God again I salute you with words put into verse I now pray to you asking that you would give me your attention and help me to balance self-hypnosis and self-affirmation with the thirst for God that does'nt pretend there is no thirst Because regarding prayer one of the lessons that Yayzoos did say was that we should believe we'll receive the things for which we pray but my greatest experience of the religious kind occurred at a time when the feeling in my mind was one of being dissatisfied with the way I was feeling and also filled with the feeling of strongly desiring to move on to a better state in which I'd have a strong feeling of having and being able to feel God's spirit within Which reminds me that a prophet of old who God led once in prayer in speaking of his feeling for God said As the hart panteth after the brooks of water so panteth my soul after thee O God our father my soul thirsteth for God, for the living God the creator And a prophet of Yayzoos who came after christ the king speaks to us from the pages of the new scriptures, saying, The Spirit and bride say come and let him that heareth say, come and let the thirsty come drink the water of life of God's kingdom And Yayzoos the Son of God himself speaks to us from scripture and speaks to us the following words about thirst Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness, I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end I will give unto him who experiences thirstiness freely of the fountain of the water of life that I send and according to the scriptures when Yayzoos was punished when Yayzoos was dying on the cross when he was killed that the scriptures of earlier prophets might be fulfilled his last words were, I thirst, and then, it is finished God, I have come to realize with regards to God's Spirit that sometimes God is with me even though I ca'nt feel it but anyway God help me to thirst after God's Spirit in a godly way that's according to your will regarding it and excepting those for whom it is not the will of God in heaven that we should ask God to give such things to such persons all things I ask for myself now in this prayer I ask also for all people everywhere I ask these things of thee God in the angel bestowed name of thy son Yayzoos who by the name Jesus is famed |
