this:

“Spirit, Source, God—all in all, the one who has called the universe into being and has founded it in love, wholeness, and abundance, we know that everything exists through you, in you, and as you!

So, as we are a part of your loving creation, we, too, are whole, abundant, and filled with love. This is our divine nature. This is our steadfast belief. 

To any negative condition, we consider it null and void. We give precedence and space in our minds for our wholeness and nothing else. Lastly, we call unto Divine Mind to produce any need extraneous to what has already been created. For in the Mind of God is the Creative Matter in which all things manifest. And so it is!”

Working Through the Maybes

I have noticed that acquiring dreams in a big way can also attract hindrances and blocks. So, when the seed of faith is sewn in the rich soil of the Creative Field, how do you get past the static that could keep you from the clear picture of your dream?

We know that, if we bring negativity into the subjective, creative field, we will manifest negativity. So, when blocks appear in your life that are not on the road to your dream—when, in fact, they hinder your dream—you must vanquish the negative thought immediately with positive affirmations.

For instance: You have written a stellar book. You have prayed and treated that “you already have a publishing deal that will produce great abundance and get your book into the hands that will distribute it to all the people who need it, through you—now.” This is your positive treatment and prayer. However, the first person to whom your agent pitches the book refuses to even read the proposal. You suddenly feel that your prayer isn’t working, because this is the publisher with whom, you have established a mental equivalent, a publisher you felt would love your book. What do you do next?

First of all, we know that “Divine Love draws together and keeps together those who belong together.” If this were not so, then Divine Good would constantly be fighting itself. Good outweighs negativity on this earth by order of the fact that the earth is still present. Your life still exists because good outweighs the bad. If the bad outweighed the good, neither the earth nor you would exist. Every seeming rejection asks the universe the question: who am I? And, the answer is always I am one with God. So how can I be rejected by God? God can not reject Itself!

For the Law to exist, it must not be fighting with itself. For your dreams to exist, your mind must not be fighting with itself. Everything in the universe has its internal metaphor in your mind. So, we must connect with the good in our minds and with the universal law and stay connected in every way we can, in times of discord. Focus on your unwavering faith.

All that is coming up in a negative form isn’t there to hinder you. It’s there to be absorbed by the light. All negative feelings show me my human fears so that I can resolve my disbelief and walk toward oneness with God. If you take this opportunity to rid your mind of all your fears, your lack of self-esteem, your thoughts of self-sabotage, then you will move past this block quickly and find all that you need, effectively producing results in your life.

Remember, when you pray, you would be better off to treat for the best and even better, instead of something specific. Specificity limits God’s work in your life. We never want to pray with limitation. We want to allow God to give us more than we ever could expect. For instance, in our prior scenario, the author would be better off praying that a perfect publisher has found her book to be a great fit for the publisher’s imprint. The publisher is already supporting the book and finds the perfect niche to sell it.

If you focus your prayer and attention on one person or publisher, and that person is not inline with your truth, then you have wasted a lot of energy and prayer on something that only God can grow and bring into fruition. Remember: You plant the seed with your prayers. God grows the tree!

In life, maybes can rule your world, if you don’t set your mind on the absolute positive potential of God working through you now! You must not let the negative thoughts and expressions outweigh that which you know to be true about God, your oneness with God, and the expression or effect of your prayer.

You continue to treat and pray for this expression, not because God or Spirit hasn’t heard your original prayer. You pray again to get your mind aligned with the truth. Remember: All you need is faith the size of a mustard seed to move a mountain. When faith, vision, your Conscious Mind, and God’s Power connect, the power of this union will produce in kind exactly what you ordered from the Universe almost immediately.

This book is a story of never saying what you want or believe, until maybe it’s too late. This piece of Southern Literary Fiction will have you laughing and crying as the confusion of life, love, and crazy characters find their way into your heart. Go to Amazon!

The Five Steps to Effective #Prayer

I Was Told to Live (a meditation by Ernest Holmes)

By some inner mystic presence,

I was told to live and to love, to laugh and to be glad.

I was told to be still and know of the One Almighty Power, in and through all

I was told to let that Power work through and in me.

I believed that voice and I received my Good.

I love this meditation, because it focuses in what we know about life and Spirit—not what we don’t know. Much of life is about what we don’t know or understand. A good prayer, an effective prayer, only focuses in on the power we do know. We have examples of effective prayer that have worked either in your individual life or in the ancient scriptures. I have been working on the five tenants of effective prayer. Below, I share this concept:

 

1. First, we have to recognize the power we address: We do this by expressing what we know right now. “God is all Intelligence, Spiritual Energy, Creative Power, Truth, and Pure Divine Love.” (These are just a few of my examples of the names of this God power. You can take a walk somewhere special and find names for God in just about anything or anywhere. Also, you may not want to use the word God at all. For some people who have been disenfranchised from churches, they find the word God rife with negative meaning and judgment. This is why I suggest discovering your own names.)

 

2. Second, how do you connect with this one power? This is the law of your individual experience with the ONE. Begin with “I am an Individualization of God, an expression of love, made in the perfect likeness and image of Spirit. I am filled with abundant light, because God is light, and I am a co-creator with God right now!”

