Oh Heavenly Father,

I pray thee dear master, king of kings, lord of lords, that thou might find favor in me that I might be desirable to be saved. I ask for lowliness of heart, that I am ready as a little child, that desires your teachings and guidance in life and the unfortunate deathly experiences upon your footstool earth.

Heaven is your almighty throne. I eat daily bread and have taken the wine in honoring thy memory and find myself unworthy of life as I have fell short and sinned often. I see some men sin in failure to act in mercy and love, in not helping relieve your suffering thru the relief of the suffering of your children that make up your creations and body, as I sometimes also fail. While others, including myself at times, act in arrogance, short anger, stubbornness like a beast with a burdening yoke. I desire more human behavior as we are created in your image and I know we should reflect that image of man and woman to others.

I confess my sins and imperfections and laziness of heart with prayers of desire to serve thee so that I might receive of thy holy spirit in more comfort and fruits of your spirit. That some might be helped for them to have happiness and peace, things they're in need of, as I have at times received, rest as well at the end of the day. I desire to offer thee works meet for repentance as I repent daily and help others filled with your love for me and them. The happy and joyful family my heart truly desires, along with the hopes of eternal rest from my infirmities and labors.

I pray for our enemies that you might bring them your way also, as an enemy that is no longer an enemy is close to being a friend. May we forgive as thy children should and make ammends when our brothers have ought against us.

In thy beloved sons name, our lord and savior Jesus the Christ,

Amen

Dear Heavenly Father,

I know thou art good and desires all to return to thee. I know thou find worth in things I see as worthless. Thou art wise above all earthly wisdom.

As though hast said, them that call themselves Christians I am to see them as the children of God and should help in any way thou desire.

As I start my day I ask for thy gift of faith to serve thee, and I hope to honor thee as I know only Jesus did at the savior level and also mankind example level. I pray for your spirit for protection, healing and guidance. I also pray the same for my christian family as we serve thee.

I know thou art with the sinners and the righteous are not in need of the physician. I find myself among the sinners at times and desire to help those thou desirest to help, I'll try to identify their sins and hope to remember the teachings you gave me regarding aid to them. I hope to desire their salvation instead of pointing out their faults to myself and others. If I falter in serving the sinners and falter myself along the way I pray you might bare me upright again. I pray for help also from your angels that serve thee at thy command and direction and I know you are with them. I pray to follow thy commands and directions also.

I pray thou might relieve me of being a hypocrite that I confess my sins and that though heal me that I may forsake them and go on.

In love,

The little spirit child in a grown up body among them like me. Your image. I know our earthly children sometimes become our likeness in behavior and even appearance which helps parents to love them. As we serve and invest time and effort love grows. I pray and know you resurrect mankind back to your image from the dead into life forever more. I also know you desire to give and bring gifts as you have in times past. Thank you for being you. A good person, God and example.

I pray to not look down on the images of God made into mankind, my own, or others. You create great things made for goodness. Thank you.

Amen

Is this how you speak to people? God doesn't need your fanciest language. He just wants honest conversation, not stage speech.

He cares about the inside, not how fancy we can word it. Be real, be honest and be yourself. He loves you as you are, not as you think you must speak and write.

That prayer is revelation from God in the holy spirit for a reason. Guided by God in ways.

Certain topics are covered in it for a reason. Members, feel free and welcome to add to it. Please be polite and stay on the thread topic. And "please" try to use reservation in criticizing.

to new readers regarding the various forum discussions and areas:

Members here, obviously come from different denominations and even "non denominational".

Some even are promoting for sales on youtube channels, their preferred denominational specific preachers and books, etc.

Some just like things their way.

Remember we are all unique and God loves diversity in his creations. We all have something special and perhaps unique to offer together.

Also please keep in mind the intended spirit of the forum, we are members of various groups and should respect each others rights and differences.

Cheers,

@Raccoon1010

So are you saying, you dictated this directly from god? Does God speak in King James still?
Do you have something to add to the prayer or is this some personal issue you have with the King James Version (KJV)? Saying that in a friendly way really for discussion purposes.

Do you think God doesn't use the KJV? That would then be a denominational preference your attempting to enforce really, as many denominations actually still use the king James Version (KJV) among other traditional versions. Perhaps God was speaking to them partly.

The KJV is actually a type of old English language, it is dressed up and orthodox for a reason, so that we remember his majesty when we are addressing God the Father in worship and prayer thru Christ his son. Let me introduce him to you also as John the Revelator had, He is the King of Kings and Lord of Lords together with his beloved Son and their Holy Spirit and Spirits, Jesus the almighty Christ, the Almighty creator of all things good, honorable and dignified and redeemer of the fallen. God they are. And honestly the only persons truly worthy of rule, and does establish rulers in his kingdom and lordship as his name identifies.

God is quite loving as some Christians know and yet others exploit. He loves both honest child prayer and heart felt expressions, humble and true, pure of heart, while also enjoying honoring him as a great creator, savior and risen glorious God. He obviously is with us as a deeply caring Father. There are times for both types of worship.

I know some denominations go dressed down in appearance, language and worship, while others prefer a more reverent honoring type like orthodox churches.

Cheers!

God loves all types of his creations and hope we have as Christians for all to return to our loving Christian family. A praceful earth, like what God intended for us, and he enforces peace, provides peace, enjoys peace. Joy in loving service and love among members of his body and congregations, denominations here on earth as it is like in heaven.

God decides what he likes as worship and praise towards them, the Gods trinity and God unity.

He has little spirit children that worship in various, divers ways and leads all who desire, who love and get to know him, to peaceful eternal life and eventual rest in him and him in us as the scriptures testify of.

We represent various denominations and God knows how to work with their individual and collective unique ways and needs.

Some fear God and others say they love God. There are scriptures referencing those that both fear and love him. Perfect love casteth out fear.

There are those that know to fear him and that truns us around at times. God's direction is in the spirit to love him and our neighbors. And we do the best we can.

I wonder if it is similar to the warm or cold lesson from Revelation? God rains on the just and unjust, also causes the sun to rise likewise.

And what is luke warm?

[edited 20251204]

Is that the righteous, not in need of a physician? Full of the richness of obeying what they believe to be righteous ways. Feeling secure by their obedience to principles and ways taught to them in various denominations. Denominations that debate and argue regarding which way is correct?

Luke warm? I don't think so if the righteous are engaged in works meet for repentance offering love and self sacrifice in faith before God and neighbor. And not luke warm but instead engaged in helping God lead the sinners and ungodly back to safety in witness, example, charities and works. A light among lights for God to shine forth.

Food for thought.

‐‐----------------

Revelation 3:

14 And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;

15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.

16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.

17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:

18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.

19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.

20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

21 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.

22 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

The sinners prayer is awesome. I think its good to guide and aid people on the journey ahead. Its hard but productive and fruitful. But, we must absorb the nature of the spirit to suvive and stay focused.

Hi,

I know some priests get to work with healthy congregations, while other witnesses work in areas that are fairly sinful unfortunately for whatever reason. Enemy areas are forbidden as my direction from the lord. There are areas of the world dangerous to Christians and some are called to serve in those areas. People originating in those areas as well as the receive of Christ's witness.
