Today is day three of our mass indoctrination where bro Eli teach us about prayer and how we should call upon God.
1 John 4:1. My dear friends, do not believe all who claim to have the Spirit, but test them to find out if the spirit they have comes from God. For many false prophets have gone out everywhere.
2 Peter 2:1-2. False prophets appeared in the past among the people, and in the same way false teachers will appear among you. They will bring in destructive, untrue doctrines, and will deny the Master who redeemed them, and so they will bring upon themselves sudden destruction.2. Even so, many will follow their immoral ways; and because of what they do, others will speak evil of the Way of truth.
Two thousand years ago, even when the apostle was still alive false prophet has already arise and the bible can support this claim. False prophet are false teachers of the doctrine, they teach what God did not ordained, they misled the people of God with there false teachings infact they teach for there own benefit and not to win souls to the kingdom of God. As Christian we should be vigilant of them and flew so that they won't corrupt us and make us turn away from God.
Proverb 15:8. The LORD is pleased when good people pray, but hates the sacrifices that the wicked bring him.
*Matthew 5-7 *When you pray, do not be like the hypocrites! They love to stand up and pray in the houses of worship and on the street corners, so that everyone will see them. I assure you, they have already been paid in full.6. But when you pray, go to your room, close the door, and pray to your Father, who is unseen. And your Father, who sees what you do in private, will reward you.7. When you pray, do not use a lot of meaningless words, as the pagans do, who think that their gods will hear them because their prayers are long.
God disliked the prayer of the wicked people, there prayers are like noise unto him, he want us to repent from our evil ways and follow him, prayer is a doctrine that we must follow and there is how we are suppose to call upon God.
God did not want us to show off when praying like the hypocrites in the Bible every body must not know we are praying before we pray, God want us to bow down to him when praying except when our health did not permit it or when we are in a place we cannot bow down.
If we want to pray to God we should avoid repetitive prayer and using the rosary to pray is a sin. According to Catholic history the rosary came into existence in 1214 after the apostle has died which is around 1200 years ago. The rosary was not given by God and anything that is not from God is not permitted by God to be used for prayer. When praying we should go straight to the answer and tell God what we need. There is a saying that one word is enough for the wise our God is a wise God so one word is enough.
1 Corinthians 11:5. And any woman who prays or proclaims God's message in public worship with nothing on her head disgraces her husband; there is no difference between her and a woman whose head has been shaved.
Every woman must have a covering over her head when praying the covering is a sign of authority and that she is under a man but a man should not have a covering over his head because he is not under any human but God.
