John Wesley's Tracts on Prayer by John Wesley Pdf

This is the 2nd Edition of John Wesley's Tracts on Prayer published by furocious studios (revised Aug 2017). The contents of this book are similar to those found in The Works of the Rev John Wesley - Volume Xi used for the first edition. Used in this edition are the original booklets with substantive capitalization found in early 18th Century. The main difference in this book from the original booklets is the modern text-type rather than Caslon. Other than that this book keeps the original style especially the European English spellings. These editions are preserved here in flavour with John Wesley's Prayer Collection. They have nice little surprises like Wesley's Preface. Little touches like that keep this book from being redundant with other collections of Wesley's work. There are also Hymns added to the collection of Prayers for Children and a tiny delightful booklet called GRACES perfect to make this book complete.

Three Simple Rules by Bishop Rueben P. Job Pdf

In Three Simple Rules, Rueben Job offers an interpretation of John Wesley's General Rules for today's readers. For individual reading or group study, this insightful work calls us to mutual respect, unity and a deeper daily relationship with God. This simple but challenging look at three commands, "do no harm, do good, stay in love with God," calls us to mutual respect, unity, and a deeper relationship with God. “Every year I review the three general rules of the United Methodist Church with those who are being ordained. Now I have a wonderful ordination gift to give them in Bishop Job’s, Three Simple Rules, to start and deepen the conversation as they enter a new relationship with the church. Bishop Job has described “by attending upon all the ordinances of God” to be to “stay in love with God.” It’s a fresh language that speaks especially to long-time Christians and United Methodists.” Sally Dyck, Resident Bishop, Minnesota Area “Three Simple Rules is a new catechism for everyone wanting to follow Jesus Christ. These practices for holy living should replace the membership vows in every church! Don’t let the title fool you. Bishop Job writes, ‘The rules are simple, but the way is not easy. Only those with great courage will attempt it, and only those with great faith will be able to walk this exciting and demanding way.’” John Hopkins, Resident Bishop, East Ohio Area Table of Contents: Introduction The World In Which We Live First Do No Harm Do All the Good You Can Stay in Love with God A Guide for Daily Prayer

Praying in Public by Pat Quinn Pdf

A Comprehensive Guide to Corporate Prayer God commands his people to pray together and answers graciously when they do. The Bible specifically calls on church leaders to guide this essential form of corporate worship, but it can be challenging to pray boldly and confidently in front of others. This practical, step-by-step guide was created to help pastors and church leaders pray thoughtfully and biblically in public. Through seven guiding principles, Pat Quinn illustrates how to lead prayers of adoration, confession, and supplication to God, and covers the history of public prayer in Scripture. He also includes elegant, reverent, gospel-centered examples from the Latin Liturgy, John Calvin, the Puritans, John Wesley, and others, as well as many examples of his own congregational prayers. Pastors and church leaders will learn to glorify God more passionately, effectively intercede for the church and the world, and find joy—not fear—in praying publicly.

Wesley's Forms of Prayer 1733 by John Wesley Pdf

This 1733 publication, John Wesley's first, arose out of his own devotional life. Originally, it was a collection of prayers compiled for his pupils and colleagues at Oxford. The content was drawn from a popular Anglican devotional manual first published twelve years earlier (1721), The True Church of England Man's Companion in the Closet; or, A Complete Manual of Private Devotion.The book, compiled by Nathaniel Spinckes, included prayers for morning and evening every day of the week, beginning with Sunday. Wesley not only revised the prayer which he reprinted from Spinckes, but assigned them to different days and times. He used other sources in addition to Spinckes, and may have added original prayers of his own.The preface is clearly Wesley's own, which he revised after sharing a draft with his father. Wesley also added a list of "particular questions" for self-examination before evening prayer each day and a briefer series of "general questions" for use every morning prefixed to the prayers for Monday. Here Wesley was following a practice of Western spiritual advisers from Robert Nelson and others in the 17th century back to Ignatius of Loyola in the 16th century.When Wesley revised the book for its fifth edition in 1740, he omitted the questions for self-examination and made the volume more suitable for general use by substituting "family" for "college" in several places. The elimination of the questions may have been in response to brother Samuel Wesley's criticism that the emphasis on self-examination was "mystic nonsense." Editions after 1755, including that in Wesley's collected works, restored the questions. Along the way, hymns were also added making later editions a popular book of worship for Methodist families and societies.

Dr. Duewel gives specific Bible promises that we can claim in these intercessory prayers.

Touch the World through Prayer provides step-by-step plans for making a prayer list, organizing a prayer circle, and holding a prayer retreat for your Christian friends who have a burden for missions.

Praying in the Wesleyan Spirit by Paul Wesley Chilcote,John Wesley,Charles Wesley Pdf

John Wesley (1703 - 1791), one of the greatest preachers of all time, preached more than 40,000 sermons. Wesley's sermons centered on God's unconditional love, freely offered to all through Christ. Wesley preached at coal mines and in fields and sparked a great spiritual renewal. Wesley's published sermons instructed the people in Christian discipleship and explained the core understandings of the Methodist movement. Praying in the Wesleyan Spirit offers contemporary readers an approach to Wesley's spiritual depth. Author Paul Chilcote has transposed 52 of Wesley's standard sermons into flowing devotional prayers that are written in contemporary language, yet faithful to Wesley's message. A scripture reference and a hymn by Charles Wesley accompany each prayer. The prayers offer a means of reflecting on such topics as salvation by faith, yearning for God, and Christian perfection. Like Wesley's sermons, these prayers show a concern to reveal how God works in the world. The prayers also engage the head and hands and heart in the same way that Wesley understood Christian discipleship. With 52 prayers, readers may pray one prayer a week for a year and immerse themselves in a "short course" in Wesleyan thought and theology. This one-of-a-kind prayer book will introduce readers to a rich heritage of Christian discipleship and is a "must have" devotional book for those active in the Wesleyan tradition. A Scripture Index and a Hymn Index are also included.
