NEW PRAYER REQUESTS: [8]
#1. RABBI JONATHAN CAHN & FAMILY
Psalm 32:7
You are my hiding place, a refuge. Protect me from distress, trouble. Surround me with songs of deliverance forever. Selah
Request: Focused on biblical prophecy, Jonathan Cahn—a Messianic Jewish rabbi/pastor and a best-selling author many times over—has led believers to the meticulous and intriguing nuggets God has woven into His Word. Rabbi Cahn firmly stands on the Word of God in his teachings. He’s a gifted encourager using God’s Word, promises, character, and Redemptive Plan to reassure the Body of Christ. And he’s generous with his ministry work, giving God the glory through it all. He, his wife, and their children need the Lord’s strength, protection, and continual leading in these tumultuous times of escalating spiritual attacks.
Prayer prompt: Praise you, El Elyon, the Lord Most High. Thank you for the calling and anointing on Rabbi Cahn, for your faithfulness girding the unique ministry work you’ve purposed for him. May you stretch your tallit of protection broadly over him and his family, guarding them on all sides from the works of the enemy. And please continue to help them “Keep their heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life,” as Proverbs 4:23 reminds us. As Rabbi Cahn moves in your Holy Spirit, encouraging the Body, may you encourage and refresh his soul. And may you rain down joy and shalom from your glorious throne to cover and bless him and his family. In the beautiful name of Yeshua.
#2. GREG
2 Samuel 22:5-7
For the waves of death encompassed me; the floods of destruction terrified me. The ropes of Sheol surrounded me; the snares of death confronted me. In my distress, I called upon the Lord. Yes, I called out to my God and, from His temple, He heard my voice. And my cry for help came into His ears.
Request: Greg—a military Vet and paraplegic—is battling a different kind of war. He has an inoperable tumor on his spine that confines him to bed. The toll is great on him, his wife, and his family. Their hope is that Greg will finally get help from a VA care program. Spiritually, he and his wife deeply need God’s intervention to remove spiritual blinders and enslaving yokes so their souls can know and receive Jesus as their Savior.
Prayer prompt: Blessed King, please demolish strongholds of delay, barriers, discouragement, illness, and spiritual blindness, stubbornness, doubt. Adonai, you alone are Haggo’el (the Redeemer), Ha Kadosh (the Holy One). We stand on Deuteronomy 32:3-4: We proclaim your Name and declare your greatness. You alone are the Rock, your work is perfect, for all your ways are justice. You, GOD, are Lord of faithfulness who does no wrong, You are justice and righteous. May your just ways rise over Greg’s situation with the VA—and your mighty words of mercy slice through every obstacle, every bit of red tape, every loophole to bring him relief. El Shaddai, with a single word from you, the inoperable becomes operable; the unseen, seen; the impossible, a reality. Woo Greg and his wife to the cross where they can be immersed in the depths of your love, mercy, chesed (lovingkindness) and be joyfully saved. Mighty King, in and through all this, please roar from your righteous throne of authority and release redemption and restoration so the heavy darkness that’s been entrenching Greg is replaced by your Glory-light of Heaven. In Yeshua’s wondrous name.
#3. MRS. C.
Psalm 116:1-2
I love the LORD, for he heard my voice; he heard my cry for mercy. Because he turned his ear to me, I will call on him as long as I live.
Request: Pushing 100, Mrs. C. walks with God and has helped so many throughout her long life. She seeks God’s grace to sustain, restore, and heal her throughout this season of life that is truly a gift from God.
Prayer prompt: King of life, King who sustains life. Blessed is your name and ways, King of Glory. Thank you for the long, good years you’ve given Mrs. C. Please protect and strengthen her mind/memory, her bones/agility, her whole body, her emotional health, and her prayers for others—as you guard and guide her soul to know your beauty and love in new ways. Because you, LORD, are the true God, the living GOD and the everlasting King (Jeremiah 10:10a). In our Redeemer Jesus’s sweet name.
