Be A Caster Offer! [Current FB Prayer Request.]

    My heart is full this evening. Never was any of us created to carry the burdens that arise is this life. I want to be a caster offer! Constantly casting all into the arms of the Great 'I AM'!

    I Peter 5:7 "Cast all your cares on Him for He careth for you."
He does care---more than we can ever fathom. If we just could grasp the compassion and nurture Spirit of our Lord; we then shall be engulfed with an enormity of Peace that will enlightened our spirits to soar and do more for the Kingdom of our God!

PRAYER FOR THE LESS FORTUNATE & THE LONELY DURING THE HOLIDAY SEASONS

 PRAYER FOR THE LESS FORTUNATE & THE LONELY DURING THE HOLIDAY SEASONS

Thank God for the Gift of Prayer in that our loving Saviour made a way for us by His Blood Atoning sacrifice on the cross! It is a privileged to have the inherited authority as a daughter of our Heavenly Father to stand before Him and beckon on the behalf of ourselves and others.

  My heart is burdened for the lonely and hurting. As pastor's we are made aware of intimate details of individuals lives. During this past Thanksgiving, I was moved with the fact that several people I personally knew was to spend this holiday alone. Family may live nearby yet they were alone. Holidays in this still great country usually represent a time of cheer, friendships and of course family. Yet, in the past 24 years of ministry; as my husband and I have counseled the hearts of men and woman, we have seen this loneliness only increase.


                                               PRAYER LIST

1.) For all the elderly that are widowed. 

2.) For the elderly in nursing homes.     

3.) Elderly couples that either never had

children or children/gr. children do not visit.

4.) Sick & Disabled                                

5.) Parents who have lost a child.           

        6.) For orphans.                                               

7.) Pastor's and Ministry leaders (yes,     

they do get lonely & hurt).

 

 

  As well, we cannot forget what we call politically correct the 'less fortunate'. Every situation that has led to financially misfortune is quite different. Irregardless, we should lift up those that are desperate in 'need'. Sin AT TIMES, can lead to great deprivation. We must pray for all to be fed, clothed and sheltered. In addition; spiritually healing and salvation.

  Personally, we know that sickness can lead to a great basin of needs and desires. Faith does increase as we who know this place quite well as we see God bring the manna daily. Yet, many are going hungry, have a gallon of gas left in their tanks-have children who they need to care for and are yet, staring at an empty wallet. Instead of condemnation from the Children of God-we need to pray and be willing to be led to help as well.

 

PRAYER LIST



              1.) Pray for income/jobs to open for those who have none.

2.) For those who are unable to work, yet have great need.

  3.) For young adults who are stepping out brand new in the

work force and need an income.

                                          4.) For families who are trying hard, yet are not even          

 scraping by.

                                        5.) For families, couples & individuals who stepped out of

                                           the norm (of financial security) to walk by faith

                                              as they answered a particularcall into the ministry.

Ps. 10:17, 18  "O Lord, You have heard the desire and the longing of the humble and oppressed; You will prepare and strengthen and direct their hearts, You will cause Your ear to hear,

¹⁸ To do justice to the fatherless and the oppressed, so that man, who is of the earth, may not terrify them any more."



 

 

The Healing Word

The Healing Word

  "He spoke the Word, and healed my disease; You are the Lord My Healer." Amen? Agreed? I love in God's Word when the Centurion ( a Roman military leader) beseeching healing for a servant boy; said here when he told Jesus; "But the centurion replied to Him, Lord, I am not worthy or fit to have You come under my roof; but only speak the word, and my servant boy will be cured." [Mat. 8:8] Somehow this man was deeply assured in WHO Jesus was and WHAT He was capable of doing, so much so that all Christ had to do was  just speak THE WORD! 

  In verse 10 Jesus remarks; "...I have not found so much faith as this with anyone, even in Israel." Wouldn't you like to have Jesus say that about you? I know I sure would. Oh that would be just the epitome of life itself (Jesus finding joy in me). In verse 13, we see that the boy was made whole at the exact moment Jesus spoke the Word. 

