Father, help us see past our differences and bind us together in the bonds of love. Help us to see and understand what each and every one of us has found in you that the whole might be benefited. In Jesus name. Amen.

Is there an added benefit to typing a prayer and posting it online? Besides others seeing it.

Do you often just start praying during a normal conversation with someone?

If a prayer bothers you, perhaps you need to ask yourself deeper questions.

I pray when I feel the Spirit bid me to pray. And yes, I have interrupted conversations with prayer when I felt the Spirit bid me. Lately, it's been more like, "Father, help me understand my children and not want to ring their little necks!" lol

Doesn't bother me. I just think it's odd some people feel the need to post their prayer publicly to show others.

To each his own.

How about when they post pictures of themselves with tears eyes?

Re: Apostoic worship??

Also, while the doubters, mockers, and nay-sayers on this thread don't believe in "soaking" in anything because their God is merely conceptualized, the ancient Greek Christians believed in the "dunamis" or "power" (later defined as "energies") of God. It emanates from His being (and so is a part of Himself) and indeed soaks individuals, stone tablets, bones, places, and even the clothes individuals might wear, with divine power. This power was the residual power that was resident in Elisha's bones that healed a dead man upon his being thrown upon them, the same power that was activated by faith and departed from Christ when the woman with an issue of blood touched the hem of his garment, the same residual power that fell on those in Peter's shadow leaving a wake of healing and deliverance, the same power that was unleashed by the words of Peter upon the lame man at the gate of the temple, and the same residual power that was present in the very aprons worn by Paul.

So many in Pentecost are becoming so "intellectualized"... I predict we'll see an increasing absence of healings, tongues, interpretations, visions, deliverances, and miracles as time passes. They have a form of godliness... but deny the "power" thereof.

To soak in the very presence of God is to be filled with His Spirit, to actually partake in the divine nature, and to be imbued with His power. If truly put into practice, one will be conformed into the image and likeness of Christ Himself, not their own personal theology or denomination. One will also see their experience with God become alive as their prayer life becomes filled with faith and power. I encourage any who partakes in soaking prayer to journalize their prayer life. You will be amazed at how the power of God is released in your life, and how the very words of your prayers take on new life. You'll stand in awe as you watch the very power of God begin to work a work in your homes, churches, and work places. If you don't believe me, like I said, journalize it. And document your prayers and how God answers them. You'll get a new found understanding of the power of the spoken word when one is "in the Spirit" and how the power of God moves so seamlessly, working in accordance to your faith and the will of God.
