IN THIS MANNER PRAY.....OUR FATHER IN
HEAVEN, HALLOWED BE YOUR NAME .......MATTHEW 6:9 |

PRAYER-MANNER

the disciplined, heavenly conversationalist) |

A manner is a way of doing things. And Jesus the Christ
was never in the habit of doing things the way mere men and
women of religion done them. Some call this particular piece
of scripture 'the lord's prayer or 'the our father!
I choose to call it 'Jesus complete and only teaching, advice
and successful way for all to pray'. Messiah was simply
saying keep this basic outline in mind, at heart, in view,
when you approach Father and you will be heard. It's a
posture of gratitude and humility.
This 'Prayer Manner' that the Christ revealed to his
disciples and all who choose to be his disciples is actually
a root heart-condition. A forever constant frame of mind to
live in as we pray without ceasing and in all other aspects
of prayer life. Just as the armour of God is not something
we talk about but walk in....click.
Most peoples have never heard Paul Sheehan speak, preach,
teach about prayer, all because prayer is so uniquely
personal, individual and intimate. I Believe very intimate,
yes, even holy. Jesus never wrote books about prayer for
Jesus is God and God can explain himself in very few words
and if need be no words at all. Prayer is from the heart,
spirit of man not the mouth.
Yahweh's ability to be infinitely concise is one of the
multitudes of astonishing characteristics of his being that
has always left me in awe of him.....click.
Jesus told us how to pray , why insult him by thinking
there's another way - manner.
It offends Father when people, male or female set out to
read prayers from books rather than from their own hearts,
this is religious and useless. JTCM has their own prayer
however, that we use as a suggestion for people if they
would care to ask Jesus to forgive and cleanse them from
their sins. This prayer was given to me by Father as I
realised, got revelation of what I had done after I gave my
life, not my words or lips but life to Messiah. Prayer is to
acknowledge Yah.
Even so, Jesus makes this suggestion and more than a
suggestion rather a premise for all intended requests and
thanksgivings. All verses in this teaching on prayer in
Matthew 6:9-13 go to make up and cover every area of the
christian soldiers life from the being born a second time to
the completing of the race of faith. Do you notice I said
that it was a race of faith in order to receive the crown
that is given to all and only 'bonafide' children of
God-Yahweh........'The Crown of Life'.......click.
Before I finish this small piece of advice, let me draw your
attention to the last two verses of the paragraph, verses
14, 15 of the same chapter. Do you see what Jesus the Judge
of the human race said......'forgive men and women
of the sins they committed against you'. You may not
know this but Jesus requires all men and women to repent
prior to him forgiving them, your minister may not have told
you this, he may not know. And their is confirmation of this
requirement all the way through the holy bible. Messiah
tells us all that the same requirement goes for 'christians'
who have sinned against each other, there must be
repentance, for they 'know what they do'......ref/Colossians
3:13 - "as the Christ forgave you".
● I was not (am not)
forgiven till I repented and never will be, and neither will
you.......amen.
