GOT 4 MINUTES?

Pray on your own as led for the FOUR shortlisted requests below. A scripture-based prayer prompt is given.
 
 

#1. MICHAEL F.

Request Brief His longtime battle with Crohn’s disease continues to take its toll. He’s seeing the doctor on Friday about a new development. He (and his mom Diana) are seeking God’s healing intervention, praying it is something minor that can easily be handled.

Prayer prompt: Mighty, Mighty Healer, please step into that patient room and stand with Michael. Wrap your garment of healing around his body and release your presence. Because in your presence, we are made whole, we are made well. Speak wisdom to the physician and medical team, causing them to hear you and do your will versus leaning to their own understanding. We pray in faith as Psalm 147:3 says,”He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.” In Yeshua’s glorious Name.

 

#2. DIANA

Request Brief:The heartache of her son’s (Michael F., our first S.O.S. alert) health issues is heavy enough on a mom’s heart, but she needs full recovery from a painfully annoying oral surgery; she’s been on antibiotics on/off for months.

Prayer prompt: Glorious Father, you love your creation. You nurture us. You understand the heart of a mother aching for her son. Please take your daughter Diana’s hand and walk beside her, strengthening her, your healing from the cross radiating from your hand and flowing into her body for complete recovery. Encourage her, my King, reminding Diana of your promise in 2 Kings 20:5 . . . “I have heard your prayer and seen your tears. I will heal you.” In Yeshua’s precious name.

 

#3. LESLIE

Request Brief: God has been steering her teaching career in a new direction. Her application to a Christian school may be the long-awaited answered prayer.

Prayer prompt: El Shaddai, wondrous in all your ways, we bow down to your NAME, to your goodness and love that is flowing from your throne and covering your daughter Leslie. Part the water, Lord, make a way where it seems impossible. May your joy rise within her, and may your provisions and job opportunities abundantly surround her. For it’s written in Psalm 5:12 that you, O Lord, will bless the righteous and with favor you will surround them as a shield. Father, may all that you have appointed her for, anointed her for, be done to glorify You. In the name above all names, Yeshua.

 

#4. KIM

Request Brief: Committed to family, Kim’s life is overflowing with needs—caring for elderly parents, her own family concerns, her church duties, and all the rest. She needs God’s strength and His hand to calm the waters.

Prayer prompt: Gracious Father, may your compassion surround Kim throughout each day. We pray Isaiah 33:2‘s pleadings for Kim . . . may you be her “salvation in time of distress” and may you be her “strength every morning” and, at night, may your restorative sleep cover her. Bring calm and your shalom to her household. Bless her as she blesses her family. May your ways be honored and the foundation for all that they do—their going in and their going out. In Yeshua’s mighty name.

 
 

HEY, GOT A FEW MORE MINUTES TO PRAY?

SALVATION, DELIVERANCE & PRODIGAL LIST

 
 

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. B’nai Israel throughout the world and those Jews caught up in New Age/Buddhism and those not knowing or unwilling to know the truth of Yeshua. Special mentions for salvation and deliverance:

all hostages (released and those still captive) and their families, Bibi Netanyahu/family and all Israeli leadership, every facet of the Israeli military forces/IDF, Israeli Intelligence forces/Shin Bet/Mossad/Aman, and for unity in the nation—and for their enemies to turn to the Lord and be saved

Yad L’Achim, a Haredi Jewish organization focusing on countering evangelical “missionary” work in Israel

 

Jewish friends and/or rabbis:

the extended Katz family, Marc, Bill, Rabbi Mendy Deitsch/family, Bobbi/Neil, Edie/Hal, Ellen B., Nancy E., Doug B., Dale G., Judith L., Ruth M., Ira P. and wife, Carolyn S., and the family of Ellen R.

The Chosen’s Jewish actors Shahar Isaac, Noah James, Elijah Alexander.

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

 

#2. Deliverance from Persecution

The demonic realm is at work, stirring hatred, swaying hearts and souls. Even infiltrating churches disguising themselves—wolves in sheep’s clothing—to perform spiritual attacks up close and personal against believers, thwarting their faith, health, marriages, families, jobs, more. May we STAND shoulder-to-shoulder in unity with the Word, holding fast to God’s promises and His holy, faithful character. Psalm 121:7-8—The LORD shall preserve you from all evil. He shall preserve your soul. In Yeshua’s Mighty, Mighty, Redeeming Name.

Believers in Vietnam who are under heavy persecution for their faith–some are beaten, ostracized, enduring hostility, violence, 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 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.

President Donald Trump/family, VP J.D. Vance and wife Usha Vance (she’s Hindu), and all unsaved members of the new administration and the House/Senate and their families.

