Blow The Trumpets Of Zion

I've had the people devastated by an earth quake in Haiti and Chili in my prayers today and as I've been praying the Holy Spirit has put a vivid image in my heart and mind. We had a heavy hearted prayer intercessory Friday night and prayed fervently and cried out for revelation and for our nation to come back to righteous living, a revival for our hearts to turn back to God. Our Pastor, Jerry Nelson cried a heart breaking cry for Christ's church body. The darkness in this world surrounds us, and we need more than ever to come together in one spirit and pray for anointing, and empowerment to finish Christ's work. The church is changing before our very eyes. We discernment more than ever.

I was meditating today on what Jesus said about John the Baptist. He said, "I tell you that Elijah has already come. John prepared the way for Christ. That Elijah spirit is heavy on us. It's not about shouting and receiving our blessings. It's about us teachers and ministers preparing the way for the great meeting in the air when he will snatch us up in the twinkling of an eye. Jesus' prophecy of the end time is at your door. He's standing outside his church knocking to come in.

Pray today for our churches to unit in the spirit of Elijah. Let our hearts become overwhelmed for Him. Let us build an altar and lay our worldly mess on it. It's dark, as dark as pitch black, people can not see the light. Pray for righteousness and coming back into covenant so our flames will be bright enough for the lost world to see. Pray for a fresh anointing and strengthening to finish the race. We're almost home church, don't grow weary of nay sayers, persecutions, and sin among us, but let our love for Him overwhelm us so we run our last mile home.

In the Jewish wedding, the groomsmen blow the trumpet and run through the streets shouting, "the groom is coming, wake up, the groom is almost at your door, get the bride adorned. Let us get faithful again, let us stay fresh with fine linen and precious jewels, with our oil lamps full. The Groom is coming for that unblemished bride. The earth is groaning with labor pains for the hour has come to fulfill His promise to us.

Praise Report: Trey Williams: Trey is a young man in his early twenties that works at Sandoz that hasn't had the Lord on his mind the last 5 years. He came to my husband last week and asked him to ask me what kind of bible to buy, he wanted to start reading the bible. He began to tell my husband a miracle story of how his grandmother came out of a semi-comatose state last week. He said she used to take him to Sunday School growing up and prayed for him. Trey's mother and an aunt never stopped praying for their mother, and she just became focused and began talking last week. She couldn't talk, walk or feed herself for five years. Not only did a miracle occur through this praying but the grandson has been led back to Christ as a result. Praise God! We have miracles and healings in our midst, we need to use our spiritual eye to see them and praise Jesus for His manifestations.

Praise Report: James Selvedge: James is another miracle story. He's in his eighties and about two weeks ago he fell ill and had to go into the hospital. The doctor's called the family in and told them that they did not expect him to survive. His breathing and heart was stopping. Pastor Jerry Nelson went to pray for a healing over him. Pastor Nelson said he looked like he was about to go. Well, a couple of days later he woke up and started talking and said he was ready to go home. His son Blue just was overjoyed with this miracle from God. The doctors were like, whats really going on here. Well, we have another doctor in our midst and His name is doctor JESUS!

Prayer Request: Carlos Tyndal: Carlos is at Duke Hospital and has been diagnosed with Guillain-Barre'. That is a disease and causes infection through the body and disturbs the neurological functions that shut down the muscular system which affects the breathing. This disease has to be treated in the hospital and the patient does recover but it lengthy and they are very sick. Please pray for God to speedily heal him and to take care of his family financially as they go through this difficult time. Carlos's wife is a secretary at Wilson Praise and Worship Center and Carlos is a good Christian friend to my husband and a coworker who has lifted him up in the Lord at different times, and now I pray for everyone to lift him up.

Prayer Request from Jennifer McKeithan for Dr. David Richardson who is at Southeastern Regional Medical Center battling with Parkinsons disease. Pray for the Lord to strengthen his nervous system and heal him.

Prayer Request: Rhonda Rankin: She has pulled a muscle in her back. God healed me last week of an injured knee and if he can heal me Rhonda, he will heal you, in Jesus name!

Prayer Request from Lisa Hunter: Lisa has a friend whose husband was killed a couple of weeks ago. He was a deputy sheriff in Henry county and was shot to death. Lisa's friend is going through the worst kind of crisis and they have two young teenage children. Pray for this family that Jesus' spirit will be with them and walk with them through this valley of the shadow of death, and pray for resolution to come with forgiveness and strength to live again without their father. Pray for God to bless this family financially with the loss of the husband and provider. Oh, our hearts go out to them with much prayer and love, and support. We pray for Henry County Sheriff's department in their time of grief and loss of one their own. Evil does touch our lives and when it does the love of Christians is needed more than ever. Pray for all of our law enforcement for God to put a hedge around them as they battle evil through crime everyday.

Prayer Request: Earl Flores: healing

A Season For Renewing Life

Sometimes light comes just before the dawn. It seems dark in that hour, and that is when we hold onto our faith and promises more than ever. That is the time we need to lift our voices to the Lord again and again. What we refuse to give up on we will see manifestation from.

We have been through a hard season of sacrifice, praying and fasting. We have planted a lot of seed for others at the Altar and have come into agreement. We are in the rest now, and my brothers and sisters, the season of life renewal is in the air. We have let the seed go and I'm full of faith and expectation that those seed are about to sprout and multiply of their own kind.

As God moves on the people's lives we have prayed for, we will tell of His mercy, grace, miracles and healing power.

Praise Report: Steve Saunders: Steve went into a coma from an unexpected illness. After much prayer for him and doctors not having a very good report, he suddenly came out of the coma. Not only was he awake, but he knew his children when they came to see him that night. We praise you Lord for that miracle healing and we magnify you for your Glory that we got to witness through Steve.

Praise Report: Keith Hobgood: Keith had an infection from lung surgery that went to his brain. Doctor's say only 30% of patients like Keith survive. Keith lost his normal speech and was beginning to affect his thinking process. He was given long term antibiotics. Keith did survive and there was lots of prayer for him as he is a single parent of two young boys and they needed their father to help them grow up. You know, God cares about the details of our lives, and He will move on them when we take our concerns to Him. I praise God that Keith received his healing and he is with us today to tell of God's healing power.

