Sunday 3/1/15 Talking to God (5)

Dear Father in Heaven: Thanks for another beautiful day, and thanks for taking my sins to the cross. I love You and I confess that I am a sinner and in need of a good scrubbing. Dear Father, thanks for watching over me as I was out plowing again. Thanks for all You do for all of us. As we start a new month, dear Lord, may we work hard to get others to start it off with You. Lord, be with our President and other leaders. Be with our veterans and our military and keep them safe and please, Lord, bring them back home soon. Lord,  watch over this line and all who use it. Protect it, please, from being hacked. Lord, open doors for those looking for work and watch over people on the highways. Please now bless me with the message and help me to get it dispatched. In Jesus' Name, I pray. Amen.

Dear brothers and sisters, we had another little snow storm here at the Southern Location of the North Pole. God is good. I went out plowing and God protected me. It will be slick in the morning. Watch out for BLACK ICE. Speaking of safety, I have received another writing from God's Co-Pilot, Charles Wotring, and I hope to have it to you Monday or Tuesday. It will come out separately. Thanks to all of you who responded telling me how you enjoyed his talking about safety when it comes to flying.

As you know, we have been talking to God and I started with the Lord's Prayer. I wrapped that up except for one thing. So let me get right to it now.

Sunday: March 1, 2015: Talking to God (Day Five)

Matthew 6:9b - "Our Father which art in Heaven, Hallowed be Thy name. 10 Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. 11 Give us this day our daily bread. 12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. 13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen." (KJV)

As you recall, I went through this prayer, this wonderful prayer that Jesus taught us to pray. There is one thing I think needs added when we pray the prayer. I think that after we pray the Lord's Prayer and end it with "Amen. Then we need to pray this. "In Jesus' Name I pray." And here is my scripture that supports me on this.

John 14:6 - Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." (NIV)

Here is the same scripture in the King James Version.

John 14:6 - Jesus saith unto him, "I am the way, the truth,and the life; no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." (KJV)

There are many folks that believe that this scripture is just for when we go to heaven. Yes, we who are indeed "Born Again" know that Jesus is the way to heaven, as we must surely confess ourselves over to Him. I am talking to God about going over those details again in the future. Anyway, the way I read the scripture is we must send our prayers through Jesus to the Father, our Heavenly Father, if indeed we want them to be considered by God The Father. When I watch a NASCAR race and they start each race with prayer, some of the pastors will just say Amen, while others will say "in His name I pray" and I am yelling at my TV saying, who is He? Name Him, pastors, yes, we Christians know who He is, we know what you are saying, but I say call Him by His name. It is JESUS, brothers and sisters, please do not be afraid to say that name, please send your prayers to the Father through Jesus. As I have told you before, I believe everything in the Bible, all as truth. Tomorrow, God willing, we will talk more about talking to God and try and answer this question, just where is the best place to pray? Now we will close again with the Lord's Prayer and a call for Salvation.

Our Father which art in Heaven, Hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. In Jesus' Name, I pray. Amen.

Dear Father in Heaven: I confess that I am a sinner and I ask that You clean me with the blood of Jesus. I believe that Jesus was born of a virgin mother, walked this earth, was crucified on the Cross, was buried and was risen from the grave. I believe Jesus is alive and will judge me someday. Please save me and place my name in the Lamb's Book of Life. I ask this in the Name of Jesus. Amen.

If you prayed this for the first time and prayed it in faith, you are now "Born Again." Want to talk about it? You may call me. 717 991 0754. That is my cell number.

Now go forth and share your blessings. Love ya. Please share my love.
