Second Prayer Meeting!
Praise God! We met for our second prayer meeting today!
It is amazing the sweet fellowship time that we have when we come together!
I do have a praise report! I was able by the power of God through the Holy Spirit to minister to a young girl on the phone the night before. She is struggling with both bolemia and anorexia. O what a lie from the enemy!
As the Lord poured forth wisdom to know what to say, so many great things manifested over this young woman as I was able to minister to her. I have struggled with bolemia since the age of 21. It is amazing how we unknowingly worship our bodies and the one's we compare our bodies to.
The one underlying theme in the whole scheme of things as she was talking to me was that lying and manipulation had become a way of life for her. This was her way of surviving through the lies of what she saw in the mirror.
To make a very long story short, there was truth that needed to be revealed to people that she was closest to, such as her doctor, and coaches on her cheerleading team. She was confronted earlier in the day yesterday about an eating disorder by her cheerleading coach and she denied it. As she denied it, the coach threatened to take her suspicions to her authority within the school. She knew the reprucussions of this would most likely be suspension of being on the cheerleading squad.
First, I told her to calm down and I told her you have to make the choice not to lie. She stated, "You don't understand, for me to go to the doctor was a big step for me, but then to be confronted of why I went to the doctor when she knew I wasn't sick, it makes me think I made a mistake of going to the doctor." Without all the details, the Lord kept pressing me to tell her to call her coach and to be upfront with her and to be honest with her. Praise God! She did call her coach last night. Her coach is obviously a very good one, because what has taken place is amazing and it is a God intervention!
The coach told this young woman that she would not take this any further and because she called her and let her know, she will do whatever it takes to keep her accountable. She will still be allowed to cheer, praise God, as I know that this was really the only biggest factor of what keeps her going to school. The coach is going as far as calling her doctor to find out ways they can assist this young woman while she is cheering. This young woman has lost 36 pounds since October. She has been excessively working out and either not eating or eating then purging. Because of the massive weight loss within such a short time, you can see why concern has been hurling around this young woman.
She called me today and left a message and was so elated that she called her coach. The coach did make her aware that she would have to let the head coach know what was going on as well. However, she would not make this known to the other cheerleaders, which was one of her biggest concerns, knowing that this could truly hinder her healing process. When you struggle with an eating disorder, you truly believe that you have it under control, when really it has full control of you.
God is AWESOME ALL THE TIME, and we are praying and believing that she will receive the healing of God upon her life and be delivered from this horrible bondage of vanity. The book I have written, addresses the issue of how we perceive ourselves. The way we perceive ourselves is the way we assume others sees us. I know that as I struggled with bolemia, my perception of who I was and what I looked like misconstrued the way I heard people, received people and interacted with people. Why? Because whether I knew it or not, I thought it was all about me.
We pray for innocence to be upon our children! We also pray for righteous holiness to bubble up within our children as they desire to serve the Lord and please Him in all they do!
Finally, we continue to pray for our school district, staff at all the schools, the board of education, for boldness over teachers and favor over the one's who serve the Lord! We are praying for teachers to rise up and to see supernatural ability and strength come forth as they educate our children...what a responsiblity.

Prayer for our brothers and sister in India
Today, I received this sad and urgent prayer request regarding the persecution of our brothers and sisters in the Lord in India. After the email is a prayer that we can stand in faith in the name of Jesus!
This is what was sent via email:
I trust my friends have enjoyed a wonderful Thanksgiving with friends and family. I feel quite sure that all of you have also heard the very devastating news about India the last couple of days. I also received this very urgent email that I wanted to share with my praying friends because all of these dear people NEED OUR PRAYERS. I am trying to hold them up before God all through out the day and at the end of every day. I hardly know the words to pray, but know that God can fill in my blanks. Thanks in advance for taking the time to read this...I promise you will not be sorry.
This is regarding the slaughter of Christians in India. It comes from someone in a ministry that provides homes for "throw-away" children. PLEASE PRAY NOW!
November 21, 2008 The following was received from Celia Taylor of our church. This is a request for prayer for YWAM (Youth With a Mission) missionaries and their churches in Orissa, India . The request came from Mabel Hurst, an associate of HCJB Global. Please readand make this a matter of urgent prayer.
"Dear beloved sponsors and friends of Good News India. We have never seen anything like this. We knew that Orissa was the most resistant and hostile State in India as far as the Gospel is concerned. And we brushed off the continuous threats and harassment we faced as we went about His work. But none of our staff imagined that they would see this kind of carnage.... And it seems to be totally under the radar of the Western Media .... Let me explain....... A militant Hindu priest and 4 of his attendants, who were zealously going around the villages of Orissa and 'reconverting' people back to Hinduism, weregunned down by unknown assailants in Central Orissa last weekend. Immediately the Christians were blamed. The cry rose up... Kill the Christians!