Praise Report: Mike and Laurie: Now this miracle right here is going to fill you with hope in this poor economic times. Mike has a heart condition that went bad a few months ago when doctors mixed a medication on top of Cummidun he takes regularly. His wife laurie, also had to have a hysterectomy two months ago. They both have healed from their physical problems but were left strapped financially. Laurie works at the bank and Mike had been trying to finish up a teaching degree. Well, when they went to pay hospital bills, her insurance covered most of it, but she got to looking at a policy they had from sometime back. She called the company and asked them if she could file against that policy. They told her yes. She just received a $22, 000 dollar check in the mail. She thought the policy had lapsed. Mike received his degree last month and is now been hired by the community college to teach. When you don't know where something is coming from or think it is impossible, that is when God will reach down and fill your barns with a blessing so big that you know it could have only come from HIM. Well, Glory!

Praise Report: Baby Hogan: Hogan is a baby doctors have said most likely would not be a live birth. He has a whole in his heart and he has a rare condition that prevents him from growing. The doctors have had to back down on a couple things concerning Hogan. To their surprise he is growing in the womb. Now they are telling the parents to expect a live birth and probably will take him home. I wanted to jump up and down when I heard this report of Hogan. You see, the natural has to back down to the supernatural. Everybody, please keep speaking life over Hogan, he is going to be a passover birth, and he will defy more doctor's reports. Also, pray for his mother. She has a thyroid condition that was found during early pregnancy and can not be treated until after Hogan's birth. Please pray for her complete healing as well. She is a very special woman of God.

Herbie Ellis Family: We were praying for Herbie's healing of cancer that was inoperable, and two days later he passed. His son, Kyle said, he got his healing, he is with the healer now. I keep thinking of the perfect health he is in now. This has affected Kyle's life greatly. He and his wife are a young married couple with two small children and they have given their lives to Christ and are faithful in their walk. Pray for them that God will strengthen their minds in him and they will have a Christ filled marriage covenant. I pray for more young couple like them to come back into the church.

Praise Report: Edna Pearson: Edna was experiencing some weak episodes and she went to the doctor and they set her up for a stress test to see if maybe she had some heart issues. Well praise God, she passed that stress test with flying colors. Sometimes we hear something from a doctor and we just know that is not what is in our faith or our inheritance promises and know that you can defy what may look like one thing in the natural, but God's word says it's another.

Debra Collins: Sometimes stresses can come down on us so badly that we know we can't get through them without God's strength. When pressures come at you from many different angles, know that God has already gone before you, and we can have the strength to get through them when we rest in HIM. Debra is my sister in law and I love her very much, and I know God is about to do a wonderful thing in her life this season. She lost her husband not long ago, and she has a sister that is going through a hard time, but God has already made a way for both of them. Melissa is going to walk into a newness as well. I speak that truth over both of them today, because God says it's so! Melissa went through knee surgery two weeks ago and she is doing well, She had an infection that had set in her knee, so they had to take out her knee replacement and get the infection out and she will be getting a new knee in a few weeks. I lift them both up to the Lord and I pray God's healing, strength and blessings on both of them.

Donna Pate: Donna has a thyroid condition that is just beginning to be treated. Pray for her as doctors decide the medication and treatment for her.

Wayne West and James Selvidge: These two men are prisoners in North Carolina prison system that we continue to pray for. They both have given their lives to Christ while incarcerated and have some good solid plans to serve him when released. Continue to pray for their release and for God to use them as powerful witnesses for Him.

MOUNTAIN MOVING PRAYER

   I was reminded today by a friend in Florida, Vicki Neely, of something Pastor John Bevere preached at her church; that trials are stepping stones for God to draw us closer to our destiny and assignment the Lord will establish by his word as we travel in our journey in this earth for the purpose of declaring Him and drawing ever near to Him. We all should desire to experience the communion in his presence as he comes to us in the cool of the evening and dwells with us, to tabernacle with us through His son, Jesus, our High Priest.

   Yet we kick, and feel depressed, feel hopeless and burdened when we are faced with tests and trials. Know that it is God's way of perfecting us so we can reflect Him in us, perseverance and relying on His strength and not our own is what we are to desire and put into practice. Paul tells us to count it all joy when these things come, because the perfecting of us. His righteousness is the goal and no one promises that it is an easy journey to allow ourselves to be consecrated unto him. When we have emptied ourselves for him to fill us, he promises fullness in Him, and abundant life, and a joyful, peaceful rest in him that I race forward to in eagerness to obtain.

   It has been a journey, with a deepened experience of his power and love this past week in the first week of fasting and staying in constant prayer for others and soaking in his word and learning anew the benefits of His Kingdom that He died to give to us. So many prayer requests and needs have come before us. I know in my heart as I pray for each person on this prayer list that their circumstance could be mine and some of them have been mine and I take that responsibility of love with a diligent zeal in lifting my voice in prayer and petitioning, and intercessing with a loud cry from my belly, receiving what Jesus says I have and you have, and proclaiming healing, deliverance and miracles for each of your lives.

   Please pray with me for each of these prayer requests because God is going to open many doors with the people on this list, and many of the prayer needs here could not be answered without faith in prayer and fasting. I rejoice and gladly become a living sacrifice for deliverence, healing and renewed lives through Jesus Christ our Lord, the same healing, deliverance and newness he gave me in his grace and great mercy. I pray now that the far reaching love, without boundaries or limitations, will touch each and everyone on this list. I thank you now my Lord for answering these prayers, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. This healing power is open to you today and during the rest of this prayer intercessory time and fast, so if you have a need of healing or deliverance now is the time to bring it to the Lord. Giving, prayer, and fasting is a three fold powerful process that opens the heavens on your behalf because as John 3:16 simply puts it, for he gave His only begotten son that whosoever shall believe in him will not perish but have everlasting life. If you've got only a grain of faith the size of a mustard seed, then ask and you shall have whatever you ask of him in his precious NAME, the name above all names in this world and the worlds to come.

Jesus died for us so we could be empowered to call things that are not as though they are and we will see manifestation!

