Prayer Directives

Dear Prayer Team and friends of our Prayer Network,

We have seen many changes in the past few months ending 2008 and entering 2009. None of this should surprise us as all eights are linked to new beginnings, changes and suddenlies and that is exactly what we witnessed. The people of America wanted a change so that is what they voted for. The economy made a huge shift in September 2008. We have seen many changes – political, governmental, business, and wealth.

We are in a very important time in history and how our nation goes depends largely upon how the Church will respond to God’s call to pray. No matter how we voted or what political candidate we favored we are commanded in 1 Tim. 2:1, 2 to “first of all pray for kings and those in authority over us.” This means that our first priority in prayer should be our President and others in positions of authority “that we might live peaceful lives.”

I have felt impressed by the Lord to send out “Prayer Directives.” I know that all of you are already praying for our President and nation, but there is power in agreement – many voices saying the same thing. These directives will change monthly or bi-weekly as the Holy Spirit directs. The directives will align with one of the mountains of influence or mind-molders of our society. The first directives will be for the mountain of Government.

If you would like to receive these “directives” please just respond to this email at luefeucht@yahoo.com and say yes you would, otherwise I will take your name off this list.

Our government is in transition. We should all feel proud that an African American has been elected President. But if you check out what the new government policies would be for the White House, go to www.whitehouse.gov and go to the sections on Civil Rights and Family you might be grieved as I was.

Church we need to pray! Here are a few things that are posted:

Support for the LGBT (lesbian/gay/bi-sexual/transgender)

Expanded hate crimes bills. These are the type of bills that stop all “hate speech”, such as pastors preaching against homosexuality

Support of Full Civil Unions and Federal Rights for LGBT couples

Opposition to a constitutional ban on same-sex marriage

Repeal “Don’t Ask-Don’t Tell” policies in the military

Expand adoption rights for same same-sex couples

Expand Human Embryonic Stem Cell Research

Opposition any constitutional to overturn Roe v. Wade

Increased funding for abortions

God is calling up the “Reserve.” A Reserve is troops held out of action for use in an emergency. Chuck Pierce called this reserve the “Triumphant Reserve.” He said they will reform and transform society in the midst of this chaotic, crisis filled time.

Thank you for praying,

Blessings and love,

Lue

Waiting on the Lord

I was reading from my devotional this week and one of them was about waiting. I do not know about you, but I often struggle with waiting on the Lord. Why does God's timing have to be so different from our own?

To answer that question, one of the things I know is that God sees the whole picture when we only see in part. The Bible tells us this is the case in 1 Corinthians 13:12. "Now we see things imperfectly as in a cloudy mirror, but then we will see everything with perfect clarity. All that I know now is partial and incomplete, but then I will know everything completely, just as God now knows me completely."

Isn't it nice to know that God knows you completely?! Well, maybe, it is a little frightening, but also comforting. God knows where you are today, physically, spiritually, emotionally. He knows what challenges you are facing and how you want to respond to those challenges.

Thankfully, He is waiting with an answer. Waiting is the key word we come back to. The Bible has a lot to say about waiting, but one of my favorite verses is this: Isaiah 40:31. NAS puts it this way, "Yet those who wait for the Lord will gain new strength; They will mount up with wings like eagles, They will run and not get tired, They will walk and not become weary". NLT says it this way, "But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint."

Waiting is the key to most situations. In the waiting, you find the Lord and your answer, but sometimes you want to bypass the waiting and get to the answer. My devotional said this, "One way we often cope with a long wait (or even a short one) is begin helping God get his plan into action... Another way we cope with a long wait is to gradually conclude that what we're waiting for is never going to happen."

Sarah is the example they use in this devotional. She, at some point, chose both avenues. At first she tries to figure out the most reasonable way God is going to bring the promise about. Then when that does not work, she begins to believe that it will never happen. Her body is just too old.

I know at times in my own life I have gone both avenues. I have either tried to make it happen myself or I have given up hope. I believing that today is not one of those days. The challenges I face today I stand in faith believing that if I will patiently wait, God will provide for all of my needs.

I encourage you to do the same. Seek the Lord and He will find you. When He does, He will have the answers to any circumstances or crisis you might be in the middle of.

God's Divine Power

October 23, 2008

I came to these Healing rooms to be prayed over, not knowing about what or even why. But the Lord already knew and He was waiting with His angels and through the Healing Room Ladies, His Divine power healed me and broke all the soul ties that were holding me in bondage. This last week has been free of all guilt and regret of my past relationships, even when in the presence of an ex-boyfriend. I am blessed and grateful for these Healing Rooms. Through Jesus' blood I have been set free.

Testimony - Dan White

Ten weeks before Healing Rooms Training, Dan White fell off his deck and broke his back. He received a 30% compression fracture of L2 vertebrae. He came to the training in a back brace and special chair. The first thing that was done at the training was that those who were leading prayed for him.

He decided it was time to stand on what he believed. He took off his brace and sat in a regular chair. He hadn't lifted anything more than 10 pounds since the accident.

When he went home, he went back to building his house. A week later, he installed a 435 pound wood stove.

His back is healed.
