Lol Yes those who wish to support me have links to Donate to me as I work as an Intercessory Missionary. I am in the Prayer Room 36-40 hours a week praying for the region, nation, government, Church, family, friends and other personal requests. As far as IHOP goes alot of what you will find online is not true at all but im not here to defend the Ministry. As I said in my Email i have studied Orthodoxy for the past few months, since I came to IHOP actually there are a lot of teachings from/on the desert fathers and mystics. In my studies i have heard a lot about the Jesus Prayer so during my contemplative Prayer time i tried it. ans was just wanting to learn some more, I guess im sorry i had asked God Bless sir!
ReplyDeleteAs we said, our advice is to read the whole blog post by post beginning from the oldest and proceeding to the newest post.
ReplyDeleteWas this blog post necessary?
ReplyDeleteYes.
ReplyDeleteDoes it bother you?
Perhaps that's an indicator that it was necessary.
doesn't bother me. It just makes this blog seem childish and petty rather than substantial and worth reading.
ReplyDeleteYou've confirmed the wisdom of the post. Drinklife, we're not here to satisfy your stereotypes. If you don't like the blog, there are millions of others.
ReplyDeletethat's a shame.
ReplyDeleteThere's a serious underlying issue of whether it is legitimate for a 'Latter Rain' Pentecostalist to take up the Jesus Prayer. I.e. we do not take the position that the Jesus Prayer is properly prayed outside the Orthodox Church. That is why we posted the email.
ReplyDeleteThat is not what was communicated. Had that been the message of the post, then it would have been a legitimate response. The post could have been engaging addressing an important topic, instead of a public personal denigration.
ReplyDeleteI suggest a post actually discussing the issue of latter rain Pentecostals praying the Jesus Prayer. Is it only the Jesus Prayer that ought not be prayed outside the Orthodox Church? What about the Lord's Prayer? What about any prayer directed at the Triune God?
You are very peremptory, Drinklife. You have praised one post and harshly criticized a second post. We hadn't realized that you were the final authority for what we post on our blog and how. Please leave the matter alone. We will not be posting any more of your comments.
