From: "RON" Ephesians 6:10-13 (KJV) Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. We have waged a war on earth, against flesh and blood, but now we need to wage war against the spiritual realm! Deuteronomy 1:30 (NIV) "The Lord your God, who is going before you, will fight for you. . ." Deuteronomy 7:23 (NIV) But the Lord your God will deliver them over to you, throwing them into great confusion until they are destroyed. Christians, after you read this, I pray that the Holy Spirit within you will be quickened, so we will be sensitive to pray, in our comings and goings, in the early hours, in our quiet time to make ready to fight the powers of darkness. Assemble yourselves and pass this "call to pray and intercede". As you pass on this message, we will become one great spiritual army, praying in one accord, and "God will deliver them over to you, throwing them into confusion until they are destroyed.." We will know when the command has been given to all the nations and people to "pray and intercede". So pray, assemble yourselves, put on the armor of God. God be with you. From: "RICHARD" Please pray for me, a sinner. I am very distraught over the events in my life that I can not seem to come to grips with. They include a loss of my children's affection via the poisoning of their minds by their mother, insecurity in the stability of my job, a recent bankruptcy due to streamlining in my company, trying to go to school to gain my degree in education that I have been working on for twenty years, and many other issues that I am having a hard time grappling with as a 43 year old man. I have diligently been trying to find another job and for the first time in my life am being told that I am over qualified. Due to the lack of college degree, I am still fighting obstacles. Faith and hope is all that is sustaining me. My faith has been wavering lately and I have toyed with thoughts of self-destructive behavior. I know that I am much stronger but I feel that I need support. Please pray for my strength, that my ex-wife will not succeed in her attempts, that my wife will remain at my side, that I will find my way and that God will have a much better plan in store for me. I want so hard to believe! As I face an awesome test tonight, I pray that God will give me the discernment to do well and succeed. Dear God, forgive me, a sinner of my many sins and I devote my life to you. Amen. Richard From: "GLORY & SEBASTIAN" We have written before about the many problems in our workspot. Please pray for one couple in our office, Radha and Mohan who spread misinformation. Also for a staff member Rakhi and our boss Puneet. We want to see a great miracle in our office. Your brother and sister in Christ, Glory and Sebastian From: "DERYA" My infant son is seeing a PT at the moment and I am at work. He is with his dad, grandma and granddad. Please pray for us so that we can hear something good from them. From: "S.G." Please pray that when I meet Jimmy and his family and friends they will think I am beautiful, inside and out always. I have a weight problem and Jimmy's ex-wife is beautiful and thin. I need the peace of mind of knowing that nobody thinks I am less beautiful inside and out than anybody else. I pray and ask for this in good, happy, healthy ways, always. Thank you and God bless. S.G. From: "NATALIE" Hi my name is Natalie and I'm happily married and only 25. I have just been diagnosed with a cancerous tumor in my stomach. It is low grade cancer but surgery will still be somewhat risky because it't near my lungs and on my diaphram. I also may have breast cancer. They won't know for sure until they do a needle biposy. So please pray for me and my family! Pass this request on to other churches or other people you know. I know how powerful prayer is, so please all of you pray! Thank you! God bless! From: "DONALD" Please pray for my ex-wife Arlet who is under demonic oppression. Pray for the Holy Spirit to come and open her eyes to the lies of the devil. I ask for the Lord Jesus Christ to deliver her, set her free, convict her heart, let her turn to Jesus for forgiveness. Only the love of Jesus is greater than the love I have for her. Even if she will never come back to me, set her free Lord, Amen. From: "JET & MLT" We would so greatly appreciate all the prayers out there for our son and his ex-wife and that God will soften her heart and spirit that she might let us see our precious grandchildren, for they were not a part of this bad sitution but are having to suffer from it. We want to be carrying them to church and raise them in the ways of the LORD, for they are so young, ages 2 & 4. Thank you and may "GOD" bless you too. JET & MLT From: "ECJB" A prayer request from Cathy M. Her husband, Tony, is an Air Force Commander in Afghanistan. She received an urgent email from him this morning. It said, "We need Christians to pray, pray, pray." Please pray for God's protection of our troops and HIS wisdom for their commanders. Pass this on to as many as you think will respond. Considering the increase in terrorist activity in Iraq, this prayer is more urgent than ever. PLEASE . . . . pray always for our military men and women "Lord, hold our troops in your loving hands. Protect them as they protect us. Bless them and their families for the selfless acts they perform for us in our time of need. I ask this in the name of