BELIEVERS MINISTRY PRAYER LINE

Good morning my friends! I had a great holiday break and spent much time in personal prayer of where the Lord wants to lead me as the educator of Believers Ministry, Inc. Later this week I will do a newsletter to inform everyone of all that Believers Ministry will be doing this year. I can tell you now that my spirit is filled with the work of prayer intercessory. I am very excited about connecting to everyone again and connecting to new friends and lifting everyone up in the Lord.

On January the 10th I will be beginning a 21 day Daniel fast for the purpose of moving mountains in YOUR life. There are certain mountains that require fasting in order to be pulled down. One that is foremost in my spirit is addictions and strongholds on the mind. So, if you have one of these oppressing you or a family member or loved one please get their name on the prayer list before the 10th. Faith in the power of Christ is going to move it for you in this new season.

Fasting is an element of three foundations Jesus commands us to do in our prayer life, yet churches rarely join together to do this powerful act that results in miracles, healings and the casting down of strongholds. To be an effective prayer warrior, you will encounter battles for others that will require fasting. Matthew 17:21. It requires consecrating yourself to the Lord for the benefit of others. Prolonged fasting looses the chains of injustice, breaks yokes and sets the oppressed free. When we obey God's commands, pray and fast, he says in Isaiah 58:8, then your light will break forth like the dawn, and your healing will quickly appear, then your righteousness will go before you and the glory of the Lord will be your rear guard, then you will call and the Lord will answer when you satisfy the needs of the oppressed and hungry. He will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden and will raise up the age-old foundations, and you will be a repairer of Broken Walls.

How many of you would like for the Lord to be your rear guard this year! I know I sure do!

That's how powerful prayer and fasting and living according to the word is. Sometimes we get lazy about doing what the word tells us we need to do to get our breakthroughs, but I believe as more and more of us get back to the basics of Jesus' teachings we will see God move in a mighty way in our lives. My love for each and every one of you and desire to see you and your loved ones free from oppressions wells up in my spirit like a spring flooding from the depths of my soul. I have faith that God wants to move on our lives this year and I'm ready and bursting to turn that faith into substance with fasting and prayer! Prayer warriors get ready for a year of VICTORY!

My prayers for each and every one of you are taken from the mouth of the Apostle Paul, and I hope you read them with knowledge in your hearts and minds of how very much Christ loves you and is there to meet those very real needs.

Ephesians 1:16-23, The Lord has given you the spirit of wisdom and revelation of Jesus Christ. I Thank Him that the eyes of your understanding are being enlightened to know the hope of your calling and the riches of the glory of His inheritance to you. I thank him for revealing to you the exceeding greatness of His Power, which was wrought in Christ, when He was raised from the dead and set at God's own right hand. Know that the riches of heaven are yours!

Ephesians 3:14-20, I pray God will grant you according to the riches of His glory to be strengthened with might your Spirit in your inner man. That Christ may dwell in your heart by faith; and being rooted and grounded in love that you may be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth and length and depth and height; and to know the love of Christ which passeth knowledge, that you might be filled with all the fullness of God. The Lord is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that you ask or think, according to the power that worketh in you.

Colossians 1:9-11, I pray that You will be filled with him with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; that you might walk worthy of Him, be all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing knowledge, to be strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with JOY!

Prayer Requests:

Michael Lassiter; to overcome an addiction

Chris Baxley; to overcome an addiction

Janet Taylor; infection in facial tissue

Eddie Rapor: pray for his return to the church after leaving years ago after a child's death.

Jimmy Hews; broken marriage

Jimmy Garris; broken marriage

BELIEVERS MINISTRY PRAYER LINE

I awakened this morning with a prayer on my lips for the people on today's prayer line, "Lord, just give me the faith to believe in YOUR FAITH as I bring these petitions before your altar tonight." I remembered a verse in Psalm 107:20 that someone had said, you know a rehma word from someone that comes back to mind when you need it. That verse says, "and He sent forth His Word and healed them."

In Ephesians3:12 Paul said, "In Him and through faith in Him we may approach God with freedom and confidence. I ask you therefore, not to be discouraged because of my sufferings for you, which are your glory."

I believe that word today, and the word says the fervent prayer of the righteous availeth much! I want everyone on this prayer list today to know that I will make the declarations His word says about your affliction and circumstance. That uplifted spoken word is what availeth much, for whatever is released on earth will be released in heaven and his word NEVER comes back void. Be ye healed in the name of Jesus and may he comfort you in your time of need for he knows and he sees what each and every one of you are going through.

Prayer Request: Todd and O'dea Kissel

Todd and O'dea's son, Dustin Kissel was killed in a car crash Monday. He was a high school student in Wilson North Carolina. Please pray for this family in their time of great loss. No one could ever know what the death of a child takes from your life. I pray for the Kissel's to allow the Lord to walk through this valley with them, and yes He will carry you through it and comfort you in this long journey and I know He has Dustin in his care now! The Kissel's address is 5314 Akron Road, Wilson, NC 27893 if anyone would like to send them a card or a word of comfort. Let us also pray for the children at his school and who are hurting this week over the loss of their friend and classmate. It's harder I think for young people to have closure and understanding and our prayer today is for the Lord to put people their for them to help them in their grief for Dustin.

Prayer Request: Phillip Ray Baxley

Phillip has diabetes and suffers greatly from this, his doctors are concerned that he may have to have a leg amputated if they can't get the diabetes stabalized. Today, I serve a mighty God that can heal Phillip because what doctors say is not what God says about this condition with Phillip and I declare God's word over the affliction on his body today.

Prayer Request: Melissa Mincey

Melissa is my sister in law and she had to go to the doctor this week as she got up one morning and couldn't walk. She went and had some tests which indicates an infection in her knee. Her knee was very tight and the doctor couldn't withdraw any fluid to test, but xrays indicate an infection. So, not knowing what kind of infection she is dealing with they couldn't give her an antibiotic until this coming week when they can be more conclusive. Now Melissa is going to be at my house for a birthday dinner Sunday evening and her knee is healed as I speak this over her. She is going to go back to the doctor next week and they are going to learn, there is no infection! I'm going to go ahead and thank Him tonight at prayer intercessory for that healing, In the name of Jesus!

