dear children of God we've all prayed and asked God to help us at some point but it never happened right away I've learned over the years that God's delays are not proof that he doesn't want to do something it is much bigger in the spiritual world than in the natural world God has to tell us what's going on in the spiritual world before we can understand it we don't know what's going on for us behind the scenes there is an interesting story in the Old Testament about how Daniel's prayer was heard in heaven Daniel is
visited by an Angel who doesn't say what name they are this Angel says that he would have come sooner but was in battle with the prince of the kingdom of Persia for 21 days and needed Michael the archangel's help to beat the prince the angel tried very hard for 3 weeks to visit Daniel but the Prince of Persia was too strong for him you see there are a lot of fights in the spirit realm Daniel's prayer went up to Heaven Was Heard and was answered by an Angel who was sent to bring the answer however
the angel couldn't reach Daniel because of what seemed to be powerful demon power that stopped him this shows that demons have different levels of power just like angels in God's Kingdom have different levels of power Ephesians 6:12 says for we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principalities against Powers against the rulers of the darkness of this world against spiritual wickedness in high places Michael the Archangel is talked about in the Bible the Bible tells us that he has a special part to play in God's plan and that he looks like a powerful Angel
then there was Gabriel who was also a very important Angel he was sent with a specific message about the messiah's coming to Joseph and Mary in fact the Bible only names Three Angels Michael the Archangel Gabriel and Lucifer who is a fallen angel let's go back to Daniel's Story the most important important thing to understand is that Daniel's prayer was so strong in the spiritual world that it helped one Angel call for help not only that but we should also understand that the messengers claim that his fight with the Prince of Persia lasted exactly 21
days is not a coincidence this is because Daniel was actually fighting the battle in the prayer realm not in the spirit realm now think about what would have happened if Daniel had given up on the 10th or 19th day Daniel would have made it impossible for his Angel to get to him today I want to ask you something are you getting in the way of your angel again I ask are you getting in the way of your angel why do we stop praying is it getting down when we pray for something and it doesn't happen
or when we don't like what happens we think God isn't listening or isn't giving us a good answer we all want God to answer our prayers right away it's easy to give up praying when we don't see the answer right away some people have asked me how do I know when to stop praying I always say the same thing never people will always turn to God remember that God can do things that people can't what's wrong is that we live in an instant world where some things don't happen that way the Bible says that when
good people pray with all their heart God is pleased not how long you pray but how strong your faith is and how much you want to do it I want to tell you not to give up and to keep knocking the only thing that can help you right now is prayer not a person not the doctor not your lawyer not a psychologist the answer is your prayer to the god of Heaven it's not that our words are not being heard because we don't see a change it's that there is a fight going on you need
to use your prayers to deal with things prayer lets people into heaven through prayer God shows up prayer takes you to spots you can't reach on your own things that are impossible for people are possible for God be the kind of person who really loves prayer because that person will also be good at it don't give up on your prayers because that person doesn't get in the way of their angel don't give up when you're praying those prayers can reach heaven if you keep asking for what you want you will get it if you keep
looking for something you will find it if you keep knocking the door will be opened for you that's when Jesus told his disciples a story to show them they should always pray and never give up Luke 18:1 Jesus shows us through the story of the persistent Widow that prayer is more than just checking a box he tells us that our heavenly father will hear our prayers but he also makes it clear that we may have to pray over and over again until we get an answer have you been praying for something and still haven't heard
back from God this is for you don't give up please don't give up keep going like the Widow did Satan may be most afraid of the weapon that people pray over and over again because of this he will try to get us to stop praying if we don't see results right away the Bible teaches us to be persistent and we need to do the same with our prayer lives it's worth it to keep going the payoff is way way way beyond anything you could ever imagine but most Christians don't act that way that's why there
are so many people whose faith has failed they stand on the Bible or pray for one 2 or 9 days but then they stop no matter how much it costs they are never willing to pay it what we need to do is keep going Jesus told us that we would be his disciples if we kept following his word during his time on Earth Jesus showed and taught how to be persistent in a way that breaks your back we would know the truth and the truth would set us free he said if we kept going John
8: 32-33 people who don't stick with with something will never see the revelation of God that comes from doing it choose to be persistent today when the time comes you need to be angry determined and strong and you need to stand up and fight back when you keep fighting you will win no matter what is going on or how hard the fight is you let the devil win not the other way around you have to let life win for it to do so keep fighting keep fighting keep fighting do not say that you can no
longer fight please don't tell me you're tired and by yourself you need to make a stand after everything you've been through you need to stand up for yourself Place yourself in the middle don't run away when bad things happen in the middle of the storm stand stand in the middle of all the trouble stand in the middle of the mess in the name of Jesus Christ stay strong no matter what it is it can't beat you when it comes to sickness fight it off it's not going to win it's not going to win what God
has planned for you can't be stopped by the devil and his army this is the year that the Lord will bless you 2024 you have the crown of favor on your head you will find ways through God you should be brave like a lion though that's your duty take a look at those who have gone before you the Bible calls Moses the most humble person who ever lived but Moses was Brave enough to stand in front of the most powerful person in the world at the time and tell him let my people go being brave
it was Brave of the great Soldier Joshua to take up the sword and lead the Israelites to defeat Kingdom after Kingdom strong was King David Who as a child killed a lion a bear and a giant you can't be brave if you think you're being hurt if you think you're a loser you can't be brave you can't be brave if you think you're weak it's over now you know that the god of Abraham Isaac and Jacob is on your side and that he has given you the tools and made you into more than a conqueror
it's over now you should be brave as you walk the angels of God will watch over you his angels will take care of you they are going to walk with you you will be filled with the Holy Spirit who will lead you you will win you have the crown of favor on your head God has been good to you God has put the blood of Jesus into you you were born to be a warrior you should finally stand up for Jesus this year you are a strong person you are God's child you shouldn't let the
devil run your life for another year people who don't stick with something will never see the revelation of God that comes from doing it choose to be persistent today don't base your prayer time today on the one you had yesterday today should be based on your time with him begin going to prayer prep every day today then do it again the next day the next day get up and do it again the next day get up and do it again the next day get up and do it again do not give up do not get
in the way of your angel your answer your prayer might be in the middle of the battle right now some people say that Satan shakes when he sees the weakest Christians on their knees
