Matthew 9:35-38 (AMP). “Jesus went throughout all the cities and villages [in Galilee], teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the good news (gospel) of the kingdom, and healing every kind of disease and every kind of sickness [His words and His works reflecting His Messiahship]. When He saw the crowds, He was moved with compassion and pity for them, because they were dispirited and distressed, like sheep without a shepherd. Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest is [indeed] plentiful, but the workers are few. So pray to the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into His harvest.”
Matthew 6:9-13 (AMP). “Pray, then, in this way: ‘Our Father, who is in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. ‘Your kingdom come, Your will be done On earth as it is in heaven. ‘Give us this day our daily bread. ‘And forgive us our debts, as we have forgiven our debtors [letting go of both the wrong and the resentment]. ‘And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from evil. [For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.]’”
“Lord, Teach Us to Pray” By In Touch ministries:
“Keep talking to the Lord—He always welcomes you, just as you are.”
“When it comes to prayer, there are two common pitfalls to be aware of. First, when it’s unclear what to pray, some people choose not to pray at all. And second, many believers settle into a lifeless form of praying that leaves them feeling hollow and disconnected from God. Both situations lead to discontentment and frustration.
As Christians, we know that we should pray, even if doing so seems daunting. But far more than any sense of obligation we may feel, it’s wise to recognize that God intended prayer as a blessing for His children: Communing with Him is a fundamental way of experiencing His fullness. We have much to gain by praying—including peace, comfort, wisdom, and God’s very presence. So it would be tragic to give up on trying.
And remember, when we communicate with God, there’s no measuring stick or scorecard. A fumbling yet heartfelt attempt pleases Him far more than a well-worded litany that lacks sincerity. And keep in mind that formal prayers—such as the one Jesus taught His disciples (Matthew 6:9-13)—can help us find a path back into the practice when we’re lost.
Start with the Lord’s Prayer today and return to it as often as needed. You may eventually find your own words flowing freely as a result. But if not, don’t give up. Just keep talking to the Lord.”

Reflection for Prayer 20: The Lord's Prayer
Our Father, I pause,
this means so much, here I am
never alone, no,
we're one family allied
in a Father that is God.
The great I am is
and He will listen to me
always, anytime,
that is His nature,
to be the One who listens.
In heaven: a place
God set aside to hear us
make our petitions,
a place too holy to see
values our voice in prayer.
Precious is His name,
a holy reputation
the ancient nomen
only He deserves - holy,
I only speak it with awe.
He is coming here,
vanishing distance between
with His full kingdom,
God dwelling among converts,
what an exciting story.
A true wondrous thought,
completion of God's intent,
done once and for all,
all the grief of ruthless life
swept aside for perfection.
Reflecting heaven
earth will lose its distinction,
no place for sin found,
promised abundant life dawns
sweeping away ticks of time.
Today we need gifts,
we can't survive without them,
we are powerless
against sin, temptation, want,
we must rely on His gifts.
Daily provision
without worry, even bread
means no real hunger
is worth us fretting about,
belief is our only job.
Wow, to owe no one,
not even God, pure relief,
actual freedom
from the shortfalls we possess,
from the weights we cannot lift.
A revealed secret
to finding ourselves freedom
in so little words,
my forgiveness meant to flow
like a river from my soul.
Looming temptation
is not where I want to walk,
I want to escape
another way without it,
lead me that way somehow Lord.
The Way and the Truth
does not come naturally,
for we must be led
a lamp at our feet guides us
when we follow He who leads.
Evil has caught us
in a clever trap, we'll die
from its wicked ways
without a deliverer
with a kindly loving heart.
Go ahead, rejoice,
know God controls the kingdom,
one God, one ruler,
it is easy to believe
everything will turn out right.
Power lies with God,
His strength is on our behalf,
our strong champion
remains undefeated still
and not even death can win.
The glory of God
rises robust each morning
we see it, breath it
and fading hope is renewed,
all creation senses it.
A vanishing blip,
this present time fades away,
eternity comes
swallowing up our sorrows
as forever folds up time.
And so it all comes
first to last it will be done,
Alpha, Omega
has laid out His plan and won
Praise for Father, Spirit, Son.
.

Avinu sheBashamayim, hitKadesh Shimcha
אבינו שבשמים, יתקדש שמך. תבוא מלכותך, שרצונך ייעשה בארץ כמו בשמים. אנו גם מבקשים שתספק לנו מדי יום את צורכנו. אנא סלח לנו על חטאינו, כשם שאנו סולחים לאלה שחטאו נגדנו. עזור לנו לעמוד נגד פיתויים וניסיונות, והצל אותנו מכל רע כי שלך המלכות, הכוח והתפארת לעולמי עולמים. אמן

"IF IT'S HIDDEN, IT WON'T HEAL!"
Hebrews 4:12-13, “For the Word of God is living and active and full of power [making it operative, energizing, and effective]. It is sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating as far as the division of the soul and spirit [the completeness of a person], and of both joints and marrow [the deepest parts of our nature], exposing and judging the very thoughts and intentions of the heart.

