Sons! Why Your Prayers Are Hindered

See Here! The time has come for the sifting of faith. Some of you have already experienced the sifting while others have yet to experience it. Some of you are experiencing it now. I AM calling you to attention. There is no work that you can do that will please Me unless it is mixed with faith. I AM not a respector of persons but I AM a respector of faith. Faith works by Love. I have shed abroad in your hearts Love when I brought you into the new birth. You have all you need to walk in faith and love. I hear the frustration on the earth of those who feel they are not seeing the fruit of their faith.

When you pray I have said for you to pray in faith and forgiving anyone who has trespassed against you that your prayers in heaven will be heard. Husbands you have wondered why your prayers have been hindered. I have spoken clearly as in times passed, that if you do not honor your wives your prayers would be hindered.

1 Peter 3:7
Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered.

I AM the God of Joy! I laugh! But how grieved I AM when I hear the poking of fun toward wives by husbands in the name of humor. How grieved I AM that this continues in my church. Marriage as ordained as holy and sacred unto me is being profaned by this activity. I command it to end now that your prayers may not be hindered. Wives do not retaliate with unedifying jokes toward husbands. These jokes bring division between you. It is not honor! It does not bring Joy! It is a trap set to bring hurt and division by the enemy. Why is there a need to poke at one another in this manner? Take note of your hearts

Luke 6:45
A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.

In all your speech be holy!

Colossians 4:6
Let your speech be alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.

Do not fall into this device of your enemy. It may seem harmless and light hearted but it is not My Will for you. Build one another up. Let your speech be an honor to me and to your spouses that the glory of Your Lord may shine upon you.

Psalm 51:10
Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.

I speak this to you now that you may have understanding. I see you as One Flesh, as I and My Father are One. Would I speak of My Father in this manner? Would I jest? Come to the knowledge of Me and let me heal your disappointments. Let me heal those childhood wounds. These are not Who you are in Me for you are righteous in Me. Come now and let us reason together for the sake of My Kingdom on earth. You are my ambassadors. Faith works by Love. You will see the work of faith, the unfruitful prayers turn around as you do My Word to you in this day. I have plans for you, I have things to accomplish in you, yield this day that I may do this work quickly through a willing vessel. Sons, if you hear my voice today, do not harden your hearts.

Titus 2
⁷ In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine shewing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity,
⁸ Sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of you.
