This request was just brought to my attention.  In passing it on to you I'll suggest that we call
David Washington's name out to God and be specific for him.  Pray that David feel God's presence as he sees the killer get justice.  Pray that David will learn to forgive the man so that God will take revenge on him.   Pray that David and his family find peace through the whole trial process.  Pray that God shows David how to be an advocate against violence so he can turn his hatred into energy for a good cause.
God is able to do all this and more.

Thanks - your partner in intercession,

"Please keep my family in your prayers my mom isn't doing well she has been in the hospital almost 2 weeks, they have decided they want to do surgery again. A little scared last time she has surgery she almost didn't wake up.

Kendall (my husband) is 4 rooms down from her with some heart issues they think he is having mini strokes ...so running a bunch of test not sure when he will come home either."

NOTE:  The above request is from a friend of mine in Oklahoma.  Thank you for helping me  take this family on a pallet of prayer to Jesus who suffered stripes for our healing.

Oh Father, the Francis family needs you tonight.  Father, I ask you to guide the Doctors in their decisions that affect Kerri's Mother and Kendall her husband.  May they run tests that shows the problem areas of their body.  I know your Word speaks of the "truth" that sets us free.  When we know what we are dealing with, there is no darkness where the accuser can tempt us with lies.  Lord your word is a lamp unto our feet, and a light to our path.  Thank you that you have given us FAITH to move mountains.  The mountain of worry, concern, illness, and unanswered questions are mountains I speak to tonight.  In Jesus Name you will come down oh Mountain of worry, illness and the darkness which tries to shroud our future. 

My God will bring truth into each  life, and increase our faith to believe that He is in control, and this too shall pass.

In Jesus Name,

Thanks everyone for praying,

It has been brought to my attention that a friend of mine who lives in Mississippi is very ill.  She was diagnosed with colon cancer last year, but it has been in remission for many months.  I got to see Sue when we visited our home church on "Homecoming" and really thought she was doing well.  However since two weeks ago, there have been several tests that show the cancer is now in her lumbar spine.

Naturally our question is "How long do I have"? to which the Doctor's reply has been "the best we can calculate  about 18 months." 

Her pain is excruciating and even in the face of her pain, she holds on to faith in what God is capable of doing in dire circumstances.

Sue's husband has Parkinson's and therefore of little help to her.  You may pray how you feel led to pray, however my prayer will be like this.

"Oh God who sees everything. Oh Lord who feels our pain.  Oh Jesus who suffered stripes for our healing - bring a miracle to my friend Sue.  There is nothing too hard for thee and I believe the day of Miracles is not over.  Your Word tells us "without Faith, it is impossible to please God," and Lord I know Sue's faith has been a testimony of your power at work in her life. 

Please Lord, reward her faith with a miracle.  I believe you can.  However I pray your will be done in all things.

In Jesus name  AMEN

Yours for intercession,
Doris

New Request:

I need a financial miracle this week.  I know God's children do not have to beg - so with that in mind, I ask that you ask the Father to work a miracle. 

PRAYER:
Lord you said, "Prove me now, and see if I won't open up the windows of heaven and pour you out a blessing..." .  Lord I pray this scripture for my friend who is in need.  I know you delight in supplying the needs of your children.  With faith in the God who owns everything, I ask this in Jesus Name.

Youe partner in intercession,

April 22, 2010 Prayer request

A prayer request has been breought to my attention and I want to pass it on.  Someone from my writing group is in the Critical care unit of our local hospital.  Les is an author and all round great man.  He has internal bleeding, and the Doctor is doing everything he can to releave him of his suffering.  I understand he has sarosis (not sure of spelling) of the liver.

His wife is concerned about his relationship with God.  I am too.  While praying for the Lord to give him mercy, also pray for him to realize his need for a savior. 

Thanks for being there in intercession.

Thanks - Doris

Night of Anguish, Morning of Hope!

I am one of the women who watched the horrific crucifixion of the man we called Lord and Savior. I've cried until there are no tears left. My throat is dry; my tongue thirst for water, my headaches, my body is heavy with grieving.

