http://samuelclough.com/2009/08/04/demystifying-prayer/ Thoughts and Writings from Samuel Clough Wed, 28 Jul 2010 04:59:06 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 http://samuelclough.com/2009/08/04/demystifying-prayer/comment-page-1/#comment-9280 Holly Campbell Fri, 07 Aug 2009 13:50:16 +0000 http://samuelclough.com/?p=231#comment-9280 This is a great paradigm shift and so helpful, because it makes the reign of the King immanent and not some distant thing that comes out of Greek dualism. We simply come to Him and ask him to show that good triumphs over evil by causing it to happen in the immediate circumstance for which we pray. If Christ said that "the gates of hell will not prevail against the church", then would it not be his pleasure to give us sneak previews of this solid truth? Prayer is a governmental issue! How wonderful. This is a great paradigm shift and so helpful, because it makes the reign of the King immanent and not some distant thing that comes out of Greek dualism.

It is simple and beautiful- a testimony of its truth. I really enjoyed reading your articulation of what I am coming to believe. It is simple and beautiful- a testimony of its truth.
