August 14, 2017 at 12:43 amMy Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,
I have called the prayer line but feel led to reach out here too. Thank you, all of you for making this such a beautiful and welcoming fellowship. I ask your prayers for my son. He is a 35 year old , responsible and loving father of three and a believer. He is also an addict. He overdosed and died last October, but with CPR and Narcan, he was revived and went through extensive hospital rehabilitation with family love and support. Now his wife has left him and he ((after 10 months completely sober) has begun to drink .
Drinking makes him vulnerable to drugs, as it impairs judgment, and so I beg you to pray for my son and the children who adore him and depend on him. Even at his worst, he never stole or sold drugs, but he has nothing to show for years of back breaking work. He truly is one of the kindest people I know. Please , Pray with me that God will guide him through this difficult time and deliver him and his children who depend on him , safely from evil.
Thank You and God bless you all
Jill

August 14, 2017 at 5:53 amDear Sister Jill,
Sorry to read this. Your son is truly in amongst and within a spiritual fight, I know he is attacked because of who he is in God and how amazing he can be for others. Our enemy roams like a lion looking for someone to devour (1 Peter 5:8) and has only come to kill, steal the word and destroy our lives BUT Jesus is here to give our son live back to the full (John 10:10). Do not fear or be afraid he is mighty to save and he is acting EVEN now:Dear Lord Jesus,
Your know Jill’s beautiful son, drawn and consumed by temptation. Yet your light shines in the darkness and it has not overcome it. Your power and authority is complete when you speak it like thunder from heaven, like rushing water which pureifies, surround and protects. Your word covers the earth there is no place you can not reach. Lord reach out now, reach down and thunder at the enemy, attacked the strong holds around, send your warrior angels to surround Jill’s son, speak to him as he sleeps, awake his spirit, call to him lord, he will hear you and return to you. Let him see the need he has for you and you return the fullness of life to him. As he returns to you shower him with blessing in the years to come, build him up to be a light on the hill. Lord I know you are listening I feel your presence thank you for answering this prayer. I love you with everything. Amen.God bless your Sister Jill from you brother Andy in Christ.

August 14, 2017 at 6:17 amDear Sister,
I am convicted in what I have said, it will be like a dear friend of mine who through alcohol addiction had nothing but a plastic bag with his belongings in, yet God took hold of him and has lifted him high in every way you can imagine. Your son is and will be a warrior in the Lords army. There is hope in this. My spirit is alive as I have written rarely as I write is it so alive. I will also prayer for his family. Tell him I have him in my daily prayers entered into my permanent list with his family. Whatever you see do not be discouraged God is in complete control and knows his thoughts before he says a word and always has a path back for his son, doesn’t matter how many times he walks into the wilderness, there is a path back at every turn. Jesus is waiting for him just to look up 🙂pilly1356Prayers: 846Requests: 3

August 14, 2017 at 2:05 pmI’m so sorry to read this, Jill, but be encouraged….NOTHING is impossible with God!! He is mighty to save!! Father, I thank you for Jill and this request for her son and his children. You are able to give him a right mind and set him free from the bondage of drugs and alcohol- to set him free from every addiction. I ask that you would turn him around completely. Show him the direction to go and encourage his spirit that you are for him and no one can be against him. Encourage him that following hard after you and turning from everything that would bind him is the leader you call him to be and the father you call him to be and he wants to be for his children. Holy Spirit speak to him about the things that are to come. Give him a vision of his life in Christ so that all this addiction, suffering and pain can be behind him. Speak to him of his glorious future and the abundant life you have for him here and now on this earth. May he be a beacon of hope and of your great love, faithfulness and power to many. I am reminded of Terry who leads Celebrate Recovery and the story of his son. Thank you for giving Terry the mission to fight addiction with the truth and power of Jesus Christ. That same spirit that raised Christ from the dead dwells in Jill’s son. May he feed and nurture his spirit man. May he accept and live the truth of his crucified flesh. May he walk in your mighty power, Jesus. Through you, we are more than conquerors!! Thank you for brother Andy and his faithfulness to pray and remain in prayer. You answer prayer! Encourage Jill’s son to be in the Word and let it renew his mind and strengthen him for the battle. I agree, he is a mighty warrior! May you use him to advance Your Kingdom and proclaim the gospel to all those walking in darkness. Thank you Jesus for setting the captives free! With every temptation you indeed provide a way out!! Glory!!! Teach Jill’s son to rely on You totally and completely. You have good plans for him! Moment to moment, decision by decision and action by action may he submit to You and watch and wait with great expectation for what you will do. I will do the same by Your power, Jesus! You are the Great I AM!! You are holy! We are your people, called by Your Name. Fill Jill with Your Holy Spirit. Let her not give into fear or dismay. Let her put on her armor of God each day and use the weapons to stand in this battle fully protected and as an example for her son and entire family. You are for her!! Who can be against her? Victory…there is victory in Jesus!! Thank you for this Prayer Wall. Thank you for being our God, our Savior, our Lord and our friend. I ask all this in Jesus’ Name. Amen. I will keep praying for you and your son, Jill. I’ll be looking forward to hearing an update! Blessings to you! You’re a good Mama. Blessings!

August 14, 2017 at 6:45 pmThank you, Brother Ron. You and Brother Andy have reminded me to look up and trust. If I falter I will look back on these powerful testimonies to the awesome God we serve and the amazing people He puts in our path to remind us of His great love. I claim my son, Kevin, for the glory of Jesus Christ and trust that he will be delivered.