You see I do remember hearing Him say, "That the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders, and of the chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again."

But I was not prepared for the pain of seeing Him suffer in agony, crying out for thirst only to be given vinegar.

I knew the high priest and elders was not pleased with all the good He was doing. I just didn't know how far they would go to get rid of Him. Treating Him as a common thief, the lowest of the low, wanting Him to beg for His life.

It is dark now. An unusual darkness; A heavy thick darkness; A darkness I can feel in my flesh. There are a few lights in the city, but for the most part the earth has closed itself up as though grieving for its creator. The same with the skies. There are no stars out, the moon is hidden, in fact, the sun should be going down about now, but there is no more light at the end at the end of this day. Darkness came early.

I'm trying to think positive. I'm trying to visualize seeing Him again as He said. The Sabbath is still three days away, and I don't want to wait. My impatience is unchecked. I need to hear Him one more time; I need to see Him again at Martha's house. I want to sit at His feet and be blessed.

The Sabbath has passed.
"OK" I yell to Mary the Mother of Jesus, and Salome  who wait outside my door. 
"I have been waiting for you".
We are on our way to the tomb of Jesus to anoint His body. The sun will be up in a little while, and already the darkness is dispelling - giving way to the glorious rays of the sun just below the horizon. There is something different about today.

I've spent time these past few days since the crucifixion thinking about what a mess I was in when I met Jesus. They said He cast seven devils from me. That is probably true. I needed a savior. I was so tormented and troubled. I was grievously afflicted by the evil spirits that indwelled me. People treated me like a crazy woman, throwing rocks at me and wishing me ill. I was an outcast until He came. I learned He had been searching for me. He has loved me from the foundation of the world. I could not understand. It still amazes me that someone who knows me, could love me anyway, with a love so powerful it became a healer of all my infirmities. Oh Thank you Lord Jesus for PEACE that passes understanding that will keep my heart until I see you again.

"The sun is up now", Mary the mother of Jesus is talking. "My spirit is lighter this morning. There is an excitement in me I have not felt in many days. Who will roll the stone away for us. Maybe some of the disciples will also be there."

We see the tomb. The stone has been moved away from the door. My eyes search for the linen cloth that has wrapped His body. We stand in silence, each of us allowing our eyes to gaze at the sight we see. We see a man in long white clothes setting on the stone, which had barred the door of His grave.

"Don't be afraid," he speaks. "I know why you are here. You are looking for Jesus of Nazareth and I want you to know He has risen. Look here - see the place where He lay - He is not here."

I hear him but what he says is not registering with me. The surprise of seeing him here in the place where we were looking for Jesus is unnerving. He seems to read my thoughts.

"Don't be afraid. But go your way, tell his disciples and Peter that he goeth before you into Galilee: there shall ye see him, as he said unto you."

We hurry from the empty tomb with our spices still in our basket. Mary the mother of Jesus ran ahead. Salome goes in another direction, while I Mary Magdalene, go to find Peter.

"Mary" someone calls my name.
"Yes," I respond.
"Do you know who I am"
"Yes, Lord. I would recognize you anywhere. There is something different about you though. There is a heavenly glow shrouding you. You are a wonderful sight to my eyes. I have missed you so."
"I am here for a little while. I want to see the disciples and encourage them. Will you go tell them you have seen me."

"Gladly Lord. I am willing to do anything you ask. I am your servant."

I really don't think things will ever be back to Normal again. When Jesus is present, excitement prevails. In His presence is peace. In His presence is Joy. In His presence fullness of joy and at His right had there are pleasures forever

The disciples are still mourning and grieving. Oh I can hardly wait to give them a message from Jesus. They probably won't believe me. However, I know what I saw, who I saw, and the message I carry is straight from Him.

"James, John, Peter, I need to talk with you." I stand outside the house waiting for permission to come in. The maid opens the door and inside are the disciples bent in prayer and weeping. They can't understand my jubilance. I'm sure it annoys them.

"Men, I have the most wonderful news.  I've just seen Jesus....."
