Does it matter? I know it says to pray in Jesus name to the Father. But I have recollection of something contrary to this? Maybe my memory is faulty here. Sometimes it is. Where are the scriptures that show these things. I am not gifted in remembering where scripture is. At all. Way down at the bottom my gift list. lol.

And He put all things in subjection under His feet and gave Him as head over all things to the church, which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all. So if he is head of all things to the church, why would we still be praying to the Father. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because he is not head over the Father..... it is my understanding that we should be praying to the Father in (through) Jesus Name. I've been doing it so long that I really don't address it specifically to either these days. I just speak as though two friends are in the same room talking to each other.

So we pray coming before the Father's throne with our thanks and petitions in Jesus Name. Never forget to ask the Father to bless Israel and bring peace to Jerusalem...for they are blessed who do so.

Guest Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 I seem to do both.... tho lately it has been to the Father.... Less intimidated now. Truth be told, I've had both answer me.... Father Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ; Ephesians 5:20 Son And they stoned Stephen, calling upon God, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit. Acts 7:59 And Holy Ghost But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost, Jude 1:20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand how it works, but I believe it. I kinda pray as though talking to one is the same as talking to the other so I just kinda alternate based on how I'm feeling from moment to moment, though perhaps it'd make for some interesting self-observations to pay more attention to when and why I switch back and forth. Good question, pemelasv. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
