    Hi, I was talking to someone about a prayer cloth and they never heard of it. Where is this located in the Bible, so, I can share with them? Thank you in advance for your help

    Joe Kidd,

    There are groups that teach about "prayer cloths" but their teaching are not biblical. They get this from Acts 19:11-12.

    There are actually ministries today that if you send in your prayer request, they will pray over it or they will pray over a piece of cloth.



    And they will send it to you in the mail and for your donation of $100.00 or more they will send you a "prayer cloth" and if you touch it you get healed.



    It comes from this text right here. These ministries are making millions a year from these donations! And they say it comes from this text in Acts Chapter 19.

    But Acts 19:21-12 is a historical account. It is not a teaching! God didn't say to do it. This was a very special time when Paul's headband and his apron from work, people would touch it, and they would be healed and demons would be cast out.

    Many groups took this as a money making scheme. The Mormons taught about a prayer cloth, along with several Pentecostal groups. But they completely misapplied the biblical account and used it as a way to make money and many people fell for their scheme.

    Thank you. Unfortunately, some people use the Bible to make money. As your faith, so be it unto you. Thank you for responding

    Mishael,

    Agreed, we all need to be more prayerful. Pray without ceasing, says Paul. Don't just commiserate or empathize with others, pray!

    I need to hear this today, Mishael. Thank you.