Prayer Request: Candice Halpin

Hey Donna, Richard Brooks and I go to church with a man who is battling for his life right now and we need to cover him in prayer. Please pass this on as soon as possible. He had an accident when he was a boy and only has part of one leg. Recently he has been experiencing problems with his Galbladder. Then all of a sudden they have diagnosed him with pancreitis and his kidneys are shutting down and he is on dyalysis. The other scary part is he developed a blood clot in his leg and from what I understand they have to amputate his leg so it doesn't go to his brain. I am not sure at this point if it was the leg that was already a partial leg or if it is his other leg. He needs to be covered in prayer now. Please be so kind as to share this with your prayer team. His name is Steve and his wife is Elisa, and they have a daughter about six years old. Please see Richard's request below. Thank you and may God richly bless you. Candice

Richard Brooks: Sorry both of us out, but there is lots of family helping. Prayers needed for blood clot in leg to stay stable, or be gone and not go to brain! Kidneys to function and be restored. Isaiah 53. Would you get this to Believers Ministry prayer team? Thanks Richard

Candice and Richard, know that I will be pray fervently tonight for Steve and for his family.

Prayer Request: Ariel Dagastino:

A teenagers plea:

Believers Ministry, I really need some prayers for my Mom and my family. My Mom has had a heart attack and she is in the hospital and they are saying she may need surgery but we won't know until some tests are completed in a few days. (may know by Monday). All of this has been scary for all of us and I just hope and pray my Mom comes through all of this with flying colors. My Mom means the world to me and I need her still here with me.

Ariel, I want you to know that you have people who will lift your Mom up today for healing and the many voices that are put with your heart felt love and asking God to help her will be put before the altar in heaven where Jesus sits and intercedes for us with his mighty power and love. A heart for heart for you today Ariel.

Baby Hogan:

Today while Hogan is still in his Mother's womb he is forming in God's perfect will. He is another week closer to that perfection God is creating in the secret place, a child whose destiny is to be great for the glory of the Lord.

Hogan is the baby that doctors say will not live and due to be born the first of April. He is our miracle baby and he shall live and defy all odds the world has already placed on him, but my God has says something else about him and his birth will shock the medical doctors. In Jesus Name!

Donna Braman

   Good morning to my friends of Believers Ministry Prayer Line. I hope everyone had a blessed holiday. When I look at all the prayer requests I realize not everyone is having a joyous season. There are so many afflictions and illnesses that need to be lifted up to the Lord by voices of believers. The bible tells us to love one another as ourselves. I pray today that as you pray for these requests, your zeal will be as if it was one of your own family members. For those of you who pray over these requests with Believers Ministry, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for being faithful servants. For the people who entrust me with their prayer needs, I want you to know my heart cries out to the Lord for each and every one of you! Praying for your needs is more important than praying for my own needs. I find that as I spend hours praying for others that somehow my own needs are miraculously met.

Special Prayer Request: Baby Hogan
   This request came in from Pastor Clint Harris and he writes:
"I heard from a very dear friend and brother in Christ today. He and his precious wife are expecting a son in April. They have received some test results back today that are very discouraging. The doctors say the child might not survive to full term and if so may only live a few weeks. My heart broke when I learned this news and I can only imagine the hurt they are feeling.
   With all due respect to the physicians, we are convinced that God can touch this baby and that he can be born whole, healthy and happy.
   The word says the fervent effectual prayers of the righteous man availeth much! So I am asking every member of Believers Ministry to lift this little child up to the Lord even now as he is being formed in the secret place of his mother's womb. Believe that our God is able and ask Him to heal this child of promise. Pray a special touch for his mother and father, give them peace and comfort during this trying time. Pray that God speaks to them both in His own way to reassure them. Present this request to your members, to church groups, bible studys, friends and family.
   I am believing for a thousand people all around to lift up baby Hogan to the Lord daily. Call his name out to the Lord. Put him on your daily prayer list.
   I am believing that this tragic situation that the enemy has meant for these people to be evil is going to be turned completely around and give God the glory. With God all things are possible, Amen.
   Thank you family of God for your prayers on this matter."

   When I got this prayer request, baby Hogan pulled at my spirit, and I have been unable to stop praying for him. After these days of the Thanksgiving holiday and praying for him each day, I realized that baby Hogan is going to be a very special miracle. He is due to be born around the first of April, which is Passover. He is also a first fruit. Now these two facts about him tells me that, death WILL pass him by. Hogan's birth is planned in a blessed and Holy prepared season of God. God has quite a bit to say in His word concerning Hogan. So I ask each and everyone of you to speak God's season of life and renewal over Hogan. In the winter season, life is dormant, waiting for it's appointed time to spring forth it's life and light. This is a 2009 year which means in God's calender goes through the Passover season, and the number 9 means new beginnings. I speak that life and word over Hogan because IT IS SO! When we speak God's words back to him they do not return void, but manifest those promises to us, so Hogan is a promised child already by the word! We need only to speak what God has for him.

Prayer Request: Manda
   This request is from Peggy Newbold. She asks prayer for her daughter, Manda, who is 26 and a mother of a six year old. She has phenomena. Please pray for her. I pray Psalm 91 over her today!

Prayer Request: Lucy Pence
   "Please pray for my family for Restoration. My husband has ruined Thanksgiving before it even started all because of his hate toward certain people!"
   You know, if you have a loving family be grateful, because not all families are a loving unit. We need to pray for families in our community and in our churches for the Lord to put a shield around their dwelling because the devil loves nothing more than to cause discord and division in the covenant marriage! I thank God everyday for the blood on my door. We have to be very aware of the spirits we allow in our homes. Take that anointing oil and sprinkle your home Lucy, daily if necessary and tell the devil whose home it is and who protects it. My bible tells me that the blood covering wins out, Satan lost when Jesus went to the depths of the earth and took the key of death. Take that key that Jesus gave you and unlock the treasures of heaven concerning your home and family! Tell the devil whose domain it is and that he has to leave!

