I see on the internet people selling money prayer beads, which is supposed to make your prayers to God about money come true. I don't believe that there is such things out there, since God can't be controlled by some beads on a necklace!

You are very right, God cannot be controled by some beads or necklace. If you read throughout the entire Bible you can't find such instruction that we need to use such. We are to pray to God directly. The principal of prosperity throught the bible is, Love God, fear Him, follow his ways and work hard. then whatever you as him it will prosper. Let us look at Psalms 1:1-3 It says, " Blessed is the Man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the path of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful: But his delight is in the law of the LORD, and in his law he maditates day and night. He will be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also shall not wither: and whatever he does shall prosper. Again John 15:7 says, "If you abidein me and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire and it shall be done for you." When we llok at these scriptures, we see that God loves us and gives us instruction on how we can prosper. we need to follow his principals, what the bible teaches rather than what man teaches. remeber that the bible says that in later days many false preachers shall come, they will be lovers of themselves, pleasure. which means that they will love money. I believe that. those who are selling the prayer beads are simply making money. God trully Does not need beads. Jesus said when you pray God into your room and pray and God who hears in secret will reward you openly. There is only one mediator between God and men the man Jesus Christ not beads. ITimothy 2:5, 4:1-2; II Timothy 3:1-6 David

There is no point at all about using anything as we pray to God to convey whatever may it be that we are about to ask. All that's needed will have to indulge ourselves in deep prayer and believe firmly that God will listen and grant the kind of matters that we implore Him. However, if we are asking for money, hardly will that be given to us. Perhaps, the better way of asking for it will be to ask God to help us find a job, suitable to our personality and qualifications, in order to earn a sustaining amount for the family. I do not believe that God will give us directly material things, what He will provide for each one of us shall be guidance, good health, longer life and, best one of all, wisdom. These are the things which we shall ask for, as having these things will allow us to secure for ourselves everything we need by working on their realization as God is alongside us along the way.

i don't believe this either..it's just another scam by someone who knows there are so many gullible people out there that are desperate and will believe anything that anybody tells them. To me, it's the same as the prayer cloth...just a piece of cloth and you're supposed to hold it while praying for what you want..come on, whatever you call "God" by, i don't think you need such "man-made" objects in order for your prayers to be heard!
