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.

 

#1. B’nai Israel (Jews) in Israel and throughout the world, and those caught up in New Age/Buddhism and those not knowing or unwilling to know the truth of Yeshua.

Usha Vance (Hindu wife of VP JD Vance), President Donald Trump, and all unsaved members of the new administration and the House/Senate and their families.

 

#3. Prodigals, those who have gone rogue and are now the enemy’s spiritual hostages. Austin and Emily S. and all those we know–and those we see in the film/music/entertainment industry—who once walked with our LORD but fell under the enemy’s beguiling ways.

Psalm 119 stirred within me for this prayer post. It continually speaks of His faithfulness, His Word, His statutes/testimonies. So every prayer request has a verse from it. May His Word elevate your own prayer time and as you are led by Him to pray for these who need God’s touch.

 

Here we stand, Lord, ready to serve, surrendered, listening, willing to learn. King of Glory, please grow our understanding of how to battle deeper, higher, in prayer with clearer spiritual sight so the enemy’s grip on these situations is weakened and removed. His strongholds, annihilated. His lies, evil sway, manipulative words and strategies, dismantled.

 

I was asleep but my heart was awake. A sound! My beloved is knocking!—Song of Songs 5:2a

 

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

DECEMBER PRAYER REQUESTS

 

#1. L.Q.

Psalm 119:125

I am your servant, give me understanding so that I may know your testimonies.

Possibly on the spectrum (ASD), L.Q. needs God’s strength, wisdom, and strategies on how to maneuver social issues and social demands at work and other venues. She lives, learns, engages, comprehends differently than other people. Even L.Q.’s elementary school daughter (who knows the Lord) needs help and counseling, fallout from the parental divorce, shared custody, and subsequent different spiritual influences.

PRAYER. Reliance on Him, His Word, His character. Who is there but you, God? Only you can sort these pressures, guide us along critical life roads strewn with land mines. Please, Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9:6), run deep in L.Q.’s soul, releasing and calling forth the clinical, physical, spiritual roadmap that she can understand and calmly, comfortably, assuredly follow and walk in. Jesus, please rise in and through all of this for your daughter and your GLORY. In your Name, Lord Messiah, we pray.

 

#2. MARIA

Psalm 119:131

I opened my mouth wide and panted, for I longed for your commandments.

Our dear sister Maria is walking through a rough time but praising God for her fellow Christian friends who stand with her and encourage her. She is learning how to include God in her suffering.

PRAYER. His presence, His enduring Word, His understanding. Abba, we know life is sometimes filled with long stretches of deep valleys—health-related, financial, work, relationship issues. See how Maria is longing for you, welcoming you into her trials. Walk with her in new ways, holding her up, showing her how to lean on you throughout the wilderness journey where trusting you releases strength to take another step. Where it firms the ground beneath her feet. Please cup Maria’s face with your gentle but strongly faithful hands and raise her face to behold you, gazing into your eyes, overtaken by your shalom, rest, beauty. In your holy name, Yeshua, our redeemer.

 

#3. Christine

Psalm 119:154

Plead my cause and redeem me; Revive me according to your Word.

Christine—a friend of one of our prayer partners—needs a liver transplant. Please pray she takes care of her health, her diabetes, and poor circulation.

PRAYER. His strength, His revival, His restoration. Mighty King, Christine is at that place many of us reach at various times—when we come to the end of ourselves and must place everything in your hands. As you call her to step out of the boat and walk on stormy waters, help Christine to sense your calming the raging wind and grab onto your hand, then tightly embrace you so you can lift her up, carry her through these uncertainties. May the power of the cross living within her be released, healing the situation, healing her body, restoring and elevating her soul. In Yeshua’s glorious name.

 

#4. Kari

Psalm 119:169

Let my cry come before you, Lord; Give me understanding according to your Word.

We continue to stand in the gap for Kari. She’s had cancer in the past (female anatomy) and now it’s growing again. In January she’ll be meeting with doctors so she can determine how she’ll treat this next phase.

