      The Prayer of Jesus

      This book is written in response to the prayer of our Lord and saviour Jesus so that the world may know the truth and as it is stated in verse three “this is eternal life that they may know you, the only true God”.

      John Chapter 17 vs. 1-26

      1These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee: 2As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him. 3And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. 4I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do. 5And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.

      6I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word. 7Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee. 8For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me. 9I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine. 10And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them.

      11And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are. 12While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled. 13And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves. 14I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. 15I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil. 16They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

      17Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. 18As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world. 19And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.

      20Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word; 21That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. 22And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one: 23I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.

      24Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world. 25 O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me. 26And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.

      Dedication

      This book is dedicated to my teacher and guide the Holy Spirit and to my wife Margaret who has endured with me since 1988 with loving patience and to Luke Tamu, who first inspired me after my arrival in the beautiful land of New Zealand.

      Quote

      Ezekiel chapter 18:32. For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord GOD: wherefore turn yourselves, and live ye.

      Nevertheless When The Son Of Man Cometh,

      Shall He Find Faith

      This famous quote from the Lord is found in Luke 18:8 8I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth? And it might raise the question “what exactly will Jesus be looking for on His return?”. On July the twentieth 1984 I gave my life to the Lord Jesus and had a wonderful conversion to becoming a born again Christian by having a miraculous life changing experience, something I had always believed could happen right from my childhood days. I thank God for that chance meeting with a friend and ex colleague, Jenny, at two o’clock on that warm sunny afternoon in the heart of Johannesburg South Africa.

      Immediately and with enormous intensity that day the power of God became tangible and real in my life which was to take an entirely new direction to eternity. From that moment on almost every circumstance and situation in my life was about to change entirely forever. God had always blessed me with an awesome gift of empathy for people, especially the poor; this drive from within my soul has always been toward the sick and the poor. In fact the ‘down and out’, those people who seem to go through life without purpose and plan. In many chronically ill people this loss of purpose seems to become more evident especially when all hope appears to be lost. In my early days of ministry the Lord had burdened my heart with prayer for the sick and often times I was lead to prayer for those bed ridden patients in the Johannesburg general hospital as well as those that the Holy spirit lead me to on the streets of South Africa.

      I had witnessed many healings and also miracles, I believe that Jesus always heals those that are prayed for, and to think otherwise would be total unbelief. He is always willing contrary to popular religious beliefs. This fact brings me to the reason for this book and since I also do not believe that a Christian should die because clearly there is no scripture to the contrary.

      I recall one occasion when I went to prayer for a cancer patient who was “terminal” and hospitalised in a Hospice unit in Johannesburg. On arrival at the unit I announced my intentions to the person in charge and was duly denied entry because it was against house rules and besides it was policy that the patients be allowed to have a dignified death, whatever that might mean? The actions of that duty nurse that day horrified me and a holy anger rose up in my spirit, I was infuriated to think that the lies of Satan could be so effective in the life of man and that people could actually believe that God would want people to die in agony while Satan steals another life.

      The rubbish that people are led to believe through the work of the father of lies in the name of religion and science is absolutely beyond me and the plans of God for mankind. These lies can never be substantiated through the word; thank God His ways are not our ways for His thoughts are higher than our thoughts. Quite clearly the word of God has everything to do with life and life more abundantly.

      This early experience of mine seemed to give me a lift in my faith and belief in the word of God and started me on the road to search the truth in the word this truth would reveal God’s plan for the life of man
