As I looked in my inbox today

It is from Janet.
She wonders when God will answer

"I have taken part in the Prayer Academy this year
and I prayed earnestly every morning between 24hrs
and 03hrs.
I have prayed the prayers in the Prayer Cookbook,
How come I have not received tangible results like
all the others?

They speak of good jobs, houses, cars and I have
nothing to show for my prayers. Why is God not
answering me?

I cry to the Lord day and night but why is he
not answering me? I seem to be at the same level before
and after the Prayer Academy.
I am still praying though I have not given up,
am just wondering when God
will answer my prayers."

I say three things to her:
First, God will answer when He wants to answer;
second, the answers to her prayers may have been
hijacked by robbers in the spirit realm; and third, God has
ALREADY answered but she lacks hearing ears in the spirit.

The first two speak for themselves; the third is relevant
because many people pray but have not yet learned how to
LISTEN to hear God speak to them concerning what they
are praying about.

On top of that many believers still do not realize that
CONTINUING in sin is one of the surest ways of having
answers to prayers aborted, hijacked, terminated.

That problem can be solved quite easily by
doing 2 things.

First, flee from all appearance of evil

Second, learn to BREAK the rhythm of your prayers.
What do I mean by this?
- It means you learn when to speak and when
NOT to speak.
NOT to speak.
- You learn when to keep completely still and silent
(even in the midst of a hot midnight prayer session).

- You learn to recognize (and follow) when the
Holy Spirit is leading you in a different direction.

These things I've said cannot be learned
just by going to church.

Or by saying you are born again.
Or even by adding one nice, spiritual sounding title to
your name (e.g. pastor, bishop, prophet, etc).

You have to get in the trenches (and stay there) until you
can discern what to do NEXT after your prayers.

Our Prayer Academy Lessons, Spousewell (for singles),
and Gold Sessions (for married couples) are structured in such
a way that those who follow instructions are able to break
the rhythm NATURALLY.
Without even knowing that's what they are doing.

BUT those who obtain the materials illegally or choose not to
