As we walk in Holiness and in the Light, our prayers will initiate assistance from Heaven!
The ruler of this world attempts to provide resistance to our prayers. However, we must stand in faith fully expecting our righteous prayers to avail much.
It is written by THE SPIRIT in Daniel chapter 10:
2 In those days I, Daniel, was mourning three full weeks.
3 I ate no pleasant food, no meat or wine came into my mouth, nor did I anoint myself at all, till three whole weeks were fulfilled.
Daniel denied “self” so that there would be no hindrance to his prayers.
4 Now on the twenty-fourth day of the first month, as I was by the side of the great river, that is, the Tigris,
5 I lifted my eyes and looked, and behold, a certain man clothed in linen, whose waist was girded with gold of Uphaz!
6 His body was like beryl, his face like the appearance of lightning, his eyes like torches of fire, his arms and feet like burnished bronze in color, and the sound of his words like the voice of a multitude.
This angel came directly from the Presence of GOD and his face was shining as bright as lightning. He was robed in white linen, the sign of purity.
10 Suddenly, a hand touched me, which made me tremble on my knees and on the palms of my hands.
11 And he said to me, “O Daniel, man greatly beloved, understand the Words that I speak to you, and stand upright, for I have now been sent to you.” While he was speaking this Word to me, I stood trembling.
12 Then he said to me, “Do not fear, Daniel, for from the first day that you set your heart to understand, and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard; and I have come because of your words.
13 But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me twenty-one days; and behold, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, for I had been left alone there with the kings of Persia.
This angel revealed a vital Truth, the battle in the spiritual realm supersedes the physical realm. Daniel was not privy to the delay until the angel explained what was happening in the spiritual realm.
14 Now I have come to make you understand what will happen to your people in the latter days, for the vision refers to many days yet to come.”
The revelation given to Daniel was given to him to record what was to happen over thousands of years, emphasizing the last days. This affirms that the Book of Daniel is the precursor to the Book of Revelation.
We must not be impatient when we pray. Our prayers initiate a response for angels to minister on our behalf. They await our prayers. The demons are also aware of our prayers so they seek to be a hindrance to our prayers but they cannot withstand the angels sent on our behalf.
It is written by The Holy Spirit in Hebrews chapter 1:
13 And God has never said this to any of his angels: “Take your seat next to Me at My Right Hand until I force your whispering enemies to be a rug under your feet.” 14 What role then, do the angels have? The angels are spirit-messengers sent by God to serve those who are going to be saved.
The angels are to serve us in our righteous walk, but we have the responsibility to dispatch them through our righteous prayers. With this understanding:
Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Ephesians chapter 6:
10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.
11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.
13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
14 Stand therefore, having girded your waist with Truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness,
15 and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
16 above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one.
17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God;
18 praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints–
The vessels of dishonor are simply carrying out the intent of the adversary and his minions. We must deal with the spiritual in order to affect the physical.
