Retroactive Prayers Anyone??
 

I heard of this a few years ago and thought it strange then and recently a minister made mention again.


The premise is that God is not bound by time so prayers that we pray today can "prevent" what might have been. It's a real mind bender, for sure!


While service is in progress we hear someone we know is in an accident - no details. We pray and "feel confirmation in the Spirit" that God is working in that situation. Then are told that even if there were no serious injuries - that in it'self may have been prevented by prayers offered after the fact. God is not bound by time/space.


What do you think?

I am sure God can do anything but how does He handle all the resulting paradoxes which can, will, or have occurred?

I don't know how to answer that. God CAN do anything. Whether our prayers are effective or not, we have no way of really knowing. When I hear sirens I pray not even knowing the situation. I know God does know, however.

I knew some folks,who had a granddaughter and they said everytime the Spirit moved on her,she could tell if someone would be involved in a carwreck.

Maybe she was causing them ?? Hmmmm...

No joke one time her parents were out of town and they were planning on coming home late,anyways the grandparents asked their granddaughter was it safe for her parents to return home.
