And when the south wind blows, you say, ‘It’s going to be hot,’ and it is. Hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of the ...read more

If The Date Of Salvation Is Already Fixed By God, Then Why Should I Pray Ha

Contributed by Bala Samson on Jul 15, 2018

The idea, ‘God is anyway going to save the person only in His time’, takes the onus away from intense praying, wrestling in prayer for the unsaved person, intense fasting and also thereby takes away the guilt of prayerlessness.

Genesis 18:32 Then he said, "Oh may the Lord not be angry, and I shall speak only this once; suppose ten are found there?" And He said, "I will not destroy it on account of the ten." 19:24 Then the LORD rained on Sodom ...read more
