HOW TO PRAY. EXPLORING REVELATION 1:3-6
Max takes a few minutes to remind us not to treat God like cosmic vending machine. When we pray and ask God for things, those things should be commensurate with his will. Today's message, following, is based on Revelation 1:3-6.

I’ll say this and I’ll say this with immediate and instant effect. That the 1611 version reads better and makes more sense and hits harder and more soundly than any other translation there is. That’s the true word of God and nothing else can compare. Great work for proving to us that it is and I for one will not forsake it no matter what fool opposes it.
Hello Duncan! Personally . . my understanding that the Auth1611 is the best translation (in large part through John's and Reg's work online) greatly adds to the depth of my understanding of the Truth as a Christian. But it was the Holy Spirit that guided me to this realization . . so I had the in-dwelt Holy Spirit before I knew the complete Truth that is the Auth1611. Many were saved before the 1611, and I believe many are saved without this understanding afterwards. Many who use other translations are still asking Jesus Christ to show them the complete Truth like I did . . so I try not to make the Auth1611 discussion a contentious one with those who do not yet fully grasp the issue. Refer them to John and Reg's videos. They are the best that I know at explaining it.
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. 6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly. 7 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. 8 Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him. 9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. 10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. 11 Give us this day our daily bread. 12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. 13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. 14 For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: 15 but if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
. . He told us the manner by which we are to pray. Your Father knows what you have need of before you ask him
