5 Things Christians Need to STOP Praying For…NOW!

[@knitro9043]

Can't tell you how many times I prayed for forgiveness, over and over again even when I haven't done anything. I think forgiving myself is just as hard as acknowledging what you did was wrong or a sin.

[@gwendolynwehage6336]

We are never told to forgive ourselves, forgiveness comes from others, however, when we continue feeling guilty over past sins that we confessed to be cleansed it is a sign that we didn't believe God. And, it is a sign that we are still hung up on what others may think of us. When we confess our sin and God forgives us it is not necessary to care what others think. If they accuse you of past sins you can say with confidence this "I confessed that to God and He cleansed me of it, it is finished at the cross." We can do it with joy and peace in our hearts. How someone else acts toward us about it is God's business, no need to take it seriously.

[@alfonsobecerra7960]

I say I'm sorry and have mercy on me

[@RandomMind]

I believe when we ask God, to forgive us even when we think we haven't done anything is just being precautions...when you lived in sin for so long and you came to the knowledge and gave your life to God, over time you would stop asking God, to forgive you even though you haven't committed a sin.

[@gwendolynwehage6336]

@@RandomMind We know when we have done a bad thing, God tells us in 1 John 1:9 to confess our sin to be cleansed of it. When we become born again we change our mind about our sin and desire God to change us. All past sin at the point is dealt with, however after that when we sin we need to confess it to grow in holiness. Growth can only happen when we admit what we did or our bad attitudes, then God will cleanse us so we don't continue to walk disobediently. Hebrews 12:5-7 "…5 And you have forgotten the exhortation that addresses you as sons: “My son, do not take lightly the discipline of the Lord, and do not lose heart when He rebukes you. 6 For the Lord disciplines the one He loves, and He chastises every son He receives.” 7 Endure suffering as discipline; God is treating you as sons. For what son is not disciplined by his father?…"

Yeah! We should pray without ceasing but not always about the specific things we want to pray about. If we're not being changed while we pray to be better aligned with God then we've missed the part of prayer where we're hearing from him and have gotten into the position of us directing him instead of being one with him. We can come to God with anything but our heart and attitude in the relationship is sooo important.

I think “giving more of His Spirit” means allowing Jesus to become greater in us, and for us to become less - so to speak. I think that’s a fine prayer

[@7manuvit]

Agreed, people can have different levels of annointing and power in the Holy spirit. God's spirit is unlimited in volume and capacity, so we can have more of it as we can have less. Otherwise there would not be disciples who were notable for being 'full of the Holy Spirit'. All Christians have the Holy Spirit through faith in Jesus, but not all of them are full of the Holy Spirit.

[@Corneisha15]

@@7manuvit “All Christians have the Holy Spirit but not all of them are full of the Holy Spirit”. Please think about what you said. As Allen referenced in the video, God does not give you the Holy Spirit partially, in pieces. Maybe you are thinking about spiritual gifts 🤔.. Hopefully you do not believe that those who claim to be prophets & speak in tongues have “more of the Holy Spirit”.

[@yoofij4724]

@@Corneisha15 what I mean is, when I was a young Christian, it was mostly me doing dumb things, and the Spirit could only impact certain things to try and turn me around. As a mature Christian, it's Him, doing the Father's will in me, and I'm along for the ride. Its not literally more of the Spirit, but even David prayed that God may continue to increase in him.

[@lilidawes1553]

Jesus doesn't give less of Himself to others, and more to some. Our Lord is just. It's more about how much we are willing to let Him work in us, and if we are truly striving to be righteous and do His good will.Those who strive for righteousness and to be holy may appear to have more of The Holy Spirit than others, but in truth its how they've let Him work in their life and their willingness to be transformed; as well as, doing their best to be more like Him and picking up their cross and denying themselves.

