Good morning Nairaland family.

I have a serious question to ask, does prayers really work ?
If it works, why do pastors do black magic ?
Why do pastors do rituals to acquire power instead of praying to God and having faith in him.

When I was in PH the capital city of rivers state, there’s this cult group they call De-gbam, they believe in Odin. Then there’s this cult group they call De-well. I don forget the name of their god.

They believe their god is the superme. But when they need power, they will run to native doctors.

Same thing with Muslims and Christian’s.

Pray to God if you believe in God! Only a man of God will believe in God and only he can talk to God and get God's intervention. The earthly given title "pastor" doesn't mean an individual is turely a man of God. People are mostly called and accepted as pastors because they have convincely demonstrated that they can lead a congregation using skilled not necessarily of the spirit of God.

A man not God may not be called a pastor by men and people called pastors by men may not be man of God. When you pray to God is truth and believe God will answer you.

If you believe you are God's creation, you should believe you can pray to your creator.

NO.
Prayer spoils your life. It presents false hope and clouds your decision making ability

It does Sir.
Make it part of your daily life and watch God change your life through it.

Anyone that prays and also practices black magic or rituals has been deceived by the evil one and needs to seek deliverance. Engaging in such evil practices is an act of darkness while God is light. Light and darkness have nothing in common (1John.1.5 - This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all.)

Go and read your Bible very well. The answers to your questions are there but will never see or understand them because you keep worshipping and looking to men for answers instead of locking yourself in your house and reading the Bible on your own. Nonesense.

1. Prayer works only if you are holy and Righteous. It does not work for the Unrighteous. That is the simple formulae given by God Himself.

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 don't understand or know God at all.

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 he loves. For this very reason, Jesus Christ urged His followers to seek first the Kingdom of God and God's Righteousness so that all things— the blessings and rewards of the Kingdom of God(holiness), answers to prayers included—shall be added on to them. 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 only path to God and His righteousness. No amount of praying and other religious rituals can accomplish that.

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, so that all these things —the blessings and rewards of the Kingdom of God(including answers to prayers) can be added to you.

2. Your pastors and mogs — gods of men — are unrighteous men such as yourself who do not even believe every word out of God's mouth and so find they need to resort to other means to obtain the power they need to continue to rule over your lives with.

Prayer works.... Don't complicate it, just pray

Yes it does. Consistency, knowledge of scriptures, living like a spirit being and understanding things of the spirit is the key.
Prayer works, don't be weary.

Again, so God who instead said He answers only the prayers of those that are righteous— Holiness and God's Righteousness is the Key — is a liar?

You need to know what Jesus taught about PRAYER not what you want to hear about it.

Jesus never taught his disciples to pray for material possessions that's not needed. Matthew 6:11

Instead he taught them to pray for Holy Spirit which will help them to do God's will {Luke 11:13} and while they're doing God's will all their needs (not wants) will be provided. Matthew 6:33-34

So if anyone is praying for material possessions that's not needed then such ones are after WANTS therefore they have nothing to do with Jesus of Nazareth! Matthew 6:19-21

Does this not tell you that they are praying through Satan the giver of black magic?

Therefore, this proves prayer works.

Surely, you must have been praying to a statue o I forgot, you were Catholic, so you were definitely praying to statutes.

Anyway, your problem.

You mean churchgoers. Christians always hear from God so they are always fine and you will never see them running up and down because of problems

Troubles is for sinners..

Of course, was a catholic.
Also was a member of several pentecostal churches.
It's even better to kneel before statutes. Instead of kneeling before something that doesn't exist. It's just like kneeling before yourself 🤣🤣🤣

For me. Prayer has never worked for me.

Again, prayer only works for the Holy and righteous. For the unrighteous, there is God's mercy which you don't really need to do anything to obtain. Your pastors and mogs who pretend God answers some or their prayers only deceive you with lies.
