Jesus says a lot about prayer, and he makes big claims for it.

Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you (Matthew 7:7).

Whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours (Mark 11:24).

He who believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do (John 14:12).

Apologists say that Jesus isn’t like a genie, but they need to reread their Bibles. Jesus really does say, “Ask, and ye shall receive”—it’s in John 16:24.

He says it without caveats. That promise has been tested uncountably many times, often by desperate people, but if Jesus answers, it’s indistinguishable from chance.

Even Jesus' and Paul's prayers were not answered. Check the link below: https://www.nairaland.com/5611079/jesus-paul-prayed-christians-unity

Yeah Jesus ain't a genie. I'm still surprised why you still carried Jesus matter into 2020. I see you want to know him.

You can simply ask and he will reveal himself to you. After all he says ask and you shall receive.

I'm very sure you have a carry over lists of unheard prayers from years back...

Even Jesus and Paul's prayers were not answered. So why do you think yours will?

MISHIGAS!



IT IS DISGUSTING HOW FOOLS LIKE YOURSELF THROW AWAY YOUR ETERNAL DESTINIES, BLASPHEMING GOD, BASED ON INATTENTION TO DETAILS.

It is arrogant to think that your cynical, critical, and scornful perusal of Scripture can gain you Knowledge equal to that of a humble, diligent, and reverent reader of The Bible!

. LUKE 14:7-11.

7. And he put forth a Parable
to those which were bidden,
when he marked how
they chose out
the chief rooms;
saying unto them,

8. "When thou art
bidden of any man
to a wedding,
sit not down
in the highest room;
lest a more honourable man
than thou be bidden of him;
9. "And he that bade
thee and him
come and say to thee,

'GIVE THIS MAN PLACE;'

and thou begin with shame
to take the lowest room.
10. "But when thou art bidden,
go and sit down
in the lowest room;
that when he
that bade thee cometh,
he may say unto thee,

'FRIEND,
GO UP HIGHER:'

then shalt thou have worship
in the presence of them
that sit at meat with thee.
11. "For whosoever
exalteth himself
shall be abased;
and he that
humbleth himself
shall be exalted."

TO JUDGE GOD, AND THE PROPHETS OF GOD, YOU MUST BE SEATED IN THE HIGHEST SEATS OF THE HOUSE OF GOD.

Yet, we find you ignorant, who have not even found THE DOOR, yet, railing accusations as though you knew what you were talking about!

. MATTHEW 5:1-20.

AND seeing the multitudes,
he went up into a mountain:
and when he was set,
his Disciples came unto him:
2. And he opened his mouth,
and taught them,
Saying,

3. "Blessed are
the Poor
in Spirit:
for theirs is The Kingdom
of Heaven.
4. "Blessed are
they that mourn:
for they shall be comforted.
5. "Blessed are the meek:
for they shall inherit the Earth.
6. Blessed are they which do
Hunger and Thirst after Righteousness:
for they shall be filled.
7. "Blessed are
the merciful:
for they shall obtain Mercy.
8. "Blessed are
the Pure in Heart:
for they shall see God.
9. "Blessed are
the PeaceMakers:

the Children of God.
10. "Blessed are
they which are Persecuted
for Righteousness' sake:
for theirs is
The Kingdom of Heaven.
11. "Blessed are ye,
when men shall Revile you,
and Persecute you,
and shall say
all manner of Evil
against you Falsely,
for my sake.
12. "Rejoice,
and be exceeding glad:
for great is your Reward in Heaven:
for so Persecuted they
the Prophets
which were before you.
13. "Ye are
The Salt of the Earth:
but if the salt
have lost his savour,
wherewith shall it
be salted?
It is thenceforth
good for nothing,
but to be cast out,
and to be trodden under
foot of men.
14. "Ye are
The Light of the World.
A city that is
set on an hill
cannot be hid.
15. "Neither do men
light a candle,
and put it under a bushel,
but on a candlestick;
and it giveth light
unto all that are in the house.
16. "Let your light
so shine before men,
that they may
see your Good Works,
and glorify your Father
which is in Heaven.
17. "Think not
that I am come
to destroy The Law,
or The Prophets:
I am not come to destroy,
but to fulfil.
18. "For verily I Say unto you,

'TILL HEAVEN
AND EARTH PASS,
ONE JOT OR ONE TITTLE
SHALL IN NO WISE
PASS FROM THE LAW,
TILL ALL BE FULFILLED.'

19. "Whosoever therefore
shall break
one of these least Commandments,
and shall teach men so,
he shall be called the least
in the Kingdom of Heaven:
but whosoever shall do
and teach them,
the same shall be called great
in the Kingdom of Heaven.

'THAT EXCEPT YOUR RIGHTEOUSNESS
SHALL EXCEED THE RIGHTEOUSNESS
OF THE SCRIBES AND PHARISEES,

To WHOM are the Promises of Lord Yeshua addressed?

. MATTHEW 7:7-29.

7. "Ask, and it shall be
given you;
seek, and ye shall find;
knock, and it shall be
opened unto you:
8. "For every one
that asketh receiveth;
and he that seeketh findeth;
and to him that knocketh
it shall be opened.
9. "Or what man
is there of you,
whom if his son ask bread,
will he give him a stone?
10. ”Or if he ask a fish,
will he give him a serpent?
11. "If ye then, being Evil,
know how to give good gifts
unto your children,
how much more
shall your Father
Which is in Heaven
give Good Things
to them that ask Him?
12. "Therefore all things
whatsoever ye would
that men should do to you,
do ye even so to them:
for this is
The Law and The Prophets.
13. "Enter ye in
at The Strait Gate:
for wide is the Gate,
and broad is the way,
that leadeth to Destruction,
and many there be
which go in thereat:
14. "Because strait is the Gate,
and narrow is The Way,
which leadeth unto Life,
and few there be that find it.
15. "Beware of False Prophets,
which come to you
in sheep's clothing,
but inwardly they are
ravening wolves.
16. "Ye shall know them by their fruits.
Do men gather
grapes of thorns,
or figs of thistles?
17. "Even so every Good Tree
bringeth forth Good Fruit;
but a Corrupt Tree
bringeth forth Evil Fruit.
18. "A Good Tree cannot
bring forth Evil Fruit,
neither can a Corrupt Tree
bring forth Good Fruit.
19. "Every tree that
bringeth not forth Good Fruit
is hewn down,
and cast into the Fire.
20 Wherefore by their Fruits
ye shall know them.
21. "Not every one
that saith unto me,
'Lord, Lord,' shall enter into
The Kingdom of Heaven;
but He that doeth
The Will of my Father
Which is in Heaven.
22 Many will say to me
in That Day,

'LORD, LORD,
HAVE WE NOT
PROPHESIED IN THY NAME?
AND IN THY NAME
HAVE CAST OUT DEVILS?
AND IN THY NAME
DONE MANY
WONDERFUL WORKS?'

23. "And then will I
profess unto them,

'I NEVER KNEW YOU:
DEPART FROM ME,
YE THAT WORK INIQUITY.'

24. "Therefore whosoever heareth
These Sayings of mine,
and doeth Them,
I will liken him unto
a Wise Man,
which built his house
upon a rock:
25. "And the rain descended,
and the floods came,
and the winds blew,
and beat upon that house;
and it fell not:
for it was founded
upon a rock.
26 . "And every one
that heareth
These Sayings of mine,
and doeth them not,
shall be likened unto
a Foolish Man,
which built his house
upon the sand:
27. "And the rain descended,
and the floods came,
and the winds blew,
and beat upon that house;
and it fell:
and great was the fall of it."
28. And it came to pass,
when Jesus had
ended these Sayings,
the people were astonished
at his Doctrine:
29. For He taught them
as one having authority,
and not as the scribes.

THE PROMISES THAT THE PRAYERS OF THOSE WHO ASK GOD, AND KNOCK REPEATEDLY, AND SEEK, WILL BE ANSWERED POSITIVELY WAS GIVEN TO WHOM?

. GENESIS 17:1-14.

AND when Abram was
ninety years old and nine,
The LORD appeared to Abram,
and Said unto him,

"I am The Almighty God;
walk before Me,
and be thou perfect.
2. "And I will make
My Covenant
between Me and thee,
and will multiply thee exceedingly."

3. And Abram fell on his face:
and God Talked with him,
Saying,

4. "As for Me,
behold, My Covenant
is with thee,
and thou shalt be
a Father of many Nations.
5. "Neither shall thy name
any more be called "Abram,"
but thy name shall be "Abraham;"
for a father of many nations
have I made thee.
6. "And I will make thee
Exceeding Fruitful,
and I will make
nations of thee,
and kings shall
come out of thee.
7. "And I will establish
My Covenant
between Me and thee
and thy seed after thee
in their Generations
for an Everlasting Covenant,
to be a God unto thee,
and to thy seed after thee.
8. "And I will give unto thee,
and to thy seed after thee,
the land wherein
thou art a stranger,
all the land of Canaan,
for an Everlasting Possession;
and I will be their God."

9. And God Said
unto Abraham,

"Thou shalt keep
My Covenant therefore,
thou, and thy seed after thee
in their Generations.
10. "This is My Covenant,
Which ye shall keep,
between Me and you
and thy seed after thee;

'EVERY MAN CHILD AMONG YOU
SHALL BE CIRCUMCISED.'

11. "And ye shall circumcise
the flesh of your foreskin;
and it shall be
a Token of The Covenant
betwixt me and you.
12. "And he that is
eight days old
shall be circumcised
among you,
every man child
in your Generations,
he that is born in the house,
or bought with money
of any stranger,
which is not of thy seed.
13. "He that is born
in thy house,
and he that is bought
with thy money,
must needs be circumcised:
and My Covenant
shall be in your flesh
for an Everlasting Covenant.
14. "And the uncircumcised
man child
whose flesh of his foreskin
is not circumcised,
that soul shall be cut off
from his people;
he hath broken My Covenant."

