INTRO . . .

[2-minute read]

 

Grace and Peace to you, Beloved!

 

A word kept stirring within me before I began laying the initial groundwork for the September audio prayers: transitions. Many of us are somewhere along God’s transition process, that interlude—a transition corridor—where we move from one pairing element of Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 to another.

 

A corridor of time and shifting situations (physical, spiritual, emotional, and otherwise) reminding us that God alone is sovereign . . . and that everything under heaven is set in His appointed time and season.

 

Planting, plucking. Breaking down, building up. Weeping, laughing. Mourning, dancing. Casting away, gathering. Embracing, refraining. Seeking, losing. Tearing, sewing. Silence, speaking. Birth, death. War, peace.

 

But that corridor walk from one Ecclesiastes 3 experience to its antithetical partner (like tearing down a part of your life to build it up more righteously or breaking a long silence to speak a God-led truth) can get uncomfortable, test our faith, muddy our vision, and overwhelm our soul with waiting and uncertainties.

 

And yet . . . God. None of it is random. Our King is doing a deep, purposeful work, readying us—refining, pruning, removing the dross, even using the spiritual warfare to expertly mold our soul in His sanctification process. Designed not only to prepare us for what’s next on our earthly journey, but working in us what’s needed for our future glory journey.

 

Because we weren’t created solely for our time down here. We ultimately were created for eternity.

 

So be encouraged, Beloved, along life’s transition corridors.

Your King, the Lover of your soul, is Faithful and True.

For I am the Lord your God who takes hold of your right hand,

Who says to you, ‘Do not fear, I will help you.’

—Isaiah 41:13

LED TO PRAY A FEW MORE MINUTES?

MAY GOD ANOINT YOU TO INTERCEDE FOR THOSE ON OUR UPDATED, ONGOING LIST for . . .

SALVATION, DELIVERANCE FROM PERSECUTION & SPIRITUAL CAPTIVITY, and for PRODIGALS/LOST SHEEP

 
 

Acts 26:17b. This Acts verse is our continual prayer for deliverance: God’s commission to Paul . . . “Open their eyes that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in Me.”

 

We pray that because of Romans 1:16. “For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Gentile.”

 

#1. In this tenuous hour on the prophetic time clock, we stand in pray for B’nai Israel in the Land and throughout the world. Especially for those Jews caught up in New Age/Buddhism and those not knowing the truth of Yeshua, their Jewish Messiah.

 

Special mentions for salvation and deliverance:

√ The Lord’s mercies and continual healing (spiritually, emotionally, mentally, physically) for all the returned hostages and their families.

 

√ Bibi Netanyahu–God’s hand on his heart, strengthening him, leading him, imparting wisdom to him so he doesn’t fall sway to the global noise/pressure. Also for Bibi’s family and all Israeli leadership, plus every facet of the courageous Israeli military forces/IDF, Israeli Intelligence forces/Shin Bet/Mossad/Aman, and for unity in the nation.

 

√ May the Lord’s garment of protection be on Jerusalem and Israel, sending angelic forces to stand shoulder-to-shoulder, a holy barrier around Jerusalem, Israel, and Your people, Lord. Guard them from their many enemies, those on their borders, those within their borders, those nearby, those globally. Move in the hearts of her enemies to turn them to You, Lord, and the righteousness of your salvation, Yeshua.

 

√ Lord, may your redemption truth in Yeshua intervene in Yad L’Achim, the Haredi Jewish organization focusing on countering evangelical “missionary” work in Israel

 

Salvation for Jewish friends and rabbis:

√ the extended Katz family, Marc, Bill, Rabbi Mendy Deitsch/family, Neil S., A.Milman/family, R.Alexander, J. Parascher, Kamegai family, J. Wulfuff/family, Bobbi/Neil, Edie/Hal, Etta, Robert, Ellen B., Barbara/family, Jackie/family, Nancy E., Doug B., Dale G., Judith L., Ruth M., Ira P. and wife, Carolyn S., Korach family, Ellen R. family

√ The Chosen’s Jewish actors Shahar Isaac, Noah James, others. [We are eternally grateful for the Lord answering our longtime prayers for actor Elijah Alexander, who now is a messianic Jew, a believer in Yeshua!]