And the horror began.... In the past 4 days, we have first hand witness to hundreds of churches being blown up or burned and many, many dozens of Christian tribals have been slaughtered. For no other reason than they bear the name of Christ. Night and day I have been in touch with our Good News India Directors spread across 14 Dream Centers in Orissa... they are right in the middle of all this chaos. In Tihidi, just after the police came to offer protection, a group of 70 blood-thirsty militants came to kill our staff and destroy the home. They were not allowed to get in, but they did a lot of damage to our Dream Center by throwing rocks and bricks and smashing our gate, etc. They have promised to come back and ' finish the job. 'Our kids and staff are locked inside and havestayed that way with doors and windows shut for the past 3 days. It has been a time of desperately calling on the Lord in prayer. More police have come to offer protection. In Kalahandi, the police and some local sympathizers got to our dream center and gave our staff and kids about 3 minutes notice to vacate. No one had time to even grab a change of clothes or any personal belonging. As they fled, the blood thirsty mob came to kill everyone in the building. We wouldhave had a mass funeral there, but for His grace. In Phulbani, the mob came looking for Christian homes and missions. The local Hindu people, our neighbors turned them away by saying that there were no Christians in this area. So they left. We had favor. The same thing happened in Balasore. All our dream centers are under lock down with the kids and staff huddled inside and police outside. The fanatics are circling outside waiting for a chance to kill. Others were not so fortunate. In a nearby Catholic orphanage, the mob allowed the kids to leave and locked up a Priest and a computer teacher in house and burned them to death. Many believers have been killed and hacked into pieces and left on the road.... even women and children. At another orphanage run by anotherorganization, when this began, the Director and his wife jumped on their motorbike and simply fled, leaving all the children and staff behind.
Every one of our GNI directors that I have spoken to said: "We stay with our kids.... we live together or die together, but we will never abandon what God has called us to do." More than 5000 Christian families have had their homes burned or destroyed. They have fled into the jungles and are living in great fear waiting for the authorities to bring about peace. But so far, no peace is foreseen. This will continue for another 10 days.... supposedly the 14 day mourning period for the slain Hindu priest. Many more Christians will die and their houses destroyed. Many more churches will be smashed down. The Federal government istrying to restore order and perhaps things will calm down. We ask for your prayers. Only the hand of God can calm this storm. None of us know the meaning of persecution. But now our kids and staff know what that means. So many of our kids coming from Hindu backgrounds are confused and totally bewildered at what is happening around them. So many of their guardians have fled into the jungles and are unable to come and get them during these trying times.
Through all this, I am more determined than ever to continue with our goal: the transformation of a community by transforming its children. Orissa will be saved... that is our heart's cry. If we can take these thousands of throw-away children and help them to become disciples of Jesus, they will transform an entire region. It is a long term goal, but it is strategic thinking in terms of the Great Commission.
What can you do?
First, please uphold all this in fervent prayer.
Second, pass this e-mail on to as many friends as you can. We must get the word out and increase our prayer base for this is spiritual warfare at its mostbasic meaning. We are literally fighting the devil in order to live for His Kingdom. The next 10 days are crucial. We pray for peace and calm to pervade across Orissa.
Thank you for taking the time to read this. Please pass it on and help us to get as many people to partner with us on this cutting edge effort to fulfill His mandate: Go and make disciples of all nations.... Prayer works!

"A friend hears the song in my heart & sings it to me when my memory fails"
Prayer we can pray in one accord:
"Father God in the name of Jesus, by the power of the Holy Spirit...We pray for warriors to rise up in the midst of this chaos and havok that Satan has left behind. We call forth the mighty warring angels of God to protect every child, every minister and every Christian...this is the time for our FAITH to rise up and only believe...there is no room for doubt and unbelief. We pray the anointing of favor that was on Queen Esther to fall on every single Christian in those regions of India in the name of Jesus! We thank you Father that at this moment your All-Consuming Fire would burn up all assignments of the enemy and there would be constant revealing of the enemy's tactics before one finger can be laid on your people, our brothers and sisters in Christ!
We thank you for a WARRIOR CRY that would be heard from all these Christians as the Holy Spirit would shout through each Christian there like a MIGHTY TRUMPET! The enemies would hear it abroad and would flee for their lives in the name of JESUS!!!! We thank you Lord that you are the God of yesterday, today and forever! What we have seen you do for the armies of Israel, when in the natural there was no way they could have defeated their enemies, YOUR MIGHTINESS DELIVERED THEM AND YOU WERE IN THE MIDST OF THEM! Hallelujah!