LORD YESHUA WAS TALKING TO PEOPLE WHOSE GOD WAS YAHWEH: WHO HAD DEDICATED THEIR LIVES TO HIM FROM AGE 13- BOTH MEN AND WOMEN (BAR/BAT MITZVAH).

God was their God.

They duly acknowledged which of the 613 Commandments THEY had broken.

They were not uncircumcised Gentiles, who worshipped gods of metal, wood, and stone without question for Centuries- but need YAHWEH GOD to give them a SIGN before they believe in Him, and obey Him.

Before you open that your filthy mouth to talk about God, you first need to SERIOUSLY STUDY THE GROUND-RULES- because, if you say the WRONG thing, THAT IS THE END OF YOUR ETERNAL DESTINY!

Unbelievers can laugh NOW- God and their Judgment may be very far away, so that there is nothing to be afraid of, TODAY.

But one day you WILL face CERTAIN DEATH. I never heard of an Atheist LAUGHING at the point of Death before.

ANTON SZANDOR LaVEY was very vocal about his blasphemous contempt toward the Lord Yeshua.

However, on his deathbed, he WEPT, and BEGGED for Lord Yeshua to FORGIVE him!

That trick never works.

After entering The Kingdom of Heaven, Lord Yeshua is going to demand to know what we have DONE for The Kingdom.

If that is "NOTHING," there will be NO SALVATION!

For anyone to be accepted into The Kingdom of Heaven, they have to be a POSITIVE ASSET to The Kingdom of Heaven.

If all they broke was ONE COMMANDMENT of Lord Yeshua, or Moses, they go to DEATH-ROW CONVICT, immediately!

These people are not guaranteed Positive Answers to their Prayers!

It is only those who are GREAT, and ROCK-FOUNDATIONED whose Prayers are GUARANTEED to be POSTIVELY ANSWERED.

Those are the people on the narrow Way to Life!

. MATTHEW 6:9-15.

9. "After this manner
therefore pray ye:

'OUR FATHER
WHICH ART IN HEAVEN,
HALLOWED BE THY NAME.
10. 'THY KINGDOM COME.
THY WILL
BE DONE IN EARTH,
AS IT IS IN HEAVEN.
11. 'GIVE US THIS DAY
OUR DAILY BREAD.
12. 'AND FORGIVE US
OUR DEBTS,
AS WE FORGIVE
OUR DEBTORS.
13. 'AND LEAD US
NOT INTO TEMPTATION,
BUT DELIVER US FROM EVIL:
FOR THINE IS THE KINGDOM,
AND THE POWER,
AND THE GLORY,
FOR EVER. AMEN.'

14. "For if ye
forgive men their trespasses,
your Heavenly Father
will also forgive you:
15. "But if ye
forgive not men
their trespasses,
neither will your Father
forgive your trespasses."

THE DEFINITION OF "LOVE" IS THE KEEPING OF GOD'S COMMANDMENTS; THEREFORE "HATE" IS THE BREAKING OF GOD'S COMMANDMENTS.

..    1^st JOHN 5:1-5.

WHOSOEVER believeth that

"JESUS IS THE CHRIST"

is Born of God:
and every one that loveth
Him that Begat
loveth him also
that is Begotten of Him.
2. By this we know
that we love
The Children of God,

"WHEN WE LOVE GOD,
AND KEEP
HIS COMMANDMENTS."

3. For this is
The Love of God,

"THAT WE KEEP
HIS COMMANDMENTS:"

and His Commandments
are not grievous.
4. For whatsoever is
Born of God
Overcometh the World:
and this is The Victory
that Overcometh the World,

"(EVEN) OUR FAITH."

5. Who is he that Overcometh the World,
but he that believeth
that Jesus is
The Son of God?

UNFORGIVENESS IS HATRED!

God will not forgive the Sins of those who hate HIS SERVANTS and CHILDREN.

If He does not forgive their Sins, He will not grant their Prayers, either.

. ISAIAH 59:1-4.

BEHOLD,
The LORD's Hand
is not shortened,
that It cannot Save;
neither His ear heavy,
that It cannot Hear:
2. But your Iniquities
have separated
between you and your God,
and your Sins have hid
His Face from you,
that he will not Hear.
3. For your hands
are defiled with Blood,
and your fingers with iniquity;
your lips have spoken Lies, your tongue hath
muttered Perverseness.
4. None calleth for Justice,
nor any pleadeth for Truth:
they trust in Vanity,
and speak Lies;
they conceive Mischief,
and bring forth Iniquity.

IN ORDER TO DISCREDIT THE PROPHET OF GOD, YOU LIED, AND SAID THAT HIS PROMISES WERE WITHOUT CAVEAT- DELIBERATELY IGNORING THE FUNDAMENTAL BELIEFS OF THE HEBREW ISRAELITES, THAT DEFINE WHO DOES, AND WHO DOES NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO BE REGARDED AND HEARD BY GOD!

. NUMBERS 15:27-31.

27. "And if any man Sin
through Ignorance,
then he shall bring
a She Goat of the first year
for a Sin Offering.
28. "And the Priest
shall make an Atonement
for the Soul
that Sinneth Ignorantly,
when he Sinneth
by Ignorance
before The LORD,
to make an Atonement
for him,
and it shall be
forgiven him.
29. " Ye shall have one Law
for him that Sinneth Ignorantly
(both for) him
that is born
among the Children of Israel,
and for the Stranger
that sojourneth
among them.
30. "But the Soul
that doeth
(ought) presumptuously,
(whether he be)
born in the land,
or a Stranger,
the same reproacheth
The LORD;
and that Soul
shall be cut off
from among his people.
31. "Because he hath
despised The Word
of The LORD,
and hath broken
His Commandment,
that Soul
shall utterly be cut off;
his Iniquity
(shall be) upon him."

. DEUTERONOMY 25:13-16.

13. Thou shalt not
have in thy bag
divers weights,
a great and a small.
14. Thou shalt not
have in thine house
divers measures,
a great and a small.
15. (But) thou shalt have
a perfect and just weight,
a perfect and just measure
shalt thou have:
that thy days
may be lengthened
in the land which
The LORD thy God giveth thee.
16. For all that do such things,
(and) all that do unrighteously,
(are) an abomination
unto The LORD thy God.

.   DEUTERONOMY 27:26.

26. Cursed be he
that confirmeth not all
The Words of This Law
to do them.

And all the people shall say,

"AMEN."

. 2^nd CHRONICLES 16:9.

9. "For The Eyes of The LORD
run to and fro throughout
the whole Earth,
to show Himself strong
on behalf of those
whose heart
is perfect toward Him.
Herein thou hast done foolishly:
therefore from henceforth
thou shalt have wars.”

NO ONE WHO DELIBERATELY COMMITTED SIN WAS A PART OF ISRAEL OR THE COVENANT PEOPLE ANY MORE!

They are ABOMINABLE.

They are ACCURSED.

Their hearts are IMPERFECT.

THOSE HAVE NO RIGHT TO PRAY TO GOD, AND EXPECT POSITIVE ANSWERS.

. JOHN 15:1-16.

"I AM The True Vine,
and my Father is The Husbandman.
2. "Every branch in me
that beareth not Fruit
He taketh away:
and every branch
that beareth Fruit,
He purgeth it,
that it may bring forth
more Fruit.
3. "Now ye are clean
through the Word
Which I have Spoken
unto you.
4. "Abide in me,
and I in you.
As the branch cannot
bear fruit of itself,
except it abide in the vine;
no more can ye,
except ye abide in me.
5. "I am the Vine,
ye are the Branches:

'HE THAT ABIDETH IN ME
AND I IN HIM,
THE SAME BRINGETH FORTH
MUCH FRUIT:'

for without me
ye can do Nothing.
6. "If a man abide not in me,
he is cast forth as a branch,
and is withered;
and men gather them,
and cast them into the Fire,
and they are burned.
7. "If ye abide in me,
and my Words abide in you,
ye shall ask what ye will,
and it shall be done unto you.
8. "Herein is
my Father Glorified,

'THAT YE BEAR
MUCH FRUIT.'

so shall ye be my Disciples.
9. "As The Father
hath Loved me,
so have I Loved you:
continue ye in my Love.
10. "If ye keep my Commandments,
ye shall abide in my Love;
even as I have kept
my Father's Commandments,
and abide in His Love.
11. "These things have I
Spoken unto you,
that my Joy
might remain in you,
and that your joy
might be full.
12. "This is my Commandment,

'THAT YE LOVE ONE ANOTHER,
AS I HAVE LOVED YOU.'

13. "Greater love
hath no man than this,

'THAT A MAN
LAY DOWN HIS LIFE
FOR HIS FRIENDS.'

14. "Ye are my Friends,
if ye do whatsoever
I Command you.
15. "Henceforth I call you
not "Servants;"
for the servant knoweth not
what his lord doeth:
but I have called you "Friends;"
for all things that I have
heard of my Father
I have made known unto you.
16. "Ye have not chosen me,
but I have chosen you,
and ordained you,
that ye should go
and bring forth Fruit,
and that your Fruit
should remain:
that whatsoever ye shall ask
of The Father in my Name,
He may give it you."

LORD YESHUA'S PROMISES WERE FOR THOSE WHO ABIDE IN HIM- NOT FOR THOSE WHO DON'T!

You Atheists all think that GOD is even more stupid than you yourselves are.

ASK ALL YOU WANT!

God will NEVER hear you.

SEEK ALL YOU WANT!

You will NEVER find The Door.

KNOCK ALL YOU WANT!

That won't magically make it The Door.

HOW DARE YOU CLAIM THAT THE AMBIGUOUS PRAYERS OF HYPOCRITES ARE THE ONLY ONES CHRISTIANS HAVE ANSWERED!

This doesn't change the fact that Jesus' prayers were left unanswered till today!

ye shall know them.
21. "Not every one
that saith unto me,
'Lord, Lord,' shall enter into
The Kingdom of Heaven;
but He that doeth
The Will of my Father
Which is in Heaven.
22 Many will say to me
in That Day,

'LORD, LORD,
HAVE WE NOT
PROPHESIED IN THY NAME?
AND IN THY NAME
HAVE CAST OUT DEVILS?
AND IN THY NAME
DONE MANY
WONDERFUL WORKS?'

