Breakthrough Is Coming!

Dan 10:12-13  Then said he unto me, Fear not, Daniel: for from the first day that thou didst set thine heart to understand, and to chasten thyself before thy God, thy words were heard, and I am come for thy words. But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days: but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I remained there with the kings of Persia.

This passage is a wonderful teaching on prayer and shows us
the direct hindrance Satan can be in our lives. 

Daniel had fasted and prayed for twenty-one difficult days. As far as we can tell from the biblical account, the difficulty came not because Daniel was not a good person nor because his prayer was not right but because of a special attack from Satan.
 
The Lord had sent His angelic messenger to tell Daniel that his prayer was answered the moment he began to pray, but the good angel was hindered by an evil angel who met him along the way and wrestled with him.

This conflict occurred in the heavens, yet Daniel experienced the same kind of conflict here on earth as he agonized in prayer.

Eph 6:12  For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 

Satan’s attack and the ensuing struggle delayed the answer three full weeks.

Daniel was nearly defeated, and Satan would have been glad to kill him, but God would not allow anything to come upon Daniel beyond what he could bear. (See 1 Cor. 10:13.)
 
Many prayers of believers are hindered by Satan.Yet you do not need to fear when your unanswered prayers are piling up, for soon they will break through like a flood.

When that happens, not only will your answers flow through but they will also be accompanied by new blessings.

The most worthy souls will be tested with the most pressure and the highest heat, but heaven will not desert them.
