For as long as I can remember there has been conflict between science and religion. Science likes to its findings on facts when religion bases hers on faith or acceptance of what God says. Of course there are different religions in this world and therefore different kinds of prayers, but nonetheless, the quest or curiosity for an answer in the realm of prayer and its effects on our lives, determined scientists to conduct clinical trials to see if those effects are true.
According to the findings done by Harvard, Yale, and other universities, proves that prayer makes a difference in our health. At the end of this article I am going to give you the link to this website to read for yourself what they found.
They have proved that from enzymes, cells, cancer mutation, cardiac arrest frequency, and more have proved to change after one received prayer.
Others found that when they prayed for the water, the chemical structure of water has changed.
It is true. Prayer changes things. Now, it is also true that we do not always see everything happening automatically, but nevertheless, prayer does work. The Bible says in the New Testament that Jesus encouraged us to pray and believe we received wehn we pray and then we SHALL have the thing we asked for. James of course he says that if we ask selfishly then we will not receive, but he definitely says that if we do not have something is because we do not ask. The apostle John says that if we ask anything according to His will, we are master over that thing. So, what is the secret to getting what youy prayed for? Pray without desiring to waste things on yourself and ask according to God's will. Now, I mentioned this in a previous article that if you spend time with Jesus and you become His friend, eventually you will start thinking and acting like Him. It is natural for a kid to act and behave and think liek his parents after a while. His parents attitude and thinking/believes will rub of on a child eventually.
So, it is with God. We are His children. We are family. So, eventually we will think like Him and want things He wants. Then it will be natural to ask things He wants. You do not have to torment yourself with the question, " Have I really asked accordign to His will?
Prayer works. Jesus often times encouraged people to pray and NOT GIVE UP! Now that is a hard thing for us to do: keep going. We live in the fast food world mentality and we want it now or we " will sue". I understand that your loved one having cancer doesn't have time tpo WAIT for the answer. I agree. God doesn't want to answer that prayer either in 20 years. when does the sick person need healing? When he or she is sick. If that is today then the healing we need is TODAY. Jesus already paid for your healing. If he paid then satan getting you sick is stealing your health. It doesn't belong to him if someone already paid for it. So, you need to get it back because rightfully is already yours. Jesus bought you and your health back. You were under satan' s rule before, but now you belong to Jesus. So does your health.
God doesn't give sickness and He is not teaching you something through it. Please check out Curry Blake through your search engine to learn more. Also, Revival or Riots can teach all of us something.
We need to not give up, but pray. Prayer has an ongoing effect ( Power New Testament). As science showed it (and since we only believe when science proves something about God), prayer amazingly changed things in peoples' bodies. The person that received prayer did not even have to be in the same room with the person who was praying and it still affected the sick person's body. And I believe this miracle of prayer doesn't just affect our health, but everything else. We can pray for anything and God will answer. Even more important is to pray out loud. Our words have life or death in them. Not our thinking makes a difference. Out words. Jesus did not say, " Think to the mountain!", but to speak to it.
God created the world with His Words. He spoke, not only thought.
So, pray and speak out loud and see God changing things. Do not give up. Jesus says believe then when you prayed you received or you were told YES. And then wait for it. God is simple. We make life complicated. Faith is simple that is why Jesus calls it a child -like faith. A child believes and doesn't reason and reason until faith is gone. Sometimes our minds are in the way of believing.
Just ask. Just pray. Do not give up. Knock and it SHALL be open. It shall be open not maybe will be open. God cannot wait to answer your prayer because He is glorified when our prayers are answered and you are receiving the benefits. Now that is a good deal!
