12 Bible Verses to Show How Jesus Prayed

By John Daniel
1. Mark 1:35
Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where he prayed.
2. Matthew 6:9-13
"This, then, is how you should pray: "'Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.'
3. Matthew 11:25-26
At that time Jesus said, "I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, for this was your good pleasure.
4. Matthew 14:23
After he had dismissed them, he went up on a mountainside by himself to pray. When evening came, he was there alone.
5. Luke 6:12
One of those days Jesus went out to a mountainside to pray, and spent the night praying to God.
6. Luke 22:32
But I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers."
7. Luke 22:41-44
He withdrew about a stone's throw beyond them, knelt down and prayed, "Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done." An angel from heaven appeared to him and strengthened him. And being in anguish, he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground.
8. Luke 23:34
Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing." And they divided up his clothes by casting lots.
9. John 11:41-42
So they took away the stone. Then Jesus looked up and said, "Father, I thank you that you have heard me. I knew that you always hear me, but I said this for the benefit of the people standing here, that they may believe that you sent me."
10. John 12:27-28
"Now my heart is troubled, and what shall I say? 'Father, save me from this hour'? No, it was for this very reason I came to this hour. Father, glorify your name!" Then a voice came from heaven, "I have glorified it, and will glorify it again."
11. John 17:1-26
After Jesus said this, he looked toward heaven and prayed: "Father, the time has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify you. For you granted him authority over all people that he might give eternal life to all those you have given him. Now this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent. I have brought you glory on earth by completing the work you gave me to do. And now, Father, glorify me in your presence with the glory I had with you before the world began. "I have revealed you to those whom you gave me out of the world. They were yours; you gave them to me and they have obeyed your word. Now they know that everything you have given me comes from you. For I gave them the words you gave me and they accepted them. They knew with certainty that I came from you, and they believed that you sent me. I pray for them. I am not praying for the world, but for those you have given me, for they are yours. All I have is yours, and all you have is mine. And glory has come to me through them. I will remain in the world no longer, but they are still in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them by the power of your name--the name you gave me--so that they may be one as we are one. While I was with them, I protected them and kept them safe by that name you gave me. None has been lost except the one doomed to destruction so that Scripture would be fulfilled. "I am coming to you now, but I say these things while I am still in the world, so that they may have the full measure of my joy within them. I have given them your word and the world has hated them, for they are not of the world any more than I am of the world. My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one. They are not of the world, even as I am not of it. Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth. As you sent me into the world, I have sent them into the world. For them I sanctify myself, that they too may be truly sanctified. "My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one: I in them and you in me. May they be brought to complete unity to let the world know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me. "Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, and to see my glory, the glory you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world. "Righteous Father, though the world does not know you, I know you, and they know that you have sent me. I have made you known to them, and will continue to make you known in order that the love you have for me may be in them and that I myself may be in them."
12. Hebrews 5:7
During the days of Jesus' life on earth, he offered up prayers and petitions with loud cries and tears to the one who could save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverent submission.

Prophecy for June 2013. John Fenn. Church Without walls International


The week before last I was asking the Father about the fall when He said: “There is coming a spirit of confusion on the United States later this year. It will be marked by uncertainty, fear, and not knowing what to do next. There will be several elements coming together later this summer and fall rather than a single event, though there will be benchmark events along the way. In fact, there will be benchmark events of greater note next year for the effects of this fall will carry over into next year.” A few days later when I was asking the Father about the economy in particular He said: “What you are witnessing is the purposeful measured decline of the US dollar.” He didn’t say anything else except that, letting the silence between us hang there…Usually that means ‘Think it through, John, search it out, do your homework’.

So many things He says are about root or spiritual elements rather than headline events. Unfortunately people look for headlines, not realizing He often speaks of subtle causes that if mentioned in the news at all, make the back pages, yet they pave the way to a future headline.
               
