WE CANNOT BE PRAYING FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE YET TO ESTABLISH THEIR FAITH IN GOD
THE CALLED AND CHOSEN:
WE MUST FIRST IDENTIFY OUR INDIVIDUAL CALLING IN THE VINEYARD, BEFORE PREPARING OURSELVES FOR THE TASK AHEAD, SO THAT WE DON’T GET OURSELVES CONFUSED AND MISINTERPRET OUR CALLINGS.
THE CRUSADERS ARE NOT CALLED TO FORM PRAYER GROUPS, THEY WERE CALLED TO PREACH THE MESSAGE OF THE CROSS AND RESCUE SOULS OUT OF THE JAW OF SATAN [HELL] AND TO ENLIGHTEN THE WORLD ABOUT THE CONSEQUENCE[S] OF LEAVING THIS WORLD WITHOUT ACCEPTING JESUS CHRIST AS LORD AND SAVIOR.
[MARK, 16:-15-16]
ON THE OTHER HAND, THE PRAYER WARRIORS, OR THE PRAYER GROUPS ARE MEANT FOR THE BELIEVERS WHO HAVE ALREADY ESTABLISHED THEIR FAITH IN GOD THROUGH CHRIST JESUS.
BUT SOMEWHERE ALONG THE LINE, WE GOT OUR INDIVIDUAL ASSIGNMENTS MIXED UP WITH SOMETHING ELSE WE ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO DO FOR SOME REASON.
DON’T GET THIS WRONG. THERE IS NOTHING BAD IN BEING A PRAYER WARRIOR IN A PRAYER GROUP.
THE POINT IS, THERE IS A HUGE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO.
IN TODAY’S CHRISTIANITY, THERE ARE MORE PRAYER GROUPS BOTH IN THE CHURCH AND ON THE SOCIAL MEDIA THAN CRUSADERS. [PREACHERS OF THE GOSPEL]
PEOPLE ARE NOT BEING ENCOURAGED TO LISTEN TO THE MESSAGE OF THE CROSS, AND THAT IS TOTALLY WRONG.
FIRST AND FOREMOST, WE HAVE TO ESTABLISH FAITH IN THE HEARTS OF OUR AUDIENCE BEFORE PRAYING FOR THEIR HEALING OR ALL OTHER THINGS.
WE CANNOT BE PRAYING FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE YET TO ESTABLISH THEIR FAITH IN GOD. [WHO DOESN’T BELIEVE IN GOD. MATTHEW,21:-22; JESUS PROCLAIMED, “AND WHATEVER YOU ASK IN PRAYER, YOU WILL RECEIVE IF YOU HAVE FAITH.” AT WHAT POINT DID WE GET IT WRONG?
WE CAN NOT START PRAYING FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE YET TO BELIEVE IN GOD SUCH PRAYERS CAN NOT BE ANSWERED.
EVEN CHRIST HIMSELF DOES NOT JUST PRAY FOR THE PEOPLE.
FIRST, HE PREACHED THE GOSPEL [THE KINGDOM OF GOD] BEFORE LAYING HIS HAND ON THEM
BUT IN TODAY’S CRUSADES PEOPLE ARE ASKED TO BRING THEIR DEAD FROM THE GRAVE, AND THEIR CRIPPLES FROM WHERE EVER THEY MIGHT BE, FOR HEALING
WITHOUT LAYING THE FOUNDATION OF FAITH IN THEIR HEARTS.
“WITHOUT FAITH, NO ONE CAN PLEASE GOD,” SAYS THE SCRIPTURE. [HEBREWS, 11:-6]
GOD WILL NOT HEAL SOMEONE WHO IS GOING TO GIVE HIS GLORY TO SATAN IN RETURN. [ISAIAH, 42:-8]
IN CONCLUSION: NOT AS IF THE WORD OF GOD HAS TAKEN NO EFFECT, IT IS BECAUSE THE WORD OF GOD HAS BEEN WRONGLY INTERPRETED, AND WRONGLY APPLIED.
WE ARE TO ESTABLISH FAITH BEFORE ASKING GOD FOR MIRACLES.
BEHOLD HIS HANDS ARE NOT SHORTENED, THAT HE CAN NOT SAVE, NEITHER ARE HIS EARS HEAVY THAT HE CAN NOT HEAR, BUT OUR PRIORITIES ARE WRONGLY SET.