C.S. Lewis Invites Us into the Lord's Prayer
Today, the July letter from the C.S. Lewis Institute arrived. I’m going to quote it at some length because the excerpt from Letters to Malcolm: Chiefly on Prayer is On Helpful is so helpful. But before I do, I want to provide a link to an index for the book that readers might find helpful as well. This particular index is good for all 124 page versions of the book no matter what the cover. Lewis…

"Our Father in heaven,
Hallowed be Your name.
Your kingdom come.
Your will be done
On earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts,
As we forgive our debtors.
And do not lead us into temptation,
But deliver us from the evil one.
For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen."
-Matthew 6:9-13 (KJV)

This Verse Secretly Undermines All of Christianity...
youtube
I just saw this and thought I would process it on my own.
This YouTuber doesn't sound like he's explored much beyond mainstream Western Christianity. He makes the bold statement that EVERY Christian sect finds indispensable the idea that Christ died on the Cross "for our sins". Period.
For the longest time I found that challenging too. He goes on to talk about many of the same things I've asked, "Why couldn't God just forgive us outright? Why must he go through a generational pageant to do something the God of the Universe could have done of his own accord in the first place?"
You can say this is a dumb question. I've been told this many times.
Yet I have never been the only one asking this.
Many, if not all Atheists ask this question. Frankly, many "Christian" answers sound a little unhinged.
Now, I don't think that his examples necessarily contradict the prevailing point of view though. All anyone has to do is look at the banking industry to see that credit on future earnings is a valid payment method. Now it's true that modern banking, and especially credit, wasn't developed until the European Jews, unable to make a living any other way, started lending during the medieval period. Jesuits came up with the idea of insurance, which didn't technically fall under the prohibition against usury. And with ongoing innovation, modern financial markets developed.
None of these, of course, would have been understood by the local people of Jesus' time and place.
What was understood was life and death.
And this is where I found my peace.
Sins can easily be forgiven, but sickness and eventual death? That's a whole other nut to crack. Now, to be clear, unfortunately even the most traditional Christian communities have started to obsess about how SIN must be atoned!
But there is a strain in the oldest Christian traditions that it wasn't primarily sin that was destroyed on the cross, but rather death, disease, corruption (of which sin is a derivation to be sure, but not the point).
Now it's easy to look around and say - "Look! it didn't work." I myself have had to say good bye to both my parents over the last several months.
However, there is a resurrection that is promised. And if Christ has done what he said he did, then there WILL be a general resurrection.
The key is to be prepared for that resurrection. Now we could go on about which denomination is best prepared, but I have little faith in denominationalism. I think it's a means to conquer and divide the faithful, pitting follower against follower. Soon the God who's being worshiped isn't the most High God, but the Deceiver who encourages us all to call each other heretics. I do not think most "Christians" are Christian, but rather following their own wisdom (1 Timothy 6:3-5, 2 Thessalonians 2:11, Matthew 7:13-14, Matthew 24:11).
Now I may be a false teacher myself for thinking such a thing and putting it out there, but I have faith that God will know his own. And while he loves the rest, and has given them life, that life will be so much less for the fact that they reject what he's given them.
I find the idea of a river of fire helpful - Moses and the Glory of God (Exodus 33:20-23), speaks to the idea that to human senses, God is Fire. The Story of the Three Holy Youths (Daniel 3) has also been seen as an illustration of man abiding in the presence of fire, as a proxy for God, unharmed. Pentecost is God's fire experienced by the faithful after his resurrection. How will Gods fire be experienced by the unfaithful?
I have no idea, but I doubt that it will be pleasant (Luke 16:19-31).
In short, I feel this video failed to land it's point. There's enough diversity in Christianity to survive this argument, though I do not think that most modern Christians are open to my resolution.
Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, Have mercy upon me, a sinner.

Revelation 21: How Firm a Foundation
There are several clues in John’s vision of a voluminous golden city descending through the sky that lead the reader to believe it symbolizes spiritual truths. #Revelation21 #NewJerusalem #TwelveFoundations #PearlyGates
There are several clues in John’s vision of a voluminous golden city descending through the sky that lead the reader to believe it symbolizes spiritual truths. In comparison to Babylon—portrayed as a woman of excesses—the bride motif of new Jerusalem symbolizes the far superior role as Christ’s beloved, than as the world’s. The purity and luminosity of the precious materials in the city’s…