thy Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen" (Passed on at request of Sharon F.) From: "LYNN" Please pray for Konrad, for God to redirect him back to better communication with me, that his heart will understand and be softened by the distance we have had between us, for God to help him to keep his focus and remove the stumbling blocks. Thanks, Lynn From: "S.G." Please pray that I have financial security always. I need money so badly and I need a nice home of my own very, very soon. I have nowhere to go. I am so depressed and afraid. Thank you and God Bless. S.G. From: "NOT TELLING" Dears Christians: I have been through a hell right here on earth for about a year and half now. I have been pushed as far as I can go and still say I even know the Lord. I wonder day and night if he even knows I exist and still no help comes. My wife has become a drunk after leaving the church life and my kids have no answers to what is going on in their life that was once so wonderful and loving. I can't go on any longer and still hold on to peace of mind and pretend I have peace within because I don't have nothing but a burning desire to just end it all with my enemies that are tearing my marriage apart and destroying my life. It's so sad to say that it is her family that wants nothing but foolishness for her and they never think of the hurt it causes these blessed little kids of mine. Truly if there is a God any more is he King of Kings or has satan got full control of the whole situation and can any one take it away from him? I need a financial miracle and a miracle that shows me GOD is still the King because satan has me almost believing he is unstoppable. And he laughs and tells me God is just letting this go on because he doesn't care no more. I wish HE would show me he's still the boss and stop this work of satan now! It's going to be too late in a little while. I can't stand it no more. From: "SKYLENA" My father has Cancer and I'm unsure of if he has made his peace with God. If you could pray for his salvation, healing and strength for his family I would really appreciate it. Skylena From: "CINDY" Dear Prayer Warriors, I have a son, James who is addicted to crack cocaine. He is 25 years old. He has been addicted for 7 years. I pray for him constantly. Please pray that he will be delivered from this demonic bondage. I need help! Thank you for this wonderful work of God. Thank you. Thank you. I pray that his life will be lived for the furtherance of the kingdom of God. Cindy From: "ANONYMOUS" My older sister Jacque has been diagnosed with Melanoma Cancer in her lungs. Five nodules showed up in various parts of both lungs. She is a young, vibrant 58 with brand new grand babies that she would love to see grow up. Melanoma, once in the body, is a very vicious cancer that does not respond like other cancers. Any cancer in the lungs is bad enough as is, but after Melanoma goes to the lungs, it likes to go to the brain next. Christmas, my family and I (including my retired Pastor father) all joined hands and prayed for Jacque At my older brother's suggestion, we committed to a fast for her January 10-11. Some of us are beginning after lunch, Saturday the 10th and going until dinner Sunday the 11th, a one day fast. Some of us will fast the entire two days. Many of the extended family (neices and nephews, sisten-in law, her mother and even their spouses will be joining in). We have all committed to seeking the Lord and praying for Jacque during this time. As many of you know, when you fast and seek God, he may have a list of things he's been wanting to discuss with you. :-) So we are committed to be open to that as well, but additionally to concentrate on praying for Jacque's healing, whether it be a miracle through faith or through studies being done at this time. We are also praying for wisdom for her and the doctors as to which studies she should participate in. She just sent her information off to a cancer center Texas this week, known to be the top cancer center in America. Their next step is to evaluate her case to decide which doctor she should see there before she comes in. This step is crucial She also likes a doctor in Tucson AZ, which is an hour or so drive from her home in Phoenix. So you see, there are crucial decisions to be made, as she has been labeled a 'level 4' already. I believe that this time of prayer and fasting will bring a revival to my family, extended family and friends who participate in this powerful united stand. I would love for those who would to keep Jacque in their prayers, especially January 10-11 and invite those who feel led to join in, to do so as well. From: "S.G." Please I pray for a beautiful house. I have to leave the house I am in now and I have nowhere to go and many times we have to go without heat and hot water. Please pray that the spots on my tongue are nothing and they go away now and stay away. Please pray that God forgives me of all my sins and I thank God for all my good blessings. Please pray that I lose all the weight I want to lose and keep it off except when I am pregnant. Please pray that I am happy and at peace and feel good about how I feel and think and how others feel and think about my appearance and everything about me and about others and about everything now and always. Please pray that I have big beautiful homes, a good husband and happy, healthy, normal