…the worthless prayers of fake “people of faith” – “Fake Christians”
Oh how easily some say “that’s true” – what mere men may say, but so so flippantly put His Message down – what God Himself did say. False, fake and beguiled, they listen to some staged suit, up in lights, so convincing there on stage or internet, beguiling, handsome… but oh so wrong, oh so not what God already wrote so long ago for us to know for sure.
Fakers prefer the false: “wanting to have their ears tickled… they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires” (2 Timothy 4:3). The false is said so flashily, so new. They reject what, over time, God provided in His Word. How on earth!? …to accept as true the plainly phony fickle words of empty suits.
Unyielding willful soul, stubborn in your favorite sins, you make of yourself your own little god. Like the Roman guards at Jesus’ crucifixion you spit at Jesus (Mark 10:34), God over all. Like the second Thief on the Cross, you curse at Him (Luke 23:39-43). Oh how He loves you (John 3:16-17). Oh how He loves even me. Turn to Him; bare your soul; ask Him to reveal Himself to You through His Word. But be sincere. Speak truth.
If I regard iniquity [wickedness] in my heart,
the Lord will not hear me…
–Psalm 66:18 King James Version (KJV)
Don’t put up a false pretense, so you can glibly not commit to Him, false expectations of what your preconceived god, The Genie, must do to prove to YOU He is alive. God is no genie. He already proved He is God – enough for us to have faith in Him. So take Jesus at His Word. Don’t be satisfied within some phony, stupididiotic way you dreamed up for you to stay as god yourself.
Approach Creator God in honesty and seriousness. Admit you are lost and needing Him to rescue your sick damned soul. We all were some dumbass lamb astray. You are caught-up in a thicket of thorns. Only Jesus is The Good Shepherd (Psalm 23, John 10:11, John 10:14), and He wants to save you.
We are all born little knuckelheads! Remember that little kid who thought he knew everything? (I remember me! Is that kid still you?) Who do you think you are, my friend? You, you little knucklehead you – you really think you can out-think Almighty God of the Ages, Creator God who made all things, including your little head?
The New Covenant
It behooves us all to listen to His Message. With Jesus’ death, a new Covenant was established by God. We no longer make blood sacrifices on altars, which actually symbolically looked to the day of Jesus and His sacrifice as the Perfect Lamb of God.
His was a once-for-all sacrifice, sufficient in God’s Courts to forgive anyone, forever. We now can come to Him in simple prayer, in sincerity and truth, and find forgiveness by God. Or not.
You arose in power victorious, Lord,
now new precedent all set (Luke 22:20)
– in the Courts of Heaven You declare us
“free and clear” (Romans 8:1),
now not condemned,
now set free forever —
by the blood of Your perfect sacrifice
bled-out on behalf of all.
FOR MORE:
Prayer is effective when we come to God with sincerity and truth. Any other way? That’s worthless.
The one-off offer Jesus makes to everyone…a once-for-all sacrifice
The New Covenant did not abolish any previous convenants of God
Better is thinking with God’s Word
Accepting what God rejects…”Fake Christians”
Practicing Sin – Not Following Christ – 1 Peter 4:1-6
Your thinking or God’s Word…what I think
How much is enough?…How far from God’s values can I stray
Accepting all tht Jesus Christ is and does…about God, and what He has declared.
False prophets…staged suit
What false prophets are like…what mere men may say
The Gospel of Jesus Christ…His Message
How to study the Bible. Preface…what God already wrote so long ago
Lord, Father, I bow my heart before you
Distracting meaningless things Excerpt – Adapted: Experiencing a “normal” Christian life absolutely incorporates a constant habit of confession and submission to Christ.
It is not a difficult process to receive forgiveness from God. There is no austere courthouse, no lawyers involved, and the results are instantaneous. God is a spirit, and He hears our prayers, wherever we may be.
He promises that if we draw near to Him, He will draw near to us James 4:8.
Pray Biblically Excerpt: Sin affects answers to prayer, but God rewards those who seek Him with all their heart.
Praying for the world to get better? …ain’t happen’n folks! Excerpt:Wishin’ for a better world? Per Bible prophecies: The world is not going to get “better” over these next few years. Jesus will reign on earth and bring change for the world after “the end“. 1
Worthless Prayers?
