Hi, Searcher, this is Hanker :-) And Hanker agrees with you about "repeating" Jabez's prayer (or any other prayer) as if it were a mantra repeated by a Hindu while in a full Lotus position! "Saying" or "repeating" words in mindless fashion in order to achieve some mysterious "effect" is not the scriptural definition of prayer at all. Jesus clearly condemned the pious Jews who made a ritual of prayer and did it for show. I read a message to the prospective reader of the little book, "The Prayer of Jabez" (whether on the dust-jacket blurb or in a review I can't recall) that said, "Repeat the prayer of Jabez every day for 30 days and see what happens." That alone was enough to convince me that I would not buy the book. It sounded like something one would expect to find in an advertisement for Rogaine or a 'miracle cure' food supplement. --Hank | ||||||

Well, you know how it is, Ed. Things of this world are temporal. Hair today, gone tomorrow! And for all I know, Jabez may have been as bald as a peeled onion. --Hank | ||||||

Acts 10:44 Thanks for the comments on the Jabez prayer. I too have not found a faith healer who specializes in curing baldness-perhaps it is more difficult than raising the dead. My hair is not restored and I am not even sure if it will be in the resurrection. I must rely on intellegence to impress my wife-so could you pass some along. However, I will be pleased if anyone can comment on faith making "rhema" or "logos" effective or discuss any of the other points I made in my comments. Good talking to you guys! |

The "healers" also never seem to heal vision problems ... my eyes are on heaven. | ||||||
