Prayer Ministry

Practitioners are here to help.

We know that with God all things are possible. Therefore, whatever the problem, there is always an answer. When a problem defies our imagination, when we cannot see what went wrong, when we are willing to be healed of that within us which brought the situation about, a Practitioner can help. A Practitioner uses his/her own mind to get clear about you and your desire, so that the One Mind, in which we all live and move and have our being, will work positively in your life.

Introduction

What is a Practitioner?

An International Centers for Spiritual Living Practitioner is a person of high spiritual consciousness and deep understanding, trained in the study of the Science of Mind, and in the art, science and skill of Affirmative Prayer. Practitioners are dedicated to the cause of helping others, licensed to practice professionally, and bound by a high code of ethics to respect your privacy. Licensed Practitioners are listed in the back of Creative Thought® magazine.

What is Affirmative Prayer?

The use of Affirmative Prayer (sometimes referred to as a “Spiritual Mind Treatment” or just “Treatment”) in our daily lives gives us the privilege of choosing the direction of our thoughts, so we are in harmony with a Power greater than we are, and brings our experience out of the darkness of limitation. It is a very powerful tool used to change one’s thought, one’s belief, and one’s experience in a positive way.

Do I need a Practitioner?

Ask yourself the following questions:

  • Am I too close to my own problem to see the situation clearly?
  • Do I feel that something is blocking that which I am seeking?
  • Do I feel that I lack the experience with, the training in, or the understanding of the Science of Mind principles necessary to resolve the difficulty?

If any of these questions can be answered "Yes," a Practitioner can be very helpful to you.

Once I decide to seek the services of a Practitioner, what do I do next?

When you have decided to seek the services of a Practitioner, you can help by trusting the process:

  • Have faith in the Mind of God. It is Omnipotent and It does the work.
  • Contemplate your challenge and get clear on what you want to accomplish in consciousness.
  • Release your problem by giving it to your Practitioner.
  • Be ready to move forward in consciousness and accept a healing.
  • Endeavor to keep a positive attitude. Be expectant, accepting every good thing as part of your demonstration.
  • Be thankful. Give thanks for the wonderful change that is taking place in your life.

Must I be present in order for Affirmative Prayer to work?

No. Affirmative Prayers are just as effective if the Practitioner is in your presence, on the telephone, or on the other side of the world. There is only One Mind: God’s Mind and that Mind is everywhere present.

Can I do Affirmative Prayer for myself?

Yes. The Practitioner will also assist you in the process and correct use of Affirmative Prayer. For example, the following simple Affirmative Prayer alone can raise your consciousness and your level of acceptance of good in your life:

There is One Universal Life, and I am unified with It. I declare that within this Divine Life is contained all that I need for a healthy, happy, prosperous life. I accept this good gladly, turning away from any appearance to the contrary. In deep gratitude I give thanks – I let go and let God. And so it is.

After I receive the services of a Practitioner, what can I do to assist in the manifestation of my good?

  • Have faith in the healing power of the One Mind. Remember the words of Jesus: "The Father that dwelleth in me, He doeth the work."
  • Release your problem to God. If the problem comes up in your mind later, dismiss it with a simple affirmation, such as, "Through prayer all things are possible. God is resolving this situation NOW."
  • Use the Affirmative Prayer given to you by the Practitioner as many times as necessary every day.
  • Keep a positive attitude. Believe and know that God desires your demonstration just as much as you do.
  • Be grateful. Give heartfelt thanks to God for the wonderful changes that are taking place in your life.

Is there a cost to work with a Practitioner?

The work of the Practitioner is a professional service. The recommended practitioner fee for a Licensed Practitioner is $35 and $50 for a minister’s Practitioner Service. However, the actual fee is up to each center.

Recognize that treatment work is never withheld because of an inability to pay. Simply explain to the Practitioner, and ask for work in the area of prosperity so that you can start to heal that and be in a stable financial condition.
