Father, it appears that the enemy is running rough shod over your people, this is probably mostly due to a lack of knowledge on our part, because your word says, "My people are destroyed for a lack of knowledge", your word also says, "if any man lacks wisdom let him ask of the Father who will liberally pour it out", Therefore, I am asking on behalf of the entire body of Christ that you would pour out your wisdom to us, that you would open our eyes so that we can see the Truth, and know who and what to fight against, that you would open our hearing so that we can hear your voice and follow your instructions, that you would open our understanding so that we can comprehend the height, length, and depth of your love, your power, your authority, and our rights as sons and daughters of the most high God.  I lift up our fallen brothers and sisters and I bind up the powers of the enemy that are working against them.  I remit their sins, and the sins of their ancestors and I bring the cross of Jesus between them and all curses, I release the holy angels to do warfare on their behalf, to operate in the spirit in all ways that you have ordained to bring healing both spiritually and physically to them.  To minister to their needs and fulfill their purpose at this time.  I ask Lord that you would give us greater wisdom than Solomon had to fight the good fight of faith, and to be victorious even as Jesus was victorious in his warfare and in completing his race.  Thank you Lord for providing all the tools that we need, and teach us to use them as you would use them yourself.

In Jesus name,

Amen

Please pray for our neighborhood, we have two neighbors who are having anger out bursts and who are making the neighborhood seem dangerous at times, and at the very least not peaceful. 

Thanks

Please pray for my Dad's healing.  He has fluid on his lungs, and tests so far have been inconclusive, though they have ruled out cancer.  He has had some fluid removed, but it is building up again.  He may be offered an investigation under general anaesthetic, but he says he will decline this as he thinks there is too much chance of him not waking up again (he is nearly 83).  He has asked for prayer for healing.

Father,

I lift up all these needs to you.  At times we feel so very human and unable to find answers to the daily problems of health, finances, and the ministry.  But we know that you are well able to meet every need according to your riches in Glory!  Father, above all we are in desperate need of your spirit, your truth, your strength, your faith, your mercy, your grace, and your presence.  Please pour out your spirit upon the brothers and sisters and give them divine wisdom and knowledge to find the answers to their daily needs.  Help us Lord to learn the lessons you are teaching us, and to allow you to break our outer man so that our inner man may come forth in great power and win the lost for Your kingdom.  Help us to put our faith, trust, and efforts into the things you want us to do, and not to put our valuable time and energy into things that are not of your purpose and plan.  Father, we ask that a new outpouring of your healing would touch to bodies of those that are ill, and that a new outpouring of revelation would touch the minds of your servants so that we can serve you with singleness of purpose because we know the vision and purpose that you have given to each of us individually.

Help us Lord to bring the lost to you, and to disciple them in your way.  We bind up the spirits of darkness that are working to stop true salvations, and we bind up the strongmen that the captives will go free in Jesus name.

Father, we thank you and give you the praise and the glory for all that you are accomplishing in the world in this hour!  You are truly and magnificent and awesome God!

Amen

Thanks for all the updates, and prayer requests.  I am so glad to have a source of information for areas of need that we can share and help one another!  I do lift up all these situations to the Lord as I read them, and I am sure that others do too.  I don't always write a written prayer or a response, but I want to assure everyone that does not mean there are not prayers being said!

The body of Christ is so wide spread, and covers so many diverse areas that it is impossible for us to fully "know" the prayer needs of others without a place for requests to be available.  So, I want to thank everyone who participates, both in leaving requests, and in prayer.

Praise report to prayer requests I posted last fall for a young man in our church who was deathly ill. I couldn't find the original place where I posted the prayer requests, so I'm posting his mom's testimony here.

God’s touch on Brandon

MATTHEW 18:20
“For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them."

