Now again I pray in memory of scriptures we esteem remembering certain of christ's teachings which seem to show that I was not departing from christianity when I attained a religious high that was greater than gold at the time I was feeling dissatisfied with my state of soul and thirsting to rise to a better and higher mentality and also sincerely within my heart mind and soul inside feeling that feeling of repentance and an absence of pride remembering how after John who baptized christ was imprisoned in fulfillment of the words Isaiah the prophet had spoken when Isaiah said, the people which sat in darkness saw great light they which sat in the shadow of death have seen it light the night Yayzoos came preaching the gospel in the Galilee land saying, the time is fulfilled and the kingdom of God is at hand repent ye, and believe the gospel and obey its commands and how he assailed the towns where most of his mighty works were done because they repented not when they heard the preaching of God's son saying, woe unto thee Bethsaida! Woe unto thee Chorazin! for if the great works I did amongst you that left you uninspired had been done long ago in Sidon and Tyre in sackcloth and ashes they would have repented of their sins I say unto you on the day of judgements of heaven and hellfire it will be worse for you than it will be for Sidon and Tyre and thou, Capernaum, which art exalted unto heaven shall be brought down into hell on the day of judgement for if the mighty works done in thee had been done in Sodom land it would now be a living city not just ashes in the sand I say unto you that when the day of judgement shall come it shall be worse for you than it will be for the land of sodom So help me God to develop inside repentance that is real that is right for me and that helps my heart mind and soul to heal help me God so these memories of words spoken in ancient days help my heart mind and soul to rise to better and higher ways wherein I posess the mental gifts I ask for when I pray and in general aside from such specific scriptures help me God so that my soul and God draw closer to each other Heal me God so that through forgiveness my sins are washed away and heal me of the mental and physical injuries that I've caused to myself through my sinful thoughts and activities so my sins do'nt keep me from getting what I ask for when I pray and excepting those for whom it is not the will of God in heaven that we should ask God to give such things to such persons all things I ask for myself now in this prayer I ask also for all persons everywhere I ask these things of thee God in the angel bestowed name of thy son Yayzoos who by the name Jesus is famed |
