Course Outline:
The Doctor of Spirituality - Miracle of Prayer course is based on A Course In Miracles (ACIM). The lessons focus on discovering the workings of miracles through the act the of prayer. This course on is valuable for ministers who seek to become more God-centered.
This work is divided into two main sections:
Section I - Principles
This section re-defines traditional spiritual concepts in radical ways that reverses their meaning and presents you with an entirely new view of God and how to reach Him through prayer. These radical shifts in meaning are designed to counsel you on ways to remind yourself and others how to tap into the comfort and miracles promised by prayer.
Section II - Practices
Lessons in this section focus on prayers you can turn to when ministering to others or in times of trouble. There are prayers for miracles, prayers for healing mind and body, prayers for overcoming fears, prayers for forgiveness, for releasing guilt, for finding inner peace, for healing relationships, for finding true identity and purpose, for accepting all of life including tragic losses, prayers for being guided, prayers for special celebrations, prayers for peace, prayers for enemies, prayers for matrimony, prayers for funerals and more.
The conclusion of the course discusses the profound impact of prayer on personal well-being and how the practice is genuinely effective for creating miracles.
Instructions are included in the course for where to submit any assignments, quiz and essay questions. A Course Final you submit will be reviewed by Faculty, and your completion certificate/diploma will be issued by the ULC Seminary Board of Directors.
