Well, we have some
time left to bring it
on with your email questions.
And Pat, here's a viewer who
says when I pray at night,
I find myself asking God to
forgive me for all my sins.
Do I need to pray each night
for forgiveness of my sins,
or was that taken care of when
I became a born-again believer?
And is there a
right way to pray.
Well, first of all, John
Wesley is a great man.
He said there wasn't a day that
went by that he didn't plead
the blood of Jesus Christ.
The Bible says as we walk in the
light, as he is in the light,
we have fellowship
with one another,
and the blood of Jesus Christ,
his son, continuously-- it's
Greek present
tense-- continuously
cleanses us from all sin.
And so as we we're
walking in the light,
we're continuously being
cleansed of all sin.
But here, a great
man like Wesley,
he said every day, I plead
the blood of Jesus Christ.
So it doesn't hurt.
When he says is there
a right way to pray,
I guess that would
be the right way.
Well, the right way
to pray is-- I just
want to tell everybody, look,
the father is in the world.
He's in you.
He's inside of you.
If you know him, he-- Jesus
said I will come and make
my home with you.
And so the right way
to pray-- it's like,
how do you deal with the air?
You're in the middle of it.
And God is a spirit,
and they that
worship him worship in
spirit and in truth.
And so our spirits need
to be right with God.
If we hate people, if we're
full of slander and jealousy
and resentment, we've
broken the contact with God.
But if we are
forgiving and we're
trying to be like
him in the world,
then we have
fellowship with him.
And prayer is just talk to him.
You're praying all the time.
The Bible says pray
without ceasing.
This is Melissa, who says I
would sincerely like to know
when 1/3 of the angels fell out
of heaven, where did they go?
Did they turn into
demons, or are they
flying around Earth
possessing people and causing
them problems?
Well, all of the above.
The Bible says
that the old dragon
brought 1/3 of the angels.
They revolted against God.
And I think they are the
demons that are in the Earth.
And do they try
to possess people?
The answer is yes.
Do they try to deceive people?
Yes.
That's why the prayer
is Satan I bind you
and the forces of
evil, and I command
you to do the following.
But yes, they're out there, and
they are subject to the lord.
That Gadarene Demoniac
had about 1,000 of them.
He had a legion of demons,
and Jesus cast them out
into the pigs.
So they're there, yes.
All right.
One last question.
This is Kathy, who
says, as you know,
the working people of America
pay at least 10% of their money
to the government and
don't have a choice.
They take it out
of our paycheck.
Do you think God might consider
any of that money tithing,
since some of it
goes toward welfare?
No, he wouldn't.
It goes to--
In a nugget.
Barack Obama's buddies
in the government.
I don't think
that's a holy cause.
Yeah, some of it
goes to welfare,
but that's not a tithe.
No way.
I'm sorry.
Your taxes are your taxes.
Well, tomorrow, he was a
star on the football field
and then one of the halls
in the halls of Congress.
We'll sit down with
former representative JC
Watt, a famous football
player and a great man of God.
We leave you with today's Power
Minute from second Corinthians.
The weapons of our warfare
are not carnal, but mighty
through god for the pulling
down of strongholds.
See you tomorrow.
Bye bye.
