Pastor Vlad I have been beating myself up for months because I haven’t gotten on my knees to pray and worship my Father. Last night I did and the arthritis takes my heart off of the Lord and onto it. I can’t stay long so I was feeling like a failure at my worship and loving on my Father and showing Him respect and thankfulness, reverence. It was starting to take over my prayers. God our precious Father is so awesome and amazes me daily. When I listened to this I knew exactly it was Him telling me it doesn’t matter how my body is positioned when I pray. It matters where my heart is positioned. I pray every night before sleep. I pray when I wake up through the night. I pray before I open my eyes in the morning and from the time I stand up till I go to bed I’m praying. I don’t know if praying is the same as talking to Him about everything, but I know I can’t go a few minutes without loving on Him or asking Him what He wants in me doing this or that. He lives in me so I talk to Him all day and night. I can’t imagine not talking to Him always. Ty for this message and for all your messages. They help in so many ways. ❤

Huh? Are you sure Vlad has the authority? Does Vlad have the authority to turn the bread into our Lord's flesh?

[@lifethroughromans8295]

​@@thorvilkwilliams9596- The bread doesn't turn into the Lord's flesh when you eat in from your church or any church on Earth. Please use your Lord-given intelligence. The Lord's flesh has been with him since the day he bodily resurrected and is still with him in heaven. So, how does the bread transform into the Lord's flesh when his human flesh is with him since the day he resurrected from the Earth? In short, accepting the flesh of Jesus Christ simply means that you accept Christ's body was broken for you. If you still can't understand this simple truth, go to a doctor and scan your stomach after you have had the bread and wine from your church. You won't find anyone's flesh and blood in there, but the bread and wine you ate and drank as it is.

God is our true Creator, He created all the things we know in the present and He still creates wonders in the present, He who watches us from above, He who is the Only One who can save us from the pits of hell will remain in us and will love even the evil ones that are cussing His Perfect Being, because there is time to change our paths and He loves us because we have the power in us we need to bow before Him before it is too late for us He is Jesus Christ who will risks all the other sheeps only to save one and will go throughout every single place to find the lost one, even in the darkest of places because He knows that God is with Him and when God is with Him Our Savior can do unimaginable things and impossible things are as easy to overcome for Him as breathing air, because Our Savior is with Our Father that is in the Heavens So this is the time to change, if we don't take action in the present, our future is doomed and there is always time to change until there isn't and that my friend, brother, stranger, whatever you want me to call you will be your last time on this planet we call Earth, who was created by the Only God we need to trust and who we need to love with all of our heart, soul, mind, and strength remember to turn to Him and to be with Him because i was evil in the past and did sin all day, my punishment for that was my anger, not controlling my actions and after Jesus Christ opened my eyes I started to see the truth, I was reborned, feeling more greater than ever before cause I could feel the Holy Spirit entering in me at that point, all the earthly things were pointless at the time when Jesus Christ was with me and guided me to the immortality that is in the Heavens. So repent, repent that your sins may be forgiven because God forgives all if we speak with Him, not to Him, to forgive us because we are nothing in the face of our God and we are nothing withouth Our Lord, in the name of Jesus Christ i will pray for you because He can do wonders, He can do the impossible and only He, remember that Only He can show us the way, can exterminate our temptations and deliver us from evil : for thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever.

I am convinced that Mary prayed for me when I asked and was key to helping save my marriage. As I sat in Mary’s chapel in Westminster Cathedral I prayed that she would help my wife and my children. At that moment the clouds must have passed long enough to allow a stream of beautiful sunlight come in the window, quickly followed by the sounds of children playing from a nearby school I was not aware of beforehand. She listened that day I am sure of it. Thank Mary for helping my family, and thank you God the Father, the Son Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit for being patient with me as I fought off temptations and for turning my heart of stone to a heart of flesh 🙏 I pray to Mary and the Saints not to idolise them but to request their help in praying for those in my life.

Thank you for educating us how to pray. ❤❤❤❤

We Catholics most often ask Mary and the saints TO INTERCEDE THEIR FOR US TO GOD. NEWSFLASH!

