  • Ohh...Something about prayer: An occidental man came to the master and ask him. What is a miracle? The master replied: In Occident a miracle is when God do the will of a man asked in prayer. In Orient, a miracle is a man doing the will of God. I learned this from a non christian. Let me think how much we received from God. And with how little we respond to Him. Let's work then. Be blessed. :-)

  • I have always believed in prayer that when we ask for something we should ask if it be God's will, because sometimes what we want is not what God wants for us and I pray that His will be done, not mine. I have always prayed that way, that is how I was taught. The Gospel is about Jesus Christ and no other. It's all about Him and His will, not us and our will. We must decrease and He must increase. :)

  • Karen...I got here because of this. Christian Contemplative Prayer is not and never will be "NEW AGE".Is a very "superficial,poor non-objective,elemetal argument. Like saying (this 2 birds are equal because both have feathers). I have friends in Raiki, New Age Movement. God gave me the opportunity to listen to,learn,compare and get into conclusions. That is why I can't accept this. I apologize in getting in all this words with you. But this is also part of posting a video. To make comments.

  • And I don't mind your making comments, I am well aware of what goes with making videos. You didn't answer my questions though. We may have to agree to just disagree.

  • contemplative prayer is not biblical, it was introduced by 3 monks in 1977 to the catholic church and is a pagan eastern practiced Religion.

  • There are different methodologies for contemplative prayer. She does not describe what I experienced, but my experience does say - turn away from this pagan practice and turn toward the example Jesus gave us- immediately. She is right about familiar spirits. Jesus wants a personal relationship - talk to Him. He is listening and He loves you. It is not complicated.

  • This lady is the one who is dangerous. She has no idea of Contemplative Prayer, its methodology, and its purpose. It is a sad but true reality that so many so-called Christians think they know what they are talking about, but actually have no clue. It is this very sort of thing that is driving so many people away from Christianity. If Jesus heard this lady speak, he would surely weep.

  • As an ex Catholic monk who practiced this I can tell you, this is NOT scriptural Christian prayer. This is eastern paganism which will lead one to demonic possession.

  • You are right on the money. I just read a great book by Caryl Matriciano, "Out of India". What a great book. Not only does it call a spade a spade, but in the wrap up, it provokes people to seeing the bigger picture of how this model of prayer is being used to unite the religions. It also will discard the "old bad" Christianity model and replace it with a "new inclusive Christianity" complete with a new gospel, a new Jesus, a new body of Christ. Things that Revelation & Daniel said would come

  • This is Hindu-mantra praying, a new age concept, opening for demons!

  • God speaks through his word.

  • "Jesus gave us an example and it wasn't mystical like contemplative prayer is."

    That really is the heart of the matter isn't it. People don't realize that the only door way you can get through is the cross and if you try to go another way, even if it LOOKS good like a form of "prayer", you could encounter deception. Avoid the mystical like many of the Emergents run head long into. Rob Bell, so many names out there popularize this stuff.

  • Do all religons contain Truth, crystal? In your estimation, that is..

  • I loved Ray's book too!
