If God is Sovereign, Why Pray?: Prayer with R.C. Sproul

[@blakeclarkson9954]

Im gonna please ask that if anyone reads this that they will pray for me. My names is Blake. I have been suffering for some time now and very sick physically. I believe that God will heal me only if he wills and either way I will praise him and seek him no matter what he chooses! But i still would like to ask for your prayers.

[@faithafterdark7801]

This modern day prince of pastors fought the dark powers of Satan during the best years of his life. He could've spent his later life retired but he kept at it (like all the greats) and begged and pleaded for people to listen, always ready to teach people the way to Christ. I'm my opinion, he must have one special blessing walking amongst Christ right now. He's been up there for a couple years. The grandeur he must be experiencing is undoubtedly far beyond our wildest imaginations. What a dream it would be to someday accompany him with the great, all Supreme, Almighty God of our universe.

Who do you really follow? Scriptures tells us to follow the example of our Messiah: 1Pe 2:21 For to this you were called, because Messiah also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that you should follow His steps, Followers of Jesus, the Greek Messiah: Pagan Names For the Father and Son(Lord/Jesus); Sunday rest; Pagan feasts of Easter and Christmas; popes; nuns; holy water; sacraments; or any separation of Messiah’s body into a “priesthood” and “laity”; eat pork(unclean foods). (None found In the Scripture) Followers of Yahusha, the Hebrew Messiah: Call the Father a Son by the Sacred Name Yahuah and Yahusha; 7th day Sabbath rest; Keep the Torah and Scriptural feasts of Lev 23; eat Kosher; circumcised and wear Tzitzits. (all found in the Scripture) Do you follow the belief ABOUT the Messiah or OF the Messiah? In other words, if you follow Jesus, you received the one who came in his own name: Joh 5:43 “I have come in My Father’s Name and you do not receive Me, if another comes in his own name, him you would receive. But if you Follow Messiah Yahusha, you will love Him and guard His Commands: Joh 14:15 “If you love Me, you shall guard My commands. You are of the one you obey: Rom 6:16 Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves servants for obedience, you are servants of the one whom you obey, whether of sin to death, or of obedience to righteousness? The error of the Christian church who believes they are the new chosen and replaced the Jews/Yahudim, here is our Father's answer to that: Rev 2:9 “I know your works, and pressure, and poverty - yet you are rich - and the blasphemy of those who say they are Yahuḏim and are not, but are a congregation of Satan.

[@jacobtack2258]

@@tongakhan230 You are right, let's have a look at some of those twisted things. We must use Scripture as guide right? And Scripture says we must follow the example of our Messiah: 1Pe 2:21 For to this you were called, because Messiah also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that you should follow His steps, Our Messiah Yahusha said we will be known by our fruits: Mat 7:20 “So then, by their fruits you shall know them - To find the twisted teachings, find the fruits. Let us look at the fruits of those who follow Jesus, the messiah of the church and Christianity. They call the Father and Son by the pagan names lord and Jesus. They rest on the Sunday, the day of the sun worshippers. They celebrate the pagan feasts of Christmas and Easter. They eat unclean foods and are uncircumcised. The Hebrew Messiah if the Bible did none of these above. So what does the fruit of the followers of the Real Hebrew Messiah look like: They obey the Torah/Law of YAhuah. They call the Father Yahuah and His Son Yahusha, by their Sacred Hebrew Names. They rest on the 7th day Sabbath. They celebrate the Scriptural feasts of Lev 23. They eat kosher, are circumcised and wears tzitzits. All Scriptural fruits from the followers of Yahusha. I suggest you adhere to your own advice, because if you intend spending eternity with Yahusha and Yahuah. Here is the Scriptural advice for it: Mat 19:16 And see, one came and said to Him, “Good Teacher, what good shall I do to have everlasting life?” Mat 19:17 And He said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good except One - Elohim. But if you wish to enter into life, guard the commands.” And if you love Him you would anyway: Joh 14:15 “If you love Me, you shall guard My commands.

