It's All About Jesus: Lectio Divina

Tuesday

Lectio Divina

I’ve found this ancient practice of Lectio Divina a very meaningful way to read n' pray the Bible. By reading slow, in this contemplative prayerful manner the passages open up; like peeling an onion... reveling layer after layer, giving me a deeper insight to the meaning of the Word.

This short video describes the process of Lectio Divina and walks us through a passage from Psalms. Listen to the still small voice of God as you read and meditate.

Thank you hopechapelsantarosa n' youtube...

Divine Jesus, Son of the Living God, have mercy on us and on the whole world...

Blessings,
Elizabeth

The Christ Candle has been a spiritual focal point at our Bible studies and prayer groups. The white linen appearance flecked with specks of gold is symbolic of the purity and royalty of Christ the King. The subtle fragrance does not overpower but compliments our gatherings. We are drawn into its light and are reminded of the true Light of the World, our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. How wonderful to have a candle designed with Him in mind, the creator of all the universe. Sandy Justin Nisswa, MN

4 Elements Prayer...

Father God, you created the four elements of the world… fire, air, water, and earth. The Holy Spirit keeps them so closely connected and bound together that none can be separated from the others. The building blocks of the cosmos… just as they hold the world together so do they form the structure of our bodies. From fire we have the warmth of our bodies; from air we have our breath; from water we have our blood and from earth we have the muscles n’ bones… our bodies. We give thanks to the fire for our sight, air for our hearing, water for movement and earth for our ability to walk. I ask Dear Lord, that they fulfill their purpose correctly and orderly… that the plumb line of these elements bring balance and healing to my body. I ask in the Holy Name of Jesus… Amen! 3x - Glory be to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit… Amen

Vatican Prayer

God of justice, there are places in this world overflowing with food, but others where there is not enough and where the hungry and the sick are many. God of peace, there are those in this world who profit from violence and war and others who because of war and violence are forced to leave their homes and become refugees. God of compassion, Help us to understand that we cannot live by money alone but that we can live by the word of God. Help us to understand that we cannot attain life and true prosperity except by loving God and obeying his will and his teaching. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.

Prayer for Life

"Father, today we pray that the eyes and hearts of our nation would be opened to see that the injustice of abortion affects all of us. It is a human rights issue.

"Under God's law each one of us is valued. Every human being is endowed by God with the right to life. He has designed each one of us and prepared a plan for our life. Help us as individuals, and as a nation to return to being a nation that brings honor to you by honoring the life that you created.

"We ask these things in the name of your precious Son, who died that we might have abundant life. Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Amen."

Please, pray for Israel...

What I want to share with you right now, as I feel an urgency within my spirit, is our role and privilege to stand with Israel at this time! If we truly profess to follow the God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob/Israel whether we are Jews or grafted in and we believed in Messiah Yeshua then we have the responsibility to stand with them at this hour! Especially if we are grafted in though we may not be living in the land at this time what concerns Israel concerns us as fellow citizens and fellow heirs! We need to be interceding that more natural born seed would return home as is their right and privilege. We need to be interceding that more natural born seed would come to faith in Messiah Yeshua! We need to pray for the IDF(Israeli defense force) and the present government, that they would receive wisdom from Adonai. We need to pray for protection for the soldiers and civilians! We need to be tuned in to the Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit) to guide us in our prayers using the words of the Scriptures such a Psalm 91 and Psalm 83. We who are grafted in especially have a responsibility because Romans 1:16 says, "the good news is for the Jew first and then the Gentile"! We need to remember if it were not for the Jewish people we would not have the Scriptures! They have guarded them from the beginning of time we need to be grateful and stand with them during their time of need and their right to exist as a nation! We also need to pray for the enemy of Israel that they would be free from the kingdom of darkness... into the Kingdom of Light!
