My/Our Prayer Life!

With God ALL things are possible! Grace and Peace to you from our Lord Jesus Christ,

Ron and I are Back on the Island and feeling very Blessed and so thankful for a safe trip home, thank you so much for your much needed, coveted Prayers over us. Ron is doing very good,He has not had a seizure since being on the kepra, Praise God. We continually ask for God to do a miracle Here, Believing He can if it be in His Perfect Will.

“Yet those who wait for the Lord will gain new strength; they will mount up with wings like eagles, they will run and not get tired, they will walk and not become weary” (Isaiah 40:31).

Each trip we make to Santa Barbara to see the Dr somehow seems to be spiritual growing time for Ron and I,in that it is showing me/us how much we need Jesus and need to depend on Him, I don't understand all the Circumstances!!!!!!!! or get used to the daily spiritual battles, but I do know when I talk with the Lord --------He shows me more of why I need Him.

"Many Hours to think while on the road".

But we all, with unveiled face beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, as being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as from the Lord, the Spirit.

2 Corinthians 3:18

I Need Jesus to cover me daily,I need His Word to bathe me,wash me,cleanse me,renew me, restore me, revive me.
Ephesians 4:22-24 throw off your old sinful nature and your former way of life, which is corrupted by lust....................... {Attitude,Behavior,Actions,thoughts, all daily challenges for me}, and deception. .........................

23 Instead, let the Spirit renew your thoughts and attitudes. 24 Put on your new nature,
created to be like God—truly righteous and holy.

We rely on what Christ Jesus has done for us. We put no confidence in human effort, This is a daily reminder,application I have to do daily!

We were on the Fairie coming over to the Island and we got a Phone call from Ron's cousin Randy, He has been battling cancer, He has become a Christian since having Cancer,and His Faith has been sustaining Him through it. He was given a good reprieve for a few months and last night when He called us the cancer has come back and has spread all through His bowels, Ron and I were Praying Faithfully over Randy covering Him, daily, and when He said He was cancer free, a few months back.... we were saying... Thank you Lord! our prayers lightened up, .................... the Lord showed me so clearly last night after I got off the phone, His work is not done until it is done, and my part is being consistent in that partnership with Him to present Randy to Him in Prayer,cancer or no cancer,knowing He was susceptible to having the cancer come back. Randy knows his days are few,because there is no more the Dr's can do! Cancer is riddled through his body,major organs, But nothing is impossible with our Lord!

I confess I personally find consistency in prayer to be one of the biggest challenges in my life, prayer requires a lot of discipline and hard work. I know how effective Prayer is! so why is it so hard to be consistent? ............ I get consumed and distracted by other things and put off what should be the most important part of starting my day, Time with the Lord.

But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you Matthew 6:6

so that your giving will be in secret; and your Father who sees what is done in secret will reward you. Matthew 6:4

Prayer becomes action just as Faith is action, when we cry out to our Father,I see that... I do Trust God, I know that He answers prayer according to His Will, I am co-partnering with God in Prayer.I want to see God Heal Randy, I want to see God Heal Miss Daisy Love, she is 5 1/2 years old and cancer is showing it's ugly toll on this lille precious darling......

Nothing is impossible with God!

I want to see God heal my Husband Ron,I rely on the power and goodness of God.

Faith honours God, knowing that he is faithful. I want to depend on God to heal, restore,renew, these I Love .

Not only in Healing, but in the Salvation of the Lost...... the Blood of our Blood. Because we know the Truth,we have a great responsibility,to share the the gift of the gospel, the message of salvation in Jesus Christ.

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6,7

God's goodness to us is not just for our own benefit and pleasure. We need to share the Good news the Gospel of Jesus Christ. God show us how to do this!

Acts 4:31 And when they had prayed, the place where they had gathered together was shaken, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak the word of God with boldness.

I believe this word is for me/us today. I personally want to experience a greater degree of the Holy Spirits Power working in and through me/us,watching first hand God powerfully changing lives, souls being saved, bodies being healed. Seek ye First the Kingdom of God,and ALL His Righteousness. James 5:16 The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.

Corinthians 10:4-5 tells us, "The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds.

The power of prayer is not the result of me praying. The power in the "only" source God Almighty who I am praying to.

1 John 5:14-15 "This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us - whatever we ask - we know that we have what we asked of him."

No matter the person praying, the passion behind the prayer, or the purpose of the prayer - God answers prayers that are in agreement with His will. His answers are not always yes, but are always in our best interest. When our desires line up according to God's Word and His Will, .........God responds powerfully!

Daniel 4:35 proclaims, "All the peoples of the earth are regarded as nothing. He does as he pleases with the powers of heaven and the peoples of the earth. No one can hold back his hand or say to him: 'What have you done?'"