I like how you were talking about having the spirit and having eveything we need to live godly lives. I imagined a dimmer on a light switch. God powers us with light and he allows us to control the intensity by how we use what he has already given us. Just like when Jesus said don't hide your light under a basket but it is made to chase away darkness (paraphrasing). That really spoke to me. God bless you for that. I OFTEN pray for strength to follow his Spirit more and not his flesh when eveything I have is in me and it's up to me to simply do the work.

i beg you to allow your eyes when looking at the scripture to be the judge of what god wants and not your ears when listening to men in nice suits with a nice haircut. Jesus preached in rags with not even a 401K, mortgage, or a donation basket to his name. In the Word it says Mark 7:7 "These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. They worship me in vain; their teachings are but rules taught by men" this man brought up Rhema and Logos words or some stuff that doesnt exist in the Word. If you google it for yourself youll find out it was an invention by a group of churches who split off from another group of churches. the Word is One. The Word is Ultimate. holy water isnt in the bible this logos word stuff isnt in the bible rosaries arent in the bible ministers, deacons, priests, cardinals, and people you call Father in humility like they are god themselves arent in the bible Mark 7:7 "they worship me in vain; their teachings are but rules taught by men" if you read the word without the church telling u what it means in its entirety, no man call tell u how or what to worship because youve seen what God says with your very eyes.

[@phieble]

Lovingly and respectfully, I'd like to correct the first point about not asking for more of the Holy Spirit. I too used to misunderstand this in my earlier days of being a Christian (up until around 2018) when a dear sister Connie K Yom who also has a KZbin channel and IG which I suggest that people follow) corrected me by sending me a Paul Washer video where he told of his personal experience and cited numerous Scripture passages to explain the difference between being indwelt by the Holy Spirit when we first get saved which lasts forever and then being filled with the Holy Spirit and empowered for ministry and greater obedience which needs to happen over and over again. We are never told to be indwelt by the Holy Spirit, but we are told to be filled with the Holy Spirit in Ephesians 5:18 which implies that there may be times when we are not filled with/empowered by him. Also Jesus promised in Luke 11:1-10 that the Father would give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him which means that there is a need to ask to be filled with the Holy Spirit because we receive the indwelling of the Holy Spirit by repentance and faith in Jesus after new birth not by asking. This is why the apostles prayed for the filling of the Holy Spirit in places like Acts 4, Ephesians 3, ect. When it was said that we have everything we need to live a godly life, what that means is that through faith in Christ we have ACCESS to go to the Father and pray knowing that he will give us what we need. Obviously, it does not mean that we have everything that we need at all times instantaneously. Admittedly, I struggle to be consistent in asking to be filled with the Holy Spirit, and in my earlier days I did not understand why I would need to ask for the Holy Spirit to fill me when he's already in me and will never leave since I am God's child. Why doesn't he just fill me on his own since he's sovereign and he wants to? But I've come to realize my pride and lack of understanding in this and I know that I am not sufficient on my own to do ANYTHING that God commands me to when and how he wants me to just because I am a Christian. I still must actively abide in Christ if I'm going to be fruitful because our dependency doesn't go away and get replaced with instantaneous holiness and power when we become Christian, rather we just become more aware of our need and our hearts are changed to embrace it and behave/pray accordingly. We MUST pray continuously to be filled with the Holy Spirit lest we grieve him and live in arrogance, and for him to fill us is the same as us yielding so that he can have more of us. This is similar to how just because God is omnipresent doesn't mean that his manifest / close presence is everywhere and felt by everybody, so we should desire that and pray to draw closer to him and be more aware of his manifest presence experientially while obey what he has told us to do so as not to distance ourselvesfrom him (NOT SEPERATE AND RISK LOSING SALVATION) Lastly, this is also an instance where just because a teacher may get a point wrong every now and again doesn't mean we should dismiss them as a false teacher because we are all still growing. Mr Parr is definitely doctrinally solid and reliable because he is sincere and faithful in his exegesis of texts and is guided by good hermeneutics in interpreting Scripture, hence this platform blesses many.

[@jeramysteele]

You brought up interesting points in a very respectful manner. This is something I have switched back and forth on through my journey as well, and still feel I don't have a solid position on this. Thanks for giving this different interpretation.

[@phieble]

@@jeramysteele My delight and thanks for reading! 14) When I think of all this, I fall to my knees and pray to the Father, 15) the Creator of everything in heaven and on earth. 16) I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit. 17) Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God’s love and keep you strong. 18) And may you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. 19) May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God. - Ephesians 3:14-19

[@looktojesus]

I had the same objections as well! Just like you mentioned, I also remembered Acts 4, where the believers were "filled with the Holy Spirit", although they have already received the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost. So greater measures of the Spirit can be given to man. It also sounds a bit prideful that the fullness of the infinite God can be contained in a mere mortal man; I think only Christ ever had the whole fullness of deity dwell in him. Of course, God lives in us through the Holy Spirit, but God will give us greater grace and the fullness of the Spirit in times that he deems necessary.

