Hesed Ojieh argues that Christian prayer should come from trust in God's promises, not desperation. True trust means aligning with God's will rather than begging for rescue. He cites Romans 8:19 and teaches that lack of blessings signals a lack of trust in the covenant.
I believe God. No, that's the elementary. Bible says in Romans chapter 8, verse 19, say, for the earnest expectation of the creature awaits the manifestation of the sons of God. I don't pray, I don't pray begging God for something like God has abandoned me. I don't pray that way. I pray from covenant understanding. I pray from the standpoint of inheritance. I pray for this from the start points of alignment. I pray because I'm in alignment with the will of the Father. So my prayer is the expression of my alignment. Are you aligned or sidelined or sidelined? When I pray, I don't pray from begging point. I pray from alignment because the Father says that he will give me. He won't allow me beg. It's a promise. So if I don't have it, it's because I don't trust him. See, belief is not trust. You believe God, but you don't trust him. Believe is the, is the entry point. There's trust. He said, they that trust the Lord shall be like Mount Zion, unmovable. You believe, but things are shaking because you don't trust him. Trust is abandonment, and you cannot have trust without truth. A lot of people say, I believe God. No, that's the elementary. That's elementary. When you believe, then the truth, the apocalypsis, the revelation of the very true nature of God, that God is not known except by his works, that God is not known except by what he has done. So when God provides you water, it becomes Jehovah Water. So God is expressed by the truth, the revelation, the encounters. That's how his name in all of the Old Testament, New Testament, he's known by his acts. He's known, he's named by his works. His name, when he heals you, you say he's the healer. So God is not known by anything other than his word, his works. You understand what I mean?