  His word, is the standard a banner which in the Hebrew was a dagal (pronounced "daw-gal" & was a troop or a garrison); against our enemy. [Is. 59:19] They are scattered and defeated by the Word of our Lord and God!

  God sends His Word to all His children and that includes we mama's; to speak His Word for healing and deliverance in order for so many to be saved from the door of death. [Ps.107:20]

  As we see so many who are in need of all kinds of miracles; let us gather together-open up our Holy Bibles and pray the promises God has already spoken. Speak them 'OUT-LOUD'...knowing the He is able and will do what He has ALREADY said He would do. 

  Speak His Word (with faith), in your prayers and to one another. He is our healer. This is everything!

                                             I AM THE GOD THAT HEALETH THEE

PRAYER FOR AMERICA

Mom's our children are now, or will be raising their children in a totally different country from when we all grew up!
I can remember when anyone anywhere could speak out their convictions with total Biblical truths and that would be 'IT'! Said and done! Because simply the majority still held to the validity of God's Word.
Today, many have their own INTERPRETATION of the Word of God and that has been twisted around their lifestyles. All this has done is weaken our country and soon the chords which held the U.S. together will soon snap! Issues being debated in our court systems, taught in our schools and debated on networks have rerouted the minds and souls of men. What are the issues:
*Evolution vs. Creation    *Abortion   *Stem Cell Research  *Homosexual Marriage/1 Man & 1 Woman Marriage   *Raising the Bar on Porn   *Taking away the freedoms from parents in raising their children. 
And I could continue this list with hundreds more. 
As our country is now once again being stirred up with the up-coming election, we are witnessing an eruption of emotionally hot topics that have to do with each that I have listed. 
One being the food giant Chick-Fil-A and CEO Dan Cathy. Standing strong on his Biblical convictions he states; "We are very much supportive of the family—the biblical definition of the family unit. We are a family-owned business, a family-led business, and we are married to our first wives. We give God thanks for that."
Yet, the battle is on! Big corporation giants in order to fulfill their unBiblical agenda label Cathy as a bigot and unloving; which is typical in this day and age we live.
Though every child of God should never hesitate living out and yes speaking out God's directives on how we should live; the best and most powerful way that we ALSO need to do now is pray!
FAST and PRAY!
Nothing can combat this 'satanic struggle' like prayer! This 'struggle' which  is standing on our doorsteps will continue to be and are being fought in court, in the elections and even in our churches. [HEAVEN HELP US!]
Mom's talk to your kids even if they are adults; guide them in God's Word and show them how this is not what God had planned. Then teach them to pray and fast with deep passion and diligence.
Let's pray for our country as it is becoming more and more volatile during the 'LAST DAYS' we now live.

WE ARE THE BODY-JOINED TOGETHER

   WE ARE THE BODY-JOINED TOGETHER

FOCUS OF PRAYER IS: PRAY FOR THE CHURCH TO BE ONE.
[Please note all highlighted words directs you to a link.]

Recently the Lord has burdened me for Bodies of Christ in my own community who are deeply hurting as they are being torn apart. Groups are getting up and moving on to a larger church in town or starting their own little meetings scattered all around. This is such a common problem that has existed for decades. We all find ourselves not even flinching when this occurs. Kinda like marital divorce between husband and wife; our cultural has become somewhat callused to it. Yet, it is not God's plan for either one. I have counselled several lately from other bodies that are weeping over this painful brokenness that has occurred. I personally know the pain a pastor feels as this is going on. The pain is so intense, many times this is what is causing a lot of illnesses in pastors.[Please read: Depressed, Stressed and Burned Out by A. Hart] No matter the process of division, a sheer of grotesqueness to just sipping silently away; it's still a breaking off of the Body and leaves great dysfunction for a very long time. This commonly last for years and some churches never can recover. I love what author Karen B. Mains said in her book, The Key To A Loving Heart: "If only the Body of Christ would cease it's declarations of war, ... and it's bloodying of the bretheren-then use the Spiritual Gifts God has given instead." [Gifts of healing, hospitality, serving: Having the Mind of Christ.] I say; "The world would be won!"

