Prayer and how to use it! (Correctly)

 


PROACTIVE                     REACTIVE

Thought                                  action

Creator                                   creation

Idea                                        reality

Fact                                         opinion

Truth                                       lies

Clear                                       clouded

Sound                                     deaf

GOD                                        human


Identity > opinion > feeling

Gender > fact > has no emotion

Sexuality > natural > desire

 

They claim pride flags and steal the symbol of the Covenant with Noah as their demonic symbol of separation from God; like a broken upside down cross of false peace

 

The “pride” comes before the “fall” Proverbs 16:18 the tares of the antichrist reprobate mind body and spirit are just more of the same “old” world order protagonists.

 

Knowingly or unknowingly, they promote a broken-fallen satanic agenda to kill steal and destroy the natural moral fiber of God’s intensions. The Bible says “be not afraid” https://www.openbible.info/topics/dont_be_afraid

 

His punishments against the wicked destroyers of this world will not succeed. HIS will be done does away with all evil sin and death and cleanses all degradation from the earth. The wicked is not us. Relax. The sun and rain may fall on the just and unjust but so does the judgment.  God is generous with his blessings and also generous with his punishments. Romans 2:6 the punishment fits the crime. What the antichrist is going to do with his minions does NOT separate us from God. The full willful choice to take the mark of the beast and worship the antichrist puts the nail in the coffin for anyone. Matthew 10:28 28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

 

Side note:

How to worship in the spirit (express reverence and adoration for your love of God)

Music – songs that are Bible based or at least clean lyrics that are high vibrational and

uplifting and promote feelings of happiness and pleasantry  

TV – visuals images actions behavior that do the same as music-further the

Kingdom/glory and honor to God; clean positive uplifting motivational

encouraging; messages in the movies and shows should be something that’s

educational and entertaining; enchant – delight – inspire

Prayer – what you ask for and discuss should be in line with God’s will; not just asking for “stuff” for your own personal gain; again. God is NOT a demon/djinn/genie in a bottle! He is the Lord your God and provides like a spiritual Heavenly Father does! Not your personal butler to grant your every wish and give you riches and pleasures of the earth! It needs to be in the fashion of Jesus who taught us all how to pray (how to talk to God in Heaven)

 

Matthew 6:5 - teaches us how to communicate with our Heavenly Father

Romans 8:26 - the Holy Spirit intercedes and interprets our prayers to God

John 14:13-14 – whatever you ask in my name; this I will do, that the Father may be glorified by the Son.  If you ask me anything in my name, I will do it.” This concept is repeated a few more times in John 15:16 and John 16:23-24.

 

The Lord’s Prayer acts as its own prayer and a template of how to pray. It is intimate. Personal. A conversation. Not a wish list. It is a confirmation/affirmation-not a “needy” request list.

 

Matthew 6

Prayer

“And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.

“This, then, is how you should pray:

“‘Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
10 your kingdom come,

your will be done,
    on earth as it is in heaven.
11 Give us today our daily bread.

12 And forgive us our debts,
    as we also have forgiven our debtors.
13 And lead us not into temptation,
[a]
    but deliver us from the evil one.[b]

14 For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. 15 But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.

More ways to worship or show love/adoration

Your daily lifestyle when no one is looking and no one is around should be a direct reflection of your thoughts and actions when people are in your presence. If something is not appropriate for public consumption it may not be appropriate for private consumption. Your goals can include to be an active representative of God’s Kingdom. In other words, is there anything I’m doing now in this life on Earth that I would not do in the presence of God in Heaven? And if so, is it something I can remove from my life? Is it unhealthy? Is it necessary to my daily lifestyle or can I let it go or at least clean it up a bit?

 

It's coming to a point in life where you ask yourself, what the “hell” am I doing? No, really. Is what I’m doing something I would do in hell or something I would do in Heaven? In our case, biblically, New Jerusalem/New Earth…think about it.




So again, we want to be a positive reflection of a God-filled light to the world; not a negative reflection of a broken flesh riddled world.

