Hold on. Just a minute. That girl looks a bit mystical. And look at that puppy she's holding. He's obviously a mystic.  |
"Quoting God's word back to him in prayer"
The title of the thread is "EATING AND DRINKING JESUS DAILY"
Where is the connection? In scripture? Or in your mind?
I don't recall any Biblical text saying that praying scripture back to God is eating and drinking Jesus. Could someone please point one out to me?
When Jesus talked about his food in John 4:24, he didn'teven infer pray-reading. He was talking of obedience to the Father's will. Jeremiah talked of God's word being food. He didn't talk of pray-reading. Jesus talked of eating his flesh. He didn't say, "By praying scripture."
Conversely, when Paul wrote of receiving the word via prayer, he didn't mention food. The context was warfare.
Why is this? Why do so many here think the scripture is saying something that isn't even inferred?
