The Lord's Prayer
Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy Name,
thy kingdom come,
thy will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory,
for ever and ever. Amen.

The Importance Of Having Empathy For Other People.

The Law Of Love, The Golden Rule, And The Need For Empathy
The Law Of Love Is God's One Law For All Mankind: "Love All People As
Yourself." - (Details Below)
The Golden Rule Puts The Law Of Love Into Action: "Treat Others As You
Would Like To Be Treated." -(Details Below)
Empathy is "the ability to imagine oneself in another.s place and
understand the other.s feelings, desires, ideas, and actions."
In order to follow The Golden Rule, we must have empathy so we can imagine
how we would like to be treated if we were in the other person's
situation.- (Details Below)

The Bible Gives Us The Law Of Love - "Love All People As Yourself."
THE LAW OF LOVE
"Love All People As Yourself."
The Bible states it very clearly, so there can be no possible
misunderstanding: the Law Of Love fulfills the whole Law of God.
THE LAW OF LOVE
_____________________________________________________________
For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, "You shall love your
neighbor as yourself." (Galatians 5:14 RSV)
_____________________________________________________________
And who is your neighbor? Everyone is your neighbor. This is shown in the
Parable Of The Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25-37).
Therefore, "Love your neighbor as yourself" really means "Love all people
as yourself," because everyone is our neighbor.
But what about love for God? Doesn't that come first? Yes, but God counts
our love for others as if it were love for Himself. So when we love
others, we are loving Him at the same time. This is shown in the Parable
Of The Sheep And The Goats (Matthew 25:31-46, in the Appendix below). And
we cannot claim to love God until we first love our fellow man.
_____________________________________________________________
If any one says, "I love God," and hates his brother, he is a
liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen,
cannot love God whom he has not seen. (1 John 4:20 RSV)
_____________________________________________________________
But what about The Ten Commandments? Aren't we supposed to obey them? Yes,
but The Ten Commandments are only an approximation of what God wants from
us. The Pharisees obeyed all of the Ten Commandments, yet God was very
displeased with them because they did not have love. The exact thing God
wants from us is that we should love our neighbor as we love ourselves.
Everything else depends on this.
But what about holiness? Aren't we supposed to avoid improper sex, etc.
and be pure and chaste? Aren't we supposed to deny our physical selves in
order to strengthen our spiritual selves? Maybe so, but our feeble
attempts at being holy do not even come close to God's high standards. To
Him, they are like filthy rags (Isaiah 64:6). But if we have love for
others, God will overlook a multitude of our sins (1 Peter 4:8). And if we
forgive others of their offenses against us, He will forgive us of our
offenses against Him (Matthew 5:14-15). Love makes everything holy, since
God is love (1 John 4:8, 4:16).
So all of God's requirements for mankind boil down to this one command:
"YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF." If you truly do this one thing
only, it is enough. It then doesn't matter if you fall short on some of
the dozens of others. But if you do not do this, all of the others
together are not enough. This is the big one, more important than all the
others combined.
_____________________________________________________________
If you really fulfil the royal law, according to the scripture,
"You shall love your neighbor as yourself," you do well.
(James 2:8 RSV)

The Golden Rule Puts The Law Of Love Into Action
THERE IS ONE UNDERLYING RULE FOR RIGHT AND WRONG BEHAVIOR:
"TREAT OTHERS AS YOU WOULD LIKE TO BE TREATED."
This rule is known as "The Golden Rule." Some version of it is found in
most religions, yet it establishes no particular religion; it leads to
harmony among all people; it is the foundation of Democracy; and it leads
to the political goal of "Greatest Good For The Greatest Number, With
Basic Rights For All."
The Original Statement Of the Golden Rule
"Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to
you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets."
Jesus, as quoted in Matthew 7:12 (KJV)
To apply the Golden Rule, simply ask yourself "How would you like to be
treated in the same situation?" Then treat the other person that way. TWO
NOTES:(1) When we say, "Treat others as you would like to be treated,"
this includes all other people, not merely those who happen to be with us
at the moment. So we must also consider the impact of our actions on all
other people, not only those immediately before us. (2) When we say "in
the same situation," this means that our roles and personalities must be
mentally reversed, so that we see the situation from the other person's
point of view, trying to understand his needs and desires as if they were
our own. Also, we need to apply the "Rational Man" standard,
long-established in Law. The Golden Rule does not require us to grant
irrational requests made by insane persons.
If you need further help in applying the Golden Rule to your particular
situation, please visit Golden Rule Solutions.
In Order To Follow The Golden Rule. We Must Have Empathy
So We Can Imagine How We Would Like To Be Treated If We Were In The Other
Person's Situation.
Empathy is "the ability to imagine oneself in another.s place and
understand the other.s feelings, desires, ideas, and actions." Source:
Alexandria Research Associates Combined Public Domain Database Of Accepted
Facts. See http://www.alexandriaresearchassociates.com Empathy can also be
described as "tuning in to the other person."

