IT is important that a clearer definition of prayer arise from the
present confusion.From our knowledge of the Grail Message,this unique
work by Ab-dru-shin which teaches us about things within and outside
creation,prayer must be seperated from petition.Petition is what people
seeking relief from earthly problems focus on during their comunion
with their
maker and they say they have prayed.Their misunderstanding
of the difference comes from not heeding Christ admonition that we pray
in
spirit and in truth.It also stems from the fact that people have not
studied the basic
laws of nature and therefore do not know the will of
God from where the laws emanate..Because some people do not care to study
these Laws they run foul of them even when
praying and they do not get
results they desire inspite of their pretentions.You must learn the
language of your father before you can effectively commune with him .
And if you respect your father,then you would want to know at least how
best to
approach him ,address him. You must first study his
location,and do the approach, not expecting him to come to you.Now if we
agree that
our creator is outside creation,which is His work anyway,we would also
appreciate why we need to ascend in our effort to speak to him.That is
worshipping in spirit..We have to minimise our preoccupation with earthly and bodily cares so as to to give our spirit that uplifting touch that
prepares us to approach Him who is not here with us in the same body.
So we try to move inwards ,withdraw into the spirit and speak and
listen to our maker in the unique language of our spirit with which everyone
is equally blessed.You dont need a
pastor to do that for you.Or a
praying house to
pray for you exeept you are indolent and want to be
decieved by others.Those who''pray'' for you understand this trick and
they use often use the knowledge to have advantage, to dupe you because each one must pray truly for himself. Ofcourse there is prayer of intersesion.Accepted.But not all is genuine.For the impure,their reward is surely to come.
.You only help them,pastors, to pray for themselfs under the delution that you
are benefiting but your own burden remains yours and can only be born by you
when you learn how to maintain personal relationship with your maker by
praying aright.
Now we know the secret of prayers,we also know that a place to achieve
this self comunion must be serene,without noise so as to help peoples spirits
to ascend upwards forgeting the worries of everyday life. You can understand how
difficult it is to achieve this state in the rushy mordern setting.But
has it diminished the value of prayer? The answer is no.What the
numerous paid prayer "WARRIORS " do is to escape into solitude where
they observe fast and try to withdraw for a time to achieve better perspective
about life and they return to hold a crusade and attempt to bridge the
wide gap in knowledge by laying hands on the people who are then lifted up
momentarily in what they call MIRACLES .They refrain from giving away
their knowledge of the trade secrets..These decieved people
believe the goodness they experience out of proximity is as a result of
the person praying for them and so they join their Church and go into a
life of spiritual slavery, Like having a hot shower only to join ythe cold again.Akin to working on clutches when your legs
are okay.
WE shall continue this discuss later on.
