The church has always used the Psalms as part of its prayer life, and they have inspired countless other prayers. This book contains 75 prayers drawn from Psalms 1-75, providing lyrical sketches of what authors Ryan Whitaker Smith and Dan Wilt have seen, heard, and felt while sojourning in the Psalms. While each prayer corresponds to a particular psalm and touches on its themes and ideas, it is not a new translation of the Psalms or an attempt to modernize or contextualize their content or language. Rather, the prayers are responses to the Psalms written in harmony with Scripture. These prayers help us quiet our hearts before God and welcome us into a safe place amid the storms of life. This artful, poetic, and classic devotional book features compelling custom illustrations and beautiful hardcover binding, offering a fresh way to reflect on and pray the Psalms.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you know you can command your Sun to stand still for you? It looks unbelievable, but with God having the power to turn things around, all impossibilities can be made possible! Yes, I know you are tired of everything; yeah, you have prayed, and it looks like answers won't come but wait! I got good news for you; God can still make way for you!It doesn't matter how many years you have been awaiting that miracle; it's time to command your Sun to stand still. It's time for you to embrace an outrageous faith! It's you saying no matter how deep the sea is, a path must be created for me to pass through!What is that thing that no one has received that you want God to do for you? If you want God to do something unique in your life, you must be ready to table something great too.The Bible says in the book of Joshua 10; 12-14; Then Joshua spoke to the LORD in the day when the LORD delivered up the Amorites before the sons of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, "O sun, stand still at Gibeon, And O moon in the valley of Aijalon." So the Sun stood still, and the moon stopped until the nation avenged themselves of their enemies. Is it not written in the book of Jashar? And the Sun stopped in the middle of the sky and did not hasten to go down for about a whole day. There was no day like that before it or after it when the LORD listened to the voice of a man; for the LORD fought for Israel. Do you know before Joshua was able to command the Sun to stand still, he did something unique in Joshua 24:15, "He said, and I quote, "As for me and my household, we would serve the Lord!" Joshua knew serving God was the best decision he would take for his household (He sacrifice everything to make sure his family would serve God).When Joshua took this decision, God honored his words because he chose to honor God. The Bible says God listened to a man. If you want the Sun to stand still for you, you need to do something that would make God willing to support your decision.Do you want your sun to stand still? Then you need to sacrifice your time in the prayer altar! It's not about doing it the way others are doing it; it's about you being violent in your prayer room.Let's look at Hannah's life: She has been going to Shiloh for several years, but do you know when the Sun stood still for Hannah? When she prayed like a drunken woman! She went further by tabling a vow! She told God she would give Samuel entirely to Him!Listen! To get something remarkable from God (Making the Sun stand still for you), aside from having unshakable faith, you must be willing to do what others would not want to do.You must be willing to wake in the middle of the night and pour out your heart to God; you must be willing to give God what no one would give Him. You should know many suns have stood still for lots of people( A woman with no owmb that gave birth to a bouncing baby boy). If you want your Sun to stand still, you should be willing to sacrifice something worthwhile to God! Are you willing to make your Sun standstill? It's all about doing something extraordinary to trigger your breakthrough. In my book "Violent prayers to make the Sun standstill, I have outlined powerful prayers with scriptural verses to make your Sun standstill. When God wants to make a man's Sun stand still, He breaks protocols! If you want God to break protocols on your behalf, be willing to tear your heart out with theses prayers that would command that unexpected miracle!Note: It takes faith to please God! If you don't have faith, your Sun will not standstill. Remember the Bible says in the book of Romans 14:23, "Whatever does not proceed from faith is sin." Faith pleases God. In fact, without faith, it is impossible to please God (Hebrews 11:6).If you're ready to pray the Violent Prayers to make your Sun standstill, click the "Buy now" button right away!

Download or read book Invocations for Beginners written by Harry Eilenstein and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2021-04-29 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Invocation is the imagination of a deity and the subsequent identification with this imagined image of the deity. This procedure is one of the basics of magic, because through such an identification one's own possibilities of perception and action become many times greater. This technique goes back to the late Paleolithic Age, when hunters identified themselves with a panther in order to obtain the strength and speed of a panther during their hunt. Later, the grain god was invoked in the Neolithic period, and then the One God was invoked in kingship. The effectiveness of the technique of invocation, of course, like all magical phenomena, cannot be proven by words, but at least described in such a way that you may try this technique yourself. As with almost all things, patience and practice are beneficial, but there are also some methods, such as dream travel, that make the whole thing much easier and more effective.

