James 5:18 And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit.
English “he prayed” emboldened in James 5:18 was translated from Greek verb 4336 proseuchomai that best reflects God’s definition translated into “thou prayest” “to pray” and “pray to” emboldened in Matthew 6:5-6 “And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward” “But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly”. Please read Matthew 6:5-6 and ask yourselves how many of the world’s 4,351 traditional religions or the thousands of other flesh social networks actually follow God’s Matthew 6:5-6 directive? The only reason I can think of for one flesh human being to lead a congregate prayer, is to superimpose the flesh thoughts and feelings of the prayer leader into the flesh congregation. Ask yourself: will God hear and answer prayers that overtly disregard God’s clear and concise Matthew 6:5-6 directive? Contemplate Acts 7:47-49 and Isaiah 66:1-2 “But Solomon built him an house” “Howbeit the most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands; as saith the prophet” “Heaven is my throne, and earth is my footstool: what house will ye build me? saith the Lord: or what is the place of my rest”? “Thus saith the LORD, The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: where is the house that ye build unto me? and where is the place of my rest”? “For all those things hath mine hand made, and all those things have been, saith the LORD: but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word”.
