The Unanswered Prayer

I am sure all of you have known times when your prayers seemed to fall to the ground, as if no one was listening, and you wondered why nobody answered your knock on Heaven's door.

If Yahshua told us that whatever we ask in His name would be given to us, why is it that the prayers we sent up in earnest faith remain unfulfilled?

The reason for unanswered prayers is very simple yet it may seem contradictory on the surface: unanswered prayers serve to build up our faith.

You probably wonder, how can an unanswered prayer build up faith?

Isn't the opposite true, that if we pray in faith and we receive, this confirms our faith and builds it up?

Faith has to grow wings like a bird.

It has to learn to fly, defy gravity and transcend time and space, because it does not belong to the realm of time and space of the physical dimension, but it comes from the dimension of Heaven, or rather, YHWH who exists in and beyond Heaven.

How will the bird learn to fly if it does not experience the pull of gravity towards Earth?

Without gravity the bird would simply float around in the air, and it would never learn to develop the skills to fly because there is no need to flap its wings.

Faith isn't any different.

It has to learn to abide in the power of Heaven, YHWH, and the way it learns to abide in this power is through defiance of the gravity pull of Evil.

How does Evil produce the gravity pull on faith?

I have mentioned in previous articles how the forces of Evil seek to manipulate our circumstances against us so that they come to embody the opposite of what we hoped and prayed for.

We pray for one thing, and we receive the opposite.

It seems as if our prayers have no effect whatsoever.

When we experience moments when our prayers fall to the ground, then the next time we pray we tend to remember our 'failed' prayers.

That is when our faith is challenged.

Do we begin to doubt a little bit, trading in our certainty that YHWH hears us and will act on our prayers by replacing our 'certain expectation' with a 'hoping that it will come to pass'?

Do we pray expecting our prayers to remain unanswered because the previous hundred times we prayed it had no effect whatsoever?

That is when the manipulation of our circumstances produces a strong gravity pull on our faith.

And that is when our faith has to learn to spread its wings and learn to fly as if there is no gravity pull whatsoever.

Our faith needs to learn to remain strong and intact as if there is no stress of the Lie manifesting in our Life and contradicting our faith.

Faith has to learn to ignore the gravity pull of Evil as if it does not exist, and it really does not exist.

Evil cannot exist in YHWH's reality, because if YHWH is IAM, then Evil being the opposite is I AM NOT, non-existence.

It is the code which enables the manifestation of non-existence, and as should be obvious, non-existence cannot exist.

But because we have placed in a reality where a transfer of energy is able to occur from the energy YHWH gave us to the code of Evil, it is able to use that energy as electricity to manifest itself in our dream-reality as an avatar of non-existence, a package of reality which embodies everything which YHWH is not.

So, when we pray and the forces of Evil have been given the authority to mess with our circumstances so that our prayers do not seem to work as they should, our faith, which comes from the ultimate reality in YHWH, experiences a pull of the artificial gravity of Evil.

This gravity pull in the form of manipulated circumstances and our memory of unanswered prayers DOES NOT REALLY EXIST, because Evil cannot really exist!

The only reason we experience the pull of gravity is because we have been put in the simulation of a physical world, a holodeck where Evil is given an appearance and form of existence and where it is able to express its character as the embodiment of everything which is anti-YHWH.

It is as if we put on our 3-D glasses which make us part of the computer simulation where we experience obstruction from Evil forces and unanswered prayer.

The moment we put off the glasses we are back in reality, and we realize there really was no such thing as unanswered prayer or manipulated circumstances.

The only reason we experienced the obstruction of Evil is because we were temporarily part of a dream world where Evil could manifest itself and create a situation where we felt as if our faith was fruitless and our prayers nothing but empty words.

Because faith is the element which belongs to the real world of the Spirit it needs to transcend the illusion of the 3-D world.

In this illusion it may seem as if faith is powerless when our prayers are not answered.

The lack of fulfillment of our prayers exercises a gravity pull on our faith where it is under attack of doubt.

'If my prayers remain unanswered now, then the next time I pray my prayer will very likely not be fulfilled either', and if you accept that notion you end up praying in doubt, hoping that MAYBE YHWH will be listening to your prayer, but thinking in your heart your prayer will probably not come to pass.

That prayer of doubt testifies of a belief in the manipulated 'reality' of your circumstances, and you end up with a reversed faith, a faith which believes the Lie because it rejected Truth.

So, in order to learn to fly you need to develop a pit-bull mentality when it comes to faith, and persist in spite of the gravity pull of Evil.

