This document discusses how to prepare one's heart for listening prayer through confession of sin and trusting in God rather than giving in to fear. It explores how denying sins and fear can make our hearts unclean and hinder hearing from God. The document provides scriptures and prayers focused on cleansing the heart by confessing sin, surrendering to God, resisting the devil, and humbling oneself before God to receive his guidance.
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.

Complete abandonment of desires (vasana, mental conditioning) is called the best state of liberation (moksha) and is the only pure step towards happiness.
The absence of desires leads to the extinction of mental actions, in the same manner as the absence of cold melts small particles of ice. Our desires uphold our living bodies and bind us tightly to our bodily prison like ropes. These being loosened, the inner soul is liberated.
Mental conditioning is of two kinds: pure and impure. The impure ones cause reincarnation, while the pure ones serve to destroy it. An impure desire is like a mist of ignorance, the stubborn feeling that one is the individual ego. The wise say that individual ego is the cause of rebirth.
Thoughts helpful in the life of the soul from Book I – The Imitation of Christ.
If only a man would never seek passing joys or entangle himself with worldly affairs, what a good conscience he would have.
In silence and quiet the devout soul advances in virtue and learns the hidden truths of Scripture.
Why wish to see what you are not permitted to have? “The world passes away and the concupiscence thereof.”
Why did Jesus have to die? The Law of God is the penalty of sin is death. God can not change this without changing Who He is. Jesus comes to each person offers to take their sin in exchange for His righteousness. He then had to die our punishment for sin so that we can receive the righteousness of God.
Jesus said to "Love your enemies." It's a revolutionary kind of love. We are to love like this because our Heavenly Father loves like this.
The message was given on Sept 22, 2013 at New City Church in Calgary by Pastor John Ferguson. For more info, go to www.NewCityChurch.ca.
It is vital that we overcome our own conceptions of Jesus and open our eyes to see His glory. Jesus is not just a man, a teacher, a wiseman, or a prophet. He is Deity. Our Creator who came to be our Savior and Lord. Seeing His glory will transform us.

Homily: The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity Sunday 2024.docxJames Knipper
Countless volumes have been written trying to explain the mystery of three persons in one true God, leaving us to resort to metaphors such as the three-leaf clover to try to comprehend the Divinity. Many of us grew up with the quintessential pyramidal Trinity structure of God at the top and Son and Spirit in opposite corners. But what if we looked at this ‘mystery’ from a different perspective? What if we shifted our language of God as a being towards the concept of God as love? What if we focused more on the relationship within the Trinity versus the persons of the Trinity? What if stopped looking at God as a noun…and instead considered God as a verb? Check it out…
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.

preparation to hear God
This session we will explore two major areas
that make our hearts unclean:
Denying our sins
Giving in to fear
We will learn how to cleanse our heart by
confessing our sin and trusting God rather than
giving in to fear.

5. How God’s words in listening prayer
can become polluted in our spirit:
13
Who is wise and understanding among you?
Let him show it by his good life, by deeds
done in the humility that comes from wisdom.
14
But if you harbor bitter envy and selfish
ambition in your hearts, do not boast about it
or deny the truth. 15
Such "wisdom" does not
come down from heaven but is earthly,
unspiritual, of the devil. - James 3:13-15
6. How God’s words in listening prayer
can become polluted in our spirit:
16
For where you have envy and selfish
ambition, there you find disorder and every
evil practice. 17
But the wisdom that comes
from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-
loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy
and good fruit, impartial and sincere.
James 3:16-17

that we are wrong?that we are wrong?
9. I am truly sorry Lord:
1
Have mercy on me, O God,
according to your unfailing love;
according to your great compassion
blot out my transgressions.
2
Wash away all my iniquity
and cleanse me from my sin.
Psalm 51:1-2
10. I Am Truly Sorry Lord:
3
For I know my transgressions,
and my sin is always before me.
4
Against you, you only, have I sinned
and done what is evil in your sight,
so that you are proved right when you
speak and justified when you judge.
Psalm 51:3-4
11. You are the only one Lord that can
get me clean again:
10
Create in me a pure heart, O God,
and renew a steadfast spirit within me.
11
Do not cast me from your presence
or take your Holy Spirit from me.
12
Restore to me the joy of your salvation
and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain
me.
Psalm 51:10-12

1
What causes fights and quarrels among you?
Don't they come from your desires that battle
within you? 2
You want something but don't
get it. You kill and covet, but you cannot have
what you want. You quarrel and fight. You
do not have, because you do not ask God.
3
When you ask, you do not receive, because
you ask with wrong motives, that you may
spend what you get on your pleasures. –
James 4:1-3
15. Prone to wander Lord I feel it, prone
to leave the Lord I love
4
You adulterous people, don't you know that
friendship with the world is hatred toward
God? Anyone who chooses to be a friend of
the world becomes an enemy of God. 5
Or do
you think Scripture says without reason that
the spirit he caused to live in us envies
intensely?
James 4:4-5
16. Heart barrier to listening prayer
that this session addresses:
We hide from God because we are embarrassed
about our sin. We think that we have to clean
up our act ourselves for a few days before we
can approach God in prayer. So the net result is
that we are constantly putting off a relationship
with God until we get ourselves straightened
out.
17. Prayer time:
Confess that you sometimes try to hide from the
Lord because you are ashamed of your sin.
Ask for the Lord’s forgiveness, and ask the
Lord to give you a clean heart.

way. Help me Lord to learn how to follow your
guidance and to hear your voice so that I may follow
you. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen
25. In prayer, declare victory over
Satan’s ability to lie to you:

Spirit shall come close and prosper.

of the Lord forever.of the Lord forever.
54. Heart barrier to approaching God
in listening prayer:
We are afraid of what will happen to us if we
really trust God. We are afraid that we will lose
our financial security if we radically trust God.
We become crippled with fear and are afraid of
seeking God’s direction for our lives for fear of
what the consequences might be if we truly
yield to the Lord’s leadership.
55. Prayer Time:
Dear Lord,
I know that you have not given us a spirit of fear,
but instead you give us your power, your love,
and a sound mind. I lay my fears down at the
foot of the cross and come what may, I trust
you.
In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen
