And today I not only want to forgive her but to pray for her healing too. Thank you Jesus. Thank you Jesus.And Lord I want to pray also for the healing of my relationship with my father. Specially Lord if my father may have died when I was small or even before I was born. And as I looked at my friends who had their daddies with them was so painful to know that I never had a daddy. Lord Jesus, we know that every girl wants and needs a father. Every boy needs and wants a mother. And you made us so that we can have both parents to bring us up together. Perhaps Lord, my father may have been there, but he was absent at work or at the war. Perhaps I may have seen him be killed with my own eyes in the troubles of whatever war was it in the past. Perhaps he was there but he may have deserted the family for another woman for whatever reason. And I had to go through the same humiliation and the pain of being in a family without a daddy. Perhaps Lord I was afraid of my father because he was so strict and abuse in his words. And that fear is still in my heart. Perhaps I was ashamed of my father because he was poor, he was jobless, he was irresponsible. Perhaps I hated him because he was an alcoholic, he was violent, he was a terror to the family. Perhaps Lord I may have had a stepfather who was anything but a father to me. Help me Lord Jesus tonight to forgive my father. To pray for his healing, to love him, to bless him and give me love Jesus an experience of a father s love. Give me Lord an experience of a mother s love. Thank you Jesus. Thank you Jesus. And Lord now I finally pray for the healing of all the other relationships of my childhood. My relationship with my own brothers and sisters. Specially Lord if I felt my parents loved that brother or that sister more than they loved me. And because of that I still feel very inferior. I feel I was not good enough for them. Heal me Lord if one of my brothers or sisters was more clever than me, more beautiful than me, more fairer than myself. Heal me Lord Jesus if during this time I went through a long, painful illness. And I could not express the pain inside me to my parents. Heal me Lord if I had a great shock, a great fright in my childhood. If I witnessed the death of a loved one. Heal me Lord specially if there were things in my childhood that affected my sexuality. Perhaps I was sexually abused by a stranger or a relative. Perhaps Lord, I went into this abuse in a boarding school and because of that I am now having various types of homosexual feelings. And Lord I know that I was not created
that way, that my present feeling is a result of those unhappy experiences of my childhood. Heal me Lord specially, heal specially those women here who were sexually misused even by a person in their authority. By an uncle, by a doctor, by a priest. Above all by one s own father or by one s own stepfather, ruining that person s life. Not enabling that person to now have a happy married life. Lord Jesus I pray that through your hole manhood you will heal every man here in their sexuality. Mary I pray that you heal every woman here in her femininity, in her womanhood. And Saint Joseph I pray, that you heal every man here in their manhood, in their manly sexuality. Thank you Jesus. Thank you Jesus. Thank you Jesus, And finally Lord we want to pray for the years of our schooling, up to our puberty. Heal me Lord if during this time I suffered the fact that I had no friends. When I saw my classmates having so many beautiful friends, but I was always lonely, I could not make friends with people. And with that came a sadness into my life. Heal me Lord if I encountered difficulties in my scholastic years. When I found it difficult to understand my lessons, difficult to study, difficult to remember the things I learned. And I experience a tremendous sense of failure. Heal me Lord if during this time there were things that have happened in my sexual life that even now make me feel very guilty. Perhaps Lord it was from this time in my life when I began to be very timid, very shy, afraid to do anything, for fear of failure, afraid of criticism, afraid of relating to people, towards every adult in my life. I began to be rebellious against all authority. I feel like running away from mu home and my family and I took refuge in the wrong friends who lead me into wrong habits. Heal me Lord if during the time of my youth I made friends with the wrong people who lead me the wrong way, who promised love, promised me support and now I realized they wanted just to use me. And my whole life is now without confidence, without hope. Lord Jesus but I believe in your promises in the scriptures, when you tell me not to look back at my past. Not to look back at the things that I had happened a long time ago, but to look ahead at what you are going to do in each one s life right now. I want to thank you for the hundreds of thousands of people whom we have made new creatures through the experience of inner healing. And Lord Jesus I ask you to put down the Holy Spirit upon every person in this place and every person looking at the TV program. And Lord in your name I invite every person to bring to you just one most important hurt in their life. Help them
