Prayer Treatments

Seven Steps of Treatment

Some excerpts below are taken directly from "The Science of Mind" by Ernest Holmes

1. Recognition of the One Power
   • One must accept and recognize that there is a Universal Mind, Spirit, Intelligence, that is the origin of everything: It is First Cause. It is GOD. This Universal Life and Energy finds an outlet in and through all that is energized, and through everything that lives. There is One Energy back of all that is energized. This Energy is in everything. There is One Spirit back of all expression. That is the meaning of that mystical saying:

     "In Him we live, and move, and have our being." (Acts 17:28)

2. Unification of the One Power
   • I am one with the one power. I am made of energy, GOD is made of energy, we are one in the same. GOD is perfection, thus I am perfection. GOD is Spirit thus I am Spirit.
3. Choice
   • Man has the ability to choose what he will do with his life, and is unified with a Law which automatically produces his choice. What is your desire? Speak your word and direct your thoughts and know that it is already done. Every thought is a thing. Be careful not to think or say something negative. The Law is impersonal and will bring what you believe into your life. Thinking aright brings joy and happiness, wrong thinking brings sadness and pain. The Law is the same in both cases, it is your choice, choose wisely.
4. Imagination
   • See what you want or be what you want. Visualize yourself in the situation you want to be in. In your minds eye, see yourself possessing the object of your desires. Be specific. If you want money, ask for and mentally accept, money. If you want Love, visualize yourself surrounded by people showing you warm affectionate feelings.
5. Acceptance
   • Accept what you have asked for. Know that it is already yours. Your mental acceptances should be filled with conviction, warmth, color and imagination. The creative power responds to feeling more quickly than to any other mental attitude. In Christ's name, accept what you want for yourself right NOW!
6. Thanksgiving
   • Thank you Father Mother GOD, in Christ's name it is done!
7. Sabbath
   • Rest or leave it alone. Let the thought go. Move on to something else. You need only to ask once, for that which is already yours will manifest at the perfect right time and the perfect right place with the highest good for all involved.

When we treat we do not wish, we KNOW. We do not dream, we STATE. We do not hope, we ACCEPT. We do not pray, we ANNOUNCE. We do not expect something is going to happen, we BELIEVE THAT IT HAS ALREADY HAPPENED.
