The Word of my mouth shall bear fruit.
It shall accomplish and prosper, and shall not return unto me void.
My Word is the law unto the thing where-unto it is sent, and it cannot come back empty-handed.
I send out my Word and it is the law unto my life.
My Word is the Law unto that thing where-unto it is spoken, and will become fulfilled in the right way and at the right time.
My Word is complete and perfect, and is the Presence and the Power of the One Mind that is in and through all.
I speak the Word and know that it will accomplish.
I wait in perfect confidence for the Word to fulfill itself in my life.
My Word Is Law.
And so it is. Amen.
Keep the faith!

God Restores Me to Perfect Health by Dr. Ernest Holmes
God is immediate Presence and an immediate Experience in my mind and soul, and I am conscious of this Perfect Presence, this Divine Wisdom, this Eternal Wholeness. Now I recognize that the Principle of Life is in me and around me and operates through me; that It has no want, has no fear, has no doubt, has no limitation. There is that within me which guides me into opulence, into success, into harmony and love and beauty and friendship, and It does this in peace, in joy, in certainty. I let that Divine within me - using whatever method It may - restore me to perfect health, perfect happiness and harmony and bring into my experience everything that is good, that is perfect, that is true and successful.
I am not only one with this Spirit, but this Spirit is all that I am. It is my whole being, and this Divine Wisdom is in my thought, causing me to act and move intelligently, to make right choices and to follow right pursuits. There are no problems in this Divine Wisdom. Therefore, the road is made straight before me; every obstacle is removed and I am led - irresistably led - to the Absolute, certain goal of Good, of accomplishment, of success.
God Restores Me to Perfect Health .... and so it is, amen.

"That Life Is In Me Now" - Ernest Holmes
The following is an example of a treatment which creates a demonstration:
Realize you have nothing to make, you have nothing to make it out of. Let us realize there is but one Infinite Life from which all things come. Look beyond all manifestation and see the One Power, Essence of All That Is, beside which there is nothing else. That life is in me now; That Life is in me now.
Now, my word is to go forth; everybody must think it through for themselves as I am thinking it through for myself. Your word is just as much as mine; my word goes forth into this power and it shall be done unto me absolutely as I believe.
I believe that the Spirit or Intelligence hears this word and receives it and acts upon it.
There is nothing in me, no doubt or fear, that can hinder it. That thing which calls itself doubt or limitation and fear is not any part of me. It is not me. This word which I speak destroys every false concept, every man-made law, every race suggestion of limitation, and knows itself to be power, and perfect, and eternal, and complete, and omnipotent. It is the law which cannot be broken.
That word which is within me and around me, the divine activity of the Spirit which is eternal, drawing to me, presenting me with every good and perfect thing, surrounding me with its own limitless activity and power, operating within me as the power and center of infinite attraction. The great impulse of this Spirit is love and expression, to express life. Therefore, this word goes forth with an irresistible power; nothing can stand against it. It returns unto me fulfilled in my life as activity, as supply, and if I desire some special activity I will say that this word, this great Mind which knows every living soul, knows that particular person that has need of that; I have and will draw them to me, and I need never know until they come.
Mind knows all, is in all, flows through all, and within and without all and encompasses all. And so that person who comes shall be benefited even as I shall be benefited.
Now I consciously unify myself with all of the activities of power and of right on earth. I am one with all the wealth of the earth and the air and the sea and the land, and everything that is in the universe is mine to use.
And behind it all, and in and through and in and around it all, permeating myself and the thought and the law, is the living spirit and presence of that Being whom we call God Almighty, the One and Only Presence, Divine and Eternal Power, the Infinite Companion.
Thou God Eternal, Thou has heard my prayer and I am blessed.
This word, then, which I speak is absolute, complete, changeless, eternal truth, forever.
Just realize it. Let it go and realize that it is taken up by the power which knows. That is all there is to making a demonstration. You must believe it as the great reality of your life.
And so it is.
Amen.
Keep the faith!

