Summary
Over the years I have written a significant amount regarding Prayer and published significant lists of prayers as evidenced on the “Prayer” webpage. It therefore seemed appropriate to consolidate all of these writings into one coherent document aligned with my present understanding. Hence this document.

Preamble
Good day!
The Almighty Creator Desires a Deep Personal Relationship with You! If you die as an Unbeliever, your spirit will live for a very long time as a disembodied Ancestor Spirit or Demon. The Creator has said regarding Unbelievers, "Why would I want someone to spend Eternity with me when they do NOT Believe I exist?"
If you die as a Believer without any form of relationship with the Creator, you will end up in the Outer Darkness – a cold, black, terrible place with weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth (your teeth) – the Trash Heap of Heaven. Father has said concerning such Believers, "Why would I want someone to be close to me in Heaven, which inherently means I will give them great prestige and authority, if they do NOT have a deep personal relationship with me and have NOT proven to me that they can be trusted in this life?"
In stark contrast, if you make a real effort to seek relationship with the Almighty, the rewards in the life to come are huge – a glorious resurrected body, great prestige, great authority, and a permanent close relationship with the Creator and with Yahooshua who you may mistakenly know as Jesus.
To put this all in context, The Almighty has said "I created Human beings, this planet and this universe for men and women to be my Friends, my companions, to explore and learn and develop together. My greatest grief is that almost NO person understands this let alone seeks such a relationship with me!"
Today we're going to continue with the Essence of My Message regarding Prayer, Part 2.

Introduction
Who am I? – James Robertson. I have a Doctorate in Engineering and I am an IT project manager. I have over 29 years' experience of actively seeking to draw close to the Almighty following a dramatic encounter with Him on 12th March 1993 when He spoke to me audibly in a locked room and I knew for certain that He was real.
I was confirmed in the Anglican Church at the age of 13 and served as an Altar Boy for a number of years from the age of 19. Eventually, married to an Unbeliever, I became disenchanted with the hypocrisy in the Church and backslid to a point where I was not even sure the Almighty existed. In this backslidden state I embarked on an adulterous affair which, when it ended, left me desperate and suicidal. It was then that the Almighty spoke to me and I realized that my intellect had gotten me into a right mess and I chose to serve Him faithfully for the rest of my life.
In doing this I applied my deep-seated aversion to failure borne out of an accident in early childhood coupled to my Engineering and Military training of rigour and preventing failure, to my seeking of knowledge about Father. This journey led to numerous supernatural experiences, prayers answered and clear communication with the Creator that forms the basis for what I teach in these programs.
What is "End Time Issue Ministries?" It's the organizational vehicle for delivering my message through Email Articles, Websites, this Radio Program, physical books, LinkedIn, Facebook, YouTube, SlideShare, and Twitter.
What is THIS Program? – "The Creator Desires a DEEP Personal Relationship with YOU!" – It represents the fundamental essence of my message.

Body of the Article
2021.09.04 The Essence of my message regarding Prayer
We're going to continue with the article in 2021.
Recap
2. MOST Important Prayers
a. Judgment
In my opinion, IF you are to faithfully serve Father to the end the following are the MOST IMPORTANT prayers and should be prayed regularly. The single most important prayer that one could pray and the one prayer I would chose if I was limited to praying only one prayer for the rest of my life was "Father judge me severely and correct me harshly that I may serve you more perfectly."
I firmly believe that if you are sensitive to the resulting leading and have Emunah {Faith} that Yah will NOT test you beyond what you can endure, you will learn much from this prayer and will stay on track with Father no matter what happens. Any time something goes “wrong,” get on your knees before Father and ask Him what you did wrong. Judgement can be an accident, illness, lost business, anything that causes you loss or suffering that may point to judgment.
This relates specifically to your relationship with Father and your walk relative to the Day of Judgment.
It does NOT address mistakes and sub-optimal life style, THAT is a completely separate issue.
Folks, this is so important. There is a piece about getting close to Father, getting aligned with Father and doing His will and there is a piece about how you lived your life, there is a piece about ruling on Earth with His spirit. I expect you to exercise discretion to make decision. I expect you to live with the consequences. So everything I am talking about today on prayer, you must always expect to exercise with discretion.
b. Deception
Thereafter I would pray "Show me the level of my present deception and how to correct it.” Be prepared for much and possibly most of what you believe to be turned on its head.