[@koolumanionwumere1782]

When you pray to Mary, you are in violation of the scriptures. In 1 Timothy 2 : 5 , the scripture says, " There is one God and one MEDIATOR between God and mankind the man Christ Jesus , who gave himself for us. It's idolatrous when catholics referred to Mary as mediator. Besides, the so-called 'queen of heaven', Catholicism designated to Mary is a surreptitious introduction of an ancient Babylonian goddess that YAHWEH warned the Israelites against in (Jeremiah 7: 14-18).

[@amorpoetry1569]

​@@koolumanionwumere1782 I think you did not understand. The Catholics do not pray to Mary. They pray to the Holy Trinity.

[@zacharyayaga6661]

​@@amorpoetry1569 that's what you think but deep within the catholic theology, mary is more venerated. In fact mary takes the place of Jesus according to the catholic church. They call her Mary the mediatrix. Get a catholic catechism book and enlighten yourself before you come to their defense.

[@zacharyayaga6661]

If that is the case then you need to stop that with immediate effect. KJV Romans 8:34 34 Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us. Get yourself right with the scriptures and not what you're told by your priests

God gave us Mary as our Mother not as Her being God because she is not but as Her being our Mother then because we are Her children She will go to Jesus Her Son and request from to Him that He answer our prayers Jesus not ignore His own Mother when she make a request She loves us so much and wants our prayers to be heard and answered it doesn't mean we shouldn't go directly to God but when someone who loves us and wants to help you so then why not ask for her intercession

Good information to know Pastor Von. I love it. Amen, and I agree 100%. We don’t play pray to Saints, because they’re dead. We don’t pray to Mary, because she’s dead. We don’t pray the universe because that’s just matter, solid liquids, and gas. But Jesus Christ is alive, And supernatural, and he’s the only one that we have to pray too! I feel bad for the new age community. They think that they’re fake, knock off spiritual practices are the only thing they have, when in reality they have something much better, and that’s Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit! And God. Three and one. And I think God for people like you who are spreading the gospel to those who need the most. Thank you for sharing, God bless your ministry. God bless you, glory, God. Keep sharing for God‘s glory in Jesus name,

[@flor-de-bayahibe]

So my question is you don’t believe that Jesus gives us life, everlasting ? Those that believe in him, and follow his ways, and obedient to him, Especially those that are chosen will live forever in heaven . When we die, our bodies are dead, of course, but our spirit lives on

‭1 Timothy 2:1 "First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people,"

[@doubleedgedsword8124]

@@iloveGod-o2p thank you. My understanding is the word “Pray” traditionally has always meant “to ask”. So in that sense there’s nothing wrong with asking someone on earth “to ask or petition” God on your behalf. But why would it be wrong to ask someone in heaven to do the same? Full disclosure I’m coming from a Catholic perspective but always open to understanding other perspectives?

[@iloveGod-o2p]

@@doubleedgedsword8124 thank you for mentioning what you meant and the reason why we should not pray to or for somebody who is in heaven is because there bodies are not living- Luke 20:38 [38]Now he is not the God of the dead but of the living: for all men are living to him. So you can't pray to a dead person because they themselves or waiting for the return of jesus

WALK & PRAY

[@sandstorm7768]

Not to start a fight, but prayers to Mary and the saints started very early on in church history. It's not written tradition, but it is oral tradition.

[@AA-em6fo]

But why would you pray to Mary or saints if you can pray directly to God? Plus the Saints and Mary can’t hear our prayers.

[@BenchwarmerGaming08]

