PRAYING & GETTING RESULTS
 
I suspect those who pray, pray differently then others. Please tell us how you pray in order to get results. Thank you.

Miss Hepburn 22-09-2019 11:23 PM

I do what Jesus said to do. Believe and receive...believe it has already been given;
knowing God has heard your prayer...and as Paul said,..."...how will He not also,
along with himself, graciously give us all things?' Romans somewhere


It's a done deal, never have doubt...ever....for a second...ever.

Prayer, like meditation, is a form of self-hypnosis that opens a line of communication with your source of higher knowledge and guidance, according to your beliefs.

Relax your physical, quiet your thoughts, focus inwards with an attitude of mild unbiased expectation, ask and be open to receive input.

You can stay open for guidance, initiate a dialogue, or make requests.

The experience will fit your beliefs and expectations, so you have to be careful not to subjectively affect the experience more than you want to.

I use prayer as an expression of gratitude. Often it happens while i'm running or watching a sunset at the beach. In which i look up at the sky and say "thank you, thank you so much for this experience." Or sometimes i'll say "may i continue on this path." And i always get what i want in the long run. I don't know who or what i'm praying to or if there is some higher power or not. But that really isn't all that important to me anyway.

To encourage I will also tell of the results, hope that's ok.

To get results when I do healings?
It's more of a command...no asking, no real prayer. I talk right to the Holy Spirit....
"Heal this person...from head to toe completely...none of this vegetable stuff." Ha...I really said that. :D....ha, no vegetable stuff.

That was for the dying person on life support keeping her alive, in a coma in the ICU.
By morning she was sitting up, smiling and talking...all life support taken away. Thank you, Lord.

Another amazing time...again, secretly inside, with my arm on a guy's shoulder after him telling me his terrible health issues...
I strongly with such directed force inside, imagine gritting your teeth power...I told the Holy Spirit to heal this guy of everything!
This guy knew I was 'way into God'...but don't think I told him I do healings....thru the Holy Spirit, (we all know we don't do it!):notworthy:

Oh brother...no insurance, so many problems plaguing him for so long...he was scared and very down...what was he gonna do?
Anyway, I saw him a month later, but didn't recognize him for a minute...
but his arms were open saying my name, so happy to see me...he had cut his beard and hair,
got rid of his homeless clothes and looked 'normal' (as in, showered and clean).
That's when he told me, "You healed me that night". Well, I guess so!
Praise God.

I kinda just tell the Holy Spirit and never think of it again.
Why? Paul said ...This is the confidence when we approach God - that He hears us...and knowing
He hears us we know we have what we have asked of Him
...from memory- 1 John somewhere.

But, I acknowledge God in all my ways...He knows I have 100% love and confidence and trust in Him...
there is no wavering in my being about this.
Does that make a difference in results ...oh yeah.

I hope this encourages people...and gives them hope and inspiration.:hug:
Nothing is impossible with God.

Nice read. Thanks MissH. Thank you for your trust.
I just did not get the vegetable comment.

The woman in the coma could have come out of it with no life support needed, conscious
and have been a vegetable! :icon_eek: Great! lol.
Thus, haha...."None of this vegetable stuff!".with a wave of my hand from foot to head.
I talk pretty straight as I would with a friend to God.
I make myself laugh. :tongue: He is very approachable, btw....
I know now why Hafiz calls Him, The Friend. He is! And the best Friend.:smile:

Came here to post something Abraham-Hicks said:

True healers know that wellness is the order of the day, so they do not allow themselves,
even for a moment,
to see anything other than that.

(I would add...you see total health, total success....why?
Because healing and health is God's Will, period.
It's us that create the disharmony or disease.
The power of this knowledge is tremendous in healing.) :hug3:

Jainarayan 25-09-2019 01:51 PM

Ordinarily I just talk to the Gods, mostly to Krishna.
  • I once did a 40 day promise of a daily japa round of Goddess Lakshmi's gayatri mantra for some financial help. A round is usually 108 repetitions (there are other numbers). It usually took about 40 minutes. I felt like she helped (and has been helping).
  • I did a daily 11 repetition japa of a Lord Hanuman mantra for my job. I promised to continue the japa until my request was fulfilled. I felt it worked.

lomax 26-09-2019 05:34 AM

From my own experience,we all have allready spirit allies and aspects of our selves that we're not aware of.