to know what has been the most painful experience of their whole life. Help them Lord to bring to you that word, that event, that experience which have hurt them most in their life. And Lord Jesus ,as you now bring them this healing I know that your promise is coming through right now. And the Lord is telling each one of you tonight I will take from you that heart of stone. I will take from you that heart of unforgiveness. I will take away from you that heart of bitterness. I will take away from you that heart of fear and of anxiety. I will take away from you that heart of hate and revenge. I will take away from you that heart of self-pity of suicidal tendency. And I will give you a new heart. I will give you a heart of flesh. I will give you a heart of tenderness. I will give you a heart of compassion. I will give you a heart that will reach out every person. I will give you a forgiving heart. And I will put into you my spirit. A new spirit, my spirit. And as the choir leads us into the hymn let us ask the Lord again and again in our hearts to give us a new heart, a new life, a new start. (the end)
by Fr. Rufus PereiraIt was in the year of King Uzziah's death (a great and good king, but who unfortunately was punished by God with leprosy for offhandedly not respecting the holiness of the temple worship), that the prophet Isaiah, who was close to the King and may have been dismayed by his divine punishment, had a vision of God in the temple surrounded by angels who cried out to one another, "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God". And then Isaiah became aware of his own sinfulness too in the presence of such a holy God, "I am lost, for my eyes have looked at Yahweh, the King, I, a wretched man of unclean lips." Then one of the seraph angels took a burning coal from the altar and touched the mouth of Isaiah saying, "Now your sin is taken away and your iniquity is purged" (Is 6:1-7). This experience had made such a great impact on Isaiah that in his prophecy he constantly refers to God as the Holy One, more than any other book of the Bible does. He must have called to mind then what God says in Leviticus, the OT book on holiness, "The LORD said to Israel through Moses, 'I am the LORD your God. I am holy, and you must be holy too.'" (Lev 19:2).Be holy as I am holyGod is holy:This Holy God therefore speaks his holy word (Jer 23:9), he remembers his holy promise (Ps 105:42), he stretches forth his holy arm (Is 52:10), he is jealous of his holy name (Lev 20:3). The place where he appears is holy ground (Ex 3:5), anything set apart for his sacred use is holy, persons connected with these holy places and holy services are holy, and times given to worship are holy (Ex 12:16; 16:23 Is 58:13). Jesus himself at his conception was called the Holy One of God and the devil too recognized and acclaimed him as such, "I know who you are" (Mk 1:24). Jesus even threw a challenge to his detractors, "Can any one of you convict me of sin?" (Jn 8:46), while Pilate could find no case against him in spite of all the accusations made by the religious leaders (Jn 18:38). Hence Jesus addressed God as 'Holy Father' (Jn 17:11) and taught his disciples to pray that the name of their Father God may be held holy and to ask him to give them the Holy Spirit (Lk 11:2,13).And you must be holy:God is holy - and Christ died for the Church to make it holy. Hence both his people are to be a holy nation (1 Pet 1:15; 2:9; Eph 5:26), as well as individual Christians, his children, created in his image, are to be called the 'saints' (holy) (Rom 1:7; 1 Cor 1:2), - purified by the Holy Word of God that challenges them (Jn 17:7), and sanctified by the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass that enables them, to acknowledge their sins, not only in deeds but in words and even in thoughts, and not only in what
