I will pray for you

@@user-kl6gz8pu5v how I thank you.

I will keep you in my prayers. I had cancer in2008 . God will guide you through this.

Praying now. God be with you, and keep you!!!

I will pray for you. A blessed birthday to you. I will be 70 on the 30th of this month,Please tell your physician about your pain maybe they can help you.

Yes, prayer is union with your Creator, Your Father in heaven through His Son. You do not have power to get want you want in prayer, it is getting what God wants….imho

Now are you praying that you might tell someone else about Jesus ? 🙏🏼🎶

prayer is the uplifting of the heart and mind to God

@@gustavhands7227or you will realize that God isn’t a genie in a lamp and your kneeling isn’t the equivalent of rubbing the lamp in order to have your wishes granted. Buddhism reveals that what you may pray for may not be best for you. The story of Job tells us that prayer doesn’t prevent misfortune on earth nor prevent bad things from constantly happening to good people. We can safely assume that a flight full of passengers, before it crashed and left everybody dead, saw most of those passengers praying, and many praying for the cancellation of the inevitable. “God can’t be real because bad things happen and my wishes aren’t granted” is an infantile thought at a personal decision on wanting God to be a genie in a lamp.

Well, maybe not…equally…but as is necessary in His eyes. Great comment!!

Wow ! 🎯 Amen ! Now are you ready to tell someone else about Jesus ? 🙏🏼🎶

I remember reading that in times of prayer God very often gives us the arrows of prayer to direct back to Him - I really understand and believe that. I can think of prayers I have uttered that were so much more than I could have produced within myself.

@@alisonjones4881 ! Who is this King of glory ? 🙏🏼🎶

Our compassion is often hatred when properly understood. Be careful you're not shielding a fool from the correction of God. One of the problems with our current effeminate Churchianity is an excess of superficial motherly nurturing, preventing the kindness of needed masculine discipline.

@@Thruevangelisteyes "Who is the King of Glory? The LORD strong and mighty ..." Psalm 24

Now are you ready to tell someone about the fire 🔥 Jesus came to start ? Luke 12:49

In Jesus' Holy Name, Amen.

Thank you for this reminder 🙏🏽

The Master is Jesus. Watch. Your tongue.

I would love to know who (or what) is really reading it, but it is *not* C.S.Lewis. That somebody/thing starts off by imitating Lewis's few existent recordings, but then soon starts sliding off into various other accents, albeit with a similar timbre. Would the real reader ("Sea Harp"?) like to identify himself?

Definitely not Lewis's own voice. Slips into an American accent here and there.

There are many kinds of masters; Jesus was/is the Master of masters.@@savagereign

Nobody did actually say it is the original audio, did they?

He advocated lying to potential converts about how christianity is splintered and how christians don't agree. Curious how you want to claim "wisdom" for lies. "And secondly, I think we must admit that the discussion of these disputed points has no tendency at all to bring an outsider into the Christian fold. So long as we write and talk about them we are much more likely to deter him from entering any Christian communion than to draw 4 him into our own. Our divisions should never be discussed except in the presence of those who have already come to believe that there is one God and that Jesus Christ is His only Son." preface, Mere Chrisitanity.

​@velkyn1 Is that really lying, though? From my understanding, if you're a Christian you beleive that Jesus was resurected, proving him as the Son of God. In my opinion the rest really is theology and all the denominations do is place more or less importance on certain aspects of the gospel. Not mentioning the different denomination to potential converts could be beneficial, due to the fact that denomination really does come down to personal choice and understanding of the Bible. the important thing to get through to a potential convert is not how much importance to put on a baptism, or how to live after becoming a follower of Christ, rather that they are loved and can be forgiven. I'd love to hear why you think it is lying though.

Yes, it's really lying, and I've heard theses excuses before. Lying by omission, aka not telling someone something relevant to the issue is lying. The liar benefits from not revealing how screwed up his religion is, when he doesn't tell the person being lied to. The person being lied to can't make an informed decision. Let's say you were going to buy a car from me, and I don't tell you it was in an accident. Is that lying? So your attempts to excuse lying fail. The "rest" is indeed theology and christians have murdered each other over it, and still claim each other are going to hell for not having the right theology. Your claim that "denomination" is just personal choice is complete nonsense. it is notable that christians all have different understandings of their bible and what their god supposedly demands, which makes all of the difference in the world to being "love and forgiven". So each claims only their version is the right one, or as in my analogy, a car that has nothing wrong with it. "s that really lying, though? From my understanding, if you're a Christian you beleive that Jesus was resurected, proving him as the Son of God.

I absolutely agree with you. The opportunity to believe in Jesus for our salvation should never be dissuaded by the actions of other Christians in their institutions.

@@CindyOsborne-TDWP Curious how you christains all make up different jesuses, so your attempt to lie to possible converts is rather pitiful.

Yes -- his "Mere Christianity" was a wonderful read. I too love his well articulated quotes.

