People Now Celebrate Carnality And Tag It Spiritual Maturity by GOSPELTRUTH31: 10:16am On May 12, 2023
What you are praying for is someone else abundance

What you are praying for is someone else past experience and Encouters

I hate it when people hide behind prayer to pray for what unbelievers have, it breaks my heart.
This is the reason why unbelievers don't take Christianity of my time serious.
People spend more time praying for Carnal things and tag it Spirituality.

Pray for Spiritual things that only Christ can gift you
Things like Peace, patience, ability to forgive, ability to let go, ability to have wisdom, ability to Discern , ability to Prophesy, ability to study scriptures and have Revelation, ability to obey the word of God.

This are the kind of things a child of God should pray for.

Prayer has been bastardized
Prayer that should be a time for intimacy with God has become a time for requesting carnal things , complaining and Gossiping to God instead of a time for appreciationamd seeking Spiritual knowledge and its gift

Nobody will enter the Kingdom of God by how much prayer they prayed
But Christ will only reward the works of our Earthly journey with him on obedience to the word of God which is the key to our salvation.
Revelation 22:12
And what is the works that Christ will reward?
Mathew 25:33-40
May our Earthly possession be used to express our love for Christ today
Like 16:9
Goodnews

Yeah, I am afraid prayer was bastardized the moment when you folks convinced yourselves that prayer is the key to the heart of God and that by praying a certain way, you can somehow cause God to move or do that which is against Him. undecided

You see, Scripture states that God does not answer the prayers of the unrighteous; the pleas and requests and every petition, praise, offering, work, plea, sacrifice, etc., of the unrighteous are tainted by their sins(disobedience/unholiness) and are hence an abomination to God. So, what is definite is that even your many pleas for the forgiveness of sins are not answered by God given that God made no special exemptions for that kind of plea. No amount of praying can cause God to change His mind regarding that which concerns the unrighteous by the way. So if you are thinking of prescribing more prayers that only means you really don't understand or know God at all. undecided

God, however, openly bragged about how He only answers the prayers of the righteous; He delights in granting them the desires of their heart meaning that they are those who are loved by Him. For this very reason, Jesus Christ urged His followers to seek first the Kingdom of God and God's Righteousness in order that all things— the blessings and rewards of the Kingdom of God(holiness), answers to prayers included—shall be added on to them. And as Jesus Christ explained in His Gospel, the only way to become Holy, and then also Righteous, is by way of continuous submission and obedience to the teachings and commandments of Jesus Christ, god's Truth and Law in the Kingdom of god - John 8 vs 31 - 36 & John 14 vs 15 - 23. Jesus Christ is the only way. Obedience to the Truth of God is the one and only path to righteousness. No amount of praying and other religious rituals can accomplish that. undecided

God deals indirectly with the unrighteous, the same way He deals with the unbelievers including the wicked and the ungrateful and that is by pouring out His mercy and kindness on them daily. So every time as an unrighteous you feel that God has answered your prayer know that at that same moment, or moments before that, God also provided the same mercy or similar to someone else across the world — or maybe just across from you— who does not even believe in God, nor asked God for anything. So, if answers from God are what you seek, then do what Jesus Christ said you should, which is to seek first the Kingdom of God(holiness), and then God's righteousness, in order that all these things —the blessings and rewards of the Kingdom of God(including answers to prayers) can be added to you. undecided

Praying while unrighteous — proclaiming that God answers even your prayers made filthy with your sins(unholiness) —amounts to carnality! undecided