children of my own very soon and I provide for them very well and we have financial security and please pray that we have happy, healthy, fulfilled lives now and always in all good ways and for others too. Please pray that my brother Darin and all my family live close and stay close. Please I pray that the thing on Sam's neck is nothing and she is healthy and lives a long good life. Please pray that God knows all my prayers about everything, everyone and myself and grants them all now and forever in ways I am happy, feel good about and have peace. Thank you and God Bless From: "J.S.." I need my faith restored. I have had so many negative things happen that it is drowning me in disappointment and near hopelessness. Just in the past 6 months: My spouse was injured at work, hospitalized and had to quit job. (over half our income). The company is fighting Workman's Compensation for who knows what reason so we have had nothing from them and had to get an attorney. Our insurance refuses to pay medical claims because it is a Workman's Comp issue. This forced us to not seek treatment and now the condition is worsening. We are now in pre-foreclosure on the house and no bills are being paid other than basic utilities. Had to place children in public school which I was hoping I would never had to do and forget their private lessons. Our entire family was ill nearly the whole month of November. In December, my vehicle broke down in the school carpool line which made a few parents angry. I went into the school and my 2 year old threw up in the school. The part needed for the vehicle is on national back order so I have a broken down vehicle still and it's not even paid for. We didn't get to keep our holiday plans. I could go on but its getting long. In and of themselves they are not so bad other than the fear of losing my house in the winter. The problem is that all of this is happening at once and 'Ive pleaded and begged God to stop allowing anymore things to happen until I can catch my breath and see straight enough to think and act clearly. He just seems to be saying "NO." What I KNOW about God would comfort me but what I FEEL about God right now seems to have a stronger pull on my heart. Like, I know He loves me but I FEEL like He just doesn't like me anymore and won't bring me any peace. I'm not sure why Im writing this other than I'm desperate and pitiful. I typed in "I need faith right now" and your site came up. So will you pray for me to have faith even though every part of my life is falling apart very quickly. That's all I know to ask. J.S. From: "DEBBI" Please pray for Vince that the Lord would guide his doctors to find a way to put his fatal blood disorder into remission. Thank you. From: "SEBASTIAN" Today my boss has given us some sweets because he has received a male child. I praise Jesus for his kindness and change in the heart of my boss. There are some workers and other computer operators working with us: Hrushi, Prashant, Sandeep, Atul, Raju, Ranjay, and Chandhan. They speak with us nicely but when the time comes they speak against us to our boss, especially Hrushi. There are many of the marketing field force who try to discredit my work just because I do not help them in billing their orders without clearing the outstanding ones. I want the Lord to provide me with the wisdom and knowledge required to handle these kind of people, especially S.K.S and his boss krishnanan. Please pray for the Lord to aniont me and my wife with special grace so that we may stand against the hypocrisy of these workers. Your brother in Christ, Sebastian & Glory From: "PAT" Please, please pray for Pat, JoJo and family. Our beloved Lena has passed away over Christmas. Our father also died December 6th some time ago and we are heartbroken, lost and devastated. Please always pray for us, that will only help us. From: "GLORY" Please pray for a couple, Radha and Mohan, both are always creating problems and spreading wrong information about our church and some people are disturbed. There are problems at our workspot, due to the staff and my boss, Puneet. My boss's treatment is very bad toward me and my husband. I want the Lord to fight for us. We have had patience for the past three years but now I ask the Lord of Lords to take vengeance for us. We have cried and moaned a lot in this office, even after working sincerely we have received this ill treatment. My boss has purchased new computers for the office. He did not give us a pay raise but has used all the profit on Coffee Box and four new PCs which are not presently needed, but to hide his profit he has done this. Now it is too late; the Lord should arise and fight for his people now. I want to see the Lord fight for us. From today on unless I see the miracle I will be sending this mail every day. I want a Great Miracle to be seen in my office. There are some people in the office who pretend to work a lot, but they also are our tale bearers. Please pray about this matter. Love, Sebastian & Glory, your brother and sister in Christ Editor's Note: This request has been edited for clarity and content. From: "JAN" Dear CHAIN friends, Please continue to pray for my son, Sean. He is 15 yrs. old and has been suffering from depression and has had recent thoughts of killing himself. He is a Christian and knows the Lord still performs miracles... Pray for a miracle!!! In His Grip, Jan