The reason YHWH allows this gravity pull is to draw out your faith and fill it with His strength so that it learns to fly in Heaven even though we are bodily still present on Earth.

If you persist in your faith and you keep believing in spite of your circumstances and unanswered prayers, and you seek to draw your strength from YHWH, He is able to breathe Life and Energy into your faith which gives it more strength than it used to have.

The Life and Energy are food for our faith which gives it the strength to move its wings and learn how to fly and defy the gravity of Evil.

If we persist, our faith becomes the flying bird which does not even experience the pull of gravity anymore because it has learned to use its wings to such an extent that gravity has no effect on it whatsoever.

That is when we become free as a bird, released from the grip of Evil, and that was the sole purpose why YHWH allowed Evil to have the authority to create circumstances for our lives which contradict our faith.

Faith learns to fly through the contradiction of faith brought about by Evil.

Like birds we may fall out of the nest a few times, but YHWH is always there to pick us up and put us back into the nest to have another try at it.

After a period of trial and error, we may seem to fall like we have previously, but because we operate our wings which focus on the freedom we find in Yahshua, instead of falling to the ground like before, we begin to fly, higher and higher.

We learn t0 use our wings and steer our way through the sky.

Our Faith is meant to be filled with strength and energy from YHWH so that it has the fuel to fly.

The process of learning to fly is a process of being filled with strength and energy from YHWH so that our faith and our character of faith is drawn out and nourished, and we grow into the individuals YHWH intends us to be.

So, you wondered why prayers remain unanswered?

Because they serve YHWH's purpose for us, and we have to learn to persist in faith in spite of everything.

Failing that, we fall to the ground and we obstruct that purpose.

But if we fail, YHWH will provide new opportunities, other times when our prayers remain unanswered so that we can learn to be persistent in our faith.

Sometimes He cannot answer our prayer on our Earth (dream) level because it does not fit into His plan for our lives.

Whatever the reason may be for answered prayers, all of them are elements challenging our faith, and if we want to become strong individuals in the image of YHWH, we have to learn to cling in faith to YHWH and not to waver with doubt, allowing our faith to be exchanged for hope, and our hope for the expectancy that our prayer will 'probably'not be granted.

If we lose faith in YHWH, we are bonded in reversed faith to Evil, there is no middle ground.

We either believe YHWH, or we believe the suggestions of Evil.

Faith in YHWH flies to Heaven, reversed faith in Evil falls to the ground and leads into the grave.

Do not let the lying gravity-pull of the simulation cause you to think that you cannot fly.

Birds are created with wings that they may fly and soar in the sky, and in the real world of the Spirit we know our power and ability to fly.

It's just that the world of the Flesh tends to rob us of that knowing.

The moment we were born into this world, we were downloaded into a simulation which made us forget our ability to fly so that we need to learn to fly again, this time from the perspective of Dualism which produces the force which seeks to keep us down and prevent us from flying.

As a result, the simulation helps us to grow into stronger birds as we learn what it means to fly again, and this learning process is a road where our faith is built up and strengthened by YHWH, so that when we put off the glasses of this 3-D simulation we are stronger in faith than when we were before.

We USED to be strong, and we ARE strong, only our consciousness forgot the strength of our faith because of our involvement with the 3-D simulation.

Our way back to remembering this strength is a renewal of our faith and a strengthening of it.

It is YHWH's way of shaping and carving out our character.

We come here expecting blessings and joy, only to find grief and curses on our path, and because we are so focused on the reality of the 3-D glasses we wear, we often forget that we are living in the equivalent of a dream where Evil has power and authority to twist YHWH's Truth.

In this dreamworld, which is the reverse of the reality of Heaven, YHWH's Truth is turned into a lie and the Lie is turned into truth, and the weight of this reversal stresses our Soul and challenges our Faith.

Will we accept the Lie as truth, or will we be able to retain faith in our hearts, keeping the eyes of the Soul and Spirit fixed on the reality of Heaven even though this remains out of reach of our Earthly senses?

When the Lie manifests as truth and Truth is depicted as a lie through manipulation, our faith and trust are challenged.

But remember the words Yahshua spoke, as recorded in John 16.20-22:

"Truly, truly, I say to you, you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice.

You will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will turn into joy. 

When a woman is giving birth, she has sorrow because her hour has come, but when she has delivered the baby, she no longer remembers the anguish, for joy that a human being has been born into the world. 

