How Some Christians Reveal Their Ignorance To The Devil In Prayers. by knowingChrist(m): 3:30pm On Jan 22, 2022
Life is the process of education while living is being educated. The purpose of creation is that God wanted to create man of his own likeness and he shall educate him for eternity..

Jesus shows this when he came to earth by saying the things he did were shown to him by the father and what he did are the same things the father does (John 5:19. This message shows a kind of relation where the father instructs him, and empowers him to do the things he does. Therefore, the education is the empowerment.

The reason for the manifestation of Jesus is so that the sons of man who were lost in ignorance because of their rebellion against God might receive knowledge and learn to exist like God, being God's son.

From this we understand that having the knowledge of God is the yardtick for recognition of a person as being the son of God without which a person still remains in ignorance and might be doomed for destruction by their own wickedness. The holy spirit was even given for this purpose.

In fact the bible makes it clear that God wants everyone to believe and (concurrence) come to knowledge of his truth (1 Timothy 2:4). From this we know the will of God is that all man should have knowledge. Therefore, the basic attribute of a Christian is his knowledge of the truth of God.

That said, so many people who say they believe in Jesus let out their disbelieve in Jesus when they pray. The devil recognises such people by what they utter in prayers and seizes such opportunity to act.

One might wonder why there are so many religious people in the world with so much suffering and wickedness, but the answer lies in their prayer. Prayer is supose to be a formal request from God but when done outside knowledge (amiss), a person might even invite the opportunistic one into life.

When many people pray, they condemn themselves in prayers, they show forth an absolute lack of knowledge of God's truth so the devil and his ministers prosper in their ignorance.

For example: a Christian must not be heard asking God for mercy, instead they should boldly come before the throne of grace and take mercy which has already been given (Hebrews 4:16). Asking for mercy in this situation shows the lack of knowledge that the mercy was already given, and only needs to be accepted/taken. So the devil recognizing such a person's ignorance entraps them in guilt.

A Christian must not be heard praying For the revelation of their destiny for God had already revealed the collective destiny of all in the bible.

It's important that everyone comes to knowledge of the truth of God, so that they do not continue to be the traitor who sells themselves to the enemy. Although it's known that even those who have knowledge do not really know how to pray so it wonders the mind how those who showcase lack of knowledge in prayer thrive in a world where there's always someone waiting to seize every mistake as an opportunity against an individual.

Our advice from KnowingChrist is that Christians should Pray in knowledge and watch their life transform. Study the bible before praying so you can pray with authority.

thank you for reading, we're wishing you the knowledge of the truth.

For example, a Christian must not be heard praying for the mercy of God to be given unto him as God had already given such person mercy.

So Sorry, I would not. If I taught you, it will not work for God will nullify it.

Figuring it out is part of the formula!

The only tip I will give and can give is "The Bible is Truly True. If you listen to it, and understand it and carry it out, IF YOU DID IT RIGHT, YOU WOULD SEE THE RESULT."

Why do you not come out and clearly accuse me of pride and ignorance rather than throw stones from behind the bushes as a thief?

It is Written, The Word of Life is not for everyone and neither can the world receive it, exactly as ye have proven.

It's well brother. I was never out for argument neither for trolls, I was in for biblical spiritual discussion and word revelation but pride wouldn't let you yield to the Spirit of our Father. Nevertheless God is making name to Himself through me among brethren, you can keep whatever you have hidden in your pride but I'm sure The Holy Ghost got a word for me to you tonight and you to me.

Wherever the word of God is there He's and there His spirit is and He has already promised He will pour His spirit upon all flesh & His Ernest expectation is the manifestations of the sons of men. The good news is that He's already performing it with those who has yielded themselves to the Father. Goodnight son

You still prove me right. Knowing God has done everything He can do for man to be saved, therefore, I have nothing to do.

All who want God know where to find Him or ought to know where He can be found.

If they do not, it is their own doing and I have no hand in it.

It makes sense. "I acknowledge that I've done wrong by doing this & that, I take mercy & forgiveness for all the sins I've committed" as part of prayer to God is better than begging

I thank God. That God is not a human being. We Christians are our own worst enemy.

This is fair enough but I personally think those who teach people nonsense (unbiblical messages) and have instilled in them so many kinds of fear are the believers worst enemy. This is why it's important to study so you're not mechanized to the spirit of fear

I wouldn't know how you want to relate with God. but here's a template just as Jesus gave us one. Thank you father for your work which is finished in Christ. thank you for since the beginning you were diligently working to bring forth the perfect man in Christ. thank you for forgiving me all my iniquities and gifting me your spirit so i should walk in your will. i appreciate this kindness. Thank you for gifting me your righteousness that i should not be judged of my own wickedness and of the pride in my flesh but for your spirit.... Thank you for making me your son and strengthen me to walk as your son. Praying this way makes your responsible

Asking for mercy is not wrong when we pray. The Lord's prayer is a good example of how a Christian should pray. The Lord's prayer contains a line which says "forgive us our treaspasses". Forgiving treaspasses is like asking for mercy over our short comings.

I think you're very correct to some extent so I'll just add a few points to support what you say.

The Lord's prayer was something Jesus taught before the forgiveness of sins of all man which was done in his death. The life we live now is the life of those already forgiven and not those Asking for forgiveness.

furthermore, I'd like to support you more with the fact that the Lord's prayer was meant to expose people to the need to forgive and not the need for God to forgive them. it was meant to put it to man that he doesn't have any business asking for forgiveness if he rrefuses to forgive those who wrong him. This is why he puts it in such a way for the person making the request to know that his answer is dependent on him when he says forgive us "as we forgive as we forgive those who trespass against us"

Forgive means to cease to feel resentment against. God does not feel any resentment against us. In fact John 3:16 tells us how much he loves us so there's no form of resentment in God for us. It's man that's making himself enemy of God and enemy of himself. This is why he says as you forgive those who wrong you bc God has no need to forgive you. He never had any grudge for you. Thank you for giving me this opportunity, I also learnt while writing it