23. "And then will I
profess unto them,

'I NEVER KNEW YOU:
DEPART FROM ME,
YE THAT WORK INIQUITY.'

24. "Therefore whosoever heareth
These Sayings of mine,
and doeth Them,
I will liken him unto
a Wise Man,
which built his house
upon a rock:
25. "And the rain descended,
and the floods came,
and the winds blew,
and beat upon that house;
and it fell not:
for it was founded
upon a rock.
26 . "And every one
that heareth
These Sayings of mine,
and doeth them not,
shall be likened unto
a Foolish Man,
which built his house
upon the sand:
27. "And the rain descended,
and the floods came,
and the winds blew,
and beat upon that house;
and it fell:
and great was the fall of it."
28. And it came to pass,
when Jesus had
ended these Sayings,
the people were astonished
at his Doctrine:
29. For He taught them
as one having authority,
and not as the scribes.

THE PROMISES THAT THE PRAYERS OF THOSE WHO ASK GOD, AND KNOCK REPEATEDLY, AND SEEK, WILL BE ANSWERED POSITIVELY WAS GIVEN TO WHOM?

. GENESIS 17:1-14.

AND when Abram was
ninety years old and nine,
The LORD appeared to Abram,
and Said unto him,

"I am The Almighty God;
walk before Me,
and be thou perfect.
2. "And I will make
My Covenant
between Me and thee,
and will multiply thee exceedingly."

3. And Abram fell on his face:
and God Talked with him,
Saying,

4. "As for Me,
behold, My Covenant
is with thee,
and thou shalt be
a Father of many Nations.
5. "Neither shall thy name
any more be called "Abram,"
but thy name shall be "Abraham;"
for a father of many nations
have I made thee.
6. "And I will make thee
Exceeding Fruitful,
and I will make
nations of thee,
and kings shall
come out of thee.
7. "And I will establish
My Covenant
between Me and thee
and thy seed after thee
in their Generations
for an Everlasting Covenant,
to be a God unto thee,
and to thy seed after thee.
8. "And I will give unto thee,
and to thy seed after thee,
the land wherein
thou art a stranger,
all the land of Canaan,
for an Everlasting Possession;
and I will be their God."

9. And God Said
unto Abraham,

"Thou shalt keep
My Covenant therefore,
thou, and thy seed after thee
in their Generations.
10. "This is My Covenant,
Which ye shall keep,
between Me and you
and thy seed after thee;

'EVERY MAN CHILD AMONG YOU
SHALL BE CIRCUMCISED.'

11. "And ye shall circumcise
the flesh of your foreskin;
and it shall be
a Token of The Covenant
betwixt me and you.
12. "And he that is
eight days old
shall be circumcised
among you,
every man child
in your Generations,
he that is born in the house,
or bought with money
of any stranger,
which is not of thy seed.
13. "He that is born
in thy house,
and he that is bought
with thy money,
must needs be circumcised:
and My Covenant
shall be in your flesh
for an Everlasting Covenant.
14. "And the uncircumcised
man child
whose flesh of his foreskin
is not circumcised,
that soul shall be cut off
from his people;
he hath broken My Covenant."

LORD YESHUA WAS TALKING TO PEOPLE WHOSE GOD WAS YAHWEH: WHO HAD DEDICATED THEIR LIVES TO HIM FROM AGE 13- BOTH MEN AND WOMEN (BAR/BAT MITZVAH).

God was their God.

They duly acknowledged which of the 613 Commandments THEY had broken.

They were not uncircumcised Gentiles, who worshipped gods of metal, wood, and stone without question for Centuries- but need YAHWEH GOD to give them a SIGN before they believe in Him, and obey Him.

Before you open that your filthy mouth to talk about God, you first need to SERIOUSLY STUDY THE GROUND-RULES- because, if you say the WRONG thing, THAT IS THE END OF YOUR ETERNAL DESTINY!

Unbelievers can laugh NOW- God and their Judgment may be very far away, so that there is nothing to be afraid of, TODAY.

But one day you WILL face CERTAIN DEATH. I never heard of an Atheist LAUGHING at the point of Death before.

ANTON SZANDOR LaVEY was very vocal about his blasphemous contempt toward the Lord Yeshua.

However, on his deathbed, he WEPT, and BEGGED for Lord Yeshua to FORGIVE him!

That trick never works.

After entering The Kingdom of Heaven, Lord Yeshua is going to demand to know what we have DONE for The Kingdom.

If that is "NOTHING," there will be NO SALVATION!

For anyone to be accepted into The Kingdom of Heaven, they have to be a POSITIVE ASSET to The Kingdom of Heaven.

If all they broke was ONE COMMANDMENT of Lord Yeshua, or Moses, they go to DEATH-ROW CONVICT, immediately!

These people are not guaranteed Positive Answers to their Prayers!

It is only those who are GREAT, and ROCK-FOUNDATIONED whose Prayers are GUARANTEED to be POSTIVELY ANSWERED.

Those are the people on the narrow Way to Life!

. MATTHEW 6:9-15.

9. "After this manner
therefore pray ye:

'OUR FATHER
WHICH ART IN HEAVEN,
HALLOWED BE THY NAME.
10. 'THY KINGDOM COME.
THY WILL
BE DONE IN EARTH,
AS IT IS IN HEAVEN.
11. 'GIVE US THIS DAY
OUR DAILY BREAD.
12. 'AND FORGIVE US
OUR DEBTS,
AS WE FORGIVE
OUR DEBTORS.
13. 'AND LEAD US
NOT INTO TEMPTATION,
BUT DELIVER US FROM EVIL:
FOR THINE IS THE KINGDOM,
AND THE POWER,
AND THE GLORY,
FOR EVER. AMEN.'

14. "For if ye
forgive men their trespasses,
your Heavenly Father
will also forgive you:
15. "But if ye
forgive not men
their trespasses,
neither will your Father
forgive your trespasses."

THE DEFINITION OF "LOVE" IS THE KEEPING OF GOD'S COMMANDMENTS; THEREFORE "HATE" IS THE BREAKING OF GOD'S COMMANDMENTS.

..    1^st JOHN 5:1-5.

WHOSOEVER believeth that

"JESUS IS THE CHRIST"

is Born of God:
and every one that loveth
Him that Begat
loveth him also
that is Begotten of Him.
2. By this we know
that we love
The Children of God,

"WHEN WE LOVE GOD,
AND KEEP
HIS COMMANDMENTS."

3. For this is
The Love of God,

"THAT WE KEEP
HIS COMMANDMENTS:"

and His Commandments
are not grievous.
4. For whatsoever is
Born of God
Overcometh the World:
and this is The Victory
that Overcometh the World,

"(EVEN) OUR FAITH."

5. Who is he that Overcometh the World,
but he that believeth
that Jesus is
The Son of God?

UNFORGIVENESS IS HATRED!

God will not forgive the Sins of those who hate HIS SERVANTS and CHILDREN.

If He does not forgive their Sins, He will not grant their Prayers, either.

. ISAIAH 59:1-4.

BEHOLD,
The LORD's Hand
is not shortened,
that It cannot Save;
neither His ear heavy,
that It cannot Hear:
2. But your Iniquities
have separated
between you and your God,
and your Sins have hid
His Face from you,
that he will not Hear.
3. For your hands
are defiled with Blood,
and your fingers with iniquity;
your lips have spoken Lies, your tongue hath
muttered Perverseness.
4. None calleth for Justice,
nor any pleadeth for Truth:
they trust in Vanity,
and speak Lies;
they conceive Mischief,
and bring forth Iniquity.

IN ORDER TO DISCREDIT THE PROPHET OF GOD, YOU LIED, AND SAID THAT HIS PROMISES WERE WITHOUT CAVEAT- DELIBERATELY IGNORING THE FUNDAMENTAL BELIEFS OF THE HEBREW ISRAELITES, THAT DEFINE WHO DOES, AND WHO DOES NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO BE REGARDED AND HEARD BY GOD!

. NUMBERS 15:27-31.

27. "And if any man Sin
through Ignorance,
then he shall bring
a She Goat of the first year
for a Sin Offering.
28. "And the Priest
shall make an Atonement
for the Soul
that Sinneth Ignorantly,
when he Sinneth
by Ignorance
before The LORD,
to make an Atonement
for him,
and it shall be
forgiven him.
29. " Ye shall have one Law
for him that Sinneth Ignorantly
(both for) him
that is born
among the Children of Israel,
and for the Stranger
that sojourneth
among them.
30. "But the Soul
that doeth
(ought) presumptuously,
(whether he be)
born in the land,
or a Stranger,
the same reproacheth
The LORD;
and that Soul
shall be cut off
from among his people.
31. "Because he hath
despised The Word
of The LORD,
and hath broken
His Commandment,
that Soul
shall utterly be cut off;
his Iniquity
(shall be) upon him."

. DEUTERONOMY 25:13-16.

13. Thou shalt not
have in thy bag
divers weights,
a great and a small.
14. Thou shalt not
have in thine house
divers measures,
a great and a small.
15. (But) thou shalt have
a perfect and just weight,
a perfect and just measure
shalt thou have:
that thy days
may be lengthened
in the land which
The LORD thy God giveth thee.
16. For all that do such things,
(and) all that do unrighteously,
(are) an abomination
unto The LORD thy God.

.   DEUTERONOMY 27:26.

26. Cursed be he
that confirmeth not all
The Words of This Law
to do them.

And all the people shall say,

"AMEN."

. 2^nd CHRONICLES 16:9.

9. "For The Eyes of The LORD
run to and fro throughout
the whole Earth,
to show Himself strong
on behalf of those
whose heart
is perfect toward Him.
Herein thou hast done foolishly:
therefore from henceforth
thou shalt have wars.”

NO ONE WHO DELIBERATELY COMMITTED SIN WAS A PART OF ISRAEL OR THE COVENANT PEOPLE ANY MORE!

