How not to pray

[Bros928]

Hes just giving an example of what he saw at the airport, and I dont care if hes right or wrong is not up to us to judge him

[BPittMusic]

notice how he only criticizes the prayer of orthodox jews and muslims, but that of christians.

[beeftownz]

@BPittMusic Actually he does criticize the prayer of christians..

notice how you take this out of context as it is a small portion of a long sermon

but u know what bpitt... i completely understand. I am a naturally vigilante n i still need to walk on eggshells with short vids. only thing is im not vigilante about.. meaningless things. its all about growing. if u don't see it.. pray about it and APPLY the Ex. jew to you.

[beeftownz]

@BPittMusic btw his criticism of other christians is another video. im sure u'll stumble upon it if ur concerned about his point and/or praying.

[AromaOfMyLife]

That man was most likely a Hasidic Jew. It is how they pray intensely. It comes from an OT verse about all their bones praising God.

[kaitoyuu]

do not be like "them". them = hypocrites.

hypocrites=people who want to be seen by people as religious and thus do everything a religious person would but only in public.

religious person=one who practices his/her religion both in public and alone

u can't tell the difference between a religious person or a hypocrite in public. they only differ when they are alone

[ODM108]

@kaitoyuu The biblical difference between the 2 is one looks for the approval of God (praying alone) and one looks for the approval and recognition of men (religious people). Jesus teaches that those that stand on the corners or the streets shouting their prayers to themselves receive all the reward they will get (people's recognition). Whereas praying alone is seeking and searching the approval of God, in doing that relationship is formed, you talk to Dad.

[indianpilgrim]

Mark,I can see your good intention and teaching us the best practices in prayer. However, as a brother in Him, I want you to know that Jesus probably could have prayed like the man at the Airport because Jesus himself was a Jew. Even if He never prayed in that rocking-posture fashion there is nothing that gives away that this man at the airport was trying to earn some type of favor or praise from anyone. Also, there are other cultures where Christians too pray differently than the casual America

[albanianboxer]

How in GOD NAME DO YOU KNOW THAT JEZUS(AS) WOULD FIND THAT SILLY ????????????????? What right do you have do speak in his (peace be upon him) name !! StagfourAllah

[funnytachi]

Can i just say, perhaps those people don't just pray to be seen, perhaps they were only praying in their way, because of their devotion to God, in their own way - because that is how they know it. We don't have a right to judge them, just like they don't have a right to judge us. We can't say if its right/wrong.... we can just know what we believe in...

[albanianboxer]

@funnytachi Props to you bro..! Asalam Aleykum !

[merrittdude]

Does anyone ever pray for anyone in public (like after church service) and even though the prayer is sincere, get enjoyment out of people seeing you pray? Hmmm.... I think I am guilty of this and it shames me. Then again part of the enjoyment is knowing people will see me as someone who will willingly pray for them and I think that's positive.

[sincerelynlove]

@merrittdude praying isnt the problem but its the motive behind it. it sounds like you're doing it as some kind of self righteousness (hence the guilt & shame you feel). if no one was around would you still be praying the same way? if the people around you say you were praying and never said anything to you about it would you still get "enjoyment" out of it? its just some food for thought

[merrittdude]

@sincerelynlove thanks.... yes i would still pray the same way, I always pray for folks if they ask, even if its in a dark closet with no one watching LOL.

[merrittdude]

@sincerelynlove thanks.... yes i would still pray the same way, I always pray for folks if they ask, even if its in a dark closet with no one watching LOL.

[XSC3]

@merrittdude on the other hand, why would it be a sin to enjoy praying?

[viniciuseneeme]

moi!