Prayer Request: Angela Greene, unspoken request!
   Don't forget those unspoken requests because sometimes they get neglected but are very real needs! I love you Angela, and you are in my prayers today! I pray for covering over your marriage, your work, your beautiful little girls, and where we must go in life's troubles, he is always there with us to strengthen us and guide us.

Prayer Update; Jason Dufour
   This update comes from Jason's wife Suzie. Jason was in a motorcycle accident 5 months ago that left him paralized from the waist down. "I know a lot of people have asked for an update on Jason's progress and well, I'm a slacker sometimes. After much reflection on this wonderful day of family getting together to enjoy each other and too much food, I figured I should tell everyone how thankful I am and how much progress Jason has made. In one week, it will be 6 months since Jason's accident. Six months since I sat in the NICU waiting room wondering whether I was going to lose him or not. Wondering how he would be able to get around. How he was going to deal with all this. How he was going to be a mechanic again. How we were going to walk together holding hands. In 6 months he has gone from not being able to move without everything hurting, to getting in and out of the car by himself from his wheel chair. We have started working on rearranging the work shop so he can get back to his tractors. And we have met a wonderful group of support other than our great family and friends. At Wake Med outpatient rehab there are several people with spinal cord injuries that have been a wealth of information and just great people to be around. There has been several events put together by the NCSCIA that have been great, especially the hand cycle clinic. The bikes are very low to the ground and powered by your upper body and an unbelievable workout. Everything has not been roses. He has had a lot of stomach issues which has slowed progress down some but all in all we can't complain. And there are some days that are much worse than others (emotionally) but together with every one's support we get past those days. We have learned how to improvise to make things happen and we can still "walk" around somewhat holding hands.
   So, in the spirit of today I am thankful for my husband being alive and his injuries not being worse than they were, and thankful for everyone that loves us, and the opportunity to wake up again today and face the
day."
   I say that Jason Dufour has been blessed mightily to just have a loving wife by his side like Suzie. We continue to pray for Jason's rehab and a very special for you Suzie, you are so strong and courageous!

Dear Prayer Warriors

BELIEVERS MINISTRY PRAYER LINE

Good Morning my Dear Prayer Warriors, and to those who are asking for prayer today. We have some wonderful, miraculous updates today! Well Glory! Also, we have some very serious prayer needs today and I need some numbers with Saints who can release a powerful word with their tongues in the prayer intercessory for our group this week, at the intercessory prayer time Friday night at 7:00.

If anyone has a prayer request please email Believers Ministry at: djbraman@gmail.com or call the ministry line at 252-292-9272. God bless all of you who participate in this much needed ministry of prayer intercessory.

UPDATE: PASTOR JERRY NELSON

Paster Nelson had bypass surgery several months back, (4 bypasses). He has done excellent. He had a catherization last week. A miracle has occurred during this by pass process. Two of the valves to his heart had blockage but had begun to regenerate in a different by pass. His blood flow into the two working valves were pumping great. I hope I explained this right, but the bottom line is that his body began to regenerate new valves on it's own. His doctor told him he had never seen anything like it. I love it when the Lord confounds doctors. But now Pastor Nelson is quite experienced in calling things that are not as though they are and seeing manifestation. It is our spoken word with faith that is released into heaven that returns to us with metaphysical power that defies human logic. Glory unto the Most High!

UPDATE: Sarah Teidt

Sarah went into the hospital two weeks ago to begin chemo to treat her Lukemia. The doctors have matched her with a matching blood type and she will be receiving a bond marrow transplant, so please pray that the transplant takes and she asks all of us to please give blood when there is an opportunity because it is for people like her that receive it. We pray today for a miracle for Sarah and I can hardly wait to update her again with the proclamation of that miracle. Say, MIRACLE FOR SARAH!

Prayer Request: Daniel Brook

Daniel's Father, Richard is asking for us to continue praying for his son Daniel who is in the navy and is having severe problems with a tumor in his nasal cavity. Bone is going to have to be cut as it is blocking his air passage from a childhood sports injury, so Daniel is in quite a bit of pain and discomfort. We pray today for his healing and let us pray for his wife as well, who recently got saved. We know how the devil always comes knocking when you get your house cleaned up. Pray that she will be empowered and surrounded with Christians to support her to stand against the wiles of the devil and her covenant marriage, and that Daniel will bond closer to the Lord as they go through this trying time and walk out their salvation in the Lord. We pray also that Daniel's position in the Navy will be secured through this physical challenge. I believe it is important to pray for young couples today who are coming to the Lord, for the marriage covenant is the most attacked in these end times evils of the devil. We pray the blood on their door today and for Daniel's career. We love you Daniel, your Brothers and Sisters in Christ!

Prayer Request: Joseph Baker (Westmoreland member)

Joseph will going in for testing on his heart Thursday morning. They will run dye through him to be able to see his blood flow, so be in prayer for him as he undergoes this procedure. I believe the Lord can change xray reports with prayer don't you? I claim that for Joseph today in Jesus' name!

Prayer Request: Denise Melton

Pray for Denise to find a job, as we know how difficult job hunting is with the economy. We pray that she gets a job that will fit her time with her three children and God will put stability in her life. In God's Kingdom there is no famine, He is our provider and I pray for this provision for Denise today!

Prayer Request from Candice our Sister In Christ:

I have two friends that I ask Believers Ministry Prayer Group to pray for that really need intercessory prayer. One's name is Shannon, and she has been struggling with bi-polar disorder for years. She tried to have a baby three different times which ended in three miscarriages. God finally answered her prayers a year ago and blessed her with a baby boy. However, since then she has struggled horribly with her bi-polar to the point she has been hospitalized. The doctors can't seem to find any meds that can bring her chemical imbalance back to normal. It has been a very tough year, not to mention she hasn't been able to enjoy the baby God blessed her with, that she had longed for. Please pray that God will heal her supernaturally with his healing hand. She is a believer and has remained faithful to God through it all. Please join me as I continue to pray for her, Candice.