PRAYER. His holy tent, His wings stretched, sheltering, defending. Redeemer, Restorer, we come before you, carrying the name of our sister Kari on our lips and on our heavy hearts. You alone know the course she should take. May your will become hers. Please cradle Kari in your Presence, your strength, your grace, your healing words, your love. Reign down your mercies on her, her children, her husband, her family. In Jesus’s faithful, powerful name.

 

#5. MATT

Psalm 119:175

Let my soul live that it might praise you; And let your ordinances help me.

Matt is 41 years old, bipolar with some emotional issues when not on meds. He’s back in a Utah city jail (mental health unit), 400 miles from our family. It’s as if a millstone was been wrapped around our hearts. We have no communication unless he calls—which is less and less. Apparently he’s just staying in his cell, lying around.

PRAYER. His might, His joy, His unexpected deliverance. Holy King, we fall before you, weakened, saddened, clueless. We seek your face and dunamis-powered intervention—making a way where there appears to be none. Rekindle your Word in Matt’s soul, reminding him of what he learned and loved in his earlier years. Bring solid Bible studies that honor our Messiah from biblical teachers with a heart and understanding of bipolar individuals. Please, my Messiah, bless Matt’s soul to praise you. Bring forth your tangible presence for companionship, protection, learning, spiritual maturing, healing, and deliverance.

 

#6. JAMES

Psalm 119:32

I shall run the way of your commandments; For you will enlarge my heart.

James seeks God’s direction, a shift to release him from work and life frustrations.

PRAYER. His will, His way, His love. Lord God of Hosts, you’ve shown us that discontent signals that a shift is beginning or underway. Use James’s frustrations to plow the fallow ground, the dry, previously comfortable patches, causing those parts of his soul to be made ready for seeding, watering, blooming, enlarging, and harvesting. In our Messiah’s precious, life-giving name, Yeshua.

 

#7. DALLAS JENKINS & THE CHOSEN TEAM

Psalm 119:38

Establish your Word to your servant as that which produces reverence for you.

Dallas—creator/director/co-writer of The Chosen—has asked believers to pray that God covers him with the heart and spirit needed to finish season 6 with his co-writers, being led by God’s guidance amid the production and holiday stress and busyness.

PRAYER. His voice, His heart, His shalom. El Elyon, your ways are beyond us. How mighty you move, your creativity flowing into and being poured out of your chosen clay vessels, Dallas and his entire team. Thank you for the sensitivity, spiritual insight, tightly written, believably acted, powerfully filmed series that moves people to read and study your Word. The work you’ve begun, please complete it for these last two seasons . . . and as they prepare for all the new biblical productions you’ve set before them. Bless their health, protect their families, keep them in your Word and ways, so all is done for your Glory and the good of those you’ve called to be yours. In our King Messiah’s beautiful name, Yeshua.

 

#8. CYNTHIA

Psalm 119:37

Turn my eyes away from looking at what is worthless, and revive me in your ways.

Cynthia needs to be brought into the fullness and uncompromising truth of God, our Messiah Yeshua, our Holy Spirit—and freed from the spiritual darkness and influence in her home and family.

PRAYER. His truth, His life, His Word made alive. Righteous King, unshackle Cynthia in mind, body, soul to know you, serve you, love you. Protect her from the enemy’s lies, trickery, manipulation. Let your love and life pierce her heart and soul for the sake of your name and Kingdom and her eternal salvation. In Yeshua’s sweet name.

 

#9. NICOLE & STEPHANIE & MOM/JOSIE

Psalm 119:59

I considered my ways and turned my feet to your testimonies.

These two sisters (a tween and a teen) need God’s stirring and a closer walk with Him so they love one another better and walk in His peace. Their mom Josie seeks safer housing for her and her two daughters.

PRAYER. His gentleness, His kindness, His bridge-building. Abba, we know discord saddens you—and that the enemy breeds discord. Show mercy on your young daughters by removing the hardness growing on their souls. Let your love penetrate their hearts, melting away and healing scars from words, disappointments, distrust, situations, betrayals, jealousies and envies. Remind them of your Word and ways and help them to find your path and walk on it again. And manifest your stability in their lives with safe, blessed housing. In Yeshua’s redeeming name.

