Bible Question (short): What is prayer, Where does it come from? |
Question (full): Thank You Everybody ahead of time for helping me with this I got a letter from my sister. From what she wrote I could see that she is very confused and "Totally" on the wrong path. I wrote back and told her. Jusus "LETS" me help Him, one thing He told me I should do is....When I see someome I know is acting wrong or thinking wrong ..I should tell them they are wrong and tell them the right way...I am not supposed to try to embarrass them or shame them or stuff like that.. only say whats right,, and then if they want to know more.. I can tell them more about God and stuff.. but never try to push religion on them... only if its thies choice to know more I can go on.. and not to judge them......So anyhow... since I read about how lost my sister is. (by the way, my sis wrote that old myth "I've been good all my life,...blah..blah..blah) ..... So I told her she had alot of stuff wrong and I would try to explain stuff to her,, and I wouldn't make stuff up.. or tell her what "I" thought.. Only give her answers out of the Bible... and if I didn't know, I would find out... BUT only if she asks me to..(I said to her) In other words.. You have to ask me to help you..I wont write more about this unles you write me back and ask me to help you.........She wrote back and asked me...I got back a really long letter with so many questions and reason that were wrong.. she has been told so mant LIES.....I need help with this and it will take quite a long time ..I am not going to rush through or skip anything. My sister is reaching out. Here are my sistere EXACT words.....Prayer can come from praying to God and it can come from an energy source in your head....(THAT'S HER FIRST SENTENCE) Remember: I told her, I would not rush through or jump around...I want to answer her whole letter but I could not get past the first word...(PRAYER)..I wrote back and asked her...First of all..Please explain to me what you think prayer is.....I hope you all, out there, will help me along with this.. I really dont know any chapter and verse... I know Jesus though,,, and I know He is letting me Help my sister....As for advice for me to write her.. I will need the scripture and ALSO the now day words of what it means. so I can put it in wouds I can relate to her.....This is going to take awhile,, because i will have many questions myself....P.S. For anybody who writes back....as I said...I don't know much, but I know the truth when I hear it and I know a lie when I hear one too ..Thank You |
