Rabboni,
You teach us through our eyes as we read Scripture of all You have done according to the Father’s will. You teach us in our spirit as we see the supernatural works and wonders You perform that tells us You govern all things visible and invisible.
You teach us through Your words as we hear the commands we are to follow. You say “walk this way”, “come my beloved”, “Be still and know…”. Your sheep know Your voice. Help us respond in automatically loving, desiring obedience.
You cause us to yearn for more as we feed from Your hand. Blessed are those who…for they shall…
Lord, Cleanse our temples of strife, doubt, chaos, that the enemy may have no foothold in our thoughts, actions, physical well being, or our attention. Heal us from any worldly interference. Bring us into an enraptured understanding that lifts us above our troubles. Mute the bombardment of outer realm sin that flows from the princee of the air. We listen for You.
We adore all we know of YOU. Give us more.
Commit our prayers to the Throne of the Answering One Who is ,was, and is to come.
amen~ clean hands pure heart

Past Prayer Requests
Dorci- I have two different headaches, one of them every day, (for a little over 3 years) the other at least a few times a week. (for about 8 monhts) It’s very draining physically and emotionally. Sometimes I don’t even go to church on Wednesday nights because nights are when the headaches are the worst.
Dorci- I don’t want to have happen to others what has happened to me. I don’t know if anything will come of this, but I’m going to start praying and asking the Lord if there’s anything He would have me do to reach out to them. I’ve had a break from serving for a year and have recently started praying about what, if anything, the Lord would have me do next.
Shawn Sells- Keep Shawn in prayer for wisdom as he seeks to continue his ministry to those with mental illness in his church.
Anne- Hello Allan – I was very touched by your story as well as Shaun’s reporting of stepping out in faith to find a way to support those struggling.
I am currently in the darkest depths of depression I have yet experienced – can’t imagine things getting any darker. Bringing myself to even type an effort. But you were so kind to think of me that I did not want to leave you hanging without thanking you. May God grant me freedom from my depression and anxiety as He has so mercifully done to you – so much so that you can be a support and comfort to your mom and son.
I am feeling more and more like an inconvenience to everyone.
Pray for me.
Okie Preacher- Please keep Okie Preacher in your prayers. He has been diagnosed with mononucleosis.
Tomorrow, he will be seeing a heart Dr. He has been experiencing shortness of breath, dizziness, and nausea.
Allan- Three days ago Stephen and his girlfriend let us know there is a baby on the way. I was in shock initially and didn’t respond as I would have hoped. We are in a much better place and are supporting them as they move forward. Please pray that this child is born into the best environment possible.
I’m going to be a Grandfather! 
Okie Preacher- My wife and I have been going through some very difficult times since we left our last church pastorate. I would rather not go into detail at this time, although I may in the future.
There are many things that are currently distracting and many hurts from the past that need healing. I have been advised by a good friend to perhaps consider taking a sabbatical for a period of prayer and reflection, which I am inclined to do so at this time.
Please pray for us as we wait on God for healing, guidance, and direction.
Dorci- I would love it if people could pray that our son Eric would fall in love with Jesus and would follow Him with all his heart. Thank you.
miniErunner- Please pray for my best friend’s father. He was just diagnosed with throat cancer and will be starting intense chemo within the next few weeks. Please also pray for his wife and 2 daughters. Pray that they will stay strong through all of this. Update – Surgery was done and his voice box was removed. He will now undergo further treatment.
Set Free- Please keep us in prayer we are in need of a place to worship. Things have taken place where we share a building and I believe they are looking for ways so that we can move from there. I know it has to be God who opens the doors to where he wants us to be. I also know that the enemy does not like the progress we have made in spreading the Gospel. Thanks again!
Cash- Hello, friends. May I ask you to pray for me and my family. I just lost my job on Tuesday. It was a good job with really good benefits, so we’re job searching now.
Dorci- I have some weird issues with my lower legs, swelling, pain, etc. They’ve done ultrasounds but haven’t found anything.
Dusty- Continued prayer for deep depression.
Rachel- Continued prayer as she struggles with bi-polar disorder.
Past Praise Reports
Allan- The biopsy I had came back negative.
Susan- Allan – I wanted to take this time to express my appreciation to you and your prayer partners in keeping my husband in prayer. This Tuesday is another exciting day for us they will remove the catheter from his chest where he was hooked up for the dialysis treatment. I learned that only 6% make it off of dialysis so with that in mind I know that it was a miracle of God and the prayers of Gods people that he made it to where he is at now. I only share this so that others can have hope that God is on the throne and we don’t always understand his ways which are not our ways. I believe our work is not done here in our ministry and only God knows why he brought healing to my husband. All I know is that I’m so grateful for the opportunity to continue on for the work of God’s Kingdom & to serve God’s people. I’m also happy to hear the news of your Son Steven & your Mother. We will continue to keep everyone in our prayers. Thanks Allan to you and my beautiful Sister.
Love Always,
Susan (Your Favorite Sister In Law)
Allan- My mother’s surgery was successful. She was without pain and walking the following day.