 

#10. THOMAS

Psalm 119:40

Behold, I long for your precepts; Revive me through Your righteousness.

Bernie—one of our prayer warriors we’ve prayed for prior—is doing wonderfully after her hip surgery. But her family is being torn apart. Her son, Thomas, is back in jail after attacking his brother David and trying to hurt his mom’s hip. Thomas has become dangerous—and believing he has the devil in him. The family is emotionally stressed, but know the Lord has protected them.

PRAYER. His eyes are on the sparrow, His hand extends protection and imparts righteousness. King of kings, please intervene in every aspect of this painful situation. You know the reality of Thomas’s soul condition. Abba, move in sweeping ways to bind up the enemy, easing Bernie’s family’s fears . . . and cleansing Thomas’s heart, mind, soul. Please bring deliverance swiftly at every turn, fully, completely, undeniably. Be glorified, dear Redeemer, help Thomas long for you and your holy, good ways. In Yeshua’s mighty name.

 

#11. MICHAEL

Psalm 119:58

I sought your favor with all my heart; Be gracious to me according to your Word.

PRAYER. His relentless love, His unending mercies, His power from on high.

Psalm 119:68

PRAYER. His freedom, His completeness, His contentment in all situations.. God our Champion, Deliverer, Faithful and True, please show Cole that the only way to fill the holes, the emptiness of his life, is with You. Surround him at every turn with your truth, breaking down his stubbornness, pride, false thinking.

In Yeshua’s great name!

Sit with your daughter, strengthening her, guarding her health and home, leading her in every decision of what needs discarding, gifting, disposing. Ease the process for her. Be honored in Toni’s life and home. In Yeshua’s radiant name!

You’ve witnessed it on the news and throughout your everyday life: the escalating division, bitterness, lies, and hatred within the US that filters out toward Israel. A tinderbox on all sides, for sure. And likely sparking more waves and rumbles—spiritually and otherwise—well after the election, even with a Republican victory.
 

Encouragement: God is with us. His promises, ironclad.
 

I will go before you and make the rough places smooth . . . I will shatter the doors of bronze and cut through their iron bars. –Isaiah 45:2

 

His righteousness and grace will rain down on us, carry us through, lift our hearts, calm our souls as our eyes stay fixed on Him, His Word, His ways, and as we spend precious time in His Presence, loving on Him, ministering to Him, hearing His voice.

 

Mighty King, please strengthen us as we humble ourselves before you. Encourage us, guide our prayers, refine our souls amid this global raging storm—and dismantle the age-old demonic holds surrounding us and infiltrating our cultures, media, communities, schools, governments, churches, family, and friends. May your Name arise and your enemy and his minions demolished.

 

I was asleep but my heart was awake.

A sound! My beloved is knocking!

—Song of Songs 5:2a

 

I waited expectantly, patiently for the Lord

until He reached down to me and heard my cry.

—Psalm 40:1

El Elyon, our God Most High. Only you know the depths of despair, the struggles, Michael has faced. And only you know the weight he carries from the weariness of the battle.

We beg You with the strength and greatness of Your right arm, free the bound (untangle the knot) . . . Powerful and Holy One, in goodness lead Your flock . . . Unique One, Exalted One, turn to (face) your people who remember your holiness . . . Accept our prayer and hear our cry, Knower of mysteries.

(14) LATEST PRAYER REQUESTS

 

#5. Jamie

Psalm 25:6

Remember your mercy, O Lord, and your steadfast love, for they have been from of old.”

Bittersweet update. With God’s grace and bathed in your prayers (thank you all so much), Jamie made it through the hip socket surgery. He was to be moved to a rehab center this week, which was delayed due to a setback with pulmonary edema. But now the rehab isn’t going to happen. His stage 4 lung and liver cancer have spread even more . . . and he’s hoping to return home for at-home hospice care.

