By taking Jesus words as something special, from beyond the bounds of our humanity and this world
If we really believe that they are, that there is something more to them than just a similarity to the words that we speak just a different arrangement of words, if we agree that they are more than that.
if we agree that they are more than that, just mere words and syllables and letters, then why are they special what makes them special in what way are they special?
For about four years I have known the lords prayer is more than just words written on a page to be repeated in church at times and occasionally prayed.
I have also known that there is something very very special about Psalm 23.
Both of these scriptures had a miraculous effect on my life. Outside my life and on the inside of my life.
But how do I communicate this to others?
We will see.
But for example from the Lords prayer I can see that the church is being built upon and being built up.
I can see this happening when I pray the Lord‘s prayer.
I want people to experience this so bad.
A friend says I have been given a glimpse of heaven.
If that means when I pray the Lord‘s prayer it’s like I am right there with him I agree. If it means that I can picture in my minds eye am edifice In the shape of a cathedral to be under construction and I feel encouraged that I am helping by my focusing on the Lord’s prayer
And it seems like the most natural thing in the world no frills but then again not of this earth that would be the truth.
Perhaps because of my age God has been merciful to me. Perhaps because of the urgency of the times that we are living in, and I have wanted and searched for the message, the message, for everyone, all of humanity not just me not just Christians but everyone, perhaps God has seen fit to grant fulfillment of this desire that I have had almost my whole life And because of the message itself. The Lords prayer. Jesus words’. Not my words. And not really words of this earth.
Have you heard anyone pray, “Thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven”? Or #DeliverUsFromEvil?
No, but why? You’ve heard everything else preached about and taught from A to Z. Why is no one talking about this?
PS do not gaslight me bro.
#DeliverUsFromEvil

2000-year-old prayer
So, what good does it do to tell people what to do where to go without telling them how to get there. Tell this to your next Congregation in your next sermon.
And what if you even tell them how to get there by just throwing them a roadmap And then don’t tell them what road to take. Don’t tell them the exact route just let them wander around in the desert?
What if you say, to get to Z you start at point A?
I’m sure all that’s helpful but time is short.
So tell them this: there is a prayer, it starts with A. Which is “ Our Father”. It ends with #DeliverUsFromEvil. And it is a request. And as soon as you open, your request is not just being processed but IS accomplished? This is guaranteed by the first two words...”Our Father.”
I’m sure you know this prayer Paul. But like most of us you didn’t realize the full import. Because no one told you, that it was a special prayer or just how special it really was. So you put it over there in a pile with the rest of the prayers and words and wisdom and sage advice and encouragement and admonishment and that huge pile of directions now gathering dust.
You didn’t realize it was the whole of the law, ALL that you needed every bit of it.
And anyway you’ve got other things to do! You’ve got to feed the cat. You’ve got to walk the dog. You’ve got to make sure your fingernails are clean and trimmed!
The word is a vibration. We know that because words have an effect. They can build up or they can tear down.
And men use these words very cleverly. For all sorts of mischievousness. To trick you to get you on board or to keep you waiting at the station.
But this word, is The Word, this word is The Vibration. Spoken by the Master. Not the useless drivel we are used to. Summoned up by crafty sales ladies or even well meaning honest brokers with the best of intentions. But it is still only words. No power or very little. Can’t get you anywhere or not very far. Or maybe very far but just not far enough.
Kind of like the Fibonacci sequence. It will never get you over the hump. Not completely. Because we seek perfection. A perfection that is not of this world. By ourselves alone we can never cross that bridge.
So there you have it. If you are reading this stop. Turn off the device and “pray thus”.
And tell your congregation in your next sermon, “you know, you really oughtta check this out.”
The Lord’s Prayer.
Amen?

2000-year-old prayer
Artist’s Statement
Simple spoken versions of the Lord’s Prayer without adornment other than inflection and a kind of in the moment reverence generated and guided by the words of the prayer, lately have quietly but assuredly come to the fore .. feeling at the same time like a compelling creative artistic expression and experience.
