"Ah, maybe we could start a daily Rush Prayer Thread"

"Please tell me that that was sarcasm, people. Please."

I am not joking. Prayer is very powerful. Plus, I have learned through personal experience that the more support one receives on the Road to Recovery, the better ones chances are for success. We all know Rush reads Freerepublic, and a prayer thread could help him immensely.

One of the main reasons why I am still sober today (after going into treatment at the age of 14 on November 3rd 1987) is because of n=my belief in a higher power and because I do not want to let my family and friends down.

If anyone knows how to start a daily prayer thread…please ping me on it.

I am also very interested in a daily prayer thread for Rush...There is nothing as powerful as prayer.

Father, in the name of Jesus and according to Your Word, I hereby believe in my heart and say with my mouth that Jesus is the Lord of Rush's life. I also confess that from this day forward Rush is set free and delivered from drug addiction in the name of Jesus.

Satan you and your principalities, powers, and master spirits who rule the darkness, and spiritual wickedness in high places are bound up and Rush is loosed from you in the name of Jesus, as it is written in Matthew 18:18-19. No longer can you, Satan, harass or operate any of your unclean spirits or habits over Rush. He will not become the slave of anything that exalts itself over the Word of God or be brought under its power.

I hereby confess that Rush is strengthened and reinforced with mighty power in his innerself by the Holy Spirit who lives and dwells in his innermost being. Rush is strong in the Lord. He is empowered through his union with the Lord. He draws strength from the Lord - that strength which His boundless might provides.

Rush arms himself with the full armor of God, that armor of a heavily armed soldier which God has supplied for him...the helmet of salvation...loins girded with truth...breastplate of righteousness...feet shot with the preparation of the gospel of peace...the shield of faith...and the Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God. With God's armor on, Rush is able to stand up against all the strategies and deceits and fiery darts of Satan in the name of Jesus.

As an act of his will and his faith, Rush receives complete and total freedom NOW. He is set free and delivered because he has called upon the name of the Lord, according to that which is written in His Word.

Rush is able to discipline his body and subdue it. He is strong. He is free. He withstands temptation, because Jesus is the Lord of his life. Jesus is his High Priest, and with Jesus and the Father on his side, Rush has the strength for all things. Greater is He that is in Rush than he that is in the world.

Thank You, Lord. I praise You that Rush is whole and redeemed from every evil work. With You and Your Word in Rush, he controls his body. It does not nor can it ever again control him in the name of Jesus. Hallelujah!

The comment that you received, re: starting a daily thread prayer for Rush (hoping it was sarcasm), was, imo, immature and rude.

Prayer threads, for those who ask for them....and for those who wish to participate, is a common practice on this forum. I hope that never changes.