We bow before you, LORD, grateful for helping Jamie through the hip-socket surgery. Blessed Redeemer, this cancer continues to spread and is weakening him, unless you choose to step in. But it’s your will, your timing, your holy desire that we seek. Please stretch out your wings and draw Jamie beneath them, gently, mercifully, calmly, in your quiet love, as he looks to you along this final leg of his journey down here. Please strengthen him and his family (mom, brothers, children/grandchildren, cousins, etc.) during this time, especially the family members caring for him in this hospice state. And may their time together during these days be blessed and precious in your sight.

#7. Jeanelle

Psalm 69:16

Hear me, O LORD; for thy lovingkindness is good: turn unto me according to the multitude of thy tender mercies.

Thank you for interceding for Jeanelle’s SOS Prayer Alert. When diagnostics showed an abnormality in the uterus, she underwent an endometrial biopsy. Please keep praying—she has a hysterectomy scheduled for September 30.

#8. D.

Psalm 68:35

You, God, are awesome in your sanctuary; the God of Israel gives power and strength to his people.

For reasons unknown, D. suffers periodically with a respiratory infection.

May the power of the cross—its healing, deliverance, life-giving, and boundless love—emanate throughout her body for restoration, encouragement, and a reprieve from this ongoing condition. Help her rise up, strengthened by your chesed (lovingkindness) and your voice within the crevices of her soul that is affirming your love.

 

#9. Isobel

Colossians 1:13

He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son.

#10. Allie

Psalm 13:5

But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation.

Allie (friend of Daniela, #6 on this list) has been diagnosed with bone cancer. The shock of the news is disorienting . . . the suddenness of an unexpected life turn is jarring.

LORD GOD MOST HIGH, cover Allie with your garment of comfort. Release healing from your throne according to your will. May the excellence of your ways be evident in every medical treatment and care . . . and we seek your supernatural intervention for your glory and Allie’s good.

Oh, continue your steadfast love to those who know you, and your righteousness to the upright of heart!

Vee (a believer in Jesus her Messiah and a Catholic) has battled cancer many times, but now in her senior years, the cancer has returned and spread to her liver and elsewhere. Many days she prays for Jesus to call her home to Him.

Sweet Shepherd, our Deliverer, let your strength and mercy rain down from your throne and envelope Vee in this difficult, draining fight. Carry her in your arms, help her to feel your comforting presence, and cover her with your shalom (completeness and a peace not of this world).

 

#12. Bernie

Romans 15:13

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

#14. Erica

Psalm 40:13

Lamentations 3:22-23

The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.

Diagnostics on this man, a believer in Jesus, revealed “something” in the pancreas—possibly a stone. Further tests will be run for clarification and next steps.

El Elyon, our God Most High, you are the great Revealer. Please give wisdom and understanding to the doctors so this man will gain relief from the condition he’s been living with since late last year. And by your hand and love, may he be healed.

 

#16. Kevin

Hebrews 4:16

Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

Battle on. When God moves, the enemy stirs. God has ushered positive, new things to prayerfully ignite a new chapter in Kevin’s life—going back to a Christian university for a bachelor’s degree in Christian Studies with emphasis on Global Ministries. And he started his new job and likes it. Now he needs God’s covering and to stay armored up against the enemy’s wiles to derail things.

LORD, protect these gifts from you, your lovingkindness is too wonderful for us to comprehend. Please continue to help Kevin in his walk with you, in his work, and in his family. Gird him and raise up his soul for your glory.

 

#17/#18. James & friend Cole

Philippians 4:19

And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

 

(a) James, a believer, is seeking God’s open doors and guidance.

Abba, hear the heart of your son, James, and lead him forward in your Word, growing his spiritual maturity and firming the ground beneath him per your will and purpose.

 

(b) Cole is James’s longtime friend. Cole needs salvation and the right truck-driving work so he can eventually leave town for a better place.

Change is the word, LORD. Change in his thinking about you, change in his soul through redemption from Jesus, and change in his work opportunities that take him to better, healthier (spiritually and otherwise) living.