So also you have sorrow now, but I will see you again, and your hearts will rejoice, and no one will take your joy from you."

"In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.” John 16.33

All too often these words are forgotten by those who profess to believe in Yahshua and come to expect a smooth Life full of blessings where every wish they have is granted.

That is true for the real Life of the Spirit, but we abide in a realm where a reversed reality has been given the authority to manifest, please bear that in mind lest the disappointment drags your faith down.

As long as we are locked into the Flesh we abide in a realm where Evil has the authority to reverse the true reality of the Spirit.

All too often this reversal comes in the form where those who do Evil are rewarded, and those who do Good receive punishment.

You may pray for one thing, but Evil makes the opposite manifest in your Life.

Then the challenge comes: will you believe the manifestation of the fiction of a Lie, or will you look through the eyes of the Spirit, transcending the dream of the time/space environment because you see in your heart that the manifestation of the Lie is not real, but your faith is, and YHWH is real and unable to lie.

The reality of the Spirit is this:

"Truly, truly, I say to you, whatever you ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you." -John 16.23"

"And whatsoever you shall ask in My name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

 If you shall ask anything in My name, I will do it", -John 14.13-14

"Then came the disciples to Jesus apart and said, Why could we not cast him [the demon] out?

And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief; for verily I say unto you, if ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, ‘Remove hence to yonder place,’ and it shall remove. And nothing shall be impossible unto you." -Matthew 17.20

It is this reality of the Spirit which is reversed and thus distorted by the reality of the Flesh, the domain where a dream-reality rules which creates impossible scenes, just as when we fall asleep and we dream of things which cannot happen or exist in reality.

Our problem is that we have grown up in the reality of a dream, and from that perspective we relate to the real world of the Spirit which creates the sensation of looking at reality in a mirror dimly, or a glass darkly.

We are born into an impossible dream reality, and after we have grown accustomed to this twisted dream world and its own impossible logic we try to relate to the Spirit from the twisted perspective of the dream scene we are part of, like looking at your image in a distorted laughing mirror.

Only, the pain of the dream all too often drains the laughter out of our lives.

Just as the dream we have at night is derived from concepts in the real waking world which are depicted and often interconnected in often impossible ways, the Earth reality is derived from the greater reality of Heaven, yet it embodies a distorted and reversed image of reality.

Because the dream is derived from a greater reality, the dream cannot exist without the greater reality preceding it.

In this lower reality of the Earth-dream it seems as if suddenly our faith stopped working and we are without the authority we have in Yahshua in Whom we are given all authority over Creation to shape reality.

Prayers suddenly seem to remain unanswered and unfulfilled, trust and faith seem fruitless and meaningless, and the notion of impossibility replaces the reality of unlimited possibility of the Spirit.

From this dream world we have to learn to believe all over again, becoming child-like in our trust and faith in YHWH so that our faith spreads its wings and learns to fly to Heaven, defying any artificial gravity pull of the Earth dream as it reaches out and transcends the holographic illusion of time and space.

Faith learns to see through the deception of the holographic lies Evil projects into our Life, it ignores the interference of Evil because it is part of a dream and therefore does not really exist.

Faith learns to ignore the distortion of time in our 3-D time/space environment.

When we learn to ignore the obstruction of our spiritual sight because of manipulation of Evil forces in our lives, when we learn to hold fast in faith because the circumstances contradicting our faith are recognized as lies and as such completely ignored by us, then our faith begins to manifest as the channel or conduit of YHWH's reality destroying the Earth illusion, and that is the moment the forces of Evil fear most.

Evil always manifests in our lives in the form of a lie contradicting YHWH, and on Earth we have to learn to treat those periods, those tunnels we have to go through, as LIES, jamming stations disrupting YHWH's broadcast, elements of an impossible dream which do not exist in reality.

Faith is the bond with YHWH, so that every word from living faith, whether spoken or written, every deed, every expression of that faith becomes a reality- bomb detonating in the dream-world of Evil.

That is why the forces of Evil seek to destroy faith in YHWH, because it turns people into untouchable reality-bombs destroying the stronghold of the illusion, the Lie.

That is why the forces of Evil fear the moment when someone sees through their game and grabs hold of faith in YHWH, no longer responding to the manipulation of circumstances with a wavering faith but instead clinging in faith to YHWH, in spite of the pain of unwanted circumstances and prayers which appear to remain unanswered.