Lord, we cry out for these Christians a battle cry like we have never uttered from our mouths before! O God, we pray you would supernaturally impart in each of these Christians boldness, strength of You! Lord, we declare your glory as their rear guard! We pray Psalm 91, your mighty promise over them right now in the name of Jesus!
Lord, your Word says, that because we abide under the Shadow of the Almighty they can say of you Lord, that you are their Refuge and their Strength! They trust in YOU, and we stand in the gap for them trusting in YOU! Surely you will save them from the traps of the enemy and from the deadly pestilence. You will cover them with your feathers and under YOUR wings they will find refuge. YOUR faithfulness will be their shield and rampart. They will not fear of the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day, nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday. A thousand may fall at their side and ten thousand at their right hand but it will NOT come near them. We will only observe with our eyes and see the punishment of the wicked. Because your believers and children have made YOU their dwelling place, and YOU Lord, as their refuge, NO HARM will befall them, no disaster will come near them. For you will command your angels concerning them to guard them in all their ways, they will lift them up in their hands, so that they will not even strike their foot against a stone.
Lord, YOU will tread upon the lion and the cobra; YOU will trample the great lion and the serpent. Because your children love you, YOU LORD SAID, that you rescue them, protect them because they acknowledge YOUR name. When they call upon YOU, YOU will answer them; YOU are with them in trouble, YOU will deliver them and honor them and with long life you will satisfy him and show them YOUR salvation!"
We pray YOUR PROTECTION TO MANIFEST IN ALL THOSE AREAS OF INDIA LIKE MIGHTY WALLS! MAY YOU OPEN THE EYES OF THE ENEMIES THAT ARE COMING AFTER YOUR PEOPLE AND MAY THEY SEE YOUR ANGELS AND FLEE IN HORROR, NEVER TO RETURN. WE EVEN COMMIT THEM TO YOU AND PRAY THEIR HEARTS BE TRANSFORMED JUST AS PAUL DID, AND BE ON FIRE FOR YOU LORD, NEVER TO RETURN TO HINDUISM!
Thank you Lord for your protection over your prayer warriors who pray on their behalf as well! Lord, we thank you for boldness and the spirit of Faith to rise up in each of us!
In Jesus Mighty Name, we pray and thank you in advance for miraculous stories to give YOU all the glory and honor! In Jesus Name. Amen.

Purpose of our prayer group
Warrior Mom's Of Christ In Prayer, has started a prayer group over our school district. Our first prayer meeting was Thursday, November 13, 2008.
Thursday was such an exciting, humbling and anointed time of fellowship as we agreed with the Word of God in prayer over our schools, children, teachers, staff and administration at all the schools in the district!
We are excited to see other mother's rise up and pray in agreement over our children in this time of spiritual warfare that only the Lord can rebuke. We want to pray effectively according to the Word of God!
The Purpose of this group: Give glory to God as we fellowship, cast our cares of our children on the Lord, meeting "like-minded" women in passionate pursuit for the Lord.
All prayer requests are prayed within the group of women that do come together. They are kept confidential between the women as we cast these prayers to the Lord. We do not have glorified "gossip" prayer requests. We pray and speak life of the Word of God over situations and people...we do not want to pray what we see, we want to only pray by faith the Word of God!
For example, if a child is struggling in a subject at school, we can pray effectively:
"Father God, in the name of Jesus, we thank you for the Holy Spirit who touches this child. We thank you that this child is confident in You and has the Mind of Christ. We thank you Lord that he/she is able to comprehend, understand and effectively do the work required of him/her. We thank you Lord that he/she can do ALL things through Christ Jesus, which is his/her strength. We thank you Father God that understanding and wisdom of You is desired by this child moreso than popularity or "acceptance" of other peers. Lord we thank you that in this child's weakness Your strength is made perfect. So Father we thank you for favor over this child. As favor has a purpose on this child which is to attain what is needed at this time and with that favor he/she is able to encourage other children and build confidence within themselves that all mental blocks would fall and be replaced with understanding. As understanding is received, so excellence will be his/her tool to glorify You Lord. We thank you that we utilize the faith that You have placed within us! For we know that without faith it is impossible to please You Lord! We thank you in advance for victory in this area! In Jesus name we pray, Amen."
