Jesus' prayer for Divine Love

Jesus’ prayer as given to Mr. James. E. Padgett in 1914, and as published in the Angelic Revelations of Divine Truth. Originally from the Padgett Messages.




The Prayer for Divine Love



OUR FATHER, WHO ART IN HEAVEN, WE RECOGNISE THAT THOU ART ALL HOLY AND LOVING AND MERCIFUL, AND THAT WE ARE THY CHILDREN, AND NOT THE SUBSERVIENT, SINFUL AND DEPRAVED CREATURES THAT OUR FALSE TEACHERS WOULD HAVE US BELIEVE.

THAT WE ARE THE GREATEST OF THY CREATIONS, AND THE MOST WONDERFUL OF ALL THY HANDIWORK'S, AND THE OBJECTS OF THY GREAT SOUL’S LOVE AND TENDEREST CARE.



THAT THY WILL IS THAT WE BECOME AT-ONE WITH THEE AND PARTAKE OF THY GREAT LOVE WHICH THOU HAST BESTOWED UPON US THROUGH THY MERCY, AND DESIRE THAT WE BECOME, IN TRUTH, THY CHILDREN THROUGH LOVE, AND NOT THROUGH THE SACRIFICE AND DEATH OF ANY OF THY CREATURES.



WE PRAY THAT THOU WILL OPEN UP OUR SOULS TO THE INFLOWING OF THY LOVE, AND THAT THEN WILL COME THY HOLY SPIRIT TO BRING INTO OUR SOULS THIS, THY DIVINE LOVE, IN GREAT ABUNDANCE, UNTIL OUR SOULS SHALL BE TRANSFORMED INTO THE VERY ESSENCE OF THYSELF; AND THAT THERE WILL COME TO US FAITH – SUCH FAITH AS WILL CAUSE US TO REALISE THAT WE ARE TRULY THY CHILDREN AND ONE WITH THEE IN VERY SUBSTANCE, AND NOT IN IMAGE ONLY.



LET US HAVE SUCH FAITH AS WILL CAUSE US TO KNOW THAT THOU ART OUR FATHER, AND THE BESTOWER OF EVERY GOOD AND PERFECT GIFT, AND THAT ONLY WE, OURSELVES, CAN PREVENT THY LOVE CHANGING US FROM THE MORTAL INTO THE IMMORTAL.



LET US NEVER CEASE TO REALISE THAT THY LOVE IS WAITING FOR EACH AND ALL OF US, AND, THAT WHEN WE COME TO THEE IN FAITH AND EARNEST ASPIRATION, THY LOVE WILL NEVER BE WITHHOLDEN FROM US.



KEEP US IN THE SHADOW OF THY LOVE EVERY HOUR AND MOMENT OF OUR LIVES, AND HELP US TO OVERCOME ALL TEMPTATIONS OF THE FLESH, AND THE INFLUENCE OF THE POWERS OF THE EVIL ONES WHO SO CONSTANTLY SURROUND US AND ENDEAVOUR TO TURN OUR THOUGHTS AWAY FROM THEE TO THE PLEASURES AND ALLUREMENTS OF THIS WORLD.



WE THANK THEE FOR THY LOVE AND THE PRIVILEGE OF RECEIVING IT, AND WE BELIEVE THAT THOU ART OUR FATHER – THE LOVING FATHER WHO SMILES UPON US IN OUR WEAKNESS, AND IS ALWAYS READY TO HELP US AND TAKE US TO THY ARMS OF LOVE.



WE PRAY THUS WITH ALL THE EARNESTNESS AND SINCERE LONGINGS OF OUR SOULS, AND, TRUSTING IN THY LOVE, GIVE THEE ALL THE GLORY AND HONOUR AND LOVE THAT OUR FINITE SOULS CAN GIVE.



AMEN.


Matthew 6:5 - "And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward."

Believing Jesus died on the cross for our sins is preached by men who just want to be seen and heard by others. It sounds like IMO that the verse you quoted is talking about those people, they are the hypocrites and preach the idea that all Christians believe, that Jesus died for our sins.

We are ALL One with the Father, we are no different from Jesus, the only difference is that stories were fabricated around and into Jesus' life and words.

S&F OP, I agree with everything the speech said, the answer lies within all of us, we just have to seek it instead of getting caught and stuck in man made dogma and religious doctrine.

Such a true passage. One that too many overlook.

I agree we are no different than Jesus. I love the man and I would preach if I could but I'm such a sloth. Jesus went face to face with god based on faith alone. Protected to suppresses humanity potential when it comes time mistranslations?

To love Jesus is to love everybody, including yourself.

??? I thought Jesus and God were the same being?
