Dear Friends:
We are so heartbroken to learn about your hard week. We are continually lifting you up to our Father and know that He will provide for all of your needs. We immediately went into action mode on your behalf and that of course led us to TARGET!
We shopped our hearts out of you and ran to the UPS Store to send it to Michael to bring to you….but, alas, it was going to cost a small fortune to send you our love and kisses. Instead…we will use that money for a little surprise that Michael is bringing for you and
we ate the hershey kisses, we hope you don’t mind! We did write you this nice card, but it wasn’t going to make it in time either, so here it is! We love you friends and are fighting this battle with you!
Our prayer for you: (everyone reading please join us in this prayer)
Father, we lift before you our brothers and sisters who are in the field carrying the Good News of the Gospel. We lift those in the Body of Christ who are suffering persecution. Father, we know that you watch over Your Word to perform it, that Your Word prospers in the thing for which You sent it. Therefore, we speak Your Word and establish your covenant on this earth. We pray here, and others receive their answer there by the Holy Spirit.
Thank you Father, for revealing to your people the integrity of your Word and that they must be firm in faith against the devil’s onset, withstanding him. Father, you are their Light, Salvation, Refuge, and Stronghold. You hide them in your shelter and set them high upon the rock. It is Your will that each one prospers, is in good health, and lives in victory. You set the prisoners free, feed the hungry, execute justice, rescue and deliver.
We commission the ministering spirits to go forth and provide the necessary help for and assistance to these heirs of salvation. We and they are strong in the Lord and in the power of Your might, quenching every dart of the devil in Jesus’ name.
Father, we use our faith, covering these in the Body of Christ with your Word. We say that no weapon formed against them shall prosper, and any tongue that rises against them in judgement they shall show to be in the wrong. This peace, security, and triumph over opposition is their inheritance as your children. This is the righteousness they obtain from you, Father, which you impart to them as their justification. They are far from even the thought of destruction, for they shall not fear, and terror shall not come near them.
Father, you say You will establish them to the end–keep them steadfast, give them strength, and guarantee their vindication, that is, be their Warrior against all accusation or indictment. They are not anxious beforehand how they shall reply in defense of what they are to say, for the Holy Spirit teaches them in that very hour and moment what they ought to say to those in the outside world.
We commit these, our brothers and sisters in the Lord, to you, Father, deposited into your charge, entrusting them to Your protection and care, for You are faithful. You strengthen them and set them on a firm foundation and guard them from the evil one. We join our voices in praise to you, Most High, that You might silence the enemy and avenger. Praise the Lord! Greater is He that is in us than he that is in the world! AMEN
