Title: Prayer Request thread
Post by: Flyin6 on February 26, 2016, 10:43:15 AM
Not sure what is the best way to go forth with this, but I wanted a single spot to go to where I could corral all the individual requests for prayer. I'm heading off to Friday night Church in 10 hours, and go 2-3 times a week. I'd like to tell others and lift up your needs.

To begin:

Sam's Wife, for healing
Miss Kay, Healing, strength from a medical condition
Our Nation for spiritual healing, and to find a Godly leader
Our Warriors everywhere for protection


I guess the best way to continue it forward is to cut and paste the list from the previous post and add yours. If your need has been answered and no more prayer is needed for it, then simply remove that person or request from the list.

Great job men!

Now, every time we read that list, precede the reading with "Father God" and pray those needs.

We can get these people prayed for several times a day!

Thanks

Don I agree! A bunch of people saying words will definitely be a help.

If I can offer a suggestion....at least for me I like to pray with a specific person in mind. So I added the original poster's name to the list for what they added. It will help me keep it straight. :) I'm open to whatever folks think.

Thanks for the prayers, I told the wife you were all pulling for her & she very much appreciated it! Tonya went to her first post surgery appointment. Took X-rays, no infection, swelling is minimal & all the bones are aligned in the Dr's words "perfectly". I would say she is out of the woods & a full recovery is expected. Thank you & take her off the "official" list.

Jerry, Duane's family friend (Read: Like Grand Pa) who was 72 was playing football with some 30 year olds.

72 playing football...get that part?

Goes out for a pass, jumps to catch it and lands wrong. The fall actually split his skull...brain swelling...he never woke up. They kept him on life support so his son could say good bye...He's gone.

Prayers for his family.

BTW, Duane tells me they actually transplanted his organs! They were good enough to do so!

As we approach that day and hour, keep us advised

Men of RM. Let's all take a knee and get quiet with our Father just before this procedure and lift Matt's brother up. All over the nation, maybe all over the world, wherever RM has reached. Let's all pray together that day.

Gotta be tough for him!

I'm going to add an annomonous name to the list.

Last night I participated in something I don't think many people on earth have ever witnessed. A pastor called me and asked for some help. He has a speciality...
He is sought out worldwide for his particuliar abilities. I have known him for years

He casts out Demons! Yep, I said it.

If I ever had any doubt something like that existed, all doubt is completely extinguished after what I saw into the wee hours of this morning while holding this person/thing down. The pastor brought out one after another.

I know this sounds crazy, but I'm telling you as sure as I'm breathing, it is no lie.

Anyway, we are not done. There are more inside this tormented soul. I ask for prayer for this man. After all the vile awful stuff, and the puking, and more terrible stuff, he was left with a partial vacuum. These things had lived in him for a very long time. He now has a space where they once lived...

I'm not crazy...

Raising boys into RealMen!!
He was late 50's!
He had generational curses (Demons) in him. One said he had been there 42 generations! Another over 2,000 years!

I have been studying this demonic possession in Christians since Thursday night...Amazing stuff
I have biblically answered many questions I had, like can a demon live inside a Christian
People have said can darkness exist alongside light? That is offered up as like a biblical scripture
However
There is no such scripture!
Can a dark house have a room in it that is brightly lit?
Think about it
People are flesh soul and spirit
When one accepts Jesus he comes into and takes possession of the spirit person.
The strength of the spirit (Faith) will or may not influence the soul and body. If it is a strong faith, being fed regularly by the word of God and prayer, then it will in time purify the soul and clean up the body.
But if the demonic possession is fed, then the spirit gasps for air and remains barely alive and the soul remains lustful, angry, unsatisfied, hateful, unforgiving and so forth. That brings all manner of bad things upon the body.
I think that is why the bible talks about the godly person having a long life span. It's logical. If the spirit which is good is thriving, then it makes well everything around it. If you eat junk food, however, then the spirit does what it can, and remember the spirit is not of this physical world...So if you eat junk you grow weak and sick and eventually succumb.

