How We Pray
You are a beloved child of God, heir to His Kingdom. You deserve nothing less than all the good that God has provided for you. To receive it you must first turn to God, knowing that truth with all your heart. You must first set aside false doubt and make room for the Truth. Jesus said, "Therefore, I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours." - Mark 11:24.

We apply Positive Affirmative Prayer Treatment according to the teachings of Jesus Christ. Jesus said, "When you pray say: 'Father, hallowed be Thy Name. Thy Kingdom come. Give us each day our daily bread; and forgive us our sins for we ourselves forgive everyone who is indebted to us; and lead us not into temptation.'" (Luke 11:2-4) This is affirmative prayer. Every sentence is a positive statement of Truth. "Father, hallowed be Thy Name:" We acknowledge God, the Omniscient, Omnipotent Creator and Provider of all. Nothing exists without God. "Thy Kingdom come:" We affirm the Omnipresence of God. No one is ever alone for God is always Present in every place and situation. Only our human consciousness can turn away from God. Therefore, we focus our attention on the Presence of God through affirmation. "Give us each day our daily bread:" Having established conscious communion in spirit we state our needs as positive action. "and forgive us our sins for we ourselves forgive everyone who is indebted to us:" What we expect of God for ourselves, we must be willing to expect for all others. This may be difficult but it must be practiced for effectual prayer. When God forgives us of our sins we must do the same for others for no one is greater than God. To do less is arrogance. "and lead us not into temptation:" This is not supplication. God never leads us astray. Jesus said, "Watch and pray so that you do not fall into temptation."- Matt 26:41. It is a prayer affirmation that we will not lose sight of our purpose in prayer: to focus and connect with God, the Father. This affirmation is a promise to stay connected. How do we do this? - Paul wrote, "pray continually." Paul did not mean that we should drop to our knees in constant prayer. He was speaking of practicing constant awareness of God  Presence; staying focused on our purpose and not being led into temptation and sin.

Each prayer support request that Christ Center receives is placed in the Christ Center Chapel Prayer Box where it remains for 30 days. During that time a team of active prayer partners conduct daily affirmative prayer services. Prayer consciousness in the Christ Center Prayer Chapel is constant. When we pray, we affirm that the strength of the Holy Spirit moves through you that you never lose sight of your purpose, that you are raised to the Consciousness of Holy Spirit in Healing Light, Life, and Love. We are ever thankful that this is so and we affirm it in the Name and through the Power of Jesus Christ.

Christ Center receives prayer requests from various sources. Anyone in need of our services may contact us through this site, through direct email, and by regular U.S. Postal mail . When we pray, we expect those requesting prayer to pray with us. For those who provide an address we will send the affirmative prayers that we are using in the Christ Center Chapel.
