June 4, 2018 at 10:39 pmMy name is Jeanette. I want to ask for prayer for my husband, Vince. He has Parkinson’s Disease and his symptoms have progressed to the point that he is going to have brain surgery called Deep Brain Stimulation. This surgery happens in 3 stages, the first of which will be June 5th, when they place 4 screws (called fiducials) under his scalp to serve as markers. The second stage happens on June 13th. This is the most invasive part of the process where they drill holes in his skull and place electrodes into his brain. The last stage happens on June 25th when they place a battery pack on his chest (kind of similar to what they do for a pacemaker). On July 10th, they will actually turn it on for the first time and we’ll find out how it works for him.
Vince has been struggling so much. We have been asking God to heal him since he was diagnosed in 2008. We realize that God uses everything in our lives to draw us closer to Him. So would you please pray that number 1: we will draw still closer to God through this process and that God will accomplish what He desires in our lives. Number 2: would you please pray for an extraordinarily successful outcome so that Vince can regain a good quality of life and that he would be able to do things again.
We really want God to be glorified above all else.Vince and I love and appreciate you family. Thank you for your prayers.

June 5, 2018 at 12:01 amHi Jeanette. I’m standing with you in prayer. You and Vince sound like amazing saints. You are indeed bringing glory to God. I am praising Him for your testimony of faith and endurance. Keep fighting the good fight. It will all be worth it!
Father, thank You for Jeanette and Vince. I lift Vince up to You. I, too, ask for complete healing. I speak to the Parkinson’s disease and command it to be gone in Jesus’ Name. Body be healthy and well in Jesus’ Name. The resurrection power is at work in you. Mind, body and soul be filled with the Holy Spirit. Wake up and be completely restored to good health in Jesus’ Name, Vince. All for the glory of God. Go and tell of what He has done for you!! Daddy, I want to read the praise report. I ask, believing all things are possible with You. I speak to the disease as You tell me to. Your power is great! Your power is in me. You have given us authority to overcome all the power of the enemy. Should You have better plans than my thoughts, I ask You to comfort Vince and protect him during the surgeries. I ask that they all go well. Guide the doctors and direct the nurses. Let Vince receive the best care. Let him not experience any pain before, during or after the surgery. Keep his eyes on You. Let his hope be in You all day long. You are faithful! As Jeanettes asks, I ask that You help them to draw closer to You. Bring them closer to each other as well. Let their witness shine brightly for Jesus. Fill them both with Your Holy Spirit. Let everyone who sees them or knows them know that You are alive and well and living in them. Move them to repentance and into a relationship with You because they see Vince and Jeanette and want what they have. Give them total peace. Remove their suffering. Let them rest in You and be able to rejoice in You. I thank You for what You’ve done, are doing and will do in their lives. Be glorified Lord. End this ordeal whether by complete healing or by letting this work SO well that Vince will be able to say that he’s a walking miracle because of what a drastic improvement these surgeries have made on his quality of life. You know what is best. Your plans for them are good. I believe it. Bless them. Thank You for always answering prayer! I praise You. I pray all this in Jesus’ mighty Name. Amen and Amen.
Shalom, Jeanette and Vince.

June 8, 2018 at 9:31 amDearest Janel,
Wow, what an amazing prayer warrior you are! Thank you so much for this beautiful and powerful prayer. You have given us such a gift in praying for us and agreeing with us in prayer. The first part of Vince’s surgery went wonderfully well. He has had very little pain and although we have experienced a speed bump (he had to have a sore tooth extracted yesterday in order for us to be able to proceed to the “big” surgery on June 13th), the Lord has provided a special saint to provide help and encouragement along the way. His extraction went very well with no pain. In reading your prayer, Vince and I are reminded of the verse that says the prayers of a righteous person is powerful and effective. Thank you again, and may God bless you mightily, powerfully, and abundantly in every way. Shalom to you, dear saint!PraiseHimPrayers: 1075Requests: 110
June 8, 2018 at 10:12 amHi Jeanette! I’m SO happy to hear the praise report about Vince and the surgery!!! Praise the Lord!! I’ve been praying for you both each day. Just this morning as I was driving I prayed again and then the same scripture you mentioned came to mind: The prayers of a righteous man avails much. I know that Jesus has made me righteous. YES!!! Thank You Jesus!! As I prayed I asked for Vince’s healing and for God to comfort you both and encourage you. God answers prayer!! I’m sorry to hear about the tooth, but praise the Lord that went well, too. Today I also thought about how there is much pain in the world and sometimes I wonder why. I know sin entering the world is a big part of it, if not the main part. But presiding over it all is that God has His plans and they are good!! We are encouraged to keep our eyes on Jesus and keep following Him. And so we carry on by His power and with His love as our banner. Really wonderful, right? Thanks SO much for thinking of me and sharing the praise report!! I love to hear them and give God glory, thanks and praise!! It always encourages me and strengthens me. I need that. I will keep praying for you both and the upcoming surgeries. I’m still asking for total healing.
Father, You are SOOOOO good!! Thank You for answering prayer by letting Vince’s surgery go well with little pain. I ask You to strengthen him and make his body healthy and well. Thank You for the extraction going well. I ask for total healing from Parkinson’s disease. Vince, be healed in the Name of Jesus Christ! Disease be gone through the same power that raised Christ from the dead. Vince be renewed to the days of your youth so you can go and share the good news and heal as you’ve been healed in Jesus’ Name. Father, strengthen Jeanette as well. Let her and Vince keep their eyes on You and believe that You heal and do AMAZING things today just as You did in the past. Bless them richly, Lord! Let them be excited about the future and the plans You have for them! I thank You and praise You for Jesus’ blood that was shed for me!! Thank You for making us righteous so we can serve You, represent You, minister to others and minister to You. All Your words are true! Thank You for what You’ve done, are doing and will do in our lives. Thank You for DAB. Bless DAB, this Prayer Wall and all the Dabbers. Fill us with Your Holy Spirit so we can walk in Your ways and bring You glory as You use us for Kingdom purposes. Yes!! Amen and Amen. In Jesus’ Name I pray.
Blessings to you and Vince, Jeanette. This IS the day the Lord has made! I will REJOICE and be glad in it!!
Shalom,
Janel -
