May 29, 2017 at 3:28 pmThank you all so much for your prayers. We have had our ups and downs over the past few weeks. Kory confessed to his brother privately that the drugs aren’t worth it and just as his tests were moving down in the right direction, he relapsed last week and went positive on a test. That combined with his lack following through on his decision to choose college over full time work and to have plans in place by the end of this month, with no progress on either front, has us watching him go out late at night, coming home and sleeping until noon or 2 pm each day. He quit his part time job for some unexplained reason. We were doing well after the family workshop, and this weekend we attended his cousin’s wedding. Kory cleaned up and looked spectacular, getting praise from the entire family. He is so intelligent, kind and articulate, but he can’t seem to move in the right direction. We have made a decision with our counselors to ask him to leave home this coming week. But we have made arrangements at a top notch treatment center in Montana, where they focus a wholistic approach to therapy, work and fun.
He’ll help operate a working cattle ranch, followed by a 3 week guided wilderness adventure for leadership building. Please pray that our efforts go smoothly and he moves ahead with this new chapter. Please pray that his mom and I can get through this week, it is very draining emotionally. Thank you.soundyaaPrayers: 3085Requests: 12
May 29, 2017 at 6:31 pmGod strengthen you and your wife Greg. God bless you for keeping going and not giving up and looking after your boy. I will be praying as you request. There does sound like hope in this, but I will be praying against the evil in this and that he would come to see that and also that he would really appreciate this week and understand how life could be better afterwards with the right choices. Praying in Jesus name. Amen.

June 17, 2017 at 6:09 pmI continue to pray for each of you and your families every day, that the Lord’s wholeness and shalom rest upon you. Much has happened since the last update. Kory had a relapse, and we were about to intervene again and actually send him to a treatment center in Montana, but at the last minute, the Lord intervened. The day we were going to confront him, packed bag in hand, he received a call from a prospective employer, referred to them by a former co student from high school. Kory cleaned up, got the job, and did a week of training and selling. His attitude towards using drugs changed and he verbalized his commitment to walk away from that to us. He was amazing for a week, totally on fire for his new job. This week he lost a bit of steam and is back to more of a part time schedule (his employer has him as a contractor, so he can sell and work his own schedule). We’ve seen him staying out late with friends again, but his last drug test appears to have an improved result. We need prayer that he continues to wake up to the Lord’s voice, change and soften his heart and that Jesus protects him from the enemy so that Kory and resist any temptation that arises.
Blessings,

June 18, 2017 at 11:04 pmThe lord has been speaking to me about worry. He has shown me that my thoughts hold my son captive. He has shown me that my fears can actually manifest reality and cause things to happen. He wants me to STOP micro managing my child. He wants us to see our children the way he’s sees them. Perfect. No matter what they are doing.
You see when I talk to my son like he is incapable of something he becomes incapable. Either that or he just avoids me because he feels judgment coming from me.
I am such an edgy an intense person. I worry too much. But what is it doing for me? Nothing Where the spirit of love is their is freedom. It is christs love and freedom that changes us and sets us free. I know that the world tells us that we must practice tough love and lay “the law” down. But is the lord telling you to do?
Love covers a multitude of sins. We can’t change our kids. We just have to show them that we 100% are with them no matter what they choose to do. We have to show them the real Jesus. He has NO CONDEMNATION.
He has already set us free. We just have to walk in it. We just have to see our children the way he sees them. We just have to trust that they are in his hands and that he hasn’t failed them. We haven’t failed them. Who cares what anyone thinks. It’s not over. We are going to get the last laugh. Our God did NOT bring us this far to drop us. He did bring us this far to show us that his love is unfailing. We have never once walked alone, and if we just let go of all of it and put all of the weight on him we will see the glory. We can praise him for it now. Your son IS a living testimony. He is set free, delivered and made whole. He will glorify the lord before all of the nations and nothing will stop him from being all that he is called to be.joesanchezfomPrayers: 112Requests: 28

