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 but 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 pair prayers and words and wisdom and sage advice and encouragement and admonishment in 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 of operation. We know that because words have an affect. They can build up or they can tear down.

And men use these words very cleverly. Fort 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.
