People who do not pray are not serious about God nor their soul's salvation. Prayer is a way to communicate with God and it is the lifeline from God to man. God has blessed us with the miracle of the NEW BIRTH. People of all walks of life pray and worship something or someone in hope of something in return. Some people pray to the moon in hope of a great harvest. They call it "a harvest moon;" if you did not plant any seeds, you ought not look for a harvest. People deceive themselves when they plant (do) evil and expect to harvest (receive) goodness. You reap what you sow. Some people pray and worship the many gods of this world. Mammon (money) is a god of great power for those who possess it, and they are consumed by the lust of the flesh. Because of their lust for great possessions and the pride of life; money can be more of a curse than a blessing. There are those who will kill for the love of money. So many people have lost their lives chasing the dollar. When you love money more than your soul, you will self-destruct. Selfishness and Greed is a sin that will consume you. People will do any thing for money; it's a driving force in the world of today. Be careful for what you ask of God, you might get it. But don't let money and prosperity be the only thing that you ask for. You must be concerned about your soul's salvation. If you are going to be saved, it will be through prayer and faith in Jesus Christ. You can not make a wish and your sins go a way. You must confess your sins and be born again. In the bible (KJV), the new birth is the miracle that Christ taught about, in St. John 3:3, "Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." When you are born again, you are passed from death (the physical) unto life (the spiritual). God plants His incorruptible seed in you so that you can be a child of God. We were all born in sin, "you are not a sinner because you sin; you sin because you are a sinner." God loves the repentant soul; when you repent, God responds to your prayer. God knows your heart and He is able to forgive you and save you. You must trust God for your MIRACLE of the New Birth! The new birth is a spiritual birth and it is as real the natural birth. You must understand this: The first birth is of the seed of man ( a natural birth) and the second birth is of the Seed of God (a spiritual birth). The new birth is the only way to be saved. The new birth is received only by accepting Jesus Christ as your personal Savior. When Jesus Christ comes into your life, you will receive a Spiritual Resurrection by the power of the Holy Spirit...
