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.

Love Is The Answer To Every Problem

From "The Art of Being Yourself" by Dr. Frank Richelieu:

I know love is the answer to every problem or discomfort that exists or appears to exist. Therefore, I use love, not a sentimental, concerned love, but the love that stems from the center of my being and radiates out to make right my world and the world of those I love. I feel this love welling up within me. I see it penetrating and absorbing everything unlike itself. I can always depend upon this love, for it is a quality of Divine Mind. It is an ingredient of the universe. I breathe love in. I exhale love. I see love in every person and thing in my life. I recognize that harmony, peace and love are the very substance of my life and beingness.

And so it is!

The Spirit Is Moving Me To Accept ...

The Spirit is moving me to accept that Its Power, Its Presence, and Its Intelligence, is guiding me and directing me to a greater and greater experience of Good in All things. I know that this spark of the Divine within me is the very Life of me and this Life lives in me, as me, and through me eternally. There is not one moment that this Spirit is not moving me to accept the Good in everything that comes into my experience. I accept that Good is always present, always available and always recognized by me. Never am I without that which is required for me to express this Life of Spirit gloriously and dynamically in my life experience. I use the Power of the Infinite to choose, to create, and to live to the highest and best that I can imagine for myself. I live and express love, peace, joy, happiness, abundance and all things Good, freely and with grace and ease. I let the Spirit be revealed in all that I do, all that I am, and in all that I say ... always, in recognition that my Good comes from an infinite Source desiring to express more of Itself through me, as me, and for me. And in this recognition, this realization, I feel that deep sense of gratitude that moves me forever onward and upward into the highest realm of spiritual expression.
And so it is!

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!

Living in the Spirit of Good and More Good

As I recognize G-d, Infinite Presence, my mind is open to Its Power, Intelligence and Love. Knowing that G-d has created me in Its image and likeness, I unify with the attributes of G-d that give me the greatest sense of Its Presence in my life; Love, Joy, Happiness, Harmony and Peace. I realize that in G-d, I live and move and have my being ... and in this awareness I am filled with love, joy, happiness, harmony and peace. It can be no other way, for the Presence permeates All of Life and I am a part of It. Knowing that all these things are present for me, I readily accept good and more good in my life experience today. I accept an ever increasing good in all things that concern me. Taking my cue from Dr. Holmes, I know that I am surrounded by good, it presses against me, flows through and is always present with me. I accept this for me and for anyone who accepts this with me. It gives me great joy to know that this is the truth for all of us and that we can turn to G-d and accept more and more of the good that is available to us at any time, in any situation, for anything. I feel a great sense of gratitude smoothly caressing my heart and soul as I accept this now. And so it is!

Keep the faith!

I Believe In The Best

I rejoice and give thanks for the best of times and the best of everything ... and I let these words be my contract with G-d, Infinite Spirit. As I know that G-d only desires the very best of everything for me, I accept the best without hesitation. My mind is in tune with the Infinite Good and I imagine my life filled with the best of health, the best of friends, and the best of everything. I have divorced myself from my old ways of thinking and I truly and forever embrace only that in my mind which appeals to me and gives me a greater sense of enthusiasm and joy for living. In embracing the best, my mind is vitalized with an energy and faith that consistently demonstrates only Good in my experiences. In this consciousness, I love my life and I share this love with all those who I come into contact with, knowing that as I affirm the love in everyone and all things, I am expanding the capacity within myself to accept and believe in only the very best that G-d has prepared for me.
And so it is.

Keeping My Mind On The Prize

Today and every day I recognize my conscious union with G-d, Infinite Spirit. And in this putting G-d first, I am putting the focus on good and more good in my life experience. I know that as I unify in my mind, with G-d, I guarantee that my health, success, and prosperity are assured. I realize that the good that I desire is mine to accept, and so in the silence of my mind I choose the good that I accept for myself today; health, happiness, success, financial ease, and peace. I know that this good and so much more is unfolding in my life experience now from the infinite abundance of good that is available in the Universe. I accept these things and more for everyone who desires to experience them. Feeling this at-one-ment with G-d and the good, I stir up the spirit within me and feel a greater vitality and enthusiasm for life, now and always. I believe in the good as I believe in G-d's eternal Presence in my life. I accept these words as my truth, and I feel blessed by them as I open my mind to the magnificence and bliss that is mine now. And so it is.

Keep the faith!
