Prayer Decolonized Part 1

 

Mainstream Erroneus Teachings About Prayer

 

Christianity teaches the following

• God hears your prayers if you are a sinner. That is to say, you can eat pork, wear pants, be a homosexual, be a fornicator, be an adulterer etc and you can pray no problem
• You pray anywhere, anytime, any direction and in any state and God will hear
  

 

Islam teaches the following

• No intercessor is needed for prayer
• You must pray towards the Ka’bah stone in Mecca, Saudi Arabia
• You must wash your hands, feet and face before praying

Buddhism teaches the following

• Prayer is for aligning with the teachings of Buddha
• Prayer is for honouring Buddhas and Bodhisattvas (enlightened beings)
• Prayer is for dedication of yourself to all sentient beings including people, animals, ghosts, hell beings and gods

The colonizer who is the biblical Edomite who God hates says that all these teachings are good because everyone is entitled to believe whatever they want spiritually but let us remember his role to decide whether or not we should trust his stance.

2 Thessalonians 2:3-4

Zech 9:13

Psalm 83:1-7

So knowing that our oppressor and his minions are hell bent on our destruction, how can we know the truth is about prayer, such an important part of our relationship with Yahawah our God?

Search the scriptures

The truth is that prayer is heard when prayed by the righteous, the children in crisis or the seeking. Yahawah answers the prayers he decides to answer at his convenience. The answer may be no. You can empower your prayers through various means.

HOW YAH OPERATES

• Matt 5:44-48 Yah operates perfectly. Doing ________ to the righteous and the sinner in Israel.

• 2 Esdras 9:18-22, 7-10 Yah gives benefits to his people as they live expecting that they would return to him seeing his goodness.

• Israelites usually do not return though and so will be tortured for their insubordination when their life ends.

• Many times it’s just the regular works of God that you are seeing not your prayers answered

WHICH PRAYERS ARE HEARD?

• Prayers of the repentant

• 1 Kings 8:44-48
• John 9:31

• Lawful prayers

• 1 Kings 8:22-23
• 1 Corinthians 11:1-5

• Desperate Outcries of his people

• Exodus 3:7-9, 2:23-25
• Judges 2:18 Yah rose up judges to save Israelites when they cried out in desperation.

• Repented from what? Lev 26:13-18

• This is why black christians say God heard my prayers, no he didn’t. He heard your desperate outcry and helped you when you didn’t deserve it but you must walk righteously to stop struggling and avoid eternal punishment.