I would ask for your prayers for His guidance I my life right now. I'm presented with an opportunity to take a regional Vice President role in the southeast. I could choose to live anywhere in AR, LA, TN, GA, FL, NC, SC, MS, AL. I'm struggling with leaving Texas and uprooting the kids. It's not a lot of extra money, mainly stock options.  I've been told if I stay here I have an Executive Director role in the next year or two. Getting out of the big city is sounding good right now but I'm praying for guidance.

Our sitter ( wonderful lady bless her heart) called today and told us that she won't be able to tend our twins after August is over.   
Need to find a loving sitter for my boys.
Find a new location to live that has a higher quality of neighbors who I would trust with my kids
Or sitters plans to fall through.
Or the second best option is a family friend actually gets approved for 100% medical and she would watch my boys
Lord help and guild me and those around me to find us all a working solution

Prayers requested for my grand daughter, Jo-Jo. She's the one I built the chair for.

We got a bad report from the doctor today. Her leg is not healing properly. They said it is worse now than at the time of the break.

They are putting her under and recasting in the next day or so. They will give her leg a bit less than a week to see if there is any improvement. If not, then she must have surgery, and have the half body cast on for up to 8 weeks starting after the surgery.

We are all feeling it, but mom is really stressed. It is going to be a doubling down by all this summer to support them through this...

Absolutely!

And Men, today some time and every day for a week, let's pray for safety of our LEO's out there. Times are not good for them. I wish I could help, but we have a problem with this new America.

Father God,
Thank you for all we have in this country which you have made. Watch over the men in uniform who work tirelessly to protect us from crime and danger and accidents and hundreds of things we know nothing about on our streets and neighborhoods. Our Law Enforcement Officers are under pressure from evil everywhere. They are brave, they care, and oftentimes they are not appreciated. You know them as your soldiers, and your caretakers, and even people who witness to those needing it most. Police and law enforcement are a special breed that you have created to be the sheepdogs of our nation. Allow no danger to find success against them. Comfort them. Let them know that millions of your people love them and are very concerned for them. Bring them home at night and I pray a line of the blood of Jesus our king between them and the evil of the spiritual world that seeks to harm them. In the holy name of Jesus I ask, Amen

I will report on my previous, we had our day care really nice neighbor lady give us a month notice and she was going to stop watching my boys, bringing me back to stay at home mode unless we found a suitable sitter.  A long term,   While we had neighbors who would watch them for a week or another for a month we didn't have a long term solution. we can't really keep our heads much above water with out me working.  Last night a much needed answered prayer came in at two am to my wife.  Woke out of a deep sleep and decided to get ready for the day.  She noticed how early she was and jumped on social media to find a post from a local ( wife went to school with her) that has a few openings in her kid schedule and was looking to fill them.  2:00am fellas.  God speaks to us in many forms. We just need to be in tune and willing to follow.    God bless you guys for being God fearing men!

Would like to add my step dad to the list Roy B. his cancer has spread from his liver to his back, lungs & then metastasized to his bones. The VA has given him months, he was an MP & served in Vietnam. As with most fighters he's choosing to fight & is currently just now speaking with cancer treatments of America.

Thanks Tate, I will pass it along. He is currently managing his pain, although the path he has chosen (chemo) is not an easy one. A lot of people choose to not fight it & enjoy the remaining time they have. To me that would be a tough choice.

Also note, he is & has been Decon at his church for years along with treasurer. He is saved, no doubt in my mind.

Good news, Matt

Shawn, I would encourage your step dad to consider a trip to MD Anderson.  I deal with the healthcare delivery system daily from a fact based statistical analysis perspective and CTCA preys on people by sometimes giving them false hope and their capabilities are not best in class.

In any event, prayers for you and your family for the best outcome.

TRN, thank you. I just passed along the info.

A small update, my wife & I just got off the phone with them. They are headed to Chicago next Tues to see CTCA. His current blood count is around 80 & as such everyone is telling them they need to get him healthier before they can treat him, even CTCA. So with that stated I also informed him of all of you Godly men having his back in prayer & thanking him for his service. He was very appreciative. Thank you all.

