YOU'VE GOT TO CARE ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE!


You've got to care about other people if you are to be a prayer warrior or intercessor. It is the ultimate expression of compliance with God's laws left in the New Testament.

Love the Lord thy God with all your heart, mind and strength and love your neighbor as yourself.

The bible is very clear about the importance of Love; it says: "Upon this hangs all the law."

There's a level of compassion there. I thank God that you have it!

IF YOU ARE A PRAYER INTERCESSOR; WE NEED YOUR PRAYERS!

Blessings to you...if you are a prayer intercessor, I am asking you to agree with me in prayer to pray for greater faith, greater peace, greater understanding, greater revelation, greater wisdom, revival, greater thirst for the Word of God, greater disobedience and a greater harvest!

I am asking you to leave a prayer here at the site and to leave a note of inspiration here as the Spirit leads you. THANK YOU!

A PRAYER FOR FAITH AND AGAINST FEAR!

A PRAYER FOR FAITH AND AGAINST FEAR

In the Name of Jesus, Heavenly Father we draw closer to you this day. Father, I am sore troubled regarding these matters of _________, ___________________ and blank not knowing which way to turn. We join our faith together and stand on your Word for you are our solid rock. Father we cast off any fear that would come into the my heart. We instead cast the burden that ___________ (name) has this day upon you for I am the righteous and You will never suffer the righteous to be moved. We stand on your Word which says: And it shall come to pass in the day that the LORD shall give thee rest from thy sorrow, and from thy fear, and from the hard bondage wherein thou wast made to serve, (ISAIAH 14: 3) Father we know that you will give me rest from the prayer concerns that plague her/his mind today. She/He will wait on you holding fast to your Word: But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. (KJV) (ISAIAH 40:31) Father we take solace of the Word given unto us which says: And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever. The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace. (Exodus 14: 13,14) Father, I know that this battle that she/he speaks of, prays about; the one that has consumed most of her/his thoughts is not hers; but it is yours Lord. Your word says The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction. (Prov. 1: 23) Your Word says: Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you. (Proverbs 1: 23) You said: Speak not in the ears of a fool: for he will despise the wisdom of thy words. So Father I hear Your words today and in all future days. We confess that I am the head and not the tail, above and never shall be beneath. That _________ (name) will hearken unto your voice and keep your commandments. That she/he will hear your voice and the voice of a stranger she/he will not follow, regarding your guidance for her/his through these trials/tests that she/he faces.

Father, we don’t know how this is going to come out; but we know that NOTHING is too hard for you. We know that __________ (name) will hear your instruction and your reproof and if there is anything in his/her life that is in need of correction that she/he will diligently hearken to your Voice. It is our prayer that __________ (name) will not have indecisive faith but that she will meditate upon your Word both day and night; getting stronger and stronger always remembering that faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the Word of God. Father, we know that you have heard our petition and that you will honor my prayer this day, sending your ministering angels out in her/his behalf. We give you glory and honor and praise and we thank you for your mercy and your grace in the mighty name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. AMEN

A PRAYER OF ENCOURAGEMENT!

A PRAYER FOR ENCOURAGEMENT

Father, in the Name of Jesus we draw nigh unto you this day for we know that the Lord is nigh unto all that call upon Him; to all that call upon Him in truth. Father we know that every good gift and every perfect gift is from above and cometh down from the Father of lights with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. (James 1: 17) ; we know that whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty and continueth therein, he being NOT a forgetful hearer; but a doer of the work, this man shall be Blessed in his deed. (James 1: 25). So Father we bring the Prayer petition of ____________ ( name ) before you this day. Father, _________( name) (your name) is your precious child, your favorite child, we declare that favor goes before her/him and prospers her/his way. Father you have heard the prayer request of ________ ( name) regarding the matters of: _________________ and ______________. It seems that all kinds of temptations and tests surround _____________(name) and that her/his choices and strategies regarding what she/he will do are critical to a good outcome. So we go to your Word for direction which says: My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; Knowing this that the trying of your faith worketh patience; But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire wanting nothing. Father your word says: If any of you LACK wisdom, let him ask of God that giveth to ALL men liberally and upbraideth not; and it SHALL be given him. But let him ask in faith nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. James 1: 2-7) Father we therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace on ___________’s ( name) behalf in her/his time of need. (Hebrews 4: 16)