Download or read book The Gods Rich in Praise written by Christopher Metcalf and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many scholars today believe that early Greek literature, as represented by the great poems of Homer and Hesiod, was to some extent inspired by texts from the neighbouring civilizations of the ancient Near East, especially Mesopotamia. It is true that, in the case of religious poetry, early Greek poets sang about their gods in ways that resemble those of Sumerian or Akkadian hymns from Mesopotamia, but does this mean that the latter influenced the former, and if so, how? This volume is the first to attempt an answer to these questions by undertaking a detailed study of the ancient texts in their original languages, from Sumerian poetry in the 20th century BC to Greek sources from the times of Homer, Hesiod, Pindar, and Aeschylus. The Gods Rich in Praise presents the core groups of sources from the ancient Near East, describing the main features of style and content of Sumerian and Akkadian religious poetry, and showing how certain compositions were translated and adapted beyond Mesopotamia. It proceeds by comparing selected elements of form and content: hymnic openings, negative predication, the birth of Aphrodite in the Theogony of Hesiod, and the origins and development of a phrase in Hittite prayers and the Iliad of Homer. The volume concludes that, in terms of form and style, early Greek religious poetry was probably not indebted to ancient Near Eastern models, but also argues that such influence may nevertheless be perceived in certain closely defined instances, particularly where supplementary evidence from other ancient sources is available, and where the extant sources permit a reconstruction of the process of translation and adaptation.

Download or read book Ancient Christian Magic written by Marvin W. Meyer and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 1999-04-04 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thought-provoking collection of magical texts from ancient Egypt shows the exotic rituals, esoteric healing practices, and incantatory and supernatural dimensions that flowered in early Christianity. These remarkable Christian magical texts include curses, spells of protection from "headless powers" and evil spirits, spells invoking thunderous powers, descriptions of fire baptism, and even recipes from a magical "cookbook." Virtually all the texts are by Coptic Christians, and they date from about the 1st-12th centuries of the common era, with the majority from late antiquity. By placing these rarely seen texts in historical context and discussing their significance, the authors explore the place of healing, prayer, miracles, and magic in the early Christian experience, and expand our understanding of Christianity and Gnosticism as a vital folk religion.

Download or read book Prayer Magic and the Stars in the Ancient and Late Antique World written by Scott Noegel and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2010-11-01 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the religious systems of ancient Mesopotamia, Egypt, and the Mediterranean, gods and demigods were neither abstract nor distant, but communicated with mankind through signs and active intervention. Men and women were thus eager to interpret, appeal to, and even control the gods and their agents. In Prayer, Magic, and the Stars in the Ancient and Late Antique World, a distinguished array of scholars explores the many ways in which people in the ancient world sought to gain access to--or, in some cases, to bind or escape from--the divine powers of heaven and earth. Grounded in a variety of disciplines, including Assyriology, Classics, and early Islamic history, the fifteen essays in this volume cover a broad geographic area: Greece, Egypt, Syria-Palestine, Mesopotamia, and Persia. Topics include celestial divination in early Mesopotamia, the civic festivals of classical Athens, and Christian magical papyri from Coptic Egypt. Moving forward to Late Antiquity, we see how Judaism, Christianity, and Islam each incorporated many aspects of ancient Near Eastern and Graeco-Roman religion into their own prayers, rituals, and conceptions. Even if they no longer conceived of the sun, moon, and the stars as eternal or divine, Christians, Jews, and Muslims often continued to study the movements of the heavens as a map on which divine power could be read. The reader already familiar with studies of ancient religion will find in Prayer, Magic, and the Stars both old friends and new faces. Contributors include Gideon Bohak, Nicola Denzey, Jacco Dieleman, Radcliffe Edmonds, Marvin Meyer, Michael G. Morony, Ian Moyer, Francesca Rochberg, Jonathan Z. Smith, Mark S. Smith, Peter Struck, Michael Swartz, and Kasia Szpakowska. Published as part of Penn State's Magic in History series, Prayer, Magic, and the Stars appears at a time of renewed interest in divination and occult practices in the ancient world. It will interest a wide audience in the field of comparative religion as well as students of the ancient world and late antiquity.
