It has been said that the longest distance in the world is the 14 inches from the head to the heart.
Ernest Holmes taught that prayer treatment has two vital components… the intellectual process, where the words of the prayer constitute an argument that convinces you, that builds up your faith by a chain of logic and reason. That reason relies on your knowledge and understanding of the nature of yourself, and of God. This is where classes will build your mental database, giving you the building blocks of faith.
The second, vital component is sincere emotion, which flows from the faith, and which underscores your change of mind. It is the expression of your acceptance of Good, of gratitude, of joy, of understanding that God is infinitely giving. It is the sign that you have the faith to move whatever mountain is in front of you today.
When Jesus brought Lazarus out from the tomb, he uttered the simplest of all treatments. He said two key sentences; not exactly in the sequence that we teach, but who is going to argue with success?
He said, “Lord, I know that you hear me always.” He then said, “Lazarus, come out!” A pretty short treatment!
