In this episode, Daré Akinsanya unpacks the truth about God’s favor and why vengeance, judgment, and condemnation were never meant to rest in human hands. Drawing from Psalm 130:3, 1 Corinthians 10:12, and Galatians 6:1–2, we are reminded that none of us is without fault and our calling is to restore, not trample, those who stumble.

Daré shares a personal encounter with the Holy Spirit that shifted his perspective on favor—from something to plead for, to something already secured in Christ. Through Luke 2:52 and Exodus 3:21, we learn that while favor is given by relationship, it also grows as we walk in wisdom, obedience, and love.

Listeners will be encouraged to see God’s impartial grace—He causes His sun to shine on both the just and unjust (Matthew 5:45)—and to reject condemnation. Instead, we are invited to walk boldly in the freedom of Romans 8:1–4 and, if needed, take the step of repentance and salvation through Christ.

This episode closes with a heartfelt prayer, a call to restoration, and an invitation to grow deeper in faith through Daré’s book Yes and Amen.

Tune in and be reminded: God’s favor is already yours, and His mercy outweighs every accusation.

In this episode, we revisit the vital truth that prayer is warfare. Prayer is not only communion with God—it is also contested ground, where the enemy actively schemes to hinder and weaken believers. This session recaps the six ambushes Satan uses against prayer and how we can stand firm against them.

Key Points Covered:

1. Before We Pray: Discouragement – Satan whispers, “Why bother?” to wear us down. But persistence in prayer is never wasted.
2. While We Are Praying: Distraction or Praying Amiss – Noises, wandering thoughts, or self-centered motives derail prayer. Grounding prayers in God’s Word keeps us focused.
3. After We Pray: Doubt – Like Peter sinking on the water, doubt pulls us under. Faith is the antidote, for without it we cannot please God.
4. After Dispatch: Delivery Interference – The enemy cannot stop God from answering but works to delay or cloud our perception, as seen in Daniel’s 21-day delay.
5. During Delivery: Delivery Sabotage – When answers look too small, ordinary, or overwhelming, Satan tempts us to dismiss them. Yet God often works in surprising ways.
6. After Delivery: No Retreat, No Surrender – The enemy is relentless, circling back with fresh attacks. This is why vigilance is essential.

Standing Against Ambushes:

We also explored six strategies to guard against these schemes:

• Stay rooted in the Word.
• Remain sober and vigilant.
• Guard your heart.
• Walk in community.
• Stay sensitive to the Holy Spirit.
• Learn to recognize the enemy’s patterns.

As Ephesians 6:11 reminds us, we must “put on the whole armor of God” to stand firm.

Invitation to Salvation:

For listeners who are not yet in Christ, this episode extends a heartfelt invitation to receive Jesus as Lord and Savior, with a guided prayer of repentance and acceptance into God’s kingdom.

Closing:

The episode concludes with encouragement: Prayer is not just survival—it is dominion. Every prayer in faith enforces Christ’s victory over the enemy. Listeners are also thanked for their ongoing support, feedback, and partnership in spreading the message.

In this powerful recap episode of Perspective Shifts: Unveiling Paradigms in Perceptions, we revisit the life-changing truths we’ve been studying over the past several weeks about prayer. Prayer is more than words—it is a spiritual journey that unfolds in five distinct phases:

1. Uterance – Praying validly in faith, without doubting, and in alignment with God’s will.
2. God Hears – The assurance that our petitions are acknowledged the very moment they’re prayed.
3. God Answers – Heaven begins moving, orchestrating the answer, even when unseen.
4. God Dispatches – God releases the answer immediately, but spiritual opposition may attempt to delay it.
5. Delivery / Manifestation – The fulfillment of God’s promise, received by faith, thanksgiving, and perseverance.

This episode is both a reminder and a roadmap. You’ll be encouraged to stand firm in prayer, trust God’s timing, and recognize that delays are never denials. You’ll also be challenged to “watch over your prayers” just as God watches over His Word to perform it.
