Not. Even. Close.
See for yourself.

"I want to share a praise report.
I am not in the Prayer Academy and have never been - it's an issue to do with finances...
But I keep getting those general emails you share about the goodness of God people have received through prayer...
And I realized that the different prayer bullets that you share in the emails are some of the free prayer bullets God has availed to willing people who have not been able to join the Academy...
My husband works with a global digital marketing and branding company /agency which is also big in my country.
A time came when they wanted him to work on a beer/alcohol brand and because my husband is Christian, he told them "I can not work on a beer brand. I would rather resign."
When he said that, they fired him immediately. His contract was terminated with immediate effect.
It was a fiery exchange at his workplace but anyway he comes home that evening and tells me. My husband and I have a saying that 'Christians, we do not get fired. We decide whether we want to stay or not.'
So when he tells me that he has been fired, we hold hands and aggressively prayed like this:
'Covenant keeping God in every place, office I have been rejected cause them to fall over themselves and call me back in Jesus' mighty name.'
'O heaven and earth reject every evil instruction that has been issued out against me.'
'Every evil meeting against my husband be scattered by fire.'
And we went to sleep, he was so tired and actually needed the rest.
In the morning, they called him back to work and this time it was on his terms and conditions not theirs.... Hallelujah.
We prayed at night, they called in the morning pleading, requesting him to go back. What a God!!!!
That company's biggest clients who bring in tonnes of millions of money said, "if that man (my husband) is not on the team, we're cancelling our contract with you...
In all ways, they were cornered and by fire by force had to plead with my husband to get back...
Above all, I thank God that my husband stood for the Name of the Lord.
Thank you to the entire Firespring Ministries, I always pray for you. Keep doing the great work. It's indeed God and Holy Spirit led."

There you have it.
Mark 8:38 says:
If anyone is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will be ashamed of them when he comes in his Father's glory with the holy angels."
Translation:
When you take a stand for the LORD in a world gone mad... ...
He in turn will stand by you through thick and thin.
It is that simple.
Congratulations to all the Eagles of the Prayer Academy.
A double congratulations to our hard-praying Eagles of the Emerald City just winding down their 5-week Prayer Riot.
I checked the Emerald Forum a minute ago:
- 140,081 posts, comments, war stories, prophetic words, Scriptures... and counting.
They get to rest awhile ...
... then in a few weeks we reload our prayer gun and ride again at midnight.
Scripture is the gun. Prayer is the bullet.