True MRSA is a beast Dave. If you or your family are around him much use sterile practices if you can. You can bring it to your home on clothes or hands and it will lay in wait for you to have a small cut or some other means of gaining access. Good news is that they've gotten better at treating it.

Another praise report for my brother.  I am visiting this weekend and he is able to get out and around with his Walker dragging along until he gets tired.  Hid stamina is not up yet and he gets frustrated but he is doing well.  He admits that he has bad days but he is still motivated. Please continue to lift him up.

Please add Tony (Rosco) Reitdorf to your prayers. He was standing in the back of a golf cart & his wife turned sharp. He lost balance & fell out with severe head trauma. He's currently in ICU, they removed part of his skull (right side of his head) he is stable & they are hopeful but this could go either way. Tony & his wife Michelle also have a son a little over a year old. I sponsored their off road race team for years (Tate you may know them as Team 302). Thank you

Rosco is now responding to stimulation i.e. body is shivering when cold. His pupils are still dialated but they may be last to respond, next 60 hours is crucial.

Update on my stepdad Roy, he ended up staying in Chicago for a week and a half. He has started chemo. His health prior to the cancer was not good & is very susceptible to other infections etc.
Title: Re: Prayer Request thread

-Rosco-
So I'm venting a little here or just writing because I'm pretty tore up. I'll post what I just read below in a minute. Apparently the Dr's removed part of his skull to ease swelling and that is currently residing in his abdomen for safe keeping.

Rosco, this accident and his struggle are affecting many. I honestly did not realize how many people he knew and lives he has touched. I'm not sure I can say I know many who have as much energy as he did on a daily basis. The guy was literally a walking ADD spokes child in a good guy way. Always doing crazy stuff and playing pranks etc. Drove a race car like no one's business, thus the reason we were always on board with him and his wife. My wife and I are trying to grasp why this is happening and praying a lot. I can't say we were close to them currently but we have history and this is definitely hitting home for her and I. He has a young boy and they are a solid family. Anyhow below is what his Mother wrote and thought I would share. If you have a minute and could please lift them up they are in a hospital near Lincoln NB as they were on vacation when this happened. Thank you


"I don't even know where or how to begin. I guess that's partly why I have not given an update recently. It is so difficult to understand the complicity of the brain, the body, the meds and the machines working for tony right now and even more difficult to try to explain what's going on. The doctors and nurses here are awesome. They would love to give us hope, but at this point that's becoming more difficult to do. Based on what we are seeing medically with scans and neuro exams, Tony's pupils remain fixed & non responsive...they said normally they will see pupils respond by now. .. doctors don't give alot of hope although they do say there's always the unknown, everyone reacts differently to meds etc. but as it stands right now our son needs a restorative miracle. I could go on & on trying to explain what doctors have explained to us, but I think you get the picture. It's hard to stay positive and have faith when there isn't much positive to look at. But I know my son, he's always been full of life, does everything in a big way and he doesn't give up on anything easily. More than that I know his creator and I'm choosing to believe that God still has a plan for Tonys life. I don't believe God is done with him yet! I prayed over Tony most of the night last night, read the word of God to him, speaking life into him and pleaded with him keep fighting, begging the Lord to give him back to us whole and healed. I pray Tony will come thru this & tell me how I drove him crazy with all this talking that he had no choice fighting thru it just to shut his mom up! It really is hard to keep the faith, but if it were easy it wouldn't be faith. A little story, yesterday we noticed Tony's right hand had alot of dried blood on it..looking at it his little finger appeared to be all scuffed up...upon further inspection it looked like his little finger had actually been sliced posibly pretty deep. We told the nurse about it and they said they would check it out. So they cleaned his hand up and there are no marks or injuries at all to that hand! My immediate thoughts were "things are not always as they appear...don't give up hope". So please agree in prayer with us for a total miracle for Tony...our God can do anything! Thank you all for the love and support...this is just so overwhelming and I thank God for each of you. Now go hug your child and tell them how much you love them!!!"

