Prayer And Your Christian Life by MONEY247(op): 8:33am On Nov 23, 2025
As a Christian, prayer is a part of your DNA.
The book of Luke 18:1
" And he spake a parable unto them, to this end, that men always ought to pray and not faint "

That's the only way to communicate with God, and your father in heaven.
When you pray, you heart becomes the loudest in your Fibre means of communication. It speaks louder than your mouth.
Ever wondered why Jesus at tomb of Lazarus, and declared" father I thank you for answering me" He already made communication with his heart..

Types of prayer

Prayer of praise and worship
Prayer of supplication
Prayer of Thanksgiving
Prayer for forgiveness
Prayer for intervention
Prayer of rest...

Engage in pray today and practice continually, and God answers prayers

Christians do believe in prayer! Even Jesus while on earth prayed to God!

One of those days Jesus went out to a mountainside to pray, and spent the night praying to God. Luke 6:12

And some still call Jesus God! How many gods pray to another superior God? How can a God have another God?

Anyways prayer is key!

Praying without any results
Re: Prayer And Your Christian Life by Lawal1555: 9:47am On Nov 23, 2025
To what extent can prayer be effective independently, without being combined with human effort or practical action?

Pray for healing - still go to the hospital
Pray for success - still study or work
Pray for safety - still lock your doors

Prayers only bring false comfort, hope, clarity, or spiritual strength, but action is still needed for physical results.

Don’t forget that nonbelievers also enjoy good health, success, protection, and opportunities without offering any prayers. If people who do not pray still experience these benefits, then the role of prayer cannot be understood simply as a direct cause of material outcomes.

Prayer is just wishful thinking spoken out loud...I honestly can't remember the last time I did that rubbish.

Meanwhile can you tell us why you keep praying for your prophet long after he's dead
Did he do something so terrible that takes peace away from him even in death
Re: Prayer And Your Christian Life by Kukutente23: 1:47pm On Nov 23, 2025
America was founded on prayer
Same with great Britain
The great empires and civilisation of this world were founded on prayer and worship of the Supreme God
No endeavor of man gives success without prayers
Re: Prayer And Your Christian Life by nonny1212: 1:56pm On Nov 23, 2025
Let me teach you how to pray.

VERY EASY.

You see the way you talk to your biological father.
The way you also talk to him when you want to request something.. thats how you talk to God in prayer.

Call him Daddy, then.. continue.

Try this and see how lovely prayer is.
Re: Prayer And Your Christian Life by nonny1212: 2:32pm On Nov 23, 2025
Everyone saying prayer doesn't work simply do not know how..

You recite what you were programmed to say by your pastors.

Talk to God in prayer, like have a conversation with your father and see if he won't answer you.


Brotherly, I tell you, God answers prayer.


Cheatcode is, just like you chat with your biological father, chat with God too..

When Jesus was on earth was he still God or not? Then only the father was in heaven then! And Jesus a human was still praying to God, a superior being! It's still the same belief!

Meanwhile can you tell us why you keep praying for your prophet long after he's dead
We pray "for" him not "to" him! Learn your prepositions! Christians pray in Jesus's name! Jesus prayed to God! Moses as well as others prayed to God! I don't pray in anyone's name or to anyone. This is a lie created by you!

Did he do something so terrible that takes peace away from him even in death
To pray for him is a command and a means of getting rewards!

When Jesus was on earth, he was the Son of Man and not Son of God. So he was not God. But he retained in him the power and the glory of God being born of the Holy Spirit.

Always learn to read. Don't let your fingers be faster than your eyes or is it mind? I asked why you keep praying "for" Muhammad long after he's dead since you claim he was a sinless and perfect prophet. Is peace eluding him in death?
For if you have a problem with Jesus praying to God and now being equated to God, you should be able to explain why you're praying "for" a dead man whom you claimed to be perfect. Moreso you're praying for him to have peace!!

Do you know who the Grail Message says the Son of Man is?

Besides, this is just another excuse for the inexcusable doctrine of the Trinity, which can never be defended.

