prayer works

[swartkrans]

I know most of you arent saved but God still listens to all prayer so maybe it does some help. Recently I received a business proposal from a man in the Arab Emirates for a large sum of money involving an Egyptian man who died in a plane crash. I'm to help move this money to help the mans remaining family. I told people at work about this but they laugh at me and say its a kenyan thing but it's not kenyan since its Egypt!! and anyway they sent me a check already! I deposited a large amount ( but only small portion of the entire money in question ) to my bank account and then transfer most to another account but I get to keep a portion!! I have really needed this money and god listened to my prayer since ive been on hard times. I expect another check soon but this was two weeks ago since the last one and have not heard back from them since I sent the transfer. Prayer works! Keep praying.

Have you thought about praying for a brain?

I Timothy 6:

9But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.
10For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
11But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.

It saddens me that you would even joke about stealing money from a dead man, especially in regards to prayer.

Be careful what you pray for. Pray does indeed work, but if you pray out of greed or lust, then your answer may not be exactly what you had hoped for.

I don't think that's true, David. The Bible tells us that, if we have faith, God will grant whatever we ask for in prayer, without exception:

And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him. 1 John 5:14-15

For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. Mark 11:23-24

If anyone tells you that God denies some requests, then it's a sure sign that person doesn't have sufficient faith in the Lord.

I can't think of a request I ever made in prayer that God did not grant, and I've asked for some real whoppers. Remember the tsunami of 2004? Well, I was surfing that day, but the ocean was calm, and I really wanted some bigger waves to ride. Not only did God grant my wish, but he also wiped out hundreds of thousands of heathens at the same time, so it was a total win-win proposition.

How's that not racist? You know Christ loves all people even they're not all saved. In any case I don't know what you mean by "great" deal but I already have money in the bank and spent it, it was a "real" deal". I paid of some debt, I dont know if god answers all prayers the way we want but this one was answered. He helps us out sometimes.

So when Christ throws the unsaved into Hell for all eternity, he loves them?

You're a Reverenced and you don't this? John 3:16? He did that for everyone? Does a father not love all his children?

I'm sure this post will result in another pop up I can't open. I don't know what they are but I guess they're bad. Anyway, trying to bheahave here and not cause problems but it's so hard.

Jesus DID NOT die for everyone

He died for those that BELIEVE.

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, THAT WHOSOEVER BELIEVETH IN HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH, but have everlasting life." --John 3:16

Everyone doesn't believe in Jesus, thus they will perish.

Jesus does not love unrepentant sinners. Try actually reading the Bible instead of guessing what it says. Cover to cover this time.