√ Rabbi Richman, the Temple Institute, Aish.com, Pardes Institute rabbis/teachers, Rabbi Mintz/family & her longtime Torah study group, Rabbi Fohrman, Rabbi Wyne, Rabbi Goodman, Rabbi Herlig/Chabad, Rabbi Hecht and family, Rabbi Goodman, Rabbi Cohen, Rabbi Goldbart, Tovia Singer

√ P. Saltzman/family, J. Goldfarb, Bodner family, Goodman family, A. & R. Holliday, L. Hoffman family, M. Blechman, D. Rockelmann family, Rabin family, Barbara (senior citizen) and her lesbian daughter (and daughter’s partner)

 

#2. Deliverance from Persecution

√ Believers throughout the world are under heavy, unspeakable persecution for their faith, even death. Yet they meet with “quiet courage, deep faith, whispered prayers, and memorized Scripture, willing to give everything for the sake of the gospel”, per OpenDoors.

√ North Korea tops the list, but also the DRC (1,100 Christians killed in the last 18 months), Nigeria (a Christian dies every two hours on average), Iran (a crime to be a Christian), Somalia, Yemen, Sudan, Eritrea, Syria, Pakistan, Libya, Iran, Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia, Vietnam, Philippines, China, India, Nepal, Algeria, Myanmar, Nicaragua, Cameroon, Venezuela, and on it goes.

√ For all those believers and their families who daily face being murdered, beaten, ostracized, raped (men, women, children), imprisoned, unable to make a living or have fellowship with other believers, enduring hostility, violence, constant surveillance, and driven from their homes and villages.

 

#3. US Government Officials & Families: Salvation

May our governmental leaders and citizens humble themselves before our LORD GOD. May any anti-Semitism be exposed and rooted out. And may their power-lust, bitterness, envy, jealousy, anger be replaced with unity and the love of God and righteous decisions for the good of the nation and its people—and may they support and bless Israel..

√ For God’s hand and leading on President Donald Trump, bringing him and his family to the TRUTH of the full gospel and the glorious redemptive gift in Yeshua, drawing them humbly closer to His Presence and holy ways, so they can serve Him with a newfound joy, a blessed assurance of what awaits them in eternity by receiving Jesus who said in John 14:6, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father except through Me.” May they fully know the gift of salvation is ALL because of what God has done, not us.

May Ephesians 2:8-10 come alive in Trump and his family and administration and all of us: For by grace you have been saved through faith; and this is not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them.

√ For God’s leading and continued anointing on believer Marco Rubio and his family, blessing him greatly for all his righteous work for/with Israel and the nations.

√ For God’s guiding hand on VP J.D. Vance, helping him have a deeper understanding of the Word so it rises in his soul and also speaks to his wife Usha Vance (for her salvation/she’s Hindu) and their children. May J.D. walk in meekness and truth before the Lord throughout his life-calling.

√ For all unsaved members of the Trump administration and the House/Senate and their families that they’ll seek God and His Word in their political decisions and in their daily lives, putting Him first.

 

#4. Prodigals

√ All those we know/love who once walked with our Messiah but have gone rogue, become compromised, blinded by the enemy’s sway

√ special mentions: Nina, Matt, Natasha/family, Anthony (homeless), Kevin, Rachel, Grant & Shannan, Chippendale-ish performer who is a believer/works at Fremont Experience, Emily S., Austin, Lisa, Heather, and all those in the film/music/entertainment industry who knew the LORD but compromised and fell under the enemy’s beguiling ways.

 

#5. Salvation for the spiritually lost, wayward/wobbly in the faith, and/or are demonically troubled or bound:

√ Michael F.

√ Jeremy F.

√ Leslie’s mother, stepfather, sister

√ Landon, Lisa, Alexander, Lindsay, Mary, Leah, Daniel, Oren

√ Hugo and his family

√ Steve/family and Rick/family

√ Trish’s family

√ Greg, Jeff, and their families

√ Christine

√ Unsaved dancers, buskers, performers, and Chippendale dancers working the Fremont Street Experience

√ Anthony & Lilly (following New Age)

√ Donny D.

√ Benjamin, Cliff, J., Gary

√ Bob K, Paul P., Michael, Tim C.

√ Erica & Richard, Susan R., Erica M.

