Spirituality is born from a personal occurrence with a divine, psychic or mystical experience of one form or another which inevitably connects a person to All that Is/God/Goddess/Allah/Great Spirit /whatever you want to call it.
Religion is second hand opinion of someone else’s divine experience. I think you will find that religions, and especially fanatical religions, tend to separate and divide people, while spirituality brings people together.
Thank God that Spirituality is on the increase!

Egads. I have never heard of these people, but I really doubt they have the time to give you that much attention. If your prayers seem weak to you, maybe it has nothing to do with anything anyone else is doing, perhaps you need to spend more time in prayer, or spend the time to meditate on your faith, and find out what is going on inside of you, and see if you can figure out why you are having doubts. Since you are Christian, I will say that if I remember my sunday school correctly, even the Lord had moments of doubt and fear.
If the issue for you is that you think your prayers aren't being heard, and you are trying to chalk it up to outside interference,
********all prayers are heard.* *********
I will say it again.
**********all prayers are heard.*********
Sometimes the answer is no. Sometimes the answer is not yet. Sometimes there simply is no good way to answer what you are praying for, or not the answer that you want to hear. Prayer is not about instant gratification, and especially not if the things you are praying for are the wrong things to pray for, or if you are praying with the wrong attitude in your heart, or with doubts wether you are being heard.
This stuff sounds like something you maybe read in a book somewhere or heard on television? Do you have proof of this stuff, or just the word of someone you may or may not know personally?
I am not a Christian, but off hand I would say that you perhaps need to be a little more discriminating about what sort of things you are feeding your head with, and look for more positive and uplifting things to think about, and pray for, and spend more time reading uplifting things that bolster your faith, instead of seeding doubt in your life.
Matthew 17:20
He replied, "Because you have so little faith. I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you."
Matthew 17:19-21
Note: and doubt the size of a mustard seed can do great damage, cuts both ways.
2 Chronicles 19:3
3Nevertheless there are good things found in thee, in that thou hast taken away the groves out of the land, and hast prepared thine heart to seek God.

Then why doesn't God destroy this 'force-field'? And isn't Satan powerless against Him?
It doesn't really make sense.