  We read Operation World's Daily Prayer Journal as a family. As we read all about  a country's spiritual and physical needs, the  common prayer request is; "Pray for the division of the church." 

  My entire life I have lived in the pastorate, here in the great United States of America. The Lord has allowed us to live in various parts of the U.S.;  as well, the common need of prayer is division in the church of Jesus Christ, in the denominations and of course the individual Body of Believers. 

  We call this disunity. In Jn. 15 Christ said we are the vine and He is the Branch; all flowing from Him as one, to achieve growing fruit to fill the world with the Gospel.  As well as in John 17:20-23; stressing v.21 "That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me." We are quitting one another! We get bored, some want more control and much becomes fabricated that no one knows what is going on (we call this confusion); so people find others to share this discomfort with (to make them feel better about their negative ideologies); then the breaking apart begins. This begins way before individuals have actually removed themselves from worshiping with their church. Bit by bit the enemy will use any weakness each one has and then gnaw on them. This is where we need to exercise praying through in the mornings and evenings. Lack of prayer and lots of it is rampant in the Body of Christ. Remember that old quote; "A family that prays together, stays together." This is vital, a little 3 minute prayer is not healthy. Nor is it healthy for mom's, dad's and their children! It starts here, praying through together.   If there is just one inkling of discontent with the church, the pastor, Sunday school and even the color of the carpet...pray about this! Seek the face of God; then go to your LEADERS and pray with them with a loving, humble spirit and pray together. Let's not have those prayer meetings where there is more talking about the problem than praying about it either. That is a sickening tactic that has destroyed not only churches but individual's walk with Christ!   Don't be quick to leave, ask God to show you how you can pray and serve the Body He has placed you in, to make it even better to be the scriptural arm of ministry Christ created it to be. Too many times church is thought about what it can do for 'ME'; but it is about serving one another. We are a Body! We need each other! We must have a spirit (from God alone) of forgiveness; even right at the moment of hurt, insult and injury. From Karen Mains again; "Forgiveness releases us from keeping count, from the insistence to even scores." [P.165 The Key To A Loving Heart] 

  With that; let's pray for the Body of Christ! Here's a challenge for you; go early to church and if you are able go to the alter and start praying for the services, your leadership and community. I promise you, your heart will be softened to the blessed Holy Spirit as He is anointing the worship and the message through God's Word. Other's may be challenged as well and follow suite, praying with you. Who knows, this could even start an amazing revival all across the land!

In Him for You,

IT'S A MIRACLE!

Mom's our focus this time is praying for that particular MIRACLE for your life! What do you consider a miracle? The more knowledge we attain in this life we all come to the realization that breathing in itself is a miracle.  Conceiving a child is a miracle.  The greatest miracle of all is the salvation of a soul! Glory!


God is the author of all miracles. Being the Creator of this universe; the Savior of our souls and healer of our bodies-He is Who we look to for the miracle needing attained in our personal lives. 


Hope has arisen in my soul as I bask in God's Presence...coming to KNOW HIM; that whatsover I do ask...IN HIS NAME and BELIEVE with all my heart. [Jn. 14:3]  = IT IS DONE! No 'and's', 'but's' & 'or's' about it too!


Be honest; we all slowly creep into places in our lives where we just accept either with our life style, words or actions that this is how it is going to be the rest of my life. Living in pain, loved one in pain, in financial need, emotional strain and the list drags on. This is such a distinctive ploy of the devil...he wears God's Children down. End result...the loss of hope in any such miracle. 
Dan. 7:25 "He will speak out against the Most High and wear down the saints of the Highest One, ..." 