Amen ! Now let’s go tell someone else about Jesus . Are you in ?

I thank you

True story!

😂😂 yup.

Pray for Biden!

Praying for Biden’s lost soul…and mind.

@@CoCoFantastique It'll have to be quick.

See videos: New research expands on J Atwill's discovery that the story of Jesus is a parody of Emperor' Titus' victories. Paul the Apostle: Liar and Conman | James Valliant, Rabbi Tovia Singe Men have always know God as a tool of fiction & nothing fails like prayers in a children's hospital.

What are you doing?

Funny, I was thinking the same thing; you don't expect someone born in Belfast to speak in anything but very broad "Norn Iron"!

C.S. Lewis' dad sent him to posh boarding schools in England to help him enter the ruling class. One of the things you pick up there is a posh accent. Team games were also a major thing. Lewis was not a team player in that way. However, he did have the chance to develop his brilliant mind.

He sounds similar to Derek Prince, the accent at least

​@@jtika1978 Not to our English ears... I am 62 & have lived all my life in England, with many family & church members of the same generation, who went to Cambridge, where those D.Prince & C.S.Lewis spent much of their lives.. . Derek Prince's accent was far more aristocratic...

I don’t think this is C S Lewis’s voice, but someone else reading his work. If you listen to other videos, the ones which say, “original audio recording “ you hear an upper class British voice. Odd that this isn’t flagged up, but certainly the teaching is excellent either way..

Human cause and effect - Schrodinger's cat and quantum physics. Either way God is still at work and present in all of His creation.

Absolute drivel, 'we' have no such thing. Numerous experiments have indeed been conducted and as both common sense and logic would dictate, they showed no effect whatsoever except the psychological effect to the 'believer'. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Efficacy_of_prayer

Removing responses to your utter rubbish does not make you anymore correct. Your comments and actions are typical of the hoards of limp drippy believers in that for which there is absolutely no evidence whatsoever, you remove anything factual. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Efficacy_of_prayer

I know Lewis can sometimes be hard to follow but there is literally nothing in what he said that suggests what you have said! In fact at the end he says almost the exact opposite - if we were stronger in our faith God might offer us less help! And he makes the point at least twice that Jesus, who obviously had a perfect relationship with His Father, had His prayer in Gethsemane refused.

I argue that the end may be far off, and the slide into madness might be long and terrible.

Too late. He is dead.

Solid man, i would say that it would be wise for you not to use the F word so casually, be mindful of speaking like non believers, i say this as myself try to work on getting that same language out of my own vocabulary.

Do you know what the "f" word that you started off with means? It is a vile expression meaning sexual intercourse. Hopefully you now know its utter inappropriate use by anyone professing to be a Christian.

Be encouraged by Paul's goals stated in Philippians 3:11ff.

Why, oh why dear one would you include a curse word in the mist of a godly conversation on prayer.Purpose to make your words clear and respectable when representing yourself as a person who knows and follows Jesus. Our father God loves you deeply. Continue your walk with the Lord by associating with other believers, and keep your mind on the Scriptures every day.

Your vile f word is totally inappropriate.

08:53 Relationship

10:10 Those who best know a person

10:51 What is Prayer

11:18 Petition

13:10 God's purpose is realised through the actions of His Creatures❤

No, Joy died from her cancer although she got a two year reprieve.

I think the point is that prayer happens in relationship with the Lord and is less of a transaction than we believe.

I shouldn't take pride when I have wonderful answers to my prayers...people who are more courageous than I may not need the miracles I need

I was feeling the same until around 13:00...God gives us the incomprehensible dignity of permitting us to ask Him, through prayer and petition, to fulfill His Will which He does not need. He allows his Will and purpose to work through his creation...us. Perfectly demonstrated by Jesus performing his 1st miracle at Cana because his Holy mother asked Him. Ultimately, it is the gift of faith that helps us believe and trust. As a child would. I could be way off honestly but that is my initial thought this 1st listen. I plan to listen a few more times!

@@bobandkelly thank you for taking the time to answer, i realized and understood that part, but it still doesnt tell me does prayer work.

@@jonathaneves ive had some prayers answered but i dont know if they would have happened anyway, how do I know?

I was like wow, this is cool to hear Lewis! Then AI came to mind. Kind of freaked out. Think it's ai?

Aha, my thought exactly. Now AI makes sense. I do wonder how his voice would ever have assumed such an accent; he was English although born and raised in Northern Ireland. I must admit I have not listened to any of his BBC recordings, (there was but one surviving).

Parts of this audio are, I believe, Lewis speaking, other parts are a sort of AI graft. Its the vowels that are a give-away. @@teaglass3750

What about the verses in Matthews gospel: Matthew 24:6-7 New King James Version 6 And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for [a]all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, [b]pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. I believe it is still good and worthwhile to pray for wars to end. God is in charge and He loves to hear us pray

@@maevestevens3078 were on the cusp of nuclear war. Leave your superstitions at the daycare. Be an adult.