For instance, most Americans recognize December, 7, 1941 as the day Japan attacked Pearl Harbor. But do people know the reason for the attack was that earlier in the year the US, Britain, and The Netherlands had frozen Japanese assets, making it impossible for them to buy oil. In desperation they felt they had to make war to get the US to lift the oil embargo. By comparison, the way the Father speaks often is to tell of the embargo rather than the headline making event of December 7, 1941.    
               
Jesus did this when He spoke of end times conditions like love turning cold, rumors of wars, and to look to the fig tree (Israel) for clues to the season of His coming – rather than foretelling specific headline making events.           
               
So when He speaks of confusion, uncertainty, and fear this fall, my mind goes not to the fall, but what is happening now and in the past several months, as well as this summer (starts Friday the 21st). You can sense the uneasiness even now in the US, so we will be watching for subtle decisions, reports, and events that are laying the groundwork for an interesting fall.
               
People ask what I am looking at – well, I know historically in 1929 the Stock Market hit all-time highs just weeks before the crash in October. I understand many people with health insurance now will have it abruptly canceled later this year and be forced to choose new programs later this year due to Obamacare requirements. The Federal Reserve has said it may reduce, or even increase, the policy of $85 billion a month purchase of assets to shore up the US economy. Internationally I am watching Turkey, Syria, Israel, Russia and Iran.
               
While I watch the news, my main focus is on what the Father is saying. What He is saying to me is peace, provision, just be about your business. You may recall after the March, 2011 Japan earthquake and in the first parts of the ‘Arab Spring’, the Lord appeared to me and I was able to ask Him about Egypt and Japan. He told me a couple things and then said, “But what are these to you? You must be about the Father’s business.”                                                                                                                               
Of course He was quoting Himself when He was about 12 years old, when Mary and Joseph had been looking for Him in the caravan leaving Jerusalem after the feast. He was so focused on being about the Father’s business for His life, that events of the world (and family in His case) didn't affect His focus.

What this told me was that life will continue all around us as the course of the world unfolds, but not to be caught up in it, just keep focused on what He asks us to do today, this day, this week, this month – In the middle of that focus is His provision and supply, His peace and assurance.

So I am not concerned that some will be confused this summer & fall, nor concerned that some will be afraid and not know what to do next. We DO know what to do, we are not afraid, we are not confused at all because we see the times and seasons. We can't be moved by other’s ignorance and fear, we must seek Him and His righteousness because we are His kids and part of His family and He takes care of His own. There is great rest in that.  Thanks for being in our lives!

Blessings,

From abortion to euthanasia, the question is the value of life. Countries that have opened the door to euthanasia are now reporting alarmingly high rates of doctor assisted death. For example, when first opening the door to euthanasia Belgium authorities said it would be fore rare cases only where a patients suffering could not be treated. In 2003 they had 235 cases of euthanasia. In 2011 this number sky rocketed to 1133. Ten years after Belgium legalized euthanasia 1 out of 100 deaths in the nation are the result of it.
An article recently sent to us by Alain Caron put it this way:
"What are they talking about in Belgium these days? Allowing minors to be able to request euthanasia. Mrs. Carine Brochier, from the European Institute of Bioethics, who has been fighting against euthanasia since the beginning, said in the interview, “Who will judge the maturity of this child when we refuse him the right at 14 years old to buy a pack of cigarettes or a bottle of alcohol or to get married? There are legal acts a child can not legally do, yet the most serious act, to put an end to one’s life, we will authorise him to do, on the pretext of an intolerable suffering.”
The Canadian reporter then asked her, “What message would you give to the Quebecois who are about to debate that question?” Her answer: “Don’t open the door, don’t open the door (…) What we need to try to learn again is how to become the best with palliative care and not the best with euthanasia.'"

Woolwich soldier beheading. This black Muslim couldn't even teach children in any Islamic country. Men never do evil so eagerly as when they do it from a religious conviction. Religion by definition is a return to bondage to appease DEITY. So religion teaches to steal kill and destroy. And you have great reward in heaven. But pure religion before God is to visit widows and orphans in their affliction to keep yourself free from sin. The following video discusses some of these topics.
