The frameworks of time and space, mortality, and prayer are considered, today. The fighter at “Yahoo! Answers” using the ID “Methane Mamma” (Level 7 with 64,960 points, a member since November 02, 2010) posted the following thrust to “stump” believers:
Christians, if your God exists outside space and time, how can it hear your prayers?
THE GOLDEN ARROW: Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men. But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? (2nd Peter 3: 3-12, KJV)
THE DOUBLE DAGGER: Prayer Behavior? (04/07/2015); How GOD Answers Prayer? (01/09/2015); Prayer, Dreams and Messages? (01/27/2015); GOD and The Framework of Time (09/20/2014); About Knowing the Name of GOD (09/21/2014); Time Before the Sun? (04/14/2013); The Obedience of Jesus? (04/15/2013)
“Methane Mamma”, the GOD you have been carefully asking and learning about for so long both hears and answers prayer. While the topics of human devotions and prayer may include carnal, material, and social concerns along with emotions, fears, needs and desires, the content, process, and substance of prayer is entirely “spirit” engaging Spirit. The believer who prays appears in the full sacred presence through the person of Jesus Christ; and through his ministry and service as our High Priest, prayer becomes a “doing of the word” within the Temple of the heaven, and the ministry of Christ upon the earth. Consider again the following:
(1.) The frameworks of time and space have been provided through the operations of divine law; are not obstacles to divinity; and constitute mechanisms to manage finite data and information about and from the physical environment itself as well as the objects (including the living) it may contain by acknowledging relation (e.g., attachment, dimension, distance, juxtaposition).
(2.) Sacred knowledge pertains to entities, operations and purposes that are independently endless, eternal, immortal and permanent.
(3.) Prayer exists as communication within an intimate relationship to Deity through multiple aspects of living person that exist both within the Creator and the created. Included must be faith, holiness, longsuffering, love, righteousness, wisdom, and wrath against sin.
There is far more to be said, correctly understood, and spiritually taken into account. (For example, (4.) Believers also are using prayer to prepare for the coming of Jesus to harvest the earth. In the figure of Passover, the blood from the body of Jesus released at his crucifixion must travel across time and space to cover us, here, today. To correctly know and understand this, the living must endure a rebirth wherein consciousness concerning the things from GOD will be altered; yet, the spheres of life will appear to continue as though unchanged. At the coming of Jesus, mortality will be ended, and the total purification, sanctification and transformation of mankind will be revealed. There will be renewal on a cosmic scale that includes the heaven, the earth and the universe.) Even so, I trust this fragment will be useful. Be it unto you according to your faith, sacred knowledge, and spiritual maturity.
