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: "How To Be More Pleasing To God And Also Be More
Successful In The World: Have More Empathy! "


The Two Big Benefits Of Having More Empathy For Other People:
(1) You Will Be A Better Person, More Pleasing To God; and (2) You Will Be
More Successful In The World.
(1) You Will Be A Better Person, More Pleasing To God.
The Purpose Of Life is to please God, and the most important thing is
Love. And the more empathy you have, the easier it is to love other
people.
Are you looking for a clear purpose in life? Do you wonder, "Why are we
here?" Do you think life is meaningless?

If so, then this is what you are looking for:

"The purpose of life is to please God."


How do we know this? Because the Bible tells us. Our purpose is the same
as the purpose of the whole universe: to please God.
_____________________________________________________________
Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power:
for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are
and were created. (Revelation 4:11 KJV)
_____________________________________________________________

"Yes, but maybe it's impossible to please Him," you might say. Wrong. He's
not that hard to please.
"For the Lord taketh pleasure in his people:"
(Psalms 149:4a KJV)

So what are some of the things we can do to please him? The Bible is full
of things that please Him and things which displease Him. Read the Bible
and see what He likes and what He doesn't like. Then give Him what He
likes and avoid giving Him what He doesn't like.
But the most important thing is love: He wants us to love other people the
same as we love ourselves.

LOVE FOR OTHERS FULFILLS ALL OF GOD'S LAW
The Bible states it very clearly, so there can be no possible
misunderstanding:

_____________________________________________________________
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).
But what about love for God? Doesn't that come first? Yes, but God accepts
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).

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 is subordinate to 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? Yes, 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 laws 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.

"Love For Others Fulfills The Law"

Galatians 5:14 (RSV)
For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, "You shall love your
neighbor as yourself."

Romans 13:8 (RSV)
Owe no one anything, except to love one another; for he who loves
his neighbor has fulfilled the law.

Romans 13:9 (RSV)
The commandments, "You shall not commit adultery, You shall not
kill, You shall not steal, You shall not covet," and any other
commandment, are summed up in this sentence, "You shall love your
neighbor as yourself."

Romans 13:10 (RSV)
Love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfilling
of the law.

James 2:8 (RSV)
If you really fulfil the royal law, according to the scripture,
"You shall love your neighbor as yourself," you do well.

Proverbs 10:12 (RSV)
Hatred stirs up strife, but love covers all offenses.

1 Peter 4:8 (RSV)
Above all hold unfailing your love for one another, since love
covers a multitude of sins.
--------------------------------------------------------

LOVE IS EVEN MORE IMPORTANT THAN FAITH
1 Corinthians 13:1-13 (RSV)
[1] If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I
am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.

[2] And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all
knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have
not love, I am nothing.

[3] If I give away all I have, and if I deliver my body to be burned, but
have not love, I gain nothing.

[4] Love is patient and kind; love is not jealous or boastful;

[5]it is not arrogant or rude. Love does not insist on its own way; it is
not irritable or resentful;

[6] it does not rejoice at wrong, but rejoices in the right.

[7] Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures
all things.

[8] Love never ends; as for prophecies, they will pass away; as for
tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away.

[9] For our knowledge is imperfect and our prophecy is imperfect;

[10] but when the perfect comes, the imperfect will pass away.

[11] When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I
reasoned like a child; when I became a man, I gave up childish ways.

[12] For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know
in part; then I shall understand fully, even as I have been fully
understood.

[13] So faith, hope, love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is
love.

(2) You Will Be More Successful In The World.
Below are listed "The Twenty-One Greatest Ideas In Human Relationships."
These ideas have all been tested over the years by many people in many
different situations, and they do truly lead to happiness and success in
the world.
Your ability to apply these ideas in your own life is directly
proportional to the amount of empathy you have for other people: the more
empathy you have, the greater ability you have to apply these ideas to
your own life.

THE TWENTY-ONE GREATEST IDEAS IN HUMAN RELATIONSHIPS


Compiled And Edited By Bill McGinnis
Based On Public Domain Sources

Public Domain



1. "LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF."
This is "The Law Of Love," God's most important commandment for all
mankind.

___________________________________________________________

For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, "You shall love your
neighbor as yourself." (Galatians 5:14 RSV)
_____________________________________________________________


This is the starting point, the Scriptural Imperative given many times in
the Bible. (See also Matthew 22:39, Mark 12:31, Luke 10:27, Romans
13:8-10, James 2:8, 1 Peter 4:8.)

And who is our neighbor? Every other person is our neighbor. (See Luke
10:29-37 for Jesus' answer to that same question.)

But sometimes, no matter how hard we try, we still don't like the other
person very much, or we still feel anger or resentment. What can we do in
cases like this ?


2. FORGIVE THE OTHER PERSON.
The most troublesome harmful emotion is the emotion of anger. You can
neutralize anger by making a direct conscious decision to forgive the
other person for whatever he may have done to cause you to feel anger
toward him.

("As you forgive, so you will be forgiven." See Matthew 6:14-15)


3. TREAT THE OTHER PERSON THE WAY YOU WOULD LIKE TO BE TREATED.
This the "The Golden Rule," our most important guideline for dealing with
other people.

