This is one reason why charging for prayer is so wrong:
When the CoH Team takes you to the Courts of Heaven, there are not guarantees for the results you will get; it isn’t up to us. We can usher you into the presence of God. He will decide if an instant miracle will happen on the first visit as it has happened a few times in the past, but there is NOTHING we can do to MAKE anything happen. GOD is in charge.
Some in our Team have a gift from the Holy Spirit to help interpret charges… it is the Counselor who brings this wisdom. Without Him we know nothing!
It is the petitioner who must choose to turn from the sin as they return to stand before the Judge. It is the blood of Jesus that wipes the sin out of all records of Heaven and Earth and it is the Judge who will overrule cases against them. We have no power to MAKE any of this happen. Because it is the heart of the petitioner who allows the charges to be covered by the blood and wiped out, we can make no guarantees of outcome of a trip to the Courts of Heaven.
Taking money for prayer is saying that the outcome is determined by you or that it is by your power that something is done. It is placing the emphasis on YOU instead of God.It doesn’t allow the person to acknowledge God after they receive because “donations” are taken before anything is done! In the Old Testament, the only people to accept payment before hand were proven prophets. If what they said didn't come to pass, they were killed and all prophecies given by them were chucked out. We do not have prophets who function by these rules any more, so this doesn't apply.
If the petitioner receives something from a ministry, in knowledge or prayer, it should be up to that person to give an offering. “A workman is worth his wage” is God’s way. But let the work be done first so the recipient can acknowledge God is in this work by giving an offering back. What is given should reflect what has been received: $1 from some is like $1000 from others who have much. This gift honors God and acknowledges Him in the work being done. An offering to a ministry where you receive something will allow that ministry to continue brining God to the rest of the world.
Receiving from others is hard for me. I feel like I play such a small part in it all: Without the Father, Son, and Spirit I am nothing. But I realize that I must allow others to acknowledge God for their own benefit and so this ministry can do more. For this reason, I am adding a link to the scheduling page at LynnHardy.com: Love Offerings for the Courts of Heaven can be given there after you have received something. These will go first to the expenses of Zoom accounts, website costs and such. After your visit, I hope you will pray and ask God what you should freely give to acknowledge Him. This is God’s Way!

Believers' Boot Camp series
Many people think of boot camp as a place you train for combat. Any veteran will tell you that basic training is about three things:
- Knowing what weapons are available
- Learning how to use those weapons
- Receiving orders and following them
Believer’s Boot Camp series is a collection of books which teach us how to hear more clearly from God with the goal to ready ourselves for a face-to-face meeting with our Lord, Jesus. The series reveals the “weapons and tools” God has given us and how to use them, so we can bring God’s kingdom to Earth. Each book in the series focuses on a single topic to clearly define one tool or weapon from our Heavenly Father.
The series uses the Word of God to reveal all that He has given us through Jesus. The Bible is our instruction manual and the Holy Spirit is our guide to understanding it.
Volume 1: Why Doesn't God Speak to Me?
Eager hearts cry out, hoping for a single word to confirm that He hears us. Yet, many times the only sound is silence. Over the years I have heard several reasons why God speaks to some and not to others. One night, as I tossed and turned, I brought each of these reasons before the Lord, stating why each of them did not line up with who I thought He was.
Words rose from my soul, pleading for Him to reveal why He has remained silent when a single word from Him would mean so much to so many. For the next few hours, God used things I learned about years ago and things I had just discovered to show why He talks to some and why He doesn’t, and in demonstrative ways.
In His grace, He also showed me how people could hear more from Him. Basic instructions on how to hear more from God and how to be led by Him are included in this book. Thank you for taking time to consider the answers I received and share with you now.