"Love" - Dr. Ernest Holmes
Today, my love goes out to all people and all things. There is not fear in this love for perfect love casts out all fear. There is no doubt in this love for faith penetrates all doubt and reveals a unity at the center of everything that embraces all things. This love flowing through me harmonizes everything in my experience, brings joy and gladness to everything, and brings a sense of security and well-being to everyone. And I realize that the love flowing through, in, and around me and all things is one vast all-enveloping essence and force emanating from the living God.
And so it is. Amen.
Keep the faith!

Love & Security - Dr. Ernest Holmes
Today I bestow the essence of love upon everything. Everyone I meet shall be lovely to me. My soul meets the soul of the Universe in everyone. This love is a healing power touching everything into wholeness.
The Law of Good is flowing through me. I am one with the rhythm of Life. There is nothing to be afraid of. There is nothing to be uncertain about. God is over all, in all, and through all. God is right where I am. I am at peace with the world in which I live. I am at home with the Divine Spirit in which I am immersed.
And so it is.
Amen.

My Eyes Are Open, Now I See
Credit to Dr. Ernest Holmes:
My eyes are opened more widely, and I look out upon a broader horizon. Across all the experiences I may have had which were limited or unpleasant, I now see the rosy hue of a new dawn.
Letting go of that which is little, I now enter into a larger concept of life. Dropping all fear, I entertain faith.
Realizing that every form of uncertainty is seeing only in part, I open my spiritual eyes to that which is wholeness. As I do this, the limitation, the fear, and the doubt slip away from my experience, taking their departure in quietness and in peace.
I turn to that which is greater and better and fuller ... the eternal life of happiness and of peace. My eyes are open to the breadth and the height and depth of that life which is God, that life which is good.
And so it is.
Keep the faith!

God's Perfection Within Me - Dr. Ernest Holmes Affirmation
The Master Mind Jesus: "Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven [within you] is perfect."
There is one Life, that Life is God, that Life is my life now. This Life circulates through me. It animates my whole being.
Whatever may seem to be to the contrary in my body is now made whole as I identify it with pure Spirit.
I open my mind as a channel for the realization of the Divine Presence and I affirm and accept it. Nothing within me can deny or reject it.
Because God is perfect, I am perfect.
I accept the wholeness of Spirit with complete conviction, identifying myself and everything that I am with the harmony, the perfection, and the wholeness of the life of God.
And so it is.
Keep the faith!

I Believe In My Prayer And The Answer To It
In the book, “A New Design For Living,” written by Dr. Holmes and Willis Kinnear, Dr. Holmes defines 4-Steps of spiritual mind treatment. Please read these carefully and focus on the words used in each “defined process” of the 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.
Special Note: Everyone can learn to write, speak, think, spiritual treatment. Use words that are specific, definite, affirmative and describe the result as being real, now.
Keep the faith!

G-d's Plan Is Abundance
Credit to Dr. Ernest Holmes:
I am endowed with absolute control over my thinking. I know my thoughts are productive and do produce actual experiences in my life. I have no fear of lack or limitation in any form, because I know God's plan is abundance. That abundance is my supply. I cannot be deprived of God's supply. No person, place or thing can interfere with the flow of Divine Substance manifesting in my life as my own wealth. Omnipresent Substance is everywhere, evenly present. It is the source of everything which is. The Source of this Substance is MY Source and I am now directing my thought only to THAT Source. I see myself receiving ALL the Supply I shall ever need or want. I identify myself with this Supply and give thanks for it.
And so it is.
Keep the faith!

I Discover A New Freedom
Credit to Dr. Ernest Holmes:
Today I practice being myself, and seek to reveal more fully the miracle of Life.
I discover a fuller delight in living, and in the wonder of Being that continually wells up within me.
I think simply and directly from the center of my being, which is G-d, the living Spirit.
I enter into the faith of believing, the joy of knowing and the act of living - which proclaim the one Power and the one Presence in all things.
Today, as a child would, I accept this Presence that responds to me in a personal, warm and colorful way. It fills me with vitality, opens my mind to greater vistas, and imbues me with a love for all life.
As I now accept my partnership with the Infinite I discover a new freedom.
My thoughts soar, my experiences expand and unbounded joy fills my being.
And so it is.

