This document discusses the importance of prayer and keeping an "open door" with God. It provides several biblical references about asking God for help and receiving answers through persistent prayer. The key aspects of having God's open door are having little strength but keeping God's word and being faithful to His name. The document encourages praying regularly, especially in private, and not giving up on prayer, as this is vital to maintaining a strong spiritual life and influence. Prayer is suggested for many concerns, and the fire of devotion through prayer should not be allowed to grow dim.

As we had mentioned before that what God wants us to do is what we can do, but we live in a world controlled by the devil, so we will be brainwashed and like to do things that we can’t do. Then, we will be trapped in a desperate mood, because these things are generally undefined, or humans can’t do it at all, but our energy is spent on whether we achieve it, and we don’t calm down and think about what God has said. And exactly what God wants us to do, this is the focus of this chapter

Sometimes I often hear someone to say, I have a relationship with God, but what kind of relationship? Is it like Chinese saying, If there is relationship, then, there is no concern. However, if there is no relationship, then, it is a big concerns. However what kind of relationship, due to polite reasons, usually don't carefully ask in the world. The language of the world is often like this, it will not be clear. But it is also because of this, the conflict between each other can be reduced, but this is a false appearance. One day, you will know that it is a misunderstanding between each other.

The nārāyaṇīyam (pronounced naaraayaneeyam or IPA: [nɑːrɑːjəɳiːjəm]) condenses the Bhagavata Purana into 1034 verses, divided into one hundred dasakam, or cantos. The work occupies a very high place in Sanskrit literature, both because of the intense devotional fervour of the verses, and because of their extraordinary literary merit. Thenārāyanīyam is one of the most popular religious texts in Kerala and Tamil Nadu, and devout Hindus often recite it together in festivals and groups.
Nārāyanīyam is the story of Lord Narayana. It is a work consisting of 1034 slokas or verses, divided into 100 dasakams or chapters, each dasakam consisting of approximately 10 slokas. It is a condensed version of Bhagavata Purana, which consists of 18,000 slokas authored by Veda Vyasa. It is said that the work has the blessings of Lord Krishna or Guruvayoorappan, the presiding Deity of Guruvayur.
Narayaneeyam narrates a series of episodes from the Bhagavata Purana, choosing the most pious of the lot. The incarnations of Vishnu are traced with piety, Bhattathiri transforms the episodes into solemn prayers, pouring out his soul in total supplication before the Lord. The final dasaka, Kesadipaada Varnanam, embodies top-to-toe picture of little Krishna in all grace and glory .
Both as a poem and as a devotional hymn, Narayaneeyam occupies a very high place in Sanskrit literature.
Narayaneeyam is the master piece of Melpathur and is the most widely read of all his works.The poet depicts the image of Lord Guruvayurappan, in exemplary terms - "Sammohanam Mohanal Kantham Kanthinidhanathopi, Madhuram Madhurya Dhuryadapi, Soundaryotharathopi Sundaratharam"
The ‘Parayana' of Narayaneeyam is believed to possess the wonderful power of healing afflictions, both mental and physical, of the devotees. The "Nithyaparayana” of Narayaneeyam will enable the devotees to attain " Ayurarogyasoukhyam”.
Narayaneeya Sapthaham ( the recitation of Narayaneeyam and explaining the meaning to the public) is conducted in Guruvayur temple by Devaswom on the Narayaneeya Dinam and by others as offerings. It is done for seven consecutive days from early morning till 6.10 pm in the evening. Narayaneeya Sapthaham has started in Guruvayur in the early 50's. It takes about 5 hours to read the slokas and about 45 hours for explaining the slokas.
The day on which Narayaneeyam was completed, 28th Vrichikam, is celebrated by the Devaswom as Narayaneeyam day. Discourses and debates on Narayaneeyam written by Melpathur take place. Special functions are held at Melpathur Illapparambu also.
God's wrath, God's Will - Jesus Christ, God's Will - Church God's Will - The...franktsao4
The descent of the plague this time was large, violent, and wide-ranging, showing the wrath of God, but why is God so wrathful? If we put ourselves in the perspective of God, He sent Jesus Christ to pave the way for us to live a true and living eternal life. The price is the life of His single beloved Son. He established the church. He hope the church can continue to carry out this mission. However, is the church obeying God's command? And does the church interpret the Bible in accordance with God's will? Do those who participate in the church have salvation? If the answer to the above is no, it is no wonder that God is so angry.
Today I hope to demonstrate the life & power which comes from the Word of God.
I will try to convict you of the need to access this life & power by reading, studying, & getting to know God's Word.
I will introduce you to your judge.
This prayer model is from the book "The Hour That Changes the World". The author presents 12 sections of prayer that if practiced for 5 minutes each would accumulate an hour of prayer a day for the development of a habit of prayer. Eventually, once the habit is developed, a more intimate, personal prayer devotion can be created. Very useful for those who want to know how to pray.

