I'm an 8 year veteran with a degree (I tell all not to make this mistake) and my wife as well. We can't find work since being part of a lay off last September. We have applied to over 100 companies and denied before interview on all but two. I was stood up for an interview twice by the same company and then denied when I applied again.
These are the things against us: White, Christian, Patriots, Unvaxxed.
There are many in worse positions than we are but would really be thankful for prayers on our behalf. Thank you all very much and God bless you!
Praying to anyone other than God/Jesus is breaking one of the 10 commandments and is a slick way the Catholic church has gotten many good hearted Christians to pray to false gods. The various "Saints" were added to mimic the pantheon of Pagan gods.
Catholics don't pray to anyone other than God. They don't pray to Saints. Just as OP asks people to pray for him and his wife, Catholics ask Saints to pray for them.
Talking to the dead and asking them to do things for you is praying to them.
This isn't talking to the dead, like necromancy or seances. We believe that anyone that believes in Jesus as Savior has eternal life with God in heaven. They are not dead, just their physical bodies on earth. Their spirits are still alive. That's what eternal life means.
Asking someone to pray for you is not praying to them. OP is not praying to us when he asks for prayers.
Show me in the bible an example of Jesus telling his disciples to do what you are saying?
Jesus talks with the dead Moses and Elijah during the transfiguration Matthew 17:1-3 1-And after six days Jesus taketh unto him Peter and James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into a high mountain apart: 2 And he was transfigured before them. And his face did shine as the sun: and his garments became white as snow. 3- And behold there appeared to them Moses and Elias talking with him Also Mark 9:2–3, Luke 9:28–36
We are instructed to pray for others, which is intercession. We do not replace Jesus as mediary. We function as subordinate mediaries. James 5:16 16-Confess therefore your sins one to another: and pray one for another, that you may be saved. For the continual prayer of a just man availeth much.
We are all God's children, in heaven and on earth, death does not separate God's family. We remain connected through Him and His love for us. Ephesians 3:14-15 14-For this cause I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, 15 Of whom all paternity in heaven and earth is named, Romans 8:38-39 38-For I am sure that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor might, 39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
God is the God of the living in heaven and on earth Luke 20:36-38 38-Neither can they die any more: for they are equal to the angels, and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection. 37 Now that the dead rise again, Moses also shewed, at the bush, when he called the Lord, The God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob; 38 For he is not the God of the dead, but of the living: for all live to him.
Heaven rejoices with even one sinner repenting, suggesting that the angels and saints in heaven can hear our prayers and they can pray for us Luke 15:10 10-I say to you, that even so there shall be joy in heaven upon one sinner that doth penance, more than upon ninety-nine just who need not penance.
