Is God To Blame?
This is often the question that comes to mind when we confront real suffering in our own lives or in the lives of those we love. Pastor Gregory A. Boyd helps us deal with this question honestly and biblically, while avoiding glib answers.
Writing for ordinary Christians, Boyd wrestles with a variety of answers that have been offered by theologians and pastors in the past. He finds that a fully Christian approach must keep the person and work of Jesus Christ at the very center of what we say about human suffering and God's place in it. Yet this is often just what is missing and what makes so much talk about the subject seem inadequate and at times even misleading.
What comes through in Is God to Blame? is a hopeful picture of a sovereign God who is relentlessly opposed to evil, who knows our sufferings and who can be trusted to bring us through them to renewed life.
"In this stimulating work, Gregory Boyd shows how an incarmational theology focuses on God's action in Jesus Christ as the source for our knowledge of God. in Jesus we see what God does for us, how God loves us, how God feels for us and how God rescuues creatures and creation. This work restores an ancient view of Christianity that emphasizes the freedom we have to enter into a joyous relationship with God- a worlkview of hope for all of humanity."
''Robert Webber, Meyers Professor of Ministy, Northern Seminary, Lonbard, Illinois''
"In this new book from the pen of pastor-theologian Greg Boyd, we discover an answer to one of life's most difficult questions: If God is good, who do bad things happen? Boyd advances a radical notion: human history is a battle between God and Satan. We are part of this struggle, and what the future holds is (in part) up to us. Things are not all fixed from eternity. Agree or disagree, Boyd makes Christian faith exciting. I recommend this book to thoughtful Christians everywhere."
''Alan G. Padgett, Professor of Systematic Theology, Luther Seminary''
"Greg Boyd addresses what may be the single most asked question among skeptics and seekers. many without Christ are still waiting for us to respond with an intelligent answer. Greg provides an apologetic that actually makes sense about an iddue that really matters!"
''Erwin Raphael McManus, Lead Pastor, Mosaic, Los Angeles''

Prayer To Heal Attention Deficit Disorder
Dr. Jeffrey Barsch
Lord Jesus I thank you that your healing power purchased through the cross of Calvary is available for me today.
I declare that you created my brain for the purpose of bringing glory to your name. I do not want my brain to be conformed to the patterns of this world, instead I ask for your transforming power to enter all areas of my brain that you might give me the ability to process academic and spiritual wisdom from your Holy Spirit.
I declare that I believe that you created my inner most being and that my brain is fearfully and wonderfully made by your hand.
Lord I repent of all the times I have not regarded my brain and my learning abilities as a gift from you. I ask you to forgive me for the negative thoughts and words that I have spoken against my own brain and learning abilities.
I repent of trying to solve my learning problems through my own efforts rather than turning to receive your love, grace and healing touch first.
I choose to forgive parents, teachers and friends who have not believed in my mental abilities or who have made learning more difficult for me. In the name of Jesus I now free them from unreasonable expectations I may have placed upon them.
Lord, I ask you to remove all generational sin from my family line that may have played a part in my present learning struggles. As a member of my family line I repent for all those who although they knew you, did not use their brains to glorify you but rather engaged in futile and foolish spiritual thinking.
Lord, I repent for those in my family line who had used their brains to misuse the spiritual gifts that you had provided for them.
In the name of Jesus I command the neurons in my brain to function properly. I command in Jesus name that the damaged dendrites in my brain be healed. All axons and synapses will respond to the healing touch of Jesus Christ and function the way they were created to work.
I command in Jesus name that the right and left-brain function normally and in complete balance and that all the academic and creative abilities I have will flow like a river.
In Jesus name I command that the electrical and chemical frequencies in every cell of my brain come into the harmony and balance.
In Jesus name I command Werenicke’s Area (speech) and Broca’s Area (understanding of language) to function normally.
In the name of Jesus I declare that impulse control and lack of attention to task be healed.
In the name of Jesus I declare that I have a new academic and occupational future. I break, shatter, dissolve and destroy the lie that says my brain will always remain the same.
In the name of Jesus I declare that I will not have a Spirit of fear about learning new things. I accept your gift of the spirit of power, love and self-discipline into my brain.
Lord I now ask you to give me the Spirit of wisdom and revelation that I might succeed in school and to know you better.
Psalm 139: 13-16, Romans 1:21, 12:2, Ephesians 1:17, Colossians 1:9-13, 2 Timothy 1:7.