Prayer For You
Prayer 4 You: To Receive The Gift Of Empathy.
Empathy is "the ability to imagine oneself in another.s place and
understand the other.s feelings, desires, ideas, and actions."
Lord Jesus, now I raise my prayer to You,
That readers of these words may soon receive,
Your wondrous holy gift of Empathy.
And with this gift, I pray they will begin
To see and know and feel the inner thoughts
Of those whom You will send upon their way.
And then I pray that those who have this gift
Will use it well to help those whom You send.
In Jesus' holy name I pray, Amen.

Rededicate Your Life To Jesus Christ - With MP3 Audio Prayer
O Lord, I had You with me, and I strayed.
I turned my back on You and went away.
But now I see the error of my ways,
And now I want to turn again to you.
* * *
I pray that You will come into my life,
As Lord and Saviour, ruling over me.
I know that You are truly Son of God,
I know that You have risen from the dead,
I know that only You can save my soul.
I need Your guidance, and I need Your love;
I want to follow everywhere You lead.
I truly do repent of all my sins;
I feel remorse for evil I have done;
I know that only You can make me clean.
I turn my back on sin and look to You.
I am forgiving all who did me harm,
As You are now forgiving all my sins.
And now as I commit myself to You,
I pray that You commit Yourself to me.
I pray that You will take me as I am,
And draw me, step-by-step, into Your arms.
In Jesus' holy name I pray, Amen.

Benediction
I pray the Lord that He will lead your path
Away from the temptations all around.
I pray that when temptation lingers near,
The Lord will lead you not into its reach.
But if temptation grabs you as you pass,
I pray the Lord that you will struggle free.
In Jesus' holy name I pray, Amen.
Blessings to you in Jesus Christ our Lord.

Lyrics
"I'd Rather Have Jesus"
by Rhea F. Miller, 1922 (Public Domain)
I.d rather have Jesus than silver or gold;
I.d rather be His than have riches untold;
I.d rather have Jesus than houses or lands;
I.d rather be led by His nail-pierced hand
Refrain:
Than to be the king of a vast domain,
Or be held in sin.s dread sway;
I.d rather have Jesus than anything
This world affords today.
I.d rather have Jesus than men.s applause;
I.d rather be faithful to His dear cause;
I.d rather have Jesus than worldwide fame;
I.d rather be true to His holy name
He.s fairer than lilies of rarest bloom;
He.s sweeter than honey from out the comb;
He.s all that my hungering spirit needs;
I.d rather have Jesus and let Him lead

Prayer For You
"Go Ahead And Give Yourself To Christ"
NOTE: When you read this prayer, try to imagine hearing my voice as I
speak it to you. In this way, the prayer is reactivated, and it
the same as if I were actually praying for you at that moment.
(Just like television prayers are reactivated when you watch
them, although the videotape may have been shot years before.)
Perhaps you are a Christian even now,
You go to church and try to do your best,
You try to put His teachings in your life,
But still you do not feel that He is yours.
You do not feel the closeness that you crave.
If this is you, then say this prayer with me:
* * *
O Lord, I want you closer in my life,
I want you more to be a part of me.
I want the best relationship with you,
That anyone on earth could ever have.
I know that, "as we give, we shall receive,"
And so I now do give myself to you,
In full completeness, holding nothing back.
I'm yours, so you may use me as you will,
And take whatever things you want from me.
And now that I did give myself to you,
I pray that you will give yourself to me,
As bridegroom gives himself to his new bride.
In Jesus' holy name I pray, Amen.