[Ridikai]

"Just look at how a child communicates wieth their dad" I love that :D

[90talisten]

Jesus was gay

[n9neTV]

@90talisten Are you crazy you will burn for that

[90talisten]

@n9neTV

lol, he sucked abrahams cock

[scatboy555]

@90talisten wat verse?? o_o

[n9neTV]

@90talisten Keep saying rude things you hate because you know jesus is better than what ever it is you belive in :) .. i will not argue with you , swear at him all you want , but youll see soon , and youll be begging

[90talisten]

@n9neTV

Yeah, I will see the newest episode of clusterfuck and beg to jesus that he will send me a tight nun that will take my cock like a pro.

[Diachi26]

@90talisten Hi unfunny person! I am guessing you have come here to learn about Jesus! I am also guessing you have abandonment issues so you make stupid comments like this to grab attention, but try to learn who Jesus is on the side. I'm sorry i can't take you seriously because your comment isn't random. You had to have found this video on your own looked it up in the search box, then to stir up a stupid argument, say a stupid comment. But in the end you show your own stupidity. Checkmate

[90talisten]

Hi Think-I-Know-It-All-Person! I am guessing you think that athiest don't have a humour, well we do! We like watching grown men praising an imaginary friend in the sky instead of doing something fun in there lifes, life is only one my fellow. I don't believe you are all stupid for believing in a bronze aged invisible man but pretty much blind as you are blind to my trolling, may you all wake up and leave your naive view of an invisible man and live your one and only life, Checkmate or whatever.

[Diachi26]

@90talisten So its irrational for me to believe in a man who existed on earth about 2,000 years ago that was recorded and backed up by eye witness accounts, secular historians, and archaeological evidence? Last time I remembered history isn't imaginary nor invisible. And because of Christ i can live my life in wisdom and truth and knowing there is an afterlife. I don't have to have sex, get drunk, or worry about the conspiracies of the U.S. Government's global agenda. I live life the right way.

[90talisten]

@Diachi26

mmm yeah, you will unfortunaly get very dissapointed when you die :)

[Diachi26]

@90talisten hmmm, yeah. And you will be very disappointed when you get left behind. God bless...

[90talisten]

@Diachi26

Ugh... Idiot, I mean that there is nothing after life, you will get dissapointed idiot.

[Diachi26]

@90talisten lol I know exactly what you were talking about. And i replied with a different remark, "idiot".

[90talisten]

@Diachi26

Okay idiot, you do get that god is fucking man made!

[Diachi26]

@90talisten Ok fool, you do get that RELIGION was man made and not God(aka the intelligent designer). And you should also know that without God, there would be no objective moral values. Which would result in nihilism. You will never answer how the universe began to exist without God. Its dumb how you guys use logic to refute logic, or Christian morality to refute Christianity. You're like a fish in the pond; thinks just because you can't see whats outside of the pond it doesn't exist.

[90talisten]

@Diachi26

Sure god was a intelleigent designer, created people like Hitler and Stalin. Good job God!

[Diachi26]

@90talisten That was a very ignorant comment. God didn't create people to do evil. People by free will CHOSE to do evil. So that was by their own free will to kill millions of people. Therefore your comment is irrelevant to my statement. Ad hominem attacks never work against logic my friend.

[lion49nfl]

@90talisten God made them but histler and stalin were the ones who choose to rebel from God

[90talisten]

@lion49nfl

Not really. Hitler was a catholic.

[lion49nfl]

@90talisten catholic church isnt from God its from satan and even hitler disobeey the catholic church any way cuz he killed millons

[90talisten]

@lion49nfl

really? He said he did gods will killing the jews in his book Mien Kampf.

[lion49nfl]

@90talisten show me from the bible where it says kill jews and its not god will hitler never read the bible he denid many core truths and was agonstic for most part it was hitler's will not god's hitler was a other false teacher murder lair and perverter of the Gospel of GOD

[90talisten]

@lion49nfl

You are right, it does not stand in the bible that catholics have to kill jews. But Hitler used religion as a excuse to kill jews and that's why I am against religion as an whole because many people get killed in the name of religion. If religion did not exist, man ypeople would not die. Twin Towers would still been here and many wars would have not been fought. Something for you to think about.