If you are REALLY serious about seeking truth “lead me into ALL truth.” Go on seven three day fasts at intervals of seven days and constantly petition Yah to lead you into truth and correct your error. You are likely to experience dramatic changes – see https://www.ETIMin.org/seek-truth/seek-truth-not-error.
Again this relates to sin and judgment NOT to bad decisions and mistakes.
It's possible to be really close to Father and aligned with Him and talk to Him and learn a lot about Him and His ways. It's really important to draw that distinction.
c. Qualify to become a Friend of Yah
The highest rank in Heaven is as a Friend of Yah there have only been a limited number of such people in history but this is available to EVERY Believer, this is what we were created for!
Pray “Father I ask you to help me to become your Friend!”
Folks, a friend is somebody who is aligned with Father's will, is praying Father's will. It may sound really challenging but it is absolutely there for every human being on the planet to become a friend. That is what we're created for – to become His friend, to share with Him, to talk to Him, to discuss with Him, to help Him, to make things that He enjoys making whether it's cooking a meal or building a house or building a building or whatever. Whatever your field is, He wants to help you to become the best in that field. You don’t have to be a friend for that to happen, but it is absolutely there for you to seek to become a friend if you're willing to pay the price and prayer and cleaning up your life. If you don’t want to go all the way, then seek to become someone who is close to Father. The rewards for eternity are huge folks.
d. Drawing Close to Father
“Help me to know You more nearly and see you more clearly day by day;
help me to bring You Joy every day;
let me know Your Peace that passes all understanding;
let Your Joy be my strength;
let Your Love be shed abroad in my heart;
let me know your heart”.
This one about knowing Yah’s Heart is a big one -- be prepared to feel Yah’s anger, His Grief, His Joy, His Sadness, etc. – I have seen Him weep with Joy and with Hurt, this is NOT a prayer to pray lightly.
Once you have prayed this expect there to be major constraints on the type of movies and TV programs and live theatre programs you can watch, what you can read, people you can associate with, etc., etc.
As you draw closer to Yah pray for Him to touch you and fill you with His Spirit more and more -- “Father, I ask you to pour out Your Spirit upon me and fill me with Your Spirit.”
“I ask you to anoint me for the work you have called me to do.”
Folks, praying these prayers once is not sufficient. You should be praying them on a regular basis. I will share with you in a few minutes that I pray regularly. I encourage you to pray them that I have given you on a regular basis and if you pray them constantly and regularly you will find that your life change. If you're a relatively young believer and you're moving strongly with Him, I urge you pray once and dramatic things will happen.
3. Daily Prayers
a. What I pray
Following are the prayers I routinely pray. I commend them for your consideration:
“Father we come to you and thank you for this day, we thank you for your Chesed and your Chen, your love, your loving kindness, your Mercy, your Grace and your Favour.
“We ask for Wisdom and Understanding in all that we do.
“Help us to draw closer to you.
“Help us to know your will and to do it.
“Help us to hear your voice and be obedient.
“Teach me to quieten my spirit so I can hear your still, small voice.
“Help us to qualify to sit on high thrones with Yahooshua for eternity.
“We thank you that you supply all our need according to your riches in Glory by the Anointing that was upon Yahooshua."
I used the word chesed for love and loving kindness, chen for mercy, grace for favour. The common English words love and mercy do not have the same rich connotation with the Hebrew words chased and chen. Furthermore both love and mercy also have some level of pagan connotations. Particularly when I am praying or worshiping, I try to substitute chased and chen for love and loving kindness, for mercy, grace.
“We thank you that you are able to do exceedingly abundantly beyond all that we can ask or imagine.
“We thank you that you are our Healer, our Provider, our Saviour, our Deliverer, our Counsellor, our Comforter and our Friend.
“We thank you that your Messengers {Angels} Encamp around us to protect us.
“That no weapon formed against us shall prosper.
“That every tongue that rises against us in unrighteous judgement shall be refuted.
“We ask you to lead us into ALL truth by your Spirit;
“Show us the level of our present deception;
“I ask you to judge me severely and correct me harshly that I may serve you more perfectly.
