Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez drew backlash on Twitter after criticizing those who offered prayers after the mass shooting at two mosques in New Zealand.
Now I know that unsaved people cannot understand or know the things of the spirit of God and of the word of God, because there is no Spirit of God dwelling within them. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is one of those people, obviously. But even with that said, to say that prayer "doesn't do any good" reveals a disturbing level of coldness and cynicism. Many times I have witnessed unsaved people who were faced with tragedy, and most of those times they asked for my prayer. But not so with AOC.
"Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much." James 5:16 (KJV)
This new breed of Democratic Socialists are very much like the old breed of previous Democratic Socialists like Stalin, Marx and Hitler in the sense that they too despised any religious celebration or occasion where they themselves were not the object of that attention and worship.
Don't pray for the people who died in the attack, because their fate is sealed and nothing can change that. But you
can pray for the families and loved ones who are left behind to deal with the unbelievable feelings of grief and loss. Pray for God to use this tragedy for a
fresh movement of His Holy Spirit there in New Zealand. And pray for AOC, too. She is just another lost Hell-bound sinner who, if she doesn't become born again, will step out of this life one day and
wake up in a place filled with flames, from which there is no escape.