Prayer Request for Diana: Diana has been struggling the last few years with multiple personalities. She was abused in every way that you can imagine as a child, and suppressed it for most of her life. About four years ago she began to have flashbacks of these horrific events and developed the personalities. God has blessed her with about four women in our church who have walked with her through this for the past four years. The women have been a God send, but it has been draining for them. Daina has relied on them so much to the point she has become dependent on them and she needs to be dependent on Jesus more. My prayer is that you will lift her up and pray that she will begin to run to Jesus, the only one who can heal her broken heart and remove these horrible memories from her mind. Pray that she will begin to have forgiveness for the people who did these horrible things to her. She has major trust issues. If people let her down she has a hard time forgiving them. I believe her unforgiveness is keeping her from the healing God wants to bring to her life. She is a Mom and wife, and I want to see her be set free to be the wife and Mom she longs to be, but also to be set free as she can finally have real joy and peace. God is going to bring her to a place that she can bless and help so many people, Candice.

We will be praying for these two women. There are some types of needs that require fasting as well as intercessory prayer, and they include strongholds and generational curses. I will begin on Friday of this week to fast for these women. I pray for others to join myself and Candice to fast and pray for these two women, as we lift them up in the prayer intercessory group Friday night! The fast will be from sunset on Thursday evening to sunset on Friday, a twenty four hour fast of only water! Also, pray for these four Saints who have worked with these two women. It is important to back them up with intercessory prayer. It is a spiritual battle going on here with the devil trying to wear them down because he doesn't want to let go of Diana. But the word tells us that Diana has FULL victory over the devil concerning freeing her mind from this bondage. Pray for blood regeneration and the seed of Christ to weed out this seed of Satan's on her mind. I will be sending some scriptural references to these women who have been placed in Diana's life to encourage them, reinforce the word to them and give them final victory with Diana. The word is clear that the elders of the church are empowered to lift burdens and yokes from each other and to restore our brothers and sisters into right standing with the Lord. These women have struggled with this demonic spirit for 4 years, it's time to crush HIS HEAD sister's. WE WILL MOVE THIS MOUNTAIN IN THE NAME OF JESUS!

If anyone wants to be a prayer intercessory for Believers Ministry please email me, we need more as the prayer line is rapidly growing in needs and prayer requests!

Today's Prayers

2009-11-12T09:31:00.000-08:00

BELIEVERS MINISTRY PRAYER LINE

I want to take the time to thank everyone who is a part of this prayer line who have offered prayers over these requests and I asked God to bless and touch every life he sends to this ministry asking for intercessory prayer. The bible tells us that if we are sick or we have stumbled to go to the elders of the body of Christ and asked them to pray for us, and the word commands us to restore them and to make them right again. We are to help take the yolks and burdens off of our brothers and sisters by uplifting them, giving a word and agape love, and when it calls for it to act in their behalf to meet a physical need. This is what Believers Ministry Prayer Line is all about.

Prayer intercessory became important to me a year or so ago when an elder of the church came to me with an impartation to intercede for a person that was a matter of life and death. I was part of the phone prayer line for a small church at that time. I wrote a story about that experience which I will release in the near future in an article. During that time, I put a cross up on an empty hall entry wall in my house with a kneeling bench and I began sticking prayer requests on it. Before I went to bed each night I prayed for these people. One year later as I took them all down and sat and read them all again I realized God had answered eight out of ten.

As I continued working in this prayer line I began to see how the Holy Spirit would speak to me concerning certain individuals that prayer was requested for. The more I became obedient to the voice of the Holy Spirit the more opportunities God placed in front of me. The most amazing part of being a prayer intercessor was that as I forgot all about whining and crying to the Lord about my own needs and focused my desire for others to be blessed or healed, my own needs and the health of my own family became healed as a result, and that is another story I will tell you later.

Sometimes we need prayer right away and can't wait till Sunday to be prayed for at church. Have you ever asked someone to pray for you and you just know in your spirit that it didn't get passed the clouds. Well, be careful who you ask to pray over you, because prayer intercessory is a serious matter with the Lord. So if you agree to be a prayer intercessor take it as serious a work as you would in your church work. A prayer service is quite different than a visible work where people can see what you are doing but it is a lowly servant's calling. You will not get recognition or praise from people, but you will get favor from the Lord which will reflect in your life and Christian walk because you spend many hours in His presence for others. In Revelation, John said that heaven stands still for thirty minutes while the incense of prayers from the saints go before the Lord.

Please email me if you have a special need for prayer or you have a personal request that you wish not to be made public, or you can call me on the ministry line at 252-292-9272. I still have my cross and kneeling bench but beginning Friday I will extend that praying for each request by taking them to a prayer intercessor group on Friday nights at 7:30 so pray with me at that time every week. Be sure to follow up with updates for continued prayer and when prayers are answered, we want to hear your story to share with others, for that witness to the world is more impacting than you could ever imagine. Thank you again for being a part of this ministry and its work for the Lord, D. J. Braman, minister of education.

REQUESTS:

Sarah Teidt: Sarah has Lukemia and has been having blood transfusions for a while. She was hospitalized this week and must begin a series of chemo. She is a security officer at Sandoz in Wilson. Sarah got my attention a couple of weeks ago when the red cross did their blood drive at Sandoz. She thanked my husband for donating blood that day and said, it was for people like me you know. That was when we discovered she had to have blood transfusions. It was just a fews days later that we learned that her situation had worsened and she had to go to the hospital. Pray for her healing of this blood disease because Jesus WILL make her blood new.

Pastor Jerry Nelson: Continue to pray for Pastor Nelson, he is having a catherization procedure done this morning.. Next month we pray he will be running 5 miles instead of 3, but then I have seen him run an extra mile up and down the altar when the spirit hits him.

