(BearingChristaHammer;31630)
Guys while for the most part I do not like calling prayer a skill I think that it is important to understand that not all have the greatest faith to just call upon Jesus and believe in faith. You may, but not everyone has this to begin with. I certainly didn't. It is prudent to say that babes in Christ should seek to be efficient prayers and that those who are great in Christ can lead the way. Yes obviously the Holy Spirit is their as your Prayer Warrior and intercessor to the Father, but lets be honest there is nothing wrong with admitting that some peoples' prayers are more effective. I know for one that my prayers are extremely effective in spiritual combat, but that I have never had my prayers answered for God to heal somebody.Maybe this was never in God's will, but I have been given the power to always pray and protect against spiritual warfare for others and myself, but I had to learn this first. I had to walk in it a little while and being around others greater than myself truly helped. I have been around people that pray for healing and are very in line with God and their prayers are answered and believe me there is something about witnessing it and being there that gives strength I would otherwise not find on my own. It's safe to say that with faith this is all you need, but not all have that faith and I would rather them immerse themselves with learned and experienced Christians then struggle on their own when it doesn't have to be. I think what his pastor was saying may have some flaws if you really want to tear it all apart, but I think there is some truth to it as I can testify from my own walk.
