Prayer

I would like to speak about, how Prayer is becoming little or nothing, or fake and faulty.
Today among the so-called believers and among the believers that don't practice but pray. Prayer is becoming ritualistic, and not spontaneous's. Sort of like the Muslims of today who bow  toward Mecca at specific times daily in certain places. Prayers are becoming long filled with verbiage. People are thinking who ever says the longest prayer will be heard readily by God more oftenAnd the more well-versed the better. Also there are repetitious words and phrases.We  remember reading about this in first king chapter 18 for example,  O Baal,hear us! O Baal,hear us!!'And as this is what was happening in the first century the tendency crept into the synagogue .The same for today as it is creeping into all churches, temples storefront prayer houses .prayer is leading to an almost toxic kinship with words  as they engage in this long  practice,it falls under a bunch of meaningless  words repeated over and over and over again repetitious. Praying has also became the cause of pride  rather  than the humble expressions of one in need.  It has become legalistic "a status symbol" to pray well .The religious system, when followed to the letter, is becoming an ostentatious public display with  hands outstretched, Palms up out on a public street corner!' It's any wonder prayer is losing its value?   It is becoming a D generated insignificant  routine marked by  overt  hypocrisy and meaningless terms, mixed with a judgmental spirit, prayer is on the downslope .High expectations are becoming impossible for the common person to achieve resulted in the entire  act become a fleshly display proudly preformed by the religious Superman or hot shots of today.This explains why our Lord  took them to task in his  immortal sermom, it also helps us understand why he says what he does about  prayer and other religious attitudes in Matthew  chapter 6.  Thank you hope to hear from you soon. Get closer to God with one verse a Day and Jesus will make that Way..Yes.

I am the way.

As a Christian, there is only one foundation upon which you can build, and that foundation is Jesus Christ himself. All other foundations that you try to build on or stand strong are just sinking sand. They cannot stand up against the storms of life. No person no matter believer or nonbeliever can lay any other foundation that will last. Any and all other foundations will crumble and be destroyed forever. What does it mean to say that Christ is the only foundation?It means that Christ himself, his person, is the only foundation upon which man can build their lives.

Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the father, but by me, John. 14:6. Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. Acts 4:12.

Now, that means that teaching or doctrine of Christ is the only foundation upon which man can build their lives.
I would like to finish with Matthew. 7:24. Whosoever hears these sayings of mine,
and doeth them,.. I will liken him onto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock..

 Feel free to leave any comments good or bad, if I can be of any help, ask and I will try my best. if it is something in Scripture. I will try my best to find out what it is for you, the truth and nothing less . any prayer requests. Please leave any and all they will be prayed over. until next time. And remember, Jesus loves you.