Rosco needs a miracle, he's not doing well.

His Mom posted this a couple of hours ago...

URGENT specific prayers needed....blood pressure 234/80....very high...cranial pressure is hanging at mid 60's. these numbers are at max pain meds and going back on sedation. he spikes higher than this when messed with. as I was typing this the neurosurgeon came in and told us his pressure is climbing like crazy and he's maxed on all that medicine and doctors can do. They expect brain death later today. They did say they don't believe he is feeling pain and is totally unaware. we are all devestated and have shock upon what was already shock. PLEASE PRAY foe us all.

A mutual friend Matt Rowland sent me this about an hour ago which he received from Rosco's sister

The prognosis has not changed since he got here. Each day has been little to no change with numbers gradually getting worse. His bp is 236/85 and his icp is at 72. He is fighting all he can and we never once gave up hope and faith but doctors do suspect it will reach completely thru his brain stem sometime within the next 24 hours, causing brain death. We are currently spending precious precious time with him. Nothing can prepare you for this. When I was holding his hand I told him that it's OK. That it sucks for us, but we all know he will be in a better place and he squeezed my hand. Something about that brought comfort to me. I love my brother so much.

Lord, we need a miracle for Rosco.

Rosco passed last night

From his Mother

I never in a million years dreamed I would be posting this. but our Tony met his Lord tonight at 7:41 pm. I don't understand any of this but I know he is with the Lord and nothing can touch his children without passing thru HIS hands first. we prayed with thousands of you believing for a miracle but our creator who created Tony had other plans. we dedicated tony to the Lord when he was a baby understanding that tony was a gift from the Lord. we committed him to the Lord and now we have to trust in his decisions. we're just not suppose to bury our children! and what about his wife and baby tyler? it makes no sense, but I've learned that when life doesn't make sense we just stand in the Lord and hold tight onto our faith. as much as this hurts...more pain than I've ever experienced I know that in faith we will survive & learn to live again. I just thank God for answering our prayers 36 years ago in the blessing of s little guy we named tony and trusting us to be his parents. we already miss you but we'll see you again tony, we love you more than you could ever imagine. thank you all for your prayers. Pray for strength and peace for each of us.

From his wife Michelle

I feel as if God himself has given me these words to express to everyone: Tony "Rosco" Reitdorf was a living angel that was sent here as a gift from God to all who he met, and even beyond. The proof is easy to see- the contagious positive attitude, the inspiring drive for life, the infallible work ethic, THE LAUGH, and the love. Tony may have gone home to the Lord, but his spirit will live on in all of us, as a gift that we are now realizing God has given us. So that is our charge, responsible for this gift, to go out and show Tony's spirit to the world, to work as hard as he worked, to hold our heads high with a contagiously positive attitude, to live life to its fullest, to LAUGH without restraint, and to love fiercely the people who mean the world to us. Tony has left us clear instructions, his work is done here, and now our's starts.



Rest in Peace Rosco

Shawn-

thanks for adding Rosco and his family/story to this thread.  It is always good for us to come together seeking God and his providence; often we are reminded that we are not in control, nor do we know the overall plan.  For all we know (knowledge) as a human race, we don't even begin to comprehend the complexity of the Universe that God created and actively controls.

Rosco's legacy, life and the impact of it will spread and grow as God has plan it to......be patient and prepare to be amazed at His plan.

My God extend his peace and comfort to you as well Shawn-

Lord God Heavenly Father, we as simple people do not understand your plan, but we know and trust that yours is unquestionably better than anything we could come up with. It is sad day when someone who has had such a great impact in your name on the people around him is called home. Although I do not know him I know he is at peace and I thank you for that. I would like to ask that your peace be laid upon his family who are probably struggling with understanding your plan. Please give them comfort that this is the way it has always been planned from the very beginning of time. Please give them peace when they may blame themselves for the accident and allow the Holy Spirit to be upon them through this terrible time of struggle and loss. Lord, thank you for the time Tony was present and had the opportunity to influence the many folks that he did. In your most holy and precious name we pray, Amen.


stlaser, I did not know him but I found your post shortly after you sent it out. I am sorry for your loss, but glad to know that God gave a good man the time he needed to influence the many that it seems he did.

