"Appreciating the Power of Affirmative Prayer" with Rev. Lesia

1.26.2025 Inspirational talk at the Victoria Truth Centre
In this week’s talk, Rev. Lesia explores the transformative power of prayer through the lens of the New Thought movement. She guides us to understand how prayer, particularly Affirmative Prayer (or Spiritual Mind Treatment), is not transactional, but a conscious affirmation of the Truth of who we are. Drawing from powerful teachings by Ernest Holmes and Gregg Braden, we learn that the feeling behind our prayer is the key to unlocking its power. As Braden says, “The feeling is the prayer,” and in this talk, Rev. Lesia highlights how that feeling amplifies our connection to the limitless power within us.
Rev. Lesia also delves into the concept of appreciation versus gratitude, emphasizing how appreciation is a more expansive, attitudinal approach that opens our hearts to the infinite possibilities of the Divine. As Abraham Hicks teaches, appreciation has no resistance, and it aligns us more deeply with Source energy. We also learn how, through the practice of Affirmative Prayer, we can consciously affirm the Truth and activate our inherent power.
Rev. Lesia shares practical steps for incorporating Affirmative Prayer into our daily lives, using the 5-step treatment process: Realization, Identification, Declaration, Gratitude, and Release. The talk is an invitation to move beyond theory into practice, to embrace the wisdom that we are powerful, infinite beings, capable of shaping our lives with intentional, heart-centered prayer.
This week, take a moment to reflect: Are you practicing prayer as an affirmation of your Truth, or as a transaction? How can you more consciously appreciate the power of your own prayer? Tune in to explore how deepening your prayer practice can amplify your connection to the Divine and transform your experience of life.
