Chapter 28

PRAYER AND FASTING

What is prayer and does it work?

Some will swear by it because they do not want to admit where it has failed them, while others will say it’s a waste of time.

Most of the time it's telling god what we need, out of place and could be out of line with destiny and at best controlling because we are not all knowing to see the extent of what destiny can procure, even if at the end the magic words are said; let it be done all in accordance with your will.

This is how silly it is; if everything is according to god's will, because only in this way no one can gain favor above another! Why tell him what to do and what we need. Surely he knows what we deserve? 

It's also for each individual to know whether by praying they harbor a spirit of control!

To be quite clear and up front about it, I used to pray and it has helped me at the initial stages of my awaking for a couple of years or thereabouts and since then all those many years ago because god would no longer let me pray I have not done so. Except very occasionally propably once a year, very short but significant in what I said, because of the spirit and the words he placed in my mouth and this must have been part of destiny that could not be avoided.

The initial stages were important because by praying for those that I hated, god circumcised the heart of stone that I had and went on to change me by showing me how to forgive and to a certain extent go out of my way for them until the spirit said that's enough now.

I was like Paul, I prayed like him more than anyone else, because I prayed both in the gift of tongues and also my own understanding, night and day and possibly while I was sleeping, for the few very short hours that I did in a subconscious sort of way because I would wake up praying. I was so afflicted that I could not sleep very long, pain was everywhere throughout my body with also other afflictions and I thought that if I prayed then nothing could hurt me.

This was obviously not true! Because even after I stopped praying the pain and other afflictions slowly receded and have gone away.

I found out that to get better quickly the best way was to obey the spirit at every opportunity so that change could happen, not only because of the new understanding and the fear it removed but through action that took away the burdens that otherwise would have kept me mired in my present state, and it took time, money and everything else that only the spirit can provide, because he knows how to untangle the past in the only efficient way there is step by step.

When past family members placed burdens of prayer on others, we later become the victims that have to pray and some will have to pray more than others depending on who their ancestors were and how much of their influence was placed upon others to pray and in the manner they should pray; kneeling, arms outstretched, etc.

If we could pray ourselves out of bad situations both the world and those afflicted in so many ways would be healed.

The amount of people that pray every day is absolutely incredible and if only they would spend this time in being active in other ways as the spirit led them in the community, the world would then rejoice but not in the event that they go around preaching or teaching confusion.

Life is not just about forcing god upon other people. There are many aspects to life that we all need and it’s in everything, every subject that has applied knowledge and wisdom in a balanced way.

Knowing the bible by heart does not help us if we don’t understand politics and everything else in life that is relevant, and each one to their part but if possible also other parts of the world with a fine balance.

We all know the suffering that the apostles and early church went through let alone other people during consecutive ages. Paul most of all and many in his time ended up either stoned, crucified, or being killed by lions.

2 Corinthians: 11-23-27 NIV

23 I have worked much harder, been in prison more frequently, been flogged more severely and been exposed to death again and again. 24 Five times I received from the Jews the forty lashes minus one. 25 Three times I was beaten with rods, once I was stoned, three times I was shipwrecked, I spent a night and a day in the open sea, 26 I have been constantly on the move. I have been in dangers from rivers, in danger from bandits, in danger from my own countrymen, in danger from Gentiles; in danger in the city, in danger in the country, in danger at sea; and in danger from false brothers, 27 I have labored and toiled and have often gone without sleep; I have known hunger and thirst and have often gone without food; I have been cold and naked.

1 Corinthians: 4-11-13 NASB

11 To this present hour we are both hungry and thirsty, and are poorly clothed, and are roughly treated, and are homeless 12 and we toil, working with our own hands, when we are reviled, we bless; when we are persecuted we endure; 13 when we are slandered, we try to conciliate; we have become as the scum of the world the dregs of all things even until now.

These scriptures are Paul’s own testimony to the Corinthians and if this is what happens after he prayed more than anyone else, then my way as my destiny gave me to understand is far superior.

Jesus said: Whatever you ask the father in my name, believe that you have received it and it shall be given to you.

I wonder how many have asked and nothing was given? If this was the case how come Paul and the others never received it, surely they had faith enough?

Whenever someone asks and receives, it’s because it's meant to happen. The fact that it was prayed for does not alter the other fact that we cannot receive something for nothing, unless the right time has arrived and therefore warranted.

Those that the spirit refrains from praying don’t be fearful even if you feel oppressed and heavy, because all that’s happening is that you are being tried and tested to see whether you have the faith to overcome it.

The principalities and powers in high places that Paul felt the oppressive presence of, as he moved from one place to another and thought that he could remove by prayer, is the spirit working through people in various roles of evil and in high places within a city or nation and it’s through our actions by knowing better that we will remove their presence.

The principality and powers in the way that Paul was shown, are not evil living entities that fly above nations and will fall to the ground when they are brought down, but explained as above and they will be brought down crashing to earth in one hour, one day, as judgment falls relayed by truth for the better.