Another example, if you as a parent are struggling with a teacher, whom you believe is not teaching effectively and even tearing down your child's confidence, we can pray effectively to the Lord:
"Father God, in the name of Jesus, we are reminded of your Word which says to "Love our enemies do good to those who hate us. Pray for those who curse use us and hurt us"... Lord we know we are reminded of this by the power of the Holy Spirit. So in this situation we pray a blessing over this teacher. Father, I commit this situation to you. Father, I am angry and I don't feel like doing any of those things that you have commanded us to do. Lord, I know we are called to do this for our own good, as it gives us opportunity to lean on you and see you glorified in this situation. You have called us to pray effectively and Father, I don't know what else to do but to release this teacher to you. Father, there are issues in his/her heart that I do not know about it. I thank you for your compassion that you place on me on his/her behalf. Lord, I thank you that you take care of this situation and Lord you make a way for my child. I pray compassion in my child's heart as well to pray for this teacher. Lord, I thank you even this teacher was fearfully and wonderfully made by you. Lord, I pray the oil of joy for mourning over this teacher, beauty for ashes over this teacher. Father, I pray his/her heart would be softened and notice the way he/she has been approaching our children. I pray that you would convict his/her heart to favor our children and that you would bring forth ministering laborers into his/her life to show your love and that he/she would accept You as the Lord and Savior of his/her life. Lord, I forgive this teacher, for he/she does not know what he/she does. Lord, as I release and cast this over to you, I know in turn that you care for me and my child. Lord, by faith I speak to this "mountain", which is this circumstance and I say to it, "Be cast into the sea" and I believe and do not doubt in my heart, and because I believe, I speak, and as I speak, therefore I know that I have what I believe without wavering. Thank you for Your compassion to prevail in my heart over this teacher and I thank you in advance that this is taken care of, and You receive all glory and honor. In Jesus name I pray, Amen."
I believe the Lord is equipping us to see what faith's purpose is. It is not a cliche that we tend to loosely use. It is a tool that is used to effectively see God move. For He is not moved by our situations, circumstances, sadness, or defeats. He cannot be manipulated, for He is God...the only thing that pleases Him is faith! So as we commit EVERYTHING to the Lord, He will make it successful, when it is according to His Will!
If you have prayer requests for your child, please email us at: wmcip@yahoo.com
All requests are made known to only the prayer group, and then we "lay" those requests and burdens at the feet of Jesus through prayer as we release it to Him.
God bless you and keep you in all your ways! Let us walk in love, not fretting, and have faith in God. The trial comes after our faith in God, so let us count it all joy, meaning let us be joyful on purpose, as the Joy of the Lord is our strength. As our faith is tried, we will only see how much greater God is. As those situations try to make itself appear bigger than God, we can remind that "giant" that it's going down today, because of the God we serve, just as David shouted to his adversary, Goliath! As we war in prayer, let us pick up the one's who are growing weary. For we do not want to grow weary in well doing, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart or lose faith!

Thursday was such an exciting, humbling and anointed time of fellowship as we agreed with the Word of God in prayer over our schools, children, teachers, staff and administration at all the schools in the district!
We are excited to see other mother's rise up and pray in agreement over our children in this time of spiritual warfare that only the Lord can rebuke. We want to pray effectively according to the Word of God!
The Purpose of this group: Give glory to God as we fellowship, cast our cares of our children on the Lord, meeting "like-minded" women in passionate pursuit for the Lord.
All prayer requests are prayed within the group of women that do come together. They are kept confidential between the women as we cast these prayers to the Lord. We do not have glorified "gossip" prayer requests. We pray and speak life of the Word of God over situations and people...we do not want to pray what we see, we want to only pray by faith the Word of God!
For example, if a child is struggling in a subject at school, we can pray effectively:
"Father God, in the name of Jesus, we thank you for the Holy Spirit who touches this child. We thank you that this child is confident in You and has the Mind of Christ. We thank you Lord that he/she is able to comprehend, understand and effectively do the work required of him/her. We thank you Lord that he/she can do ALL things through Christ Jesus, which is his/her strength. We thank you Father God that understanding and wisdom of You is desired by this child moreso than popularity or "acceptance" of other peers. Lord we thank you that in this child's weakness Your strength is made perfect. So Father we thank you for favor over this child. As favor has a purpose on this child which is to attain what is needed at this time and with that favor he/she is able to encourage other children and build confidence within themselves that all mental blocks would fall and be replaced with understanding. As understanding is received, so excellence will be his/her tool to glorify You Lord. We thank you that we utilize the faith that You have placed within us! For we know that without faith it is impossible to please You Lord! We thank you in advance for victory in this area! In Jesus name we pray, Amen."
