I’m the last person that thinks about afterlife. I LIVE!!! I don’t worry about tomorrow. You keep dodging questions and trying to guilt trip people into believing shite. I asked a simple question. Does God answers prayers. Narrative I’ve gotten: You have to seek knowledge (about what, from where🤷♂️) You have to be holy (are you more holier than those that illness befell, clearly no) MR HOLIER THAN THOU 😂 You have to follow God unconditionally. Did I ever mention those people started following God after they Got their illness? clearly no! Those people up there started from birth and their relatives are witnesses. Simple question::: what’s the formula for answered prayers ? No clear reply. Just jumping from pillar to post relying on probability 🤦♂️ |

FxMasterz:And you’re a million percent sure you’re holier than those people I mentioned up there. You’re dreaming. A lady served God from when she was little and you’re saying something else. Did I ever mention that they started following God after their sickness?? Does God answer prayers and why didn’t he answer those ones I listed up there ![]() I’ll give you another shot and don’t gimme the holiness pep talk. |

MaxInDHouse:But why do they preach it in church, does that means they clearly wants to deceive the masses for gains because this preachers give their members false hope and you’re wondering, why ![]() |

SpencerForbes:No where did I preach. Did you not see me say since the very beginning, that you cannot be going to Aba then you enter a vehicle going to Accra? SpencerForbes:So you are saying that at your mother's age she is still deceivable? C'mon. SpencerForbes:Is it not in the bible that you reap what you sow, aka you plant yam and you get yam? |

SpencerForbes:Hey, can you quote any part of my posts where I claim holiness or anything above others? Please bring concrete evidence for your fabricated stories. God is a God of principles. Even prayers have rules. And, mind you, there's no one serving God wholeheartedly from his or her youth who comes to such an end as you described. Bring proofs and evidences for your fabricated stories. |

Dtruthspeaker:Anybody can be sweet talked and given hope especially when you’re looking to reap of the person. How do scammers scam old people 🤷♂️ You even pointed out they built churches to lie to people. So the people there are they all kids ? You should be smarter than that. You keep talking about knowledge, knowledge about what ![]() Can you tell a captain to keep sailing looking for the end of the world without telling him where to sail and how?? You’re 100% sure the people I mentioned up there aren’t more righteous than you ![]() Are you without sin ![]() And don’t gimme that story of Jesus died for you because he died for them too. |
| Re: When Faith Meets Reality: Does God Always Answer Prayers? by Nobody: 4:47pm On Nov 13, 2025 |
FxMasterz:You’re kidding. I wish I could post pics without revealing myself. You think the story is fabricated😂 You’ve got no points sir. I wouldn’t lie against God if it never happened and if you know the moniker Spencer, I don’t post for likes and engagement and definitely not on a non payment site. You said the people mentioned in your post served God unconditionally. So because you’re serving God unconditionally that’s why you’re having miracles right?? And all those people that are in healing school, synagogues, Shiloh and even redemption camp are serving God with conditions right ![]() Keep dancing, I’m watching😂 |
| Re: When Faith Meets Reality: Does God Always Answer Prayers? by Nobody: 4:50pm On Nov 13, 2025 |
This were people who were known to have walked with God unconditionally before problem struck. God was not a stand button to them. They had relationship.Fxmasterz Those in redemption camps are serving God with conditions and only few of you in Christianity are serving God without conditions 😂😂😂 You’re really funny. For real |
| Re: When Faith Meets Reality: Does God Always Answer Prayers? by FxMasterz: 4:57pm On Nov 13, 2025 |
SpencerForbes:No mature Christian reasons the way you just did. That someone is in Shiloh, healing school, etc does not mean he is serving God with conditions or with no conditions . The life of a human beign is complex and multifaceted. There's no single jacket fitting for all. Hence, all cases must be treated individually. But the truth is that, you will be able to get answers for yourself if you have been walking with God and are farmiliar with His Presence. The pastors they go to meet are not better than them in anyway. The only difference is farmiliarity. You cannot be serving God wholeheartedly and walking with Him and not be familiar with Him. When you go about seeking the answers you should naturally get yourself, then it's either you are a baby Christian or a norminal Christian who thinks going to church regularly is all there is to knowing God. God is deep. A personal relationship with Him creates farmiliarity. Farmiliarity brings the Presence of God upon the worshiper. This Presence is what makes the difference. If you don't have have it, you can seek it by fellowshipping with Him as I am doing right now. There's no one farmiliar with God that goes out looking for someone else to pray for him. The fact that they are in those places seeking prayers is enough indication that they're not yet there. |