√ Cynthia and her family

√ James J., Alexandria, Cole, Joe D., Mercedes, Bob, Michael, Alexander

√ All our family/friends/loved ones who are unwilling to disengage from prior demonic agreements, may they humble themselves, surrendering their souls and lives/lifestyles to our Messiah, JESUS

 

#6. Deliverance and salvation for those bound by the demonic, lying, hate-driven spirit related to gender confusion/gender bending and homosexuality:

√ Bob & Don (male partners)

√ J. & his male partner

√ Joey (dresses as a woman), “Joan” (biological male), and “Hannah” (biological male)

√ Emily, Barb, Annie, Abbie—all need freedom from lesbian hold

From its fledgling beginnings back in early 2019 distributing prayer requests to a handful of family/friends via texts, this watchmen group of fellow believers in Yeshua (Jesus) unite in prayer before the throne of our Messiah to stand in the gap for others.>

Prayer tops the list of key words God gave me for 2025. With a clear focus on Zion/Israel. More on that coming up soon, which will be posted under my Flashes of Lightning menu category . . .

 

But right now, the love task before our King is a return to reverence . . . of Him, for Him. It begins with a bowed soul posture, repentance, daily surrender, and a trembling of His Word (Isaiah 66:2). That helps our spiritual ears and eyes stay sensitive to His still, quiet-like voice and heavenly leading.

 

Call to Him from the secret place of your soul, inviting Him into the untouched, fallow ground, hidden crevices. Cry out to be cleansed and stripped of self-focus. Pant after Him, honoring His Name and glory. Seek His face with a humbled heart, willing to battle in prayer in new ways for the critical hour of human history we are in.

 

Because Yah [the LORD, the GREAT I AM] is my strength and song, and He has become my salvation.—Exodus 15:2.

 

May our intercession throughout this year be prayed with His WORD, courageously honest, bathed in faith and in His power and truth so captives (spiritually/physically) can be set free.

 

Serve the LORD, rejoicing in hope,

persevering in tribulation,

devoted to prayer. —Romans 12:11c-12

 

Be strong and let your heart take courage,

all you who wait for the LORD. —Psalm 31:24

1 PRAYER ALERT: California Fires

15 PRAYER REQUESTS with an UPDATED SALVATION LIST

 

PRAYER ALERT: California Fires!

Prayer Warriors: Please pray for a fellow prayer team member’s family and all those involved! Benny’s brother and sister are being evacuated due to the fires in the Pacific Palisades and Altadena. As of this writing, the now three major wildfires—the Palisades Fire, the Eaton Fire and the Hurst Fire—are raging with 0% contained.

PRAYER. Abba, the life-threatening winds are frightening and compounding things. Please stretch out your Glory hand of protection and shelter them and every one of the 30,000+ and growing who are being forced to leave their homes. Guard their lungs and bodies, the young, the old, and the infirmed. Keep people calm and compliant so medical and fire teams can get through traffic and other highways quickly, efficiently, and safely. May your mighty hand also rest on every first responder and all medical and fire teams. Please deliver wisdom and understanding to every leader so there are safe passages, and help leaders know how to handle the aftermath. And please shelter the animals, Father, your creation. In Jesus’s mighty Name.
 
 

15 PRAYER REQUESTS

#1. ISRAEL & JERUSALEM

Isaiah 54:15

Any alliance that forms against you will not be My doing; whoever tries to form such an alliance will fail because of you.

Answering God’s call to His Body of Believers to pray for B’nai Israel (Children of Israel) worldwide, for Jerusalem’s protection/shalom, and for Israel as her enemies on the world stage rage against her.

PRAYER. God’s unfailing protection. His unbreakable promises. His mercies and power. Mighty King of Israel, we bow before your greatness, humbled by your majesty, your glory, your radiant robes that fill the throne room. Holy One of Israel, please stretch out your glory tallit over your people and nation Israel, over your city, Jerusalem, the apple of your eye, over every hostage, family members, Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu (for the heavy task you’ve appointed and anointed him for), governmental and military leaders and military personnel on all levels.

Gather them in your arms, speak words of comfort, deliverance, encouragement, healing to their souls, their minds, their bodies, their emotions. Help them STAND as one with You against the hatred, lies, and evil strategies attempting to destroy them.

Bless them with eyes to see You going before them, unfailing, invincible, unwavering. Faithfully true. A pillar of strength and holiness. A glorious, Holy Fire of righteousness and justice.

