If we regard iniquity in our hearts, Yahweh does not hear our prayers.How
Can we Pray for others let alone our ownselves when we finded iniquity in our hearts Is it at all possible to pray in anger, or being
in the act of annoyance or of being cross, impatience irritation, angry because
of something unjust, unworthy, or mean, , outrage, or even
, ill temper, etc toward any person? Iniquity
brings our prayers to naught, and he hears us not
The Tongue
But no man is able to tame the tongue. It is unruly, evil, filled
with deadly poison. With it we bless our Elohim and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in the likeness of
Elohim. For we all stumble in many matters. If anyone does not stumble in word, he is a perfect man, able also to bridle
the entire body. And the tongue is a fire, the world of unrighteousness. Among our members the tongue is set, the one defiling
the entire body, and setting on fire the wheel of life, and it is set on fire by Gehenna. You loved all devouring words, O
tongue of deceit. For lack of wood, the fire goes out. And without a slanderer, strife ceases. it is written if I regard iniquity in my heart, yahweh’shua will not hear my prayers, besides the prayer of repentance?
Iniquity has different meanings in different sitituations, defined for that scripture, lets examine them
OLD TESTAMENT
Gen 15:16
“Then, in the fourth generation they shall return here, for the crookedness of the Amorites is not yet complete.”
1. The Yahweh’shua foreknows the moral character of people.
2. In his providence he administers the affairs of nations
on the principle of moral rectitude.
3 Nations
are spared until their iniquity is full.
4 They
are then cut off in retributive justice.
5 The Amorite was
to be the chief nation extirpated for its
iniquity
on the return of the seed
of Abram.

Num 5:15
then the
man shall bring his wife to the priest. And he shall bring the offering for her, one-tenth of an ĕphah of barley flour.
He is not to pour oil on it or put frankincense on it, because it is a grain offering of jealousy, an offering for remembering,
for bringing crookedness to remembrance.
The trial of jealousy.
Since the crime of adultery is especially defiling and destructive of the very foundations of social order, the whole
subject is dealt with at a length proportionate to its importance. The offering was to be of the cheapest and coarsest kind,
representing the abused condition of the suspected woman.
The sin of adultery is justly represented as
an exceedingly sinful sin; it is going aside from God and virtue, and the good way,
Pro_2:17.
Who
forsakes the companion of her youth, And has
forgotten the covenant of her Elohim.
It
is committing a trespass against the husband, robbing
him of his honour, alienating
his
right,
introducing a spurious breed into his family to share
with his children in his estate, and
violating
her covenant with him. It is being defiled; for
nothing pollutes the mind and
conscience more than this sin does.
It is supposed to be a sin which great care
is taken by the sinners to conceal, which there is no witness of.
Job_24:15
And the eye of the adulterer watches for dusk,
saying, ‘No eye sees me.’ And he puts a covering on the fac
And the adulteress takes her opportunity when the good
man is not at home,
Pro_7:19.
For my husband is not at home; He has gone on a long journey;
It
would not covet to be secret if it were not shameful; and the devil who draws sinners to this sin teaches them how to cover
it.

The spirit of jealousy is supposed to come upon the husband, of which Solomon says, It is the rage of a
man
(Pro_6:34),
For jealousy enrages a man, And he does not spare in the day of vengeance.
and that it is cruel as the grave,
Son_8:6.
Set me as a seal upon your heart, As a seal upon your arm; For love is as strong as death, Jealousy as cruel as the
grave; Its flames are flames of fire, a flame of Yah!

which is continually done by them, yet their sins are removed from them, and have been laid on yahweh’shua, and he has
bore them, and made reconciliation for them, and made an end of them, and has redeemed and saved them from them; and yahweh,
by imputing his righteousness to them, has justified them from all their sins, has forgiven all their iniquities, and blotted
out all their transgressions, and has cast them behind his back, and into the depths of the sea, and has removed them as far
from them as the east is from the west: and when yahweh is said not to see or behold iniquity in his people, it is to be understood,
not of his eye of Omniscience, with which he sees not only the sins of all men, but those of his own people also, and takes
notice of them in a providential way, and chastises them for them; but of his eye of avenging justice, and purity regards
the article of justification, which is a full discharge from all sin, and a perfect covering of it from the justice of Yahweh

Rom 1:6.
among whom you also are the called ones
of יהושע Messiah.
2 Cor 6.
And working
together, we also call upon you not to receive the favour of Elohim in vain –
For He says, “In an acceptable time I have heard you, and in a day of deliverance I have helped you.” See,
now is the well-accepted time, see, now is a day of deliverance – giving
no cause of stumbling in whatever, so that the service is not blamed. Rather,
we commend ourselves as servants of Elohim in every way: in much endurance, in pressures, in hardships, in distresses, in stripes, in imprisonments, in disturbances, in toils, in watchings, in fastings, in cleanness, in knowledge, in patience, in kindness, in the Set-apart Spirit, in
love unfeigned, in the word of truth, in the power of Elohim, through the weapons of righteousness, on the right and on the
left, through esteem and disrespect, through evil report and good report; regarded
as deceivers, and yet true; as unknown, and yet well-known; as dying, and see,
we live; as disciplined, and yet not killed; as sad, yet always rejoicing; as
poor, yet enriching many; as having none, and yet possessing all. Our mouth has
spoken openly to you, O Corinthians, our heart is wide open. You are not restrained by us, but you are restrained by your
own affections. But for the same reward – I speak as to children –
open wide your hearts too. Do not become unevenly yoked with unbelievers.
For what partnership have righteousness and lawlessness? And what fellowship has light with darkness? And what agreement has
Messiah with Beliyaʽal? Or what part does a believer have with an unbeliever? And what union
has the Dwelling Place of Elohim with idols? For you are a Dwelling Place of the living Elohim, as Elohim has said, “I
shall dwell in them and walk among them, and I shall be their Elohim, and they shall be My people.” Therefore, “Come out from among them and be separate, says יהוה, and do not touch what is unclean, and I shall receive you. “And I shall be a Father to you,
and you shall be sons and daughters to Me, says יהוה the Almighty.”
Every transgression of the law is unrighteousness.