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

13. Rev 3:7-8
These are the words of him who is holy and
true, who holds the key of David. What he
opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no
one can open. 8 I know your deeds. See, I have
placed before you an open door that no one can
shut. I know that you have little strength, yet
you have kept my word and have not denied my
name.
24. Prayer that OPENS DOOR
Rev 4:1
After this I looked, and there before me was
a door standing open in heaven. And the voice
I had first heard speaking to me like a trumpet
said, “Come up here, and I will show you what
must take place after this.”
25. Luke 11
9
“So I say to you: Ask and it will be given
to you; seek and you will find; knock and
the door will be opened to you. 10 For
everyone who asks receives; the one who
seeks finds; and to the one who knocks,
the door will be opened.
26. Luke 18
The Parable of the Persistent Widow
1
Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them
that they should always pray and not give up. 2 He
said: “In a certain town there was a judge who neither
feared God nor cared what people thought. 3 And
there was a widow in that town who kept coming to
him with the plea, ‘Grant me justice against my
adversary.’
27. Luke 18
The Parable of the Persistent Widow
4
“For some time he refused. But finally he said to
himself, ‘Even though I don’t fear God or care what
people think, 5 yet because this widow keeps
bothering me, I will see that she gets justice, so that
she won’t eventually come and attack me!’”
28. Luke 18
The Parable of the Persistent Widow
6
And the Lord said, “Listen to what the unjust judge
says. 7 And will not God bring about justice for his
chosen ones, who cry out to him day and night? Will
he keep putting them off? 8 I tell you, he will see that
they get justice, and quickly. However, when the Son
of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?”
29. “Lord, this day I will come to certain doors
that are locked but I shall use these keys
to open those doors. And may I remember
this day that there is a key to every
situation, a solution to every problem.
May I never surrender to one of life’s
locked doors. Instead, may I use the keys
on the key ring of prayer until I find the
right key and the door be opened.”
30. He who lives without prayer, he who lives with
little prayer, he who seldom reads the Word, and he
who seldom looks up to heaven for a fresh influence
from on high—he will be the man whose heart will
become dry and barren. However, he who falls in
secret on his God, who spends much time in holy
retirement, who delights to meditate on the words of
the Most High, and whose soul is given up to Christ—
such a man must have an overflowing heart. As his
heart is, such will his life be.
Spurgeon
31. Keep the altar of private prayer burning. This is the
very life of all piety. The sanctuary and family altars
borrow their fires here, therefore let this burn well.
Secret devotion is the very essence, evidence, and
barometer, of vital and experimental religion. Burn
here the fat of your sacrifices. Let your closet seasons
be, if possible, regular, frequent, and undisturbed.
Effectual prayer availeth much.
32. Have you nothing to pray for? Let us suggest the
Church, the ministry, your own soul, your children,
your relations, your neighbours, your country, and
the cause of God and truth throughout the world. Let
us examine ourselves on this important matter.
33. Do we engage with lukewarmness in private
devotion? Is the fire of devotion burning dimly in our
hearts? Do the chariot wheels drag heavily? If so, let
us be alarmed at this sign of decay. Let us go with
weeping, and ask for the Spirit of grace and of
supplications. Let us set apart special seasons
for extraordinary prayer.
34. For if this fire should be smothered beneath the ashes
of a worldly conformity, it will dim the fire on the
family altar, and lessen our influence both in the
Church and in the world.
Spurgeon