Lift them up, speak gently to their souls, wooing them to your WORD, to Yeshua, who has covered them with the highest gift of love . . . Himself.

Tear down her enemies, shut the mouth of the snake. May the world see that you are the King of kings, the God above all, the Redeemer of Israel, and may they fall to their knees, trembling before you. In the name of the Messiah of Israel, Yeshua.

 

#2. JOANNE JOLEE

1 Chronicles 4:10a

Now Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, “Oh that You would greatly bless me and extend my border, and that Your hand might be with me . . .”

The YouTube ministry podcast Morning Tea with Joanne Jolee is by one of our fellow prayer warriors who is an author, musical artist, and passionate encourager. Let’s cover her work with prayer for God’s continued favor and growth.

PRAYER. God’s Fresh Anointing. God’s Guidance. Spiritual Discernment. Glorious King, please look down and let your face and smile cover your daughter Joanne’s faithfulness and passion for your words. Her heart burns to inspire and lift up others. May your Holy Spirit release rich guidance and understanding so her ministry edifies the Body, encouraging them in how to stay close to the Word and Your holy ways. May your passion flow through her for Your purposes, the work you’ve appointed her to do before the world began. Walk with her, ensuring her leadership, fueling her soul, keeping her heart aflame, broadening her borders, and blessing her with mercy for the Body, heavenly insight, and the strength and tenacity to continue following You with her podcast, business, and music. In Yeshua’s radiant name.

#3. MARY T.

Isaiah 43:16

This is what the Lord says, He who makes a way through the sea and a path through the mighty waters.

Mary heeded the call for a nursing career and has done well in her studies so far—even with four children and a hubby whose work takes him away two days a week. But now she must be at a facility for the 16-month core nursing program phase. We need God to make a way for her to complete the calling so kiddos are protected, babysat, properly housed, and where family and nursing demands flow well.

PRAYER. God’s Provision. Bountiful Resources. Cleared Path. Behold The Great I AM! All things are in His hands . . . the God of Israel who parted the sea, made a way in the wilderness, brought forth manna from Heaven and water out of a rock. Blessed is your Name! Adonai, please reveal your love and power in this situation. You alone know the details, latest housing challenges, and all the rest. Move in your might so Mary and her family are overwhelmed by your wonder and your caring for their needs. Reveal yourself in new ways that bolster their faith. And may what you’ve appointed her to do will be completed by Your Hand, Your Purpose, Your Glory. In Yeshua’s Name.

 

#4. L.Q.

Psalm 61:4-5

Let me dwell in Your tent forever; Let me take refuge in the shelter of Your wings. For You have heard my vows, God;You have given me the inheritance of those who fear Your name.

Major shifting for L.Q. who is a longtime believer—but life is not easy as a single mom and gets compounded by health issues. She needs God to step into her life in huge ways . . . for housing, work, ministry leading, children concerns, and more.

PRAYER. God’s Direction. His Intervention. His Calming Hand. Gracious Father, may your Name be an anointing oil poured out over L.Q. And may your waterfall of glory flow through her life uninterrupted, cleansing the murky waters and binding the enemy’s disruptions. Please usher in clear thinking aligned with you, healing on all levels, and release a steady stream of tranquility on her and her family no matter what is going on around her. Be glorified, Lord. In Yeshua’s Mighty Name.

 

#5. ERICA, MARLON, LAURA

Psalm 70:5

I am afflicted and needy; Hurry to me, God! You are my help and my savior; Lord, do not delay.

Three vital needs submitted by one of our fellow prayer warriors:

Her dear friend Erica has visited church before but isn’t saved. May God woo her heart.

Another friend of hers—Laura—needs our prayer support big time: Laura’s mother (not saved) is battling stage 4 cancer. Meanwhile, Laura’s son Marlon (25 years old and saved) is tempted to return to marijuana for his PTSD. He previously had completed a drug-deliverance course. These days, he stays at home, no desire to get out of bed many days. Laura’s heart is broken.

Compounding that, Laura’s husband Luigi wants a divorce. Allegedly, he feigned salvation so she’d marry him. His deception along with her son and mother’s issues are overwhelming.

PRAYER. God’s Shalom. His Justice. His Healing on all levels. Almighty God, Prince of Peace, Righteous Judge, step into Laura’s life, home, and those she loves. Stir hearts toward you. Expose lies so they may lead to repentance.