They are ABOMINABLE.

They are ACCURSED.

Their hearts are IMPERFECT.

THOSE HAVE NO RIGHT TO PRAY TO GOD, AND EXPECT POSITIVE ANSWERS.

. JOHN 15:1-16.

"I AM The True Vine,
and my Father is The Husbandman.
2. "Every branch in me
that beareth not Fruit
He taketh away:
and every branch
that beareth Fruit,
He purgeth it,
that it may bring forth
more Fruit.
3. "Now ye are clean
through the Word
Which I have Spoken
unto you.
4. "Abide in me,
and I in you.
As the branch cannot
bear fruit of itself,
except it abide in the vine;
no more can ye,
except ye abide in me.
5. "I am the Vine,
ye are the Branches:

'HE THAT ABIDETH IN ME
AND I IN HIM,
THE SAME BRINGETH FORTH
MUCH FRUIT:'

for without me
ye can do Nothing.
6. "If a man abide not in me,
he is cast forth as a branch,
and is withered;
and men gather them,
and cast them into the Fire,
and they are burned.
7. "If ye abide in me,
and my Words abide in you,
ye shall ask what ye will,
and it shall be done unto you.
8. "Herein is
my Father Glorified,

'THAT YE BEAR
MUCH FRUIT.'

so shall ye be my Disciples.
9. "As The Father
hath Loved me,
so have I Loved you:
continue ye in my Love.
10. "If ye keep my Commandments,
ye shall abide in my Love;
even as I have kept
my Father's Commandments,
and abide in His Love.
11. "These things have I
Spoken unto you,
that my Joy
might remain in you,
and that your joy
might be full.
12. "This is my Commandment,

'THAT YE LOVE ONE ANOTHER,
AS I HAVE LOVED YOU.'

13. "Greater love
hath no man than this,

'THAT A MAN
LAY DOWN HIS LIFE
FOR HIS FRIENDS.'

14. "Ye are my Friends,
if ye do whatsoever
I Command you.
15. "Henceforth I call you
not "Servants;"
for the servant knoweth not
what his lord doeth:
but I have called you "Friends;"
for all things that I have
heard of my Father
I have made known unto you.
16. "Ye have not chosen me,
but I have chosen you,
and ordained you,
that ye should go
and bring forth Fruit,
and that your Fruit
should remain:
that whatsoever ye shall ask
of The Father in my Name,
He may give it you."

LORD YESHUA'S PROMISES WERE FOR THOSE WHO ABIDE IN HIM- NOT FOR THOSE WHO DON'T!

You Atheists all think that GOD is even more stupid than you yourselves are.

ASK ALL YOU WANT!

God will NEVER hear you.

SEEK ALL YOU WANT!

You will NEVER find The Door.

KNOCK ALL YOU WANT!

That won't magically make it The Door.

HOW DARE YOU CLAIM THAT THE AMBIGUOUS PRAYERS OF HYPOCRITES ARE THE ONLY ONES CHRISTIANS HAVE ANSWERED!



YOU STILL PERSIST IN YOUR LYING?

Lord Yeshua's Prayers were POSITIVELY ANSWERED TO THE LETTER: all who believe on YESHUA through the Disciples' Word are ONE WITH HIM, AND WITH GOD and INDIVISIBLY WITH ONE ANOTHER.

Whereas, those who ABANDON LORD YESHUA, to BELIEVE ON "DISCIPLES," and "APOSTLES" have hundreds into thousands of SECTS, FACTIONS, and DIVISIONS- ALL ULTIMATELY FAILURES!

You were BLINDED by HATE, and COULD NOT SEE. Has that changed?

[To be Concluded:]

I NEVER KNEW YOU:
DEPART FROM ME,
YE THAT WORK INIQUITY.

Try to derail the thread with the long post.

Look at what the holy spirit caused? Long post, same post, abuse and insults! Well, I know you have prayers you carried over from years back!

Your prayers won't be answered anytime soon!

AntiChristian:
Jesus says a lot about prayer, and he makes big claims for it.

Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you (Matthew 7:7).

Whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours (Mark 11:24).

He who believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do (John 14:12).

Apologists say that Jesus isn’t like a genie, but they need to reread their Bibles. Jesus really does say, “Ask, and ye shall receive”—it’s in John 16:24.

He says it without caveats. That promise has been tested uncountably many times, often by desperate people, but if Jesus answers, it’s indistinguishable from chance.

Even Jesus' and Paul's prayers were not answered. Check the link below: https://www.nairaland.com/5611079/jesus-paul-prayed-christians-unity

First of all JESUS is the main Character on this issue of PRAYER, therefore it's vital we study him CLOSELY to fully grasp what he meant as recorded in those gospels!

He is the one bearing the title "CHRIST", that means the word CHRISTIANS should be rightly applied ONLY to those following his footsteps!

So what are the THINGS that's of utmost importance to the man called Jesus?

Because from there we can find out what CHRISTIANS should hold compulsory.

Well according to the four gospels, Jesus' heartfelt desire is for

(1) God's name to be Sanctified!
(2) God's kingdom to come!
(3) God's will to be done on earth as in heaven!
(4) For God's servants to get their DAILY needs!
(5) For Christians to have LOVE, JOY and PEACE in their midst as they freely forgive one another!
(6) For Christians to be protected and delivered from all the temptations of Satan!

READ Matthew 6:9-13, Luke 11:2-4

Whoever is looking for the fulfilment of this point of prayers without distinguishing Jesus' TRUE group out of all the countless different religions with contradicting doctrines and conflicting teachings all claiming Christians, then such an individual is deceiving himself.

Because Jesus himself said "Not all those calling me Lord Lord are doing the will of my father" Matthew 7:21

Considering the one and only group preaching and teaching in the manner Jesus laid down "JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES". Everyone can see that everything Jesus prayed for is gradually been fulfilled in their midst! Matthew 5:14-16

Their main focus is how to Sanctify God's name by preaching and teaching about his kingdom throughout the earth, so they have no other special PRAYER than that!

In fact that's why most misinformed churchgoers accuse them of not been prayerful to their own understanding, as Jehovah's Witnesses will only limit their worries on the points Jesus mentioned in the model prayer and NOTHING more!

Even Muhammad had a misconception on those Bible verses you quoted above, though by his own time TRUE Christianity has been overshadowed by the evil seeds of Satan, so Muhammad thought Jesus' words was to be taken literally. He commanded a mountain to come but nothing happened, he have to walk up to the mountain, and it became a popular adage till today!

IF THE MOUNTAIN WON'T COME TO MUHAMMAD, MUHAMMAD CAN GO TO THE MOUNTAIN!

So go and ask Jehovah's Witnesses (TRUE Christians) what those verses means. You have better chances today than Muhammad (who went into trance to communicate with God when true Christians aren't operating FREELY) he ended up communicating with DEMONS!

Jehovah's Witnesses are around you now, so you can ask any question from them regarding what our Master, Lord and King Jesus taught!

That's what the Qur'an @ 10:94 ask Muhammad to do for him to fully understand God's word!

Thank you Sir!

No I don't have carry over prayers. You see unlike most Christians looking for a genie, I move on. One way doesn't work, I take it, it was not God's will and I try something else.

You do realise that when people pray to get an opportunity, there are a hundred other people who are vying for the same thing. If it was meant to be, you would get it. I have had experience where I prayed for something and didn't get it. I blamed God, cried, cursed and typically stopped going to church. I was disappointed but after I had even forgotten about it, something better came along the way.

I had to take everything back, the good thing had come at the time of my disappointment but I did not get the news at the time. I made a promise that day never to be angry with God for the things I did not get but instead be grateful for the things I had and the things I was yet to receive.

When you experience God , you will forget all this thread you keep opening countering the bible. You even read the bible more than me and for that I admire you. I read the bible mostly only on Sundays but I experience God everyday. He is here in my heart and nothing else matters.

AntiChristian:


I'm very sure you have a carry over lists of unheard prayers from years back...

Even Jesus and Paul's prayers were not answered. So why do you think yours will?

But this actually goes against Matthew 7:7 Ask and you shall be given, seek and you shall find...

It doesn't. When you ask, you get even measures beyond what you expect. It's the same way with our earthly parents. When you ask for things, if they are good for you, your parents will get it for you.

If they think you don't need it now, they will hold on until the right time but eventually you will get what you asked for.

If you go by the literal interpretation, I hope you know a lot of people would have died by now. Let's look at the prayers of some funny people, all my enemies die die die by fire.

Now who is your enemy, the person who stopped your promotion because of their relationship with your boss, the person who envies you. Now when a Christian prays they should die, will God kill the enemies literally by fire? No.

Now, that prayer wasn't answered, is that a good thing? Yes. Because someone wanted to use God to commit murder.

Another example 500,000 people are in line for a job. 100,000 are Christians praying, 100,000 are Muslims praying, another sector probably aethiest scientifically prepared for the job. The slot to be filled 1 lucky person. Now what makes you think you deserve the job better than others, because you asked God for it? Breaking news, others asked God for it. It's only logical that one person gets that job.

You will get a job which you have prayed to God for but it may not be what you are looking at but even something better.

There are a lot of reasons people don't know their prayers are answered, it is because they are focused on a need so much that they don't realise that there are other ways that need will be met. God doesn't operate like men, he doesn't think like us, so you should not expect to know what to expect until it happens. You may not even know your prayers are answered because your mind is fixed on a certain thing.

so it should have been "Ask and you will be given what is due to you!"

Now you're getting close. Have a wonderful day my friend.

MISHIGAS!

But this actually goes against Matthew 7:7 Ask and you shall be given, seek and you shall find...

ATHEISM IS AN ATTENTION-DEFICIT DISORDER.

. MATTHEW 7:7-29.

