Today,
reply is on the practice of prayer among divinity, and the mediators
within the Godhead who intercede on behalf of Creation and mankind.
Through the covenant with Moses, divinity agreed not to speak to
mankind again using an audible voice, and to exchange and interact
with mankind using spokespersons (prophets). Mankind shares many
things with Deity, yet, may not appear before divine fullness (we
also say, the Godhead; the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit) as
an equal, or as one having the same authority, dominion, glory,
majesty, sacred knowledge, and sovereignty. Within the
Godhead as well as on the earth, both Jesus Christ and the Holy
Spirit appear and intercede representing finite mankind. Sinners who
have returned to GOD through the priesthood of Christ, who willingly
serve the Lord, and who also await his coming, now are being examined
in the on-going sacred judgment to grant eternal life, and are being
provided with fresh endowments from GOD for their transformation to
exist as the immortal companions of divinity. It is written: 1st
John 2: 1-2, King James Version (KJV): 1 My little children, these
things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have
an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: 2 And he is
the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for
the sins of the whole world. A fighter in the “Yahoo!

If
Jesus Christ is God, then why was he praying to God the Almighty?
Only One is Hearer of prayer.Psalms 65:2?
THE
GOLDEN ARROW: Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and
vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the
world, and not after Christ. For in him dwelleth all the fulness of
the Godhead bodily. And ye are complete in him, which is the head of
all principality and power: In whom also ye are circumcised with the
circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins
of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ: Buried with him in
baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith
of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead. And you,
being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he
quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;
Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which
was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his
cross; And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made
a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it. (Colossians 2:
8-15, KJV)

“Friend”,
having authentic humanity, Jesus Christ prayed to divinity regarding
his own sacred priesthood on the earth whereby the Savior confessed
the sin of mankind, and of those who came to him; offered glory,
praise and thanksgiving to GOD; and requested comfort, edification,
guidance, and strength to complete his sacred mission. As the Son of
the Father, Jesus Christ prayed to divinity being a mediator for
mankind who also was using human flesh, and observing the limits
posed through mortality that include mechanical and natural law. In
accord with the atonement and propitiation for sin accomplished by
Christ as a High Priest in heaven, the Holy Spirit also prays for
mankind as a mediator who now operates through the inseparable
aspects of divine fullness that are displayed by those belonging to
Jesus Christ. Included are faith, holiness, longsuffering,
lovingkindness, oneness without sameness, personhood, wisdom, and
wrath against sin. Among Christian believers prayer is made to
accomplish various aspects of eternal purpose, and is not merely to
express human emotions, or petition for the unmet needs of those in
the flesh. Through prayer one displays their own divine content and
indwelling spirit that has acceptance and oneness within the Godhead.
Consider again the following that uses language from the Bible, and
a presentation from the music ministry of John Michael Talbot:
1.
Isaiah 55: 6-11, King James Version (KJV): 6 Seek ye the LORD
while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near: 7 Let the
wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and
let him return unto the LORD, and he will have
mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. 8 For
my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your
ways my ways, saith the LORD. 9 For as
the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than
your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. 10 For as the rain
cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but
watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may
give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: 11 So shall my word
be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me
void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall
prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
2.
Hebrews 7: 24-27, KJV: 24 But this man, because he
continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood. 25 Wherefore he is
able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him,
seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them. 26 For such an
high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled,
separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens; 27 Who
needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice,
first for his own sins, and then for the people’s:
for this he did once, when he offered up himself. 28 For the law
maketh men high priests which have infirmity; but the word of the
oath, which was since the law, maketh the Son, who is
consecrated for evermore.
3.
Romans 8: 26-27, KJV: 26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our
infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought:
but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which
cannot be uttered. 27 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what
is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for
the saints according to the will of God.
There
is far more that should be said, correctly examined, and spiritually
apprehended (for example, 4.

Even so, I trust this fragment will be useful. Be it unto you
according to your faith.
