ABSTRACT

This thesis deals with Theophostic Prayer Ministry(TPM) which has been developed by Edward M. Smith since 1996 in the United States of America. TPM is an excellent and effective ministry to renew minds with the help of Holy Spirit by replacing the lie based thinking into truth. As in cognitive therapy, the purpose of TPM is to replace core lies into truth. In cognitive therapy, changing core lies of a counselee is initiated by a counselor. TPM forms a contrast to cognitive therapy that the main role of a counselor is replaced by the Holy Spirit. As a result, dramatic recovery and healing of the counselee happens in TPM. In conclusion, TPM can be helpful for coping stresses by helping cognitive aspect when a person is exposed to a stressful environment.
