Answered prayer becomes reality when we seek God’s presence and aid. Adherence to the Law of Attraction suggests we can put forth the effort and an act of the will to bring that desired life to pass. Perhaps the greatest risk is that it suggests that we are, in essence, gods generating outcomes based on an untested methodology.
Can we really shape our destiny just by thinking about it? In this thought-provoking episode of 'Beside Still Waters', Christian Javois tackles the widely discussed Law of Attraction and contrasts it with the Christian practice of answered prayer. Javois, an experienced Bible teacher and author, brings his deep understanding of scripture to explore these two philosophies.
He argues that while the Law of Attraction suggests we can manifest our desires through sheer willpower, it misses out on the richness of God’s grace and providence. Through stories of biblical figures like King Ahaz, King Uzziah, and Solomon, Javois illustrates how relying solely on human power can lead to spiritual emptiness. He also delves into the Old Testament practice of incense burning, revealing its deeper spiritual significance in relation to Jesus Christ.
This episode offers a fresh perspective for anyone curious about how faith and modern philosophies intersect, making it a must-listen for those seeking to understand the true power of prayer and divine guidance.