_____________________________________________________________

"So whatever you wish that men would do to you, do so to them; for
this is the law and the prophets." (Matthew 7:12 RSV)
_____________________________________________________________


This is the most important rule in human relations. You can apply this
rule to almost any situation, and you will not be far wrong. The Golden
Rule puts The Law Of Love into action.
******************************************************* <><


The remaining eighteen ideas are specific applications of The Golden Rule
to different kinds of situations.


4. SMILE AND BE FRIENDLY.
You like it when people smile at you and behave in a friendly way. So do
the same to them.


5. BE COURTEOUS.
You like it when people are courteous to you. And you dislike it when
people are discourteous or rude to you. So be courteous in all of your
dealings with others.


6. BE TRUTHFUL, WITHOUT GIVING OFFENSE.

7. REMEMBER THE OTHER PERSON'S NAME, AND USE IT FREQUENTLY.
You like it when other people remember and use your name. So do the same
for them.


8. DON'T ARGUE.
Arguments are very negative. They poison good human relations. You don't
like it when someone argues with you. So don't argue with them. And if you
see an argument coming, take the appropriate steps to neutralize the
argument before it causes too much damage.


9. FIND AREAS OF AGREEMENT.
Relationships are much better when both people focus on their areas of
agreement rather than their areas of disagreement.

Most people agree on more things than they disagree on. So if you focus on
your areas of agreement with the other person, your areas of disagreement
will seem smaller and less important.


10. DON'T CRITICIZE.
Criticism builds hostility and bad attitudes. Criticism is poison to good
human relations.

You don't like to be criticized; so don't criticize other people. They
don't like it, either. And you won't help accomplish anything good by
criticizing.

As your mother should have taught you, "If you can't say something nice,
don't say anything at all."


11. SHOW HONEST APPRECIATION.
You like it when other people take the time and interest to recognize and
appreciate the good things you do. So do the same for them. Everyone does
some things worthy of appreciation. Find them, and recognize them in the
other person.


12. TRY TO SEE THE OTHER PERSON'S POINT OF VIEW.
You like it when the other person understands your point of view and can
see problems the way you see them. So do the same for him. Try looking at
the situation from the other person's point of view.


13. GIVE YOUR FULL ATTENTION TO THE OTHER PERSON WHEN HE IS TALKING.
You like it when people pay full attention to you when you are talking. So
do the same for them.


14. TALK ABOUT THE OTHER PERSON'S INTERESTS.
You like to have other people talk with you about your interests. So do
the same for them. Find out what things they are interested in, and steer
the conversation toward these things.


15. ADMIT YOU MAY BE WRONG.
This idea is surprisingly powerful and useful!

Here's what to say, whenever there is a disagreement as to a matter of
fact: "Now, I may be wrong about this. I frequently am wrong about things.
But this is the way it appears to me:" (And then state your beliefs.)

By admitting you may be wrong, and by admitting that you frequently are
wrong (You are, you know. We all are.), you almost force the other person
to admit that he, too, may be wrong! Then, with your egos out of the way,
you can both search objectively for the truth!

And if you really are wrong this time, it will be much less embarrassing
for you than if you had been stubbornly insisting that you were totally
right!


16. LET THE OTHER PERSON DO MOST OF THE TALKING.
You like it when people let you do most of the talking. So do the same for
them. It won't hurt you, and you might learn something.


17. LET THE OTHER PERSON TALK ABOUT HIMSELF.
You like to talk about yourself, don't you? We all like to talk about
ourselves! But restrain the urge, and let the other person talk about
himself, instead.


18. LET THE OTHER PERSON TAKE SOME CREDIT.
If something has worked out well, don't grab all the credit for yourself,
even if you think you deserve it all. Spread the credit around, share it
with the other people involved.


19. LET THE OTHER PERSON SAVE FACE.
The expression "saving face" means to maintain dignity, or not to look
like an idiot or a worthless person. Sometimes people do things which make
them look like an idiot or a worthless person. If you can rescue the other
person in such a situation, and help him maintain his dignity, you have
done a very good thing.

And maybe someone will do the same for you some day, when you need it
most! "As you do, so shall it be done unto you."


20. HOLD THE OTHER PERSON, AND YOURSELF, TO HIGH AND NOBLE STANDARDS.
People tend to live up to the expectations others have of them. If you
expect a lot from someone, he tends to give you what you expect. Likewise,
if you expect little from someone, that is what you tend to get.

So act honestly, and expect honesty from the other person; act morally,
and expect morality from the other person; act fairly, and expect fairness
from the other person.


21. GO THE EXTRA MILE.
You are pleasantly surprised when other people do more for you than you
had asked, or more than you expect. So do the same for them: "Go the extra
mile."

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.

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."
What do you think Eva Cassidy was feeling as she sang "Somewhere Over The
Rainbow" above?

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

Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy Name,

Give us this day our daily bread.

For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory,

Lord Jesus, now I raise my prayer to You,

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.

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

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.

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!