I want to encourage you, because I want to be encouraged , Prayer is our communion with God the one that created us to Worship Him and only Him, God help us to be serious co partners with you so that your work and power can work in and through us, your our only Hope our life line Lord Jesus, I Thank you Lord that you are so good to us, even when we do not deserve your goodness, Thank You that I can throw the whole weight of my anxieties on You, for I am Your personal concern. Thank you Lord for your Love, Grace and Mercy over us, Thank you that your Word is a lamp unto our feet and a light unto our paths, when we stumble because of our foolish ways,Thank you for your Word that is breath and food to our souls that replenishes us daily, “Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; let your glory be over all the earth.”Lord Jesus Bless each person that reads this blog,encourage their hearts to want and desire more of you, be living water that refreshes their spirit, keep their hearts soft,tender, opened to your voice, May we walk in obedience and be humbled by your Word, may it never be that I should boast, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ…We can depend on your very great and precious promises, I know all things are possible with You. Please keep us in check that it is Not our will we want done in our lives and others , But your Will Oh Mighty Powerful Father God. Lord Help us to have a kingdom mentality,so then we can see your Word become more alive an active in ours. All Glory is yours Holy Father.

Psalms 145:13 ...The LORD is faithful to all his promises, and loving toward all he has made.

Hallelujah

With God ALL things are possible! Hello all. Ron and I are still in Santa Barbara,and will not be going home for a couple more days,the weather is beautiful! Ron is seizure free thus far, Praise the Lord,---- He has been on the kepra since Wed. We figured He might take the Kepra before He goes to bed and let it do its thing on Him while he's sleeping as to not feel the side effects,
It works!!!! He wakes up feeling fantastic,and has no sensation of anything! Hallelujah! Thank you all so very much for your Continued prayers. May the Lord Bless you all abundantly. No matter our circumstance,God knows all things and is in Control of all things when we allow Him to be. I'm a stubborn Woman and I guess I really like being reminded of this, HA! The Father will protect us in spite of ourselves. We love you and Bless you in Jesus Name

Update on Ron

With God ALL things are possible! Thank you for all your continued Prayers over Ron, We saw the Neurologist and the Nero Surgeon today,Ron had another MRI The Tumor has not grown,as of now, this is good news! Ron has had over 67 seizure's and the Dr's impressed upon Ron that He really needs to get on the "Kepra" so as not to have a "gran mall seizure" Ron took his first dosage tonight. Its been a Great day, we celebrated our Grandson Elijah's 11th Birthday, We were all together . Bless you all, we will be back on the road Saturday heading back to Friday Harbor. God Is Good and we are thankful for today

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I've been thinking a lot about 2010.
What would I like to see changed?
And if I want to see some things/people change (starting with me), what part do I play in seeing change come?

So far, these are the answers I have come up with:

"Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction and faithful in prayer."
This is a scripture found in Romans 12:12.

I'm joyfully expecting/hoping for a lot this year. Regardless of the trials, tests and afflictions that may come it is clear to me that God is expecting me to be patient and faithful in prayer through it all. Sometimes I don't feel patient and I also don't always feel like praying but I realize after almost 20 years of being in the Lord's service that not much gets accomplished and little changes without prayer. I don't understand it all, I just know that it's a necessary part I must play in order to see God move in ways man can't.

That leads me to the next thing I've decided; I am going to pray impossible prayers. These are the prayers that unless God answers 'it's just not gonna happen folks!'

From where I stand there are lives that are in the balance...we're talking life or death sentences here.
Let's just take Ron for instance. The doctors have already told him that he's got a tumor in his brain and that tumor is inoperable. You know what that means? Ron's going to die! It's going to take his life unless God decides to heal him by a miracle.
See? That's just what I'm talking about; what is impossible for man is possible with God. That's what Jesus says in Matt. 19:26, I've just decided to believe Him is all.

Today Ron and Sandie are driving down to Santa Barbara from Friday Harbor, WA. As most of you know, the roads are icy and so they need prayers for a safe journey please.
On the 6th of this month Ron will have an MRI that will basically tell us whether this tumor has grown, shrunk or remained the same size.
He's been having seizures regularly that last a few minutes at at time but outside of those seizures you sure wouldn't know he's dying. He looks healthy and strong and is still able to do just about anything that needs to be done around the house and on the property they live on. Thank You Lord.

Ron and Sandie have also decided that regardless of what the MRI shows, they are not going to undergo chemo or radiation or biopsy's or anything else at this time. God has given them peace in this decision and we pray God continues to shower them with this peace as He unfolds their future before them.

I'm going to pray for miracles in 2010.

So I ask you....what seems impossible to you? I invite you to believe with me that "All things are possible with God!"

Have a safe journey Ron and Sandie. We're praying for your miracle. We love you!