Lyrics
"I'd Rather Have Jesus"
by Rhea F. Miller, 1922 (Public Domain)
I.d rather have Jesus than silver or gold;
I.d rather be His than have riches untold;
I.d rather have Jesus than houses or lands;
I.d rather be led by His nail-pierced hand
Refrain:
Than to be the king of a vast domain,
Or be held in sin.s dread sway;
I.d rather have Jesus than anything
This world affords today.
I.d rather have Jesus than men.s applause;
I.d rather be faithful to His dear cause;
I.d rather have Jesus than worldwide fame;
I.d rather be true to His holy name
He.s fairer than lilies of rarest bloom;
He.s sweeter than honey from out the comb;
He.s all that my hungering spirit needs;
I.d rather have Jesus and let Him lead

The Lord's Prayer
Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy Name,
thy kingdom come,
thy will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory,
for ever and ever. Amen.

Prayer 4 You: To Receive The Gift Of Empathy.
Empathy is "the ability to imagine oneself in another.s place and
understand the other.s feelings, desires, ideas, and actions."
Lord Jesus, now I raise my prayer to You,
That readers of these words may soon receive,
Your wondrous holy gift of Empathy.
And with this gift, I pray they will begin
To see and know and feel the inner thoughts
Of those whom You will send upon their way.
And then I pray that those who have this gift
Will use it well to help those whom You send.
In Jesus' holy name I pray, Amen.

Prayer For You
"Go Ahead And Give Yourself To Christ"
NOTE: When you read this prayer, try to imagine hearing my voice as I
speak it to you. In this way, the prayer is reactivated, and it
the same as if I were actually praying for you at that moment.
(Just like television prayers are reactivated when you watch
them, although the videotape may have been shot years before.)
Perhaps you are a Christian even now,
You go to church and try to do your best,
You try to put His teachings in your life,
But still you do not feel that He is yours.
You do not feel the closeness that you crave.
If this is you, then say this prayer with me:
* * *
O Lord, I want you closer in my life,
I want you more to be a part of me.
I want the best relationship with you,
That anyone on earth could ever have.
I know that, "as we give, we shall receive,"
And so I now do give myself to you,
In full completeness, holding nothing back.
I'm yours, so you may use me as you will,
And take whatever things you want from me.
And now that I did give myself to you,
I pray that you will give yourself to me,
As bridegroom gives himself to his new bride.
In Jesus' holy name I pray, Amen.

Rededicate Your Life To Jesus Christ - With MP3 Audio Prayer
O Lord, I had You with me, and I strayed.
I turned my back on You and went away.
But now I see the error of my ways,
And now I want to turn again to you.
* * *
I pray that You will come into my life,
As Lord and Saviour, ruling over me.
I know that You are truly Son of God,
I know that You have risen from the dead,
I know that only You can save my soul.
I need Your guidance, and I need Your love;
I want to follow everywhere You lead.
I truly do repent of all my sins;
I feel remorse for evil I have done;
I know that only You can make me clean.
I turn my back on sin and look to You.
I am forgiving all who did me harm,
As You are now forgiving all my sins.
And now as I commit myself to You,
I pray that You commit Yourself to me.
I pray that You will take me as I am,
And draw me, step-by-step, into Your arms.
In Jesus' holy name I pray, Amen.

In Jesus' holy name I pray, Amen.

FAIREST LORD JESUS - Anonymous, from Munster Gesangbuch, translated by
Joseph A. Seiss - Public Domain
Fairest Lord Jesus,
Ruler of all nature,
O Thou of God and man the Son:
Thee will I cherish,
Thee will I honor,
Thou my soul's glory, joy, and crown.
Fair are the meadows,
Fairer still the woodlands,
Robed in the blooming garb of spring.
Jesus is fairer,
Jesus is purer,
Who makes the woeful heart to sing.
Fair is the sunshine,
Fairer still the moonlight,
And all the twinkling starry host.
Jesus shines brighter,
Jesus shines purer,
Than all the angels heaven can boast.
Amen.