I raised up 4 truly beautiful boys to men. They were my life and I adored each one. While still young " 24" my 3rd born son Timothy fell 80 feet from a tree. Devastated I turned to God for help, for peace. Six weeks later my 2nd son, Matthew, who was very close to Timothy, took his life with a gun to his beautiful sweet head. I so needed God with me. Now, years later, my youngest son Dane, whom I have been especially close to, got sick and is now gone from me. My heart is so sick, so broken. I very much need peace in my soul. I pray for this all the time and I'm would ask if so inclined you would pray for me and my oldest son Luke. I would ask for some true peace in my heart and soul. Gods blessings and thank you.

[@faithafterdark7801]

When I think of a magnificent and powerful preacher like RC, I think to myself.... he has been with the Lord Almighty Himself, for a few years now. For more than 900 days he has gotten to experience the sound of trumpets, the bright light of glory, the paradise he always taught of but never got to see until his grand entrance into his forever. Imagine what he's experiencing. I wonder if he is acquainted well with certain angels specifically, spending more time with some than others; what it looks like when he travels from one end to the other of heaven, and what Christ really looks like. Think of it! The Man we know as Savior, RC & the chosen who have gone before us, actually are IN THE PRESENCE OF this very moment. He can hear what Jesus' voice sounds like, and see the Great "I Am" every minute of forever. He doesn't even have day or night up there. I wonder if they sleep. I wonder if the sound of celestial music is the only sound, or what language they speak. Do they speak all languages now? Do they have breakfast? What do their teeth look like? What is it like to live absolutely perfectly and not even be faced with a single temptation in heaven? Not even feel a slight chill? Temperature always perfect, and I bet no snow. I wonder if Jesus walks over to His people or if they walk over to them, and if so, do they have to wait in line to speak to Him? Undoubtedly I'd think we would all swarm Him. I bet we would not have questions as to why certain things on this earth got so bad, because I don't know if He will give us all our memories of earth. How could He? It would be painful to reflect down on (I think) how brutal and vicious it is down here. It's so dirty and self serving. It's ugly and cold, with litter and potholes down here, dirty theft and speeding cars, people hating one another, and so many who are so sick they just want to die. I have led a very unfavorable life of misfortune. My life has never been "good" as it has always been full of anxiety, fear, etc. People blame people for these negative feelings, but you can only do so much to change it when there's so much destruction, suffering, pain and fighting to survive that we're surrounded by. I wonder if RC can see earth from there or how far the angels can see. Or if they have chocolate. Ah, what it will be like! We must all await the grand day of holiness when we will be in His Almighty and Supreme presence! I can't wait!

He has written enough books and preached enough messages that if you go back and listen and take to heart, you will be confident to deal with whatever comes your way because you have more than enough scripture at your disposal that has been exposited properly. What do you have to do is apply what you have learned and heard by the grace of God.

[@jacobtack2258]

Who do you really follow? Scriptures tells us to follow the example of our Messiah: 1Pe 2:21 For to this you were called, because Messiah also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that you should follow His steps, Followers of Jesus, the Greek Messiah: Pagan Names For the Father and Son(Lord/Jesus); Sunday rest; Pagan feasts of Easter and Christmas; popes; nuns; holy water; sacraments; or any separation of Messiah’s body into a “priesthood” and “laity”; eat pork(unclean foods). (None found In the Scripture) Followers of Yahusha, the Hebrew Messiah: Call the Father a Son by the Sacred Name Yahuah and Yahusha; 7th day Sabbath rest; Keep the Torah and Scriptural feasts of Lev 23; eat Kosher; circumcised and wear Tzitzits. (all found in the Scripture) Do you follow the belief ABOUT the Messiah or OF the Messiah? In other words, if you follow Jesus, you received the one who came in his own name: Joh 5:43 “I have come in My Father’s Name and you do not receive Me, if another comes in his own name, him you would receive. But if you Follow Messiah Yahusha, you will love Him and guard His Commands: Joh 14:15 “If you love Me, you shall guard My commands. You are of the one you obey: Rom 6:16 Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves servants for obedience, you are servants of the one whom you obey, whether of sin to death, or of obedience to righteousness? The error of the Christian church who believes they are the new chosen and replaced the Jews/Yahudim, here is our Father's answer to that: Rev 2:9 “I know your works, and pressure, and poverty - yet you are rich - and the blasphemy of those who say they are Yahuḏim and are not, but are a congregation of Satan.

