Did you determine when you would be born?

Can you determine when you will die?

Do you or does anything observed in the known universe have the inbred (on it's own or by it's own power) ability to exist?

No, you should know God while you are still living, He would want that!!

I'm not trying to be noisy, but when you prayed, did you take any time after you prayed and listend to see if God woud answer?

Have you ever been baptized, accepted Jesus, these are important things, just asking.

Or the question that I should ask is, what God are you looking for?

I believe that Jesus is God, but you may not believe in Him. There are many other gods that other people believe in.

Jesus is the God that responds to me. So, I wouldn't pray to Allah or the other idols.

So, my question is who did you pray too?

Hi back for a bit.
No I did not determine my birth, nature did.
My death, only by my hands would I be able to determine it.
Not that I know of, air maybe?

I guess I prayed to Jesus, only really one I have ever really heard of much, other than greek gods!lol

How long are you suppose to wait on prayers? I guess I waited, still am. And what God am I looking for? I guess the one that exists, if in fact he/she does. You are not being nosey, just asking questions, that's cool.

Our relationship with God affects what we hear when we pray. The only message an unbeliever will ever hear from God is that they are a sinner who needs to look to Jesus as their Savior. Until a person knows Christ as their personal Savior, they will not hear God speak on any subject other than salvation.

I agree with what ILNC said. If I pray to allah, Jesus want respond to me, because He says there is only one God HIm.. The reason, I asked, because there are so many people that say that they believe in God, but they don't say which God they believe in.

Well, if sounds like you are unsure if you prayed to Jesus or not.

I had a friend tell me that she was so desperate to hear from God that she told God that she wouldn't get up off of her knees until she heard an answer from God. Well, He answered her.

If you want Jesus to answer you, you have to be confident when you pray to Him. Meaning when someone ask you who you are praying to, then you should confidently say, Jesus.

Have you ever been baptized, or accepted Jesus into your heart?

Do you believe in the Holy Spirit? If you don't, how do you expect for HIm to come to you?

Yes, you are so correct. God wants you at this point first. If you are not here first, then you want hear anything else.
