Thank you for your article on Theophostic Prayer. I have been searching for ministries that could give a biblical explanation of what this actually is. Believe it or not, out of the dozen inquiries I made, I did not have one response. So thank you again for your courage and conviction in telling the truth.<\/p>\n
My wife and I recently left our church when one of the church elders proclaimed he practices Theophostics. No one, including the preacher, leadership, and congregation, said anything. Now they offer it on their website as a church ministry. If you have any more information on this it would be greatly appreciated.<\/p>\n\t
I’m glad the research I did helped you. I don’t have any additional information at this time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
