A 40-Day Journey in Jesus' School of Prayer Written By A 40-day journey in Jesus’ School of Prayer “Our Father in Heaven, hallowed be Your name; Your Kingdom come; Your will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us today our daily bread; And forgive us our debts as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.” ~Jesus (Matthew 6:9-13) Written by: Doug Rowse The greatest need of the human spirit is to connect deeply with God. We all know that prayer is vital to this connection, yet for most of us prayer is a struggle. Prayer is simply talking with God. But God is invisible, so talking with Him is different than when we talk with anyone else. The Sermon on the Mountain (Matthew 5-7) is probably the most famous sermon that Jesus ever preached. It is without a doubt, the single most important piece of Scripture that we hold. Think of it like this: God in the flesh summarizes the entire Bible into what He considers to be the most important information. It is no surprise then, that prayer is one of the topics taught in the sermon. Jesus, the Second Person of the Trinity, teaches us how to talk with God. You hold this book because like me, you desire to connect more deeply with God in prayer. I have long struggled to pray. The biographies of great saints inspire me to wake up early or stay up late to seek God. Honestly, in my experience, I have tried those things but my mind wanders and I feel guilty because God seems far away. How can I connect with God if I cannot even learn to pray for five minutes?! If prayer is meant to be enjoyable, why does it often feel like an endurance test? This book may help you. Jesus taught us how to pray. Protestants call it “The Lord’s Prayer”. Catholics call it “The Our Father”. Let’s think of it instead as an invitation. Jesus is inviting us to join Him in speaking with our Father God. Let’s take the next forty days and attend Jesus’ school of prayer. Enjoy Jesus! Pastor Doug Day One: Our Father This then is how you should pray: “Our Father in Heaven, hallowed be Your name...” ~Matthew 6:9 At the risk of being simplistic, the entire Bible can be summed up in these two words, “Our Father”. If you grasp their meaning and bury it in the depths of your soul, it will change your life. Think of it: We, the prodigal children are invited back into the family by Jesus, the perfect Son. He invites us to go with Him into the presence of OUR Father. Jesus places Himself at our level, as one like us, and He says, “Let’s go talk to our Father”. Breathtaking! These two words encompass every important theological concept. They speak of redemption, because Jesus bought us back. They speak of reunion, because Jesus invited us back. They speak of grace, because Jesus paid our ticket back. They speak of restoration, because in Jesus we can have our Father back. They speak of forgiveness, because Jesus welcomed us back. These two words bring together the lost souls of mankind, covered by Christ’s blood and now given access to God. Jesus invites us to receive Him and go with Him into our Father’s presence. Do you see it? We cannot stand alone before God. Anyone who dares to go alone will surely be judged a sinner and condemned before Him. But with Jesus we can enter right in: “In Him and through faith in Him we may approach God with freedom and confidence.” (Ephesians 3:12) The Lord’s Prayer is not only an invitation to pray like Jesus, but to pray WITH Jesus. It is why this prayer journal has been called “Our Father”. We must understand that in the precise moment when we begin to pray, we join our older brother Jesus in talking with our Father. Prayer: What a privilege Jesus, to join You in talking with our Father. Thank You for inviting me to be part of Your conversation today. Help me to listen to Your heart and to join You in the things that concern You as we talk with Father together. As we start off on this journey, please teach me everything that You know about prayer. I’m eager to learn! Day Tw0: Ever Interceding “Who then is the one who condemns? No one! Christ Jesus who died-more than that, who was raised to life-is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us.” ~Romans 8:34 Jesus is always talking to His Father, and you are often the subject of their conversation. When you go to pray, you literally join into the conversation that is already flowing. Think of it, as soon as the words cross your lips or the thoughts cross your mind, you have entered into Heaven’s living room where Father and Son converse. What do you find them discussing? It’s safe to assume they are not discussing the score of last night’s game or how awesome the newest X-Box is. These words give us a clue: “…is also interceding for us.” As you enter Heaven’s living room you find Father and Son talking about you. Father God loves you as much as He loves Jesus. (John 17:23) So, becoming your friend was a dream come true for God. How can we be sure? Jesus died to make it happen. His life, death and