When Healing Prayers Aren't Working: Spiritual Warfare for Real

by Gene Smith

Why do prayers not get answered? Or at least they seem to go unanswered. Have you ever prayed repeatedly for things in your life and nothing changed? Have you felt like your prayers were being ignored? You pray with all your being, in tears for emotional healing, physical healing or help in a situation and yet no assistance from the Creator seems to come. You ask yourself, "Doesn't He care? If God is so good why is this happening to me?" It's time to say, "Enough is enough!" You need to know why your prayers are not getting answered. In this book, Gene explains the various reasons why your prayer is having little to no effect, and it's not that God simply said, "No." Learning what is hindering your prayer will enable you to make the appropriate change and start getting the results that you need! Gene Smith is a minister and international teacher and evangelist conveying the obstacles that we establish and sustain in our lives that hinder the answers to our prayers. Smith explains that our imagination connects us to the spiritual realm. Our imagination can be used effectively, or detrimentally, by choosing powerful thoughts and words. Topics of faith, healing methods, the power of our words and thoughts, evil spirits and curses, and various types of healing are all addressed from a logical, unique position that answers age-old questions with clarity and directness. When Healing Prayers Aren’t Working gives professional insight for a more meaningful and successful life through a better understanding of the character of God, our thoughts, our actions, and the spiritual realm.

About the author

Eugene Owen Smith was born in Manhattan on May 9, 1929, to Sara and Julius Smith. His father was a lawyer. After graduating from the University of Wisconsin with a degree in history, he attended law school (at his father’s insistence) for six months.

After dropping out, he was drafted into the Army and served in Germany in the early 1950s. Returning to New York, Mr. Smith got a job as a clerk at Newsweek and by 1956 was a reporter at The Newark Star-Ledger
.
He joined The New York Post a year later and left in 1960 to write his first book, “The Life and Death of Serge Rubinstein” (1962), about the still-unsolved 1955 murder of an unscrupulous Wall Street millionaire.

Among Mr. Smith’s other books are “When the Cheering Stopped: The Last Years of Woodrow Wilson,” (1964); “High Crimes and Misdemeanors: The Impeachment and Trial of Andrew Johnson” (1977); “Lee and Grant: A Dual Biography” (1984); and “Until the Last Trumpet Sounds: The Life of General of the Armies John J. Pershing” (1998), a study of the commander of the American Expeditionary Force of World War I.

Shortly before his death, Mr. Smith wrote a brief obituary of himself, in third-person singular. It says, “He used to muse that if there was an afterlife — granted a long shot, he said — he’d love it for the opportunities offered to interview people he studied in life.”

Mr. Smith died from bone cancer; he was eighty-three at the time of his death.
