Why do prayer meetings seldom work?
When I went to church and someone lost a job, became ill, got a disease like cancer, everyone for weeks, months, even years would pray for that person and situation and it all still went wrong, in other words the person didn’t get a job for years or the person died.
You know that God is there, you know that God does Miracles, you know that Spiritual healing is real, so why does this not work when we pray every time?
I have a friend who is not an acting Christian or religious, but when his brother had cancer in desperation he asked many to pray for his brothers life, yet his brother still died.
Often for us it is like those watching Noah floating safely away while they were drowning, they would have called to God and said, “Save us oh mighty God, save us!” But God did not save them, why?
Many people led very sinful lives and then on their deathbed it was claimed that they were converted to God and now won’t go to Hell.
When the person got the disease, cancer, and such, it was for a reason, often times we have no idea what the reason was, but in the case of cancer say it was the food that person ate. He got cancer from food that was bad for him, it was cheap, had lots of chemicals in it, and was processed in a way that was not very good for human consumption.
His family, horrified that he had cancer all of a sudden became believers in God, they prayed for their cancer-ridden family member, yet he still died. Angry at God they went back to their sinful lives, and then another got cancer and the process of self destruction continued.
The reason why the people in the water drowning were not saved by God was because they would have praised God, and then ridden with sinful living, sinful thoughts, carnal lusts and of none of this did they want to stop doing, they would have just returned back tot heir filth and God would have had to repeat the process of cleansing the Earth again.
When we eat bad food and water, you know, the stuff with chemicals in it, we get sick, and some get a cancer, and then if God did heal that person, he or she would return to the activities and behaviours that got them the disease in the first place.
But if God see’s the genuine fear, sadness, regrets and repentance of the person with the disease, He heals that person and gives that person a second chance.
When someone who you love get s a terminal disease, you pray for healing, that person dies you hate and blame God for a while. But God knew that you would go through the same horrible hell twice if He saved the person who you love, because you see, your heart was pure, innocent, but the person who you loved wasn’t, you just didn’t know that.
We all carry a load, struggles, sinful behaviours, and some are nasty but it is not publicly obvious. God knows all, see’s all, and knows your heart and the people who you pray for hearts. We need to trust God, and know that God knows who should be saved to get another chance in this life or not.
Besides the fact that God loves us, and we lvoe who we pray for, and we love God, it is sometimes, and possibly in materialistic times like we are living in right now in 2026, it is not wise, or common sense, to heal people who are self destructive in their ways, eating, drinking, thinking, and lifestyle.
While a person may seem totally innocent and wonderful to you, you have no idea what skeletons are in their closet, what universe laws they are breaking or broke in the past, or what they are doing right now behind closed doors where no one can see, or what they didn’t repent from in the past and what evils they allowed.
Each human being is a very complicated Soul, and only God knows how to deal with each one of us, so we should let God do Hos work and we Trust God that He will do His very best for us all.
