Nothing, absolutely nothing can block anyone's connection with God, Nothing
Romans 8
Authorized (King James) Version
28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

Romans 14:14
I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean.

Whoever is called? How many are called by God through Son's done work on that cross?
Are all called?
A few?
Only special ones that do work?

Did, God go to that cross for us all, not just the first chosen ones? Gentile too!

Does God love us all? If not, then why did Son as Son go to that cross willingly without any flesh fight back? Or ever call the Spirits to come and fight? As he told Peter that, to put up his sword, I could call legions of angels to fight. Yet he chose not to and then healed Malchus's ear the Peter had cut off, wanting to fight.
Not understanding the whole truth, as we all do the same, not understand God does just l;oive us all y'all
Give up self as the woman did in Luke 21 read that one and turn in self please if one has not done that yet, to God not me or any other person of religion here on earth thanks
As we each grow new daily into unto maturity is humility
Fair points.

What do you mean by "connection."

I think you are confusing having 'fellowship' with God, for eternal security.

A believer can begin walking in his emotions, not in the Spirit and truth.
Walk emotionally in false doctrine like the emotional holy rollers do.
They will not be heard by God in prayer. God knows they are there.
But it will not be God who answers their prayers.

Face the facts. Some believers are led by a wrong spirit.

That is why we are commanded to test the spirits.
To think you can not be deceived is a deception in itself.

The following passage was directed to believers about believers.

If you see any brother or sister commit a sin that does not lead to death,
you should pray and God will give them life. I refer to those whose sin
does not lead to death. There is a sin that leads to death. I am not saying
that you should pray about that.
1 John 5:16

If a wrong-headed believer insists upon refusing to walk according to God's thinking.
God will remove that person with the sin unto death. They do not lose their connection
with God. They go to heaven. But with nothing to show for how they pleased God while
on earth.

Here is an example of what I speak...

For he who eats and drinks in an unworthy manner eats and drinks judgment
to himself, not discerning the Lord’s body. For this reason many are weak and
sick among you, and many sleep = (have died).
1 Corinthians 11:29-30

So, we can never lose our salvation = connection.
But, God will not hear us in prayer if we cling to sin in our thinking.
Sin in our thinking = false teachings designed to please our emotions personally.

Stay connected!

If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins
and to cleanse us from all wrong doing.
1 John 1:9

grace and peace ............

Sister, you know and yet seem to not know, at least to me this I see, and I think you do believe God
Yet as all have sinned and most continue in sin behind closed doors, since you sin still too, don't you or at least you still can even if not want to, can you, do you?

You already know the truth as you just posted I am out of fellowship with God, according to you, is what I read from you.
Great, glad you are not God and God just loves us all, otherwise God in Son would not be the propitiation for all sin ever committed prior to his coming here to earth for us all. New life is not in the death, it is in the risen Life of Son for us all to believe God and see new in love to all, at least for me, thank you.
And you are claiming me, out of fellowship with God by sining again when God by Son took away Sin (that age old serpent) the one that caused it in the first Adam for us to lose spirit life, now in the 2 Adam, Christ, the new life giving spirit we are to be new in love and mercy to all, hoping you see the call. I see mixed messages from you, and I think you trusting God Father for us all is not well for your soul, just my opinion. Glad I am not God either.


Authorized (King James) Version

Romans 14:1-4
14 Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful disputations. 2 For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs. 3 Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not; and let not him which eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath received him. 4 Who art thou that judgest another man’s servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand.

Romans 14:14
I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean.

Oh and thank you for the admonition taking it all to Father to hear truth over error and not be selfish in anything

By stating the differences?
It had nothing to do with your personal walk with God.

FYI ... I am not "sister."

I have never had much luck with prayer and I want to be someone who can be an intercession for the hurting or lost or just anyone in general but I figured maybe it just isn't my gift.
But this got me thinking what makes one a true prayer warrior? is it a gift of the spirit or is it just a passionate heart? and why do some people it seems can pray and recieve while others like me can pray but never see results? what is missing what makes one able while not the other?

I don't think this a 'gift of the Spirit'. 'A passionate heart?' - more likely than not. Remember the scripture 'the fervent effectual prayer of a rightous man availith much'. I suggest you open your heart to what hurts the heart of the Father and pray from that point. Also, out of you own need or hurts, pray for others. Don't be discouraged if you don't see immediate results. Sometimes GOD has to move on individuals to get them to a point where they submit their will to His - whether they realize it or not.

I think I have the heart for it but perhaps I myself need to submit to his will regardless if I see results
I remember when I felt in the spirit someone was dying and I prayed on their behalf to not let them see death but then in the spirit it was as if this person was weary and it was their time to go meet Jesus. another time though I felt in the spirit that someone was broken and hurting very badly alone and lost and I prayed with all my soul for God to go and comfort them and then I could have sworn I saw feathers as if an angel was rushing over there so fast their wings were leaving feathers behind that part I think is symbolic

True prayer warriors do not pray with only desire for something.

It takes knowledge of God's ways that needs to be developed.

Well the best thing I think I can do is pray and then submit to his will no matter the answer

We have been given the mind(thinking) of Christ, enabling us to claim his thoughts to be our own.

But, if we skate around sound teaching?
We will all end up worshipping a Jesus of our own making, while seeking likeminded believers to bond with.
