When I pray to the Father, I do as my Lord directed: in private (Matthew 6:6). That I should pray so (in private, door shut), means I would be speaking out loud... or at least loud enough so that anyone near could hear... else, why the need FOR privacy? Who can hear you speaking "inside" yourself? He didn't tell us to do something HE didn't do, though: HE always prayed to the Father in private. That is why he ALWAYS went AWAY from his disciples WHEN he prayed (a stone's throw away, out on a boat, etc.).


Thank you Shelby. I wasn't speaking of prayer (although that's a jolly good point you made about it there, and I agree.)

Quote:
In speaking to my Lord, however, it is something that I may do out loud OR in silence. Either way, I do not do it with my "lips", technically (although my lips might manifest my efforts, literally): it is "spoken" with every fiber of my being. It does not require outspoken words, though


Sometimes it's out loud but not with your lips; I wonder what that sounds like - it might be scary. lol

Quote:
indeed, sometimes, it doesn't require literal words at all... because sometimes we don't KNOW what words to USE... what to say/ask for. In which case, our SPIRIT "pleads FOR us with words UNUTTERED"... words that can't BE spoken. Romans 8:26 Our spirit... OR blood... pleads... to HIS: his spirit... blood... holy spirit... that is IN us.

The life... OUR life... is in our blood. Christ is the Life; therefore, by means of holy spirit, HE is in our blood. Because HIS blood... which blood he received from his Father, the MOST HOLY One of Israel, JAH of Armies... comes to be in OUR blood. Our blood, then, speaks to him (it also speaks to humans - what the blood "says" is how we often know how health or sick a person is... or what they have in the vessel - i.e., how much alcohol, glucose, poison, etc.). We need special tools/instruments to "read" blood, to "hear" what it says. God and Christ do not.


Yes, this is what I was thinking of - that His 'blood' was in our blood.

Quote:
Since life..or spirit force from Jah through Christ is in the blood, the blood can speak because the life of that person by means of spirit communicates. Spirit to spirit.



Yes, justmom, that seems right to me.

LOLOLOLOL! Peace, dear Ataloa! I meant that although my lips MIGHT be moving AND my voice is out loud... it is my ENTIRE being that is "speaking," not "just" my lips! LOLOLOL! Maybe you got that, but just in case...

Peace, luv!

Your servant and a slave of Christ,

LOL... trying to picture that now too ; )

(even though I totally get what you mean now too, Shelby)

Anyone ever see that scene from the original Total Recall... where Arnold is dressed like that woman trying to get through Mars security.

"Two weeks... two weeks.... "

::))


Peace both!
