Do you know who Jesus was speaking to Slope?

He was speaking to His followers friend. May I suggest the following link to a study and discussion on effective prayer? "Is GOD really listening to me?", Effective Prayer

1 John 5

13 I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life.

14 This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us.

15 And if we know that he hears us

Did I take something out of context?

Did you? :thumbsup:

Hello all, I've been off line a while during my move but I'm back with more questions...

When asked why God allows seemingly senseless and or horrific things to happen I always hear this "God gave man free will" and "God doesn't interfere in the dealings of men". So the question I have is,

Why do you pray for God to do things for you or others? If you already believe God gave you and everyone else free will and that he doesn't stop the train from slamming into the bus load of 3 year-olds then why do you pray to him for various and sundry things, including praying that I will be saved?

-SS

Whew! I just read everything and that's rare. I usually skip over the middle, But I had to see if you were even in the conversation. I've seen Posts where the original writer quit writing at page 2 1/2 and the thing is 11 pages long!!! :emot-hug: HAHA!

Alright, no one else has even offered this (I don't think) but I personally do not believe in the Freedom of the Will especially as you described it and mainly for the reasons you described! You bring up a lot of good, rather great questions about prayer throughout these numerous pages and did quite well defending your position.

However, I will deal with your original question, and the foundations that I do not hold to, that I feel are faulty, and i will try to explain any questions you may have. However, I will start with the following and then you may guide this discussion as you please, i have no intentions of reading other people's posts, or arguments, unless you quote them to me.

I do not believe in the Freedom of the Will of man, and I certainly do not believe that God does not interfere with that supposed freedom. My answer to pain and suffering is Sin, not will, but sin allowed by God that to this point has developed into the wrath of God Revealed (cf. Rom 1). Which reveals itself in the form of sickness, pain, and suffering, which God in turn uses to test and try and draw his people to himself for His own Glory.

I pray for God to do things for myself and others 1. because I can not do them 2. God wants to know our desires, hurts, and pains, directly from us on a personal level, and so to communicate those, I use prayer. 3. God's abiding, good, and perfect will, shall be done no matter what, he will answer prayers according to HIS purposes, and I would have it no other way.

I wil start there, and if you do not respond to me, I will write no more, if you do, I will try my best to answer both accuratly and biblical, to the best of my ability.

May God find you, in your search for Him

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
