About
I AM AN 80 YEAR OLD MALE, BORN AGAIN, CHRISTIAN WITH A LOVE FOR JESUS. I DO NOT GET OUT MUCH ANYMORE BUT FIND THAT TELLING PEOPLE ABOUT THE LOVE JESUS HAS FOR THEM IS NOT ONLY WHAT WE ARE SUPPOSED TO DO BUT SOMETHING THAT THE WORLD NEEDS.

THE POWER OF PRAYING THE RIGHT WAY
THE POWER OF PRAYING THE RIGHT WAY
I TOOK A LOT OF GRIEF OVER THIS TOPIC WHEN I FIRST WROTE ABOUT IT BUT WAS AGAIN ASKED ABOUT IT AND HAD QUITE A DISCUSSION OVER IT. I TOLD MY FRIEND I WOULD WRITE ABOUT IT AGAIN WITH ALL THE SCRIPTURES AND HE COULD DECIDED FOR HIMSELF. DON'T GET ME WRONG, I HAVE A LOT OF CATHOLIC FRIENDS AND LOVE EVERY ONE OF THEM. I ALSO LOVE MARY BECAUSE SHE WAS THE MOTHER OF MY LORD AND SAVIOR BUT I CAN'T COMPROMISE THE WORD OF GOD. HIS WORD IS FINAL. SO HERE GOES.
DO YOU KNOW WHO TO PRAY TO AND HOW TO PRAY? THINK THAT IS A SILLY QUESTION? SOME PEOPLE DON'T REALLY KNOW. A CATHOLIC FRIEND OF MINE SAID SHE PRAYED TO MARY, THE MOTHER OF JESUS. I ASK HER WHY AND SHE SAID THAT IT WAS WHAT IT SAID IN THE BIBLE. I ASK HER TO FIND IT FOR ME AND SHE WAS SHOCKED WHEN SHE COULDN'T. SHE SAID SHE HAD BEEN DOING THAT ALL HER LIFE. THAT IS WHAT SHE WAS TAUGHT. SHE ALSO SAID SHE WENT TO THE PRIEST TO CONFESS HER SINS. WHEN I SHOWED HER WHY WE CAN NOW GO DIRECTLY TO GOD SHE WAS AGAIN SHOCKED.
THIS IS WHAT I TOLD HER FROM GOD'S WORD. WHEN JESUS DIED ON THE CROSS IT SAYS THE VEIL OF THE TEMPLE WAS RIPPED FROM THE TOP TO THE BOTTOM (MATTHEW 27:51 And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent.) AND, SINCE IT WAS BETWEEN SIXTY AND NINETY FEET TALL, IT HAD TO BE GOD THAT DID IT. THE VEIL SEPARATED THE HOLY OF HOLIES, WHERE GOD DWELT, FROM THE REST OF THE TEMPLE WHERE THE PEOPLE DWELT. ONLY THE HIGH PRIEST COULD GO BEYOND THE VEIL ONCE A YEAR. WHEN JESUS DIED AND THE VEIL WAS TORN IN TWO, THIS REVEALED THAT HIS SACRIFICE MEANT THERE WAS NO LONGER ANY SEPARATION BETWEEN GOD AND MAN. WE NOW CAN GO DIRECTLY TO GOD BECAUSE OUR SINS HAVE BEEN FORGIVEN.
.
AS FAR AS I CAN TELL FROM THE BIBLE, ONLY GOD AND JESUS ARE TO BE PRAYED TO. JESUS SAYS IN JOHN 14:13 " And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son." HE ALSO SAYS IN JOHN 16:23 "And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you."
NOW AS TO HOW TO PRAY, JESUS TELLS IN MARK 11:24 "Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them." NOW WITH KNOWING WHO TO PRAY TO AND HOW TO PRAY, MAYBE YOUR PRAYERS WILL BE MORE EFFECTIVE. AFTER ASKING, START THANKING HIM FOR WHATEVER YOU HAVE PRAYED FOR AND HE SAYS "YE SHALL HAVE THEM".
GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
