Why Should We Pray? Does God Listen to Our Prayer? 2. As a result, this kind of person can very quickly be made perfect by the Holy Spirit. As a believer in God, the more one prays, that is, the more one is moved by God, the more one will be filled with resolution and the better able one will be to receive new enlightenment from God. To be without prayer is to break off one’s relationship with God, and it would be impossible to win God’s praise. Without prayer, it would be impossible to lead a normal spiritual life, much less keep up with the work of the Holy Spirit. It can be said that those without prayer are dead people who are devoid of spirit, which proves that they lack the faculty to be moved by God. Prayer is one of the ways in which man cooperates with God, it is a means by which man calls upon God, and it is the process by which man is moved by God’s Spirit. Without prayer, you live in the flesh, in bondage to Satan without true prayer, you live under the influence of darkness.Įxcerpted from “Concerning the Practice of Prayer” If you truly see communion with God as something that is meaningful and valuable, then can you forsake prayer? No one can be without communion with God.
As such, what God wants to do can be achieved through humans.Įxcerpted from “‘Chapter 17’ of Interpretations of the Mysteries of God’s Words to the Entire Universe”Īs one who serves before God, you cannot be without prayer. Without Satan’s disruptions, all people’s lives are normal, and God then has the opportunity to work unhindered within them. So, if people continuously connect with God’s Spirit, Satan does not dare to come and cause disruptions. He simply gives them constant aid because of their cries, and from that internal strength people gain hardiness, so that Satan dares not come in to “play” at its will. Through mankind’s cries, God gives them what they need, but He does not at first “reside” within them. When people contact God with their hearts, Satan immediately panics and rushes to escape. When God is no longer in people’s spirits, there is an empty seat left for other things, and Satan thus seizes the opportunity to get in. 14 If you shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.Īfter God created mankind and granted them spirits, He enjoined them that if they did not call out to Him, then they would not be able to connect with His Spirit and, thus, the “satellite television” from heaven would be impossible to receive on earth. 7 Ask, and it shall be given you seek, and you shall find knock, and it shall be opened to you: 8 For every one that asks receives and he that seeks finds and to him that knocks it shall be opened.Īgain I say to you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.ġ3 And whatever you shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
