Jesus Prayer

place to accept the ball from the passer, Jesus is ALWAYS in place to take our problems from us, so you see that should make Him our Go To Guy. Letting Go Let me say that again, we should make Jesus our Go To Guy, but before that can happen, we must learn to let go, yes I said let go. In 1 Peter 5:7 (which I asked you to remember), we see where Peter is encouraging the church to Cast all your care on Jesus – if you didn’t know it before Peter became one of Jesus Disciples, he was a fisherman, so…

I learned was the Holy Spirit prayer. The Holy Spirit prayer is a pray that we said in the beginning of each class. As a Pentecostal I was taught that repeating a prayer was less effective than praying to God directly the ability to pray through the bible. I learned that this prayer means a lot. The Holy Spirit prayer ask the Holy Spirit to joins us in the class. This prayer gives us a chance to pray with the Holy Spirit as our instructor. I enjoyed the opening prayer, because it showed the…

In the New Testament, Jesus made a very bold statement to us. In Mark 11:23 Jesus said: (Mar 11:23) For truly I say to you that whoever shall say to this mountain, Be moved and be cast into the sea, and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that what he said shall occur, he shall have whatever he said. This amazing statement still continues to strain our faith to grasp the fullness of what He meant. In June of 1974, a man named Charles Capps was teaching at a faith seminar in…

source of life. Summarise your original understanding of the discipline before the course started My understanding of fasting was to give up a necessity, such as food, in order to remind myself to pray and hunger after God. Whether for an answer to a prayer, new vision, understanding or even just desiring to be closer to God. I had the mindset that fasting was mainly a tool to use in times of need. I saw it as more of a corporate activity than a personal one. A Significant Christian…

I constantly felt the need to go and sit with a student sitting by themselves and talk to them about the friend they have in Jesus or go up to the girl whose boundaries are being continually pushed down and love her as Christ does. If anything, this event was, for me, a reinforcement of calling. My heart was utterly broken and for many days following it was most of what I talked…

church, where I spent the next 20 years. All through my childhood, I heard about Jesus and I remember being about four years old when my mother knelt beside me as I prayed the “sinners prayer” and asked Jesus to be my Lord and Savior. I cannot say that it was the most powerful moment of my life; yet it was very significant start to my spiritual journey. This journey has allowed me to see the Holy Spirit bring Jesus alive in my life, call me into ministry, show me the works of the Holy Spirit,…

Prayer is the most essential task in the life of a believer and certainly vital to a healthy relationship with God. Dave Earley shares, “Everything God does in the work of ministry. He does through prayer’ (2008, 9). The disciples realized the importance of prayer by asking Jesus to teach them one simple thing. They asked, “Teach us to pray” (Luke 11:1). Prayer was a significant part of Christ’s life and ministry, and he believed that prayer works when effectively used in conjunction with faith…

understood the value of regular and faithful prayer to God. He realized that practicing this would keep his relationship with his Heavenly Father strong. New Testament believers have been afforded the luxury of being able to live according to Jesus’ example. Unlike King David of the Old Testament, New Testament believers have encouragement from both fellow believers in Christ and from Christ himself. The apostles showed in the book of Acts that they felt a healthy prayer life would strengthen…

everyone was in those painted stained-glass windows. What I am certain of was that there were not only divine beings in those stained-glass windows. Some of the biblical figures I saw were Archangel Gabriel, Ignatius of Loyola, Mary, St. Joseph, and Jesus. Not all windows had painted pictures in them. Some of them only had the names of people who contributed to Christianity. Certain names I can recall were Thomas Aquinas, St. Ives, and…

Introduction Prayer is a powerful, intimate, relational discipline used to express to God all the areas of one’s heart. This essay has been written to reflect on what I have come to understand about prayer as a spiritual discipline. I will briefly explore Teresa Avila, a significant Christian in history who has expressed the importance of prayer and take a look into how both Catholic and Pentecostal denominations pray. Summarise your original understanding of the discipline before the course…