resurrection became the fulfillment of the ages. You becoming His friend, made it all worthwhile. When you come to pray, you will find that the Trinity is discussing you and all those who are near to God’s heart. Begin prayer by listening closely to this conversation. God is concerned by what concerns you. First Peter 5:7 says, “Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you.” You see friend, your Father in Heaven already knows what you need before you ask Him. He is already working on it. So as you enter prayer, relax. Rest in knowing that God cares for you. Imagine yourself walking in on a conversation that is already happening. Father, Son and Holy Spirit are talking and you have entered the room. Prayer: Jesus, it is wonderful that You and Father are always talking. It is humbling to think that You would be discussing my needs. I feel so small when compared to all that You oversee. Thank You for caring so much about me. As I come to prayer today I can imagine You and Father talking. You laugh, You smile, You are fully engaged in the conversation without distraction. There is no judgment. There are no hidden agendas. All is in the open and the words flow freely. Wow! You are amazing! Day Three: Access Granted “For through Him, we both have access to the Father by one Spirit.” ~Ephesians 2:18 Imagine you are at a concert where your favorite band is playing. You are just one of the many faces in the crowd. There is nothing that causes you to stand out and you really do not expect to stand out either. After all, this band is really popular and they have throngs of fans. You leave the concert hall to grab a hot dog and on your way you pass by a discreet, non-descript door. Suddenly, the door opens and you see the face of one you instantly recognize. It’s the lead singer of the band! You are stunned by his presence and you are surprised to hear him call your name: “Hey friend, won’t you come backstage with us?!” You soon find yourself in a private room with just the band members. You’re eating shrimp cocktail and blue M&M’s (the band’s request). You pinch yourself, “Wow, how did I get this kind of access to the band?!” The scripture above says, “For through Him…” Jesus gave you access to the God of the Universe. You have been granted a backstage pass into the throne room of Heaven. This is not just a one-time pass. Nor is it like the three wishes you get with a genie. It is 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. God is forever accessible and available to you. Yesterday we learned that when you begin to pray, you enter into a conversation that is already happening. How will Father God receive you? Will the Trinity turn their backs and speak in whispered tones because you have entered the room? Absolutely not! You have been granted access into the conversation through Jesus Christ! When you enter, Father, Son and Holy Spirit speak your name and motion you to come closer. In fact, you don’t even need a ticket any more. God is yours. Prayer: You have said that You are mine. Jesus, I am Yours! Thank You for giving me access to God. I do not deserve to be here on my own. It is only through Your invitation that I am able to come. What an amazing blessing to be welcomed into Your conversation God. I dare not barge in, and I dare not try to change Your conversation. It is a privilege just to join in! Day Four: YOUR Father “But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen.

  • Savoy and Regent Label Discography
    Discography of the Savoy/Regent and Associated Labels Savoy was formed in Newark New Jersey in 1942 by Herman Lubinsky and Fred Mendelsohn. Lubinsky acquired Mendelsohn’s interest in June 1949. Mendelsohn continued as producer for years afterward. Savoy recorded jazz, R&B, blues, gospel and classical. The head of sales was Hy Siegel. Production was by Ralph Bass, Ozzie Cadena, Leroy Kirkland, Lee Magid, Fred Mendelsohn, Teddy Reig and Gus Statiras. The subsidiary Regent was extablished in 1948. Regent recorded the same types of music that Savoy did but later in its operation it became Savoy’s budget label. The Gospel label was formed in Newark NJ in 1958 and recorded and released gospel music. The Sharp label was formed in Newark NJ in 1959 and released R&B and gospel music. The Dee Gee label was started in Detroit Michigan in 1951 by Dizzy Gillespie and Divid Usher. Dee Gee recorded jazz, R&B, and popular music. The label was acquired by Savoy records in the late 1950’s and moved to Newark NJ. The Signal label was formed in 1956 by Jules Colomby, Harold Goldberg and Don Schlitten in New York City. The label recorded jazz and was acquired by Savoy in the late 1950’s. There were no releases on Signal after being bought by Savoy. The Savoy and associated label discography was compiled using our record collections, Schwann Catalogs from 1949 to 1982, a Phono-Log from 1963. Some album numbers and all unissued album information is from “The Savoy Label Discography” by Michel Ruppli.