Dr visit today

His take is that the shoulder is going to heal up fine, probably not a torn rotator cup.

Looking at the foot, he said I had a nice clean break and it appears to be healing just fine. No cast, just this giant mega boot thing. He said stay on crutches, but I can put weight on it as tolerated!

It's ugly though! Looks like that thing on the end of JR's leg we all saw.

Good news is I can now move around better with this boot thing and I'll ease back into operations commencing immediately!

Update on my step dad, his cancer has spread to several areas of his body. The worst being two spots on his brain. He has lost the use of his legs as he has a mass on his spine. This cancer has been very agressive. They started him on morphine IV today & are looking to transfer him to hospice currently. All treatment has been stopped, he was on radiation for last couple weeks. Thanks for all your prayers.

If you could all keep my oldest Baylee in your prayers. She has an MRI scheduled next week to rule out a meniscus tear on her knee. She plays basketball (starting point guard on her freshman team) & is currently sidelined. Pretty bummed as this is her life year around & wanting to play college ball as her goal. Definitely a small issue in the big picture but for a 14 year old it's been hard on her. Thanks

I'm asking for a prayer for my daughter and a close friend of hers. My daughter is fine albeit distraught. A good friend of hers from college was on a trip in Australia with her fiancé. They were camping and the tent was struck by lightning and the fiancé was killed. Fortunately my daughter's friend, while injured, is okay. But a horrible situation on what was supposed to be a year travelling Australia before coming back to the US to get married. I pray for the fiancé who lost his life and his family, for my daughter's friend, and for my daughter.

Thanks Tate, on the other my step dad passed 4 days before election (he still was re-elected btw). So I'm back in Hoosier country this week helping Mom sort thru lots of different things with the business and farm.

Ashley's oldest who made a full recovery had a firework blow up right in front of her, testament to prayer right there.

About the fiancé I will keep them all in my prayers as well.

Just got a call from Duane's wife
He is in the back of an ambulance enroute to the hospital
He threw out his back... Can't move, extreme pain...
History: he works out every day. His back was bothering him so instead of taking it easy he starts core stuff...well that was the incorrect choice
Now there is more to why this is not a good thing for him, but I'll save it for later

For now let's all just say a heartfelt prayer for him

Prayers worked!

Today he went in for his first visit. After the initial Dr exam, they carted him off to the MRI. Then they red the MRI on the spot. (This place has it goin' on!) the diagnosis was that he has numerous micro tears in a couple of discs. So they then gave him some steroid injections into the actual site of the tears.

He is back home, in bed...Planning some cross country skiing expedition in Wyoming after Christmas.

Like I've always said, You just can't find a Black Hawk pilot with any sense!

Guys:

Thanks for the out-pouring of support and prayers.  I am both humbled and appreciative.

Fortunately, I am on the mend.  The doc said it would be two to three days until the epidural / steroids injected on Friday started showing effect and I think it is starting to kick in.  This is the first time I have been able to sit at a computer since the injury.  Up to now, even rolling over in bed has been a painful and slow task.       

This experience is certainly giving me an opportunity to appreciate family and friends. Even the millennial daughters are stepping up to help out while mom assumes hospital shuttle and travel hockey duty.

Thanks again.

Update:

I'm at work, (was yesterday too), but this time I don't need to be doped up. Thanks all and to Him, the intense pain has subsided for now. it has either broken up or at the very least dislodged to a place where there's not so much blockage. The inflammation can cause intestinal issues, (read between the lines here), so I hope that's what's going on now, but it could be infection from damage. Going to be keeping an eye on it for the next couple days, so fingers crossed gentlemen. Thank you again.

