The Center’s Ministry of Prayer Team is comprised of a group of Ministers and Practitioners who are dedicated to serving the spiritual needs of everyone who may seek help. Because Ministers must first become Practitioners, for the remainder of this article all of the Minister of Prayer members will be referred to as Practitioners.
Every written prayer request, letter, telegram, fax, email or telephone message is answered by a member of the Ministry of Prayer. Once a request is received, all members of The Ministry of Prayer will hold the request in prayer for 7 consecutive days. A letter of inspiration with affirmations is sent in response to each prayer request.
“Prayer is essential, not to the salvation of the soul, for the soul is never lost; but to the conscious well-being of the soul that does not understand itself. There is a vitality in our communion with the infinite, which is productive of the highest good. As fire warms the body, as food strengthens us, as sunshine raises our spirits, so there is a subtle transfusion of some invisible force in such communion, weaving itself into the very warp and woof of our own mentalities. This conscious commingling of our thought with Spirit is essential to the well-being of every part of us.” Ernest Holmes, The Science of Mind, page 152.
How It Works:
We believe that there is ONE Universal Spirit, Divine Mind, Ultimate Truth—God, and that God is individualized in all people and so there can be no separation between the prayer giver and the person seeking help. Therefore, our “Affirmative Prayer” works whether the request comes from someone many thousands of miles away or from someone who requests an in-person prayer.