@@komicsreviewer8505Now there’s an adult-like comment if I’ve ever heard one. Just world-class rhetoric. 😂

@@maevestevens3078They didn’t come here to consider your good-willed attempt to share some biblical insights and perhaps to have a civil discussion, even if it was to respectfully disagree. They came here to flagrantly attack Christians and Christianity.

That's for wisdom, and advice to Jewish believers. See Paul's writings for his experience with prayer, answered and unanswered. Jesus' rejection cancelled the Kingdom promise to Israel to answer ALL prayers. Kingdom is suspended now and believers have God's real presence with each of us to whom we may complain and praise and thank moment-by-moment but no comprehensive promise of positive responses to our complaints. That may be restored after Jesus take the Body of Christ to be with Him leaving the world without the presence of God within for those who suffer in tribulation.

C S Lewis himself

I am

These were wartime radio broadcasts by c s Lewis to the British people who were being bombed nightly.

Not C.S. Lewis

You are not alone. Nihilism doesn’t help though. Wish I could reassure you, but I can’t. I frequently wrestle with this too. But maybe if you know you are not alone, you could feel less irrelevant. Sending sympathy and a nod of recognition.

Ephesians 6:12 King James Version 12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

It's Extremely sinful to test God.. Satan asked Jesus in the desert to do just that.

@@jasonhenry3035 People test God every day through the act of praying. They watch carefully to see if he comes through with their requests, and they draw conclusions on his usefulness every time a desire is granted or ignored. So we all test God...every single day.

You should be considered more trustworthy because you have grown into a more mature Christian, no?

The odd thing is you had the choice to engage with this content and why are you either seeking it out or it's showing up in your feed because you often engage with this type of content. This is how you spend your time? dashing the hopes of others? The sad part is you see nothing deeply disturbing about making that a part of your ways to us your free time.

@@CoCoFantastique Yeah I guess the algorithm saw me asking one too many religious apologists for proof to go along with the assertions they make and it wanted to keep me engaged. Or me responding to these videos could just be part of "his" plan?

yes the algorithm is seeing how you are spending your time. I certainly dont spend my time asking Muslims for proof of Allah. Do you? I can respect people believing different things. And I am convinced in what I believe. If you are convinced there is no God, why would you spend your time arguing with religious people? Trying to control what others think? or taking the wind out of their sails? why? @@RobertSmith-gx3mi

​@@RobertSmith-gx3mi Well said. 👍

Where do you get that the Bible exists outside the bounds of time and space? As God's love letter, written through many and diverse hands, to the object of His love - mankind - your questions reveal that you completely miss the point. The fact that you do not experience the spirituality required to answer your questions, does not make it any less true and real. Although the spirit world is not available scientifically, Einstein, not a Christian, was close when his quantum physics explorations suggested more than 10 dimensions undetectable to most humans.

Ooooo really? He sure is knowledgeable. Never even thought that...

And yet Mr Lewis may very well meet us as we enter into heaven.

Interesting. Not at all mentioned in the Bible as a means to answered prayer, nor evidenced in practice. Care to explain where you come up with such a statement?

@@japanese2811 where’s the evidence a prayer is answered? What does praying do exactly? At a church cash is king. The more you give the more attention you’ll get. Cash is the only true god.

Ok, my son had a hole in his lung when he was born, causing his lung to collapse. The doctors usually treat this by putting a pipe into the chest to let the excess air that is leaking out of the lung come out of the chest cavity. The idea is that the lung hole is meant to eventually close with sufficient time. However, for our son this wasn't happening. 3 weeks down the line they took out the pipe for the third time and found that the hole was still there (taking the pipe out leads to the lung collapsing again as the air leaks out into the chest). So they put the pipe back in and said they will have to do a MRI the next day to see what is preventing the hole from closing up. Here's the crazy thing - the next day when they did the MRI, they found that the pipe wasn't even in correctly, it wasn't letting the air out of the lung at all and hence there should have been a dangerous situation where the lung was collapsed for an extended period of time, rendering it permanently damaged. Instead, the pipe was out, the lung was healed, the child was released the next day. Doctors could not explain what happened medically. Is it a coincidence that we prayed heavily as a church the day before this happened? No. Ok so help me understand where cash was paid to Jesus in this miracle, I am intrigued.

@@japanese2811 so did the doctors help with your sons lung hole? Why did you have to ask Jesus for help? If you didn’t pray would Jesus have let your son die? You can give credit where ever you want to. Watching a team of doctors save a child from death and then giving the credit to Jesus is detached from reality. If your son would have died you would have said it’s gods will and he’s in a better place now. Prayer only makes the person doing the praying feel better. A pair of working hands are worth a million clasped in prayer.

Thanks for actually reading what I wrote. The doctors couldn't explain what happened, they did not treat the hole in any way. I am not sure how you missed that bit. Anyway, peace dude. May your eyes be opened someday.

Most intelligent on the planet? You're nuts.