[lion49nfl]

@90talisten ur right but the bible dont teach religon it teaches salavation and the truth

[90talisten]

@lion49nfl

Does not matter, people still die over it. It's not worth it.

[lion49nfl]

@90talisten it stills matters bro the truth is not a religon but the truth is God

[90talisten]

@lion49nfl

but why you need religion if its all about god?

[lion49nfl]

@90talisten i dont belive in religon i belive in God and his holy word

[90talisten]

@lion49nfl

Then you don't consider yourself a christian right?

[lion49nfl]

@90talisten yes i am a christian a bible beliveing christian but biblical christianity is not a world religon

[90talisten]

@lion49nfl

I rest my case

[lion49nfl]

@90talisten wat r u trying to say bro every relgion ecepte the bible teaches salavation bu works every religon execpte the bible has pagan orgians ever religon ecepte the bible says jesus is not god and God is not the savior so u choose between the world and Jesus

[Hoogz20]

@90talisten God is all there is friend. God is the reason you live, have breath in your lungs and God is reality.. Want to talk about it? Message me. It's really very simple.

[90talisten]

@Hoogz20

of course it\s simple when it does not make sense

[ZepShepley]

what about the parable of the unjust judge, in which Jesus compares the Father to a judge who seemingly only grants a widow her request because he gets annoyed with her asking over and over again?

[peutricolor]

I'm not jew, but this video is so offensive and stupid.

I bet a orthodox jew follows the bible way stricter then that preacher.

The bible itself is so contradictory. How would you follow a book that tells you to act one way on the begin of it and then a whole another way on the end of it?

If the bible books were consistent to each other jews and christians would act pretty much the same way.

Anyway, who cares?

No one here likes thinking or discussing about other point of views.

[nathanlovesjesus]

@peutricolor you say that, yet you have no basis of fact. This video is very radical and real, if you watch the whole video, you would actually understand.

[peutricolor]

@nathanlovesjesus

I did watch the whole video.

It's offensive the way he ridiculizes other's religion.

And what do you mean by saying that I don't have basis of fact?

I read so many parts of the bible that no christians follows, and them, some other's are followed with determination?

Why is that?

Why not follow the old testament too?

Stop beign a hypocrite.

[nathanlovesjesus]

@peutricolor he doesn't ridicule the other religion man, he says how silly it is. Repeating yourself over and over is not gonna make HIm here ya anymore than He already does. I understand that there's parts of the bible that not all Christians follow, important parts, some are unimportant. And some do follow them. You just have to realize what it means to be a Christian, you don't have to slaughter lambs anymore ya know?

Sorry if I've offended you or angered you.

[peutricolor]

@nathanlovesjesus

Oh it's fine, you won't offend me in any way, don't bother.

Concerning to our discussion, you almost made my point:

Who says what in the Bible is important and what's not?

The church? The preacher? Me?

Somethings might sound outdated such as sacrificing animals and giving away crops in the name of God. But in a few years being married might be outdated. Maybe in 40 years being gay will be accepted and then those parts of the bible will suddenly become unimportant?

[nathanlovesjesus]

@peutricolor Well, no.You see that's not the point, the most important thing you can get from the bible is Jesus. After that,God starts to change you from the inside out. The New testament fulfilled the Old, and by sending His Son, we are all saved, but it's your choice. Now I have nothing against the Old Testament, in fact everyone should read it to get a better understanding of God, Israel, and Jews.I believe that all Christians should read it. But ultimately,only Jesus can save you,not the OT

[lonewolf0017]

"I'll let HIM offend you" lol

[ChristLoveInMe]

Dear Pastor, Wow, Thank you for this great video. Its the best news I've heard in a while. I suffer terribbly from religious OCD aka "Scrupolusity". i hope & pray that i will never lose my faith, but I am defintely losing my hope. How do I live with hope & joy when it certainley looks like were in the last days, & America is being judged & what is to come with obama trying to divide Jersulaem-a fatal mistake, Thank you mike :( :(

[HeavenBound2323]

Jesus often prayed all night. In my life i have found that i have the most strength and my life begins to change. When i pray a few hours a day. Let us remember that Prayer is communion with God. We should spend much time with God

[TheLizzieisawsome]

Ha ha i find this funny cause it annoysme as heck to pray in public because i cant truly concentrate on god.