And we simply ask that you will pour your love upon ________ ( name) this day, give her/him wisdom, revelation, grace and mercy. We pray that the eyes of her/his understanding will be enlightened this day in the knowledge of who you are. We pray that in any trial or test that _________ ( name) will be sober minded, grave and temperate. We know that you are able Lord to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think according to the power that worketh in us. (Ephesians 3: 20). We declare that ___________ (name) is fully persuaded having full confidence that what You have promised you are fully able to perform. (Romans 4: 21) We thank you Lord for hearing our prayer and for answering our prayer in Jesus Name. AMEN.

THE WHOLE ARMOUR OF GOD!

Ephesians 6 V. 10-20

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day and having done all, to stand firm. Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace. In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one; and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints, and also for me, that words may be given to me in opening my mouth boldly to proclaim the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in chains, that I may declare it boldly, as I ought to speak.

Why I became a Prayer Warrior ...

There was so much happening in the Year 2002. The world was just calming down from the devastation of September 11th and we were all getting back to our sense of normality. For me, I was trying to focus on my spirituality. I procrastinated looking for a church physically.but in my spirit I was looking. I had noticed some swelling on my body which I thought was strange; but I decided to ignore it. It wasn't smart but that's what I did.

A few months later; the swelling was worse so I went to the doctor's. They said it was a very rare form of cancer. That's when I began to seek God. I am sure that God sent the lady at the bank to tell me about a special church service. I didn't put it off. On the way in, I told the Lord: Lord if this is where you want me to go then this man needs to talk about healing.

When the man began to speak; he began to speak about healing. I WAS IN THE RIGHT PLACE! IT was a wondeful, on time message.

My faith began to increase for healing and I began to pray, to confess God's word on healing. During a praise service to God that I had in my kitchen, I made a promise.

I said: Lord, if you will heal me, I will serve you! I meant it! And God honored my prayer. I was healed. I began to develop a prayer life during that time and I continued. It started off small but it turned into such an exciting life. After 6 months, I decided to become a Prayer Warrior; to pray for others. We will talk about Ephesians 6; the command to prayer warriors next.

The Prayer that changed my life!

I have a wonderful neighbor that is truly a praying woman. I was glad to know her but I didn't want to do what she did (pray) because I figured it was too much work and I was already busy. lol

I was working for my community at that time doing lots of volunteer work. I was keeping my family on the right track (I thought) and helping everyone that I could. Deep down inside; I knew something was missing from my life, but in my mind it wasn't an emergency. I couldn't put my finger on it. I did not understand.

Thinking back, my neighbor must have been praying for me as she saw me running in and out the house in a frenzy and having personal knowledge of so many of the tasks and responsibilities I had taken on. So after much prayer; she left me a note on my doorstep:

I came home and picked up a strangley folded paper. I read it with interest since it was addressed to me. The note which she had signed; explained how hard I worked and how busy I was; and then it asked: BUT WHAT ARE YOU DOINNG FOR YOURSELF SPIRITUALLY. Now I like to think of myself as a very smart person, so I thought:

How could she tell? Does it sh0w?
Can people really tell by talking to me that I am lacking anything spiritually?

The bad part was; I knew it was true. I was lacking spiritually! So that's what it was! I had tried to make it on my own maintaining a relationship with God and God was a great partner; I was not. I was checking in only for urgent matters or emergencies. As far as faith was concerned; I had some but not enough because faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God and I wasn't hearing it. I was estranged from the body of Christ.

That day, that I read that note, I awakened from a grand delusion. I had deluded myself like so many people into just living life. In the back of my mind, I began to realize that I needed to find a church home. So, finally I began to pray. That step changed my life!