Normal, Everyday Life In Harmony With The Will Of God: Day-To-Day Living
With The Lord.
Normal, Everyday Life In Harmony With The Will Of God
Day-To-Day Living With The Lord
By Rev. Bill McGinnis, Director - LoveAllPeople.org

Some people prefer a private type of religion, where they simply want to
live their lives in a normal everyday manner, in harmony with the will of
God. They don't want to save any souls, or lead any movements, or be a
conspicuous "religious person" in any way.
Such people are acceptable to God, although He would prefer that they take
a more open active stance for Him. And He reserves his best blessings for
those who openly and boldly express their love and devotion to Him.
Nevertheless, He loves and accepts those who simply want to live in
private accord with His will for them.
For these people, here is all they really need to do: THE BARE MINIMUM . .
.
1. Accept Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Saviour.
Click HERE! to do that. => http://www.loveallpeople.org/gateway.html
Jesus promises that everyone who believes in Him will have eternal life.
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his
only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth
in him should not perish, but have everlasting
life." (John 3:16 KJV)
2. Follow the Golden Rule, which is, "Treat Others The Way You Would Like
To Be Treated."
Click HERE! to find out more about the Golden Rule =>
http://www.loveallpeople.org/golden.html
Jesus teaches that all of God's law is embodied in the Golden Rule.
The Golden Rule
_____________________________________________________________
"Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to
you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets."
(Matthew 7:12 KJV)
_____________________________________________________________
If you do these two things alone, you will meet all of God's minimum
requirements. You will have a full and rich life on earth, and you will
have an eternity in heaven after you leave this life. You will NOT reach
your highest potential, and you will not receive the highest blessings.
(To achieve these things, you would need to seek Him actively and to
desire intensely to be ever-closer to Him at all times.) But you will be
okay. And for many people, this is all they seek.
IMPROVEMENTS OVER THE BARE MINIMUM . . .
Also Follow The Ten Commandments
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS (Restated for people outside of Biblical Israel)
1. "Do not put anything ahead of God your Creator."
2. "Do not make or worship idols."
3. "Do not take the name of God in vain."
4. "Take one day of complete rest each week."
5. "Honor your father and your mother."
6. "Do not commit murder."
7. "Do not commit adultery."
8. "Do not steal."
9. "Do not tell lies against anyone."
10. "Do not covet other people's possessions."
(Based on Exodus 20:1-17, restated in Deuteronomy 5:6-22.)

Prayer For You
"Go Ahead And Give Yourself To Christ"
NOTE: When you read this prayer, try to imagine hearing my voice as I
speak it to you. In this way, the prayer is reactivated, and it
the same as if I were actually praying for you at that moment.
(Just like television prayers are reactivated when you watch
them, although the videotape may have been shot years before.)
Perhaps you are a Christian even now,
You go to church and try to do your best,
You try to put His teachings in your life,
But still you do not feel that He is yours.
You do not feel the closeness that you crave.
If this is you, then say this prayer with me:
* * *
O Lord, I want you closer in my life,
I want you more to be a part of me.
I want the best relationship with you,
That anyone on earth could ever have.
I know that, "as we give, we shall receive,"
And so I now do give myself to you,
In full completeness, holding nothing back.
I'm yours, so you may use me as you will,
And take whatever things you want from me.
And now that I did give myself to you,
I pray that you will give yourself to me,
As bridegroom gives himself to his new bride.
In Jesus' holy name I pray, Amen.

Rededicate Your Life To Jesus Christ - With MP3 Audio Prayer
O Lord, I had You with me, and I strayed.
I turned my back on You and went away.
But now I see the error of my ways,
And now I want to turn again to you.
* * *
I pray that You will come into my life,
As Lord and Saviour, ruling over me.
I know that You are truly Son of God,
I know that You have risen from the dead,
I know that only You can save my soul.
I need Your guidance, and I need Your love;
I want to follow everywhere You lead.
I truly do repent of all my sins;
I feel remorse for evil I have done;
I know that only You can make me clean.
I turn my back on sin and look to You.
I am forgiving all who did me harm,
As You are now forgiving all my sins.
And now as I commit myself to You,
I pray that You commit Yourself to me.
I pray that You will take me as I am,
And draw me, step-by-step, into Your arms.
In Jesus' holy name I pray, Amen.

