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?

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

Re: Retroactive Prayers Anyone??
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.
