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.

"PRAYER" BY DAVID MCMILLEN
I WROTE ABOUT THIS ONCE BEFORE AND A LOT OF PEOPLE WERE UPSET AT ME BUT I AM SAYING ONLY WHAT IS IN GOD'S WORD. THEY ARE NOT MY WORDS. SO, LET'S DO THIS AGAIN BECAUSE SOME PEOPLE DISAGREED WITH WHAT I WROTE. IF I AM WRONG, PLEASE PROVE IT TO ME. I AM TEACHABLE AND NEVER WANT TO GO AGAINST GOD'S WORD.
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 IS THE MOTHER OF JESUS, MY SAVIOR. I HAVE HEARD OTHER CHRISTIANS, AND NON-CHRISTIANS, TALK ABOUT ASKING FOR SOMEONE LIKE THEIR OWN MOTHER OR DADDY, THAT IS IN 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. SEE WHAT IT SAYS IN THE BOOK OF JOHN.
FIRST LET'S LOOK AT WHAT JESUS SAYS 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 THIS PASSAGE JESUS IS TELLING US TO PRAY TO HIM AND ASK IN HIS NAME AND HE WILL DO IT.
NOW LET'S LOOK AT WHAT JESUS 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." IN THIS PASSAGE JESUS SAYS TO PRAY TO THE FATHER AND HE WILL DO IT. JESUS ALSO SAYS TO PRAY IN HIS NAME.
THESE TWO PASSAGES TELL ME TO PRAY TO JESUS, OR THE FATHER (GOD), AND IT WILL BE DONE. HOWEVER, REMEMBER WHAT IT SAYS IN COLOSSIANS 3:17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him. I ALWAYS END ALL MY PRAYERS, EITHER ASKING OR JUST THANKING HIM, "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 WRITE ANYTHING THAT IS NOT BACKED UP BY GOD'S WORD.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
