When will this end?

Recently, I heard about an ex-prayer eagle in a bit of trouble.
Recently, I heard about an ex-prayer eagle in a bit of trouble.
She had a sweet, joyful family - married to a wonderful man
with a high-paying job, and together they were expecting their
second child.

In fact everything was going so well that she stopped her
midnight prayers altogether (the reason I call her an ex-prayer eagle).
midnight prayers altogether (the reason I call her an ex-prayer eagle).
And, she gradually reduced the time invested in Bible study.
As far as she was concerned, in her life the birds were singing.
The pigeons were crowing.
And, the sun was shining.
All was great.
Until it wasn't.
Almost overnight, her husband got into some trouble at work and...
Bam!
He got fired.
Just like that.
And before long, he walked out of the marriage.
Since then, apparently this sister has been desperately
trying to get her prayer fire back.

She says she feels like giving up.
When will this end, she cries.

Here's the worst part...
All this could have been avoided.
I tell our prayer eagles:
The time to double down on prayer is when
everything seems to be going well.

Why?
The enemy wants you to have a false sense of security,
believing that the good times will never end.

And once he sees that your prayer fire has died down,
that's a signal for all the hordes of hell to let loose.

2 Cor 2:11 says:
Lest Satan should get an advantage of us:
for we are not ignorant of his devices.

So keep on the firing line.
Keep bombarding the heavens with your prayers ...
day and night.

With our Members' Forum it's not only easy to do this, but fun
(because you'll be in a community of believers interceding for one another,
and lifting you up in prayer from 117 countries).

If you are not currently in any prayer program,
you should seriously consider joining one without delay.

After that, you can progress to the Singles Forum (if you are single)
or the Marriage Program (if you are married).
This is the way to avoid running from pillar to post
when the enemy rears its ugly head.

Just the other day I had to "scold" someone who wrote this to me:

Dear Elisha,
Last week and again today it was revealed to different prayer warriors
that a witchcraft spell has been used on my husband to destroy our
relationship and marriage. What do you think?

My Answer:
When you say something like this it makes me suspicious.
Why couldn't God reveal it to you? Are you not a child of God?
Why must you depend on someone else to receive
"revelation" about your marriage?
90 percent of the time, these "different prayer warriors"
will manipulate you for their own gain.
Don't listen to them. Go to the LORD yourself.
Learn to hear God for yourself.
The Prayer Academy should train you to stop running after so-called
prayer warriors/prophets and their revelation.
When you go through the Prayer Academy, you will draw close
enough to God for Him to reveal secrets to you --

What I said to Sister B, I say to all.
Learn to hear God for yourself.
In Psalm 25:14 we read:
The secret of the LORD is with those who fear Him;
and He will show them His covenant.
Do you have reverential fear for the LORD?
Then don't be afraid to ask Him to
reveal hidden things to you.
He sure will answer you.
