WHAT'S UP WITH THIS?

Carly, I'd trash it. I wouldn't even give it the honor of blowing my nose on it. It's an insult to God.

It's just a marketing ploy.....and worthless superstition. Cats

Silly superstition.

"But foolish things avoid..."

Exodus:for I am the LORD , who heals you."

Throw them away and expect all healing only from God

Believe me He's able to do it without those pieces of cloth:)

It's probably recycled, most of them want you to send it back to them...why you might ask, because that green hankie material gets pricey after awhile.

Shame on all of you.

Leonard,

I'll help you out.

I agree that money hungry televangelist give us a bad name and they will have to answer to God for themselves.

I also have really been quickened by the Holy Spirit to bear with one another in love. There are many well-meaning christians out there that have been taught wrong and are acting in ignorance and I know God honors their faith. If it's not faith, it's sin and He knows the difference.

I would take the hankerchief and keep it as a reminder to pray for these people. That God would search their hearts and convict them if they are doing anything in the flesh and that He would be glorified. Who knows what could happen with a little prayer?

We gotta love em all.

I apologize in advance if this offends anyone, but I am compelled at this point to speak the truth in love bluntly.

Anything that replaces Christ as the preeminent one in our lives is an idol. Likewise, anything that draws our focus away from Christ in prayer, in the word, etc. is an idol.

Using a "prayer shawl," or a "prayer hankercheif," or anything as a help or an aid in prayer is not needed or required under any circumstance. There are no magical or divine properties within a piece of cloth, wood, or water. The very idea that you can hold on to a piece of material or pour "blessed" water or oil over an object in order to obtain special favor or draw the ear of God speaks of superstition, and is just one small step away from complete idol worship, in my opinion.

Christians are in need of nothing to aid their prayer or to make their prayer more effective. Want to make your prayer more effective? Then get in touch with the One who will put your prayers into affect! Saints, we have such a wonderful Christ that we can touch and contact in a direct way. We do not need anything to aid our prayer. Christ has entered one into the holiest of holies, poured His blood upon the altar, and sat down at the right hand of God (Heb. 9:12). We now have direct access to the throne of grace, and we can come forward boldly to Him to find mercy and grace for timely help (Heb. 4:16). Therefore, what need have we of anything - any thing - when we have such a wonderful and available Christ?!
