ow again I pray in memory of words spoken long ago
Remembering certain of christ's teachings which show
that I was not departing from christian tradition
When I attained a religious experience that was great
at the time I was feeling dissatisfied with my mental state
and thirsting to rise to a better spiritual condition
And also sincerely within my heart mind and soul
feeling that sorrow of reprentance the saints extolled
Remembering how Christ sent forth the twelve pair by pair
and gave them power over unclean spirits through prayer
And commanded them that they should go on their journey
with no scrip no bread and in their purse no money
just a staff and the sandals they wore and one coat only
And christ said unto them, when you enter into a house somewhere
then abide in that house until ye are ready to depart
and if they shall not receive and hear you when you depart from there
shake the dust off your feet as a sign against their evil hearts
Verily I say unto you it shall be more tolerable
for Sodom and Gomorrhah in the day of judgements terrible
than for that city that rejected you and caused you trouble
And the disciples went out, and preached that men should repent
and cast out devils in the name of Yayzoos by whom they were sent
and anointed with oil many that were sick and healed them
in the name of the Son of God Christ Yayzoos of Bethlehem
So God help me to develop inside repentance of the kind
that is right for me and good for my heart sould and mind
Help me God so that these memories of words spoken in scripture
help me to rise to a mentality that's better and higher
wherein my heart mind and soul and God are closer to each other
And in general aside from such specific memories
help me God to rise closer to thee in heart mind and soul please
Heal me God so that I'm cleansed of my sins and forgiven
and heal me of the mental and physical injuries within
that I have inflicted on myself through my sins
so my sins do'nt keep me from drawing closer to God in heaven
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 persons everywhere
I ask these things of thee God in the angel bestowed name
of thy Son Yayzoos who by the name Jesus is famed