7. "Ask, and it shall be
given you;
seek, and ye shall find;
knock, and it shall be
opened unto you:
8. "For every one
that asketh receiveth;
and he that seeketh findeth;
and to him that knocketh
it shall be opened.
9. "Or what man
is there of you,
whom if his son ask bread,
will he give him a stone?
10. ”Or if he ask a fish,
will he give him a serpent?
11. "If ye then, being Evil,
know how to give good gifts
unto your children,
how much more
shall your Father
Which is in Heaven
give Good Things
to them that ask Him?
12. "Therefore all things
whatsoever ye would
that men should do to you,
do ye even so to them:
for this is
The Law and The Prophets.
13. "Enter ye in
at The Strait Gate:
for wide is the Gate,
and broad is the way,
that leadeth to Destruction,
and many there be
which go in thereat:
14. "Because strait is the Gate,
and narrow is The Way,
which leadeth unto Life,
and few there be that find it.
15. "Beware of False Prophets,
which come to you
in sheep's clothing,
but inwardly they are
ravening wolves.
16. "Ye shall know them by their fruits.
Do men gather
grapes of thorns,
or figs of thistles?
17. "Even so every Good Tree
bringeth forth Good Fruit;
but a Corrupt Tree
bringeth forth Evil Fruit.
18. "A Good Tree cannot
bring forth Evil Fruit,
neither can a Corrupt Tree
bring forth Good Fruit.
19. "Every tree that
bringeth not forth Good Fruit
is hewn down,
and cast into the Fire.
20 Wherefore by their Fruits
ye shall know them.
21. "Not every one
that saith unto me,
'Lord, Lord,' shall enter into
The Kingdom of Heaven;
but He that doeth
The Will of my Father
Which is in Heaven.
22 Many will say to me
in That Day,

'LORD, LORD,
HAVE WE NOT
PROPHESIED IN THY NAME?
AND IN THY NAME
HAVE CAST OUT DEVILS?
AND IN THY NAME
DONE MANY
WONDERFUL WORKS?'

23. "And then will I
profess unto them,

'I NEVER KNEW YOU:

24. "Therefore whosoever heareth
These Sayings of mine,
and doeth Them,
I will liken him unto
a Wise Man,

and beat upon that house;
and it fell:
and great was the fall of it."
28. And it came to pass,
when Jesus had
ended these Sayings,
the people were astonished
at his Doctrine:
29. For He taught them
as one having authority,
and not as the scribes.

WHATEVER LORD YESHUA PROMISED, HE PROMISED TO HIS OWN PEOPLE, WHO HAD GIVEN UP THEIR POSITIONS IN THEIR SOCIETY AND THEIR FAMILIES, TO BE WITH HIM, AND SERVE GOD TRUTHFULLY.

For that, they were judged "RACA," and called "FOOLS," by their own families, and BANNED from the Synagogues they had attended their whole lives.

. MATTHEW 5:1-20.

AND seeing the multitudes,
he went up into a mountain:
and when he was set,
his Disciples came unto him:
2. And he opened his mouth,
and taught them,
Saying,

3. "Blessed are
the Poor
in Spirit:
for theirs is The Kingdom
of Heaven.
4. "Blessed are
they that mourn:
for they shall be comforted.
5. "Blessed are the meek:
for they shall inherit the Earth.
6. Blessed are they which do
Hunger and Thirst after Righteousness:
for they shall be filled.
7. "Blessed are
the merciful:
for they shall obtain Mercy.
8. "Blessed are
the Pure in Heart:
for they shall see God.
9. "Blessed are
the PeaceMakers:

the Children of God.
10. "Blessed are
they which are Persecuted
for Righteousness' sake:

The Kingdom of Heaven.
11. "Blessed are ye,
when men shall Revile you,
and Persecute you,
and shall say
all manner of Evil
against you Falsely,
for my sake.

but if the salt
have lost his savour,
wherewith shall it
be salted?
It is thenceforth
good for nothing,
but to be cast out,
and to be trodden under
foot of men.
14. "Ye are
The Light of the World.
A city that is
set on an hill
cannot be hid.
15. "Neither do men
light a candle,
and put it under a bushel,
but on a candlestick;
and it giveth light
unto all that are in the house.
16. "Let your light
so shine before men,
that they may
see your Good Works,
and glorify your Father
which is in Heaven.
17. "Think not
that I am come
to destroy The Law,
or The Prophets:
I am not come to destroy,
but to fulfil.
18. "For verily I Say unto you,

'TILL HEAVEN
AND EARTH PASS,
ONE JOT OR ONE TITTLE
SHALL IN NO WISE
PASS FROM THE LAW,
TILL ALL BE FULFILLED.'

19. "Whosoever therefore
shall break
one of these least Commandments,
and shall teach men so,
he shall be called the least
in the Kingdom of Heaven:
but whosoever shall do
and teach them,
the same shall be called great
in the Kingdom of Heaven.
20. "For I Say unto you,

'THAT EXCEPT YOUR RIGHTEOUSNESS
SHALL EXCEED THE RIGHTEOUSNESS
OF THE SCRIBES AND PHARISEES,
YE SHALL IN NO CASE
ENTER INTO
THE KINGDOM
OF HEAVEN.' "

It is those "SALT-OF-THE-EARTH" and "LIGHT-OF-THE-WORLD" people whom Lord Yeshua was making his Promises to. NOT YOUR KIND, WHO ARE THE DUNG-OF-THE-EARTH, and TRUE FOOLS, lacking Wisdom and Understanding, because of your SINS AND INIQUITIES!

.     DEUTERONOMY 29:18-29.

18. Lest there should be among you
man, or woman, or family, or tribe,
whose heart turneth away this day
from The LORD our God,
to go and serve the gods of these nations;
lest there should be among you a root
that beareth gall and wormwood;
19. And it come to pass,
when he heareth the Words of this Curse,
that he bless himself in his heart,
saying,

"I SHALL HAVE PEACE,
THOUGH I WALK IN THE IMAGINATION
OF MINE HEART,
TO ADD DRUNKENNESS TO THIRST:"

20. The LORD will not spare him,
but then The Anger of The LORD
and His Jealousy shall smoke against that man,
and all The Curses that are written in this Book
shall lie upon him,
and the LORD shall blot out his name
from under Heaven.
21. And The LORD shall separate him unto Evil
out of all the Tribes of Israel,
according to all the Curses of the Covenant
that are written in this Book of the Law:
22. So that the Generation to come
of your children that shall rise up after you,
and the stranger that shall come from a far land,
shall say, when they see the Plagues of that land,
and the Sicknesses which The LORD hath laid upon it;
23. And that the whole land thereof
is brimstone, and salt, and burning,
that it is not sown,
nor beareth, nor any grass groweth therein,
like the overthrow of Sodom, and Gomorrah,
Admah, and Zeboim,
which the LORD overthrew in His Anger,
and in His Wrath:
24. Even all nations shall say,

"WHEREFORE HATH THE LORD
DONE THUS UNTO THIS LAND?
WHAT MEANETH THE HEAT
OF THIS GREAT ANGER?"

25. Then men shall say,

"BECAUSE THEY HAVE FORSAKEN THE COVENANT
OF THE LORD GOD OF THEIR FATHERS,
WHICH HE MADE WITH THEM
WHEN HE BROUGHT THEM FORTH
OUT OF THE LAND OF EGYPT:
26. "FOR THEY WENT AND SERVED OTHER GODS,
AND WORSHIPPED THEM,
GODS WHOM THEY KNEW NOT,
AND WHOM HE HAD NOT GIVEN UNTO THEM:
27. "AND THE ANGER OF THE LORD
WAS KINDLED AGAINST THIS LAND,
TO BRING UPON IT ALL THE CURSES
THAT ARE WRITTEN IN THIS BOOK:
28. "AND THE LORD ROOTED THEM
OUT OF THEIR LAND IN ANGER,
AND IN WRATH,
AND IN GREAT INDIGNATION,
AND CAST THEM INTO ANOTHER LAND,
AS IT IS THIS DAY."

29. The Secret (Things belong)
unto The LORD our God:
but those (Things which are)
revealed belong unto us
and to our Children for ever,
that we may do all
The Words of This Law.

LORD YESHUA GOT HIS HOLINESS AND AUTHORITY FROM THE LAW OF MOSES- IT WAS THEREFORE IMPOSSIBLE FOR HIM TO ISSUE ANY COMMANDMENT, PROMISE, OR TEACHING THAT SUPERSEDES THE LAW!

.   MATTHEW 12:41-45.

41. "The men of Nineveh
shall rise in Judgment
with this Generation,
and shall Condemn It:
because they repented
at the Preaching of Jonas;
and, behold,
a Greater than Jonas is here.
42. "The Queen of the South
shall rise up in the Judgment
with this Generation,
and shall Condemn It:
for she came from
The Uttermost Parts of the Earth
to hear The Wisdom of Solomon;
and, behold,
a Greater than Solomon is here.
43. "When the unclean spirit
is gone out of a man,
he walketh through dry places,
seeking rest,
and findeth none.
44. "Then he saith,

'I WILL RETURN INTO MY HOUSE
FROM WHENCE I CAME OUT;'

and when he is come, he findeth it empty,
swept, and garnished.
45. "Then goeth he, and taketh with himself
seven other spirits more wicked than himself,
and they enter in and dwell there:
and the last state of that man
is worse than the first.
Even so shall it be also
unto this Wicked Generation."

IS IT REASONABLE TO YOU, THAT A PERSON WHO IS DEVIL-POSSESSED ON ALL EIGHT LEVELS OF EXISTENCE, COULD RECEIVE THEIR PRAYERS ANSWERED, OPEN ANY DOOR, OR RECEIVE ANY NEED?[/i]

If that were so, when Lord Yeshua threatened Sinners and Backsliders with HELL, he was CONTRADICTING HIMSELF, because if those Promises applied to EVERYONE, that means that NO ONE could be HELD in HELL.

The Word of God is SELF-CONSISTENT.

GOD NEVER CONTRADICTS HIMSELF.

People claiming to speak for God might contradict Him, but a true Speaker-for-God never contradicts God.

. JOHN 17:20-23.

