AH
Well kid now I see wjhat your problem is ...
all that stuff you listed in #331..
God is not an errand boy...
He is not your servant...
You dont whistle at Him and say “C’mon here boy” as though He’s a page boy...
and then keep Him waiting (at attention no doubt) till you get all spiritual and in the mood...
If I had ever done that to God, I imagine He would have yawned and gone off home before I got finished with the “concentrate, REAL HARD....... “
When I pray for a need for others they need a fast answer...
God hears fast from Heaven,
returns the answer fast ...
You want a fast answer you better have a fast way of asking and believing...
You’ll die of cancer your way...
Now its when you dont want something but to love on God that you take your time...
You can be lying in bed,
driving your car
changing the baby
digging in your garden
if you ever just raise your voice and/or hands toward Heaven and praise Him and thank Him for just being who He is and not demanding anything..
and live a life of that...
You wont have to get into contortions everytime you WANT something from God who you dont seem to know that well...
BTW its my neighbors of 20 years you need to be asking...
I think Christians from the church just might already have read your comments...
My neighbors will tell you Im bold as a lion asd I sing praises to God in my backyard, my vegetables and roses raising their little heads and hands to God and growing wonderfully...
My friends at church will tell you Im just the same as I am here...
and you can blame my fearless Bible believing pastor..hed like that :)
Now you attempt to school me on prayer, what God is or isn't and once again, call me an AH? Let's see.....who's the 'Holier than thou, condescending Christian, again?
