Prayers requested during week of 1/06/01
For this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: "The jar of flour will not be used up and the jug of oil will not run dry until the day the Lord gives rain upon the land." She went away and did as Elijah had told her. So there was food every day for Elijah and for the woman and her family. For the jar of flour was not used up and the jug of oil did not run dry, in keeping with the word of the Lord spoken by Elijah. (1 Kings 17:14-16)
Heavenly Father, thank You for caring for this woman and her family as You did. Thank You that our daily needs will also be supplied from Your generous and endless bounty. Please continue to care for us, Mighty Father, in every way.
Father, You have created us to be co-inheritors with Your Son, Jesus Christ. Grant us Your grace and wisdom, speak words of counsel to us through Your Holy Spirit, and ever hold us fast in Your hand that we may not stray from the paths You have selected for us. Thank You for the magnificent gift of salvation through our Brother, Jesus. Forgive us for all of our iniquities, especially those little things that we withhold from You, either because we don't think them important enough to bother You with, or because we want to direct the outcome ourselves without Your divine help. Forgive us and be patient with us always, Abba.
Father, You know every concern, problem and need expressed within our prayer threads. You know the deep things of every heart. You know our hopes, our dreams and our plans. Sort them all out, Dear Lord, and help us to direct our attentions to You and not to the world. We have a blessed eternity to spend with You, in a place where our every hope and desire will be fulfilled. Help us, Mighty God, to wait for those days to come and not try to intervene in this lifetime in ways that are not in keeping with Your perfect will. satan tries at every opportunity to subvert and sabotage Your perfect plans, and too often we are quite willing to follow his suggestions. Help us, Father, to surrender ALL things to You...for we have nothing to fear from Your hands.
Father, many of us are concerned for material things. You know each of these needs. Guide us as we seek to do the right things in providing for our families and loved ones. Open doors and opportunities for those of us seeking jobs, careers, or educational direction. Let us not be fooled by our own desires or the false assumptions and advice of others, but rather let us stick close to the things You want for us. You have wrought many miracles for us all, Dearest Father. Please continue to provide these answers at the right moment, and in such a way that no one will be able to deny Your providence.
Thank You Father for all these things. Thank You for hearing our prayers even before we speak or write them. Bless our families and loved ones, prosper each of us in every endeavor. In Jesus' name I ask these things, that Your plans may not be thwarted in any way...Amen!
Last weekend, my husband was at Dad's home, doing their laundry, fixing their dinner, etc., as he always does on weekends. His brother was lying to him repeatedly about something, and my husband tried to get him to sit down on the bed so they could discuss it. The brother resisted, and ended up hitting his head on a windowsill. After he returned to the group home with a bump on his head, the group home people contacted the sheriff , started a criminal investigation for assault, filed for an order of protection (which contains absolutely false allegations of abuse) and quite clearly are trying to turn the disabled brother against my husband. The reason they're doing this is to get full control of his disability checks, as my brother-in-law is the only one of their "clients" who hasn't made them payee. Of course, there's no accounting given of what they do with these poor peoples' money, and we believe they're making big, untaxed profits off of these handicapped people.
Please pray that the truth will come out at the 1/18 hearing, that the police will not file criminal charges where no crime was committed and that justice will be done.
Father, in Jesus Name, with the devil bound and those demons rebuked, Father, send the Holy Ghost, the Spirit of Liberty, the Comforter, into this family NOW, in Jesus Name. Heavenly Father, let Mountaineer, her husband, and all wronged in this matter by satan, FEEL THE HOLY SPIRIT RIGHT NOW!! LET THEM FEEL THE POWER OF GOD BURNING AND MOVING IN THEIR STOMACHS, IN JESUS NAME, CONVINCING AND CONVICTING ALL--ALL THAT GOD IS RIGHTEOUS AND JUST, FULL OF MERCY AND COMPASSION,IN JESUS CHRIST'S NAME!
Praise God. Hallelujah!! Praise the Lord, thank You, Jesus. Glory to God! Remove all fear and uncertainty from these people, in Jesus Name. Bring the peace that passeth all understanding upon mountaineer, her husband, and all wronged--FREE THEM FROM ALL CURSES, AS THEY ARE WHOLLY REDEEMED BY JESUS' BLOOD, IN JESUS NAME!! Mountaineer is redeemed, as is her husband, and Your sacred and potent wall of protection surrounds them, in Jesus Name,
Amen and Amen
Please give wisdom to those that Mountaineer and her husband seek advice and give all of them extra strength to go through this very hard time.
In Jesus name, Amen