20. "Neither pray I
for these alone,
but for them also
which shall believe on me
through their Word;
21. "That they all may be One;
as Thou, Father, art in me,
and I in Thee,
that they also may be
One in us:
that the World may believe
that Thou hast sent me.
22. "And the Glory
Which thou gavest me
I have given them;
that they may be One,
even as we are One:
23. "I in them, and Thou in me,
that they may be made
Perfect in One;
and that the World may know
that Thou hast sent me,
and hast loved them,
as Thou hast loved me."

WHOM DO YOU POINT TO, AS AN EXAMPLE OF PEOPLE WHO "BELIEVED ON LORD YESHUA THROUGH THE WORD OF THE (THEN SLEEPING) DISCIPLRS?"

No such people have ever existed, yet!

THE NEW TESTAMENT ADEQUATELY DESCRIBES THE FALL OF THE DISCIPLES, AMD THE CORRUPTION OF THE SEVEN CHURCHES.

Those who BELIEVE ON LORD YESHUA through THE WORDS OF LORD YESHUA that the Disciples FINALLY released, decades TOO LATE, have not yet existed. Instead, all we have had is one counterfeit Church after another.

MISHIGAS!

AntiChristian:

I NEVER KNEW YOU:
DEPART FROM ME,
YE THAT WORK INIQUITY.

Try to derail the thread with the long post.

. EXODUS 20:16.

16. "Thou shalt not
bear False Witness
against thy Neighbour."

DO YOU SUFFER FROM A COGNITIVE, READING, OR WRITING DISORDER?

Can you really point to any part of my "LONG POST," and show that it is irrelevant?

YOU ARE ACCUSING THE GREATEST PROPHET IN HISTORY: EVEN, THE SON OF GOD.

Your ETERNAL DESTINY has probably already been decided, with THOSE words alone!

"REPENT, AND JESUS WILL SAVE YOU!"

May no longer be on-the-table.

I derail nothing, but give complete, comprehensive Answers to people who need Solutions to their Real Problems. You are supposed to have known all of these Scriptures since your CHILDHOOD.

That would have prevented you from ever generating such ignorant ideas, and wicked imaginations.

Only a fool would not appreciate that the Ability to receive exactly what one wants from God far outstrips the value of any other possession or resource.

I have told you exactly what you need to know in order to get every one of your prayers answered positively, but you insist on repeatedly showing why God ignores you.

Did you bother to read the context of the Lord's Prediction, that explains why he never knew the people trying to claim to have been so intimate with him, that they channeled his Powers?

The interface I am using does not permit me to insert Scriptures conveniently.

Do you know that there was a woman who obtained Healing from him, before he even knew who she was?

. MARK 5:21-43.

21. And when Jesus was
passed over again by ship
unto the other side,
much people gathered unto him:
and he was nigh unto the sea.
22. And, behold, there cometh
one of the Rulers of the Synagogue,
Jairus by name;
and when he saw him,
he fell at his feet,
23. And besought him greatly,
saying,

"My little daughter lieth
at the point of death:
I pray thee, come
and lay thy hands on her,
that she may be Healed;
and she shall live."

24. And Jesus went with him;
and much people followed him,
and thronged him.
25. And a certain woman,
which had an issue of blood
twelve years,
26. And had suffered many things
of many physicians,
and had spent all that she had,
and was nothing bettered,
but rather grew worse,
27. When she had heard of Jesus,
came in the press behind,
and touched his garment.
28. For she said,

"IF I MAY TOUCH
BUT HIS CLOTHES,
I SHALL BE WHOLE."

29. And straightway
the fountain of her blood was dried up;
and she felt in her body
that she was Healed
of that Plague.
30. And Jesus,
immediately knowing in himself
that Virtue had gone out of him,
turned him about in the press,
and Said,

"Who Touched my clothes?"

31. And his Disciples said
unto him,

"Thou seest the multitude
thronging thee,
and sayest thou,

'WHO TOUCHED ME?' "

32. And he looked round about
to see her that had done
this thing.
33. But the woman fearing
and trembling,
knowing what was done in her,
came and fell down before him,
and told him all the Truth.
34. And he Said unto her,

"Daughter, thy Faith hath
made thee whole;
go in Peace,
and be whole of thy Plague."

35. While he yet Spake,
there came from
the Ruler of the Synagogue's house
certain which said,

"Thy daughter is dead:
why troublest thou the Master
any further?"

36. As soon as Jesus
heard the word that was spoken,
he saith unto the Ruler of the Synagogue,

"Be not afraid,
only believe."

37. And he suffered no man
to follow him,
save Peter, and James,
and John the brother of James.
38. And he cometh to the house
of the Ruler of the Synagogue,
and seeth the tumult,
and them that wept and wailed greatly.
39. And when he was come in,
he Saith unto them,

"Why make ye this ado,
and weep?
The damsel is not dead,
but sleepeth."

40. And they laughed him to scorn.
But when he had put them all out,
he taketh the father and the mother
of the damsel,
and them that were with him,
and entereth in
where the damsel was lying.
41. And he took the damsel
by the hand,
and Said unto her,

"Talitha cumi;"

which is, being interpreted,

"DAMSEL,
I SAY UNTO THEE,
ARISE."

42. And straightway the damsel arose,
and walked;
for she was of the age of twelve years.
And they were astonished
with a great astonishment.
43. And he charged them straitly
that no man should know it;
and commanded that something
should be given her to eat.

DO YOU KNOW THAT THERE WAS SOME GUY GOING AROUND, CASTING OUT DEVILS, WHOM LORD YESHUA KNEW NOTHING ABOUT?

. MARK 9:33-41.

33.And he came to Capernaum:
and being in the house
he asked them,

"What was it that ye
disputed among yourselves
by the way?"

34. But they held their peace:
for by the way they had
disputed among themselves,
who should be the greatest.
35. And he sat down,
and called the Twelve,
and saith unto them,

"If any man desire to be first,
the same shall be last of all,
and servant of all."

36. And he took a child,
and set him
in the midst of them:
and when he had taken him
in his arms,
he said unto them,

37. "Whosoever shall receive
one of such children
in my Name,
receiveth me:
and whosoever shall receive me,
receiveth not me,
but him that sent me."

38. And John answered him,
saying,

"Master, we saw one
casting out Devils in thy Name,
and he followeth not us:
and we forbad him,
because he followeth not us."

39. But Jesus Said,

"Forbid him not:
for there is no man
which shall do a Miracle
in my Name,
that can lightly speak Evil of me.
40. "For he that is not against us
is on our part.
41. "For whosoever shall give you
a cup of water to drink in my Name,
because ye belong to Christ,
verily I Say unto you,

'HE SHALL NOT
LOSE HIS REWARD.' "

Besides those situations, the Twelve Disciples will surely be among those whom Lord Yeshua will denounce, that he NEVER knew THEM before.

That is consistent with the Prophecy of EZEKIEL, that when Evildoers Repent, their records are effectively expunged.

Corollary to that, when the Righteous "backslide," the record of all the GOOD they did is also expunged.

. EZEKIEL 3:14-21.

14. So The Spirit lifted me up,
and took me away,
and I went in bitterness,
in the heat of my spirit;
but The Hand of The LORD
was Strong upon me.
15. Then I came to them
of The Captivity at Telabib,
that dwelt by the River of Chebar,
and I sat where they sat,
and remained there astonished
among them seven days.
16. And it came to pass
at the end of seven days,
that The Word of The LORD
came unto me,
Saying,

17. "Son of Man,
I have made thee a Watchman
unto The House of Israel:
therefore hear the Word at my mouth,
and give them warning from me.
18. "When I say unto the Wicked,

'THOU SHALT SURELY DIE;'

and thou givest him not Warning,
nor speakest to the Wicked
from his Wicked Way,
to save his life;
the same Wicked man
shall die in his Iniquity;
but his blood will I require
at thine hand.'

19. "Yet if thou warn the Wicked,
and he turn not
from his Wickedness,
nor from his Wicked Way,
he shall die in his Iniquity;
but thou hast delivered thy Soul.
20. "Again,

'WHEN A RIGHTEOUS MAN
DOTH TURN
FROM HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS,
AND COMMIT INIQUITY,
AND I LAY
A STUMBLINGBLOCK BEFORE HIM,
HE SHALL DIE:
BECAUSE THOU HAST NOT
GIVEN HIM WARNING,
HE SHALL DIE IN HIS SIN,
AND HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS
WHICH HE HATH DONE
SHALL NOT BE REMEMBERED;
BUT HIS BLOOD WILL I REQUIRE
AT THINE HAND.'

21. "Nevertheless if thou
Warn the Righteous Man,
that the Righteous Sin not,
and he doth not Sin,
he shall surely live,
because he is Warned;
also thou hast
delivered thy Soul."

THIS IS CONSISTENT WITH LORD YESHUA'S BORN AGAIN DOCTRINE.

It appears that it works BOTH ways.

However, there are certain Iniquities one cannot come back from:

(1) DELIBERATELY-COMMITTED SINS: i.e. "INIQUITIES."

. NUMBERS 15:27-31.

27. "And if any man Sin
through Ignorance,
then he shall bring
a She Goat of the first year
for a Sin Offering.
28. "And the Priest
shall make an Atonement
for the Soul
that Sinneth Ignorantly,
when he Sinneth
by Ignorance
before The LORD,
to make an Atonement
for him,
and it shall be
forgiven him.
29. " Ye shall have one Law
for him that Sinneth Ignorantly
(both for) him
that is born
among the Children of Israel,
and for the Stranger
that sojourneth
among them.
30. "But the Soul
that doeth
(ought) presumptuously,
(whether he be)
born in the land,
or a Stranger,
the same reproacheth
The LORD;
and that Soul
shall be cut off
from among his people.
31. "Because he hath
despised The Word
of The LORD,
and hath broken
His Commandment,
that Soul
shall utterly be cut off;
his Iniquity
(shall be) upon him."

THEIR FORGIVENESS- IF AT ALL- IS BY GOD'S DISCRETION.

No Atonement, Promise, nor Law guarantees forgiveness of INIQUITOUS Sins.