God is sovereign and that is why we pray. The act of praying is in itself an acknowledgement that we are not sovereign but that God alone is sovereign. He is sovereign over all things and that we are all utterly dependent on Him for all things. We don't pray in order to change God's will but rather to acknowledge how we all need His will to be done in every aspect of our lives. For apart from Him, we can do nothing... for in Him we live and move and have our being. Whether one likes it or not, even the most hardened atheist depends on God for his very next heartbeat. But the atheist will not acknowledge this. How blessed and privileged God's children are for having eyes and hearts now opened to acknowledge God's sovereign Lordship over all things. Thank you LORD Jesus for paying the price so that sinners now declared saints, can forever draw near with confidence to the throne of grace. Holy Spirit, please continue to teach us how to pray so that in every aspect of our lives, God and God alone is glorified. Dear Heavenly Father, thank you so much for this great privilege of acknowledging the triune God's sovereign lordship over all things.

@@mitchellc4 not true at all. Even before Christ came the God of Israel was triune. Jesus ddnt come into being when he was born he was with the father even before the foundation of the world. YHWH,Angel of YHWH,spirit of YHWH. You can read exodus and also other books where Angek of YHWH is referred to as God and speaks as God read Genesis where there is the spirit of God. You quoted John, John opens by saying in the beginning was the word and the word was with God and the word was God verse 14 the word became flesh and dwelled among us. The very verse u quoted John 17 3 is not even in context read the next verses the 5th verse says And now, o father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I HAD WITH THEE BEFORE THE WORLD WAS. There are so many verses in the bible that explain Jesus is God. Jesus himself said I and the father are one, he said he who looked at me has looked at the father. He claimed to be the son of man in the book of Daniel which shares power with God. He even said before abraham was I AM which you can ho to exodus and see that the angel of YHWH in the burning Bush revealed his name as I AM. The Jews even tried to kill him and he said for which of my good works do u stone me and they said it I'd not for your good works but that you a man are claiming to be God, even the Jews understood he was claiming to be God. Even the prophecy In isiah his name being Emanuel which means God with us can explain to you who Jesus is. You can read in the bible where the holy spirit is called God like the time when ananya kept some money for himself and Peter clearly calls holy spirit God. And so on. Jesus died a human death and according to the bible death is when u lose your body and your soul changes location to either hell or heaven so yes jesus is God and yes he died a human death and he is still God. You need to at least consider reading whole chapter before using a verse and make it say what you want it to say, it easy for some1 to twist somethings, and what about all the other verses like some I mentioned that stand against you?

In the case of Hezekiah, (Isa.38:1-4) God told him that he(the king) should die and never live anymore. But when Hezekiah prayed, the scenario has been changed, King Hezekiah got additional 15 years of life, hence, God changed His mind, (same instance happened in the land of Neniveh). I think our prayers influence God response so as His mind and or decision.

No Jew, and Jews wrote the old testament and much of the new, ever believed God was a trinity. God, the Father, is holy (the only being that is). God, the Father, is spirit. Therefore the holy spirit is God, the Father's spirit, not another "person". Jesus, his son, accomplished his task while on earth...paying for humanity's sins. He now sits at God, the Father's right hand. Jesus doesn't answer prayer, only God, the Father answers prayer.

Theophilus of Antioch,Syria is the first person to use the word Trinity in his work Refutation of Autolycus A.D. 168.

@@mitchellc4 I get Anthony Buzzard's newsletter. In the most recent he goes on and on about believing the "Gospel of the Kingdom". Is that all we have to believe....that God is going to set up another Kingdom on this earth with Jesus as its head? Doesn't believing in Jesus' death and payment for our sins come into it somewhere? That seems to be left out of the recent newsletter. Or am I missing something?