Claim Your Wholeness
Credit to Dr. Ernest Holmes:
I now affirm that every organ, action and function of my physical body is animated by the living Spirit.
There is one perfect Mind directing my thoughts, one complete Wholeness sustaining my being, one Divine circulation flowing through me.
By day and by night I realize that the Divine Life flowing through me is renewing every cell of my body after the image of Its own perfection. I give thanks for this silent Power which sustains me, and I say to my own mind: "You are to believe in this Power. You are to accept It. You are to let It flow through you, for you are one with It. There is no other power, no other presence and no other life; therefore, all the Power there is, all the Presence there is, and all the Life there is, is sustaining you now and will continue to sustain you."

CONSCIOUSNESS OF PROSPERITY
"If you want to demonstrate prosperity, you must have a consciousness of prosperity. If you want to demonstrate activity, you must have a consciousness of activity. No matter what we are or what we want to demonstrate, we must have a consciousness of that thing. Certain thoughts produce certain things, and an opposite thought neutralizes it and the like thought adds to it. ... Dr. Ernest Holmes, "Love and Law"
As I recognize that all that I can accept is mine, I can know that I can receive within my consciousness a greater prosperity and financial supply now. I know that there is no lack in the Universe ... no lack of any Good thing. Knowing that ideas are spiritual coin, I affirm that the right and perfect ideas come to me to demonstrate great prosperity in my life. I am awake, alert, and willing to serve in whatever capacity to accept and receive the Good that is mine. I realize that the Universe is filled with untold riches and opportunities. I know that as I unify in my mind with this idea and believe and accept that I am part of this unity of wealth and prosperity, greater opportunities for wealth and prosperity are opened for me. As I depend on Principle to open the doors of opportunity, my thoughts and beliefs are aligned with wealth, success and prosperity. I know that the Law can only give me what I am receptive to ... so therefore, no idea or thought of lack shall enter through the door of my consciousness ... wealth and only wealth is mine ... an ever-increasing wealth is mine ... now. And so it is.

Eliminating "seeming" obstructions
The Spirit has no past. It has never been bound by any external conditions. It has always been, and forever will remain, free and independent of conditions. I am of the essence of pure Spirit. I am one with God. I know there is no limitation operating in, around or through me. There is no burden of race belief obstructing me.
It makes no difference what happened yesterday, or what has happened in the past for me or for anyone. My word is a law of elimination of all beliefs and obstructions, no matter where they may come from. I am not bound by anything that has ever happened. The Spirit is creating everything new in my life today. I am free and unfettered. I dwell in the secret place of the most High. There is no fear, no uncertainty, no hesitation, no doubt.
Everything that I do shall prosper. The doorway of opportunity is open before me today. Everything that I do, say and think is stimulated by Divine Intelligence, impulsed by Divine Love. I am guided, directed and guarded into right action. Today, goodness, abundance, happiness, joy, success and friendship are increasingly made manifest in my experience.
And so it is.

Keep the faith!
Rev. Bates
It makes no difference what happened yesterday, or what has happened in the past for me or for anyone. My word is a law of elimination of all beliefs and obstructions, no matter where they may come from. I am not bound by anything that has ever happened. The Spirit is creating everything new in my life today. I am free and unfettered. I dwell in the secret place of the most High. There is no fear, no uncertainty, no hesitation, no doubt.
Everything that I do shall prosper. The doorway of opportunity is open before me today. Everything that I do, say and think is stimulated by Divine Intelligence, impulsed by Divine Love. I am guided, directed and guarded into right action. Today, goodness, abundance, happiness, joy, success and friendship are increasingly made manifest in my experience.
And so it is.

I KEEP THE PROMISE
I shall keep the promise that I have made to myself.
I shall never again tell myself that I am poor, sick, weak nor unhappy.
I shall not lie to myself any more, but shall daily speak the truth to my inner Soul,
telling It that It is wonderful and marvelous; that It is One with the Great Cause of all Life,
Truth, Power and Action.
I shall whisper these things into my Soul until it breaks forth into songs of joy
with the realization of Its Limitless possibilities.
I shall assure my Soul.