(2) BLASPHEMY AGAINST THE HOLY GHOST.


. MATTHEW 12:30-32.

30. "He that is not with me
is against me;
and he that
gathereth not with me
scattereth abroad.
31. "Wherefore I Say unto you,

'ALL MANNER
OF SIN AND BLASPHEMY
SHALL BE FORGIVEN
UNTO MEN:
BUT THE BLASPHEMY
(AGAINST) THE (HOLY) GHOST
SHALL NOT BE
FORGIVEN UNTO MEN.'

32. "And whosoever
speaketh a word
against the Son of Man,
it shall be forgiven him:
but whosoever speaketh
against The Holy Ghost,
it shall not be forgiven him,
neither in this World,
neither in the World
to come."

GOD CAN BE MERCIFUL- BUT FOR THIS, FORGIVENESS IS UNOBTAINABLE!

(3) DESTRUCTION OF JUNIOR BELIEVERS' FAITH: "OFFENDING LITTLE CHILDREN.


.    MATTHEW 18:1-7.

AT the same time came
the Disciples unto Jesus,
saying,

"Who is the greatest
in The Kingdom of Heaven?"

2. And Jesus called
a little child unto him,
and set him
in the midst of them,
3. And Said,

"Verily I Say unto you,

'EXCEPT YE
BE CONVERTED,
AND BECOME
AS LITTLE CHILDREN,
YE SHALL NOT ENTER INTO
THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.'

4. "Whosoever therefore
shall humble himself
as this little child,
the same is greatest
in The Kingdom of Heaven.
5. "And whoso shall receive
one such little child
in my Name receiveth me.
6. "But whoso shall offend
one of these little ones
which believe in me,
it were better for him
that a millstone
were hanged about his neck,
and that he were drowned
in the Depth of the Sea.
7. "Woe unto the World
because of Offences!
For it must needs be
that Offences come;
but woe to that man
by whom the Offence cometh!"

THERE ARE CLEAR INSTANCES WHERE THE DISCIPLES COMMITTED SUCH OFFENSES!

For instance, Lord Yeshua's Disciples and their "Fiends" forbade the Teaching of The Law of Moses and Circumcision to Gentile Christians- while at the same time withholding Lord Yeshua's actual Teachings from both Hebrew Israelite and Gentile Christians. THOSE SOULS WERE IRREVOCABLY DESTROYED.

There is no way that they could be forgiven for that.

THE "TALENT" OF THEIR "APOSTOLIC" IDENTITIES WAS TAKEN FROM THEM AT THEIR DEATHS, AND WILL BE GIVEN TO WORTHY RECIPIENTS.

This is what usually happens when people die.

Only those who die with TOTAL RECALL retain their identities after Death.

[See: THE FIRE FROM WITHIN, by Carlos Castaneda.]

It is nearly inconceivable that the Disciples had TOTAL RECALL of ALL The Lord's Teachings, and still turned around to betray him like that a THIRD time- but if that is what happened, they survived into the AfterLife, but will currently be in HELL.

You should express gratitude at being told this.

You all should.

.

all this false teachings by atheist,is Christianity the only religion.

SHALOM!

[cokor=silver].[/color] ROMANS 8:26-27.

26. Likewise The Spirit also
helpeth our infirmities:
for we know not
what we should pray for
as we ought:
but The Spirit Itself
maketh intercession for us
with Groanings
which cannot be uttered.
27. And He that
searcheth the hearts
knoweth what is
The Mind of The Spirit,
because He maketh
Intercession for The Saints
according to The Will of God.

LORD YESHUA'S DISCIPLES FOLLOWED HIM FOR ABOUT THREE-AND-A-HALF YEARS, BEFORE THEY COULD RECEIVE THE HOLY GHOST.

The idea that some... UNWASHED GENTILE could expect to receive The Holy Ghost immediately was surely repugnant to any ordinary ISRAELITE- let alone a PHARISEE.

Lord Yeshua had warned his Disciples that the GENTILES would leave them behind.

They therefore took steps to prevent that from happening.

.  JOHN 14:15-27.

15. "If ye love me,
keep my Commandments.
16. "And I will pray The Father,
and He shall give you
another Comforter,
that He may abide with you
for ever;
17. "Even The Spirit of Truth;
Whom the World
cannot receive,
because It seeth Him not,
neither knoweth Him:
but ye know Him;
for He dwelleth with you,
and shall be in you.
18. "I will not
leave you Comfortless:
I will come to you.
19. "Yet a little while,
and the World seeth me
no more;
but ye see me:
because I live,
ye shall live also.
20. "At that Day
ye shall know
that I am in my Father,
and ye in me,
and I in you.
21. "He that hath
my Commandments,
and keepeth them,
he it is that loveth me:
and he that loveth me
shall be loved of my Father,
and I will love him,
and will manifest myself
to him."

22. Judas saith unto him,
not Iscariot,

"Lord, how is it
that thou wilt
manifest thyself unto us,
and not unto the World?"

23. Jesus answered
and Said unto him,

"If a man love me,
he will keep my Words,
and my Father will love him,
and we will come unto him,
and make our abode with him.
24. "He that loveth me not
keepeth not my sayings:
and The Word which ye hear
is not mine,
but The Father's
Which sent me."
25. "These things
have I spoken unto you,
being (yet) present with you.
26. "But The Comforter,
(Which is) The Holy Ghost,
Whom The Father
will send in my Name,
He shall Teach you
all Things,
and bring to
your remembrance
all things whatsoever
I have said unto you.
27. "Peace I leave with you,
my Peace I give unto you:
not as the World giveth
give I unto you.
Let not your heart be troubled,
neither let it be afraid."

WHEN WITHHOLDING THE TEACHINGS OF LORD YESHUA PROVED INSUFFICIENT, THEY WITHHELD THE LAW OF MOSES, TOO.

This was, in effect, banning Christians from reading The Bible.

Just because the Disciples received The Holy Ghost on the Day of Pentecost, that does not mean that He stayed with them.

. THE TEN TALENTS OF POWER. (Matt. 25:1-30.)

1. TOTAL RECALL.
2. EXTRASENSORY PERCEPTION.
3. TELEKINESIS.
4. TELEPORTATION.
5. TRANSLATION.
6-10. EVERLASTING LIFE.

These are what Christians are supposed to Pray For.

One should start with TOTAL RECALL: the least manifestation of Union with The Holy Ghost.

. DEUTERONOMY 6:4-9.

4. Hear, O Israel:
The LORD our God
is one LORD:
5. And thou shalt love
The LORD thy God
with all thine Heart,
and with all thy Soul,
and with all thy might.
6. And these Words,
which I Command thee this day,
shall be in thine heart:
7. And thou shalt teach Them
diligently unto thy children,
and shalt talk of Them
when thou sittest
in thine house,
and when thou walkest
by the way,
and when thou liest down,
and when thou risest up.
8. And thou shalt bind Them
for a sign upon thine hand,
and they shall be as frontlets
between thine eyes.
9. And thou shalt write Them
upon the posts of thy house,
and on thy gates.

. DEUTERONOMY 8:1-6.

ALL The Commandments
Which I Command thee this day
shall ye observe to do,
that ye may live,
and multiply,
and go in and possess the land
which The LORD sware unto your fathers.
2. And thou shalt remember
all the Way which The LORD
thy God led thee
these forty years
in the wilderness,
to humble thee,
and to prove thee,
to know
what was in thine heart,
whether thou wouldest
keep His Commandments,
or no.
3. And He humbled thee,
and suffered thee to hunger,
and fed thee with Manna,
which thou knewest not,
neither did thy fathers know;
that He might
make thee know that

"MAN DOTH NOT
LIVE BY BREAD ONLY
BUT BY EVERY (WORD)
THAT PROCEEDETH
OUT OF THE MOUTH
OF THE LORD
DOTH MAN LIVE."

4. Thy raiment
waxed not old
upon thee,
neither did thy foot swell,
these forty years.
5. Thou shalt also
consider in thine heart,

"THAT, AS A MAN
CHASTENETH HIS SON,
SO THE LORD THY GOD
CHASTENETH THEE."

6. Therefore thou shalt keep
The Commandments of
The LORD thy God,
to walk in His Ways,
and to fear Him.

MEMORIZATION OF THE LAW OF GOD ENSURES THAT WE NEVER COMMIT ANY SIN.

If one does not pray for TOTAL RECALL OF THE WILL OF GOD first of all, one cannot yet be SERIOUS about "BELIEVING-IN-GOD."

I spent five years as a Full-Gospel Pentecostal Christian, before I thought of doing that.

Actually, I got the idea from KENNETH E. HAGIN'S book: GROWING UP SPIRITUALLY.

In it, he explained BIBLICAL Meditation, and recommended PAUL'S Prayers for the EPHESIAN Church.

. EPHESIANS 1:15-23.

15. Wherefore I also,
after I heard of
your Faith in the Lord Jesus,
and Love unto all the Saints,
16. Cease not to
give thanks for you,
making mention of you
in my prayers;
17. That The God of
our Lord Jesus Christ,
The Father of Glory,
may give unto you
The Spirit of Wisdom
and Revelation
in The Knowledge of Him:
18. The eyes
of your Understanding
being Enlightened;
that ye may know
what is The Hope
of His Calling,
and what The Riches
of The Glory of
his Inheritance in The Saints,
19. And what is
the exceeding greatness
of His Power
to us-ward who believe,
according to the working
of His Mighty Power,
20. Which He wrought in Christ,
when he raised him
from the Dead,
and set him at
His own Right Hand
in The Heavenly Places,
21. Far above
all Principality,
and Power,
and Might,
and Dominion,
and every Name
that is named,
not only in This World,
but also in that
which is to come:
22. And hath put all things
under his feet,
and gave him to be
The Head over All Things
to The Church,
23. Which is his Body,
the fulness of him
that filleth all in all.

. EPHESIANS 3:14-21.

