Mysteries Of The Lords Prayer

"An in-depth examination of the Lord's Prayer guided by the writings of the Church Fathers"--

The Lord's Prayer is for many people a mere collection of words that has been repeated so often that is has lost its meaning. It is in danger of becoming a repetition devoid of genuine faith. Renowned theological scholar William Barclay delineates and explicates this ancient prayer, showing us the depth of each phrase. He considers both its historical background and its application to our world today. The William Barclay Library is a collection of books addressing the great issues of the Christian faith. As one of the world's most widely read interpreters of the Bible and its meaning, William Barclay devoted his life to helping people become more faithful disciples of Jesus Christ.

Prayer is a very powerful tool for the well being of a person. It brings him hope. It makes him believe that the impossible can be a possibility. Usually however, he prays for selfish reason. Thus, when the Apostles asked Jesus to teach them how to pray, I could not help but wonder if the reason was to help others or to become well-known miracle workers. The Jews are a very prayerful people that believe in miracles. They have a tradition going back to Adam, Noah, Moses and Solomon that by the right rituals or prayers or names of God one could perform miracles. For sure the apostles knew how to pray and the holy names of God. Yet why did they ask Jesus to teach them how to pray? What could be the reason? They saw Jesus performed miracles that they could not perform. They were very much impressed that they could not suppress their desire for Jesus to teach them how. But Jesus surprised them by teaching them a simple prayer instead of a complicated ritual or prayer. The prayer that Jesus taught is now known as the "Lord's Prayer" or the "Our Father". Since then, the Apostles were able to perform the same miracles as Jesus did. Was the Lord's Prayer the key to the miracles performed by the Apostles? If so, then this must be a very powerful prayer and would answer the question why Jesus taught only one prayer. The Lord's Prayer may not be as simple as it seems. People go to seminars, buy books, search for amulets and talismans for prosperity and health and look for gurus. Why not try the prayer taught by one of the greatest spiritual teachers, Jesus? This book is the most comprehensive book ever written about the Lord's Prayer. It traces the origin of the prayer and its possible source. Was Jesus really the author of the prayer? If so, why was not the prayer mentioned in the Gospels of Mark and John nor in the writings of Paul or the Gnostics? Who placed this prayer in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke? Why is there no original Hebrew version of the prayer considering that Jesus and the Apostles were Jews and the place was Judea? This book will reveal the answers and the secret code that has been hidden from the masses but revealed to a select few. It deals also with the secret teachings of Jesus called the Kabalah, allegedly an ancient oral tradition handed down from generation to generation originating from Adam to Seth, Abraham, Moses, David to Solomon and to the High Priest. It reveals the secret of creation, the origin of man, evolution and intelligent design; the location of the Garden of Eden and the Deluge. The Code shows the relation of the Lord's Prayer to ancient civilizations like Sumer, Egypt, Israel, China and the Meso-Americans. Even the probable and possible future events are also revealed more particularly the years 2006 and 2012. The Code was discovered thru the use of the Kabalah and the Equidistant Letter Sequence used in decoding the Bible. This book reveals how to harness the power of the Lord's Prayer and how to experience the miracles performed by Jesus and the Apostles. This book will show that the Lord's Prayer is not only a prayer but is a code that reveals untold doctrines and settles issues like the following: Who was the author of the Lord's Prayer? Why did the Apostles ask Jesus to teach them how to pray? Did Jesus teach secret doctrines to the Apostles like the Kabalah? Can we perform the miracles the Apostles did? What is the speech of "Babies"? Why are ancient civilizations like Sumer, Egypt, Israel, MesoAmerica and China in the Code? Why are the Pyramids and the Sphinx mentioned in the Code and who built them? Why is President Bush in the Code? Was the September 11,2001 tragedy in the Code? Is there really an "End Time"? Why is Sen. Barack H. Obama in the Code? Another intriguing question in the book is if there are many forgeries in the New Testament, what is the truth? What matters most, the teacher or the teaching? There are many c

"I don't think I've ever met anyone who hasn't struggled with the desire to know God's will. The problem is, this struggle often involved a great deal of confusion and worry." ?Chuck Swindoll Many people have the idea that if they could just somehow find that single planned direction, they would be effortlessly swept through life. But life is not like that. Probably the most misunderstood factor of discovering God's will is the thought that, If I do this, the struggles will end, the questions are over, the answers come, and I live hapily ever after. But that's not reality. Does that mean that God's will must remain opaque to us?that we must muddle and grope blindly through life with no clue to what He wants for us? "Not at all," says Charles Swindoll. In this groundbreaking book, Swindoll invites us to join him on a spiritual quest. "I believe God's will for us in this life is not some black-and-white objective designed to take us to an appointed destination here on earth as much as it is about the journey itself . . . and what matters to Him in our lives." The Mystery of God's Will overflows with practical insights, humor, and unforgettable stories that will de-mystify, clarify, and put your mind at ease.