[barrypotter09]

Ok. I am a Christian. And...I have a problem with him making fun of the young Jewish man. That is NOT the attitude of Christ. Why make fun of him? That is his faith...whether or not he may be wrong, why make fun of him and by extension, Jews in general.

[gfrog2000]

@barrypotter09 Some behavior should be "made fun of" if that means pointing out that it is wrong. Likewise someone who is behaving in a way that is contrary to The Word deserves to have the truth spoken about them. Driscoll didn't ridicule the individual but rather his behavior. And yes, Christ was very clear on many different occasions in condemning religious fakes, charlatans, and hypocrites. Clearly Mr. Driscoll doesn't have the standing that Christ did, but what he said here was correct.

[nathanlovesjesus]

@barrypotter09 Actually, that's exactly what Jesus did too. He even says that...

[FSSPOblate]

Two quick questions:

Is the Bible necessary for salvation?

Where did the Bible come from?

[NewLivingWater]

@FSSPOblate the bible will help you stay on the path u cannot do this by yourself.the bible will give you an answer for any question you have about anything.

[enotstehw]

God is not a Santa Clause . . . we do not make a wish list . . . to give to God. Men pray to receive instructions from God. We do not know the correct solution to any of our problems. God knows all the answers. Children always try to manipulate their parents into giving them what they want. So . . . prayer is listening to the voice of God. . . . And doing his instructions.

[reoreason]

How do you know that your prayers are heard by God and not the demonic beings who then act upon them and deceive us?

[superflynapoleon]

and how should christians pray?

And he (Jesus) went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed..."-(MATTHEW 26:39).

"And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship..."-(JOSHUA 5:14).

"And he (Elijah) cast himself down upon the earth, and put his face between his knees."-(1 KINGS 18:42).

"And they (Moses and Aaron) fell upon their faces..."-(NUMBERS 20:6).

"And Abraham fell on his face..."-(GENESIS 17:3).

and its 5 times a day we muslims pray not 3 :)

[BBulm360]

@superflynapoleon You are right. The bible outlines many differentphysical posturesduring prayer and worship. Bibilically a couple I see are kneeling, sitting, standing, clapping, playing instruments, walking, dancing, playing instruments.Also God is less concerned with the stance of prayer though and more concerned with the stance of the heart. As a muslim you should know Jesus told us to pray in his name and made it clear to us that he is the perfect visible image of the perfect invisible God.

[superflynapoleon]

and how should christians pray?

And he (Jesus) went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed..."-(MATTHEW 26:39).

[Icannottolerateit]

By the way....

"Let us move on to maturity and not again laying the foundation of repentance from dead works"

So continual repentance is for babies, whereas occasional repentance is for those who have progressed to maturity.

With the way Calvinists talk about repentance you would think they would have nothing else to pray about, nor time to pray about, considering how impure they must think they are and how impure they must really be given their inability to overcome Satan.

[Icannottolerateit]

@mozzrt When that man said one HAD to speak in tongues to have the Holy Spirit I kind of stopped listening, as right as some of the things he has said can be.

He also has nothing to say about corporate prayer, which is what the body subsists on and is the bread and butter of the body of Christ.....Being by yourself is NOT an option; we are to seek fellowship.

[candymanbrian]

@Icannottolerateit what about when Jesus left everyone to be alone to pray? And when he went and fasted in the wilderness by himself? There is a time for being by yourself, alone personal time with the Lord to grow yourself. I do also realize that we are to seek fellowship, which also needs to happen, but alone time is necessary to your own personal spiritual growth.

