1 | Did Jesus suffer in hell when he died? | Luke 23:46 | Ken John | 65641 | ||
Thank you for your comments on prayer. As one grows in Christ our prayer life becomes so much more important and we need to take time to pray. Some days I find I am "dry" and struggle to pray. However on other days I have so much and can pray for much longer. Do you have this experience ? I am interested in the pray life of other believers ? Yours in Crist, Ken |

2 | Did Jesus suffer in hell when he died? | Luke 23:46 | gracefull | 66055 | ||
Hi Ken, Sorry for taking so long to respond. Yes..there have been 'dry'. These to me are times when the emotions do not register the Holy Spirit's presence, but as I have grown in faith in my relationship those times are rare now. I am aware of the Holy Spirit's presence constantly now. My prayer life has changed a lot also in that I go to the Father less and less asking for provision (family, finance, health etc.) but spend a lot more time praising Him for the provision Jesus provided already. God bless. |

Thanks for your response. I agree that one's prayer life matures as one grows in Christ. When praying in private I feel closer to God than when praying during our Church Prayer Meetings. Is it the presence of others that I am conscious of or is it that one is feeling forced to pray ? Or maybe there is another reason. Jesus did tell us that when two or more are together in prayer there He is also. Do you feel His Presence then ? | ||||||
4 | Did Jesus suffer in hell when he died? | Luke 23:46 | gracefull | 66177 | ||
Good morning! Let's look at it this way...Are you married? Consider that we are married to the Holy Spirit and those intimate times we can let our hairdown, we can share those thoughts and feelings we can't share with others. We can cry, we can become vulnerable..here we are open and uninhibited by the restrictions of 'corporate'prayer. When I was a new born believer, corporate prayer seemed hard to me. I did not feel like I was part of it but merely an observer. I would try to join but my faith was not developed enough to pray boldly and confidently with others. I personally was shy and self concious that I would 'pray wrong'. And yes there were times when I knew I was not in the right spirit and chose not to pray. But you must search inward with those questions, and repent if it is rebellion. Yes, I recognize (inward witness, not feeling) His presence all the time now and pray with boldness and confidence that he hears me. I feel His presence often. We are a vessel for Him to work and speak through and the less there is of me, the more there is of Him. I heard a sermon by Mark Chirona that really impressed my thinking and may help you understand. In the Song of Solomon the Shulamite begins by expressing My beloved is mine and I am His. She progresses to I am my beloved and he is mine. She ends with the love Christ has for us.. I AM BY BELOVED'S. When we get there our pride and fears vanish in light of the love of God. I hope this helps! |