[@phieble]

@@looktojesus YES! Also, if we can grieve the Holy Spirit then that obviously means that there are times when because of our sins we are less fruitful and not filled like we should be, and it's a bit naive and misguided to ignore that and think that just because the Holy Spirit lives in us we don't need him to move and empower us more from the inside so that we can grow and obey more. Jesus didn't say if you are Christian then don't be concerned about anything else because you being saved means you don't need anything else. He said that without abiding in Him we can do NOTHING, and the disciples were already Christians with the Holy Spirit when he told them that, so obviously abiding in him and tarrying / praying for the Holy Spirit like he told them to do in Jerusalem is something that we have to actively and continually do. (Luke 11:1-10 and John 14) God promised to give us everything we need and part of that comes through our obedience and diligence in prayer.

[@stephenkarnavos30]

Yes, and Ephesians 5.18 in Greek is in the continuous tense (in other words, you have to carry on being filled with the Holy Spirit)

Preying Hi Allan. What you say is true. I am 67 years old. When I was in my 20s I was very impatient when I was driving my car on the road. I got very stressed when others drove slowly or did stupid things and then did stupid stuff myself and I would prey that Father would take this away from me. It took about 40 years to understand that I already had it, patience, and I felt Father kindly laughing at me. He was very forgiving. Also, when praying for others, it is tempting to pray for what they want, but PREY for what our Father wants.

my friend i love you as a brother but let me show you these verses. 2 Chronicles 7:14 "if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land." Matthew 5:44 "But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you" Matthew 26:41 "Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak." i am not making any judgements but i just want to say i dont see any verses about prayer for receiving money, a job, a husband, or a dog. in fact i find this: James 1:8-10 "Believers in humble circumstances ought to take pride in their high position. But the rich should take pride in their humiliation-since they will pass away like a wild flower." James 1:12 " Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him." Who are we to even ask anything of God when it is WE who are who disobey him and spit in his face constantly with our sins. What pride is it to pray for a new car or cash money when we dont even deserve forgiveness. BUT DON'T TRUST ME OR ANYONE ELSE TELLING U ABOUT GOD!!! YOUR EYES CAN'T LIE TO U WHEN U READ SCRIPTURE BUT PEOPLE CAN!!!!!! The Word tells us about god as it is HIS WORD and you can read it in any language u want. read it for yourself so nobody can lace u up on scripture when youve read it all already and know it by heart.

I just started following you and I always learn a little something here and there in every of your videos and I’m so grateful for you and that I found this channel 🙏💗 Sometimes I save a video in a playlist to rewatch a little later and catch up on something I maybe missed the first time I watched or to have a Bible ready or pen and paper ready. I just wanted to give feedback and show appreciation 🙂👍🌸🫶 Thank you so much and God bless you! 🙏💗🌸

[@rosesrred-whatsinit4u668]

This is spot on and so in line with the in Christ position that anyone who is wise should pay attention to this. No if ands or buts about ti.

[@cboykin344]

Thank you so much for this video. I loved how you used Scriptures to explain what Christians should stop praying for which helped me to know what I should stop praying for. I also liked the examples you gave. May God bless you.

[@mambamentality9886]

Thanks for number five Alan. I was just telling someone about this and they justified it by saying David did it in the Psalms. I had to remind them that David it’s not our example, Christ is, and he never prayed for his enemies downfall.

[@lilidawes1553]

YESSSS!!!! I'm so glad that you talked about Christians praying for more of God's Spirit! I've always been a little too intimidated to speak up about that after prayer meetings, because I'm so young. There's also a lot of worship songs that have this same attitude of Christians having to ask for more of The Holy Spirit, how backwards! Thank you, thank you, thank you! The Holy Spirit dwells fully within each and every follower of Christ!!! Hallelujah! God Bless you, brother!

[@toddhicks]

Thank you so much for sharing.

Over five or so years ago my daughter broke up with her long time boyfriend and he moved out. She began a relationship right after with the neighbor. I didn't agree with her direction. It went on for over two months and I prayed about them breaking up because they did NOT belong together. I was in shock when the same night my daughter came home with all her belongings and crying hysterically. I just thanked God for delivering and answering my prayer. ❤🙏🏼❤ Shortly, after that she got back with her longtime boyfriend. She got pregnant, got married and gave her life to Jesus. 😊❤🤗❤️‍🔥🙏🏼🙌

Number 4 like this one God has closed some door's in my life but l try to keep open that door again

[@valeriepeluso7771]

Number 2 is so me. I asked God for forgiveness over a certain part of my life, and I know he did as I felt a huge burden lifted. But because of my guilt I’ve kept asking him over and over. Thank you for this explaination

[@garyboatright9665]

Allen parr you are such a great teacher. Im so glad i found you awhile back. Your teachings on the bible have been so helpful in my life.