FAIREST LORD JESUS - Anonymous, from Munster Gesangbuch, translated by
Joseph A. Seiss - Public Domain
Fairest Lord Jesus,
Ruler of all nature,
O Thou of God and man the Son:
Thee will I cherish,
Thee will I honor,
Thou my soul's glory, joy, and crown.
Fair are the meadows,
Fairer still the woodlands,
Robed in the blooming garb of spring.
Jesus is fairer,
Jesus is purer,
Who makes the woeful heart to sing.
Fair is the sunshine,
Fairer still the moonlight,
And all the twinkling starry host.
Jesus shines brighter,
Jesus shines purer,
Than all the angels heaven can boast.
Amen.

The Lord's Prayer
Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy Name,
thy kingdom come,
thy will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory,
for ever and ever. Amen.

FEATURED SEGMENT: "Normal, Everyday Life In Harmony With The Will Of God:
Day-To-Day Living With The Lord."
Normal, Everyday Life In Harmony With The Will Of God: Day-To-Day Living
With The Lord.
Normal, Everyday Life In Harmony With The Will Of God
Day-To-Day Living With The Lord
By Rev. Bill McGinnis, Director - LoveAllPeople.org
To support us, please visit the advertisers on our pages.
Some people prefer a private type of religion, where they simply want to
live their lives in a normal everyday manner, in harmony with the will of
God. They don't want to save any souls, or lead any movements, or be a
conspicuous "religious person" in any way.
Such people are acceptable to God, although He would prefer that they take
a more open active stance for Him. And He reserves his best blessings for
those who openly and boldly express their love and devotion to Him.
Nevertheless, He loves and accepts those who simply want to live in
private accord with His will for them.
For these people, here is all they really need to do: THE BARE MINIMUM . .
.
1. Accept Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Saviour.
Click HERE! to do that. => http://www.loveallpeople.org/gateway.html
Jesus promises that everyone who believes in Him will have eternal life.
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his
only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth
in him should not perish, but have everlasting
life." (John 3:16 KJV)
2. Follow the Golden Rule, which is, "Treat Others The Way You Would Like
To Be Treated."
Click HERE! to find out more about the Golden Rule =>
http://www.loveallpeople.org/golden.html
Jesus teaches that all of God's law is embodied in the Golden Rule.
The Golden Rule
_____________________________________________________________
"Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to
you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets."
(Matthew 7:12 KJV)
_____________________________________________________________
If you do these two things alone, you will meet all of God's minimum
requirements. You will have a full and rich life on earth, and you will
have an eternity in heaven after you leave this life. You will NOT reach
your highest potential, and you will not receive the highest blessings.
(To achieve these things, you would need to seek Him actively and to
desire intensely to be ever-closer to Him at all times.) But you will be
okay. And for many people, this is all they seek.
IMPROVEMENTS OVER THE BARE MINIMUM . . .
Also Follow The Ten Commandments
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS (Restated for people outside of Biblical Israel)
1. "Do not put anything ahead of God your Creator."
2. "Do not make or worship idols."
3. "Do not take the name of God in vain."
4. "Take one day of complete rest each week."
5. "Honor your father and your mother."
6. "Do not commit murder."
7. "Do not commit adultery."
8. "Do not steal."
9. "Do not tell lies against anyone."
10. "Do not covet other people's possessions."
(Based on Exodus 20:1-17, restated in Deuteronomy 5:6-22.)

Prayer For You
"Go Ahead And Give Yourself To Christ"
NOTE: When you read this prayer, try to imagine hearing my voice as I
speak it to you. In this way, the prayer is reactivated, and it
the same as if I were actually praying for you at that moment.
(Just like television prayers are reactivated when you watch
them, although the videotape may have been shot years before.)
Perhaps you are a Christian even now,
You go to church and try to do your best,
You try to put His teachings in your life,
But still you do not feel that He is yours.
You do not feel the closeness that you crave.
If this is you, then say this prayer with me:
* * *
O Lord, I want you closer in my life,
I want you more to be a part of me.
I want the best relationship with you,
That anyone on earth could ever have.
I know that, "as we give, we shall receive,"
And so I now do give myself to you,
In full completeness, holding nothing back.
I'm yours, so you may use me as you will,
And take whatever things you want from me.
And now that I did give myself to you,
I pray that you will give yourself to me,
As bridegroom gives himself to his new bride.
In Jesus' holy name I pray, Amen.

