SATAN AND BLOCKED PRAYERS
If the prayers of Daniel, a man “very precious to God” (Dan. 10:12-13) had his prayers blocked, and the apostle Paul, who received great revelations from God, and who also wrote half the New Testament (1 Cor. 12:1; Gal. 1:12), had his plans and prayers blocked (1 Thess. 2:18), we can expect that our prayers will also be blocked from time to time.
REVIVAL IS BEING BLOCKED
It is obvious that the prayer for revival is being blocked. Though there have been tens of thousands who have prayed for revival for several decades, the hoped for revival has yet to materialize. Instead of revival there is a continual encroaching influence of the world into the Church.
HOPE IS ALIVE
For those with the gift of faith, and the persistence to keep marching forward, regardless of the obstacles and barriers preventing revival, the sought for objective will be obtained—which is a renewed awareness of the presence and power of Jesus working once again through His Church.