 

#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: 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 and/or demonically troubled or bound:

Michael

Mary’s cousin in Vietnam who is possibly a Buddhist (other family members in the area are Muslim)

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

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 still unwilling to disengage from prior demonic agreements, humble themselves, surrender their souls and lives/lifestyles to our LORD JESUS

Bob & Don (male partners)

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

It’s time. Let the battle commence: intercessory prayer for those hurting, confused, lost, seeking, or caught in the enemy’s traps. We seek God’s face, His will, His direction for His namesake and glory.

 
 

I waited expectantly, patiently for the Lord until He reached down to me and heard my cry. —Psalm 40:1

 

March (Part 2) 2024

 

We pray for you all—prayer warriors and those on this list . . . asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding so as to walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to Him, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God, being strengthened with all power, according to his glorious might for all endurance and patience with joy, giving thanks to the Father. —Colossians 1:9b-12a

 

TWO PRAISE REPORTS & SIX PRAYER REQUESTS

 

NEW PRAISE REPORT!

GARY (PASTOR MIKE GOLAY’S FATHER)

Psalm 107:1

Oh give thanks to the LORD, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever!

UPDATE! We prayed (March 2024’s list) for the father of Behold Israel’s Pastor Mike. On Monday, our BI prayer team got word that Gary who was quite ill and in the hospital is doing much better. Glory to our King for His mercies, compassion, and kindness!

 

NEW PRAISE REPORT!

HENRY

Psalm 95:2

Let us come into his presence with thanksgiving;
let us make a joyful noise to him with songs of praise!

We prayed for Henry (a February 2024 list). He’s been in dire straits—doing drugs, his pregnant girlfriend possibly returning to jail. But . . . he’s doing better (just got a job!) and sent his sister ultrasound pictures of the baby. Please keep them in your prayers: salvation, stable finances, God’s mercy, protection for the baby.

 

#1. J.B.

Psalm 91:14-16

“Because he loves me,” says the LORD, “I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name. He will call on me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him. With long life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation.”

S.O.S. This amazing woman with years following the Lord and writing books to encourage others in Jesus is in a crisis of faith—depression rising. She needs believers to call out to our King, praying that He’ll stop the enemy’s grip on her and that the Holy Spirit will cover her with all Truth to revive, strengthen, and restore her.

 

#2. J’s Jewish Husband

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 Greek.

For years J’s hubby said he’d never believe in Jesus but now started attending a couple’s Bible study with his wife. GLORY! He’s loving it and building relationships. Please lift him up that our Lord’s love and truth will rise up in his soul so he can have the joy and privilege of knowing his Jewish Messiah. Lord, please remove the veil from his heart, soul, eyes!

 

#3. ANONYMOUS

3 John 1:2

Beloved, I pray that all may go well with you and that you may be in good health, as it goes well with your soul.

This sweet man needs God’s continued healing after having stents put in (successfully) but now is dealing with unrelated back pain. May God’s grace flow from His throne, releasing healing spiritually and physically. Let Your Name, Lord Jesus, arise to bring comfort and joy in you for your glory and this dear person’s good.

 

#4. MATTHEW

Proverbs 4:20-22

Turn your ear to my words. Do not let them out of your sight, keep them within your heart; for they are life to those who find them and health to one’s whole body.”

Matthew: It’s been a rough journey for my 40-year-old bipolar nephew. Lord, please reach down and bring Matthew healing on every level, calm, protection, and full restoration and deliverance of mind, body, soul. Ignite in him a lasting passion for you, reminding him of when he received you as his Savior when he was eight. Surround him, Abba, with your Word, Truth, Life, Way, to the glory of our Messiah.

 

#5. JOSHUA

Isaiah 33:2

LORD, be gracious to us; we long for you. Be our strength every morning, our salvation in time of distress.

Joshua—early 20s—is a young believer and serving in the Air Force. May the Lord fill him to overflowing in solid Biblical truth vs the worldview encroaching on our young adults and culture. And may he grow in the wisdom and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ . . . serving our nation in good health (mind, body, soul) under the holy protection of God’s hands.

 

#6. JAMES

Psalm 94:18-19

When I thought, “My foot slips,” Your steadfast love, O LORD, helped me up. When the cares of my heart are many, Your consolations cheer my soul.

James—about to turn 30 this coming week—is a believer seeking God’s face and a breakthrough on several fronts: (1) understanding and wisdom on fiscal decision-making; (2) direction and a stronger footing in his life; (3) restoration where needed and continued alignment to God’s ways; (4) God’s intervention to heal and repair familial relationships; (5) salvation and growth in God for Alex and her entire family.
