'Getting into her message, Moore said there were four things she wanted to tell them in these times of crisis.

Look at what God has already done, she said. "Look at his Word from Genesis to Revelation and think as wide and broad as you can and petition God to show his power," Moore said, the way he did for Abraham, Paul, Silas, Timothy '

therein lies their probelem, they haven't paid attention to what their own bibles say. they don't believe what jesus said.you can't petition god or beg him to change his mind and expect results.
that type of prayer never works and when it fails they attribute it to "god's will".
bulloney!!
the way to successful prayer in outlined in mark 12: 24-26. it works, i can attest to that, yet they are taught in error to ask god for stuff or to do stuff. that is absurd, they just don't understand, why are the pastors in their churches not teaching the word of jesus instead of leading them into the ditch?
this is more blatant error by the well intentioned people who don't think things out but allow " religious leaders" to show the way even when it is in opposition to the teachings of jesus himself.
when you pray imagine you have already recieved the desire you pray for and in due time, in a way which we don't understand, it will come to be.
stop listening to fools and read what jesus said.
mark 12:24-26
kjv please, not those new bibles that change the message and sow seeds of confusion

I don't understand the connection here, Joe. Mark12:24-26 deals with Jesus response to the question of the seven brothers too one wife, and there relation in the afterlife. How do you see this relative to your posting above? I see it as an affirmation that things and positions of the flesh are of no consequence to heavenly things. What's your take on it? Thanks.

When I was back there in seminary school
There was a person there
Who put forth the proposition
That you can petition the Lord with prayer…
Petition the Lord with prayer…
Petition the Lord with prayer…
You cannot petition the Lord with prayer!

Can you give me sanctuary?
I must find a place to hide,
A place for me to hide.

Can you find me soft asylum?
I can't make it anymore
The Man is at the door.

Peppermint, miniskirts, chocolate candy,
Champion sax and a girl named Sandy
There's only four ways to get unraveled —
One is to sleep and the other is travel at dawn.
One is a bandit up in the hills,
One is to love your neighbor till
His wife gets home.

Catacombs,
Nursery bones,
Winter women
Growing stones,
Carrying babies
To the river;
Streets and shoes,
Avenues,
Leather riders
Selling news,
The monk bought Lunch.

He he he, he bought a little.
Yes, he did
Woo!

This is the best part of the trip.
This is the trip, the best part
I really like it.

What'd he say?
Yeah!
Yeah, right!
Pretty good, huh
Huh!
Yeah, I'm proud to be a part of this number!

Successful hills are here to stay,
Everything must be this way.
Gentle streets where people play,
Welcome to the Soft Parade.

All our lives we sweat and save,
Building for a shallow grave.
“Must be something else”, we say
“Somehow to defend this place.”
Everything must be this way,
Everything must be this way, yeah. Aah, yeah!

The Soft Parade has now begun
Listen to the engines hum.
People out to have some fun,
Cobra on my left,
Leopard on my right, yeah.

Deer woman in a silk dress,
Girls with beads around their necks,
Kiss the hunter of the green vest
Who has wrestled before
With lions in the night.

Out of sight!
The lights are getting brighter,
The radio is moaning,
Calling to the dogs.
There are still a few animals
Left out in the yard,
But it's getting harder
To describe sailors
To the underfed.

Tropic corridor,
Tropic treasure,
What got us this far,
To this mild equator?
We need someone or something new,
Something else to get us through, yeah. C'mon!

1st voice 2nd voice 3rd voice
Callin' on the dogs,
Callin' on the dogs,
But it's gettin' harder Callin' on the dogs,
Callin' in the dogs,
Callin' on the dogs,
Callin' on the gods.
You gotta
Meet me Too late, baby!
Shoot a few animals аt the crossroads Too late!
let out in the yard.
But it's getting harder Whoa!
Gotta meet me You’ve done great, hey!
at the edge of town, Having a good time.
You’d better come along
outskirts of the city Let’s fun!
Just you and I
and the evening sky. We are so alone.
Better bring your gun You’d better come along.
You’d better bring your gun.
We’re gonna have some fun! Tropic corridor
Tropic treasure.
“When all else fails,
We can whip the horse's
Eyes and make them sleep
and cry.”

Yes, because the KJV is such a reliable translation of the original text.

This is a subject of much debate but basically for me it boils down to the KJV is based upon older Greek translations that have been proven to contain numerous mistakes. Some of those 'new Bibles' are based upon a 1993 Greek translation that has been shown to be much more accurate to the original manuscripts and texts.

I personally enjoy reading many different versions of a passage. Pray about its meaning and allow the Holy Spirit to guide me to true understanding.