We shall find out. I've got an appointment with a specialist on the 27th, so please pray for me that we get answers. The last time I saw a specialist on the issue I was told, "man that sucks, good luck" because they had no diagnosis, or reason for the stone formation but historically people with my lab results continue to make stones forever... not good. I did pass some pieces on sunday which was both painful and relieving at the same time, but I can still feel the disturbance in the force, if you will. The last time I got a CT scan, I had 16 in the passenger side and 11 on the driver's side. I usually pass a dozen or so per year but they are usually pretty small and not so painful, but I'd like to get an actual diagnosis of condition and treatment plan. that is the goal, well, besides not peeing out little razor blades anymore.

really clean. pretty lean meat, lots of fruits and veg, low carb, low processed. I went on an alkaline, low oxalate diet for 3 months under Dr orders and at the end my labs came back within 0.001+- of the original numbers. it's just where my metabolism wants to be. they think it has to do with all the heavy asthma meds I took from 4-15yrs old. no one else in my family has any issues like this. also about 100oz of water a day plus other liquids so this just shouldn't be happening is what they tell me.

Tate, both myself and my next youngest brother have cronic stones, and his are worse. he's been to several specialists...it was "too much soda, blahblah".
The one item that has made the most difference was dairy. We both crave cheese, but since he's cut back on all dairy, the stones are less frequent and also not as large. I haven't changed a thing, and waiting for the next BIG one.

Thanks for asking Dave. I'm hanging in there. several "pieces" have passed since the onset of this whole thing, which is a good sign of kidney function but I'm still off and on pain meds and experiencing hives that indicate some kidney function issues so it's kinda contradicting. I do have my specialist appointment Monday, so hoping for a diagnosis and direction.

Hate to hear you're having issues, Tate. I've got a buddy who was so blocked up he couldn't pass anything (solids included due to the fact you can't apparently do one without the other) for almost 30 days. Docs just told him to continue to try to pass the stones (army docs), which made him want to violate the Commandment "thou shalt not kill". I've been lucky enough to only ever have to pass one, and I'm pretty sure that was due to all the mineral water we drank in Iraq my first tour (only water available). As soon as I stopped drinking that and raided the DFAC of appropriate amounts of Gatorade, I had no issues. I sincerely hope the docs are able to get you taken care of! Praying for good results!

Gentlemen,

I've got a real close friend who is in one of those life slumps and always feels things are going wrong for him. I have talked to him about our savior and His power to better our lives but at this point he is still lost.

Please pray for this man, Ant, that he may come to know God, and accept Jesus as his savior. His wife knows Jesus but he does not. As we are all aware Jesus is the way the truth and the light, and this is exactly the strength he needs right now.

Folks, please pray with me again, my wife informed me of an individual in her company who has lost his baby daughter, and the mother recently committed suicide. Let's call this man T and please pray for him that he is given the support from surrounding coworkers he lives with, and for Him to come to know that God is his strength to get through this.

Thank you gentleman for trusting in God's provisions and knowing He answers our prayers.

Oh wow how awful. I could not imagine what hes going through. Sending prayers.

I have a good friend In the hospital. He lost one leg to diabetes last fall and is scheduled to have the other removed Friday. Infection spread from the bad one to whats left of the good one. He was admitted earlier today. Everyone including me got on to him about taking care of himself better before any of this happened.  But, he was too busy caring for his elderly mother to worry about himself. We sent her to the Lord late last summer. That was a big stress reliever for him but it was too late to save him self from multiple surgeries. He's one of the most stubborn yet kind harted men you would ever meet.

Guys on a much less serious note....

Pray for me and my family that we may make the right decision.

I'm being presented with an opportunity to take a CEO role in Nashville.  Uprooting the family is a tough thing when the girls are in middle school and one has had some issues with depression and thoughts of harming herself.

My family is here, hers is in Memphis.  Its a great opportunity and long term the money would be awesome due to the equity.  In know there is more to life than money but all the things seem to point in the right direction.

