Will you war with me against our enemy?

I'm praying for you and your family right now Gahenna. Sending much love to you and your family.

Gehanna, I will lift your burdens up in prayer.
I too have been enduring deep struggles in my personal and family life. And I hear similar laments from many, many others. In fact, I'm astounded these days by the anguish felt amongst God's children. Everywhere I turn I see a brother or sister crying out. Physical, emotional, and spiritual afflictions seem to be near epidemic. I don't know if it's a sign of the end times, or a product of the sinful nature of man in a world whose population is busting at the seams, or both.
I just know we are all either hurting, or supporting others who are.
I think it's crucial during this time that we (as in the world-wide community of God's children) reach out to each other. We are Family, and have been placed in each other's lives to lift up and support, to guide and comfort. The more we come together to do this, the more strength we will have. It's our holy mission.
If it truly is a product of the end times, no matter how long that may take to come to pass, then this is only the beginning, and our challenges will increase. We must keep our hearts turned towards God and allow His will to work in our lives. We need to lift each other up and even carry one another, if needed. Even the strongest amongst us are suffering, and need to surrender their need to others and allow the work of the Divine to permeate their lives.
I want to encourage all who believe to continually lift each other up in prayer-as individuals, and as a whole. We need each other now and we need to draw on the strength and promise that has brought us all under the same God.
Thank you Gehanna, for the courage to post this.

Praying for you and yours.

Gehanna,

Your family is being lifted before the Lord and being bathed in prayer.

Gehanna, I also have a 15-year old daughter, (and an elderly dad), and my heart goes out to you for what you must be dealing with. I will certainly pray for you--and for your family! Prayer and God's Word are part of our spiritual armor (Ephesians 6). Grace and peace to you and your family.

You'll certainly be in my thoughts.

We've been touched by similar attacks, Gehanna. Praying for you right now. (Rev. 2:10)

It is this kind of time that makes us send down our roots deep and learn to depend on God's strength instead of our own. I've been there, so long and so intensely it is still difficult to talk about it. Joseph doubtless felt this way in prison, waiting for the faithless cupbearer to remember him, remembering the betrayal by his brothers, the false accusation of Potiphar's wife... But his story wasn't over.

Hang in there. Your story isn't over.

A thought: imagine going through this without the Lord.

I am praying too.

I also said a prayer for you and your family. You will come through the fire not only intact but victorious through Christ who is strengthening you even as we speak.

That's wonderful to hear! Thanks for the update! I think that when our prayers for others are answered it does our faith good, too.

I am in the midst of a relentless war and I am growing weary. My fortitude is falling apart. There are many adversarial forces here and they are strategically attacking my family.

These are among the evils which my family has recently suffered:

• My 15 year old daughter has been the victim of a 24 year old male predator. Depression is attempting to dominate her life as she struggles to heal from all that has and is going on. This predator came into contact with my daughter by means of the telephone as opposed to the internet. Law enforcement continues to collect evidence that will be presented to the Grand Jury. I am unable to give any more detail right now because the pain it causes me is great.
• On Wednesday, my father was hospitalized for cardiac complications. The heart problems are evident however, the cardiologist can not figure out what is causing them. The remedy required in this case is the healing power of Jesus. Please pray and ask The Greatest Healer who Is, Was and Always Will Be to restore my father's health.
• My family and I are facing a number of other evil circumstances. They have sprung forth from one another. It is more than we can handle on our own. Will you take a moment to engage in this war with us?

Please help by making a prayerful petition to our Almighty Father in the name of Jesus that His Holy Spirit would strengthen us. Furthermore, if it be His Will, that He would intervene to end this evil.

I'm mad at hell and I'm not going to take this anymore! I'm calling upon my Christian family to take a stand with me! If you also have need of divine intervention, make it known and I will pray for you.

Sincerely,
Gehanna

Our Father, almighty God, we praise You for Your mercy and faithfulness. In Your hands we rest our souls, content and confident in Your saving grace. And it is in this spirit that we seek Your face, oh Lord, on behalf of Your servant, Gehanna. You have place many trials before her, and in this hour she brings her groaning before Your people... Your holy temple. Oh Father, bring comfort to your faithful child this hour. We ask for strength of both body and spirit, to see before us Your victory over all who would strive to break down Your children. Lord, we ask for your healing upon the hearts of her family, that her daughter will be strengthed by the wings of Your grace. And may this man who has dared strike against Your sheep be brought low for his wickedness. Use this, we pray, to turn his heart from stone to flesh, that through the patient love and faithfullness of Gehanna and her family he would see the love and salvation of our lord and Savior, who is Christ Jesus. Strengthen Her father's heart, oh Father, and bring your healing to Him, just as you strengthen her family to conquer all evils that would seek to strike at her faith and love. For You are an awesome God, working wonders and miracles. There is nothing beyond You, nothing to hard for You. Teach us through these trials to trust You and love You, and guide all of us, Your humble sheep, to grow in the faith of Your purpose. For we pray these things and seek the forgiveness of our sins in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall reign with power, glory and majesty forever, amen.

Of course, Gehanna. I am glad you asked. You have always been there for me.
May mercy, strength and grace hold you like a mighty blanket while He battles for you. ((hugs))

Praise God! I'm very happy for your family, Gehenna. To God be the glory!

I have good news to share! The prayers are working! I am sitting here in awe of what is taking place. When I made this post, I had the Faith of a mustard seed. That small remnant of Faith was just enough to keep me believing that our prayers would be answered.

I can tell you, with much restored Hope, that my mustard seed Faith has now taken root and sprouted to! When my daughter came home from school today, she was smiling! Her mood has improved considerably. In addition, my father has been discharged from the hospital. He is home and doing well.

Mere coincidence? I think not! Evidence of Amazing Intervention is what this is.

Thank you all for your willingness to war with me in prayer. Now in gratitude, I will pray that all of you will be blessed to.

Very Sincerely,
Gehanna

Thank you for the blessing of being able to share in your struggle. God is s-o faithful. Persevere; He never gives tomorrow's grace today. How exciting to hear of your victories. Take strength in them and and use them to prepare for further attacks. Satan rarely gives up that easily.

Gehanna,
Take heart.

Praying for you and your family, Gehanna.

Thank you Daddy.

Gehanna, I pray that your journey continues to become more bearable as we continue to support you spiritually through prayer.

So glad to hear it. God is good.

Soon, I will see this man face to face. I worry about which one of us will be most void of conscience that day.

So glad to hear that justice is in progress-I pray that you will be strong. Free will gives us a choice-act on our own feelings, or allow the Holy Spirit to prevail. Your faith has been an encouragement for me, and I will continue to lift you up as you face these trials.