Jemmy Solomon: This is a very special prayer request I received and it captured my heart. Jemmy is a missionary minister in India and this is the request sent today: "Greetings to you in the most precious name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Good morning and greetings to you from India. Grace and peace to you in His glorious name. I pray this message finds you doing well and the peace of God filling your hearts on this day and everyday thereafter. I am Pastor Jemmy Solmon from India; I read about your ministry and work in God. I am doing ministry in a small place, my church congregation is 150. They are very poor people. They are laborers and we have 30 little kids on our church premises that are orphans. We have 57 elderly women who live in our church house. We have 50 people who have leprosy in their family. Please pray for them. In our church we have Sunday services but on Fridays we have a fasting prayer service and on Wednesday we have an all night prayer service. We do distribution of the gospel in small villages with our church members on Saturdays and conduct street services. I am praying for you and ask you to pray for our ministry and the people here. We are God's servants and we are telling the people of Jesus and his crucifixion for them. We want a relationship with you there in the states in our Lord Jesus, Thank you, Jemmy, with love and prayers."
Jemmy, we want you to know we are praying for you here at Believers Ministry for your ministry and for the people who are afflicted and in need in your congregation. We pray for God to renew your strength daily as you work as his humble servant. We pray for the Lord to provide your needs as you work to bring the lost there into his light and in the blood of Jesus Christ to give them a new life and healing.
I pray after reading this request no Christian will ever again feel a need to whine or complain in the church again, but for our work here is such a light load compared to many of the works the Lord has called men to do across the world laden with heavy burdens and little money to meet the ministry's needs. Jemmy didn't even ask for money, only prayer, but wouldn't it be nice to send something to these children at Christmas. If you would like to help this mission you can contact Kim Balogh at: Kybalogh@hotmail.com (Prayer Warriors International)

Update on Keith Hobgood: Keith was hospitalized last Friday after having surgery a month ago to remove a portion of his lung for infection. His speech began to slur and he went to the hospital at Pitt and learned that the infection had spread to his brain. He was put on I.V antibiotics. There are three abscess spots of infection on his brain. The neurosurgeon said he is going to try to remove the infection with a 6 to 8 week treatment because the spots are so small. We pray today that when Keith is checked again there will be no more infection, in Jesus name it is done!

The Need for Prayer

2009-11-09T19:41:00.000-08:00

Sometimes we need prayer right now, not days later when we request it in our church. Writing a daily devotional I have had quite a few occasions in the last couple of months where my readers email me requesting prayer for themselves or for others they love. If a person takes the time to go online asking for prayer from their internet friends they really need it in a timely manner.

Praying for others is no small matter, so if you're asked to pray for another be diligent with the Lord in this matter, for collective voices praying is powerful and results in manifestation when it comes from the heart and is a sincere desire for people in need even when you don't know them personally.

A study was recently done that showed people who were prayed for recovered 30% more than those who were not prayed for. In this research study, prayers were assigned to a group of patients while another group were not given the praying group. The patients who prayed for recovered more quickly than the group not prayed for as well. Families who are prayed for in crisis get through that difficult time more successfully and quicker than people who have no one to pray with them and help them and be their for them. Love of others is a healing presence and a source that lifts the spirit of one hurting and grieving. So if you are a prayer warrior and feel a call to lift burdens from others please email me so I can make available these prayer requests to you.

If you need this ministry to be an intercessor in prayer for you or someone you love please send your request to: djbraman@gmail.com

If you need a person to pray on the phone with you leave your phone number at the email address and someone will call and pray with you. Posted prayer requests will be by first name only unless otherwise requested. You can post a prayer for prayer request on comment.

10-21-09

Continue to pray for 10 year old Jacob Rhodes from Kinston, NC who had brain surgery at Duke Hospital yesterday, that his recovery will be speedily. His recovery will be two months so emails to him would be great to lift him up. His Mother, Donna needs your prayers as well. You can email him at: dlrhodes@embarqmail.com

10-21-09 Steve Raeford, a coworker with my husband at Sandoz has a 25 year old daughter who lost her best friend since childhood last week needs prayer. She is grieving over this shock of the loss and is having a hard time understanding why. Her friend who was 25 years old had flu-like symptoms and went to the hospital. She went into a coma and was brain dead for some time and the family made the decision to take her off life support. Situations like this are difficult to understand and we pray for God to give closure to her family and her friend.

10-21-09 I would like to send out this prayer request for a married couple who are friends of mine and who are struggling with marriage problems as a result of an unfaithful incident by the husband, Teresa is struggling with the pain of this but loves her husband and is praying for a way to save her marriage of 12 years. They have two beautiful little girls. You know the devil is a liar, and he loves nothing better than to attack marriages because that covenant is the closest thing we have to our covenant with the Lord. Pray for repentance by him and that forgiveness will come into her heart. Marriages that opt to stay together in such a crisis go through a lengthy healing process, pray for that healing to come and to redirect their lives and bring them, in love into a relationship with the Lord.

10-21-09 Donna Brown has a brain tumor that in inoperable. She is in a rehab with hospice in Wilson. She is in her sixties and a wonderful Christian. Her husband passed away a few months ago who had Alzheimers. She also cared for her Mother-in-law for years who also had Alzheimers. She has taken care of others for so long and pray now for the Lord to comfort and care for her in her last days.

10-21-09 Please pray for Steve in Goldsboro that God will send him a wife. He has been a Christian for 2 years now and is searching for a Christian wife. Don't laugh at this prayer request, because if more people would pray for a wife and allow God to send them, there wouldn't be as many divorces and so many marriages unequally yoked.

10-21-09 Pray for the recovery of Keith Hobgood who had lung surgery two ago. He had contracted an infection on his lung and the surgeon had to make and incision to get to the lung to actually remove the infection. Pray for the healing of that lung.

Update and continued prayer and description of needs for Jason Dufour: Jason was in a motorcycle accident in June and is paralyzed from the waist down. Please pray for this young man and his wife Suzy as they tackle the challenges his limitations bring each day. The Ruitan Club raised money to help with a wheel chair and building a handicap ramp onto the Dufour's house. If anyone can help with remodeling a bathroom to convert it into a handicap bathroom please contact the Dufour's at: Suziedu4@gmail.com or call Suzie at: 252-230-6357. We pray today for God to open the doors in our community to help meet Jason's needs. We want to let the Dufour's know that the Christian community will reach out in Jesus' love and is praying for them.

