Heading For Healing 40.5: Prayer--Praise, Worship, Thanksgiving, and Death

Notable in my own experience with healing and in the testimony of others, in prayer, other than believing you receive what you pray for, YOU DON'T DO ANYTHING EXCEPT SURRENDER, I.E., "DIE." The Passover, wherein all the children of Israel were healed, was a sacrifice. The substitute sacrificed died for the people, so they were accounted as DEAD. Prayer, Neville Goddard said, is praise. It is thanksgiving, and the accounting of your rightful death as upon your substitute. Your substitute DIED for you to be passed over. Surrender and submission, your death, MAKES YOU LIKE HIM, CHRIST, GOD. It is part of our presentation OF God. I think it is built into God's act of assumption. God doesn't force His assumption's becoming, He DIES to it. He as-if-dead allows His power, His Kingdom, to manifest. It is in "death," this allowance, that it becomes. Which is why all of us are here in death: "He appointed human beings to die one season" (Hebrews 9:27 Alexander). There, where we were, is Life. Here, where we are, is death. The Temples were images of Man, and they were butcher shops--sacrificing substitutes all day long for surrendered, humbled Man to continue before God.

So prayer is praise, worship, thanksgiving, and the surrender of one's self into the substitutionary death suffered by his or her sacrifice. "How fully can you surrender and not be afraid?" --Dr. Frank C. Laubach.