We thank you Lord for your provision, we thank you for the Sacrifice made on the Cross and the power of the Holy Spirit that dwells in the hearts of your children. Father we pray for wisdom to Kory’s parents, we pray for life giving words, and surrender to your will. Father lift Kory up in your mighty name Lord, that you may redeem him from the stronghold of addiction Lord. That he may see your light, Lord and be compelled to respond to your call. Holy Spirit we ask you to come, in Jesus name we ask.soundyaaPrayers: 3085Requests: 12
June 19, 2017 at 8:09 amAmen to the above. Continuing to pray.
I believe in this Kory’s perseverance will develop character and hope in God (Romans 5:4).
Its a journey and not a single step
May Kory be built into the WARRIOR for God that he is being called to be, and my goodness he will be one heck of a warrior, do not fear Greg, my spirit is on fire at this message, yes, it is the TRUTH. Kory is being tested and refined and he will fight for our God and God will touch his life. Wow – just had an amazing experience!!!!!
God bless your week in Jesus name.
Amen

June 19, 2017 at 9:53 amPraying today that Kory would see clearly the role of the evil one in his life, that God would make it very clear to see the chains that bind him are from the evil one and he had become a salve to sin (Romans 6:6). I pray also that he knows also the power of God through Jesus to break these chains, because there is no other power like it. Will pray often Greg, and know all your efforts and all your sacrifice for him will be worth it because of who he will become for God.

June 28, 2017 at 12:31 pmHi Greg,
Over the last week I have just recorded some prayers for Kory. All I have written is how I felt inspired each day any prophesy given previously should be tested as it is written in the bible.20 June 2017
12pm That he would find peace and rest with all and any engagement with the Gospel. That he would learn the value of Matthew 11:28-30: Come to me all of you who are weary and heavy burden and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and burden light.22.35pm that Jesus would send the evil away. That God would speak and thunder from heaven and the evil would shudder and be moved away. To the evil in this you are not welcome stay away from our brother Kory.
21 June 2017
13.49pm for protection from God and guidance in Kory’s walk. For a sense of knowing what is right and what needs to be avoided.
16:46pm That Kory would have insight to the forces that shape his life.
20:11pm Praying that Kory would come to realise this:
Before you [Kory] say a word the Lord knows it (Psalm 139:4) and none of your ways are hidden from him (Hebrews 4:13) he knows you and loves you completely22 June 2017
12.05pm for a day of stability for protection from God and for blessing.23 June 2017
12.51pm That Kory would understand this calling for his life
“Come out from them and be separate, says the Lord. Touch no unclean thing, and I will receive you.” 2 Corinthians 6:17.
That through what he see he would know this to be true and be motivated and understand the need for God but also for his need to help others.
I pray he knows the love of God and really appreciates this and this understanding becomes his fire to help others.13.13pm
Once Kory believes and is passionate about the faith please tell him should he ever need prayer or anything I am able to give him this email soundyaa@icloud.com. That would be good.20.52pm that he would come to see the distractions of this life, that Jesus come to give life and in him there is life, it is not found else where. May he come to understand the spiritual warfare that is waging.
24 June 2017
22.22pm that temptation to do evil would begin to disgust him. That he would hate sin with a passion like no one else.25 June 2017
23.57pm
For peace to come to rest with him, for him to know that the Lord is his strength and refuge and for him to want more of what he has tasted from God.26 June 2017
23.00pm
That God would begin to speak into his life and change in from the inside.27 June 2017
22.03pm
That he would choose to get close to God and see it is a shelter and shield of protection (Psalm 91:4). In doing this and taking steps understand that it begins with the renewing of his mind in his spirit (Romans 12:2).28 June 2017
13.27pm
To keep going despite temptation, disappointment or rejection. To be able to patiently wait on God know he is working in the background. To seek his face when he feels tempted. To know he will be delivered through this trial and what awaits will provide the desires of his heart, that to follow Jesus would mean he would be given those desires.I am stopping there with writing down messages but will continue to pray as you said Greg. God bless.

