NON-DENOMINATIONAL YET A COMMON BELIEF;We believe that Jesus Christ is truly God (Rom. 9:5) and that He was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of a virgin, becoming also truly human (Luke 2:1-40). We believe He did this in order to represent both God and humanity (as a mediator), and to become the bridge that restores our relationship to God. Because of His humanity and His suffering; and, being tempted in every way like we are (yet without sinning), He is also able to be compassionate and sympathetic toward us (Heb. 4:14-16). We believe that Jesus is the only savior and the only way back to God (John 14:6, 1Tim. 2:5). Christ suffered, died on the cross, and took the full punishment for our sins as a substitute and sacrifice (atonement Rom. 3:25a), and thereby redeemed us (bought us back) and reconciled our broken relationship with God (Rom. 5:8,10). We believe Jesus physically and truly came back to life after three days in the grave (resurrection; Matthew 28); demonstrating His deity and power, and the effectiveness of His sacrifice. We believe that He then ascended into heaven and now reigns with God the Father (Luke 24:50-53). We believe He is now our advocate - continually "standing up" for us (Rom. 8:34).
We are bound together with all God's children, and God's provision for us is to be shared. There is enough food on the planet to feed everyone; there is enough energy to keep all of us warm; there is enough wealth to supply everyone's basic needs -- if we share our abundance. What comes to us can be the answer to others' prayers -- if we are willing to open our hearts, our wallets, and our hands. As we allow God's love to flow through us, the needs of God's children can be met.
Praying for specifics can raise questions, of course. Sometimes when we pray, what we ask for is not given. People around the world go hungry in spite of praying for food; loved ones die even when we ask God to heal them. Not always receiving what we ask for does not, however, mean that we stop asking. Asking is a sign of our trust in God. Our relationship with God does not depend on the benefits the relationship offers. We pray, leaving outcomes to God.
This site was created to bring together a chain of believers for the purpose of praying for each other's needs. To request prayer just email your prayer request to
prayer@menofprayer.net and the prayer will be forwarded to all of the members of the prayer chain which are located in several states. The number in our prayer chain will continue to grow.
