CHAPTER

Are You Familiar With Retroactive Prayer?

David rosa sent in a 20 dollar super chat question. Are you familiar with retroactive prayer? This is praying after someone has died that they received christ as lord before they actually die. It doesn't seem impossible to pray that something has happened in the past, it does seem a little puzzling if you already know that it didn's happen. If you don't know whether it's happened, and you have this picture of god as seeing the future, it could be that god's knowing your future prayer would have influenced god's action in the past in waysat you weren't aware of.
