Power of prayer?

I believe wholeheartedly in the power of prayer, particularly when paired with meditation/contemplation. Prayer is us communicating with the divine - the divine will communicate back if we listen.

There is so much to the universe that is unseen, and this is where our prayers live. I do believe that prayer has the power to generate miracles. I have experienced this and I have witnessed this.

Wow, this is fascinating, please say more about being a Christian witch! I want more of you and less of the hate-filled “minister”/troll.

You could not possibly be more wrong. You have a really jaded, sad view of what you call God. Let me guess….evangelical? God, the collective, creative consciousness of all that is, was, and ever will be, hears ALL prayer. We are a part of that consciousness and despite what you have been brainwashed to believe, nothing can separate that. How do I know this to be true? I listen.

If you have an opinion about prayer, that’s valid. It’s a lie to YOU. It doesn’t make it a lie to everyone else in the world. 1.God didn’t kill those children, a deranged and evil man did. And despite the hating minister commenting above that they personally hate people and Christ hates people… only evil people do such evil things and God doesn’t hate anyone.

2. Prayer is not an online order like an Amazon order. You don’t add prayers to your cart and receive them within a set day or time. It’s not wishes or wants that God fills for you on demand, nor is prayer a goodie list like children leave for Santa and hope to find everything they asked for under the tree on Christmas morning.

1. Right -- God only does the good stuff. /S

2. Correct - sometimes your prayers are answered and sometimes they're not. Either way God decided whether or not you should get what you asked for /S

1. An actual real person bought a gun and shot the teachers and children, while trained law enforcement waited outside.

2. God is God. He never changes and never will. If you don’t want to believe in Him, and don’t want to be a Christian, that’s perfectly fine. However, don’t tell me how to worship or think about my religion. If you don’t believe in God, why does it bother you I do?

Also, if you have hate in your heart for anyone, you aren’t a minister.

My Masters and my ordination say otherwise. Also, Christ hated hypocrites.

Let me know what kind of minister you are and what church you represent. I would not want to attend a church that is guided by a person who hates other people and thinks God listens and considers the prayers of evil people that want to do evil or bad things. That’s a really bad combination I’d like to avoid.

I don’t think you’ll ever have to worry about that dear. And I’m out sick today, so you’re safe this week. 😂

This snark is really un-Christlike, unless you put yourself at the same level as Jesus in the temple. Agree, please do better. Unless you’re a troll, in fact I think I’ll ask the moderator.

Jeff can certainly confirm that I have posted many times as a minister and as a chaplain.

That hates some people for their religion, and believes Christ hates some people.

That’s not a minister that should be ministering to those in need.

DP. I reported you to Jeff as a potential troll and he left your posts up, so I suppose that’s correct. It’s very sad, though. Somebody who comes on an anonymous mom’s forum to bait other posters, tell them she hates them, and then mock them for responding doesn’t belong leading a church. It’s good to know you work in hospice care instead of leading a flock. I can only assume churches recognized your lack of love.

I didn’t say God didn’t hear the prayer, I said he will turn a deaf ear to the prayers of evil people or people who pray for bad things to happen. A bad person might pray for a bad thing, and God will not consider that evil person’s prayer.

If a person prays that they want someone they are mad at or dislike to die, God says ok, let me get right on that? It might make that happen for you?

What about Putin, who probably prays for victory in Ukraine? God hears him but doesn’t entertain that junk.

You could also say that Putin probably prays for his bombs to destroy buildings in Ukraine and thanks God every time he is successful.

2. God is indeed God. You can have him.

Shrug. Some things are objectively true. The “minister” signed her post with “/Minister who hates hypocritical, exclusionary “Christian’s’ (sic)”

shrug -- since when is the Minister who hates . . . someone that a true Christian would emulate?

DP. I don’t understand the personification of God here. What does it even mean to say that God “waited outside” or the He “decided” xyz. Those are things that people do. They aren’t things that God does.
