The Order of Covenant Rites. Spiritual Power-Tool #8

Respect is what we owe...
Love is what we give.

...

Face Jerusalem in prayer (Dan.6:10).

The wall of the Jerusalem Temple Mount.

....

The intents of the heart will be judged...

"...Yahshua, having become High Priest forever
according to the Order of Melchizedek." - Hebrews 6:20

.. *Prayer Guide for* *the Covenant Rites of YHWH* Face Jerusalem when possible, and 'invoke' the Sacred Names. If one does not yet know the Messiah, then just pray in the FATHER'S Name. ..
WHO HAS AUTHORITY?
	Humanity is directly blessed by our CREATOR through the Rainbow / Noadic Covenant, and it is the responsibility of all humanity to spread these blessing as we walk through life. No mere mortal can stand in the way of your direct connection, and there are no special group-rates to Heaven. Anyone who believes in GOD the FATHER, our CREATOR, and has faith in HIS plan for a-l-l humanity. If you believe then you must accept and proclaim "...doctrine of baptisms, of laying on of hands, of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment. And this we will do if God permits." - Heb. 6:1-3 All glory goes to our CREATOR, (Luk.2:14; Jon.14:12-15). In home Worship, authority would begin with the head of the house. If one is alone or isolated, then you are responsible for yourself, and you can perform these Rites for yourself and your loved ones. One does not need any special building, the body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, (1Cor.6:19). In the Bible, even a child can pray and bless, but the age of maturity or accountability, is when a person is 20 years old and above, (Exo.30:14, Num.14:29).
WHAT IS NEEDED
	The basic articles of faith are: a clean body, clean clothes, a clean room, a prayer shawl for women, a Bible, and two candles (representing the CREATOR and the Messiah, the flame on top represents the Holy Spirit). If needed, anointing oil, sea salt, water and/or bread and wine.

A LITTLE PLANNING
	This document is only a simple framework. Performing these Rites can be from the simple bestowing of a blessing of health when someone sneezes, to a daily blessing of protection for your children, to prayer and anointing for serious healings. From a simple Baptism, to the more stimulating exorcisms. From a quiet personal observance, to a larger group ceremony, and/or planned to be performed on a Holy Day finishing with a Sacred Meal. (For example, planning for a baptism on the Day of Pentecost.) In my opinion, the human condition is too varied to make up a rule book on all of this. Read your Bible, and let the Spirit guide you to the procedure best suited to the situation. REMEMBER: Resist the prideful urge of making a spiritual ceremony of long speeches, or repetitive phrases - it does not impress the Higher Powers (Mat.6:7). (Click for more info: Holy Day Observance )
WHY THIS IS IMPORTANT.
	"For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places." - Ephesians 6:12 . These are spiritual power-tools. “...we do not war according to the flesh, and the weapons are not carnal...” - 2Corrinthians 10:3-4. . To "invoke" means, to boldly engage, put into action, that power of life which flows from our CREATOR. . And, sometime in the future: "...Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea! For the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has a short time." - Revelation 12:12. (Now you are you going to call?)
WARNING!
	The Heavenly Powers are not to be trifled with. A righteous person is never alone - the Angels are watching. Use the right spiritual power-tool for the right job, and use it wisely. (For example, anointing oil is not a daily perfume, it is like sending junk mail in a special delivery envelop, and that annoys them, Mat.6:7-8.) REMEMBER: "Holy living* is essential preparation for prayer."* - E.M. Bounds

*Simple Prayers* Prayers are universal Rite
SIMPLE THANK-YOU

A kiss or a hug of love, and it means your heart is clean with that person (which means you have not gossiped . . ., or maligned . . ., them in anyway). It is done Italian/French style, lay one or two hands on the shoulders then pulling together to kiss first on the right cheek, then the left - second kiss is optional). [OPTIONAL] As part of our Salt Covenant Rite with YHWH, all participants may want to share a dish of Sea Salt. It is a symbol of friendship. It means all in attendance are right with each other and our CREATOR (Lev.2:13; 2Chr.13:5). (Any disputes must be settled first.) Pass the dish around, lick your finger, dip it in the salt, or put a pinch of salt in the palm of your hand, then eat the salt together, and bless YHWH. [continue to next applicable Rite]
