Recollection Entry 18 Prayer

March 9 2023 9:47 PM

Hi everyone, here’s a word document I created while explaining to my sister concepts from the Bible, while she read the Bible starting from Genesis the Old Testament. Since I made it, I figured I might as well post it online too, in case anyone else can find it comes in handy! :) Christ blesses you all my friends! :D

In a nutshell, God punishes evil only temporarily, everyone will be saved. God has unconditional love for all (Jhn 3:16). Everyone will become believers in Christ with faith alone and be saved. Believe in Jesus with faith alone and gain permanent salvation.

JEREMIAH 32:27, 32, 37, 40 I am the Lord, the God of all mankind. Is anything too hard for me? ...The people of Israel and Judas have provoked me by all the evil they have done ...I will surely gather them from all the lands where I banish them in my furies anger and great wrath ...I will make an everlasting covenant with them: I will never stop doing good to them.

How to Pray 101

No anxiety. Ask for things, and say “Thank you” when you do receive it. If you ask for something evil, God won’t give it to you. Sometimes

Philippians 4:6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.

Secrecy, not bragging about prayer. Nothing fancy.

Matthew 6:6 But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.

Confess sins, blessing others, helping heal others. Confess means asking for forgiveness.

Catholics have confession booth, you don’t need a special booth though. You can just tell God and He will forgive you. You don’t have to tell some random priest in some random room. Be very careful when you make promises

James 5:16 Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working.

No empty words. In pagan rituals they would repeat “sacred” words over and over again. Like lets say supercalifragilisticexpialidocious over and over again. It just becomes meaningless.

Matthew 6:7 “And when you pray, do not heap up empty phrases as the Gentiles do, for they think that they will be heard for their many words.

Default Template. Like in Microsoft Word. You can pray how you want. Just general guidelines. You don’t have to say this like exactly, or even have the same sentence structure.

Matthew 6:9-13 Pray then like this: “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

Don’t repeat words like Matthew.

Different fear types

Why we don’t do evil

Galatians 6:7 Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.

If we plant bad seeds, we grow bad fruit.

If we plant good seeds, we grow good fruit.

7 day creation week = 7000 years.

A thousand years in your sight

are like a day that has just gone by,

or like a watch in the night

7 represents completion, God’s holy number.

Matthew 18:22 T hen Peter came to Jesus and asked, “Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother or sister who sins against me? Up to seven times?” Jesus answered, “I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times.

Lake of fire, metaphoric blacksmith who’s refining metal. Only temporary mental anguish.

ISAIAH 48:10 See, I have refined you ... I have tested you in the furnace of affliction.

Why it’s important to treat parts of the Bible as metaphors (such as with the furnace of affliction).

Psalm 137:9 Happy is the one who seizes your infants and dashes them against the rocks.

Psalm 18:2 The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.

not physically striking your child with a rod, because that provokes them to anger, literally biologically it activates their anger hormone, so it’s a metaphor

Proverbs 23:13-14 Do not withhold discipline from a child; if you punish them with the rod, they will not die.

EVIL

backwards is LIVE

thus anything evil is anything that shortens your life, anything that destroys life.

Romans 5:3-5 https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans%205:3-5&version=NIV

Romans 5:3-5

New International Version

3 Not only so, but we[a] also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; 4 perseverance, character; and character, hope. 5 And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.

As I typed this, I saw her with me reading the Holy Bible, asking me questions about Genesis and answering them. It truly warmed my heart and gave my great joy. For me this shows that all atheists will eventually become believers in Christ and be saved. She had said before that “the Bible is not fact” and now she is reading the Bible. It’s a big contrast, and it shows that prayer and love can move mountains :D So just like how I will never give up on my sister to believe in Jesus, so too will the Lord never give up on all His children, His sheep, the whole world, to believe in Jesus and be permanently saved.

EZEKIEL 18:23 Have I any desire, says the Lord God, for the death of a wicked man? Will I not rather that he should mend his ways and live?

My mother also came and I respectfully disagreed with her theological position of Forever Conscious Torment. I showed her the Lamentations verse of “The Lord will not cast off forever” among others. Just sort of casually. Like, I don’t want to get into any really intense debates, since I lover her because she literally gave birth to me. It can be tricky when talking to loved one’s about Christian Universalism. I’m just thankful that I could get the idea of Universal Salvation through Christ to my sister before my mother could give her the false ideas of ECT. I don’t blame my mother, I love her, she’s kind and nice, so I just separate the ECT false belief from her personality.

LAMENTATIONS 3:31-33 For men are not cast off by the Lord forever. Though he may punish cruelly, yet he will have compassion in the fullness of his love; he does not willingly afflict or punish any mortal man.