When someone attempts to connect with beings and spirits,the allies get in the middle.They might give you the result you want or let you believe that you truly reached the spirit you wanted.

A legit manifestation driven completely by our lower selfs,propably will result to a serious energy drain,or you might get what you want,but you'll also find your self loosing something else from other aspects of your life.

This is one reason why prayers regarding manifestation are not allways work.
Most of the times it's for our own good.

Also there's an angelic who regulates your energies (they are not unlimited).If you have to face a major event in the near future,the being will hold back your attempts to manifest things you want,saving your energies for later.Some people know how to bypass this being and bring their desires to manifest,but almost allways it comes with a price.It's like taking power from one place,transfering it to another one.

lomax 26-09-2019 06:30 AM

For example Josephine Maccarthy described the whole thing after she contacted this angel.The being showed to her in vision,the pots of life.They were vessels,filled with power and energy.

She took the power from the vessel of financial and social stability,and putted it on the health one.
The next days her health status were increased dramaticaly,but she lost her job and her income.

I suspect...... not as many as Jesus has.

Miss Hepburn 28-09-2019 03:04 PM

I find it fun to honor, thank and listen to my Spirit Allies..as simple as, "Take your umbrella"..."Ok".
Then, I find they tell me more things...because I'm open and listening...
this is what it feels like anyway.
Like, a few days ago I brought in that coffee can filled with coins to the bank...I said, Don't tell me the total!
I said $152...and it was $152.37...I listened to a small voice inside me.
That's them!
:smile:

GREAT EXAMPLE!

One time I went to a rock show and looked at some 1 kilo bag of rocks. I held each bag to my ear and then shook my head meaning "NO". When I got done listening to each bag, I told the dealer all the bags I was interested in were all less then 1 kilo. He claimed "Impossible", took the bags and re-weighted them. The bags were all less then 1 kilo.

As far as holding the bags to my ear, that was all showmanship - I had already been told the answer.

A friend taught me. :smile:
He went to a psychic development type school!
Like, if you had a gift, learn more about it.
You could not graduate until you flipped a coin 100 times and
got it correct 100 times...head or tails. :tongue:


I have had people draw cards from a deck and guess what they are...
write it down. I always get it right (as my mother also could do)...

Some would say a '4' as their card face down...nope, I would always say the suit, also.
People thought it was trick...it was me listening inside to my 'spirit allies'.

SUPER!
I have had numerous discussions with psychics who claim such feats are impossible.
One psychic did numerous times some of the on-line psychic tests, and got scores that were close to zero.

As for me, I use to go to one particular casino and would try to predict what the next number
on the roulette wheel would be. The best I ever got was 3 guesses correct in a row.

meetjazz 02-10-2019 01:12 PM

Hmm, one of my morning prayers:
....
Bless this day
keep me safe and whole
kind and compassionate
Bless my path today
Help me to act with wisdom
and live in perpetual gratitude
Bless my human family
who are everywhere & everyone
Bless the creatures and plants
May all life be blessed on this day
....
I use it as a prayer to my beloved Goddess Kuan Yin. You can find many, many prayers online, maybe online prayers are a good way to start, if you are not sure how to get started,..until you have a sense of ''making contact'' or have a sense to be in touch. To get in touch with your higher self, your inner voice, guardian angel, the bodhisattva, internal guide...however you want to call it or are the most comfortable with it. And this is crucial from my experience that we are completely honest, completely open,...which we become over time. At the beginning is probably a lot of, hmm skepticism, uncertainty,...just don't give up...the doors are getting open,..you don't even have to believe it...only over time you will realize..starting to feel love from inside, this inner voice..which will get much louder...over time, you will never feel alone again,...you will always have a warm feeling,..not to mention real-world changes as well as in your personality.

^^Good post^^

AbilityMom 03-10-2019 03:21 PM

There is no certain way to pray to get results that people are looking for.
Lord knows who is people are and who are not.
If you have true faith in the Lord your prayers will be answered. Most people want action now, Lord don't work on our time. Some of the prayers are answered people don't see it.
For example my daughter is disabled the company her insurance goes threw messed up and didn't get her diapers out in time.
I had 10 diapers left no money! I sat down prayed.
Lord please help me I need you, need you strength please give me a sign.
I woke up next day thinking omg what am I gonna do? Day passed my daughter was down to her last diaper! The mail came and I was completely shocked! I got a credit card from my bank, I was like I never signed up for it. So I called my bank they said yes it is real and it is yours. I ran to the store got her enough diapers.
Lord works on his time not ours.

