FAQ's about The Light and Prayer List

• Light
  • What is the Light?

    The “Light” is another term for the Holy Spirit, one of the basic concepts used in the teachings of MSIA. The Light is the manifestation of God on this level. It’s what God uses when It wants to get something done here on Earth.

  • What is Sending the Light?

    Sending the Light is a direct form of prayer to God that happens immediately when a name is added to the prayer list. It is very powerful. We’re doing it as a straight, direct contact with God, instead of interceding and using ourselves to explain everything to God, which dilutes the energy.

  • What is the value of Sending the Light to people?

    The Light has the ability to change a situation for the highest good. So the value is right there. However, the greatest value is that it comes back to the person who sends the Light. The person that’s having it sent to them may not even be aware that it was done for them, but the one who did it has done the greater love. The blessing the person gets in return is remarkable. It doesn’t come back in a way that you can predict; it comes back in a way that is beautiful.

  • If all things are happening according to the highest good and in perfect timing, why send the Light?

    Sending the Light for the highest good of all concerned increases the positive energy in a situation and activates the action of the spiritual Light, allowing for the highest good possible to take place.

  • Many times when sending the Light, I say “God bless you.” Does this help?

    Yes, it sure does. Thoughts are transmitted over long distances and we are affected on many different levels by them. Sending the thought “I love you” or “God bless you” can work wonders.

  • My concern with the prayer list is that maybe nobody’s sending the Light.

    If you have that type of concern, that’s exactly what will take place. But if your thought is that three people doing it is sufficient for any universe, that will be sufficient to do it. It’s done to you as you think in your heart.

  • My dog has been very sick, and I sometimes tread a fine line between having a desired outcome for her (according to me) and keeping in mind “the highest good of all concerned.”

    Having a desired outcome is not in conflict with her highest good, as God listens to that prayer for the highest good of your dog.

  • What if I can’t be neutral in a situation, but I still would like the Light to be there for the highest good?

    Just ask for the Light to be there for the highest good. YOU aren’t doing it; GOD is doing it. You are simply asking.

  • What are Light columns?

    This is how you can place a Light column: for the highest good, envision or intend a funnel or pillar of Light from the highest place you can imagine, going right through you and into the very core of the earth. That is all you need to do.

  • I’ve heard you talk about the magnetic Light and the Light of the Holy Spirit. What is the difference?

    The magnetic Light relates to and can operate only in the levels below Soul. The Light of the Holy Spirit exists on the levels of Soul and above. It can and does come into the lower levels, riding on the magnetic Light as a vehicle. Some of the ways you can know the difference between the two is that the Holy Spirit will never inflict itself on anything or anyone. It comes only where invited, and it operates for the highest good of all concerned. When you are doing anything different from that, trying to get someone to do something the way you want it done, trying to control the outcome of a situation, etc. you are dealing with the magnetic Light, and there are always strings attached. When you stay out of areas of control and ask always for the highest good of all concerned, you are more likely to be dealing with the Light of the Holy Spirit.

  • Is the magnetic light good or bad?

    The magnetic light is neither good nor bad. It’s what the spiritual Light rides on when it comes into this level. In that case, it’s being used for the highest good. If it used with the intent to control or manipulate a person or a situation towards a certain outcome, then it no longer operates with the spiritual light for the highest good.

• Prayer List
  • What is the MSIA Prayer List?

    The MSIA Prayer list is place where people can ask that the Light of the Holy Spirit (the “Light”) be sent to a person, animal, place, situation, etc. for the highest good. By submitting a name to the MSIA prayer list, there will be ministers and others praying, asking that the Light be sent for the highest good.

  • Who can I put on the Prayer List?

    You can put a person, animal, place, situation, or anything else you want on the prayer list. It is best to be as specific as possible. For example, Aunt Betty Smith is better than “Aunt Betty.”

  • Can I see the Prayer List?

    The actual MSIA prayer list is kept confidential to respect the privacy of those on it. It is sent to some MSIA ministers and students who maintain its privacy. However, anyone can send the Light to the prayer list itself (and many do). Sending the Light to the prayer list has tremendous value.

  • Does it help to include the reason for the name going on the prayer list?

    It is unnecessary to divulge the reason (problem, situation) for putting a name on the prayer list. The name is enough. The Light will act for the Highest Good of the person, group, or place being prayed for regardless of the reason.

  • Does there have to be a problem or trouble in order to put someone on the prayer list?

    Not at all. You can put yourself on the prayer list for clarity on making a decision, or just because you want a blessing in your life. You can submit the name of a city where there is trouble or natural disaster, or situation that could use an extra boost of support. There is probably no wrong way or reason to make a submission to the MSIA prayer list for the Highest Good of all concerned.

  • How often do people send Light to the Prayer List?

    Ministers and other people are sending Light to the Prayer list every day. You don’t even need to know what people or situations are on the List to send Light to it. You can simply think of the Light with the idea of sending List and it’s done.

  • How long does a name stay on the prayer list?

    A new prayer list is created each Monday.
