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.

"PRAY ACCORDING TO THE WORD OF GOD" BY DAVID MCMILLEN
PRAY ACCORDING TO THE WORD OF GOD
WHO DO YOU PRAY TO? SOME PEOPLE PRAY TO MARY, THE MOTHER OF JESUS. SOME PEOPLE ASK DIFFERENT SAINTS TO WATCH OVER THEM OR DO OTHER THINGS FOR THEM. I AM NOT PICKING ON ANY SPECIFIC RELIGION. I LOVE MARY BECAUSE SHE WAS THE MOTHER OF MY LORD. I HAVE HEARD OTHER CHRISTIANS AND NON-CHRISTIANS TALK ABOUT ASKING FOR SOMEONE LIKE THEIR MOTHER, THAT HAS GONE TO HEAVEN, TO WATCH OVER THEM.
IF YOU ARE DOING THIS IT COULD BE THAT YOU WERE TAUGHT THIS ALL YOUR LIFE AND YOU JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS. I CAN'T FIND ANYWHERE IN THE BIBLE THAT TELLS US TO DO THIS. I HAVE FOUND THAT WE SHOULD ONLY PRAY TO JESUS AND GOD, OUR HEAVENLY FATHER. SEE WHAT IT SAYS IN THE BOOK OF JOHN.
FIRST LET'S LOOK AT WHAT JESUS TELLS US TO DO IN JOHN 14:13-14 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it. IN THESE VERSES JESUS IS TELLING US TO ASK IN HIS NAME AND HE WILL DO IT.
NOW LET'S LOOK AT 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. IN THIS PASSAGE HE SAYS THAT THE FATHER WILL DO IT.
THESE TWO PASSAGES TELL ME THAT IF WE EITHER ASK JESUS, OR FATHER GOD, IT WILL BE DONE. HOWEVER, IN BOTH YOU HAVE TO ASK "IN THE NAME OF JESUS".
LIKE I HAVE SAID BEFORE, I HAVE MUCH TO LEARN ABOUT WHAT IS IN THE BIBLE AND IF ANYONE CAN SHOW ME WHERE WE ARE TO PRAY TO ANYONE ELSE EXCEPT JESUS AND GOD, PLEASE LET ME KNOW. I NEVER WANT TO TEACH ANYTHING THAT IS NOT BACKED UP BY GOD'S WORD.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
