giving time and energy to a witch isn't how to walk in Holiness
gotta disagree with you on this. I know of a young man amd an older man that were prayed out of some heavy duty witchcraft because one person prayed.

Your words inspired me to pray for her. if it only takes one heart then I will pray for her to be rescued from this demoness that she follows that Jesus may steal her from that demonesss
 
All I know is that she needed help and has slowly been wanting to come to Christ
The thing is she believes it is to late for her believing she has done to much wrong to be saved.
Did Jesus not eat and drink with sinners? did he not come for the lost? am I to not try to lead her to Christ because she is a witch?
The essence of Christianity is that we come to Him as were are, but we don't stay that way, we begin to be conformed to the image of the Son.
We all gotta turn from evil and cling to that which is good.

they were staying in they're own lane, His lane, that their prayers were effective, giving energy is different.
best wishes

James 5-16 the second sentence
"The effectual, fervent prayer of A rightous man availeth much."
Notice the 'A' is singular - that is a single rightous man...
 
So I have a bit of a testimony to give. I was on reddit again today and there was a user who was in a debate online and from that debate made him have doubts and question if the bible is legit because we don't have the original manuscripts he was in a dark place scared of going back to when his life was before God and confused.

Well I did what I could for him and gave him a testimony of when I went through the same thing and had an encounter with God about it and after telling him that enounter he didn't respond for a bit and the whole time I was praaying and praying for Jesus to reach him with all that was in me almost desperate and remember that verse the scripture 16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much
And I said to Jesus if this is true show me go to them and reach them I kept praying and praying and then they finally responded and told me that they could feel it I didn't even tell them I waas praying for them beforehand and they could feel it.

They for now are no longer confused and I praise God for reaching them but please help me to continue praying for them their name is Kenzy and I am hoping they get a visitation and they are praying for that as well

It says in James, "You ask, and receive not, because you ask amiss that you may consume it upon your own lusts."
So many times we ask and never receive. This is so clear why. I see many posting about asking for things. Clearly they have lust in their hearts. Thanks for this refreshment.

Precious friend, you do realize, of course, that According to God's Precious Word Of Truth,
there are Also These Following Distinctions:

James 1:1 AV to "the twelve tribes of Israel", they have the "consume it upon
your own lusts" unanswered prayer, According to Christ on earth, in line With:

Prophecy/Covenants/Law, to Israel, they were to 'pray' as Christ taught the Twelve, Correct?:

how/what to pray! Matthew 6:9 AV; Luke 11:2 AV

However:

Rightly Divided (2 Timothy 2:15 AV) From “Things That Differ!” (online):

The Body Of Christ, Today, Under Grace, According To "The Revelation Of The Mystery"
From Christ, In Heaven,
we have:

we Are Exhorted to, Without 'anxiety' to "...Make our requests known Unto God!"

compare our 'pattern' Paul, praying three times for his "thorn in the flesh", and God's Answer?:

"And He [ Christ ] Said Unto me, My Grace Is Sufficient For thee: for My Strength Is Made Perfect
in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, That The Power Of Christ
May Rest Upon
me." (2 Corinthians 12:8-9 AV)

And FurtherMore, At The Same Time, God "Teaches":

Concerning our infirmities, we "know Not" what to pray "as we ought,"
But "The Spirit Intercedeth FOR us, According To The Will Of God!..."
(
Romans 8:26 AV!)

Amen?

------
And, precious friend(s), Please Be Very Richly Encouraged and Edified
In The Lord Jesus Christ and In His Precious Word Of Truth, Rightly
Divided:


The Bible: The BIG Picture

Amen.

Pray 24/7
1 Thessalonians 5:17
Pray without ceasing.

So that must mean from one's new heart God gives Ezekiel 36:26. Is not a position as is assumed of flesh and blood. It is not my head bowed, my hands together and facing east or west or any other way, yet whoever believes as they beleive so are they Proverbs 23:7

How can anyone get anything done here on earth, if it were/is a position since we are to pray, (not prey) twenty four seven?
It is the attitude of the new heart given us by God for us in risen Son to us, at least me, thanks

God loves you, stand and stand and continue in trust to that truth, even go through troubles too. You will then start growing up new in humility too. Not that I know, still in process too, standing in trust to Father and Son as Won (One)