Over the summer of ’09 my 24yr old son, Brandon Howard, was working on a fishing tender Traci-C. It was a seasonal job that lasted 6 mos. The last 6 wks were spent in Wrangell, AK where the boat was being prepared for sale. Brandon was really looking forward to coming home to Sitka. While he was in Wrangell I attended our church special service with guest speaker District Youth Pastor to the Assembly of God, Mark Zweifel on September 19, 2009. Mark’s sermon was very powerful and during an alter call, fully willing to accept “The Word” from my seat; he said “…there is someone with family issues… There is someone willing to accept that this is just how it is, but I have a message for you…!” before I knew it I was 3 feet down the aisle going up to accept this- (Thinking that it had to do with my sisters and I.). Brandon and his father had not been in contact for almost a yr. Tony, his father, living in NC. During the prayer Mark said, “I don’t know you or anything about you, I know you have been willing to accept that this is just how it is, but don’t give up, GOD is not done working on your family...”
Three weeks later October 12, Tony called Brandon just as the tender was being put back in the water for its return to Sitka. Upon arrival to Sitka, there was unloading of the vessel to prepare it for timber runs and new crew.
On October 24, Brandon and I attended our church evening service. With arms open Brandon accepted prayer from one of the elders. By the 26th Brandon had gotten a small tickle in his throat, and a slight cough. This condition steadily worsened, and by Wed. he was being seen in clinic. Brandon was told that “otherwise healthy young men would not be receiving the H1N1 treatment of Tamiflu” Because of limited supply Tamiflu was being reserved for the young and old, or people with chronic conditions. Brandon’s condition improved slightly by Thursday, we had called clinic to tell them as instructed. By Friday, his fever had reached 105 degrees and cough was continual, he was now spitting up blood.
On Saturday, October 31, Brandon was in ER being admitted. Diagnosis- suspected Swine Flu, de-conditioning, it was discovered that he had Methicillin Sensitive Staphylococcus Aureus Pneumonia.
On Sunday November 1, all tests indicated condition worsening-
By Monday, November 2, he was being moved to ICU, x-rays and labs indicated continual worsening. Brandon was getting up to 7 x-rays a day. Later that evening the doctor talked to Brandon about putting him on a ventilator, (medically induced coma) “it would only be for 1-2 days…” to give his body a chance to rest while the antibiotics took hold as Brandon’s cough was continual. Brandon had texted his father but hadn’t gotten any response, as his father was at work. I had asked one of our church elders to come and bless Brandon before he was to go under. Ms Mae Dunsing arrived just in time before they put him out. That night the respiratory therapist on duty almost 24 hours by that time discovered Brandon’s pump malfunctioned. Brandon was being overdosed on Vancronium/paralytic for 2 1/2 hours.
November 3, the doctor on duty and I discussed Brandon’s overdose, and it was felt he would have no long term effects. She asked if there was anything she could do for us, I asked if she were a believer she said she was and that she would pray for him.
By November 4, my mother and I were in the critical care waiting room discussing Tony, and ways to try and reach him. Tony and I hadn’t talked in 6yrs and I had no way of reaching him. Brandon’s cell phone needed a PIN to access his contact list, and I didn’t have the PIN. I stopped to answer my cell phone and it was Tony (that was a God thing). At that time there was talk of medivac-ing Brandon to Alaska Native Medical Center, Anchorage but Brandon had made slight improvement. Within 2 hours I was calling Tony to tell him of the decision to go ahead with the medivac. Brandon would be leaving via air ambulance to Anchorage, flight time 1 hour 15 minutes. Weather forecast was storm approaching, high winds and rain. As the jet ascended the clouds parted.
When Brandon arrived the flight nurse reported that his left lung had collapsed. Extra staff had been called in for his arrival to the ICU. When my sister, Cindy, and I arrived via commercial flight 6 hours later, the only good news they could tell us was “he’s young”. I had contacted our friend Teri Lundy, a former intercessor with our church in Sitka, and currently a youth bible study teacher with the Alaska Native Assembly of God in Anchorage. At Midnight, before she arrived Teri text her youth to pray for Brandon. By 1:30AM when we were leaving Teri was coming down the hall, as I told her of Brandon’s condition, she said “NO, I am not done fighting for him!” Teri wanted to stay and pray. When we hugged, I immediately felt the Holy Spirit enter me; it was like a light switch. Words of Hope flowed from me, they were not my words I was hearing them for the first time. Everything changed for me at that moment. “This will all be for the Glory of God; we will not shine the light on the enemy…” As Cindy and I drove away to locate our hotel, with excitement I told her that I could “feel them praying for us!” I felt waves flow through me, over and over. At that moment, 2:02am I started receiving texts of scripture from Teri her youth had sent for me.
Psalm 28:1-21 To You I will cry, O LORD my Rock:
Do not be silent to me,
Lest, if You are silent to me,
I become like those who go down to the pit.
2 Hear the voice of my supplications
When I cry to You,
When I lift up my hands toward Your holy sanctuary.
Psalm 28 6-7 6 Blessed be the LORD,
Because He has heard the voice of my supplications!
7 The LORD is my strength and my shield;
My heart trusted in Him, and I am helped;
Therefore my heart greatly rejoices,
And with my song I will praise Him.
Teri had stayed until 4:30AM praying.
