Prayer Corner 2


 

Praise the Lord for He is worthy to be praised! Because of all of the prayer support I've asked for and received related to my future husband's struggle with obedience to Christ, just as He promised He would if I was obedient and posted EXACTLY the prayers He told me to post and DESPITE NAYSAYERS who believed I should give up on this man, THE LORD HAS REDEEMED THE MAN ORDAINED FOR MY LIFE FROM THE PIT! He removed the scales from his eyes over the past few weeks and, though it was a hard struggle, brought him to the foot of the cross! This man finally recommitted himself fully to Christ last night and I was there to witness it! His change was real and immediate, and though he faces many struggles over the next few weeks as the Lord dismantles his "Old Jerusalem" and builds a "New Jerusalem" for us to live out his promise for our life, he is on fire for Christ in a way I've never seen him. (He is already wondering why he didn't do it "like this" before and already KNO WS he doesn't want to go back to where he was because he is convinced that, in Christ, his life is ALREADY better!) I am trusting the Lord that, as He has promised me, He will keep him in His hand and not let Him go...he will not be put to shame in backslidings again! Thank you for all of your prayer support and continue to pray for my future husband's strength in the battle because it has really just begun. But we know in Whom he has the victory and the Lord will exchange beauty for ashes and though my future husband my weep in the night, as he sows in tears, he will reap the joy that WILL come in the morning! NEVER give up on what the Lord has not declared dead because nothing is too hard for the Lord, Who, it you have a sure word from Him, can resurrect ANY dream or vision or redeem ANY person from the pit! Praise the Lord

Praise the Lord for He is worthy! He has answered the prayers of those of us who prayed that my son get a job (since he hasn't had one since April or May). After we prayed, the Lord revealed to me that my son would have to perform a particular task before getting work--one that would seem completely unrelated to his getting work. But, the idea was that he be obedient and do this thing the Lord called him to do and he did that yesterday. TODAY, he got the news he'd gotten the job! The Lord honored his obedience immediately. Anyhow, my son starts his new job at a local drug store on Monday and while it's only temporary work until he gets work in law enforcement, on his way to a career in the FBI, to which the Lord called him at age 13! Thank you, Jesus, for being our Jehovah Jireh and providing this opportunity for my son to be obedient to your call for him to be a responsible young man!

The prayers of God's saints HAVE availed much! I am being blessed to see the hand of the Lord move in this situation, rapidly changing the people and removing the things that have long delayed the fullfillment of His promise for my life! It is happening as rapidly as Babylon was destroyed, just as He revealed to me it would! Because of our faithful prayers, He destroying the enemies of His covenant just as He declared He would "if his people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face." He is delivering the man He has ORDAINED for my life from his backslidings and healing and restoring our relationship! But, we still need you storm the gates of heaven on our behalf!

My beloved, the man of God's promise for my life, has finally left his Wilderness of Sin and is in the process of routing all of the enemies of God (idols, activities, practices, people) from his life that he brought with him from the Egypt the Lord told him to leave in 2003. These enemies caused him to see giants in the promised land the Lord gave him to take; that caused him to murmur against God and refuse to cross the Jordan and take Canaan as God called him to do then. After experiencing 3 1/2 years of tribulation because of his disobedience (backsliding), he has finally turned back to the Lord and is on his way back to take the promised land for his own life (our life together)! BUT, for the Lord to bring him (and me) into this much more spacious place, he MUST continue to remove ALL those things the Lord has committed to destruction in his life. He must also CEASE murming against the Lord about that which He has committed to destruction (i.e., casting up against the knowledge of God arguments and pretentions he creates in his own mind as excuses to keep "just this one little thing") and obey NOW. Please pray fervently in agreement with me that, during this painful, bloody, personal period of circumcision of his heart and mind, but will instead, Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go. Please pray that we both do and we can enter the Lord's promised land for our life together in His promised timing. Thank you ALL for your faithfulness in praying these prayers!

Christine 5.27.06

   

Please pray that my husband & I can get 2 cars running soon. He needs a job soon as well, but we only have 1 vehicle (and it is in MAJOR need or repairs itself)but we both must have a car to get back and forth to work. He used to work on a different shift and we shared the 1 car, but he has not been able to find a job on another shift. I truly feel with all my heart that the Lord doesn't want him on a different shift anyway, because our marriage came really close to divorce when he was working a different shift.
After he lost his job of 6 years (out of the blue)he got saved and we joined a great church! GOD has worked so much in his life! I have seen growth in him and I have been praying for this to happen for 20 years! Funny thing, now that its happening, it seems we are so bombarded with problems, financial being the top one. We almost lost our new home, we are behind on EVERYTHING, but I will not lose my faith! Please join me in praying that a breakthrough happens and we can actually get AHEAD and not have to worry about how we are going to feed our family next week or how we will work out the car issues! This should be a time of rejoicing over my husbands salvation, not figuring out all this other stuff! Thank you and GOD BLESS you all!

SA 5.22.06

   

Please pray for protection, guidance, and victory in our lives for myself and my husband. Please pray that my husband and I are able to be united in our beliefs and that we are able to grow strong together in the Lord. Please pray that lies, judgements,and evil forces against us are destroyed and stopped in the name of Jesus.
Thank you for your prayers and for caring enough to pray for others. May the Lord bless you richly with all those things that make your heart sing! Your sister in Christ, Amy :)
