To the Galatian believers, Paul gave this warning; So Christ has truly set us free. Now make sure that you stay free, and don't get tied up again in slavery to the law (Gal 5:1)

In the science permeated heart of modern man, formulae are always being derived to get the attention of God. And if you are going through a hard time in your life, you are bound to receive counsels bordering on the use of the right formulae to command God's attention. Concerned individuals might give you books and tapes from which you may glean your own sets of hypothesis.

Pray aright

One of the first major assumptions is that your prayer life is on the wrong frequency and that is why the devil has turned you to a punching bag and God is none-the-least concerned. So you might get prayer formulae like: Fast and pray every Friday and read psalm 83 or Wake up and pray with psalm 35 between the hours of 1:00am and 2:00am, then recite certain prayer points like; 'All witches and wicked people eating up my blessings, die in Jesus name'.

You might even be asked to bless a man of God with substance for Christ said that whosoever will give gift to a prophet shall receive the reward of a prophet.

Tapping anointing from a man of God

There are other formulae like the purchase and use of anointing oil, anointed handkerchiefs, holy water, rings and necklaces with cross of Christ which have been blessed by the Pastor.
