What A Mighty God we Serve!

[ropegg]

It's been such a blessing to come to this thread again, I've been away so long. I've been blessed by the videos of the children singing "What A Mighty God We Serve"; and by the beautiful but heart wrenching videos about Katie Kilpatrick; and by the numerous praise reports amongst the seemingly giant prayer needs in our midst. Somehow, I feel as if I've grown up a little more, catching a glimsp of some of the more important things in life. Thank you Peggy, Linda, and Jackie for your faithfulness in prayer and continued involvement and presense on this thread. Thank God for His constant faithfulness, love, and mercy. Amen.

Hi Ava,

You are welcome and it is so good to see you back. I thought earlier that I wondered if there was ever anyone still looking at this thread and what the need seemed to be to keep posting so I decided to check. I set up a page where I could just refresh the 'view count' now and then and I was amazed at how much it is being viewed and realized that there certainly is still a need for it so I came to make another post thanking God for all he has done for me and that it is not so important that we phrase our prayers correctly as it is that we do pray. Our prayers are received by the Heavenly Father in a perfect way as God knows our needs even before we ask. What a Wonderful Savior.

Amen! He is great! I've grown more since being on this thread; touched by all of your postings requesting prayers & seeing the bond that is being made here. We're just not people on keyboards, we're friends, whether we are Christians or not; He's here for us all... God bless each and everyone of you for the time you've taken to come here; those are precious times sown for His vineyard.

I love u guys

Thank you Peggy. It is encouraging to know that many people are being touched & ministered to by God through this thread. He is a Wonderful Saviour & Great God!

Hi Sophia, it is always good to hear from you; it was very good news to hear of your neice's recovery. I'm very thankful to God for the praise reports (growing in leaps & bounds). I continue to join my prayers with others on the prayer chain because nothing is too hard for God & prayer changes things. ~Ava~

There is a great praise report for Stitchsyl's daughter. She is out of the intensive care unit, off the ventilator, and walking for short distances. Praise God! She reported this in the YDC Christmas thread.

I was thinking it would be a good idea to list the praise reports as already being done; but also to put a bracketed message next to prayer request, i.e. [ Praise Report] for any prayers that have been answered. This would be a great encouragement.

Heavenly Father Thank you for allowing us to add another Praise to this prayer list. You are so good to us and for that I am so grateful. Once again though Lord, we add another Praise to glorify you and have to add four additional for Prayer and Blessings. Father it doesn't look like Lynette is going to be able to comply with the Schools wishes unless of course you intervene to heal her, or to soften the hearts of those in charge at her School. I pray also Lord for your intervention in Rene's healing from complications of the flu. You know what she needs and I just pray that you will supply her needs. I am concerned about Jan and Harold, and I just pray that you will hold them both in your loving arms and bring them back to us soon. I continue to pray Father for the others on this list that is hurting or sick and need your special touch. Father I pray these things in your Holy Name, Jesus. Amen

That's a good idea Ava, I'll do that now. Thanks. BTW Welcome back.

On further thought I'll do it tomorrow. I am having some swelling problems in the feet and legs from either the Diabetes or COPD and need to close it down and go to bed.

Hi Jackie, thanks it's good to be back. I hope that the swelling & discomfort in your legs & feet are reduced when you lie down. My continued prayers are with you & Brad, and I ask God to heal you in your whole persons. May God also touch and heal Jan, Sandy's daughter; and bring Harold back fully restored into the forums (I heard he's been visiting his stores). Amen.

Lord God, you told us in Matthew 18:20 "For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them." this I have found to be the case as evidenced in the Praise reports. Thank you Father for being in the midst of us and loving us so much. I Love You Father and thank you once again. In Jesus name I pray, Amen.

I guess you see I did the PM before I did much reading -- sounds like we are on the same team.

The joining in prayers are powerful and of the 5 requests I have posted 3 of them have been so gratefully fulfilled and answered by our Precious Heavenly Father. If we ask in Jesus name really believing on Him He will intercede with the Father for us to get our prayers answered. Our prayers are not always answered according to our plans and often when we take a look back
we are so glad they weren't. Thank you for all who have joined in prayer for those needs made known on this thread.

He that believeth on me.....And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do.....If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it


John 14:9-14 KJV

9
Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?

10
Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.

11
Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake.

12
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.

13
And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

14
If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.