Nothing can be removed without change and only action when knowing that it's wrong and not prayer will remove it.

Please spend your time wisely as the spirit leads.

There are those that pray all day long but don’t go out in the world to give help and understanding to those that need it.

Educating the masses in every way possible is what will lead to our salvation and length of life.

The old system of prayer has not worked up to now and never will because what goes around comes around and no amount of prayer can stop it.

Those that try to bind evil in the name of Jesus, in the eyes of those who are wiser and can see between the right and wrong in the world, look helplessly on those practicing this and while they are doing it know that evil is taking them for a ride and having a good laugh about it, because imagine if it was possible all evil would stop instead it goes on relentlessly.

All that they are doing by hype are stirring up the people into a useless frenzy.

Wasting time and money while on satellite air time with nothing better to do because they lack the understanding to not do it.

The more lack of common sense we become involved in, the more later will reproduce.

Romans:12-2 KJV

Be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind.

Everything changes for the better when our minds are capable of logic that stands up. Any old thing will not do if all it does is deceives.

Please learn not to follow blindly, always weigh up with careful foresight where it will lead.

The only times and places that commanding evil to be still and quiet in the name of Jesus and it will work, is when the evil manifesting is meant to stop at that precise moment. Otherwise imagine what we would be capable of? Even the spirit does not have this authority to use as he pleases, otherwise there would be no justice and true destiny would then not be able to run it's course. The system that those above have put in place would then fail. 

In our father Jesus said: Let it be done on earth as it’s done in heaven.

Another reference to the existence of the same rules between the earth and those above us in higher realms.

How can it be possible that upon death, we imagine or believe that we enter heaven and live amongst them at their level, when it has taken them millennium's to be at their stage of development?

It is now accepted and established in major Christian circles that the literal sense of all the bible is wrong. How much of it though!

Galileo, Charles Darwin, Joan of Ark were all proved right in the end, but not before Galileo was persecuted and incarcerated, Charles Darwin discredited and made a laughing stock and Joan of Ark burned at the stake, with myriads of others tortured, jailed, or killed for their true beliefs and someone later had to pay the price for this! Will we now see the harm and wrong in this, amend our ways and not suffer the same fate and consequences on the rebound.

FASTING

I also used to fast: By this I mean that I used to take it seriously with total abstinence.

Serious to the extent that whether it was one day, three, seven, eleven, twenty one or forty, it was done and more than once.

After ending a forty day period without food, two weeks later went on to do another forty days.

Praying and fasting will remove mountains but only in our own lives as in my case because of the burdens we carry and done for a time without ever imposing it on others. Each one has their own destiny and needs to take care of it in their own way, with the god that was created or that they have created at the helm.

It can work in such a way as remove excess fat if overweight, renewing the body and create faith to overcome when we are one of those that are going to be used in ways that requires great faith by also altering the mind.

It is not for those that want to shed weight for the sake of it because otherwise you will feel hungry.

When normal people eat less because it has entered their thought, this is also meant to be. And after they shed weight they then go on to create so many different diet plans that will not work for everyone.

One thing in understanding what's good for us to eat and totally another in whether destiny will allow us to eat it.

The same with all the positive thinking that people come up with in life but how many can live up to it.

Please understand that destiny could not impose it upon us if going without food was not warranted because of the way our governments and forefathers first imposed it on others, animals and humans alike.

Why we don’t feel hungry if that is the case it’s because I was led to give money and food to others who were struggling and in that way rebalance the wrong, but in all fairness only god knows for certain the finer details.

All symptoms regarding eating with its disorders are tied to the past and destiny.

Most deformities before the motor vehicle or steam took over were due to the fact that because of war or other reasons animals and humans alike, not only lost limbs but were abused in such a way that affected their health and the same was returned upon those later that inflicted it, not excluding their descendants.

It still happens today, but fetuses wherever ultrasonic scans are available are now aborted.

Always remember that when praying or fasting for others by the laying of hands or in any other way and the miracle happens it's because it's meant to happen and at times only in this way can it be achieved because once the practice was put in place by those before it will then be the only way that it can be dealt with until we can slowly distance ourselves from it and very, very important that we are led by the spirit at all times and refrain when necessary, otherwise we will never distance ourselves.

Miracles when time and everything has run its course do happen by themselves. 

How often have we heard said by others; I had this growth or woke up etc, and it was no longer there, the doctors said there was no longer any hope but there is no trace of the cancer. It's things that go away naturally without knowing how but the leg will not replace itself because we don't believe it can or because we are meant to be in this state throughout life.

Miracles happen in normal life if they are meant to, and not always to those that believe in god. Limbs sight and many other abnormalities would mend themselves but don't happen at the right time because we don't believe in principle that god will do it for us and many problems that could be righted we end up taking to the grave with us.
