This prayer is from Jes...- A PRAYER FROM JESUS - <br /><br />This prayer is from Jesus that we may hear from Him, that He may speak to our hearts. It only consist of three simple steps. <br /><br />1) We need to read one scripture. This will focus us in the word that brings everlasting life.<br /><br />2) Since this prayer is from Jesus we need to direct our prayer to Him personally. Too often Christian focus they're prayer's to G_D the father. Scripture proclaims that Jesus can be the focus of our prayer. <br /><br />3) The simplest part of this Prayer is to ask Jesus one question. Please, all that is required for this question is that it should be simple. Let Jesus Himself finish the question when He gives you that understanding in this prayer. <br /><br /> <br /><br />The PRAYER <br /> <br />The scripture that is the focus of this prayer is "ACTS 2:38". It's not necessary to do any study into this scripture. Jesus Himself will bestow the understanding that will resonate in your heart.<br /><br /> The most important part of this prayer is that we need to direct our prayer directly to Jesus. If you normally would say Father in your prayer, change your focus from the Father to Christ Jesus, by lifting Jesus name up every time you would normally use Father in your prayer. <br /><br /> Maybe the hardest part of this prayer is the question that we need to ask Jesus. For man as we are, always try's to understand the question instead of listening to the answer. The simplest question is all that is required. <br /><br />Simply ask Jesus 'WHY'Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3500036.post-52009272123070422842010-07-16T13:32:47.704-04:002010-07-16T13:32:47.704-04:00You're right (it is more complicated than quan...You're right (it is more complicated than quantum physics)...<br />I was thinking OBP was (H+W)/AB, but it is (H+W) / (AB+W) [they add back the walks, instead of subtracting it in other stats].<br /><br />I am leaving of sac-flies and hbp...nedbrekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13484011165536152141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3500036.post-52245054621562253942010-07-16T11:09:56.046-04:002010-07-16T11:09:56.046-04:00nedbrek,
