PATH 1 and PATH 2:
How to Pray
The Messiah (# DAN 9:25-26 # JOH 13:15 # LUK 10:22) told us how to
pray. In the Lord's prayer example (# MAT 6:9-13) the first 3 things already existed,
when Jesus explained to us how to pray, as well as the last 3 things. The
things sandwiched in between can be prayed for, get it. (# JOH 14:21 # EXO 20:6)
Do not tell your prayers to anyone, until they are fulfilled,
otherwise you are asking for a sign.
ISA 59:1
Behold, the LORD'S hand is not shortened, that it cannot save;
neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear:
ISA 59:2
But your iniquities have separated between you and your God,
and your sins have hid [his] face from you,
that he will not hear.
ISA 1:15
And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you:
yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: (# JER 8:13 # LEV 25:23)
your hands are full of blood. (# REV 15:2-3 # NUM 15:15-16 # ZEC 14:16-19)
ISA 1:16
Wash you, make you clean; (# JOH 15:3,7-8 # LUK 14:27 # REV 7:14 # MAT 26:27-28)
put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes;
cease to do evil; (# DEU 18:17-19 # JOH 8:28 17:8 8:31-32 # ISA 45:19)
1SA 2:30
Wherefore the LORD God of Israel saith,
I said indeed [that] thy house, and the house of thy father,
should walk before me for ever:
but now the LORD saith,
Be it far from me;
for them that honour me I will honour, (# ISA 58:13 # MAL 3:18 # MAT 12:37 # EZE 18:5)
and they that despise me shall be lightly esteemed.
MAL 2:13
And this have ye done again, (# MAL 2:10-12, # EXO 20:1-3)
covering the altar of the LORD with tears, with weeping,
and with crying out,
insomuch that he regardeth not the offering any more, (# NUM 15:22-29 red heifer)
or receiveth it with good will at your hand. (# ISA 1:15-16 59:1-2 # JER 14:10-12)
JOH 15:10
If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love;
even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.
JOH 14:21
He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them,
he it is that loveth me:
and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father,
and I will love him,
and will manifest myself to him.
JER 7:23
But this thing commanded I them, saying,
Obey my voice,
and I will be your God, and ye shall be my people:
and walk ye in all the ways that I have commanded you,
that it may be well unto you.
LUK 6:47
Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings,
and doeth them,
I will show you to whom he is like:
LUK 6:48
He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep,
and laid the foundation on a rock:
and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house,
and could not shake it:
for it was founded upon a rock.
(# DEU 32:4 31:15-16,19,24,30 32:4 18:17-19 # JOH 8:28 12:49 # LUK 16:31)
JOH 15:3
Now ye are clean through the word
which I have spoken unto you.
JOH 14:23
Jesus answered and said unto him,
If a man love me, he will keep my words:
and my Father will love him,
and we will come unto him,
and make our abode with him.
(# JOH 14:3-4,6 # REV 21:2-4,7,22-24)
MAT 6:9
After this manner therefore pray ye: (# LUK 11:2-4,1)

Our Father which art in heaven, (# HOS 4:3 # EZE 38:20 # JOH 3:13 # 2KI 2:11)
Hallowed be thy name. (# LEV 19:2 11:44-45, # NUM 15:40 # EXO 20:1-17)
(content of your prayer)
Thankyou Father, thankyou Jesus.
MAT 6:13
/ For thine is the kingdom, (# DAN 11:21 2:44 # EXO 19:5)
and the power, (# MAT 24:29-31, # EXO 32:11, # DEU 4:37)
and the glory, (# LUK 2:9-11, # EZE 1:26-28, # REV 21:23)
for ever. (# EZE 37:28,26-28 36:27)
I pray this prayer in Jesus name. (# JOH 14:14 16:23 # ISA 9:6 7:14)
Amen. (A thankyou prayer is appropriate, after being answered.)
JOH 16:23
And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. (# JOH 14:2-3 # LUK 19:23)
Verily, verily, I say unto you,

and it shall be done unto you. (PATH 2: # JOE 2:32 # ISA 6:11-13)
JOH 15:8
Herein is my Father glorified,
that ye bear much fruit;
(# EZE 3:21 # LUK 24:47 # EZE 18:21-23 # LEV 19:2 # NUM 15:40 # DEU 4:13 # ISA 56:6-8 # MAT 19:16-17)
so shall ye be my disciples.