#4. DEB
Psalm 27:10
For my father and my mother have forsaken me, but the Lord will take me in.
Request: Enveloped in the longtime effects of an estranged family, Deb could use a glory dose of God’s presence to abundantly fill her life with Him and with people who will love on her, people who love the Lord and truly walk with Him.
Prayer prompt: The Heart of God. Beloved Father, you see the loneliness, the emptiness, and the sting of rejection that may flow at times through Deb’s heart. Show yourself in ways that comfort her, filling her to overflowing. Call people forward to fill in the gaps in her life so it’s completed by you and sweet fellowship from other believers. And may those familial relationships be healed, restored by your hand. Adonai, may Deb witness this promise from Isaiah 55:12 in her life: “For you shall go out in joy and be led forth in peace; the mountains and the hills before you shall break forth into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.” In the magnificent name of our Savior, Jesus.
#5. CHRISTINA, BOB & DON, DR. J.
Philippians 2:9-11
For this reason God also highly exalted Him and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee will bow, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and that every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Request: Four individuals caught in the world’s mindset and greatly needing God’s intervention for eternal redemption in Yeshua (Jesus, our Messiah).
Christina: Following the world’s ways, scoffer of the Word.
Bob & Don: Being demonically lied to, yoked in a longtime lifestyle of homosexuality.
Dr. J.: Successful medical career but seemingly engulfed in a New Age mindset that doesn’t acknowledge or give glory to God.
Prayer prompt: Mighty Deliverer, Judge of all the earth. Adonai, you alone can break the yoke of disbelief, pagan mentality, stubbornness, pride, self-grandizement. Please look with pity on these four and step into their lives, encircling them with your truth and soul-transforming presence. Where there is hardness, raise up surrender. Where there is arrogance, call forth humility. Where there is spiritual blindness, drop the scales from their eyes so they can see and believe. In Yeshua’s redeeming name.
#6. MARY T.
Psalm 19:14
Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer.
Request: Mary and her family have been under spiritual fire. They need deliverance, God’s provisions and relationship mending, and His gracious spiritual realigning.
Prayer prompt: God, the life-giver. Abba, you know how the enemy likes to distract us, to get our eyes off you and on other things, people, situations. Loose and remove the enemy’s ties that have bound Mary and her family. Please help them unite as one before you, standing on your Word, their ears fine-tuned to your voice–and no other. May they walk in your words through the prophet Samuel (1 Samuel 12:24): “Only fear the Lord and serve him faithfully with all your heart. For consider what great things he has done for you.” In Jesus’s loving name.
#7. SERENE
Matthew 5:16
In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.Request: Serene seeks God’s clarity and flow for the last two chapters of her book, a testimony of God’s mighty deliverance and salvation in her early life.
Prayer prompt: Lord, you are our inheritance. Father, you know Serene’s testimony. Please give her a platform to share it with many so they can find their way to you, to your love at the cross. Guide Serene through these final chapters and the next part of the publication process so you alone get the glory. May your name be woven into every page of the book, and may it be blessed by a kiss from Heaven. In Yeshua’s blessed name.
#8. GRANT & SHANNAN
Romans 12:1-2
I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.
Request: From health concerns to spiritual issues, this dear couple needs God’s mercies and deliverance, physical/mental/emotional/spiritual healing, and a surrender to God.
Prayer prompt: God is our strong tower. Adonai, gracious Father, you know we stumble and fall. But with your help and glorious presence, we can stand again. Thank you for your loving character that can move into this couple’s life, making all things new. May they be bowled over by your hand of mercy and transforming power. May the depths of their souls weep for joy because of who you are—and who you’ve shown yourself to be for them. “The LORD, the LORD, a GOD merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness”—Exoduss 34:6. May the power and truth of that scripture become a reality that saturates their lives. In Yeshua’s mighty, life-transforming name.
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.”
