Why PRAY?
If GOD YHSHWH can do anything HE wants to do, why does HE need us
to ask HIM to do something? If HE is not affected by us, and cannot be manipulated by us,
Why PRAY?
Why is PRAYER necessary?
GOD YHSHWH is sovereign. HE could just ignore our PRAYER and do whatever HE wants to do.
Can PRAYER really affect HIM?
____________
The two words that make PRAYER necessary
Are “…let them…”
Genesis 1:26
And God saith,
`Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness, and let them
have dominion/rule over fish of the sea, and over fowl of the heavens, and over cattle,
and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that is creeping
on the earth.’
HE didn’t SAY let us have dominion/rule. HE took HIMSELF out
of HIS PEOPLE’S dominion rule and whatever YH’SHWH SAYS is LAW
and HE cannot change HIS MIND.
Not only is HIS WORD – LAW to us, but HIS WORD is LAW to HIM.
That is why GOD YHSHWH will not interfere here on earth without us, HIS BODY.
____________
GOD YHSHWH is SPIRIT. Humans are spirits in a body of dirt.
HE SAID, “…let them have dominion/rule…over all the earth…”
We are the only creature given GOD’S legal RIGHT to function with HIS GIVEN AUTHORITY.
Any spirit without a body of “dirt” is illegal here on earth, by GOD YHSHWH’S WORD/LAW.
So, from Genesis to Revelation, GOD YHSHWH has CHOSEN to use humans to accomplish
HIS WORK – HIS WORD – HIS LAW here on earth.
Is GOD YHSHWH weak?
Is HE not ALMIGHTY, ALL POWERFUL, OMNIPOTENT, or OMNICIENT?
Yes, but HE will not violate HIS OWN WORD – HIS LAW.
____________
HE did not interfere when the first man and woman sinned.
satan used the “dirt” body of a snake to interfere in their lives.
GOD YHSHWH PROMISED satan that through the woman’s seed, HE, YHSHWH, would come
in a legal body of “dirt” and crush satan’s head.
HE would REDEEM the humans from the “death” they had been tempted into.
____________
PRAYER is humans, in their dirt bodies, submitting their dominion to GOD YHSHWH
so that HE can interfere in earth’s affairs.
MT 18:18-20
Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound
in HEAVEN: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed
in HEAVEN. Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth
as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of MY FATHER
which is in HEAVEN. For where two or three are gathered together in MY NAME,
there am I in the midst of them.
Again, GOD YHSHWH will not even heal the sick, directly. HE will use a human
to SPEAK HIS WORD and/or just to TOUCH others for HIM to heal through that human.
EX 3:7-10
And the LORD said (to MOSES), I have surely seen the affliction of MY PEOPLE which are in
Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows;
And I AM come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up
out of that land unto a good land and a large, unto a land flowing with milk and honey;
unto the place of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites,
and the Hivites, and the Jebusites.
Now therefore, behold, the cry of the children of ISRAEL is come unto ME: and I have also
seen the oppression wherewith the Egyptians oppress them. Come now therefore,
and I will send thee unto Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring
forth MY PEOPLE the children of ISRAEL out of Egypt.
Couldn’t GOD YHSHWH have done it without MOSES?
Can GOD YHSHWH move/go against HIS WORD/LAW?
EX 14:14-16
The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace. And the LORD said unto Moses,
Wherefore criest thou unto ME? speak unto the children of ISRAEL, that they go forward:
But lift thou up thy rod, and stretch out thine hand over the sea,
and divide it: and the children of ISRAEL shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea.
Then,
EX 14:26-30
And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand over the sea, that the waters
may come again upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots, and upon their horsemen.
And Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to his strength
when the morning appeared; and the Egyptians fled against it; and the LORD overthrew
the Egyptians in the midst of the sea.
And the waters returned, and covered the chariots, and the horsemen, and all the host
of Pharaoh that came into the sea after them; there remained not so much as one of them.
But the children of Israel walked upon dry land in the midst of the sea;
and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left.
But, even though HE WORKS through us, WHO gets the CREDIT – the GLORY?
Thus the LORD saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians;
and Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the sea shore.
____________
GOD YHSHWH will only MOVE/WORK through HIS PEOPLE – HIS HUMANS.
HE will act through HIS SPIRIT in HIS SUBMISSIVE BODY, on earth,
without going against HIS WORD/LAW; “…let them (humans) have dominion…”
2CHRON 7:14
If MY PEOPLE, which are called by MY NAME, shall humble themselves, and PRAY,
and seek MY FACE, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from HEAVEN,
and will FORGIVE their sin, and will heal their land.
PRAY consistently.
The moment ONE stops PRAYING, ONE stops the connection to GOD YHSHWH in HEAVEN.
PRAYER is humans, in their “dirt” bodies, SUBMITTING their dominion to GOD YHSHWH
so that HE can interfere in earth’s affairs.
LOVE, RICOEL
Without man – GOD will not.
Without GOD – man cannot.