I had a situation many years ago when my car in a mountainous terrain missed a man and there was mud all over the road and I lost control of the car and it skid sideways and I cried out to Father as the car left the road. Instead of tumbling sideways, rolling sideways down the embankment into the forest, the messengers just gently took the corners of the car and held it and just lowered it gently on to the ground. It was so gently that my diary and my pen that were open on the passenger seat remained as it is and I got out of the car completely uninjured and unshaken, took my briefcase and climbed up to the road and got a lift to the nearest police station and they took me through to the airport. So these things work folks. You need to pray folks. Being a believer and if things going wrong in your life and you're not praying, you should probably pray.
“We ask you to Bless us indeed.
“Enlarge our territory in Relationship with You, in Knowledge of You and Your Ways and Your Will and Your Kingdom;
“In the Anointing of Your Spirit;
“In Humility;
“In Emunah {Faith};
“In Harmony;
“In Health;
“And in Finance.
“Help us to wear your full Armour:
“The Belt of Truth;
“The sure footed shoes of the Good News of Peace;
“The Helmet of Salvation;
“The Breastplate of Righteousness;
“The Shield of Emunah {Faith};
“The Mantle of Humility;
“Help us to wield your Commandments as a sharp two edged sword dividing between Truth and Error.
“Help us to pray in the Spirit at all times without ceasing.
Notice that each element of the armour is an attitude and way of being, seek truth at all times, etcetera. Pray also: teach me to walk in the Armour and use it effectively.
Folks, these are very important prayers.
Note that “pray in the Spirit at ALL times without ceasing” is NOT a figure of speech, it is a REAL possibility, ask Father to teach you: “please teach my spirit to pray at all times without ceasing."
Regarding the Sword of the Spirit which is the Commandments (the Words) of Yah (NOT the bible): “Father help me to keep your Commandments:
1. Yah the eternally self-existing is ONE mighty one you shall have NO OTHER mighty one’s before Him (includes do NOT worship Yahooshua).
2. Make no graven images (includes the Bible and the Cross).
3. Do not take the Name of Yah the eternally-self existing in vain (includes NOT saying ‘ja’ for ‘yes’ and NOT having a Yahoo.com email address).
4. Remember the Sabbath Day and keep it set-apart {holy} (in addition to the Saturday Sabbath includes the other days set-apart by Yah – Pesach {Passover}, Shavuot {Pentecost}, Yom Teruah {Day of Trumpets}, Yom Kippur {Day of Atonement}, Sukkot {Feast of Tabernacles} first and last days.
There is a thing about the word of God. Hebrews, the Jews refer to the Ten Commandments as the ten words of Yah. That’s what the word of God is, it's the Ten Commandments, it's not the whole Bible.
5. Honour your father and your mother (includes no old age homes – they grow old in the bosom of their family).
6. Do NOT commit murder (includes cursing, abortion and abolition of the death penalty).
7. Do NOT commit adultery.
8. Do NOT steal (includes taking tithes while teaching lies).
9. Do NOT bear false witness (includes teaching lies as Yah’s doctrine).
10. Do NOT covet or lust.
So the murder thing is so important folks. Even aborting a fertilized ovum before it implants in the uterus is murder. There is a living human being that if it is aborted at that stage, if it is a child of a believer will go to Heaven and the person who did it will be convicted of murder and if they are a believer they will spend time in Hell and tormented for murder.
b. Prayer for your Business if you have one
“Father, we thank you for … (name of business);
“We ask you to bless and prosper the business;
“We ask you for Wisdom to get wealth;
“We ask you to help us to market and sell effectively that we may come to a place of abundant income where we can live comfortably with funds available for Ministry… etc., as appropriate.
So folks, if you're a believer, you've a ministry. Whether you know it or not, whether you recognize or whether you're doing anything about it or not, Father expects you as a believer to serve Him. There is no such thing as the congregation. Father wants you to minister. Find out what it is. Get on your knees and find out what Father wants you to do. He wants you to do something and whatever it is, you need to do it. I don’t know what your ministry is, all I can tell you is that if you're a believer, you've a ministry and you need to find out what it is.
c. Prayer for your Employer if you have one
“Father, we thank you for … (name of business);
“I ask you to bless and prosper the business;
“I ask you for Wisdom for the Owner/s and Managers to get wealth;
“I ask you to help me to be an effective employee and help the business to prosper so that we, too, may prosper … etc. as appropriate.