I want to encourage you, jump into the river of God. Swim out to the deep where you have no choice but to be totally encapsulated by Him. Here is where your heart will change, the focus will be on Him and not the storms. Peace will start to flow from deep within to your mind; attaining FULL KNOWLEDGE of your God. Then guess what; FAITH WILL ARISE in your soul. New hope will be birthed; and you will find yourself believing and actually applying Heb. 11:1, you will have that 'substance' faith where hope accompanies.  ["Faith is the substance of things hoped for." Heb. 11:1]



Pray that miracle today, always relenting to God's Perfect Plan/Will! It shall be done!  Share with us  that particular miracle you are NEEDING and we will agree with you. This is the CALL of the Body of Christ.
In Him, Your friend and His Servant;
Daneille Gray Snowden

TAKING BACK WHAT SATAN HAS STOLEN --BY PRAYER WALKS

TAKING BACK WHAT SATAN HAS STOLEN

BY PRAYER WALKS

 John 10:10 The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows).

  Recently the Lord has laid it heavily upon my heart to go on prayer walks. I was burdened for some neighbors who are plunged in a muck of sin. I am also feeling concerned for my children's safety as they play outside. I see my neighbors as they work outside or go on walks. We wave and smile at them, yet as I look into their eyes, there is such hurt, loneliness, fear and well...death. 

  Then God told me: "TAKE THEM BACK!" "Woe, God how can I do this if their hearts are not opened?" Simple the Holy Spirit reminded me I had two legs that work just fine. Also that I had lungs and a mouth to speak and lastly a heart that believes that whatever I ask, He is there answering my request according to His Will.  

  I would like to challenge my brothers and sisters to join me. In your neighborhoods, your church's neighborhood and your town or city. Let's TAKE THEM BACK! This country was founded on Biblical principals. The first building usually constructed was the church as it was the center of the little village. We have come a long way haven't we? 

  If you are not able to walk, then drive and truly pray. How is this done? Take the Word and hide it in your heart, then as you walk...pray the Word of God over certain homes. Pray for peace, for hope, salvation, deliverance and healing. Plead the Blood over their homes...the Blood of Jesus is the power over sin and Satan himself. Stay consistent, I am confident that whatsoever we ask according to His Will and in the Name of Jesus...IT SHALL BE DONE!

  Read this little story about David and Ziklag...When the enemy came to destroy his home and his family (his people)...He asked God what he should do. God told him to PURSUE! That he did and God gave him the victory. 

PURSUE MY FRIEND...TAKE BACK and let's see lives saved and communities come to the salvation of God!

---------------------

1 Samuel 30

 ¹NOW WHEN David and his men came home to Ziklag on the third day, they found that the Amalekites had made a raid on the South (the Negeb) and on Ziklag, and had struck Ziklag and burned it with fire,

    ²And had taken the women and all who were there, both great and small, captive. They killed no one, but carried them off and went on their way.

    ³So David and his men came to the town, and behold, it was burned, and their wives and sons and daughters were taken captive.

    ⁴Then David and the men with him lifted up their voices and wept until they had no more strength to weep.

    ⁵David's two wives also had been taken captive, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess and Abigail, the widow of Nabal the Carmelite.

    ⁶David was greatly distressed, for the men spoke of stoning him because the souls of them all were bitterly grieved, each man for his sons and daughters. But David encouraged and strengthened himself in the Lord his God.

    ⁷David said to Abiathar the priest, Ahimelech's son, I pray you, bring me the ephod. And Abiathar brought him the ephod.

    ⁸And David inquired of the Lord, saying, Shall I pursue this troop? Shall I overtake them? The Lord answered him, Pursue, for you shall surely overtake them and without fail recover all.

   

¹⁸David recovered all that the Amalekites had taken and rescued his two wives.

    ¹⁹Nothing was missing, small or great, sons or daughters, spoil or anything that had been taken; David recovered all.
