Are Prayers Really Answered? by Nobody: 11:43am On Feb 13, 2018 |
Just random thoughts bothering me as a Christian. I sometimes wonder why someone may pray for a child for 10 years and receives no answer but will pray to pass an exam even after preparing and later attribute the pass to answered prayers. Or someone praying for healing of asthma for many years and receives no answer but will attribute making money to answered prayers? Why would the easier and 'less important' prayers always be the ones that seem to get 'answered' as against the most difficult and most needed requests? Does God really interfere in our affairs? Are what we call answered prayers actually luck or coincidence? I'm just curious. 3 Likes 1 Share |

@op, Faulty logic is what makes people believe that prayers can be answered!!! If prayers were answered, half of all human beings in Nigeria would be dead(courtesy of "Kill my enemy prayers")!!! 4 Likes 1 Share |

TheOliveSeed: You would have the same success praying to a milk jug as you do praying to Yahweh -- the milk jug sometimes answers your prayer the way you want to, sometimes not and sometimes the answer is delayed. See the problem here? If things turn out the way you want them to, you say it was because you prayed. If not, it's because Yahweh knows what's best and you didn't pray for the right thing. Or, if it happens 10 years later you say Yahweh answered your prayer, it was just delayed. This is nonsense. You would have the exact same effect doing nothing. 14 Likes 5 Shares |

YOU SHOULD ASK.. YOUR PASTOR WHO TELLS YOU TO PRAY YOUR A$$ OUT FOR EVERYTHING BUT GOES ABOUT WITH ARMED MEN AND FULL PROTECTION, AND FLIES ABROAD JUST TO TREAT A HEADACHE. YOUR POPE, THE CHIEF REPRESENTATIVE OF JESUS ON EARTH.. WHO DINES IN GOLD, RAPES SMALL BOYS, MOVES AROUND WITH PROTECTION AND GETS THE BEST HEALTHCARE FROM THE BEST FACILITIES ON EARTH. YOUR MIRACLE WORKERS WHO CAST AND BIND, HEAL AND RESURRECT THE DEAD ON TV, BUT GOES TO THE HOSPITAL TO -AS AN ACT OF CHARITY- PAY THE MEDICAL BILLS OF PATIENTS, INSTEAD OF HEALING THEM. THE PEOPLE OF AFRICA. THEY HAPPEN TO BE THE MOST RELIGIOUS AND PRAYERFUL IN THE UNIVERSE, BUT DEPEND ON OTHER GODLESS NATIONS FOR FOOD, MONEY, CLOTHES, HEALTHCARE, TECHNOLOGY, AND SURVIVAL. IF YOU THINK THAT BECAUSE YOU EARN MONEY, WEAR CLEAN CLOTHES, EAT GOOD FOOD, AND WAKE UP EVERY MORNING.. GOD LOVES YOU... BUT NEGLECTS OTHER MILLIONS INCLUDING KIDS, WHO DIE FROM STARVATION, POISONING, OR DISEASES EVERYDAY, YOU'RE NOT SPECIAL OR FAVOURED, OR CHOSEN BY GOD... YOU'RE JUST A SELFISH M0R0N! 4 Likes |

Gaggi: God has answered all our prayer in the person of Jesus Christ before we ever think of asking. Just open your spirit, soul, and mind to receive through faith expressed in thanksgiving and appreciation unto Him. 1 Like 1 Share |

Gaggi: I can't convince you about answered prayer, all I know is, God answers my prayer and I wrestle sometimes to get answered prayer. First of all, the righteous is as bold as a lion, why do we fear, we are ignorant and we ought not to be ignorant of him who go to and fro, seeking whom he may devour. Lemme tell you the truth, you don't understand spiritual warfare, forget answered prayer. You need pastors like me to tell you, the whole world lies in wickedness. If you will receive answers, then you are a good wrestler. Paul said, I was buffeted and I besought the Lord thrice and He said, my G is sufficient for thee. Reference. 1 John 5:19 And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness. |
