I see preachers online asking for things that the Lord just is not doing himself and never has done. Asking him to bless their effort. They think if they say things like “in the mighty name of Jesus” that requires his blessing, perhaps they have their reward already. That phrase in scripture implies a Christian is already in the known will of the God. It’s not to be used as a spit stamp of approval.

Often with respect to so many Christian ministries Jesus is off to the side doing something completely different, he just continues gently and patiently “follow me”, “you are to cooperate with me.”

It’s like my 4 year old asking me to help him dig a hole in the yard with his pretend plastic shovel while I’m over cutting, splitting, and stacking wood.

“Help me son, you can’t see what I can see coming, what I am doing is important work.”

We must pray according to the will of the father.

Is the father holding mega conferences in mega churches and hosting online Christian music concerts?

Is the father he collecting millions of dollars in offerings to enrich himself?