November 5, Brandon’s fever had reached 105 again, more equipment, more tests, more time needed to wait. Tony was due in at approximately midnight. At that point the doctor told me to pray Brandon’s condition to improve. So while I waited, I stood outside Brandon’s room praying for our Lord’s mercy on our son’s life. While I prayed, I received a vision of 3 Angels, and Jesus standing around Brandon. The Angels were scooping stuff out of Brandon’s chest. Jesus stood behind 2 of the Angels. This was a gift; I had never received vision before while praying.
For 3 days Tony talked while Brandon slept. Brandon’s fever still high, each x-ray a little worse. As they eased Brandon off sedation, he would not wake. The staff was concerned. On the 3rd day of almost no sedation Brandon’s eyes would flutter open. The 4th day he could say one word, “Angels…” Day 5, I asked Brandon what he was talking about before; he said he felt the whole time he was out he “was dreaming of Angels”. To me this was affirmation to my vision. We had been praying that “he would be made new” that “staff would call Brandon’s healing miraculous.”
Tony decided to stay with Brandon during the night and I would be there during the day so that Brandon would have someone there with him always. Brandon’s condition was improving. On November 12th they moved Brandon off ICU. By the 13th, Brandon was back in ICU and put back on the ventilator due to respiratory distress. Brandon had hospital acquired pneumonia. 5 days later on the 18th Brandon was removed from the ventilator. Teri said that she was going to pray that Tony would see that there was a clear battle going on for our son’s life. On the 21st while Tony slept he dreamt of warfare, he could ‘hear someone coughing while in the trenches”. From his daze he heard Brandon calling for the nurse, Brandon’s left lung collapsed again. We were told by Dr. Engelkin they didn’t know why Brandon wasn’t responding the way previous patients had. (Brandon was the14th case in 2 mo) The doctors had been talking to the CDC about Brandon’s condition. As Tony was leaving for the Hotel he said, “It’s like there’s a battle going on for our son’s life, a battle between good and evil…” Sunday 22nd our congregation called the ICU and prayed over the phone for Brandon, his father and I. The youth at Anchorage Native Assembly were still praying for us as well. Many, many people all over the country were praying, we were receiving scripture and prayer daily via cell. Brandon continued to improve.
For 10 days, 2 of his friends from Sitka had come up and waited in the waiting room for the time that they could see Brandon. Charles and EJ his buddies were there daily for up to 5 hours, just waiting. When on the 22nd they were finally able to see Brandon they were shocked Brandon had lost 40 lbs and was still hooked up to a lot of equipment. I told them this was Brandon looking good, that he was doing good.
Tuesday the 24th the doctors ordered a CATSCAN, it was discovered that Brandon had BLEBS on his lungs (essentially big blisters) another scan would be done in 4 days. At that time they would determine when surgery would be done to repair this condition. They wanted to give his lungs time to heal from the pneumonia. I contacted some of my church family to pray that “Brandon would not lose ground to the enemy anymore”, and we continued to pray he would be made new. By Friday 3 days had past, the doctor ordered another scan. Dr Farah Lovely wanted to talk to his father and I about the results. She pulled up Tuesday scan showing that both of Brandon’s lungs had collapsed on that Saturday, and then she compared Friday’s scan took a step back and said“…this is miraculous, look at all the improvements…!”
By the time Brandon was moved off the ICU, the staff was calling him the miracle boy. He had lived through 2 lung collapse, 1 where both lungs had collapsed at once, 3 different pneumonia, BLEBS, and an overdose. Brandon’s stay in Anchorage lasted 6 weeks, 5 weeks in the hospital. Only one week not in ICU. I was asked at one point why I think God was letting this happen, the answer, “ Brandon has always attracted people of all belief’s I think this will all be to the glory of God, his story will reach many people.”
Brandon was told many times in Anchorage that he would need to be on oxygen for at least 6 month to a yr and that he would have lifelong residual effects of this illness. When we arrived back in Sitka 12.13, Brandon did not have to travel with oxygen, this came to the amazement of the staff here in Sitka that cared for him. “….Brandon was going down and fast when he left here, and for him to not need oxygen now, that’s miraculous…”
Brandon’s doctor in Sitka told him the infection in his lungs was fleshing eating. He was diagnosed with MRSA of the lungs while in Anchorage. Brandon’s Sitka doctor talked with Dr. Engelkin, Engelkin said “to his knowledge Brandon was the worst case in Alaska to have survived”.
During this trauma “We” were carried; all our needs were met, when I couldn’t decide if I needed to sit down we were taken care of.
I knew, when people from Church were with me I felt calmness in my spirit and when Cindy and I were flying up, I dozed for about 10 min when I woke I felt I had received a message from God, Cindy asked what I heard “Now that you are quiet” I was frantic for 8 days, not sleeping pacing and worrying. Now I can look back and see so clearly that we were never alone…
People approach me still and ask about Brandon, I have said and continue to say, this was due to Prayer, Grace and Mercy. So many people had prayed, and were affected by this. The youth at the Alaska Native Assembly of God prayed for someone they didn’t know, many, many prayed for someone they didn’t know and it is through their efforts and God’s Grace and Mercy our son is with us.
Brandon has received a clean bill of health, Normal pulmonary function tests-

