golfjacks prayer request for his family has inspired me to request prayer for a group of people that I have been praying for over many years.

Those who have read very many of my posts, know that I grew up in the mob. I watched so many people being abused, and as a child I would try to lead them to the Lord. I suppose that at times I feel like I have given up on them.

However, the burden to pray for their salvation is still in my heart. Many of them grew up to be like their abusers. Most of them are physically or emotionally disabled. The things that were done to them as children is unspeakable. Watching them become like their abusers is heartbreaking.

Perhaps the corporate prayers of my brothers and sisters in Christ could bring a breakthrough. Pray for the salvation of these lost souls. Many of them in their 50's and 60's. Pray for the children and the children's children as well.

God bless.

Gabby, Add me to the prayer list. It is real hard for me to forgive someone who abuses children, but we are commanded to forgive. We can always hand those people over to Satan for correction.



May God bless, golfjack

I too will join you in prayer for these people.
 
Part of what the Lord is doing, in my prayers for these people, seems to be a sort of wilderness wandering.

I am not sure exactly how to describe this. They, and I, seem to be in a repeating cycle. Life seems to go around, then back, then start over again in some places. ( Have you ever seen the movie "Ground Hog Day"?)

Some of them keep making the same mistakes over and over. Others have been looking for a different way. I believe that in each cycle, God gains ground that was once given up by the church.

I had hoped that things were going to move forward for them, but we seem to be near the end of one cycle, and it may be that the God of a second chance is going to allow them one more chance to do it right. The word that has been given through me for many years is "Do it right, or do it over".

I had hoped...The word that came to me this morning in Second Timothy was endurance.

2Ti 2:10 Therefore I endure all things for the elect's sakes, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.
 
Almighty God, Creator of the Heavens and the earth,

I come before you in the name of my Lord and Saviour, your Son, Jesus Christ.

Again I pray again for these people, that I have brought before you over the years. I ask that you place a hedge around each of them that there could be no demonic activity in them. End all occult practices that was practiced against them as children. Break the chains that keep them under the control of the people that raised them. Destroy the wickedness that they practice against your blood bought children. End their desire to control and manipulate your children, as well as one another.

Hinder all of the witchcraft, break every curse, spell, hex, incantation and any form of voodoo, and any other such thing that might be attempting to work on them, in them through them or around them.

I ask Father that you would deal with any witch or satanist that has used or abused these people. Turn them from the path of wickedness that has been set before them, and hedge up their way as they turn toward the Cross of Jesus Christ.

Break every chain and every ungodly vow that has them bound to wickedness. Make yourself known to them in such a way that they can not deny the existence of God, and that they would come to saving knowledge of the Cross of Jesus Christ. Bring each and every one of them to Calvary in repentance, seeking forgiveness for their sin, and cleansing and healing for the unspeakable acts that have been performed against them.

Lord, I pray for any witch, satanist, or any other such person that sees this prayer request posted in the forum and sees it as an opportunity for satanic activity. I pray for their salvation as well. Let all forms of occult practices backfire in such a way that it always brings glory to the Lord Jesus Christ. Let every demonic attack sent out by such people be nothing more than a stepping stone toward becoming a Child of God.

The Lord Jesus Christ rebuke all demonic activity, that is either directed at these people or through these people. Let God arise, and let the enemies of the Cross be scattered. In the name of Jesus, I curse every wicked seed that has been planted in or through these people. Let them never grow, let
them never produce fruit. Anything that has been planted, by the power of the name of Jesus, let it be pulled up by the roots and cast into the fire.

Again Father, I pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Thank you for your love, your mercy, your justice, your righteousness and I thank you for everlasting life.

AMEN

Amen and Amen. We give You all the Honor and Glory.




May God bless, golfjack
 
I have been challenged, again, by those who would much rather defend the workers of iniquity, condemn justice and offer pity to the criminals. I suspect that the greatest injustice that they have ever faced ranks along side of having someone take a parking space from them.

I beg those who condemn God for being a God of justice and for creating hell as a place of eternal judgment to pray for the salvation of the rapist, murders, kidnappers pornographers, drug peddlers that you are so concerned about. You that condemn me for praying for justice, and those of you that can't stand the thought of wicked people in hell. Perhaps God will allow you to sit down with them face to face and you will have the opportunity to tell them that Jesus loves them and died for their sins.

I would love you folks too hook up with these poor lost souls that you are so worried over. If only you could meet them face to face you let them know how loving and compassionate you are and how you equate salvation status with that of new born babies, mentally retarded people and jungle natives. You could let them know how unfair you believe it is that I seek justice against them. You could let them know that you have totally forgiven them for what they have done to the women and children of this nation.

