A few years ago, on the birthday of a little sister that I loved very much, I made a congratulatory audio to her and at the end of the audio I told her that I was begging her to please not do like many who learn the "mechanics of the gospel" and that is a one of the worst things that can happen to a Christian and learning the "mechanics of the gospel" is nothing other than knowing mechanically "how to pray, how to make an intercession, how to worship, how to preach and do everything in a learned and mechanical way but doing it in the way that seems spiritual to people.
To my surprise, such advice caused my sister to cut me off.
A while ago I passed by her house and I heard her intercede and her sadness made me cry because as you might imagine she fell into what I begged her not to fall. A mechanical intercession that could make many say "Wow, what a tremendous intercession" but it was only a mechanical prayer learned to surprise.
It's sad that this happens, this is comfort, this is mediocrity... Learning things mechanically is easy, you just learn by heart what external characteristics a prayer must have so that people consider it spiritual and that's it!
Me, Sunday since approx. For 5 years listening to so many people pray I would not have needed to study the Bible so much or read so much about the men of Prayer who have existed for the truth for a long time. I know by heart what people consider a Spiritual prayer and it would be easy! Just use a little intellect and that's it!
But how sad that there are still people like that, even pastors, who already know the mechanics of a correct prayer! and they don't need to learn anything about prayer. I was surprised by a pastor who a few months ago wanted to share with her everything she was learning about prayer from my biblical research and the life of A.W. Tozer and Charles H. Spurgeon and she ignored me worse than a dog.
How sad, what pain that even pastors are like this and to make matters worse they are recognized as "men and women of God" Obviously by people without discernment and just as lazy and blind.
Yes, call me stupid or an idiot, but what happened to that girl really hurt me a lot.
I pray and pray for each one of us so that it does not happen to us. May our water always be fresh, our desire to learn always be renewed.
Kisses
