Download or read book Christ s Words in Matthew as a Guide to 40 Days of Prayer written by Gary Gagliardi and published by . This book was released on 2019-06-15 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book was written to accomplish four goals: To encourage study of Jesus's words outside his story To show how to use his words to inspire prayersTo provide a selection of prayers on different topicsTo offer a template for creating more specific prayers This work extends Pastor Rick Warren's 40 Days of Prayer concept for the specific purpose of studying Jesus's words. In his book, Pastor Warren suggested using the Lord's Prayer as a template for prayer in general. This book extends his idea by using all of the Savior's words in Matthew as a template for a set of prayers-based on my fifteen years of studying Christ's words in the original Greek. Jesus's words and prayer are like a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup: two great things that are great together. They are sweet like candy, but, unlike candy, they are always good for us. Unlike Warren's work, however, this book is designed both for study and for use as a prayer book. It offers you a guide to how you can use Jesus's own words to inspire your own prayers. On this book's left-hand pages, I show each of Jesus's spoken words in the Gospel of Matthew. On the facing right-hand pages, each line of Jesus's words inspires a line in a prayer. The verses from Matthew are shown in their original order, chapter after chapter, without their narrative. While we normally hear Jesus's words in the context of his story, by taking his words out of that story we can hear them in a new way: as if they were addressed to us personally today, not just to those around him then.I separated these verses into forty days for easier study. I used the chapter divisions and the logical breaks between topics within a chapter to create the separate prayers. Each prayer focuses on a specific topic. That topic was suggested by the content of Jesus's words. In the original story, his words may have addressed a number of different situations, but taken together they seem to offer a unifying theme. I used these themes to create the resulting prayers. Prayers average about a page and a half each. The shortest is one verse. The longest is three pages. These prayers are just one way to interpret the Lord's words as prayer. They are generalized and written in the first person plural, like the Lord's Prayer itself. However, they are designed to inspire more specific prayers relating to your own unique situation. These prayers can be used to give you words when you cannot find your own, or they can aid you in discovering your own words to express your own thoughts and feelings. This book can be used in several different ways. Each of these approaches offers different advantages. You can study the left-hand pages with Christ's words by themselves, ignoring the facing prayer. This approach allows you to rediscover what Christ said. By reading his words without their narrative, you can ponder his message for us today. You can read one verse of Christ's words and then the corresponding line of prayer. I think of this as the "call and response" method. Christ is calling to us with his words and we are responding directly to him with our prayer. You can also read one line of Christ's words, read a line of the prayer, and then imagine your own prayer: the "personal call and response." You are responding directly to him with your own words, beginning by changing the plural "we" pronouns to singular "I" pronouns. This book's format leaves plenty of spaces between lines and in the columns to write down your prayers if you so desire. Finally, you can use this work as a prayer book alone, concentrating on the right-hand prayer pages and using the index to find the prayer(s) you need. Using the book in this way, you or your prayer group will find that prayers adapted directly from Christ's words are powerful tools for addressing many different issues. There are prayers for healing, prayers for wisdom, prayers against self-deception, prayers for guidance, and so on. The focus of each prayer

Download or read book One Holy Passion written by Frederick Osborn and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-12-30 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After returning from the mission field in India for another visit to the US, I was presented with a copy of a prayer guide written by the wife of my Pastor, Sis. Rosemary Lester. Our home church was nearing completion of a time of prayer and fasting inspired by her devotional guide, "One Holy Passion." Immediately, I recognized this material as something that could be as inspirational and meaningful to the church in India as it was to my home church family. I edited the guide, added the material by Dr. Cooper and Bill Bright, had it translated into Tamil, printed, and distributed. When Sis. Rosemary visited Chennai in January, 2007 I presented a copy to her. Because Rosemary Lester wrote this Daily Devotional Guide to speak to the members of our church during our special 40-day period of prayer and fasting leading up to Easter Sunday, 2006, it was my task as Editor to preserve as much of the original content as possible, while making "One Holy Passion" meaningful and relevant to as many people as possible. As I reworked this material, I could sense the love and compassion of Rosemary for the Lord and for His body, the church on every page. Those who use this guide for strength, direction, and exhortation will, I believe, find Rosemary's loving words echoing the Holy Spirit's voice encouraging them to persevere to the end of their own 40-day spiritual journey. Although "One Holy Passion" was originally intended for a specific church to use for a specific period of time, it can now be used by any individual or group and can be started any time of the year. In addition to the Daily Devotional Guide I included in this work the same supplemental instructional material that was in the Tamil to help believers understand the discipline of prayer and fasting from the Christian context. Finally, I added more quotes from respected Christians on the subject of prayer and fasting, and some information on the people, culture and religions from around the world. The final result is what you now hold in your hand. May this prayer and fasting guide lead you on your own personal spiritual journey and at the same time lead you to pray and fast for missions and missionaries around the world. May God bless all who surrender themselves in "One Holy Passion" for His glory. Frederick Osborn India Field Director Bibles for All Ministries