Of course, you probably don't know any of their victims by name. You are probably not on a first name basis with any of the rapist and murders. But your love and compassion for them is overwhelming. I am sure that they would love to meet you.

Perhaps you are Gods chosen to reach them for Jesus. I am praying that He will send you. Come. Join me on my mission field.
 
I am praising the Lord as more and more He reveals to me how people who grew up in the same situation that I did have turned to the Lord. Hallelujah

Father,
I pray for Your mercy, grace, and protection over those who have made decisions for Christ. I thank you Father that their sins are nailed to the cross and they are free.

I pray that You will continue to do a complete total deliverance in them. A work that nothing else but the power of the Holy Spirit can do. I pray for miracles of protection and providence. I am also asking that as those who once walked in darkness come into the Kingdom of God, that they are accepted by brothers and sisters in Christ. That the forgiveness and understanding that they need will be provided. I pray for discernment for all of those that have come through this terrible lifestyle, whether oppressor or victim. That as one by one victims and oppressors are coming to the cross, that we would all be made one in His name. I pray Father that you would bind us together as a powerful force against the enemy, whose goal is to destroy all people.

Father, I am asking that you expose the wolves in sheep's clothing, who would have us to believe that they have repented, but have not. I ask Lord that those who have truly repented would be blessed in every area of their life. I ask that as you pick them up, and welcome them into the Kingdom, that you give each one a Divine assignment as new soldiers in your army.

Almighty, Most Holy, God and Creator of all things, I thank you. I praise you. I exalt you. I give you glory!

Finally Lord, I ask that you would help me, and others who have walked the path that I have walked to accept our new brothers and sisters. That there would be no grudges. No unforgiveness. No fear. Continue to provide and protect as we now walk together in our service to you. Help us to work together in ways that exceed even the devils worst nightmares.

I pray these things in the wonderful name of my Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. May all of God's people say amen!

It just hit me!

I have believed that God, being the God of a second chance, has given these folks chance after chance to undo the wrongs that they have done. Once they begin to make right decisions, they would stop 'spinning in circles', and begin to move forward.

So many of them just keep going around and around. I am watching them do the same stupid things that they were doing twenty years ago, forty years ago. Laughing at the same foolish things that made them laugh half a century ago. They keep going back because they are filled with the fear of moving forward. I keep looking for ways to encourage them to do the right thing, while enduring this silly game. One step forward, two steps back. Many of them seem to be working themselves back into the 1950's and 60's.

I have been trying to figure out what is going on, and get God's perspective.
I finally heard what golfjack has been saying. "God wants to do a new thing".

So many of them have indeed come to realize the laws of reaping and sowing. Through going around and around they have discovered that they will harvest the things that they have planted. Maybe the harvest that has come in now is something that was planted decades ago. Lord, how do I show them how to uproot the crop? How do I teach them to curse the trees that they have planted, so that they wither and die? How do I encourage them to step off of their merry-go-round and see what the new thing is that can only come when they stop doing the same old things?

Gen 12:3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.

The eyes of many have been opened to truths such as this. They have discovered that when they curse God's people, that their curses come back on them. They have eaten of the bitter fruit of their harvests. Some of them have gotten so far as to realize the first part of the verse. God will bless them that bless thee. It doesn't say that they need to convert for that to happen. They have discovered the goodness of God will extend to the lost. Perhaps it is through this that God will bring them into His kingdom. Nevertheless, I am amazed with those who have seen that when they are good to God's people, that God shows them favor and yet continue to look for some loophole.

How much more simple can this be? It is as if they are stuck in a bad "I Love Lucy" rerun. Pray that God will show me how to encourage them to move forward. So often they make wrong decisions and end up reliving things over and over. God is wanting to do a new thing, but as Scripture says, He is not willing that any should perish but that all should come to redemption. In His mercy He has allowed them time to repent. Time for their eyes to be opened. He has allowed many of them to understand the causes and effects of the circumstances in their lives. How often I have heard them claim, even sarcastically, that God just did them a favor.

I pray that God gives them the boldness, the courage, and the wisdom to teach these things to their peers. God has so much in store for those who move forward. For these non-believers, it seems that it takes boldness and courage to cross over into the promised land. They don't seem to understand how they have become stagnant as their lives have gone through this season of reruns. I have noticed that for so many of them that each time that they go around, that they loose ground. They move back further and further. If going back to glean what was missed needs to take place before they can move forward, then so be it. I pray for God's perfect timing.

However; May the new thing that God seeks to do come to pass. I pray in Jesus name, and I give God all of the glory, honor and praise. Amen.
