To whom do you pray ? Or to which God
do you pray ?
Because there are so many gods in the
world, and everyone believes that their god is the right and true
god, therefore it is of great importance for you to know to which God
you are praying.
Some people pray to Yahweh, others pray
to Jehovah, Allah, Krishna and numerous other gods.
Christian people are no different, they
pray through Jesus to a god called Yahweh or Jehovah whom they call
Father, and then they say a formula, 'in Jesus name'.
Others pray to the dead saints and to
the holy mother of god (Mary).
Therefore the question remains, to whom
do you pray ?
Which one of all those gods do you
think is going to listen to your prayer ?
Which one has ears to hear ?
In the Scriptures, the Lord Jesus
Christ said, “When you pray, say, “Our Father who art in heaven,
Holy be thy Name …...” (Matthew 6:9 and Luke 11:2).
WHICH name is Holy ?
Is the name Yahweh Holy ? Or is the
name Jehovah Holy ? What about 'Allah', is his name Holy ? Or the
mother of Jesus, Mary, is her name Holy?
Those are all names of gods whom
churches and individuals worship and keep Holy.
Throughout all the ages are people and
church denominations who believe that 'Son' is a name, or 'Father' is
a name and even 'God' and 'Holy Spirit' are names.
I think it is impossible for anyone
with that kind of assumption to understand anything of the
Scriptures.
The Lord Jesus Christ said, when you
pray, you ought to pray to your Father and keep His NAME Holy.
The Name of the Father is 'JESUS' !
(John 17:6)
If the Lord Jesus Christ is NOT your
Father, then He also is NOT your God, and you will pray to one of
those gods who are NOT God.
If you pray to Jehovah, Allah, Yahweh,
Mary or any titles of deity's, they surely CANNOT hear you.
Only the Lord Jesus Christ the creator
of heaven and earth, who is our Lord and God and Father can and will
hear our prayers.
(Rev. 4:8) the four living creatures
unceasingly say, “HOLY, HOLY, HOLY is the Lord God, THE ALMIGHTY,
WHO WAS AND IS AND IS TO COME.”
(Rev. 4:10 – 11) the twenty four
elders will worship Him who lives forever and ever. So be it !
