You can't pray your problems away. As the old saying goes, the Lord helps those who help themselves. This is important, because God doesn't want you to become dependent on him. However, if you do decide to take matters into your own hands, he will aid you on your journey. Constantine didn't pray for Christianity to become Rome's religion. He marched straight to Rome itself and made it happen, and the Lord bestowed miracles upon him as he fought in Italy. You can't sit on your ass. You have to go out there and get shit done.
you can do both. Pray, and do something
That is a saying, but it doesn't come from the Bible.
God actually wants us to depend entirely on Him.
If you read the ending, there will be great tribulation and all of the Christians will end up killed - so there is that.
Then Jesus comes back.
Tribulation and Armageddon already happened about 1300 years ago. The millennial reign of Christ already happened. Around the year we call 1711 (fake calendar) the 1000 years was finished and Satan was loosed again, allowed to deceive the nations again for a short time. Gog and Magog have been gathered to make war with the camp of the saints and the beloved city. We have roughly 25 years left before Gog Magog is destroyed, Satan thrown into the lake of fire with the beast and the false prophet, and the great white throne of judgement occurs. Blessed are those that endure until the end, they won't have to experience the first nor the second death, but it's not going to be easy.
What was the mark of the beast then?
Who were the two witnesses?
I really want to read up on "the whole world saw their bodies for 3 1/2 days"
Lord does not say that, your dead religious traditions say that
2010 called. They want their edgy atheism back.
Satan is offended GOOD!
Oh I'm hardly religious. I don't attend church as I was raised Catholic. While I prayed, I worked for you...for all for free. 18 years. So I did not rely on prayer. I just said that because this is a religious board, that thinks it was great Lin Wood said to pray. I do pray, but not as the recourse. It is our work on Earth to do...not to pray it away. So there...just so we are clear.
