Some would call this narcissism


T Sm

A few years ago, I saw her and Charlie at a Starbucks in Malibu. After I went home, I prayed for them.

THAT prayer could very well be why she got saved!👏

It has been said that no one comes to know Christ as their savior, except someone prayed for them. I like to think that there is a person out there that is thinking, "No one prayed for me." But, one day when they get to heaven they'll me someone like you, who greets them and says "I was praying for you."


Now, one person considered that T Sm was bragging. To strangers.

What if T Sm was genuinely happy and wanted to share, without considering whether it could be considered as bragging or not?

I checked the channel of T Sm is an empty channel. People around T Sm will hardly be hearing about it because of this comment.

The news if of course the story of Lola Sheen.

Does a Christian have a right to consider God does something because of his prayers (or sufferings) elsewhere?

Sure.

The obvious objection is "God is so big, you are so small, why would he care?" ... that's mistaking divinity for giantism. Whatever the merits or demerits of Agora (and Tim O'Neill argues it is mostly demerits as far as historic accuracy is concerned), it's so philosophically and theologically bad taste. God reaching far up doesn't mean He's distant. God being infinite doesn't mean a distance from the small. Finite persons will at some distance have a difficulty hearing, like at 50 yards, I cannot hear the words of people only their accent (unless they are loud) and in that situation, I can not hear between these two if they are speaking Swedish or Dutch. God being infinite is not that deaf.

Or "God has so many who want His attention, why do you think He'd pick you?" God doesn't pick. We pick on whether we pray or not, God hears everyone who prays, and even the Heathen, and in some cases He finds it correct to give exactly what someone asks for, in some cases something different, in some cases more. And in some cases, later./HGL
