Prayer.....

God Father; I ask it in Jesus' name that You refresh in us Your gift of prayer. Place people across our spirit and heart's whom You want us to pray for and how You want us to pray for them. Let us not grow weary in praying. Strengthen us physically, mentally and spiritually as we pray, let us have strength when we are awakened in the midnight hour to pray for someone. Fill us with how to pray. Allow us to pray in the Holy Spirit as we are led to pray. Lord let us come together in fellowship to pray for our government, families, jobs, pastors, teachers, friends, churches let all be occassions of prayers said in love. Lead each person to scripture pretaining to prayer and may we be blessed by it. Let us shake the mountains and move them with prayer. Annoint us with empowering in prayer, in Jesus' name. Amen.....

“Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation.” (Mt. 26:41)

“Continue earnestly in prayer, being vigilant in it with thanksgiving.”

(Colossians 4:2)

Then he [Jesus] spoke a parable to them to this end, that men ought always to pray and not lose heart.” (Luke 18:1)

“Pray without ceasing.” (1 Thessalonians 5:17)

“Watch therefore and pray always” (Luke 21:36)

Prayer [Gk: "proseuche"] is “communion with God”. Through prayer we actually experience relationship with God. The quality of our prayer life then determines the quality of our relationship with God. Prayer is talking with God. Prayer is listening to God. Prayer is enjoying the presence of God. It can take many forms – for example: worship, confession, thanksgiving, praise, petition (asking for things), waiting (silent, listening and sensing of God) and warfare (command). If we are baptized in the Spirit we can pray with the spirit, in languages unknown to us but not to God. (1 Corinthians 14:2,14). Prayer is not simply saying words. It is not repeating formulas. God is looking for heartfelt relationship. We are told by Jesus not to make meaningless repetitions of words when we pray. (Mathew 6:7). (information from National Day of Prayer; web site)

Prayer is also love, we are to pray in love. To me prayer is communion, liquid fire, and alive, it is love talk with God. A telephone line to Dad. Conversation with God. Prayer does not have to be a half day item, it can be several short prayers through the day. Sometimes I pray for hours, again that is up to the leading of the Holy Spirit, sometimes, I pray for 10 mins. It just depends on whom needs prayer. I love to pray, and it seems as though God has given me the grace to do it. I worked on a prayer line for 5 years, almost 365 days a year, am I bragging, no, God gave me the grace to do it, at that time it was His will for me to be doing that, and I truly miss it. I have started a prayer forum; at

To encourage you..if you have been praying for someone a long time and you have no answer yet, keep praying. I fell away from God about 10 years, a friend of the family prayed for me 20 years, and I was lead back to God. I am the result of people praying for me. I have even heard of people praying for years, for someone, that praying person passes, and the prayer was answered years later after they passed....this statement came from a pastor it was her Mother. ( a husband/wife pastor team) she knew what her Mom had prayed all those years, so she knew, she was astounded.

I encourage you if you are praying for a loved one to be saved, redeemed than pray Colossians 1:9-12 for them. Yes, sometimes I just pray scripture for a person, it is God's Word. I pray for everything, that is me though, the grace to do it. Prayer is a privilege given to us in love. Tomorrow is the National Day of Prayer, please join with your church and pray for the United States, the government, your friends and family. If you cannot make it to a church to join in several web sites online are offering services, if you have any prayer requests I always will pray for you, so just send them, I also forward to several prayer lines, I never include last names, for your protection. Be blessed......

What happens when you don't pray???

…....nothing changes.....

"The Hills have His eye upon them..."

In my business which is now in sales, I have asked God to open doors to what I have to share but once I am there  to see that the reason I am in that home which now covers a 100 mile stretch up and down and 75 mile stretch east and west-in North West AR and So West Mo.that if the need is for prayer or council help me to see it . Listen to this:  A business owner of a large trucking firm, 20 plus  miles out in the hills . My boss whom went out with me swears he heard dueling banjo's twice . They needed a healing touch and prayer . A young man who had just lost his fiancee over a spat . I pushed back my sales material and said , I believe I am here for something else lets talk and we had prayer . A lonely man who raised a grand daughter who is now a long way away ,every thing he has will be hers he said pray for "Hope". A lady canceled an appointment because she just found out she had to take her husband to Mayo Clinic . I asked her do you believe in prayer ? Yes , we prayed . Last night after about  30 some phone calls . With very little business success,I thought, I will call  just one more from my random chosen list. Hello , I am with ...We can not do any thing she says because I am having to go to the hospital so much . Lady do you believe in prayer ? She begin to weep . As I hung up I said, I will pray for you . Remember Linda in Cave Springs AR. please . Remember me as I continue to minister where ever I am . This is what I preached for 34 years to people. Just be Jesus hands and feet and ears where ever you are ,always. The money I do need to make also to feed my family and pay bills, oh it will come but its people that need Jesus leaking from our life bucket the most . When we walk in his steps we never know the turns in the path he will take ."Who touched me " But Lord there are many here . Yes but some one touched me and she needs me . And You My friend may be the one they touch today . All orchestrated by Jesus for you to show him to them , be ready for that little touch that no one else notices ......

" for I will be behind you....saying go in this way"

point to ponder....there are no just chances with God, He puts us exactly where He wants us to be His hands and feet, and places people across our path daily; to encourage, to pray with, to listen to, to witness to, to love with agape....if that is not happening....maybe you have been to busy to notice....

 Are You My Daughter?

Do it afraid……….pray before you go for the Holy Spirit to work through you, and again in church for Him to fill you, than just pray from the spirit and heart, He will cause the scripture to just pop up in your mind, spirit.
My problem when I am praying for someone with my hands on them , that they are praying out loud, it is very hard to focus, but when 2 or 3 are gathered to gather, what so ever we may ask shall come to pass because He is right there with us. I also had a problem with public speaking, go figure, I am a minister; so the scripture He takes the foolish to confound the wise. I did my Dad and Mom’s funeral it was difficult, I called Him, on the first one He blurred the audience so I could not see them, and stood in front of me, on the 2nd, I felt like I had been drilled by a drill sarge. He had my Dad say to me before he died, quietly,”Are you my daughter”; “Yes, Dad I am your daughter” again,”Are you my daughter( said louder); “Yes, Dad I am your daughter(I matched his loudness), the 3rd time he was yelling at the top of his lungs, as an army sarge.” ARE YOU MY DAUGHTER?” I replied;”YES, DAD I AM YOUR DAUGHTER” than he yelled “GOOD, AND DON’T YOU EVER, EVER FORGET IT” You know I did not have a problem doing his funeral, I felt like both God my Father was with me and my Dad, at a time when I was telling people about his life, I faltered but the phrase popped in my head;”Are you my daughter” and I finished. Every time when I speak; I shall always pray first, and remember I am His daughter.
Ever since I was a child I have had a problem with public speaking, I know now it is the devil, trying to get me not to speak. So go for it, do it afraid, pretty soon, it will be old hat. I made a list of what would be the most terrible thing that would happen if I screwed up; people laughing at me; people not talking to me, etc. and you know what it doesn’t matter, what matters is His love, just pray in love, the spirit, know human is perfect we all have faults……..
