And if for some reason (because there is always a reason) the answer is no, or it doesn't happen at that time, then don't completely give up on prayer, or praying, etc, because most often the most usual reason or will for that is, is that it's going to be revealed as being a part of a greater or higher will/reason/plan later on, or at a different time, etc.

So don't ever not ever pray ever at all ever, even if the answer is sometimes no sometimes, etc.

Because it might just be a part of a much greater plan/will to be revealed at a later time, etc.

Because from our perspective, we do not know what has already been written, and that will not all be revealed to us, until a much, much later time, etc.

God Bless.

Hi there!

I'm not sure that I understand, as I feel that I agree with everything you said except that my ideas are a bit off. lol

I love how you state that even Satan is not "free." We know this from his cameo appearance in the Book of Job. God controlled the Devil, placing a hedge around him to ensure that he, the Devil, doesn't go beyond the orders of God.

That said, there is clear scripture stating that humans are controlled by either their old Sinful Nature, or by their new Divine Nature. This isn't my idea. I wish it was, but it is from the Bible.

Romans 8:9 NLT - "But you are not controlled by your sinful nature. You are controlled by the Spirit if you have the Spirit of God living in you. (And remember that those who do not have the Spirit of Christ living in them do not belong to him at all.)"