Prayer request: Pastor Jerry Nelson (Westmoreland Pentecostal Holiness Church of Wilson) is having a catherization Thursday, November 12th. He had open heart surgery a few months back, and God has healed him from that. He jogs now for several miles, several times a week. Sunday, he danced before the Lord like I had never seen as joy filled his spirit for his love for the Lord. So let us pray that this procedure goes well with him and let him know that our thoughts and prayers are with him Thursday! Pastor Nelson is an anointed man of God in the word with a growing Holy Spirit filled church. If you want to be fed the word and worship as the spirit leads with anointed singing and preaching go visit Westmoreland on Nash Street in Wilson, and you'll see what I mean. If you need prayer or yokes and burdens to be lifted from your life go to the revival this week going on at Westmoreland through Wednesday night, beginning at 7:00 p.m. You will leave a new person because Jesus is still in the healing business.

Prayer request for Geneva Howard: Mrs. Howard is an elder lady with a brain tumor. She is the Mother of Rhonda Ellis, of Wilson and an employee at Sandoz. Please pray for her comfort and pray for this family for the Lord to comfort and be with them in this time of need. Mrs. Howard is a loved Mother, wife and grandmother.

Prayer request for Keith Hobgood: Keith had surgery a few weeks ago and a portion of one of his lungs was removed that had infection. Friday, Keith began to slur his words and was taken to Wilson and transfered to Greenville at Pitt. The infection has entered his blood stream and into the brain. Keith has two boys and is a single parent, please pray for this father to go back home to his boys and for God to heal this infection. We claim it right now in the name of Jesus. Keith is a teacher at Wilson Tech.

Judy's Request

2009-11-05T09:12:00.000-08:00

Believers Ministry received a prayer request today from Judy, a co-worker with my husband at Sandoz Pharmaceuticals in Wilson for her son-in-law Jason Dufour.
   Jason was in a car wreck that left him paralyzed from the waist down. He is 32 years old and his wife, Suzie, is 29. She is the daughter of Judy. Jason has begun his rehabilitation and Suzie has had to quit working to take care of Jason's needs which are enormous. So this family is in dire need of help financially. The remarkable thing in this story of Jason is his outstanding attitude. The willingness to accept the restricted life style. He has not lapsed into depression like you see often with these situations. His Mother-in-law is helping as much as possible in between her work schedule at Sandoz. I would like for everyone to pray for this family to strengthen them and to pull them together in the spirit of the almighty healing of Christ's power. We serve a Lord that is in the healing business and newness in him for families.
   If you would like, and the spirit leads you, please pray about how the Lord would have you to help this family, with prayer, groceries, utility bills, or helping Suzie with her duties in caring for Jason. She is having to spend quite a bit of money in gas to take him to therapy 3 times a week. Perhaps you might want to send Jason an email or card. Suzie needs our love, prayers, and support as well.
   The Elm Grove Ruritan Club is sponsoring a raffle to raise money for Jason. The prizes are a shot gun, flat panel 37" t.v. and other things. The tickets are $10 so get one today as the drawing is Saturday. If you would like to purchase a ticket or make a donation to Jason and Suzie call Believers Ministry at 252-292-9272. Suzie's phone number: 252-230-6357. Her email is: suziedu4@gmail.com.
   I know we are in a sluggish economy, but this is precisely the time to plant a seed for someone in need and to reach out to someone in need in our community and to show how great Christ's love is. The harvest will come back to you a 100 fold!

Praise Report:

I was delighted to hear from Renee' Moore on the results of surgery for little Jacob Rhodes. The surgery lasted 6 hours. When the surgical team came out of surgery they all gave a thumbs up to Jacob's Mom and Dad, Ken and Donna Rhodes of Kinston. Yesterday evening he asked for something to eat. His Mom only had a couple of soda crackers. He spit that out. His Dad went running around the hospital and came up with a whole box of graham crackers which Jacob some of. The surgeons thought they may have to take some hip bone for the cranial area opened but he had enough bone and that was a blessing to not have any of his hip bone removed. We serve a loving God and no matter what we go through he is always there. This is where faith and hope come alive. God bless you Jacob. Thank You Jesus and we praise you for the blessing on Jacob today. Praise be to the Lord of Host, may our sacrifice of praise be to Him today!. Please continue to pray for his recovery and for strength for his parents as they travel through this recovery period with Jacob.

I've had Steve Radford's daughter, Stephanie on my mind and in my prayers this morning. Sometimes when a loved one is taken unexpectedly and by means of unexplained circumstances it is difficult to come to closure and resolution. With young people like Stephanie it is even more difficult to get through the grieving process. But I want Stephanie to know that morning will come out this dark hour. There will be a growing process from this if she will lean on the Lord's guidance and hope and faith from her Christian friends. Sometimes God uses these painful events in our lives to guide us to maturity and to lead us to our own destiny in life. Some of the greatest callings have been born out of pain. We cling to hope and faith and express thanksgiving for the little time Stephanie's friend was with her and her parents and the darkest hour can bring joy in the morning. It is a season of sorrow right now for Stephanie and her lost friend's parents and we pray the Lord will guide and be with you during this season of loss. Here's a scripture for Stephanie and I pray it will help in giving her understanding of life's seasons we must all go through. When we know there is another time coming after sorrow it helps to allow God to comfort us until the dark has passed. For Paul the Apostle praising lifted him out of his darkest hour quicker. Ecclesiastes 3:1-8, I hope this scripture will help Stephanie to understand God's plan and timing for her friend and her as well. Stephanie will always be in your spirit, for she is a [part of a plan God has for your life and that hole left in you can only be filled with something wonderful God has in his plan for you that will be affected by the loss of your friend.

I would like for us to pray for Stephanie's Dad, Steve. He has a flair up in his back (disc area) from an injury years ago. He had back surgery a while back. These kinds of injuries can be great pain so let us pray that God will heal him.

Rev Steve Porter found out yesterday that his youngest daughter, in elementary school, has the swine flu which she had contact with at her school. Let us pray today for his daughter that this flu will be released from her little body in the name of Jesus. It seems to me the devil is on the run attacking our children with this epidemic flu, and now is the time for us Christian parents to pray that no enemy that comes against us will prosper. I pray for the Lord to smear the blood over Steve Porter's house that no infirmity or illness can survive in His midst with his family.
