Weekly Prayer

聽過以下一個故事。

一個宣教士在路上遇上劫匪，土匪正動手要傷害他時，突然面色大變驚惶地說：「快走，有13個天兵圍保護他。」宣教士去到教會講述這件事時，有人舉手問當時是什麼時候。宣教士把時間講出來的時候，那人說，當時正正就是有13個弟兄姊妹在為他禱告。

因為生病，有許多弟兄姊妹和朋友，用禱告來關心和支持我。自從開始治療以來，有多次危險關頭，都是弟兄姊妹去的禱告讓我從化險為夷。其中一個例子就是:

5/21因心跳180，要去急症室，去之前，發了禱告要求給代禱告者。急症室醫生要用一種藥來把我的心跳停掉，再回復心跳；就在醫生要下藥來停止我心臟之前的一刻，神把我的心跳轉變了。

感謝讚美拯救的主，垂聽了弟兄姊妹的禱告，成了神所差來四圍安營搭救我的眾天使。

親愛的弟兄姊妹們，你們是禱告勇士，你們的禱告，也是在我在危險關頭時的神所差派來保護的天兵。謝謝你們。  

Heard the following story:

A missionary on his way to a church and encounter robbery.  When they were about to attack and hurt him, suddenly they were very scary and said "there are 13 heaven soldiers around and protect that man, let's go".

When missionary arrived the church and telling this story.  One raised his hand, and asked what was the time.  Missionary told that person the time, and he said it was exactly during that time, there were 13 brothers and sisters praying for him. 

Because of illness, there are many brothers and sisters and friends, formed a prayer support net to love and support me with prayer. Since then, the dangerous juncture became the experience of His deliverance , One example is:
5/21, due to heart rate was 180, Simon took me to the ER , was diagnosed with SVT - Supra-ventricular Tachycardia.   The ER doctor decided to give me medications to stop the heart completely and then restart it using defibrillator.  This was a risky procedure.  God changed my heart rate and it slowed down right before the medication . 

Praise the salvation of my Lord, He heard prayers of brothers and sisters, you and your prayers became the God sent encamp angels. 

Dear Brothers and sisters, you are faithful prayer warriors, your prayers also the God sent host and angels from heaven.  How wonderful, thank you.

Dear Heavenly Father,

We praise you. You are worthy. "...Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and praise!" (Revelation 5:12) . Thank you Jesus for being slain for us, that we can make the choice to accept Jesus Christ , the Lamb of God who take away the sin of the world, as our personal savior and Lord and become your children and your sheep. We believe that Christ died for our sins, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures. We praise Jesus, the living God, and trust that he is manifesting his saving grace and healing power even today.
We read about Jesus' compassion and power to heal all kinds of sickness.
Matthew 8:15-16－"He (Jesus) touched her hand and the fever left her, and she got up and began to wait on him. When the evening came, many who were demon-possessed were brought to him, and he drove out the spirits with a word and healed all the sick."
Matthew 9:18-26－Jesus healed a sick woman and even raised a dead girl
Matthew 12:15－"...Many followed him, and he healed all their sick,"
Matthew 17:14-21－Jesus healed a boy with a Demon
Matthew 19:2－"Large crowd followed him, and he healed them there."
Matthew 20:34－"Jesus had compassion on them ( 2 blind men ) and touched their eyes. Immediately they received their sight and followed him."
We claim Jesus' healing touch on Esther. Our faith is little. But even if we have faith as small as a mustard seed, we can move mountain. With You nothing will be impossible for Esther and for us (Matthew 17:20).
Please answer our prayer, Oh Lord, according to Your Word in Psalm 18:
Verses 1-6：I love you, O LORD, my strength. May Esther love you and claim your strength. The LORD is her rock, her fortress and her deliverer. She takes refuge in you, her shield and the horn of her salvation, her stronghold. When she calls to the LORD, who is worthy of praise, she is saved form her enemies. Though satan is a strong enemy intending to destroy, but you are much stronger. The cords of death entangle Esther; the torrents of destruction overwhelmed her. The cords of the grave coiled around her; the snares of death confronted her. In her distress she called to the LORD; she cried to his God for help. God heard her voice form the temple. Esther’s cry came before God, into God's ears. We also cry to you for your healing for Esther and help for her whole family. We trust that you listen and meet their needs.
Verses 16-19：O LORD, please reach down from on high and take hold of Esther; please draw her out of deep waters. Rescue her from her powerful enemy. The LORD is her support. Please bring Esther out into a spacious place, rescue her because of your delight in her.
In Jesus' powerful name, Amen