Folks, none of these prayers are intended to be prescriptive. They are well worded and powerful but that doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t pray something completely different. Pray what's on your heart. Pray what comes to mind. The thing about prayer is that it is a petition to Father in the Court of Heaven. So anything that you want to ask Him, say "Father, I am concerned about this or that and I want you to help me. I ask you to guide me." Then you must be willing to get on your knees and listen to the answer. I keep saying get on your knees. You don’t have to get on your knees at all, but in my experience you hear Father a lot clearer when you're humble and get on your knees. Again, it might be different for you, whatever works for you, but the key thing is don’t just keep asking and nagging and begging. Pray to Father and listen for His answer.
I made a point of listening closely. So often He comes up with things that I just wouldn’t have thought of, different ways of handling situations, etc. So I really encourage you just to get close to Father and do it.
d. Prayer for your marital / covenant relationship IF you have one
“Father we thank you for our relationship.
“We ask you to bless and prosper our relationship.
“We ask you to help us work together effectively in Your service that we may quality to sit together on High Thrones with You for Eternity (or whatever your aspiration is).
e. Prayer for your Ministry IF you have one – you SHOULD have one
“Father, we thank you for … (name of ministry);
“We ask you to bless and prosper the ministry;
“We ask you to guide us in the service of your people that we can make a dramatic difference on the Earth … etc. as appropriate.
f. Specific Prayers for the Kingdom of Yah
“Father we ask that you will help your servants to pave the way for Yahooshua to return in victory at the end of the Millennium with his enemies and his footstool and so that you can have many Friends and many more committed Believers.
“We ask you to raise up Powerful Servants who will initiate Revivals all around the Earth that will last for the Millennium and radically change things on the Earth.
“Help us to make a dramatic difference on the Earth. – etc. as appropriate.
Folks it's so easy to complain about the state of Earth and the state of politics and this politician and this president and this war. It's not going to fix anything. What's going to fix is for you if you're serious enough about making a difference. You get on your knees daily, several times a day, fast, pray, really focus on getting close to Father and getting to a point where you're filled with His spirit, you know His will, you're doing His will, you're able to heal people, you're able to raise the dead, you're able to speak on His behalf clearly and with conviction that He is speaking to you and you need to go out there and touch the world. If you get to what I have just described and you go out there, you will find people will come to you, people will pay attention to what you've to say. That’s about make a difference. Anything else is a waste of time. You need to turn to Father, you need to be close to Him.
g. Specific Prayers for those in Partnership with you in the Ministry or the Business or both
“Father, we pray for those who are in Partnership with us in the Ministry or the Business (as appropriate).
“We ask you to bless and prosper them.
“Protect them and help them to draw closer to you.
“Help them to help us achieve our goals and make a real difference on the Earth.
Again, folks, these are just suggestions. If you pray everything that I am giving you today, you will almost get great benefit and that said, it is entirely up to you, pray whatever else is appropriate in your life. See all these examples that I am giving you as point of departure. They are not the ultimate prayers to be prayed. There are other prayers that may be appropriate to you. Just feel free to pray whatever seems appropriate and just check it out. It's so important to hear Father, it's so important to go to Him. There are articles on the website about hearing from Father. The key thing to know is He wants to talk to you. He created you in order to talk to you. It's nonsense that He stops speaking. He wants to talk to you, He wants to engage in conversation with you. He wants you to ask Him questions that He can answer.
h. Prayer for a Ministry you are associated with
“Father, we bring … (name of Ministry) before you and ask you to bless and prosper them.
“In particular we ask you to help them to reach as many people as possible and make this turning around sustainable.
“We ask you to bless and prosper those who have been touched by the Ministry, protect them, help them to draw closer to you, help them to know your will and to do it, help them to hear your voice and be obedient.
“Raise up mighty warriors in Your Service who will initiate Revivals around the World.
Folks, it's not ugly to pray for somebody who is in error to be judged. "Father I am not sure what's really going on with that. I ask you to judge. I ask you to exercise your discretion."
i. Prayers over food that has been provided by Father – if you are comfortably off financially and provision of food is routine there is no need to pray
“Father I thank you for this food and ask you to sanctify it to my body and bless the hands that prepared it in the name of Yahooshua.
