MORNEAU - Prayer

Have been reading superior books on intercessory prayer by Roger Morneau (1925-1998).

Roger was once a spiritist, he communicated with evil spirits; then he was converted to be a believer in Jesus Christ.

Mr Morneau has written 4 books. Three on prayer (Incredible Answers to Prayer series: true stories of God's power to change lives. Review and Herald Publishing,) and one on his conversion from spiritualism to Christianity (Charmed by Darkness, Pacific Press Publishing Association. This book also goes by a different title: A Trip into the Supernatural, Review and Herald Publishing.)

All are worth reading, and are available at the Adventist Book Center in your state, or they can order them for you.

Real Battle

Could our spiritual vision be quickened, we should see souls bowed down under oppression and burdened with grief...and ready to die of discouragement. We should see holy angels flying swiftly to aid these tempted souls, who are standing on the brink of a high cliff.

Holy angels force back evil angels that encircle these souls, and the holy angels guide the tempted ones to stand firm on the sure Foundation.

The battles waging between the two armies of holy and evil angels are as real as those fought by earthly armies, but on the issue of spiritual conflict eternal destinies depend.

Lord's Prayer, Modernized

Our Father in Heaven, holy is Your name.
Your kingdom come, May Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven
Please give us today our spiritual and physical food.
Please forgive our sins, help us to forgive those who sin against us.
Help us not to yield to temptation, and save us from evil.
For Yours is the kingdom, and the power and the glory, for ever.
Amen.

Standards

It is a law both of the intellectual and the spiritual nature that by seeing we become changed.  The mind gradually adapts itself to the subjects upon which it is allowed to dwell.  It becomes assimilated to that which it is accustomed to love and reverence.

Man will never rise higher than his own standard of purity, goodness or truth.

  If self is his highest ideal, he will never attain to anything more exalted.  Rather, he will constantly sink lower and lower.  

The grace of God alone has power to exalt man.

Memories of Your Mind

Is your mind gripped by memories you long to forget? held by age long habits  you would give anything to be released from? bound by fears and unholy imaginations?

Know that God will deliver you. He is able! He has won the battle for your soul.  He has triumphed
over temptation. Claim His victory as your o

The devil, the enemy of God and humanity, is not willing that this priceless secret be clearly understood. Satan knows that when you receive it fully, his power will be broken.
And you will be free!

Carry Me Through

I dreamed I was trudging up a steep, sand mountain carrying a heavy load of burdens.  I kept slipping and sliding, falling down and sliding backwards.
Jesus appeared and said He would carry my heavy burdens for me, if I would only ask.
Being exhausted I merely nodded meaning that I desperately needed His help.
Jesus picked up my duffle bag of heavy burdens and placed it under His left arm, and cradled me in His right.
Jesus steadily climbed the steep high mountain of sand, His feet NEVER slipping or sliding or falling down. Trusting Him completely to get me to the top, I nodded off to sleep in perfect trust.
