Father, jernard is a parish 16 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:15,500 priest of the mud edit Parish of the Assyrian Church of the East 17 00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:16,900 and Turlock. California. 18 00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:20,800 Here's father. Jernard a close friend of mine 19 00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:24,500 mentioned to me that he's quite amused when he he's the wood 20 00:01:24,700 --> 00:01:28,100 cliche. In regards to praying each time 21 00:01:28,100 --> 00:01:32,400 I mentioned on these episodes. Codes that we need to pray. 22 00:01:32,900 --> 00:01:36,100 One of the solutions of every circumstance and issue is 23 00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:40,700 praying, but he went on to say and asked me if I could present 24 00:01:40,700 --> 00:01:45,800 a program or an episode on the, the acts of praying, how do we 25 00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:47,400 pray? What do we do? 26 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:49,200 What do we say? How do we start? 27 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,100 Well, there are two forms of prayer. 28 00:01:52,500 --> 00:01:57,000 There are two acts of prayer, am I say it's the personal prayer, 29 00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,400 the private prayer as an individual. 30 00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:02,900 An So Christian and there is the prayer of the community of 31 00:02:02,900 --> 00:02:05,400 Believers or Christians, which is the church. 32 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:10,800 Now the church has said liturgies, that is formulas 33 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:15,700 order. A form for both of these acts of 34 00:02:15,700 --> 00:02:20,600 prayers, be it personal private or a community prayer? 35 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:25,000 And the reason why is that? So, God is praised is 36 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:31,300 approached, that God is besieged that God is Searched for, or 37 00:02:31,300 --> 00:02:35,900 seeked. If there is such a word, God is 38 00:02:35,900 --> 00:02:42,100 communicated with In Worship in, reverence, in honor in 39 00:02:42,100 --> 00:02:46,000 confession, that is found in order. 40 00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:52,000 We call in a Syrian Ariza You here in the court, when the the 41 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:57,500 judge is pounding, his gavel Order in the Court Order in the 42 00:02:57,500 --> 00:03:03,000 Court and he warns that he will halt in contempt, those who 43 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:09,200 don't hold or honor, the Order in the Court, in his courtroom. 44 00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:14,500 You know, most of the judges will quote this my courtroom and 45 00:03:14,500 --> 00:03:17,000 why? Because there is going to be a 46 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:24,400 judgment passed on the case. That has been heard how much 47 00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:28,100 more there should be order in the, in the court house of the 48 00:03:28,100 --> 00:03:32,400 Lord, that is the church, or they should be order in our 49 00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:35,100 prayer. Life, in our walk with Jesus 50 00:03:35,100 --> 00:03:41,800 Christ, Saint Paul writes to the Corinthians which had a very 51 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:46,700 chaotic gathering in the church in his first epistle to the 52 00:03:46,700 --> 00:03:53,100 Corinthians 14:33. He writes because God is not the 53 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:58,800 author of tumult, that is as the dictionary defines. 54 00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:02,700 It allowed confused noise, especially one caused by a large 55 00:04:02,700 --> 00:04:06,800 mass of people, but our God is a god of peace mean. 56 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:12,000 Meaning order Tranquility, as in all churches of the Saints. 57 00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:18,399 We see an order in the Praises and worship of the angels as we 58 00:04:18,399 --> 00:04:22,500 speak in heaven. In the Heavenly Realms. 