14. For this cause I bow my knees
unto The Father of
our Lord Jesus Christ,
15. Of whom the whole Family
in Heaven and Earth is Named,
16. That He would grant you,
according to The Riches of His Glory,
to be strengthened with Might
by His Spirit
in the inner man;
17. That Christ may dwell
in your hearts by Faith;
that ye,
being rooted and grounded
in Love,
18. May be able to comprehend
with all Saints what is the breadth,
and length, and depth, and height;
19. And to know The Love of Christ, which passeth Knowledge,
that ye might be filled
with all the fulness of God.

20.Now unto Him
that is able to do
exceeding abundantly
above all that we ask or think, according to The Power
that worketh in us,
21. Unto Him be
Glory in The Church
by Christ Jesus
throughout all Ages,
World without end.
Amen.

PAUL WAS ONE OF THE WORST LIARS AND HYPOCRITES IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD!

. ACTS 23:6.

6. But when Paul perceived
that the one part were Sadducees,
and the other Pharisees,
he cried out in the Council,

"Men and Brethren,
I am a Pharisee,
the son of a Pharisee:
of The Hope and Resurrection
of the Dead
I am called in question."

. MATTHEW 23:23-33.

23. "Woe unto you,
scribes and Pharisees,
Hypocrites!
For ye pay Tithe of Mint
and Anise and Cummin,
and have omitted
the weightier matters
of The Law,
Judgment, Mercy, and Faith:
these ought ye to have done,
and not to leave the other undone.
24. "Ye Blind Guides,
which strain at a gnat,
and swallow a camel.
25. "Woe unto you,
scribes and Pharisees,
Hypocrites!
For ye make clean the outside
of the cup and of the platter,
but within they are
full of extortion and excess.
26. "Thou blind Pharisee,
cleanse first that
which is within the cup and platter,
that the outside of them
may be clean also.
27. "Woe unto you,
scribes and Pharisees,
Hypocrites!
For ye are like unto
whited sepulchres,
which indeed
appear beautiful outward,
but are within
full of Dead Men's Bones,
and of all uncleanness.
28. "Even so ye also
outwardly appear Righteous
unto men,
but within ye are
full of Hypocrisy and Iniquity.
29. "Woe unto you,
scribes and Pharisees,
Hypocrites!
Because ye build
the tombs of the Prophets,
and garnish
the sepulchres of the Righteous,
30. "And say,

'IF WE HAD BEEN
IN THE DAYS OF OUR FATHERS,
WE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN
PARTAKERS WITH THEM
IN THE BLOOD
OF THE PROPHETS.'

31. "Wherefore ye be
Witnesses unto yourselves,
that ye are the Children of them
which killed the Prophets.
32. "Fill ye up then
the Measure of your Fathers.
33. "Ye Serpents,
ye Generation of Vipers,
how can ye escape
The Damnation of Hell?"

PAUL INFILTRATED THE CHURCH TO DESTROY IT FROM WITHIN: HIS ENDGAME WAS TO TELL EMPEROR NERO THAT BY TORTURING AND KILLING CHRISTIANS, HE COULD MAKE LORD YESHUA MANIFEST UNTO HIM, WITHOUT REPENTING OF ANYTHING- BECAUSE IT HAD WORKED FOR HIM, PAUL!

If that were true, that would be the last thing anyone who loved Christians would tell a jaded monster like NERO.

. MATTHEW 7:6.

6. "Give not that which is holy
unto the dogs,
neither cast ye your
pearls before swine,
lest they trample them
under their feet,
and turn again,
and rend you."

HIS TELLING EMPEROR NERO HIS TESTIMONY VIOLATED LORD YESHUA'S EXPLICIT COMMANDMENT!

. MATTHEW 15:1-20.

THEN came to Jesus
scribes and Pharisees,
which were of Jerusalem,
saying,

2. "Why do thy Disciples
transgress the Tradition
of the Elders?
For they wash not
their hands when
they eat bread."

3. But he answered
and Said unto them,

"Why do ye also transgress
The Commandment of God
by your Tradition?
4. "For God Commanded,
Saying,

'HONOUR THY FATHER
AND MOTHER:
AND, HE THAT CURSETH
FATHER OR MOTHER
LET HIM DIE THE DEATH.'

5. "But ye say,

'WHOSOEVER SHALL SAY
TO HIS FATHER OR MOTHER,

"IT IS A GIFT,
BY WHATSOEVER
THOU MIGHTEST BE
PROFITED BY ME;"

6. 'AND HONOUR NOT
HIS FATHER OR HIS MOTHER,
HE SHALL BE FREE.'

Thus have ye made
The Commandment of God
of none effect
by your Tradition.
7. "Ye Hypocrites,
well did Esaias
Prophesy of you,
saying,

8. 'THIS PEOPLE
DRAWETH NIGH UNTO ME
WITH THEIR MOUTH,
AND HONOURETH ME
WITH THEIR LIPS;
BUT THEIR HEART
IS FAR FROM ME.
9. 'BUT IN VAIN
THEY DO WORSHIP ME,
TEACHING FOR DOCTRINES
THE COMMANDMENTS
OF MEN.' "

10. And he called the multitude,
and Said unto them,

"Hear, and understand:
11. "Not that which goeth
into the mouth defileth a man;
but that which cometh
out of the mouth,
this defileth a man."

12. Then came his Disciples,
and Said unto him,

"Knowest thou that
the Pharisees were offended,
after they heard this Saying?"

13. But he answered and Said,

"Every plant,
which my Heavenly Father
hath not Planted,
shall be rooted up.
14. "Let them alone:
they be blind leaders
of the blind.
And if the blind lead the blind,
both shall fall into the ditch."

15. Then answered Peter
and said unto him,

"Declare unto us this Parable."

16. And Jesus Said,

"Are ye also yet
without understanding?
17. "Do not ye yet understand,
that whatsoever entereth in
at the mouth
goeth into the belly,
and is cast out
into the draught?
18. "But those things
which proceed
out of the mouth
come forth from the heart;
and they defile the man.
19. "For out of the heart
proceed Evil Thoughts,
Murders, Adulteries,
Fornications, Thefts,
False Witness, Blasphemies:
20. These are the things
which defile a man:
but to eat with
unwashen hands
defileth not a man."

YOU BECOME AN ADULT WHEN YOU ARE ABLE TO LOOK AT THE BIBLE, COMPARE THE TEACHINGS OF LORD YESHUA WITH THE EPISTLES, AND UNDERSTAND THAT CHURCH TRADITION IS A LIE: THE APOSTLES WERE NEVER CHRISTIANS.

. JOHN 14:21-27.

21. "He that hath my Commandments,
and keepeth them,
he it is that loveth me:
and he that loveth me
shall be loved of my Father,
and I will love him,
and will manifest myself
to him."

22. Judas saith unto him,
not Iscariot,

"Lord, how is it
that thou wilt
manifest thyself unto us,
and not unto the World?"

23. Jesus answered
and Said unto him,

"If a man love me,
he will keep my Words:
and my Father will love him,
and we will come unto him,
and make our abode with him.
24. "He that loveth me not
keepeth not my Sayings:
and the Word which ye hear
is not mine,
but The Father's
Which sent me.
25. "These things
have I spoken unto you,
being yet present with you.
26. "But The Comforter,
Which is The Holy Ghost,
Whom The Father will send
in my Name,
He shall teach you all things,
and bring all things
to your remembrance,
whatsoever I have
Said unto you.
27. "Peace I leave with you,
my Peace I give unto you:
not as the World giveth,
give I unto you.
Let not your heart
be troubled,
neither let it be afraid."

IT IS VERY COMFORTING TO HAVE SOMEONE ELSE DO ALL THE THINKING FOR YOU, AND JUST TELL YOU WHAT CHURCH TO JOIN, AND WHAT FORMULA TO FOLLOW, IN ORDER TO BE SAVED.

That System, handed down to us from "THE APOSTLES" is a LIE.

[To be Concluded.]

When any human being accepts to die with Jesus Christ on the Cross, your *dead-self/flesh* becomes *replaced by Jesus Christ resurrected being through His Holy Spirit* thus it is the Holy Spirit *who prays according to God's will inside our mortal-bodies* thus "when we pray according to HIS WILL, He answers us" (1 John 5:14)
and
"Romans 8:26 Likewise the *Holy Spirit* also helpeth our *infirmities/limitations*: for *we know not what we should pray for as we ought*: but the *Holy Spirit Himself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered*. Romans 8:27 And He(the God-head) that *searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Holy Spirit*, because *HE (the Holy Spirit) maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.*

This is one of the *wrong interpretations of the scriptures( just pray 'anything you want' and God will answer it)* that have made so many *used to be Christians* to quit *christianity* or make some people who are still in the church feeling *frustrated that God does not answer the prayers their flesh has been making*

1. It is the Holy Spirit at work in our individual lives that *prompts us to pray* thus Proverbs 21:1 "The *king's heart(every human heart)* is in the hand of the LORD, as the rivers of water: He *turns it wheresoever He wills*
And
Philippians 2:13 "For it is *God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.*

2. The Holy Spirit *makes the prayers through us* (Romans 8:26-27)

3. The Holy Spirit *answers the prayers* (John 14:13-14)
John 14:13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14:14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.

4. The Holy Spirit *enables us to wait without mummering/grumbling till the time of manifesting the answered prayers* (Habbakuk 1:5, Habbakuk 2:3)
Habakkuk 1:5 Behold ye among the heathen, and regard, and wonder marvellously: *for I will work a work in your days, which ye will not believe, though it be told you.*
Habakkuk 2:3 For *the vision is yet for an appointed time*, but at *the end it shall speak, and not lie*: though it tarry, *wait for it;* because it will *surely come*, it will not tarry.

5. The Holy Spirit *brings about the manifestation of the answered prayers at His own appointed time* (Galatians 4:4-5)
Galatians 4:4 But when *the fulness of the time was come*, God *sent forth his Son*, made of a woman, made under the law, *to redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.*

6. The Father is *glorified for the manifestation of the answered prayers* (John 15:8 )
John 15:8 Herein is *my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit;* so shall *ye be my disciples.*

Great Grace Brethren!!!