[CallmeMell]

@candymanbrian what you said is so important that i hope God makes people give it thumbs up so everyone can see it.

[Icannottolerateit]

@mozzrt And God does not need any individual. he can raise up stones to be his children if he so desired.

[Icannottolerateit]

@mozzrt You will get a bigger motivations by reading about Evan Roberts and the Welsh revival than hearing anything from Finalcall.

[Icannottolerateit]

@mozzrt That is what I mean. Paul says it is not necessary but I believe Finalcall did in fact do just that.

[Icannottolerateit]

What is ironic is that he almost directly quoted the Pharisee prayer.

"Thank you God I am on another team"

"Thank you God for not making me a publican"

Way to go Mark.....You condemn a man for praying like a pharisee then pray exactly like a pharisee.

[brackishnz]

@Icannottolerateit in the scripture you are reffering to, the man says thanks that i'm not a sinner unlike that person. mark isnt saying thanks i'm not a sinner, just thanks that I don't have to look foolish and obsess over religious acts. whole different spirit.

[Multifarious222]

I love this guy, I'm real glad I'm came across. He speaks with intimacy and truth, I like that.

[Icannottolerateit]

@Multifarious222 We says true things but he certainly is not very intimate.....He is as emotional as a chalk board.

[cfloate13]

@Hotnuttt coming from the people that think priests can take away your sins forever.ahah and we dont need the Catholic church to tell us about the Bible when all we need is the Bible and Matt. 16:13-18 has absolutely nothing to do with the papacy teaching from the chair of Peter. we should be teaching from the BIble and the words of Christ. I am pretty sure that Jesus's teachings should come before those of Peter

[cfloate13]

sorry bout the beginning of the last response..i wasnt thinking before i put that down. plz forgive me if i offended you are hurt u in anyway..like i said i wasnt thinking

[Sspeedyme]

@cfloate13 Sola scriptura is not in the bible....

[Icannottolerateit]

@Sspeedyme The fact that the WORD is Jesus himself and not the Bible should be enough for people to understand that they put too much weight on reading the Bible and not enough weight on praying.

Prayer should take up far more of our time than reading, and knowing most of the mysteries in the Bible can happen fairly quickly in the Christian walk and all are only truly revealed through prayer and the Holy Spirit.

[zelda005]

LOL at 1:01 he looks like a monster

[blackk141]

Don't the bible teach us to keep asking?

[Cydia]

@blackk141 It has. It even has already designed the questions for you... don't ask the wrong ones, though. It might change your youtube channel forever.

[polopowers1]

Repentance everyday is dishonoring to the relationship of Christ.Christ died for all my sin past, present, and future.Constant repentance is rebuked in Heb 6:1,2 Devotion cannot be enjoyed in constant repentance.Christ died for freedom not bondage to sin and repentance, it sounds good to repent all the time but it is not.Christ is NOT a minister of sin Galations 2:7-17

[xWhiteLightning]

@polopowers1 Well, in the Book of Hebrew, Paul was writing to believers who were having second thoughts about their decision to leave Judaism to become Christians. Repentance is turning away from your sin so we could live holy lives as Jesus lived, and that's not a once in a life time event. For us to become more like Jesus it takes a life time of repentance.Remember, the evidence that we are truly saved and have truly repented, is that we are continuing and seeking to be more like Jesus Christ.

[polopowers1]

@xWhiteLightning It is a disgrace for a believer to be in CONSTANT repentance.Though it may be needed it is not what Christ is achieving He is not a minister of sin.The evidence that we are really truly saved is constant devtion not constant repentance.