SpencerForbes:Who told you that all those in redemption camps are there because they have problems? |
| Re: When Faith Meets Reality: Does God Always Answer Prayers? by Nobody: 5:08pm On Nov 13, 2025 |
FxMasterz:You’re shifting the goal post again. All I see here is you being threatened. Calm I ain’t dragging members with you. I only threw your words back at you and you’re feeling guilty. I asked a simple question. Why didn’t God reply my big momma. You talked seeking God first and asking for knowledge. You said they were praying for the wrong thing. I asked what’s the right thing, you responded they were to ask for wisdom and knowledge like Solomon. I asked did jabez ask for wisdom (u jumped a yes or no question) and said they served God unconditionally ( clearly avoiding my question) So are you sure those women and others are serving God conditionally that’s why they haven’t received their miracle ?You’re immature 😂😂😂God is deep. But clearly you haven’t answered my question. Familiarity ?Do you know pastors go to meet another pastors for prayers ![]() They are not yet there. So only you and Dtruthspeaker with those in the Bible are there. You have more anointing than those seeking for help. Even the pastors 👏 You don’t have any reply and if I drop the next question, you’ll still jump the goalposts. |
| Re: When Faith Meets Reality: Does God Always Answer Prayers? by Nobody: 5:12pm On Nov 13, 2025 |
FxMasterz:Okay what about synagogues and christ embassy ![]() You didn’t reply any of my questions so you can allow someone else with more clarity write cos you’ve clearly diverted the topic to where I can’t even understand. You’re just trying to confuse me more. Let’s imagine I’m trying to convert, this is how you’ll win souls for Christ? You’re clearly doing a bad job. Even Dtruthspeaker.

SpencerForbes:Ask your questions properly. I didn't see any of the questions you are now claiming you asked in any of your previous posts. I don't know what you mean by your big momma or any of the questions you asked. Ask properly, okay? Yes, those who go about seeking prayers are not yet there. I too was once like that until I grew in the spirit. That's the beginning stage for everyone. But no one is expected to remain permanently at such stage. If I attend a program, I attend it to refresh myself with God. Not to seek miracles. That's why I'm asking you who told you that all those in redemption camps, Shiloh, etc are looking for miracles? |
| Re: When Faith Meets Reality: Does God Always Answer Prayers? by FxMasterz: 5:19pm On Nov 13, 2025 |
SpencerForbes:I have already told you that not everyone in those places are seeking for miracles. If you have a close relationship with God, you won't go about seeking prayers because you'll pray and God will reveal things to you and commune with you. What new thing will anyone tell you or do for you? Tell me. |
| Re: When Faith Meets Reality: Does God Always Answer Prayers? by Nobody: 5:19pm On Nov 13, 2025 |
FxMasterz:Lolz 😂 clearly you jumped into the thread without reading the post. I need a clear answer and not answers that’s clearly unrelated. Does God answer prayer and if he does, does he have a particular kind of prayer he answers or are there formulas to answered prayer. Lobatan ![]() Now if I should follow your reply. If the people doesn’t have the anointing, does that mean the pastors too doesn’t have the anointing or fellowship enough to beg God to answer their prayer ![]() I’ve gone to MFM headquarters, Shiloh, synagogue and I’ve seen lots of people come and go the same way. Why didn’t God answer their prayers because of the anointing ![]() |

SpencerForbes:"A wicked and adulterous generation keeps seeking a sign, but no sign will be given it except the sign of Joʹnah.” Matthew 16:4 So they are a wicked and adulterous generation deceiving themselves when true Christians comes around to tell them the truth they will insult and label us as evildoers. God will not change His program due to the wrong expectations of unbelievers claiming Christians. The only reason why God performs miracles is to impress in the in minds of His worshipers the hope of things to come but as for people of the nations it's what faithful Israelites says that we must believe not expecting God to perform it in our eyes! Zechariah 8:23 |

SpencerForbes:And did you not hear that scammers are successful because people love lies instead of Truth? SpencerForbes:Did the captain not know where he is going before he left his house? Clearly if a captain has been sailing since and has not arrived at his destination then clearly many things are wrong and he does not know the way. SpencerForbes:Tu Quoque Fallacy |

SpencerForbes:I think you will have to go back and read me again from the beginning with no biases. Now, you've been to MFM and seen people go back without answers. What about the many that you saw testifying of answers? Now, whose anointing did it for them? This shows not all prayers go unanswered. People can come to a prayer ground and go without answers for many reasons. I'll mention a few. 1. Unbelief. It takes faith to be able to connect to the supernatural atmosphere around them. That atmosphere has all they need but they cannot connect to it without faith. That's why Jesus says "Be it unto you ACCORDING TO YOUR FAITH." 2. Wickedness of Past Generations. If the problems the person brought to the prayer ground are a punishment for some wickedness found in his generation, the problems cannot leave until justice is served. So many people have very grievous wickedness committed by their forbears. Some pounded babies alive in wooden mortars. Some snatched people's wives and killed the husbands. Some snatched people's lands and killed the owners. Some buried pregnant women alive. Some offered whole human beings as sacrifice. Some even killed men of God for preaching to them. So many more. All these forms of wickedness attract Devine judgements and the claims of justice is always generational especially if the children continue in wickedness and sins over several generations. Demons have a legal right to torment those sets of people and introduce serious problems in their lives such as sudden deaths, terminal diseases, lack of marriages, etc. Especially if the wickedness is committed against a man of God, that family may suffer long and may find it difficult to be delivered. The only solution is to confess that sin. And ask forgiveness directly. But if you don't know the sin that was commited, you will need revelations to handle the issues of your life. Most times these sets of people go to prayer grounds and come back without answers. If the issue is an issue of judgement, there can be no solution until the claims of justice have been met. Victims need revelations and mercy to have their issues solved. There are many other reasons apart from the above. Some even have to do with the conditions of the heart. Some have to do with timing. Many have to do with faulty foundations. You cannot just simply ask for solutions when you're serving a Devine sentence. You need mercy, revelations and forgiveness. |

SpencerForbes:See, your story here proves that God does not like women and yet you go bonkers when I point out the why. Anyway, i understand |
