How Jesus Prayed

 

How Jesus Prayed


Jesus went off alone to pray.

Matthew14:23 And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there alone.


Not making a big public show of praying.

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.

6:6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy room, 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.


Jesus had sensible conversations with his father.

Not mindless repetitions and chanting.

Matthew 6:7 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.

6:8 Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.


When his disciples asked Jesus for a more formal pray, Jesus gave his disciples the Our Father.

Matthew 6:9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

6:10 Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

6:11 Give us this day our daily bread.

6:12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.

6:13 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.


You will be judged as you judge other people.

Matthew 6:14 For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:

6:15 But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.


Similarly, Luke 11:1-4

Luke 11:1 And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.

11:2 And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth.

11:3 Give us day by day our daily bread.

11:4 And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil.

How Jesus Healed People, And How You Can Too, A Scientific Explanation

How Jesus Healed People, And How You Can Too, A Scientific Explanation

"Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, drive out demons.

Freely you have received; freely give."

Matthew 10:8

Jesus healed a lot of people, of physical and psychological illnesses, by using scientifically valid methods.

Such as:

1: the faith [placebo] effect;

2: the healing touch;

3: therapeutic massage;

4: simple remedies like poultices;

5: prayer and fasting.

And, Jesus wanted everyone, not just Christians, to use his healing methods.


People Who Are Not Christians

Jesus wanted other people, who were not his disciples, to be healed and to heal people.

Even to use his name to do it.

John spoke up, "Master, we saw a man driving out demons in your name, and we told him to stop, because he doesn't belong to our group."
Luke 9:49

"Do not try to stop him," Jesus said to him and to the other disciples, "because whoever is not against you is for you."
Luke 9:50


A Scientific Explanation Of The Healing Miracles Of Jesus

Jesus first used the placebo effect.

Or, a simple remedy like the healing touch, massage, poultices.

And, if that did not work, then prayer and fasting.


The Placebo Faith Effect

If people are healed by their faith in a dummy, medical drug, then how much more so by their faith in a deity.


The Healing Touch

In the healing touch there is a transfer of energy.

"All the people tried to touch him, for the power was going out from him and healing them all."
Luke 6:19. See also Luke 9:43-4


Massage

The disciples, "rubbed olive-oil on many sick people and healed them."
Mark 6:13.


When The Placebo Effect Does Not Work


Prayer And Fasting

Jesus said, "there is no way of casting out such spirits as this except by prayer and fasting."
Matthew 17:21


Prayer to calm the soul.

Fasting to purify the body.


Prayer calms the soul and reduces stress which causes or makes diseases worse.

Fasting purifies the body of the toxins that cause most chronic and acute disease.

Deficiencies are the other major cause of disease.


Fasting cleans cholesterol out of your arteries, uric acid out of your arthritic joints, ...

Fasting also dulls pain.

And, prayer and fasting, like the placebo effect, works on everyone including atheists.


Warning - Before Fasting

Fasting could do you more harm than good.

People with diseases, such as diabetes, should be extremely careful, and seek advice from appropriate people.

If you have never fasted before, you could start off by skipping breakfast.

Then have some days when you only eat once.

That is 24 hour fasts.

Eventually, you could try a 2 or 3 day fast, once per month.

There is no need to do fasts any longer or any more often.