Thanks

Title: Re: Prayer Request thread
Post by: Wilbur on March 03, 2017, 08:31:30 AM
TRN I wish you the best with your decision, I know there are lots of factors that enter into it. I am convinced that things happen for a reason and while we don't always know the reasons (or that it some times takes months or even years to find out the reasons), we have to go slow and let our "little voice" guide us. That "little voice" involves faith obviously but other things as well, listening to your wife, to your kids, to others in the industry and others at the company (and some times those things you "listen to" may tell you it would be a bad decision, which is very important to listen to as well). So often when you make the list of good and bad (the old Ben Franklin balance sheet) about a decision, the "good" is often solely financial, while the "bad" are all the disruptions to the lives of those around us. Now it doesn't sound like that will completely be the case for you as your wife has family near there (if I read that correctly?), but hopefully my point makes sense. Have you asked your kids what they think? Maybe ask them to come up with their own "Ben Franklin balance sheets" for how the decision would impact them. You might be surprised at what comes out of it. And no matter what you decide (go no go) you will have tought them another lesson in being thoughtful and making decisions on facts rather than emotion. I sincerely wish you the best of luck. I know it's not an easy decision to make. And I will pray that you make the right decision for you and your family. I know you will.

Praying over all these needs this morning

Emphasize, YOUR KINGDOM COME, YOUR WILL BE DONE

Just do it and rest in your faith

Do it...
Title: Re: Prayer Request thread
Post by: Flyin6 on March 03, 2017, 10:15:52 AM
...And if you are saved

Claim what is yours. That is authority over sickness and disease, over hungar, over lust over addictions that YOU have the authority to break those chains! YOU DO SOLDIER! Hear me. Jesus died and gave all that to the church. We are the church. He is the head we are the body (church). Show me a head that functions that functions without a body...Well, other than in Commiefornia ;-)
Seriously show me a body that moves about without its head. Show me, and if you can't then learn from that
Takes both parts. It takes Jesus advocating in heaven at the right side of the Father and it takes us putting our left in front of our right. It takes US and a physical effort to put down the bottle, set aside the pills, turn off the porn and stop cursing. It takes us to stop an affair or walk up to a long held hatred for someone and stick your hand out.

Take authority over the defeated foe. You have authority over Satan and all his dominion. You do, so being a man of God take authority. For the big decisions like the one our cowboy red neck friend faces, ask for wisdom, and get real quiet while reading the word or seeking God. Listen. Listen to spirit filled men and see what comes of it. Claim victory and rebuke foul spirits and evil, simply set it aside, you are above those. Evoking your authority and standing in faith, claim victory over that sore knee just like I just did 30 minutes ago and give it no more thought.

As a functional note, you don't have to keep asking, God's hearing is fine. But what you do need to do is repent, ask forgiveness, get right with your God and humbly approach him with prayer. Then make your request known. Know that the prayer for a new car is so useless as to be about as effective as Jesse Jackson with healing racial divide. Those prayers which serve kingdom building will be answered. Not necessarily in the manner you want..."Father God Please make me CEO of this company and give me a big raise"actually may come back as "Ya know dad, I love you and what you are doing here, I'm glad you stayed here where you have more time to share with me."

I don't know, I'm no Oracle, I just trust. I don't think God is a liar, and to me that makes his word true. So he either is truthful and will execute on his word or he's lying and I'm pretty certain surrendering to the fact that Jesus is real puts you in the first camp.

So men, don't ask as much as you did. Ask of some things, "Lord send me the wife you have created for me." But on things that you have authority over, learn to give orders. "Satan, you have no authority over my daughter. I command the spirit of defiance and of self doubt to flee, in the name of Jesus, and I command and pray a line of the blood of Christ Jesus around this child. No harm shall come to her in the name of Jesus."

Stand up and learn what our NCO's in the Army already know. They have authority, they use it. They give an order and it is followed. They waste no more time on it and move on to the next task. Well most of them do...Guys like Bobby and Nate stand around and argue some, but for the most part they git er dun!

So you do the same

Move out, CM...

Praise report: although I continue to have multiple stones in each kidney, I have no serious blockage or kidney damage, and I gave birth to this little fella this morning. 4.7mm per my dial caliper here at work. There is no greater feeling of relief and satisfaction than getting rid of something you didn't even know was causing pain. The lack of pain is like waking up after your best day at work, home, winning the lottery, best cup of coffee ever, kid won a scholarship and you got a raise at work. the image is not for the faint of heart.