they have done but also in what they have failed to do, while the 'holy kiss', in the early church, was a seal of holy fellowship (1 Cor 16:20). Thousands have thus answered the call of God to become holy, as he is holy, and have lived such holy lives that the Church has even officially recognized them as holy (canonized them). And so as both the one who makes men holy and those who are made holy are of the same family, Jesus is not ashamed to call them openly his brothers (Heb 2:11).Be perfect as your Father is perfectWhile in the Old Testament God the Father calls us to be holy as he is holy, in the New Testament Jesus his Son calls us to be perfect as his and our Father is perfect.God is perfect:perfect in his way, in his word, and in his works. He is a faithful God, upright and just, who does no wrong, though in contrast Israel "has acted foolishly and corruptly toward him. He is their Father and Creator, but to their shame they are no longer his children, but a warped and crooked generation" (Deut 32:4-6). Jesus therefore came to show by word and example how his disciples should respond to a perfect God and Father. At the beginning of his ministry, on their urging him to eat, he replied, "My food is to do the will of the one who sent me, and to do it perfectly" (Jn 4:34), and at the end of his life and ministry he could state, "Done" (Jn 19:30).And you must be perfect:Once a rich young man came and asked Jesus, "What must I do to have eternal life". "Keep the commandments", he was told. "I have kept all these from my earliest days till now", he answered, "What more do I have to do?" Jesus looked at him with love and said, "There is still one thing you lack. If you wish to be perfect, then go and sell everything you own and give the money to the poor and you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me" (Mt 19:14-22). For Jesus made it clear to his disciples, "If your virtue goes no deeper than that of the Scribes and Pharisees, you will never get into the kingdom of heaven" (Mt 5:20). Thousands of men and women have done this down the centuries, following the poverty Gospel rather than the prosperity Gospel.Again to those whose religious convictions led them to love their neighbor but to hate their enemy, Jesus declared, "I tell you however: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you. In this way you will be sons of your Father in heaven, who looks after both bad men as well as good, and after honest and dishonest men alike. For if you love those who love you, what reward can you expect? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? And if you greet only your brothers, are you doing anything exceptional? Do not even pagans do that?" To Jesus
the conclusion is obvious; "You must therefore be perfect just as your heavenly Father is perfect" (Mt 5:43-48). Thus Paul's ambition is to be made perfect, though he knows he is far from it (Phil 3:12-14), and to struggle with all his energy to make everyone perfect in Christ. (Col 1:28-29), - so perfect that they are never at fault in what they say (Jas 3:1), and are able to keep their whole body in check and to love so perfectly that there is no more fear (Jas 3:18).Be compassionate as your Father is compassionateThirdly and finally we are called not only to be holy, as Leviticus, the Book of Holiness, enjoins us, by avoiding sin; and to be perfect, as Mathew's Gospel of Perfection commands us, by doing good; but to even imitate God our Father, as Luke's Gospel of Compassion urges us, by being tenderhearted.God is compassionate:Already in Exodus, the Old Testament book of God's compassion, God proclaims himself as "The LORD, but a God of tenderness and compassion, slow to anger, rich in kindness and faithfulness, maintaining love to thousands, and forgiving wickedness, rebellion and sin" (Ex 34:6,7). And in Nehemiah, the people themselves admit, "Our forefathers became arrogant and stiff-necked, forgot your wonders, refused to obey you and flouted your commands. But you are a God of forgiveness, gracious and compassionate. Therefore you did not desert them, even when they worshipped an image of a calf as their god and saviour, or when they committed awful blasphemies" (Neh 9:16-18).And you must be compassionate:It is in Exodus too that God calls on Israel to be compassionate, as he is compassionate. "If you lend money to any of my people among you who is needy, do not be like a moneylender, but charge him no interest. If you take your neighbor's cloak as a pledge, return it to him by sunset, because his cloak is the only covering he has for his body. What else will he sleep in? And if he cries out to me, I will hear him, for I am compassionate" (Ex 22:25-27). In stark contrast Jonah was very indignant and fell into a rage precisely because God showed mercy to the people of Nineveh. "That is why I was so quick to flee to Tarshish. I knew that you were a God of tenderness and compassion, slow to anger and abounding in love, who relents from sending calamity. Now, O LORD, please take away my life, for it is better for me to die than to live (as you want me to live - full of compassion like you)" (Jon 4:3).But it is in Luke's Gospel of Compassion that Jesus spells out compassion as the heart of holiness and the pinnacle of perfection. "But I tell you: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who treat you badly. If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners do that. And if you do good to those who are good
