Doing It Right Makes Prayer Work[ edit | delete ]

"And we have this confidence in him, that if we ask anything ACCORDING TO HIS WILL, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us in regard to whatever we ask, we know that what we have asked him for is ours." 1 John 5:14-15.

The Archangel YHVH hears every prayer. He relays every prayer to Ain Soph, the true G-d. Every prayer that is in the Will of the Archangel is answered, because He heard it. He does not "hear" those prayers that are not in His Will. So what is the practical result of this doctrine for the Saints.

First, the Archangel YHVH, the King of Heaven, Lord of all that Lives, Creator, Sustainer and Destroyer, is aided by the seven other Archangels to govern this Universe in Justice. The Saints are on a path to Heaven where they will become like the Angels. They are already not human any longer. They are half divine by their election and obedience. However, as no Saint ever has a perfect telephone line to heaven and considering that most of our lines are filled with static and governed by our poor hearing, we do not always hear the Will of the Father well. The Archangel then begins to interfere more directly in our lives. Business goes down. Unexpected bills increase. Difficulties arise at home and work and with friends. We know that we are doing something wrong. Probably our ego has gotten in the way and we are no longer ACCORDING TO HIS WILL. So, he tries to bring us back to the right path.

I have lived in my current house for seven years; that is the longest I have lived anywhere. It had taken on the aspect of permanence. I liked having a home. I liked knowing where I lived. The City working for the Archangel began to give me trouble over a crumbling wall on my house. Now it had been crumbling off and on for 60 years, but they started giving me trouble. My neighbors were not in compliance either, but the Archangel saw no advantage in pushing their buttons. I knew that my house was not holding the community values down, becaue the assessed value went up anywhere from 20 to 40% per year. After much fighting, I gave up and put the house on the market. The attorney for city said: "Sell the house and all this goes away." I sold the house. Almost immediately, business picked up, I found a new apartment in a day, all the things that went along with the move started falling in place, my mother moved, Eric moved. I knew that I had done the right thing. I did not like it, but I knew I was in HIS WILL again.

All too often we fall out of the Will of the Father and he has to bring us back. Now nothing I did would be sin to a regular person. But I am not a regular person; I am slave of G-d and therefore, I must be more carefully sheparded. How may of you are there? How many of you have problems that are caused primarily by your ego and stubbornness, your desire to hold on to security when G-d is our only security. If you do it right, prayer works.
