Not too different from the Biblical witness, really. That "There are more things wrought by prayer than this world dreams on" - is still a valid theory.<br /><br />I am now, for instance, convinced that when a person comes to me with a problem, that I should immediately ask if they would like me to pray with that person for God's blessing on their particular situation. This is where the 'priesthood of the laity' - as well as that of the ordained - could be better used for the propagation of the gospel.Father Ronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17062632692873621258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915617830446943975.post-62568641328907756912017-04-02T17:25:29.853+12:002017-04-02T17:25:29.853+12:00For sure and for certain.

While.a youngster in church I did wonder at the miracles talked about and consider if this happened in Church it would be a good thing and that people would want to come then.<br /><br />Now older and well.. older I have been witness to miracles and those which have played a part in people who did not believe in Jesus coming too believe. The root of these were undoubtably prayer. It or they also bought home to me the what it means to be a witness - to witness to God has done that you have literally experienced or been a part of.<br /><br />While we may say all prayer counts not all prayer results in miracles, they come unexpected, but when they do come there is no second guessing, it could have only been God.Jeannoreply@blogger.com