59 00:04:23,100 --> 00:04:28,700 Isaiah saw this in a vision and rotated in chapter 6 verses 1 to 60 00:04:28,700 --> 00:04:34,700 3 in the year that Asia the king died or Asia. 61 00:04:35,300 --> 00:04:38,000 The king died. I saw the Lord God sitting on a 62 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:42,200 throne high and exalted, whose roof filled his Temple, and 63 00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:45,700 seraphim was standing. Our team around him above him. 64 00:04:45,700 --> 00:04:48,400 I'm sorry, six wings to each one of them. 65 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:57,700 We sing this in the Liturgy of the Eucharist, the seraphim of 66 00:04:57,700 --> 00:05:04,600 fire and Spirit i'lli'll, come to church on an English service 67 00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:08,900 and you'll hear it in English. He writes and serve him was 68 00:05:08,900 --> 00:05:12,700 standing above him. Six wings to each of them with 69 00:05:12,700 --> 00:05:15,400 two covering his face. He's talking individually with 70 00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:19,500 the angels, and with to covering his feet and with two, they were 71 00:05:19,500 --> 00:05:26,600 flying and they were calling this one to another or this one 72 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:30,400 to that one. See, when you enter the church 73 00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:33,800 during a service, you see that there are two we call. 74 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:38,000 Gouda doesn't mean walls means to companies the left and the 75 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:43,900 right the first, and the last and one company resides one. 76 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:49,000 The sum and the other company, repeat replies, one sings and 77 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:50,900 the other. Sing, this is all from the 78 00:05:50,900 --> 00:05:55,300 vision of Isaiah and they were saying, holy, holy, holy Lord. 79 00:05:55,300 --> 00:05:59,100 God, of hosts, for all of the Earth is filled with his 80 00:05:59,100 --> 00:06:02,600 Praises. See, one was saying to another, 81 00:06:02,700 --> 00:06:06,400 in an orderly manner, in a peaceful manner. 82 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:13,000 Now, let me state that this does by no means discouraged. 83 00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:17,100 Our Individual private prayer in solitude. 84 00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:23,400 Or personal prayer between us and God, the father, and the 85 00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:25,800 Son. And the Holy Spirit, this 86 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:30,900 doesn't discourage or do away with these individual present 87 00:06:30,900 --> 00:06:37,200 every time and every season and at every place some of the quick 88 00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:38,900 prayers would call the Jesus prayer. 89 00:06:38,900 --> 00:06:42,200 For example, Lord Jesus Son of God had mercy on me a sinner. 90 00:06:42,900 --> 00:06:46,200 That's that's theology theological this theology behind 91 00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:50,800 it but in inside Chapter 70 or some 70, verse 1. 92 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:54,500 This is an amazing prayer. O God hastin to deliver me. 93 00:06:54,500 --> 00:06:57,700 Hurry up, hurry to deliver me. Lord O. 94 00:06:57,700 --> 00:07:02,500 Lord hastened to my help be quick, hurry to my help and my 95 00:07:02,500 --> 00:07:05,400 assistant specially, when we are down and we are in some 96 00:07:05,500 --> 00:07:11,100 difficult circumstances, but even during this procession, we 97 00:07:11,100 --> 00:07:17,400 can establish an order as I said during the procession our 98 00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:21,200 private And and individual Precision, we can establish an 99 00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:26,400 order and a great model is the morning, prayers model, the 100 00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:29,500 morning prayers that are prayed at church. 101 00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:33,400 And I'd like to recite and share with you the morning prayer of 102 00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:38,600 the Ascension that is going up ascending of Our Lord into 103 00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,100 heaven. And let me share this with you. 104 00:07:41,100 --> 00:07:43,500 It's amazing. It goes like this. 105 00:07:43,500 --> 00:07:49,100 You oh, glorious light from heaven and it Eight instructs. 106 00:07:49,100 --> 00:07:51,000 That we should repeat. Why? 107 00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,800 Because when you repeat something you're emphasizing, 108 00:07:54,100 --> 00:07:58,100 that's why Jesus repeats. Truly truly, I say to you or 109 00:07:58,400 --> 00:07:59,900 amen. I'm in that means. 110 00:07:59,900 --> 00:08:01,300 Yes. Yes. 111 00:08:01,300 --> 00:08:04,400 I say to you.