Not to start a fight, but no not really. Sure, I’m the grand scheme of things it started ‘early’. But in reality, the oldest references to praying to the dead for intercession only date to the 3rd Century. Meaning we have at least a 167 Year gap. Meaning we can say fairly certainly that it wasn’t taught by the apostles or the early church fathers. If it was, we would Likely have older references than the 3rd century. (As far as I understand it) it’s believed that prayers to the saints originated from a branch of Judaism that believed the angles could pray for humans). Now I believe that Praying to the saints is heretical, If not demonic in nature. God forbid the communication to the dead. We, as living humans were not to ‘summon’ or talk to the dead. There wasn’t a ‘heaven’ or ‘hell’ principle placed on this either. The book of Samuel even records an instance of a Seer summoning the spirit of Samuel for king Saul. It’s regarded as an evil act, even though Samuel was obviously saved. (I don’t mean in heaven as obviously only the sacrifice of Jesus could Atone. For sin). Plus, on this note we have Paul’s statement “for we have one high priest and one mediator between man and God, The Lord Christ Jesus”. (I’ll admit I am quoting from memory, because I cannot for the life of me find the exact verse). I think it’s wrong to pray to saints, but in some sense, it’s more pointless. The saints are in heaven, they can’t hear us. But Jesus Christ can. We ask the saints for intercession when we have a direct line to the Father through The Holy Spirit and Christ.

[@BenchwarmerGaming08]

@@juanitaensign8100 look man, Mary isn’t your mother. She’s a lady, and that’s all. Yes she was blessed among women. But lifting her up to a divine level as the queen of heaven is Blasphemous at best. Your mother is the women who gave birth to you, and that wasn’t Mary. No hate, but it’s not a good thing to be wrapped up in.

We CAN pray to Mother Mary and the Saints, God himself told me that. Ask the Holy Spirit if you doubt. "Wherever there is Mary, there is God"

[@mariocarrion2022]

Very very wrong. The entity which 'spoke' to u was NOT the Holy Spirit. U should NOT pray unto Mary or any saint. A big NO NO. From now onwards, whatever u pray, pray unto GOD in JESUS' Name. U will be protected from deception.

@aarthidra Hail Mary full of grace THE LORD IS WITH THEE. Even though Jesus told Mary " it is not my time " .. He still ended up doing what Mary asked Him to do. Because of the " entity " I quit my full time job and became a minister. And this " entity " gives me revelations from the Bible. This " entity " has blessed me with the gift of tongues .

Please let me get this straight so u don’t let ignorance become so glaring. Catholics don’t pray to Mary nor saints, but ask them to pray with us & for us, much like anyone would ask their mother or siblings or friends to pray for them when in trouble. Don’t smugly belittle another out of ignorance

[@amorelove4727]

To pray actually means to talk to a person, to ask (God)😊.If you are talking to a person to ask something, YOU ARE PRAYING that person. There’s only JESUS CHRIST as Mediator Who died at the cross and resurt for your sins. He’s actually the only one Who did this for the humanity, nor Mary nor the saints, nor the angels. Give your life to Jesus Christ Who loves you and you’ll never regret it . He’s the only one that will judge the human

can a dead person praise God, or do anything for God?? that's not possible friend when we die only our works follows. Just pray to Jesus Christ directly, it's only Jesus is our key not those so called saints, their works follows them

[@AllNicTaken]

@@mwansarichard9619 dead ? Maybe when you die, you are dead. Those who are repentant will be saved & not dead, but living saints who pray for us when we ask them.

Hmmm, don't be fun bro, can you prove that from the Bible, where it is written that we're bound to ask the so called saints for forgiveness on our behalf. I would like to learn.

[@cosmicmoon6001]

I can’t understand. All of you who say Mary and all saints are dead, don’t believe in eternal life?

[@aarthidra]

U should understand that GOD commanded us to pray unto HIM ALONE, in the Mighty Name of Lord JESUS Christ. All the others whom u mentioned were mere human beings, created beings. Creations shouldn't be worshipped or prayed unto. Only our CREATOR is worthy of worship.

[@aarthidra]

And yes, definitely all the saints are in Paradise now, but still, they shouldn't be prayed unto, just because they are just created beings, whose souls belong to Almighty Father GOD.

[@cosmicmoon6001]

I understand that point. But the point Catholics/Orthodox say is that we pray for intercession of the saints and Mary, we ask their prayers as if we ask to our family members or friends to pray for us. And then I see people are just saying how can a dead pray for you , that’s the reason of my question. I see little bit hypocrisy on these answers. Anyway, any Christian we praise God and only God, being father son and Holy Spirit. But we know the power of prayers, also everyone is learning about it and I think everyone has very different experiences with what we can affirm the power of all prayers and the help when others pray for us.
