I received an email claiming to include a letter from Albert Einstein to a friend about his daily prayers to receive billions of dollars.
ChatGPT helped me translate this letter. In reality, the letter discusses topics such as the weather, road conditions, tunnels, fog, and the journey to the telegraph station. It does not mention any special prayer for obtaining billions of dollars from God.
This is another SCAM the enemy is using to deceive you into believing that a specific prayer will lead to immense wealth. Don’t be misled by such false promises.
What does Gods Word say to do:
The context surrounding how God supplies our needs can be found in various passages that emphasize faith, obedience, and seeking God’s kingdom. Here are a few key verses and points:
1. Matthew 6:33: (KJV)
“But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.”
Key Points:
- Seek ye first the kingdom of God:
- Seek: This implies an active pursuit. It’s not a passive wish but a determined effort to find and follow God’s will.
- First: This indicates priority. Seeking God’s kingdom should be the primary focus of a believer’s life, taking precedence over all other concerns.
- The kingdom of God: This refers to God’s reign and rule in our lives and in the world. It involves living in accordance with God’s principles, spreading the message of the Gospel, and working towards the realization of God’s will on earth.
- And his righteousness:
- This means striving to live a life that reflects God’s character and standards. It involves personal holiness, ethical behavior, and justice.
- Righteousness here is both imputed, through faith in Christ, and practiced, through a life that seeks to follow God’s commands.
- And all these things shall be added unto you:
- All these things: In the context of the Sermon on the Mount, “these things” refer to basic human needs such as food, drink, and clothing (Matthew 6:25-32 (KJV) ). Jesus reassures His followers that God knows their needs and will provide for them.
- Shall be added unto you: This is a promise of provision. When we prioritize God’s kingdom and righteousness, God takes care of our material needs. This doesn’t mean a life free from difficulties, but a life where God’s provision is assured.
In summary, Matthew 6:33 teaches us to prioritize seeking God’s kingdom and living righteously. When we do so, we are assured that God will take care of our material needs. This verse calls for a life of faith and trust, where God’s will is our primary concern, and in response, He faithfully provides for our necessities.
2. Philippians 4:6-7: (KJV)
“Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”
Key Points:
- Be careful for nothing:
- This phrase means “do not be anxious about anything.” It is a command to avoid worry, which often stems from a lack of trust in God’s provision and control.
- Instead of being consumed by anxiety, believers are encouraged to turn to God with their concerns.
- In every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving:
- Prayer and supplication: Prayer is a general term for communicating with God, while supplication refers to making specific requests or petitions. This emphasizes the importance of both general prayer and specific requests in our relationship with God.
- With thanksgiving: Gratitude is a crucial component of prayer. When we thank God, we acknowledge His past faithfulness and goodness, which reinforces our trust in Him for the future.
- Bringing every concern to God means involving Him in all aspects of our lives, no matter how big or small.
- Let your requests be made known unto God:
- This encourages openness and honesty in our prayers. God invites us to bring all our needs and desires to Him, trusting that He cares for us and is willing to listen.
- It is a reminder that God is approachable and desires to hear from His children.
- And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding:
- The peace of God is a supernatural peace that goes beyond human comprehension. It is not dependent on circumstances but is rooted in the assurance of God’s presence and control.
- This peace is a gift from God that calms our hearts and minds, even in the midst of difficulties.
- Shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus:
- The term “keep” implies guarding or protecting. God’s peace acts as a guard over our hearts (emotions) and minds (thoughts), shielding us from anxiety and fear.
- This protection is found in and through Christ Jesus, emphasizing the importance of our relationship with Him.
In summary, Philippians 4:6-7 encourages believers to combat anxiety through prayer and supplication, accompanied by thanksgiving. By presenting our requests to God, we are promised His peace, which surpasses all understanding, guarding our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. This passage teaches us to trust God fully and to rely on His peace in every circumstance.
3. Proverbs 3:5-6: (KJV)
“Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
Key Points:
- Trust in the Lord with all thine heart:
- This calls for wholehearted trust in God, not just partial or occasional trust. It means having confidence in His character, His promises, and His plans, even when circumstances are uncertain or challenging.
- Trusting God involves faith that He is good, that He loves us, and that He has a purpose for everything we experience.
- Lean not unto thine own understanding:
- This warns against relying on our own limited and often flawed perspective. Our understanding is finite and can be influenced by emotions, biases, and incomplete information.
- By contrast, God’s understanding is infinite and perfect. He sees the bigger picture and knows what is best for us in every situation.
- In all thy ways acknowledge him:
- Acknowledging God means recognizing His sovereignty and seeking His will in every area of our lives. It involves prayer, seeking wisdom from His Word, and being open to His guidance through the Holy Spirit.
- This acknowledgment should be consistent, covering all aspects of life, not just major decisions or spiritual matters.
- He shall direct thy paths:
- When we trust God fully, refrain from relying solely on our own judgment, and seek His guidance in everything, He promises to lead us. This direction may come through scripture, prayer, wise counsel, or a sense of peace about a particular decision.
- God’s direction ensures that we walk in the path He has planned for us, which is always for our good and His glory.
In summary, Proverbs 3:5-6 urges us to place our complete trust in God, avoid relying on our own understanding, and seek His will in all things. When we do so, we have the promise that He will guide us on the right path, leading us in ways that align with His perfect plan for our lives.
4. Psalm 37:4: (KJV)
“Delight thyself also in the Lord; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.”
Key Points:
- Delighting in the Lord: This involves finding our ultimate joy, satisfaction, and fulfillment in our relationship with God. It means prioritizing Him above all else and finding our pleasure in His presence, His Word, and His ways.
- Alignment of Desires: As we delight in the Lord, our desires begin to align with His. Our hearts are transformed, and we start desiring what He desires. This process of alignment leads to a deeper understanding of God’s will for our lives.
- Trust and Prayer: Delighting in the Lord also involves trusting Him with our needs and desires. When we pray, we do so with the confidence that He knows what is best for us and will provide according to His perfect timing and wisdom.
In summary, Psalm 37:4, along with these other verses, highlights the importance of seeking God, trusting Him, and praying with a heart that delights in Him. As we do so, our desires align with His, and He fulfills those desires in ways that are ultimately for our good and His glory.
In conclusion
The email claiming to include a letter from Albert Einstein about his prayers for receiving billions of dollars is a scam. Upon translating the letter, it is clear that it only discusses mundane topics such as weather, road conditions, and a journey to a telegraph station, without any mention of special prayers for wealth. This serves as a reminder not to be deceived by false promises of immense wealth through specific prayers.
God’s Word emphasizes faith, obedience, and seeking His kingdom over material wealth. Key verses such as Matthew 6:33 (KJV), Philippians 4:6-7 (KJV), Proverbs 3:5-6 (KJV), and Psalm 37:4 (KJV) encourage us to prioritize our relationship with God, trust in Him, and make our requests known through prayer and thanksgiving. These teachings underscore the spiritual rewards of a faithful life, rather than the pursuit of material riches.

I think you might have misread something. It sounds like Max is uncovering what the “progressive left christians” are doing through his book and the quote you referenced is what the book is lifting the veil on.
The only thing this was an advertisement for a book for purchase.
Nothing was in the advertisement stated about it’s was a perversion if the Bible teachings and twist them to fit their sick agenda.