There is a big piece about being grateful to Father for all the good that He has done in your life and thanking His spirit and really just waking up to what He was doing for you.
j. Various other prayers
“Father Yah, I come to you in the name of Yahooshua, I confess that I have sinned by … (list any sin that comes to mind), I ask you to forgive me in the name of Yahooshua – where possible take the Bread and Wine of the Covenant {Communion} and pray this.
“I ask you to teach me your ways;
“I ask you to lead me that I may live a life pleasing to you;
“I ask that you may help me that I may overcome to the end;
“I ask you to speak to me through people, books, magazines, newspapers, TV, radio, email, websites on in any other way that I am able to hear you in order to come to a deep personal relationship with you.
The thing to realise, Father is constrained. He will do those things in the context of your relationship with Him. He is not going to do those things in the context of your job, your ministry. You got to go to Him specifically and ask Him and if you don’t ask Him, you got to figure it out yourself, you got to take the consequences of not asking. It's so important folks. Get on your knees and say "Father I have got an important decision to make, what should I do?"
“Speak to me through your Emissaries {Apostles} and Spokesmen and Spokeswomen {Prophets and Prophetesses} and send them across my path -- be prepared for unusual and sometimes difficult people who may easily offend you.
“I ask you to teach me to worship you deeply and draw close to you and be filled with and LED by your Spirit – remember that you must always exercise your discretion and your will.
“I ask you to fill me to overflowing with your Spirit and to help me to deal with all issues in my life that are standing between me and the full measure of anointing that you desire me to have.
“Father, I ask you to give me utterance in prayer to pray whatever it is you want into my life.
These are prayers that are particularly powerful when you're relatively inexperienced young believer or somebody who has been a nominal believer for years and suddenly got a revelation of the reality of Father.
k. The Pattern Prayer
A useful prayer for new believers and weak believers as it covers so many issues, is the example prayer attributed to Yahooshua:
“Our Father who art in Heaven,
“hallowed be Thy Name,
“Thy Kingdom come,
“Thy Will be done,
“on Earth as it is in Heaven.
“Give us this day our daily bread
“and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive them that trespass against us.
“For Thine is the Kingdom,
“the Power
“and the Glory
“for ever and ever
“Amen.
Father says that mature believers should NOT pray this regularly as it is over used and most people do not really apply their minds to it because they have learned it by rote.
In Closing “Thank you for Your Chesed and Your Chen (love, loving kindness, Mercy, Grace, Favour).
Amen (so-be-it, let it be done).
We will continue this next week. There are a lot of prayers that I want to share with you.
Do not come to a place where you're reciting a prayer and they don’t mean anything to you. Apply your intellect and engage and pray with feeling. Pray with engagement. Pray with meaning, knowing that what you're praying mean something to you and that you desire and that you believe that you will receive it.
What is the state of YOUR relationship with the Almighty Creator?
I would like to ask you to critically examine where YOU are relative to the Almighty Creator.
Do you talk to Him constantly throughout the day and allow Him to lead you in every possible way?
Are you conscious of Him at all times?
Do you worship Him at every opportunity?
Do you count Him your FRIEND?
Have you clearly and unambiguously heard HIM CALL YOU FRIEND?
If not, you are FAILING in your life purpose and you will be bitterly disappointed when you die.
Folks, this is so important. Right way back in the beginning, Father decided to create humans to be His friends, beings that He could talk to, laugh with. Everything that happens from then on creation of the universe, our sun, our planet, the animals, the plants, you and me is for one purpose only – to be His friend. If you're not His friend, you're missing the point. You're missing the reason for your existence. It doesn’t matter your race, your age, your level of education, your level of finances, He wants you to become His friend. He will meet you wherever you are if you just go and meet Him. Get on your knees and say "Father I want to become your friend. Help me to get there."

Work with me to make a way for Yahooshua to return in victory at the end of the millennium and make his enemies his footstool.
As I said a few minutes ago, He is not concerned about your race, your tribe, your nationality, your age, your wealth or lack of wealth, your education or lack of education, whether you're tall or short, whether you're pretty or ugly depending on His definition, He is not concerned. He wants you to become His friend. And I really encourage you after listening to this, just get on your knees and say, "Father, James Robertson says I can become your friend. I don’t understand. I don’t know how to get there. I ask you to help me." Do that, email me James@EndTimeIssueMinistries.org. Drop me a line and we can connect by email, telephone whatever, and I will help you.