July 17, 2017 at 5:25 pmThank you all for the touching prayers. I continue to pray every day that the Lord’s healing and peace rest upon each of you and your families. About 3 weeks ago we saw that shadowy change in Kory and found drugs in our car. Having relapsed, we followed our agreed to home plan and sent him to Wilderness Treatment in Montana. He has been there for 3 weeks. We are speaking with his counselor weekly who is thrilled to have Kory there and is telling us he is responding well to treatment, accepting challenges, working hard and most of all, showing signs of understanding who he is and aligning himself with the more mature young men who are committed to recovery. We don’t know what the future holds, but we are leaving that to the Lord. Kory is heading out next week on the 21 day trek into the Glacier Park area mountains, where we expect Jesus will meet him. Please pray that Jesus awaken Kory, meet him there and speak to him, and that Kory will turn towards the Lord. Thank you again for your deep and heart felt prayers. Blessings, Gregg

August 14, 2017 at 8:44 amThis week and possibly today is a big step for Kory. All reports from the counselors at the center are that he has put all of himself into recovery and quickly stepped into a leadership roll helping on board other young men who do not want to be there. Everyone we have spoken to is really impressed by this young man. He has been on his wilderness trip in the mountains with a team of young men for a week now. He should be reaching the summit of the mountain any day, possibly today. This is a life changing event for him. Thank you for your ongoing prayers. Please pray that the Lord speaks to Kory in a deep and special way today and the rest of this week. Please pray that the eyes of his heart are opened to see Jesus, that he embraces the joy of salvation and that he receives the wisdom that God has for him. For healing and peace. Thank you and I pray for each of you at DAB every day!

August 14, 2017 at 3:47 pmThank you brother Gregg for keeping us posted on Kory’s progress. God is faithful and I am trusting Him to continue that which he has started within Kory’s life. May the hand of God be outstretched towards Kory and may every force that tries to work against the hand of God forever be silenced.
In the name of Jesus, I pray for a restoration for everything the enemy has stolen from Kory. By faith I take back that which the enemy has stolen from Kory and by faith all the goods the enemy had stolen are hereby restored to Kory.
I pray a special blessing upon this young man. Whatever the enemy thought Kory will not accomplish in this life – I say it Kory will accomplish in the name of Jesus!
I decree in the name of Jesus -Kory’s destiny will NOT be stolen by the enemy.
Amen! It is done!pilly1356Prayers: 846Requests: 3
August 18, 2017 at 12:07 amPraying for your son, Kory, and for you and your family. I understand and care. I lift him up to The Lord who is strong to save. May God give you all the strength and courage you need to be the support he needs to recover.Sometimes, that looks like tough love and sometimes like the good Samaritan. No matter what… I ask His protection over all of you …I claim Korys freedom from addiction in the name of Jesus Christ. I also pray for healing of the broken hearts of his parents and family. May the Holy Spirit abide with you and give you comfort.

September 9, 2017 at 4:39 pmThank you all for your prayer coverage. I pray for the Lord’s healing and peace over you and your families each day. Kory’s counselor let me know that while on his 3 day solo in the wilderness, something happened and his heart was softened. He thinks the Jesus called to him and Kory heard him and opened his heart. We just returned from our family visit and it was a life changing experience spending three days in therapy with other families and their addicted sons and brothers, sharing pain, love and affirmation while learning more about how to support these young men in their journey. Significant healing happened. Kory is 60 days clean and looking forward with enthusiasm to the next 3-6 months, with some fear about not knowing how it will unfold. The Lord not only opened Kory’s heart, but has now surrounded him with a group of fantastic young men in a sober living environment in a dynamic city that includes focus on Jesus, completing steps 5-9 in the 12 step, group therapy, serving, life planning and fun with Christ at the center. This is indeed an answer to our prayers. I’ll keep you all posted. This is the part where Jesus is showing us (you) the fruit of the prayer ministry that is so important. That’s what this board is all about. So I will keep you informed. Please pray that Kory’s faith launches and he responds to Jesus’ voice by opening his heart to the Lord more deeply each day. Please also pray for his older brother Adam who has been struggling with low self esteem and a lack of direction in life. Adam just started what we hope is his final year of college and is apprehensive about the difficult science classes he is now needing to push through. Thank you all so much and thank you Jesus.
