In effective prayer, you know
that there is no place for anything but good in your life. You know that you do
not contradict what you have affirmed; that the statements you have made are
the Truth about you, and that they absolutely, positively, immediately, and
permanently uproot, cast out, and forever obliterate every negative condition
or situation to which they are directed. You never let yourself be misled by
appearances or (be) limited by the thinking of others. You accept for yourself
only those ideas, which you intuitively recognize as being Divine in their
source.
― Ernest Holmes Effective
Prayer
In the beginnings of our life, we
seek the source of health, calling, relationships, and money from a source or
sources outside of our own mind. Our process of sourcing is one of select and
reject until we either run out of options or settle for something, anything, just
so long as it works to provide some sort of comfort and peace of mind. But, as
long as we seek for what we want from surroundings and circumstances, we
subject ourselves to problems, challenges, difficulties, and discord whenever
we settle for less than we think we deserve.
When we finally awake to Reality,
most of us are aged and past the daily search for more stuff. We almost stumble
over the truth that we have kept hidden all those years by looking outward for
satisfaction rather than inward to our true self. Within our true self, our
spiritual union with Spirit, “We have to believe in the transcendent Power,
then we have to believe we can hook up with It because we are already one with
It. Then we have to believe that when we speak our word we are tapping the
source of infinite Harmony at a level higher than the finite discord, therefore
our word of authority will take precedence over the discord.” says Holmes in Creative
Thought.
If we receive the teaching that
we can source our prosperity directly from Spirit, we have infinite potential
at hand early on. Otherwise, we need to resource our prosperity from the outer
to the inner as soon as we realize our initial misdirection. We do this with
clear reasoning, called treatment, and called effective prayer. Beginning with Wholeness,
Spirit, or infinite Source as immediately and readily available to us, we declare
into mental being the perfect images of our fulfillment and vitality.
We continue with the thought, and
develop it to our highest understanding of possibility and then we pass it back
to Spirit, which as Law, manifests our word images as our empirical and
tangible reality. The process is simple. It sounds nice and reads like a
recipe. But it will never accomplish a thing for us if we don’t use it or don’t
believe that it works. We can transform unbelief into belief if we set
ourselves to practicing this process daily until we become so certain of
success that we simply relax and surrender ourself to it. Remember, no one ever
did anything with peak proficiency on the first try. This is powerful stuff. It
changes lives. It requires practice.
I source my prosperity direct
from transcendent Power, Spirit, which is the Life of my life, the Love of my
love, and the Intelligence that knows how when I know what. I decide now that I
deserve and have inherent perfect health, calling, relationship skills, and
complete financial freedom. My declaration moves Power into action into
manifestation. Gratefully I accept it and so it is.

“First
you ask definitely for direction, then it will enter your consciousness as a
definite thought; then in your turn you give it back the thought and it will
give you back the thing. It answers every question, solves every problem; it is
the solution to every difficulty.” Ernest Holmes
