Does God Almighty need the support of any scripture or bound to act & bless just by that?

Please translate into English.\n\nI'm not being mean, I just don't understand you fully.

Yes.  God can do anything including things that seem impossible to you and me.   I cannot concieve how he would do it, but then I am not God.  I can concieve, however, that an all powerful God could will himself unable to pick up a grain of sand (I know you were thinking of something a little larger).  And since He is all powerful, He could will Himself able to pick it up when it suited His plan.  I know this is lame circular logic, but so was your question.

Why would the Bible tell us to pray for wisdom and then not have us apply it?  What is free will if there are no consequences for our choices?\n\nBesides, there's a fine line between faith and presumption.\n\nSometimes God has asked people to do things that seemed downright foolish.  It stretches your faith.  Everyone who loves you will come with their "concern" and "reasoning."  But at the eleventh hour, God comes through.\n\nOther times, people assume God is asking them to do something when He has done no such thing.  Or, in other words, they presume upon Him and put themselves in bad situations and tight spots.\n\nI've done both.

Nope. If you live in God's will you are willing to accept that some times what you want is not what God wills. You do not and can not buy God's blessings or bribe God into giving you what you want.

If someone told you, "In order to prove your faithfulness, you must not allow a mechanic to fix your car. You must trust God to do it."... would that seem reasonable to you? Probably not. If you had an arm torn off in an accident, would you expect God to inject Himself supernaturally? Or would you go to your nearest emergency dept.?\n\nGod has given us the ability to learn and to apply that learning in areas such as medicine. Going for medical help isn't a denial of God or a sign of our unfaithfulness. It's utilizing the abilities that God gave us.\n\nGod works in many ways, but most often He works through people. Having said that, God is also capable of working in spite of people and limitations.  Trust Him to help you whether through medicine or supernaturally, but continue to use the medical resources that are available to you.

The problem is, you are assuming in your "if there is a God" case that you know what to do to "serve" Him.  But you don't have any basis to know that.  If you are talking about some generic God, there are infinitely many possibilities for how to "serve" Him (assuming He even needs serving).  On the other hand, if you are postulating a very specific God that you have heard about from other people or a book, then you have created a false dichotomy; there aren't just two possibilities (no God versus the God of the Bible), but rather infinitely many (God of the Bible, God of the Koran, God of a book that no one wrote yet, etc.).  So if you "serve" one of them (whatever that means), you are neglecting to serve others.\n\nSo we are back to figuring out what you believe, and going with that.  I guess if you believe in no God, you could still pick one of the infinitely many possibilities of God to "serve," but that seems awfully arbitrary, and your odds of guessing right seem so infinitesimally small that it seems hardly worth the random guess.

Peace will never be attain by prayers alone. Not even if all people of the earth will do it. It has to be followed by actions to attain it. God never gives all the things that you ask for but He will guide you if you live according to His commands and teachings through all your endeavours to achieve it. Your fate in His hands is never in the way He designed it but in the way you walk through the roads He prepared for you. You have a choice and those are either to follow His commands or walk away from Him. In Deuteronomy, He gave us two things... A Blessing and A Curse and all we have to do is to make a choice between Right and Wrong. A hint: Not all Good things can be right. So take wisdom and learn to understand.

Why would God need that? God is for real!

God does anything his/her believer want Him/Her to do.

The same way you do anybody else.  Communicate.  Last I checked, God doesn't send a burning bush for every prayer concern.  He gave us a brain to study his word and a soul to be sensitive to the Holy Spirit's leanings...don't turn God into a cosmic fortune teller.

Well its kinda of like if you need a job. You can pray to God all you want for a job but if you never put in a application or apply for a job how can he bless you w/ one. I think of my relationship with God as a give and take. I give Him control of my life and He takes me where he wants me to be.

I don't believe it is necessary for either to speak to a believer today... Christ's sacrifice was sufficient to establish a permanent connection between any true believer and God - meaning the Father, Son, or Holy Spirit, all three of which believers have communicated with.

:}\nNo at least not in a direct sense. He does take advantage of evil which occurs to cause good for believers. his absence is evil so he is it's counter part.

I don't really know the will of God. I do ask him to show me his will every morning.I believe getting through the day without hurting anyone and helping others less fortunate than me is what his will would be. Have faith, though it's hard at times.

<*> The better question would be , does God recognize it?

There are some interesting verses in the bible.  God says these things:  "I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will harden the hearts of those also whom I choose".  God also likens Himself to a potter, and we are the clay.  He speaks of how He, as God...has the right to choose what to do with that clay.  I don't know why certain people are found of God and certain others are not.  But there is one thing I believe with all my heart:  that God is perfectly just, righteous and holy.  So I do not give up my faith in Him for those things I do not understand.

Thithing has never been a requirement. Always a courtesy.\nJesus sent his apostles out without even a change of clothing. People donated what they could for the preachers benifit. If he was loving and kind and informative, he was well provided for by God's putting it into their minds to give what he needed.\nPastors have missused people to thier benifit for centuries.\nAgain, donate if you wish...........