Rededicate Your Life To Jesus Christ - With MP3 Audio Prayer
O Lord, I had You with me, and I strayed.
I turned my back on You and went away.
But now I see the error of my ways,
And now I want to turn again to you.
* * *
I pray that You will come into my life,
As Lord and Saviour, ruling over me.
I know that You are truly Son of God,
I know that You have risen from the dead,
I know that only You can save my soul.
I need Your guidance, and I need Your love;
I want to follow everywhere You lead.
I truly do repent of all my sins;
I feel remorse for evil I have done;
I know that only You can make me clean.
I turn my back on sin and look to You.
I am forgiving all who did me harm,
As You are now forgiving all my sins.
And now as I commit myself to You,
I pray that You commit Yourself to me.
I pray that You will take me as I am,
And draw me, step-by-step, into Your arms.
In Jesus' holy name I pray, Amen.

so you gain the benefits of both. You can find a church for yourself by

Benediction
I pray the Lord that He will lead your path
Away from the temptations all around.
I pray that when temptation lingers near,
The Lord will lead you not into its reach.
But if temptation grabs you as you pass,
I pray the Lord that you will struggle free.
In Jesus' holy name I pray, Amen.
Blessings to you in Jesus Christ our Lord.

FEATURED SEGMENT: "How To Give Your Blessings To Other People"
How To Give Your Blessings To Other People
By Rev. Bill McGinnis, Director - LoveAllPeople.org
Search our pages => http://loveallpeople.org/searchallpages.html
Welcome to you.
When we pray for someone, the conversation is between us and the Lord.
When we give our blessings, however, the conversation is between us and
the other person directly, with the Lord listening in, observing.
A blessing is the opposite of a curse. As Christians, we almost never want
to curse anybody for anything. In contrast, we should dispense our
blessings freely, whenever the Spirit leads us to do so.
There are two proven formats for giving a blessing to other people. You
can give it directly to them, using the word "May," followed by whatever
good things you want them to receive. Or you can invoke the Lord's help,
using the words "May the Lord," followed by whatever good things you want
Him to give them. Here are examples . . .
Examples Of Direct Blessings
"May you have a safe trip home, with no difficulties of any kind."
"May your days be filled with joy."
"May your pain subside and your illness go away."
"May you get the job you are trying to obtain."
"May your grief pass by like a cloud, and may peace return to your heart."
"May your heart be filled with joy at this moment of happiness for you."
Examples Of Blessings Which Invoke The Lord's Help
"May the Lord richly bless you as you continue your work in His behalf."
"May the Lord give you a safe trip home, with no problems of any kind."
"May the Lord wipe away your tears and give you peace of mind."
"May the Lord bring love and harmony into your home."
* * *
So don't be shy. Just go ahead and start blessing people, as the Spirit
leads. When Holy Spirit prompts you to give a blessing, do it! Just walk
right up to the other person, maybe shake their hand or touch them, look
them in the eye, and pronounce your blessing on them.
They will recognize immediatly that this is a major expression of love,
and they will *always* appreciate it.
Be sure to give Christ the glory by identifying yourself as a Christian.
The Lord *loves* to use imperfect vessels for His work, so don't feel
unworthy if you are less than a "perfect" Christian. You are *always*
authorized to dispense love to other people: ALWAYS!

How To Find A Real, Live Church
An online church is better than no church at all; but it is even better
for most Christians to actually belong to a real, live church, with real,
live people. Then, you can have your real church PLUS your online church,
so you gain the benefits of both. You can find a church for yourself by

Benediction
I pray the Lord that He will lead your path
Away from the temptations all around.
I pray that when temptation lingers near,
The Lord will lead you not into its reach.
But if temptation grabs you as you pass,
I pray the Lord that you will struggle free.
In Jesus' holy name I pray, Amen.
Blessings to you in Jesus Christ our Lord.

FAIREST LORD JESUS - Anonymous, from Munster Gesangbuch, translated by
Joseph A. Seiss - Public Domain
Fairest Lord Jesus,
Ruler of all nature,
O Thou of God and man the Son:
Thee will I cherish,
Thee will I honor,
Thou my soul's glory, joy, and crown.
Fair are the meadows,
Fairer still the woodlands,
Robed in the blooming garb of spring.
Jesus is fairer,
Jesus is purer,
Who makes the woeful heart to sing.
Fair is the sunshine,
Fairer still the moonlight,
And all the twinkling starry host.
Jesus shines brighter,
Jesus shines purer,
Than all the angels heaven can boast.
Amen.

