Suppose you ask any flesh person or company for an application for something you desire. And, you return it, signed and dated, yet without the many other blanks filled out -- could you expect to receive a positive response?
Well, hellooo…..
“Religion” and their followers do this exact thing countless times daily… Some religions do it willingly as a penance, (go say x number of ‘our Fathers’ and y number of ‘hail mary’s) and the rest out of merely ignorance….by saying “After all, it is the Lord’s Prayer”….
News flash…Religion’s parroted phrase IS NOT the Lord’s “Prayer“…. NOT AT ALL. It is a blank OUTLINE that one uses to get your message to Father.
However, if you are truly devoid of all knowledge, it is indeed possible to get your Email read…All it takes is a sincere GOD HELP ME….and most especially if from a new (to Him) email return address.
Matt 6:
1 Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven.
IOW…Else Your Prayers end up in Father’s Spam folder
2 Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
IOW…Else Your Prayers end up in Father’s Spam folder
7 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.
8 Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.
Else, IOW…Your Prayers end up in Father’s Spam folder.
Think a bit…If one disregards the very plain prayer preface instructions as given above by God, yet dutifully parrots the words of the outline, as the below verses provide, can one expect to be heard?
9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
11 Give us this day our daily bread.
12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. (KJV)
NO… NO… Yet Infinite “NO’s”…. Because, He has heard those words enough, obviously, They are, after all His own Words…. A blank application He expects YOU to complete, and not return blank.
.
As Father said via Isaiah….
Isa 55:11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. (KJV)
IOW…Email no void messages to Father… Or…Your Prayers end up in Father’s Spam folder
So, bub, are you saying that there is no recorded “Lord’s Prayer” that we can parrot? The answer is…yes and no.
Yes in that there ACTUALLY is a recorded Prayer of our Lord…, and in full. NO in that you cannot parrot it, with mere words.
Many, perhaps most, do not perceive it to be a prayer as such, Yet it is obvious to the most casual observer as it is written in John 17, the full chapter. One can learn quite a bit from listening in…IF they are willing to accept His true Words. In it he absolutely DESTROYS religions favorite lies…from the ‘rapture’ through most religious doctrine.. If one Studies it, one may even learn something new each trip through it.
John 17 begins
1 These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee:
And ends:
26 And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them. (KJV)
And, if one can handle it, one really should let Christ’s Words sink deeply into one’s temple…
And that, beloved, is the fully recorded “Lord’s Prayer“. You are always on His mind. Merely speak your heart to Him, and your prayers will stay out of His spam folder.
Fortunately, however if you are not a known e-mail return address, and thus you are truly ignorant, even in stress, simply a sincere GOD HELP ME is quite sufficient especially from an unknown e-mail address.