 

Be forgiving of self and others; there is healing in forgiveness

 

Love and adoration in your heart strengthens self-control and promotes hope peace love and joy which all only come from God ; not the world or anything in it. No, not even people in and of the world can truly deliver unto your heart, these things. Galatians 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness

THE POWER OF PRAYER
Before we get started, let's break this down: what does "power" mean: it means the ability to act on the effect a charged energy and control it. "Prayer" means: a deliberate communication with a spiritual entity or deity. Put to all together and you have the ability to control your communication with your deity. This is a privilege, not a right. In our history, during the time B.C., we developed our own ways of communicating that proved to be inefficient, selfish, filtered and tainted.Today, nearly 2030 years later, A.D., we are still doing the same thing! So, how do we know if we are speaking respectfully to the Utmost Elder? This is not our parents or boss at work, this is The Parent and The Boss of Everything! But don't get nervous and say, forget it, I'm just going to do my own thing. It's easier than you think. Let's take a look.

  First-pray with a "child-like" faith - ASK. Remove your adult filters and just ask! Do you remember when you were a kid and went to ask for something? You had a heart filled with an idea and expectation of receiving, then you asked and believed you would get an answer. It may not have been the answer you were looking for, but you knew if you asked, you would get a response. If what you ask for is in line with what you need, you will get it right at the time you need it. Hard to believe, but so true it's scary and so simple, a child can do it :-)




 Second-pray with confidence and belief. Before you ask in prayer, ask yourself the same thing-do I need what I am asking for? Is it in line with the good will and betterment of self and others? How will what I ask for be applied and when? If you can answer this for yourself, then you can ask in prayer and it will be done for you.



Third-pray with humility and trust. This is the head spiritual energy and deity that is beyond your physical, material world. Remember who you are speaking to and welcome warm receive with open arms. Be humble and trust you will be heard. This is open conversation, but it is respectful conversation as well. Act in accordance with confession and thanks.


This is the full body of prayer. Grace will bathe you, you will be sufficient in all things at all times and you will be good in every plan you execute. Now be careful how you apply this. We live in a world where there is excess, too much of one thing goes to one person and we possess the power to spread happiness to others in need. When this "pay it forward" motion is continued, every person is reached and everyone receives the answer to their prayer in one way, shape, form or fashion or another. If a person asks for food, do you give them a rock? No, I hope that you would feed them. What you give to others as they ask of you is exactly what you will get in answer to your prayers. Okay, this is a little confusing, let me rephrase this. Prayers are answered through the actions of one person to another. Both parties have power: the power to ask, believe and trust and the power to fulfill, honor and uplift.

 So what happens next? You pray, the Holy Spirit delivers, you get a reply, open the "spiritual" envelope and hope for the best. An answer to our prayer is the most frustrating part of the process, because we are humans with child-like hearts and when we don't get the answer we expected, we are hurt, sometimes angry and feel let down. The only answers to prayer are:
1. YES-go and do good with what you have been granted.
2. NO-because it is not right for you and this is to protect you.
3. GO SLOW-this will be granted and given to you, in time, be patient and prepare, it is coming.
4. GROW-there is more you need to learn before what you seek can be given to you.
5. GO-prayer granted, you're welcome.

Power is the most amazing ability a human has. Prayer is the greatest form of other-world communication known to human kind. Put them together and you have the ability to actually "talk" to the Son of the Creator! And that is nothing short of a miracle. No matter your faith or background, culture or belief, this is an open line and all are welcome. So go ahead, give it a try and let Him know what's on your heart today.

Thank-You


Thank You, Lord
by: DeMaster Thomas

I asked God to take away my pain-
God said, No. It is not for me to take away, but for you to give it up.

I asked God to make my body healthy-
God said, No. Your spirit is whole; your body is only temporary.

I asked God to give me patience-
God said, No. Patience is a lesson of tribulation.
It is not granted; it is learned.

I asked God to give me happiness-
God said, No. I give you blessings; happiness is up to you.

I asked God to make my life easy-
God said, No. You must grow on your own.
But I will prune you to make you fruitful.
 
I asked God to give me all things that I might enjoy life-
God said, No. I gave you life so that you may enjoy all things.

I asked God to help me love others as much as He loves me.
And finally-God said, Yes. No questions asked.
