Man The Things people say!
I was going to a church and part of the choir; I came in late to practice due to work with a migraine headache. I asked the leader for prayer, he said you were not here for what I just told the other. He said according to him that the lord said we were to ask each other for prayer as we may not always be together. Another pastor’s wife told me i was not to be fleecing – looking for signs when we prayed. As I told her i I had used the way Gideon taught us to pray and it got the results.
First of all not praying is a trick of the devil as, the bible clearly states we are to pray one for another and where two or three are gathered together, we are to intercede for each other.. This just caused confusion and made a little angry. God is not the author of Confusion.
Also we are a body- and doesn’t the body know when something is wrong with one of its parts like in the natural? We do not have to be in the physical presence of other believes – he knows no distance. I was going through a real rough time and was new to an area and 80 miles from home- turned on the internet and i was getting invites from prayer groups I did not know existed or a Christian would call.
Not pray baloney!
Prayer is the key
Remember these three things – when you hear a “word” I does it speak of god, does it go along with the scriptures and confirm in your hear- does it bring peace or anger and confusion.
Do not choke your lifeline to Christ and the Holy Spirit
