Why Do Some Prayers Break Through...

What if the reason your prayers aren’t being answered… isn’t what you think?

In this powerful episode of The UPSide, host Marion MacKenzie Pyle sits down with author and teacher Steve Hemphill to uncover the reality of spiritual warfare—and the hidden strongholds that may be blocking your prayers.

Drawing from Scripture and real-life experiences, Steve offers a perspective that may challenge traditional thinking: sometimes, prayer alone is not enough. Instead, Scripture reveals a pattern of “prayer plus action”—a deeper level of spiritual engagement that addresses the unseen barriers at work.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

• Why “prayer alone” is sometimes not enough
• The biblical principle of “prayer plus action”
• How spiritual strongholds can hinder breakthrough
• Practical strategies like fasting, anointing, and applying the Word
• The impact of unconfessed sin and generational patterns
• Why spiritual authority matters in your everyday life

This conversation is both eye-opening and empowering—equipping you with practical, biblical tools to pray more effectively and step into greater spiritual victory.

If you’ve been praying for something for years and haven’t seen change, this episode may shift your perspective—and your results.
