Dear Bandaid, There is no power inherently in prayer and fasting. Christianity isn't about making signs in the air, drawing pictures on the ground, lighting candles, reciting words, or other activities in order to effect change. Effecting supernatural changes by exercising natural behavior is what is called "magic." That is a practice of the heathen, one that Christians are explicitly told to avoid (Deuteronomy 18:10-14). You see, you have one false presupposition stacked on another. Until you clear away the junk at the foundations, you aren't going to get any kind of Biblically sound answer. In Him, Doc |

Not so Doc. Following Christs examples, Words, teachings and reasoning it is sound to believe that there is power in prayer...and fasting. Eph 6:12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. Eph 6:18-20 With all prayer and petition pray at all times in the Spirit, and with this in view, be on the alert with all perseverance and PETITION 1162 deêsis; from 1189a; a need, entreaty:--entreaties(2), petition(3), prayer(6), prayers(6), supplication(1). for all the saints, and pray on my behalf, that utterance may be given to me in the opening of my mouth, to make known with boldness the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in proclaiming it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak. God doesn't relate prayer to a pretty flower we pick, It is related as a powerful form of weaponry, armour, incense, petition along with the Word and the other forms of Godly armour. I'm not sure why you came up with those verses, that is referred to in psychology also as "magical thinking". As some of Christs followers made the mistake of trying to buy this power, it was condemned. Christianity isn't about making signs in the air nor is anything you mentioned. Neither is killing rams or bulls as sacrifices. Particularily what false presuppositions are you relating to? I don't see I have presupposed anything but in sharing ideas based on Gods Word. Maybe I won't get any biblically sound answers from you, but perhaps someone else has some ideas they want to share. I'm sure there is much much more to the bible then what you came up with. But thank you for your best shot at it. |

Okay, bandaid, I think we have heard about enough of your insults! Take this as fare warning, Lockman will not put up with that kind of verbal abuse! I don't know who you think you are young lady, but you have been given plenty of liberties in our sympathy to your predicament, but you have crossed the line one too many times and it's time to put it to bed! Cut out the verbal abuse or find another forum! John |
