“The effectual FERVENT prayer of a RIGHTEOUS man
availeth much.” (James 5:16 KJV)
Jesus offered a prayer on his final night alive. He was FERVENT in his prayer, to the point of sweating blood, as well as 100% RIGHTEOUS, being “without sin” (Heb 4:15)
If there really is a god to grant prayers, THAT prayer, in the Garden of Gethsemane, on his last night alive,
would have been granted.
WHAT did Jesus pray for? Christian unity. He prayed for Christians to be of “one heart and mind” and he prayed for them “the glorious unity of being one… being perfected
into one.” (John 17: 20-23 TLB) In other words, he prayed for them to all get along with each other.