I know some people who are Born again Christians. the woman is an ordained Minister to look at her you would think she is a teenager.
she is only 4ft8 at the most but she is married with 3 kids,
She prayers to God as usual then she changes the way she teaches it reminds me of the Gospel singers.
she swings her arms everywhere and she says she goes into a trance like state. she is the only one to do Healing as she has the only one that has been given ,the go ahead by god.

I am wicked to her because i am a medium and a Healer i dont work for God her words.
I said to her i dont believe in your God i prayer to the creator for the Higher good and i prayer everywhere, out in Nature is best for me.as for Healing i get a lot more results.
but still i am wicked.
She is very confident so much so it looks like Arogance she came to an Interview we were holding for a support worker for the Elderly on the council.
i was on the interview pannel she didnt get the job someone else got it she has not spoken to me since.
so much for being christian


Namaste

Expand your horizons.....it is easy to find detestable people of any persuasions....I don't believe in blanket judgements...but to each his own...:)

Why?* Native told a story as it happened.
There was no blanket judgment.
Anyone could have said 'so much for being Christian'...it's hard to be thought of as wicked by a Christian.
It makes ya: 1. not respect the religion 2. not wanna be one 3. perceive (not judge) that person doesn't seem like they're
loving their neighbor.


* I mean, sure, we all could expand our horizons.

Miss Hepburn,

Fairness would have included a qualifier. IMO that would be: 'She claimed to be a born again Christian'. There is a huge difference between claiming and being one in reality. She has appropriated the title by all appearances without the bonafides. A wolf in sheep's clothing.

Native spirit 12-01-2021 10:31 PM

What i said is correct she does claim to be a Born again christian.and not just to myself either. these are her words not mine.
So in my opinion does not come into it.


Namaste

Molearner, so you're saying a person should say, "I know people who say that are B A Christians."
When you know they are and they say they are?
Doesn't make sense. You just read it wrong. Must have.

Miss Hepburn,

Try asking them HOW they were born again.....it is a spiritual process not just something read and remembered from the 3rd chapter of John. If it is a bragging right I can almost guarantee it is not genuine. It is about like people draping themselves with the flag....they are just as likely to be terrorists. From what Native Spirit said she sounded like a charlatan to me.

Molearner 13-01-2021 03:03 PM

Perhaps it would be easier to understand if one claimed to belong to the Church of the Enlightened.......would we accept that all members are enlightened ?

There's a C of the E? You're kidding, right?:tongue: Btw, enlightened is not a word I use...
what the heck does it even mean? (That was rhetorical!)
What point would you like to make. Just say it.

Miss Hepburn,
The point is, of course, just because one claims something does not mean that it is true. There are many people that claim, in front of a judge, that they are not guilty. The accepted facts often prove that they are guilty. We cannot be our own judge....that is left to others.

PureEvil760 21-01-2021 02:24 AM

Prayer isn't what you think it is. All it is really capable of is allowing spiritual entities to interact with you. We have free will and they can only interfere with it if we specifically give them permission.

Praying to God for things is like praying to water.. You can pray to water all you want but its not going to magically hydrate you without you drinking it.

That allowing spiritual entities with you is not a minimal thing.....

I have a hard time with that. I tend to second-guess it, and I'm trying to learn not to.

I would hear "Take your umbrella" and say to myself, oh it's okay, I have one in the car.

And then it would be broken.

Argh...just listen Rose.

GlitterRose 15-07-2021 03:33 PM

On praying for results in the physical world, I guess I kind of view that as treating God like a vending machine.

Me? I see Him as my Dad.
Like, a daughter asks - "Dad, can I borrow the car Friday night?"
''Sure, honey.''
(My real dad, tho terrible cuz we had karma together that got resolved this life,
would always fill it up before giving it to me. Then just bought me a car...nothing fancy...)

I don't pray anymore ---I just talk to God, "Could You BE more amazing?!"
Well, I pray regarding other people needing upliftment and courage...finishing off with, "I dunno why I'm even doing this!
You'll take care of everything perfectly...but people ask for prayers, Ya know?" :tongue:
