This Easter Sunday sermon completes the series "Seven Ways to Make Space in Your Life for God." The focus is on the spiritual discipline of "Prayer". The 5 postures of prayer are discussed and suggested as ways to enhance your prayer experience; the 4 kinds of prayer: Adoration, Confession, Thanksgiving and Supplication are explored as additional ways to expand your prayer repetoire. And the practice of "breath prayers" is taught and experienced. Breath prayers have two parts: as you breathe in you think of a Biblical Word for God (Lord, Shepherd Divine Healer are some suggestions) As you breathe out you think of and pray a God-given desire (have mercy on me, fill my mind with your love, grant me peace of mind, etc.)
The traditional historic "Jesus Prayer" Lord Jesus, have mercy on me, a sinner. is one such breath prayer. Many others are suggested and practiced during this sermon. Breath prayers can be for your self or for others. they are designed to bring you into the presence of the Lord. They bring a deep sense of nearness to God. they are brief simple prayers of "being" rather than "doing." (click here) http://www.seaviewbaptist.com/podcast/20070408.mp3
