The saints are with me in my closet. They should be in yours, too, if you want your prayer to be effective.

....”The saints are with me in my closet. They should be in yours, too, if you want your prayer to be effective”...

There are hundreds of prayers and passages about prayer in scripture, and NONE of them instruct prayers to the departed. The scriptures forbid attempting to contact them.....

.....there is not one verse of the scripture in the New Testament anywhere which authorized anybody to intercede with God after death.

The bible is specific that speaking to those who have departed the earth is forbidden...period. (Deut.18)

Whatever is in your closet ain’t saints. Or any other dead person.

It’s demonic which is especially easy to detect as it takes the focus off Jesus, whom we are to look to as the Author and Perfecter of our faith.