It's an Adoration of the 129 00:09:22,300 --> 00:09:28,700 reverence of the sovereignty of the Holiness of the Supreme and 130 00:09:28,700 --> 00:09:31,300 unspeakable power, and glory of God. 131 00:09:31,900 --> 00:09:35,100 Why must we begin with adoration? 132 00:09:35,300 --> 00:09:39,100 Why do the liturgical prayers all commence? 133 00:09:39,100 --> 00:09:42,300 Most of them commence with adoration adoring. 134 00:09:42,300 --> 00:09:46,800 God does God need the service service of his servants? 135 00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:50,100 Does he need our adoration when we adore God? 136 00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:53,400 God does his glory sovereignty, power increased, no. 137 00:09:53,700 --> 00:10:00,000 But when we do adore him, it is for our own growth and faith and 138 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:04,600 certainty. When you totally adore someone 139 00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:08,000 you love someone. You respect, someone you admire 140 00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:12,700 someone that person is not in Greedy, increasing, but when you 141 00:10:12,700 --> 00:10:15,600 want to show the love, you will show that genuine love. 142 00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:21,200 And it's also an instruction from God, Deuteronomy 6:4. 143 00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:28,000 Hear Israel or listen Harkin. Take heed Israel, the Lord God, 144 00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:32,000 our God Lord God is one love the Lord. 145 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:36,000 God your God, from all your heart, and from all your soul. 146 00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:40,200 And from all your possessions admire and honor him. 147 00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:45,600 So start with a duration. Adoring God's holiness and 148 00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:50,200 righteousness not necessarily theologically and spiritually. 149 00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:55,000 Poetic words know, the simple words that the spirit will 150 00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:58,800 intercede and cause to come out of your mouth. 151 00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:05,100 Adore this Lord Jesus Christ. And once we have come to that 152 00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:07,800 adoration where we begin to feel that. 153 00:11:08,300 --> 00:11:13,400 Oh my, where am I entering? Whose presence am I in. 154 00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:17,300 Entering and in. What state am I entering in the 155 00:11:17,300 --> 00:11:20,100 fall and state in a miserable state? 156 00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:26,400 In a sinful state, which brings us to the next Session of our 157 00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:31,500 prayer or next part of the prayer, which is to confess 158 00:11:32,900 --> 00:11:37,900 confess our weakness before the adorned God that we have, 159 00:11:37,900 --> 00:11:43,400 admired confess our weakness, our sinfulness our 160 00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:47,400 unrighteousness because of our sins and transgressions. 161 00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:53,900 This comes after admission that we are in need of the mercies 162 00:11:53,900 --> 00:11:59,500 and Compassion of God admission. Admitting that we are sinners. 163 00:11:59,700 --> 00:12:03,100 It's contrary to denial. You see The Prodigal Son? 164 00:12:03,900 --> 00:12:06,800 The the scripture specifically says. 165 00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:11,500 And when he had come to himself come to his senses, he admitted 166 00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:15,500 he was alerted. And then and then knowing where 167 00:12:15,500 --> 00:12:19,400 he is, is because of his foolishness confessing that here 168 00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:25,600 I am dying here of hunger. Then he Hands up and returns. 169 00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:28,400 There's a repentance returns back to the father. 170 00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:34,000 We've been promised beloved that when we confess and confess, 171 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:41,400 genuinely remorse lie. with tears, the Lord will hear and 172 00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:46,800 will forgive the first Epistle of John chapter 1 verses 9 to 173 00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:49,300 10. But if we confess our sins, he 174 00:12:49,300 --> 00:12:54,200 is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and he will 175 00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:58,600 Purge us from all our evil. And if we say that we have not 176 00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:02,300 sinned, look at what happens when we are in denial. 177 00:13:02,500 --> 00:13:06,200 We make him that is Christ a liar and his word is not within 178 00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:08,800 us. So right now, if you're thinking 179 00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:13,700 what me, and I'll be if you only could see who you're preaching. 180 00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:17,500 Two or presenting this message to me. 181 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:22,200 The most Dreadful of the Dreadful that if I confess 182 00:13:22,500 --> 00:13:24,700 sincerely, yes.