There is a God
Prayer is Powerful!

UPDATE: We got the house presentable. Meetings with social worker went well. We found out about additional support from social services we didn't know we could get. Social worker is still collecting info from various professionals involved with us as a family. At the moment our case is being dealt with as a "children/family in need" case. Social worker said the headteacher wants it to go to Child Protection because of concerns she has had about consistent lateness and the kids not being as clean as they could be. These things have been caused by the fact that I simply haven't been coping. I've just been diagnosed with depression, which I've probably had for a long time but which feels worse as a result of stress over the last few weeks/months.

2 other issues: (1) our eldest son's diet, which has been restricted for a long time due to food sensitivities. We are in the process of expanding his diet with the help of the same nutritional supplement his brother takes. Seeing paediatrician tomorrow. Difficult to expand ds's diet fast, as he is nervous about trying new foods, and needs to make changes gradually. Part of the reason we haven't already expanded it is that due to depression I've been in constant survival mode - getting the kids up, getting them to school, just getting from one part of the day to the next, and I've found it impossible to plan and be organised. I don't know what light they are going to see this in.

(2) Our younger two children are not vaccinated, as we believe vaccines contributed to our eldest son's autism. I'm concerned that they may see this as a Child Protection issue, and could even legally force us to vaccinate. The idea that vaccines contribute to autism is extremely controversial here in the UK at the moment, following the unjust discrediting of Dr Andrew Wakefield, who found evidence of a link between autism and the MMR vaccine in some cases (some of those involved in discrediting him are said to have a financial vested interest in the vaccine). I'm concerned about the effects on our children's health this could potentially have.

Apparently our younger son's headteacher got the impression from something I said over the phone that taking him to Accident and Emergency dept of the hospital (known here as "A&E" - not sure if you call it that in the USA) was just too much bother! I heard this second hand from the social worker, so I want to check that it's true. If it is, that was certainly NOT the case! The worst part about all this is that the headteacher is a Christian, and up till now we've been very impressed with her as a headteacher.

I'm fluctuating between feeling relatively ok and feeling as if a 20 ton truck just drove over me emotionally. I feel mentally exhausted. Doctor prescribed a pill, but I looked up ppl's experiences with it on the internet and it has Not Nice side effects and is hard to come off, so I'm looking at non-drug alternatives. Haven't yet told the dr I'm not going to take the stuff, I'd rather be able to go back and say "X is helping so I don't need the drugs" :-). She wants to see me again in 4 weeks. I would only take meds as a last resort.

Please keep praying, and thank you.
