God in us.
God present.
… and then, looking at what is preached, I wonder … who is this God?
Is it the same God that Isaiah prophesied in Isaiah 7:14?
Is it the same God quoted in Matthew 1:23 and Luke 1:35 when the prophecy was about to be fulfilled?
Is it the same God who promised never to leave nor forsake us in Hebrews 13:5?
Let me be the 1st one to admit that I cannot pray a near perfect prayer.
In my pre-relationship days I tried. Moving from the conservative protestant to the Pentecostal and Charismatic denominations, I also moved from praying in one way as taught to praying in another way as taught by man.
Most of us do not realize that we pray according to what we were taught and the examples that we got and are still getting. Our prayers are learned behavior emanating from mostly indoctrinated and conditioned thinking and conduct.
Praying is not what we think