to you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners do that. And if you lend to those from whom you expect repayment, what thanks can you expect? Even sinners lend to sinners, expecting to be repaid in full. Instead, love your enemies and do good to them, and lend without any hope of return. Then your reward will be great for you will qualify to be sons of the Most High, since he himself is kind to the ungrateful and the wicked. Therefore be compassionate as your Father is compassionate" (Lk 6:27-36).On the last day God will judge the perfection and even the holiness of our lives by our compassion (Mt 25:31-46). For God is holy, God is perfect, but above all God is compassionate, - in fact God is Love, and He has called us not only to be holy and perfect but to be compassionate, for anyone who lives in love lives in God, and God lives in him (1Jn 4:16).Seja santo como Eu sou santopor Pe Rufus PereiraFoi no ano da morte do rei Uzias (um grande e um bom rei, mas que, infelizmente, foi punido por Deus com lepra para offhandedly nao respeitar a santidade do culto do templo), que o profeta Isaias, que estava perto do rei e pode foram consternados com sua punicao divina, teve uma visao de Deus no templo cercado por anjos, que gritou para o outro: "Santo, santo, santo e o Senhor Deus". E entao Isaias tornou-se consciente de sua propria pecaminosidade tambem na presenca de um Deus tao santo: "Estou perdido, porque os meus olhos olhou para o Senhor, o Rei, eu, um homem miseravel de labios impuros". Entao, um dos anjos serafim tomou uma brasa viva do altar e tocou a boca de Isaias, dizendo: "Agora, o seu pecado e tirado e sua a iniquidade e perdoada" (Is 6: 1-7). Esta experiencia fez um impacto tao grande sobre Isaias que, em sua profecia, ele constantemente se refere a Deus como o Santo, mais do que qualquer outro livro da Biblia. Ele deve ter chamado a atencao para, em seguida, o que Deus diz em Levitico, o livro OT em santidade ", disse o SENHOR a Israel por meio de Moises:" Eu sou o Senhor vosso Deus. Eu sou santo, e voce deve ser santo tambem. "(Lev 19: 2).Sede santo como eu sou santoDeus e santo:Assim, este Deus Santo fala a sua santa palavra (Jer 23: 9), ele se lembra de sua santa palavra (Sl 105: 42), ele estende seu braco santo (Is 52:10), ele esta com ciumes de seu santo nome (Lev 20 : 3). O lugar onde ele aparece e terra santa (Ex 3: 5), tudo separado para seu uso sagrado e santo, pessoas ligadas a esses lugares santos e servicos santos sao santos, e os tempos sao dadas a adoracao santa (Ex 00:16; 16:23 e 58:13). O proprio Jesus na sua concepcao foi chamado o Santo de Deus eo diabo tambem reconhecida e aclamada como tal, "Eu sei quem voce e" (Mc 01:24). Jesus ainda lancou um desafio
para seus detratores, "Pode qualquer um de voces me condenar de pecado?" (Jo 8:46), enquanto Pilatos poderia encontrar nenhum caso contra ele, apesar de todas as acusacoes feitas pelos lideres religiosos (Jo 18:38). Por isso Jesus se dirigiu a Deus como "Santo Padre" (Jo 17:11) e ensinou seus discipulos a orar para que o nome de seu Pai Deus pode ser realizada santo e pedir-lhe para dar-lhes o Espirito Santo (Lc 11: 2,13) .E voce deve ser santo:Deus e santo - e Cristo morreu para a Igreja para torna-lo santo. Assim ambas as pessoas estao a ser uma nacao santa (1 Pe 1:15; 2: 9; Ef 5:26), assim como os cristaos, individualmente, seus filhos, criados a sua imagem, estao a ser chamado de 'santos' (santo) (Rm 1: 7; 1 Corintios 1: 2), - purificado pelo Santa Palavra de Deus que os desafia (Jo 17: 7), e santificados pelo Santo Sacrificio da Missa que lhes permite, a reconhecer seus pecados , nao so em acoes, mas em palavras e ate mesmo em pensamentos, e nao apenas no que eles fizeram, mas tambem no que eles nao conseguiram fazer, enquanto o "osculo santo", na igreja primitiva, era um selo da santa comunhao (1 Corintios 16:20). Milhares de pessoas, assim, responderam ao chamado de Deus para se tornar santo, como Ele e santo, e