[xWhiteLightning]

@polopowers1 Ok - I'm not quite sure what you mean. May you briefly explain what you mean by 'minister of sin'. Also, I don't think you understand what repentance is. Repentance is turning away from sin and seeking/trying to become like Jesus Christ(which is perfection). Repentance is in fact a devotion to Christ, because that is who all Christians want to be like. Now, you might not understand the difference between 'asking for forgiveness' and 'repentance', they are not the same thing.

[polopowers1]

@xWhiteLightning.Christ is not repenting relationship.I am to be renewed in my mind Rom 12 Repentance is not an ideal relationship it is a immature one.Christ is not a minister of sin. Gal 2 is for those who understand works do not validate the cross.Repentance keeps from true affection and victory. He who is concentrating on sin will sin.Constant changing of mind about sin means you are not resting in Atonement for victory.Sin is not your problem when redeemed it is staying devoted to the Word

[kodzillah]

talking to dad? i believed when i pray i am worshipping God and asking forgiveness and mercy.. this guy makes it as if we just have a chat with our creator without worshipping him andd repenting.

[destin325]

per your own words..."god knows what you need before you ask him" that being the case, I assume that you believe that god is all knowing and powerful.

if the above is also true....then that means that god knows now, weather you will go to heaven or hell.

if that is also true, that also means that god knew that before you were born, weather you were going to hell or heaven.

if that is true, then ..how do we have a loving god when he knows that before you are born,you will spend eternity in hell?

[kodzillah]

@destin325 well all praise be to the mighty God.. what you have said made perfect sense to ask, i thought about it and decided worshipping God is what i must do, because if there isnt a God like many non-believers say, i would have still worshipped and died, oh well, but if there is a God and i didnt worship him?

[destin325]

@kodzillah

"but if if there is a god and i didnt worship him"

i implore you to ensure that you are worshiping god because of the relationship you have NOT for the sake of....better to do and be saved, not and burned. ..the burden of hell is a tactic many untruthful Christians use to SCARE people (HELL IS HOT!!!) into believing. ..if you are going to believe, then do so but know why. btw, if you really want to reinforce your faith or belief, study atheist..the good arguments come from them.

[kodzillah]

@destin325 reinforcing my faith not, i want to strengthen my faith, thats why i watch dis video,lol i truly believe there is a creator of this whole matter, therefore i cannot look into atheism because it just does not apply to my desires

[kodzillah]

@destin325 i also believe (ref to your first comment) that yes God is an almighty all knowing endless God, and i believe that he knows our futures and outcomes, that is why i think we shoiulkd all give praise to him because its a risk i am not willing to take, i mean, would you dare to question his judgements? if you were to believe and love and serve him, that i feel the rewards are great as written in the bible, Jesus has given me and you a chance, accept him into your life brother

[CastingStonez]

Sorry but this Prayer is NOT found in scripture ANYWHERE... and saying it many times means NOTHING...

Mary has NOTHING to do with being blessed, and why would you HAIL MARY to start your prayer in the first place???

You "salute" mary???

Jesus is salvation... END OF STORY...

Mary was a human woman that mothered Jesus... THATS IT!!!

she has no special Grace, Power, or Edification...

Its The Father, Jesus, and His Holy spirit...

Mary has NO PLACE OR AUTHORITY...

[B4mytyme]

i loev how chrsitians and jews and muslims always tak about how different they are from one another and condemn one another...ridiculous. truth s you all are full of it.

[Roy5595]

Thanks, it seems I've fallen into the same kind of patterns and ways of thinking, this has helped me a lot!

[CWA1982]

so basically i need 2 keep it simple and from the heart.....????....plz respond i wanna learn. god bless :):):)

[thnguyen24]

basically, praying is talking to your heavenly dad. The earthly dad is supposed to be like the heavenly dad, but he usually fails to do so, so you might feel distant from both dad .

[ScottDaMoose]

@CWA1982

Praying?

We can look and see how Christ prayed.

Jesus told Peter(Simon) that he would deny him and Satan wants to sift him.

Jesus prayed not that Peter would not go through this challange but that he would gain strenght from the challanged.