You should take this advice too. On many subjects you are ridiculously stubborn. You claimed that BH became militant during the time of GEJ. When shown to you that they became militant in the time of Yaradua, you could not even say, ooops, my bad. Pride. Lack of reading. Fingers faster than anything and ego of course is your problem.

I will not even go into the obvious issue that an African could be descended from a Mongolian. Or the fact that Yaradua is nowhere seen to have made allegations against Obasanjo (personally, not hearsay).

We all know the character of Moh. I keep trying to describe him but each time I do so, I am banned. His fault, not mine.

For if you have a problem with Jesus praying to God and now being equated to God[quote]+
No matter how you explain it, it can never make sense for God to be praying to God. Jesus is not God. He was a man like you and me.

Moh, wherever he is, cannot ever know peace.

This is just mere playing with words. He was son of man and not son of God! He was a man with a touch of divine; an hermaphroditic construct that does not exist except in theory created just for "Jesus"! We know God does not change! So God changing from God (Son of God) to Son of man is a fallacy even from the Biblical point of view!

I think i answered you pretty well! Sending him prayers is a command from Allah and a means for us to end rewards. We don't need God to come kill himself or his son to redeem us from our sins!

For if you have a problem with Jesus praying to God and now being equated to God, you should be able to explain why you're praying "for" a dead man whom you claimed to be perfect. Moreso you're praying for him to have peace!!
My problem is why an acclaimed God who you said became son of man spent his entire night praying to another God who is not himself! Don't you see a problem in this? There should be a time when the father too would pray to the son and the Spirit too would exchange roles!

Maybe, a time would come the spirit too would die for the sins of those in the Spirit kingdom!

If you do not understand the doctrine of Trinity, seek knowledge. Do not be like the islamists who glory in their ignorance while worshipping an Allah they do not even know.
I don't know who the grail message says the son of Man is. I've never studied it. I only know of its existence

Quit the tears though. I think I have given you enough evidence in each circumstance to buttress my point while you assume a posture of an unquestionable authority whose words should be law

Moh be flawed us an historical fact. A fact intentionally ignored by his followers who keep praying for him to have peace. Yet they insist he's the most perfect man!!

It says the Son of Man is the writer of the Grail Message, Abd Ru Shin. (Oskar Karl Bernhardt). And that he, along with the Father and Jesus (the Son of God), is the third member of the Trinity.

Regardless of this obvious lie, it is a work you should read. It will enlighten you greatly.

Moh is not just flawed. Saying that he is flawed is saying that he was a good man with normal flaws.

No. He was a fundamentally evil man.

First of all I don't know the "we" you're referring to are because i know there's nowhere in your quran that says God does not change. If you have it, bring it
Only the bible says God does not change in Malachi. Are you a bible believer now?

What I meant is that Jesus while on earth was the Son of Man. It does not mean he stopped being the son of God but this time, he took on the attribute of a man. If you say Jesus being the son of God yet coming as a man only exists in theory, can you show us any practical experience of the existence of Allah? Because even Muhammad never met or heard from Allah directly. He only believed in theory that Allah exists. So how do you find fault in theoretical facts now?

Jesus in the divine order is the son of God. Even your quran says he was born of the spirit of God. While in heaven, he prayed to God. How much more while on earth? He is one with the father because God exalted him to be one with him. It is not a convoluted role as you think it. Jesus is God because he carries the power and the authority of God not because he is God himself.

If you make a mockery of the concept of one dying for the sins of another, can you explain why a man must die for his sins in Islam? What justification do you have for killing a man who blasphemes? Do you kill him to save his soul or you kill him to damn him eternally?

The mental gymnastics made to justify the abominable idea that a Jewish man is God.

Is he not also God himself according to you?

And wait, are you not also a Son of God?

Even the bible calls Lucifer a Son of God as well.

While in heaven, he prayed to God.

Right. So God was praying to himself in heaven. Got it.

Jesus is God because he carries the power and the authority of God not because he is God himself.

Leave Islam. The bible itself says whatever a man sows the same shall he reap. In Divine Justice, it is absurd to say that one person is punished for the sins of another.