viveram vidas tao sagrados que a Igreja reconheceu-los ainda oficialmente como santo (canonizado eles). E assim como tanto o que santifica como os que sao santificados, sao todos da mesma familia, Jesus nao se envergonha de chama-los abertamente seus irmaos (Hb 2:11).Sede perfeitos como o vosso Pai e perfeitoEnquanto no Antigo Testamento, Deus Pai nos chama para sermos santos como Ele e santo, no Novo Testamento, Jesus seu Filho nos chama a ser perfeito como seu e nosso Pai e perfeito.Deus e perfeito:perfeito em sua forma, em sua palavra, e em suas obras. Ele e um Deus fiel, justo e reto, que nao faz mal, embora em contraste Israel "agiu estupidamente e corruptamente para com ele. Ele e o seu Pai e Criador, mas a sua vergonha eles nao sao seus filhos, mas um deformado e geracao perversa "(Dt 32: 4-6). Portanto, Jesus veio para mostrar por palavras e exemplo de como seus discipulos deveriam responder a um Deus perfeito e Pai. No inicio do seu ministerio, em sua instando-o a comer, ele respondeu: "Meu alimento e fazer a vontade daquele que me enviou, e faze-lo perfeitamente" (Jo 04:34), e no final do sua vida e ministerio, ele poderia afirmar, "Done" (Jo 19:30).E voce tem que ser perfeito:Uma vez que um jovem rico veio e perguntou a Jesus: "O que devo fazer para ter a vida eterna". "Guarda os mandamentos", disseram-lhe. "Eu tenho guardado tudo isso desde os meus primeiros dias ate agora", ele respondeu: "O que mais eu tenho que fazer?" Jesus olhou para ele com amor e disse: "Ainda ha uma coisa te falta Se queres ser perfeito, vai, vende entao tudo que voce possui e de o dinheiro aos pobres e teras um tesouro no ceu;. Depois, vem
e siga-me "(Mt 19: 14-22). Para Jesus deixou claro a seus discipulos: "Se a sua virtude nao vai mais fundo do que a dos escribas e fariseus, voce nunca vai entrar no reino dos ceus" (Mt 5:20). Milhares de homens e mulheres tem feito isso ao longo dos seculos, seguindo a pobreza evangelica ao inves do Evangelho da Prosperidade.Novamente para aqueles cujas conviccoes religiosas levou-os a amar o proximo, mas odiar seu inimigo, Jesus declarou: "Digo-vos porem: Amai os vossos inimigos e orai pelos que vos perseguem Desta forma, voce vai ser filhos de seu Pai que esta nos ceus. , que cuida de homens maus, assim como boa, e depois de homens honestos e desonestos igualmente. Porque, se amais os que vos amam, que recompensa voce pode esperar? nao sao mesmo os cobradores de impostos que fazem isso? e se voce apenas cumprimentar o seu irmaos, voce esta fazendo nada de excepcional? nao mesmo os pagaos fazem isso? "Para Jesus, a conclusao e obvia; "Voce deve, portanto, ser perfeitos como vosso Pai celeste e perfeito" (Mt 5: 43-48). Assim ambicao de Paulo e para ser aperfeicoados, mas ele sabe que ele esta longe disso (Fp 3: 12-14), e lutar com toda a sua energia para fazer todo homem perfeito em Cristo. (Col 1: 28-29), - tao perfeito que eles nunca estao em falta no que dizem (Tg 3: 1), e sao capazes de manter todo o seu corpo em cheque e amar tao perfeitamente que nao ha mais medo (Tg 3:18).Seja compassivo como o vosso Pai e misericordiosoEm terceiro lugar e, finalmente, somos chamados nao apenas para ser santo, como Levitico, o Livro de Santidade, nos exorta, por evitar o pecado; e para ser perfeito, como Evangelho da Perfeicao de Mathew nos ordena, por fazer o bem; mas ao mesmo imitar Deus, nosso Pai, como Evangelho da Compaixao de Lucas nos exorta, por ser compassivos.Deus e compassivo:Ja em Exodo, livro do Antigo Testamento da compaixao de Deus, Deus se proclama como "o Senhor, mas um Deus de ternura e compaixao, lento para a colera, rico em bondade e fidelidade, mantendo o amor a milhares, e da maldade de perdao, a transgressao eo pecado "(Ex 34: 6,7). E em Neemias, o povo se admitir, "Nossos antepassados se tornou arrogante e de dura cerviz, esqueceu suas maravilhas, recusou-se a obedecer-lhe e desrespeitados seus comandos. Mas voce e um Deus de perdao, clemente e compassivo. Por isso voce nao abandona-los , mesmo quando eles adoraram uma imagem de um bezerro como seu Deus e Salvador, ou quando cometeram horriveis blasfemias "(Neemias 9: 16-18). // <![CDATA[(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});// ]]> // <![CDATA[(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});// ]]>E voce deve ser compassivo:E no Exodo tambem que Deus exorta Israel a ser compassivo, como ele e compassivo. "Se voce emprestar dinheiro a alguem do meu povo entre voces que e carente, nao ser como um agiota, mas acusa-lo sem interesse. Se voce pegar a capa de seu proximo como uma promessa, devolve-lo a ele por do sol, porque o manto e a unica cobertura que ele