The Lord's Prayer
Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy Name,
thy kingdom come,
thy will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory,
for ever and ever. Amen.

Matthew 6:9-13

FEATURED SEGMENT: "How To Give Your Blessings To Other People"
How To Give Your Blessings To Other People
By Rev. Bill McGinnis, Director - LoveAllPeople.org
Search our pages => http://loveallpeople.org/searchallpages.html
Welcome to you.
When we pray for someone, the conversation is between us and the Lord.
When we give our blessings, however, the conversation is between us and
the other person directly, with the Lord listening in, observing.
A blessing is the opposite of a curse. As Christians, we almost never want
to curse anybody for anything. In contrast, we should dispense our
blessings freely, whenever the Spirit leads us to do so.
There are two proven formats for giving a blessing to other people. You
can give it directly to them, using the word "May," followed by whatever
good things you want them to receive. Or you can invoke the Lord's help,
using the words "May the Lord," followed by whatever good things you want
Him to give them. Here are examples . . .
Examples Of Direct Blessings
"May you have a safe trip home, with no difficulties of any kind."
"May your days be filled with joy."
"May your pain subside and your illness go away."
"May you get the job you are trying to obtain."
"May your grief pass by like a cloud, and may peace return to your heart."
"May your heart be filled with joy at this moment of happiness for you."
Examples Of Blessings Which Invoke The Lord's Help
"May the Lord richly bless you as you continue your work in His behalf."
"May the Lord give you a safe trip home, with no problems of any kind."
"May the Lord wipe away your tears and give you peace of mind."
"May the Lord bring love and harmony into your home."
* * *
So don't be shy. Just go ahead and start blessing people, as the Spirit
leads. When Holy Spirit prompts you to give a blessing, do it! Just walk
right up to the other person, maybe shake their hand or touch them, look
them in the eye, and pronounce your blessing on them.
They will recognize immediatly that this is a major expression of love,
and they will *always* appreciate it.
Be sure to give Christ the glory by identifying yourself as a Christian.
The Lord *loves* to use imperfect vessels for His work, so don't feel
unworthy if you are less than a "perfect" Christian. You are *always*
authorized to dispense love to other people: ALWAYS!

Prayer For You
"Go Ahead And Give Yourself To Christ"
NOTE: When you read this prayer, try to imagine hearing my voice as I
speak it to you. In this way, the prayer is reactivated, and it
the same as if I were actually praying for you at that moment.
(Just like television prayers are reactivated when you watch
them, although the videotape may have been shot years before.)
Perhaps you are a Christian even now,
You go to church and try to do your best,
You try to put His teachings in your life,
But still you do not feel that He is yours.
You do not feel the closeness that you crave.
If this is you, then say this prayer with me:
* * *
O Lord, I want you closer in my life,
I want you more to be a part of me.
I want the best relationship with you,
That anyone on earth could ever have.
I know that, "as we give, we shall receive,"
And so I now do give myself to you,
In full completeness, holding nothing back.
I'm yours, so you may use me as you will,
And take whatever things you want from me.
And now that I did give myself to you,
I pray that you will give yourself to me,
As bridegroom gives himself to his new bride.
In Jesus' holy name I pray, Amen.

Blessings to you in Jesus Christ our Lord.

Rededicate Your Life To Jesus Christ - With MP3 Audio Prayer
O Lord, I had You with me, and I strayed.
I turned my back on You and went away.
But now I see the error of my ways,
And now I want to turn again to you.
* * *
I pray that You will come into my life,
As Lord and Saviour, ruling over me.
I know that You are truly Son of God,
I know that You have risen from the dead,
I know that only You can save my soul.
I need Your guidance, and I need Your love;
I want to follow everywhere You lead.
I truly do repent of all my sins;
I feel remorse for evil I have done;
I know that only You can make me clean.
I turn my back on sin and look to You.
I am forgiving all who did me harm,
As You are now forgiving all my sins.
And now as I commit myself to You,
I pray that You commit Yourself to me.
I pray that You will take me as I am,
And draw me, step-by-step, into Your arms.
In Jesus' holy name I pray, Amen.