For Laura’s mom and Erica, we ask that you open their eyes and soul to the truth of Yeshua and their need for salvation. May His name be on their lips and come alive in their hearts casting out all holds the enemy placed there. And may your mercies, healing, and grace fall on her mother’s health.

For Marlon, we ask that you strengthen his soul. Remind him of your goodness, your power, your character, and the eternity up ahead. Bind the enemy’s influence, set this captive free in the Name of Yeshua, the Name Above ALL Names.

For Laura, we ask for you to wrap your arms around your daughter, letting her weep on your chest, knowing that you are aware and holding every tear in your faithful, loving hands. Abba, speak healing and restoration to her soul and life that eclipses the betrayal Luigi caused. And may you pierce his heart with the love and truth of the Gospel, bringing him to repentance before your throne. We ask for calm and rightness in this family by the name of our Messiah, Yeshua.

 

#6. EVELYN (EV) L.

Psalm 28:7

The Lord is my strength and my shield; My heart trusts in Him, and I am helped; Therefore my heart triumphs, and with my song I shall thank Him.

Her heart meds are working well and her medical issue is being handled. She’s seeking God’s continued favor and protection.

PRAYER. God’s Continued Favor. His Protection. His Resting Spirit. Adonai, our Shepherd, our King, guard Evelyn wherever she goes—lying down, rising, working, traveling. Help her along her journey with you to follow as you lead. Pick her up and breathe continual healing through her body and revival to her soul. May you fill any aches in her soul with your precious Name . . . with your sweetness and gentleness . . . and with your life-giving Word. May she and Ben be blessed by your hand and find favor in your sight. Let your love in and through them be their guide in all things. In Yeshua’s glorious Name.
 

#7. KARI

Psalm 138:3

On the day I called, You answered me;You made me bold with strength in my soul.

Sometime in January, Kari will be meeting with doctors to determine how she’ll treat her returning cancer (female anatomy).

PRAYER. God’s Mercy. God’s Healing. God’s Discernment. Holy Father, Wonderful Counselor, rain down your mercies on Kari and her family. Make your way clear, undeniable, filled with your grace and heavenly strength. Rise up within her . . . lead her, gird her, flood her with your Presence and love that are like no other. A Presence and love that are unshakeable. And give her the scripture that confirms your leading, and please confirm it many ways so she has full confidence in her spiritual hearing. We look to you and no other. In Yeshua’s Name that is filled with the true Peace that is not of this world.
 

#8. ANDREA

Proverbs 18:10

The name of the Lord is a fortified tower; the righteous run to it and are safe.

Andrea is seeking God’s direction on how to better handle her daily life while on treatment for stage 4 breast cancer so she can be blessed with an enhanced quality of life.

PRAYER. God’s Encouragement. His Healing. His Wisdom. As I was initially preparing this, I saw God’s hand cupped with Andrea standing in it. Abba, she is in your hands, secured by your love, guarded, strengthened. Please reveal the next steps so she can have a reprieve but keep the cancer shrunk/inactive as it is. But with a word from you, even that will be gone. All things are in your hand. May your Words of Life revive her, restore her, bless her in unexpected ways. Our hearts are heavy. You are all we have, Lord. What can we pray but your holy name, Yeshua? May it be the very breath within her at all times. In Yeshua’s fragrant Name.

 

#9. CHARLENE H.

Psalm 7:10

Be for me a sheltering rock where I can always come. You have determined to save me, because you are my bedrock and stronghold. (CJB)

One of our prayer partners submitted Charlene’s name. Charlene recently learned she has breast cancer and will undergo chemo and then surgery in the summer.

PRAYER. God’s Presence. God’s Hope. God’s Healing Breath. Adonai, please reveal to Charlene that you are her strong tower, her Rock of salvation, the healer of her soul and body . . . may the power of the cross arise within her, calm and strengthen her, and may your will be done for your glory and Charlene’s good that she may walk with you all the days of her life. Let them be many. May your mercy and grace revive her. In Jesus’s brilliant Name.

 

#10. VEE

Psalm 107:6

Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble and He delivered them out of their distresses.

We’ve prayed for Vee in the past . . . she’s in her senior years, a wonderful mother/grandmother, and dealing daily with her returned cancer, which has spread. It’s physically and emotionally draining. She needs God’s covering and our prayer support.

