I kinda figure this is the best place to put it....not in prophecy. I've been writing down prayers and then giving them to those who've requested prayer....or in the case of my husband - it wasn't requested. I did one for my friend J - she said it gave her chills. Hubby was at th enearby christian library - and the lovely lady who was on duty - of the olderly variety - said she'd had 8 teeth out so she could get falsies. She's lovely lady - totally wonderful. And I only know her from there - and our conversations haven't been huge - but some stuff she has revealed to me of her own experiences with God is just mind-blowing. So hubby says to her he'll get me to do a prayer....she didn't realise it was a written prayer - since that seems to be the only way I can do it.....I gave her the prayer yesterday and said to her if she wanted to talk to me about it - then get my phone number from my membership card. She phoned yesterday afternoon and said that it was wonderful - she feels her mouth is better already - I'm thinking she may be in her late 60's but I can't be sure - and I think she's of Russian descent - she has a very strong accent. She aalso said she 'knelt in submission to claim the healing' ! I nearly died! I wrote it down - yes - but it didn't come from me - there's no way I'd expect someone of her age to actually PHYSICALLY kneel - but she did! She said she knelt in the kitchen in front of the sink so she could pull herself back up - and is adamant that she does feel better already. So - obviously - that is her faith that is working there. But - here is the prayer - and it didn't turn out the way I'd intended at all.....my 'pen' took over!
A Prayer for Rena
25 November 2006
Dear Lord,
Be with me today as I write these words for your servant Rena.
Please Lord, hold Rena close and help her deal with any pain she may be feeling as her mouth heals. Rena is such a beautiful person and you know her heart is for You.
Lift her up Lord as you did before.
Let her spirit know that you feel her pain.
Let her heal quickly so she may continue speaking your Word Lord.
Rena, child of God, hold fast to our Saviour during your painful moments, for by Faith are we saved. Know that Jesus is with you every moment of every day. That the pain you feel He has already experienced one hundred fold, for it is by His Stripes and His pain we are Healed, healed by the Sacrifice of the Lamb of God.
Remember too, as we draw closer to the Church’s traditional celebration time of His physical birth that His promises are still in effect. He IS coming soon Rena and He will need your mouth to spread His Word to bring others into His fold.
You are a powerful child of God Rena and He blesses you every day. You know in your heart any pain you feel is nothing. That with His strength, His Love anything is possible.
You have felt His touch and heard His words. You have knelt in submission to His authority.
Kneel now, and be healed Rena. Use the pain as a reminder of His love for you.
In Jesus’ Holy Name
Amen.
