Greetings Radioman2! I would agree that prayer does not change God's nature. However, there are cases in the Bible where prayer changed God's plans. Consider Nineveh! John 3:4 tells us of God's plan for Niveveh - 'Forty more days and Niveveh will be overturned'. The people heard the message, repented, and prayed to God. John 3:10 tells us that God responded to their repentance by not doing what He had said He was going to do. Now, what would have happended had the citizens of Niveveh not prayed? According to the Lord's message, they would have been destroyed. So, even though God's nature is immutable, His interaction with us is not. In the Old Testament, animal sacrifices were made. Now, they aren't because Christ is our sacrifice. That is a change in relationship. In the Old Testament, the Holy Spirit came upon people for certain tasks at certain time, but now He dwells within His people. That is a change in relationship. But, I would agree that prayer does not change God. It certainly changes us, and it can change circumstances as well. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