If you walk in faith, then your very presence on this world becomes an act of terrorism in the Evil illusionary dream-world, because every breath you take, every smile you show are expressions of YHWH's reality shattering the dream illusion.

Your existence on Earth is a manifestation of Heaven's greater reality, and because reality shatters an illusion your very existence is a threat to those forces who made an illusion their home.

The forces of Evil seek to spin a cocoon of the Lie around us by manipulating our circumstances and turning them against us so that we feel as if we are robbed of our blessings, and our prayers are not answered.

Then the Adversary comes along and tells us: 'look around you, don't you see the physical evidence of the fact that what you believe is just an illusion, an invention of your own mind? If what you prayed for in Yahshua's name does not come to pass, then isn't this evidence of the fact that what Yahshua said is not true, and if you trust in YHWH and walk in His ways, and instead of blessings you only get adversity and misery, then does not the reality of the physical evidence of your Life make it clear to you that this is not true?'

That is the moment when the gravity pull of Evil seeks to bring our faith down so that it cannot fly anymore.

When we accept the suggestions the Satan put in our minds, then we:

1. integrate in the illusion of the dream because we accept the dream as reality and deem the spiritual reality of our faith to be an illusion,

2. lose our wings which enable our faith to fly and be free from the deception of the cocoon,

3. reverse our faith so that instead of believing YHWH we now believe in the Satan who manipulated our lives and made us suffer, and

4. we give him the authority to continue his game of manipulation through our consent to his suggestions.

The cocoon of Evil is like a cloud blocking the sun.

In Heaven these clouds do not exist, but here in the illusion of the Earth-dream the clouds of Evil can have an appearance of existence.

When they block the sun, the sun is still shining as it always has, only it seems as if the sun stopped shining because the cloud is blocking the sunshine.

Should we lose faith in the fact that the sun still shines its light if clouds rob our sight of it?

Do we believe the Evil One when he points out the 'reality of the absence of the sunshine' and tells us that there is no such thing as sunshine?

The sun is still there, it still shines its light, only a passing dream-cloud robs it from your sight temporarily.

So too the promises YHWH made and the words Yahshua spoke are always true, only, Evil has been granted opportunity to become the cloud blocking the sun of YHWH's words.

If we then lose faith, we give permission for the clouds to grow thicker and permanently block the Son out of our Life.

YHWH's Word, like the sun, will always remain, but our faith in the reality of clouds which are but a passing illusion locks Him out of our sight permanently.

Therefore, don't believe the clouds, but learn to see the clouds for what they are: passing illusions seeking to separate us from the light of the sun eternally.

Live as if clouds do not exist, for in the real Life they DO NOT exist and CAN NOT exist.

Evil is just an avatar which we give existence because we breathe Life in it through our reversed faith, our Sin.

The father of lies seeks to capture our Soul in a cocoon of lies, a cocoon he seeks to turn into our coffin.

He weaves a large cocoon of lies enveloping entire nations, selecting agents who become leaders perpetuating lies and trapping the people into their web of lies.

The Adversary breathes life into deception, and the life he breathes into the monster of deception is the life we sacrificed to him.

He recycles it so that our 'donation' is 'rewarded and blessed with' torment.

The breath of Life does not originate from the Adversary.

It originally comes from YHWH Who gave it to us, but in our Sin we sacrifice the precious Life energy He gave us on the altar of the maculate temple of deception sending up thick columns of black smoke into Heaven, clouds conglomerating into a dense blanket of Darkness hovering over our heads.

If we do not change, the clouds will curse us with thick black drops of rain, and the land will change into a ruinous heap reminding us of what we have become.

Lies and the conformists to the Lie are everywhere, and there seems to be no end to the barrage of lies the Adversary wraps around the world.

It is your faith which you are going to need in the time to come more than ever before, because without it you will fall to the ground.

Trust YHWH, believe in Him, put your faith in Him, for He cannot lie nor will He ever let His children down.

How often have I written this message?

I can't write it often enough, because our unwavering trust in and love for YHWH feeds our faith, and our faith feeds our Soul, and our Soul feeds our character, so that YHWH's Life, Energy and Strength flows through this link into the character of our Soul, and we become as free as a bird flying in the sky.

The Evil One seeks to own our Soul so that its character comes to reflect the rebellion of the Evil One, and its talents are made to serve the purpose of the Adversary.

Reject the passing illusions which are nothing but traps for our Soul.

Cling to YHWH's lasting reality that He may set your Soul free and express Himself in your character, and you may be called true children of the Most High, sons and daughters in YHWH's image.