Pray asking God to guide you on the path god has chosen for your life. Pray that God will give you strength to walk that path however hard it may become. So that at the end the journey youcome to see and know him.

[ScottDaMoose]

Luk 22:31-34 "Simon, Simon, behold, Satan demanded to have you, that he might sift you like wheat, but I have prayed for you that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned again, strengthen your brothers." Peter said to him, "Lord, I am ready to go with you both to prison and to death." Jesus said, "I tell you, Peter, the rooster will not crow this day, until you deny three times that you know me."

[NJR1210]

Yep. Most of my prayers, are casual conversations, either aloud (whisper) or saying it in my head, you can hear what you think right? Isn't that neat! Anyways, I pray for strength to get through the day, keep my mouth and attitude clean, and for the Lord to show me something new, show me what his will is and what he would like me to do. That's just some of what I pray for...daily.

[DonaldJamesParker]

One mitigating circumstance here - people who pray in an airport are not going to impress many people in this day and age. I agree that pomposity is not a desirable ingredient of prayer. Donald James Parker Author of More Than Dust in the Wind

[lidgerwood]

15 minutes is a long time for me- some people I know would not say that. I just don't pray for that long- my attention span isn't that long. My wife says she can pray for hours.

[RJORRIS]

Well I think God heard you the first time, and if your truly sorry and ask for forgiveness, then he forgives you, I think I saw in the bible when I was reading that he forgets our sins.......if God forgot about it, then you forget about it!

[bizzybrit]

attempting to convince you that you are not good enough, or that your sin is not forgiven. Hope this helps. God bless.

[bizzybrit]

That means we can confess our sin, ask for forgiveness, repent and be reconciled to God. There is no need to continually confess and repent of the same sin. (unless of course you are sinning habitually) in which case I would recommend getting spiritual guidance/accountability. Remember, the great thing about Jesus, when we confess our sin, we only need to do it once and "He is faithful and just to forgive us our sin and cleanse us from all unrighteousness." Don't let Satan steal your joy by him

[littleredbirdy]

Repentance is something that must be done everyday, because most of the real Christians sins are done in ignorance. (like wasting time)

[Icannottolerateit]

@littleredbirdy Well we do not need to waste time, it is not something everyone does nor it is something we cannot be saved from.

We are called to defeat Satan and come out of the wilderness a changed person, not be constantly battered by Satan and left in the wilderness until our death. We are supposed to cross the Jordan and start actually pulling down strongholds! We cannot do that if we are constantly being mislead by Satan, even if it is in ignorance.

[gnawaserge]

@littleredbirdy what about when you waste time because of Depression?

[bizzybrit]

TrueHybrid~ I wouldn't use the word "wrong." I would use the phrase, "counter-productive." Yes, we are sinners and it is good to ask for forgiveness when we have sinned against our heavenly father. But, the great thing about knowing Jesus is knowing the price he payed for that sin. So, if the bulk of your prayer time is spent in disappointment and shame for what you have done, that is not what God wants. Remember, Christ came and died to forgive us of ALL sin, past, present and future.

[ashesly]

I like this pastor...he is not show off and "Televangical" he is just plain and simple. Just like the word. I like the way he outlined the major differences with Christians (followers of Christ) and Religious folk. LOL...Religious folks today are equivilant to the Scribes and Pharaseeese of the past in the bible.

i disagree with a few things, i follow islam, god is the only one u pray for privately and publicly but with the Correct surrounding!!! emm and people are different with different faiths.... stay safe

[lvillalobos]

we dont follow the Islamic Faith, we follow Jesus Christ the son of God. We also pray with other people as well as private. What Jesus said here was that religious people pray so people will see them and think that they are good and devouted...which is ultimately hypocrital...you pray in love to God, not to show off. We christians have a relationship with God as fathers and son not as formality...he is our God, our king,our father, as servants and as his friends.

May Jesus bless you!