April 3, 2008 & What I Believe
The following was written by Dr. Ernest Holmes, author of "The Science of Mind" and founder of the Religious Science movement.

WHAT I BELIEVE
... by Dr. Ernest Holmes
I believe in God, the Living Spirit Almighty; one, indestructible, absolute and self-existent cause.
This One manifests Itself in and through all creation but is not absorbed by Its creation.
The manifest universe is the body of God; it is the logical and necessary outcome of the infinite self-knowingness of God.
I believe in the incarnation of Spirit in everyone and that all people are incarnations of the One Spirit.
I believe in the eternality, the immortality and the continuity of the individual soul, forever and ever expanding.
I believe that Heaven is within me and that I experience It to the degree that I become conscious of it.
I believe the ultimate goal of life to be a complete emancipation from all discord of every nature, and that this goal is sure to be attained by all.
I believe in the unity of all life, and that the highest God and the innermost God is one God.
I believe that God is personal to all who feel this indwelling Presence.
I believe in the direct revelation of Truth through the intuitive and spiritual nature of the individual, and that any person may become a revealer of Truth who lives in close contact with the indwelling God.
I believe that the Universal Spirit, which is God, operates through a Universal Mind, which is the Law of God; and that I am surrounded by this Creative Mind which receives the direct impress of my thought and acts upon it.
I believe in the healing of the sick through the power of this Mind.
I believe in the control of conditions through the power of this Mind.
I believe in the eternal Goodness, the eternal Loving-Kindness, and the eternal Giving-ness of Life to all.
I believe in my own soul, my own spirit and my own destiny; for I understand that the life of all is God.
And So It Is.
Keep the faith!

March 12, 2008 & Believe That It Is
Dr. Holmes writes on page 338 of The Science of Mind: "UNTIL WE BELIEVE THAT IT IS, WE ARE BELIEVING THAT IT IS NOT! It is all a matter of belief, but belief is scientifically induced into a subjective state, through conscious endeavor."

This treatment is for success and prosperity. I believe in success and prosperity for me and for everyone. I know and I know that I know, that God, Infinite Spirit, has created an abundant Universe. I know that the Spirit of God, is within me and within all people. I know that as this is so, God responds to me and to everyone. I believe and I accept that success and prosperity are effects of the Spirit expressing Itself in me, as me, and for me. I know that all things and all people necessary for my success and prosperity to unfold with grace and ease are attracted to me now. I know that Spirit is Intelligence and intelligently works invisibly for me in all things Good that I choose to accomplish. I accept success for me now and for all who desire success. I accept prosperity now and for all people who desire prosperity. I know that God does not deny, withhold, or delay ... all is done in my consciousness, and my consiousness is filled with the Power of God, now. I feel a deep sense of gratitude and a genuine sense of appreciation for the success and prosperity that is mine now. I release these words knowing that they are filled with the Power of God and nothing or no one can hinder their complete unfoldment. And so it is.
Keep the faith!

March 10, 2008 & Receiving the Answer
This treatment was written by Dr. Ernest Holmes, author of "The Science of Mind" and a true American mystic:
I know that there is an inner Presence in everything. I know that this Presence responds to me. I know that everyone is an incarnation of God, that the living Spirit breathes through all. I recognize this Spirit and It responds to me. I realize that everything is alive, awake and aware with Spirit.
I commune with this Divine Presence. The Spirit within me reaches out and communes with the Spirit in everything and everyone I contact. It is the same Spirit in all, over all, and through all.
I have a deep realization that I am surrounded by an infinite Law which receives the impress of my thought and acts creatively upon it. I am conscious of my ability to use this Law, to direct it for specific purposes, for myself and others. There is nothing in me that can deny, limit, obstruct, divert or in any way hinder my use of this Law. It is within my own mind, because God is right where I am.
In calm confidence, in perfect trust, in abiding faith and with complete peace, I let go of every problem, as a problem. I receive the answer as fulfillment.
And so it is.
Keep the faith!