PRAYER. God’s Comfort. His Spirit. His Strength. Lord God, You whose name is mercy, please give Vee a special touch from your hand. Words of life that lift her soul. Heavenly Hope that carries her through each moment . . . and sweet reminders of the promise of what lies ahead for those in Christ Jesus. Bless her with your Presence, strength, and healing touch. We know she is precious in your sight. In Jesus’s glorious Name.

 

#11. I.B.

Psalm 71:1-2

In you, Adonai, I have taken refuge; let me never be put to shame. In your righteousness, rescue me;
and help me to escape. Turn your ear toward me,
and deliver me. (CJB)

I.B. has bladder cancer and is to begin a unique treatment this month. Uncertainty and nervousness are at high levels, quite understandably. She needs God’s strength and mercy throughout this lengthy treatment—able to tolerate the process without incident—and she needs salvation under the cross of Yeshua.

PRAYER. God’s Healing intervention. His Salvation. His Chesed. Abba, only you truly direct our paths. Please reach out to I.B. so she can find rest in your Name, find comfort in your faithfulness, and witness your divine intervention for your glory. And please help her hubby to tend to every need, giving the sweet support she’ll need. And may she come to know the loving, mighty hand of your salvation gift in Yeshua. In the Name of Israel’s Messiah, Yeshua.
 

#12.JOSIE

Psalm 70:2

May those who seek my life be put to shame . . . and be turned back and dishonored.

We prayed for her/two daughters to get new housing. Answered prayer! But now they’re under spiritual enemy attack and need us to battle in prayer for their divine coverage.

PRAYER. God’s hand. His power. His Word. Lord, help us to stand with Josie in faith, the strongest spiritual weapon we have to demolish strongholds (2 Corinthians 10:4-5). We believe in the power of the cross, its conquering Spirit to overcome he who is in the world. Abba, please bind the mouth of those threatening her, those using witchcraft to come against her and her family. May the brilliance of Your robes fall upon Josie and the girls, protecting them, hemming them in, an impenetrable fortress. In Jesus’s sweet, powerful Name that is above ALL others.

 

#13. MICHAEL

Psalm 61:2

From the end of the earth I call to You when my heart is faint; Lead me to the rock that is higher than I

We’re standing firm in continued prayer for Michael who has had some relief and doing better (Praise God and His goodness!) from the long-term troubling health conditions and their effects on his spiritual, emotional, mental life.

PRAYER. The Light of the World. God’s Light of life. His lamp on our path. Adonai, call out to the depths of Michael’s soul with soothing words, healing words, words of deliverance and strength. Cast out any darkness and flood his soul with your holy, pure light. Raise him to new levels of understanding in your Word that comfort him, and please release a sweet fragrance from heaven to confirm your Presence, your hand on him, and encourage him each day as you walk with Him. In Yeshua’s beautiful name.

 

#14. MAUREEN

Psalm 30:2

Lord my God, I cried to You for help, and You healed me.

Maureen was sick on/off during the holidays and now has RSV. She now is developing a symptom that may cause her to be hospitalized. We need God’s grace and intervention.

PRAYER. The Hem of His Garment. The Gentle Brush of His Spirit. His Provisions and Healing. Lord, if you say the word, your daughter will be healed in your way. We pray for your mercies to cover her, your chesed (lovingkindness, love between you and her) to carry her, your hand to lift her closer to you, and for your voice to ripple gently through her, encouraging and healing. Please, Abba, ease her breathing, weaken and shorten the the life of this virus. And please provide everything she needs along the way—and send angelic protection and help throughout the day and night. And in your mercy, please keep her from being hospitalized. In Yeshua’s redemptive, healing Name.

 

#15. SALVATION & PRODIGAL LIST!

Psalm 40:16

May all who seek You rejoice and be glad in You; may those who love your salvation continually say, “The LORD be exalted!”

PRAYER. His Deliverance. His Redemptive Gift. The Son of God. Redeemer King, as we name these people listed below, please run after them, become their hiding place, deliver them from the dark spiritual waters keeping them captive. Please remove the stubbornness, pride, and the lies from satan so they can sense your love and see and understand their need for your redemption plan and receive Jesus, our Messiah, and be saved. It’s in His Mighty, Loving Name we pray.
