Prayer

“For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.” (Matthew 24:5)
1. Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. 2.This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, 3. but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the anti-christ, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world. 1 John 4.

Father, through the sacrifice of Your own beloved Son, we pray that You will help us receive Your will that we might be pleasing in Your eyes as we interceed and request these blessings on behalf of Your children:

Prayer, too, for Your saints here on earth who go about their daily struggles to maintain the faith and work toward righteousness. Uplift them, Father, that they might overcome the challenges set before them and set themselves apart from the world. You know my heart, Lord, and those for whom I am praying. Give them peace and comfort through salvation, and the courage to put on Your full armor and battle the evil overtaking this world.

8/19 – “Brothers and Sisters, Thanks for continuing to pray for mom (Gail Barley). God has different timing than we would choose as the biopsy on the tumor in the sinus area came back malignant. Here is the run-down: Chemotherapy for the tumor in her abdomen (and cancer in general) has been working well. The abdomenal tumor has gotten much smaller. But chemo is now on hold for a few weeks. -Her hip was weakened by a tumor. She has a hairline fracture in her hip now so is having hip surgery tomorrow (Thursday)  afternoon. Radiation on her sinus area will begin next week. Radiation on her hip will begin after she recovers a bit from the surgery. Chemo will resume in approximately 3-4 weeks. The doctors are confident that both areas of radiation are “targetable” and the tumors will be irradicated. We are also confident that God will continue to not only use the amazing doctors we have here but also begin more obvious supernatural healing. Please join us as we pray for this healing without wavering in our belief in our promise-fulfilling God. He is bigger than our circumstances and loving in all his ways.” Father, if it be Your will, please be with this wonderful family, and particularly Bill, as they weather this trial of faith.

4/7 – Wanted to write and ask for everyone prayers for Dans mom (Marjorie) and his step dad (Jr.) . Mom has to have triple stent surgery Wednesday morning as the main artery in both legs are clogged and she needs a stent to her heart. As of now all they are thinking they have to do is go in and put stents in all of them. She had a bypass a few years ago, so I sure hope and pray everything goes ok.
