Points
are shared on the GODhead, and how divinity may hear and respond to
multiple expressions and prayers from the living. Mature Christian
believers agree that GOD is a spirit who appears through active presence, person and purpose,
yet, is not limited to form or process that is carnal, material and
social. Sacred order and the divine Word establish, and further oneness
and relationship to divinity through diverse aspects of utterance.
Included are law, praise, prayer, promise, and prophecy. Existing as spirit,
Deity may continue as immutable, omnipresent, unbounded, and
unchanging. Christ dying upon the cross comes into view for his
followers as an appearance of divine fullness that combines life, death,
flesh, Spirit, things seen, and things unseen. Consider the following
from the Scriptures, and the presentation below:
1st Corinthians 8: 6, King James Version (KJV): 6 But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.
1st John 2: 22-24, KJV:
22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is
antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son. 23 Whosoever denieth
the Son, the same hath not the Father: [but] he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.
24 Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the
beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain
in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father.
Romans 8: 26-28, 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. 28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
1st Corinthians 12: 12-14, KJV: 12 For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ. 13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. 14 For the body is not one member, but many.
Mark 14: 32-36, KJV:
32 And they came to a place which was named Gethsemane: and he saith
to his disciples, Sit ye here, while I shall pray. 33 And he taketh
with him Peter and James and John, and began to be sore amazed, and to
be very heavy; 34 And saith unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful
unto death: tarry ye here, and watch. 35 And he went forward a little,
and fell on the ground, and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour
might pass from him. 36 And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible unto thee; take away this cup from me: nevertheless not what I will, but what thou wilt.

How does God handle billions of prayers coming in to Him simultaneously?
Let's
its easter and everyone is praying. God could easily receive a billion
prayers from people asking for stuff within a hour. Do He got a huge
switchboard up there ih heaven?
THE
GOLDEN ARROW: A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her
hour is come: but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she
remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the
world. And ye now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again, and
your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you. And in
that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you,
Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it
you. Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall
receive, that your joy may be full. These things have I spoken unto you
in proverbs: but the time cometh, when I shall no more speak unto you
in proverbs, but I shall shew you plainly of the Father. At that day ye
shall ask in my name: and I say not unto you, that I will pray the
Father for you: For the Father himself loveth you, because ye have
loved me, and have believed that I came out from God. (John 16: 21-27,
KJV)

“Larry
Fine”, to correctly understand the accomplishment of the peculiar unity
for Creation provided by Jesus Christ dying upon the cross requires sacred knowledge
that is recognized and retained through operations of an imparted
Spirit from the makeup of GOD. Mature Christian believers trust that,
despite time and space, through operations of the Holy Spirit, blood and
truth from the cross are flowing to here and now. Through revelation,
divinity appears using things that now exist, once existed, and are
promised will exist to become knowable and known by created beings and
living creatures. Finite intellect operates by acknowledging measurable
dimensions, discrete characteristics, and orientation within frameworks
of time and space. Classification and differentiation are promoted
(i.e., comparison, contrast, and separation). In the priesthood of
Jesus Christ, however, sacred operations appear whereby divinity
fulfills eternal purposes that center in permanent change, completion,
joining, making whole, and unifying. Oneness may exist without
sameness, thus, sacred operations appear such as atonement, confession,
covenant, inheritance, rebirth, sanctification, substitution, and
transformation. Given the absence of such features as competition,
malice, exaggerated pride and selfishness. prayer among believers
demonstrates accord, agreement and diversity (rather than conflict or
change). Saying this in language from the Bible, consider the
following:
(1.) Ephesians 4: 4-6, King James Version (KJV): 4 There is
one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your
calling; 5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism, 6 One God and Father of
all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.
(2.) Colossians 1: 19-22, KJV: 19 For it pleased the Father
that in him should all fulness dwell; 20 And, having made peace
through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto
himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven. 21 And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your
mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled 22 In the body of his
flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and
unreproveable in his sight:
(3.)
Romans 8: 5-9, KJV: 5 For they that are after the flesh do mind the
things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of
the Spirit. 6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. 7 Because the carnal mind is
enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither
indeed can be. 8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the
Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of
Christ, he is none of his.
(4.)
Ephesians 1: 17-21, KJV: 17 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ,
the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and
revelation in the knowledge of him: 18 The eyes of your understanding
being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and
what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, 19 And
what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe,
according to the working of his mighty power, 20 Which he wrought in
Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places,
21 Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and
every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which
is to come:
There
is far more to be said, understood, and spiritually apprehended. (For
example, (5.) Ephesians 1: 9-11, KJV: 9 Having made known unto us the
mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath
purposed in himself: 10 That in the dispensation of the fulness of
times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which
are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him: 11 In whom
also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to
the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own
will:) Even so, I trust this fragment will be useful. Be it unto you
according to your faith.