[@belindabounds5336]

I always ask God to go with me when I go by stuff and stuff means that I buy stuff for me and I buy stuff to resell for the church so I can donate money I guess I need to stop telling God to go with me right I always have take the wheel I love him so much he's the love of my life my father Thank you so much for this I need to hear this but I don't know what my calling is I love to pray but I don't know how to read very good but I still pray and really loud

We Love You Brother Alan you know the bible very well. Thank you its a pleasure to listen to your video's God Bless You Brother ❤❤❤😊

[@veronicamwarren5750]

Good teaching of the Word of God. Praying with correction by the Holy Spirit according to God's will.

[@Commments]

I love the way you forsake traditions and teach what the word of God says.

[@tamekiaellis]

I have been watching your channel for awhile and I love how you break things down with sound doctrine.

[@jen6741]

Powerful instruction. We are studying in the book of 2 Kings. I’ve seen a lot of connections to your instruction in those accounts. I think it’s important to remind everyone that to know and understand GOD’s will we have to spend time getting to know him through personal study of his word the Bible. If you don’t have time for GOD then you open the door to be lost on his instruction and expectation. Thank you for this food for thought. Knowledge is our greatest source of power. The Bible is our greatest resource for correct knowledge.

[@stephenholtzhausen9514]

I think a key point on your 2nd prayer is forgivenes of SELF. If you can't forgive yourself for doing the wrong especially after you have already brought this into the light, asked for forgivenes and repented, it means that you're indirectly saying that what Jesus did on the cross carries no weight. It is important to forgive yourself as well.

[@David.124]

By “More of His Spirit” I typically would understand that as More of His likeness. So it would be similar to “More patience, more joy, more Love, more righteous judgement, more righteousness” etc. So I would say asking more of His spirit is just putting all of those into one, praying that you would me more like Him and His spirit.

[@joybellamy5561]

First of all I would like to say forgive any mistakes Siri writes for me because of my shaky fingers but brother Parr you won’t believe this yes you will just prayed this morning for God to show me because my heart felt that I was not getting it oh my goodness this is a answer to my prayer thank you thank you I lost my son in November and we have been having a lot of problems with my grandson‘s mother I haven’t prayed for her to have any problems but I have been angry with her and of course my son was unevenly yoked and I was angry with him his death was unexpected you do not know the day or time that you’ll leave this earth and you cannot say I will read my Bible later or read my Bible and I will pray later or believe later but anyway I’m going to listen to it again it is truly brighten my day and give prayer and thanks to God for this thank you thank you thank you

[@dtrelzmusic]

🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿 for your strength during the loss of you son. I pray you turn it completely over to God and not lean into your own understanding. 7-25-22

[@tonebonebgky2]

I wondered where you were going with this and then you hit on number 2 and I just started saying yes yes yes and never stopped

[@brendapeterkin3142]

As usual Allen, very wise words indeed. I'm guilty of asking forgiveness for the same thing many times. Thanks Allen. God bless you young men.

[@irinaferguson8618]

Thanks Allen for your video. God gave me confirmation through your video for my question about pray!!! Blessings for your ministry...

[@ElizabethMayo-sf4wg]

I love the way you make excellent points that any Christian would like to know as well as hear. I know it helps me as you concisely spell out these important points.

[@jonathantaylor3586]

Thank you Brother Allen

[@gequitaroper1531]

1 Peter 3:15 👑 "But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear;"

[@stephaniesteoberl4342]

This is one of your best videos, You hit the nail on the head in all categories. Good job.

[@TheAncientEmo]

Amen about your words on praying that he would give us more of his spirit, when we are obedient to the Lord he will pour out the presence of his spirit upon us more and more, however if we are disobedient at times this does not mean that the spirit has left us. just as a spouse does not leave you in times of trouble. but he does discipline us and he won’t give us that feeling of a warm love when we’re being chastised.

[@beautifulsoulsbystayeshay8003]

Amen the Lord used this word to reveal many of His truths to me. Jesus thanks for using Allen!

[@gandalf2128]
