The issue of whether or not saint at dead or not boils down to this. Do you believe once you are dead it's over?? That seems to be the opinion here.

Moses and Elijah apaered to Jesus in the garden and one of the apostles asked if he should make up 3 tents. Why do dead people need tents?

As for hearing prayers offered up to heaven:

8And when he had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each holding a harp, and with golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints;

Our prayers are heard and offered up to Jesus.

Yes salvation only comes from Jesus, and it is wrong to worship saints. But to ask intercession is not wrong.

And one closing point. We will be more alive in heaven than we can ever be here on earth.

Why would you ask intercession when it is as easy or easier to go directly to Jesus..........            If three of us are standing here and you want or need something of me, I would be greatly offended if you asked the other person to speak to me about it....

Why do you ask other to pray for you, why can't you just go straight to Jesus?? Why do you ask others to mediate for you by praying for you??

I don't ask others to mediate for me at all.    I do sometimes ask for prayer for we are told to pray for each other.....    but I don't see anywhere in scripture either NT or OT that tells me to ask dead people to pray for me or anyone else.    As a matter of further thought I don't think I have read in scripture anywhere that people spoke to dead people or spirits in any positive way.

Moses and Elijah appeared to Jesus in the garden. They were both "dead". Peter could see and hear them.

Mat 17:3-4

3And behold, there appeared to them Moses and Eli'jah, talking with him.

4And Peter said to Jesus, "Lord, it is well that we are here; if you wish, I will make three booths here, one for you and one for Moses and one for Eli'jah." *

When we die our bodies die not our souls!! Physically we are dead but become more alive in spirit than we could ever be on earth.

If you are going to twist asking for the saints to pray for you as mediation that you are guilty of the same thing when you ask others to pray for you.

Like I said, the Bible tells us to pray for one another, but I don't see anywhere it tells in any positive way for me to converse with anyone deceased for any reason.  If you can show me where any of the people in the New Testament asked dead people to do anything, I'll ponder on changing my mind.   Can you show me anywhere anyone asked Mary (after her death) to speak in their behalf I would appreciate it.

I agree that we are encouraged to pray for one another and it even says that the prayers of the righteous man are better. Can't remember the exact quote right off the top of my head.

Who are more righteous than those in heaven?? I would say non. So now the question is can those in heaven pray? I would say yes that prayer doesn't end once you are in heaven. So that leads us to can the righteous in heaven hear our prayer? I say yes they can. In Johns revelation he sees a cherubim offering a bowl of incense to the alter of the Lord. And he says that the bowl of incense is the prayers of the saints. Saints being the believers on earth. John doesn't see Jesus with the prayers... He sees a cherubim with them and is offering them to The Lord. This is where Christ becomes the sole mediator, once the prayers are gathered and offered to him he than meditates.

And I would say that the Cherubim were only the holders of the prayers, that the Holy Spirit delivered them to the Cherubim to be given to Jesus.

There is also a really big difference in Cherubim and Uncle Ralph or even Mary..

 

Being a person who has conversed with the spirit world, I'm just not very likely to want to interface with anything other than the Holy Spirit Himself.....    you can't trust the others.   I would certainly never ask someone to ask Mary for anything in my behalf.

 

Praying to saints in my personal opinion is nothing more than one way necromancy.

    • 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.