 

3. Then, after you have declared your belief to yourself and the universal presence, Declare you intention in the present moment—in the now! We declare our prayer for a specific purpose. In this step we move beyond any condition or effect we see in the human condition, especially because most of what we see if negative, secondary cause. I prayer effectively, we must move to the spiritual idea or the ideal of the condition, beyond what we see. For instance: “I declare that I am open and receptive to new ideas. I have the means and cause within me to change all that is in my causal life today. I know my portion exists! I NOW accept this greater good for me. I know that the power of God flows in all things—including my finances and in my personal relationships.”

 

4. After we declare our intention, we give thanks. “It is in gratitude that I accept the Truth of this perfect relationship and abundance in my life.”

 

5. Lastly, and the most important part of the prayer is it to release your prayer to the power that created all. We can only direct our own consciousness to see good in all. We can’t change or alter others. Only Spirit can. So, we prayer until OUR reality changes. An example of Release: “I release this prayer to the law of mind: that knows what to do and knows how to do it and does it by means and through me.”

(I plant the seed, God Grows the Tree. God has the hard part.)

 

Prayer and treatment is clearing the thought of negation of doubt and fear and causing your mind to perceive the ever-present power of Spirit.

 

So, if we put our prayer together we have come up with this powerful and effective prayer:

 

“God is all Intelligence, Spiritual Energy, Creative Power, Truth, and Pure Divine Love. And I am an Individualization of this same power—an expression of this love, made in the perfect likeness and image of abundant life. Because God is life, I am a co-creator with God right now! I declare that I am open and receptive to new ideas. I have the means and cause within me to change all negativity that is in my life today. I NOW accept my portion and the greater good for my life. I know that the power of God flows in all things—including my finances and in my personal relationships. And it is in gratitude that I accept this Truth of this perfect relationship and abundance in my life. I release this prayer to the law of Spirit and Divine Mind, that knows what to do and knows how to do it and does it by means and through me.”

Write your open prayer today using these concepts and see what you come up with to help make effective change in your life today!

Coming Up: I’ll be speaking more about how to pray—not what to think, but HOW to think effectively, to change your life!

Can #Prayer Alter Another Person’s Life?

The entire premise of prayer should be aligning our minds with the awesomeness of God’s plan. “Praying for others is a matter of releasing those people to the activity of God and continually strengthening our own awareness of this activity in them.” (Unity.org) If there is purpose in someone’s pain and path, should we pray to change this course? Does our prayer help or change the very molecules of life? I’m sure these are questions we all have.

In my life, I have noticed that when someone asks for prayer, I pray for that person to be in line with God’s will. If that same person asks for prayer for someone else—who may not desire change—I pray for the person asking for prayer to be in line with God’s will. However, in the second scenario, my prayer will change to asking God to open the mind of the person to the will of God for the person in need.

Every purpose in heaven and on earth comes down to God’s perfect will. We must realize that the only thing we can alter is our own alignment with God’s purpose for us, first, then in others, next.

“Being there” for someone is limiting, because we often don’t have the time, talents, or finances to help people out of the paradigm they have found themselves in. But a higher level exists to help. We can help change others by changing ourselves.

When you step into a room filled with your own peace garnered from meditation and right thinking, your peace contains spiritual molecules that change and envelope everyone you touch. We can pray for truth and enlightenment in others, much better than we can, sometimes for ourselves. True prayer practitioners are trained to see only the best for each of us. Seeing the best is actually seeing God’s purpose, not trying to change what the Creator has set in motion for the highest and best good for each person in our lives.

But, my question is not about helping others in their change toward the better. My question is “can we prayer for others who don’t want prayer or change?” We can see for them the best, always. We can ask that our burden be free and that their sickness, financial problems, and addictions be changed by God? Ultimately, God’s will for their lives is in play and nothing we pray can change what God has purposed from the beginning of time. If we begin to pray for our own ego wishes, instead of the purpose of God, we err in our belief.

In my work I have helped people in palliative care move through the transition of sickness to death. In doing so, I have become acutely aware that some people are completely at peace with letting go of their sick bodies and letting their spirits move into the next stage of spiritual development. Because of this, I think that trying to keep sick people on this earth because we don’t want to let go is a selfish way to pray.

I was sick recently for just a couple of days, and I felt awful. I wanted to be anywhere but in my sick body. Can you imagine being in a body that is slowly dying with a sickness like Lou Gherkin’s disease? If someone wants to let go of a body that is rife with illness, who am I to ask God to heal him or her?

On the other hand, miraculous healing does exist, but usually this healing happens as a result of the person who is sick having a complete change of mind about him/herself and the disease in the human body. I’m sure you could find many stories, especially like Unity’s cofounder, Myrtle Fillmore, who changed her own sick body to live a life free of her debilitating disease. Also, the famous author Louise Hay has a similar story. I glory in the perfect paradigm of change in those people looking for help from spirit and who actually find change curing their body. This is prayer at work in one’s own body.

But, I’m inclined to believe that even the changes in these two examples had happened because their lives needed this miracle to place them on a path to help others think in line with Spirit’s will. Ultimately, my friends, pray to be in line with God’s perfect will for everyone and you will not pray amiss!