My youngest is going in for a basic surgery Friday morning. (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170322/e3a696598830685567b9ca206d87b094.jpg) going to have his tonsils and adenoids removed, the boys is strong and I am sure he will do fine.

New Prayer Request:

Robert Blout...My wife's Uncle (That makes him my uncle as well, right?)

He's in the hospital...Enlarged prostrate, can't urinate...has gout...got a kidney problem which is getting better

Get this: He is 97!

More...

He was an actual Army Ranger from WW2!!!!!!!!!!

Well, mostly...The Rangers were seeking volunteers from amongst the troops at the time. He, a qualified infantryman, volunteered and was sent to Ranger training in England. He earned the patch, graduating from the course, but then asked to be sent back to his original infantry unit to fight with the friends he had enlisted with from Cincinnati, his and their home. His request was granted and he instantly became the most highly qualified grunt in his company, where over time he rose in rank. I believe he finished as a master Sergeant, with multiple decorations.

Hit the beach on D-Day and fought until the very end of the war as a grunt. Steely eyed killer, that one, but never, never talks about it. He was doing push-ups every day right up to this year. Lives and has lived in a small mobile home his whole life. Never took, nor asked for much. He is a real deal man from our greatest generation.

Please lift him up for healing and mending and in the name of Jesus, we bind up the spirit of sickness and suffering. They shall have no dominion over this warrior.

I want to stand beside a 100 year old combat Ranger in a few years!

She came through surgery great, but they kept her overnight.

Got her around 1530 today, she was waiting in the chair as I drove up and hopped right in! She can't tell yet but I thought she was doing a little better. Then she went to Costco on her own to get samples (that is a weekly outing for her)

Update, this started yesterday.

Mom was due to have her checkup for the pace maker. Well, she ended up in the ER first thing in the AM for shortness of breath, ending up having a mild pneumonia.

Blood tests came back messed up so transferred to another hospital for more tests. During the test an artery tears with stints and BP goes under 60. She may have had a mild stroke, but seems OK now asking for them to call me and wanted a puzzle book. Dr said it as touch and go for a few minutes.

She is now in ICU and I am off to see her.

Prayers requested for my cousins son.

He is 16 and has been battling muscular dystrophy. He has been confined to a wheelchair for about 5 years now. Yesterday he was on his way to the doctors office to get some help with this flu like bug going around. My cousin thought he had fallen asleep in his chair on the car ride. Turns out he was unconscious and not breathing. They started compressions and were able to get his heart going but not able to breathe on his own. He was taken via ambulance to the nearest hospital where he was then taken by life flight to Texas children's hospital.

Upon arriving he went into cardiac arrest where they again gave compressions and were able to stabilize his heart.... about 1am his heart stopped again. They were able to establish a normal rhythm, but as of last I heard he was still unconscious and unable to breathe on his own. At this time they are unsure as to whether or not there has been any brain damage or not. They have not been able to keep his heart stable long enough to do a brain scan.

It is in God's hands and I know that regardless of the outcome it is all part of his plan. I pray that He bring comfort to the parents, grandparents, and siblings in this difficult time. I pray that He ease any pain or suffering Caleb may be feeling. I pray His will be done.

I'm sorry to hear this. Did Caleb know our Lord? Is he dancing with him this very moment :-) ?

I somehow think that he did,

Amidst the sorrow, try and not focus on our loss, but instead on his gain!

Glory! Glory!

Don, I would like to believe he knew our Lord and is now getting to know Him better than we here on earth can. He was raised on The Word for sure, and his parents provided him all the "tools" to have a strong walk with God.

Being around him I always felt inspired. Even with through his struggles with MD he never showed weakness mentally or spiritually. Seeing him reminded me that no matter the problems I was facing I could overcome them as long as I accept that God has the master plan, as he had. I thank God for the years that he blessed our lives with Caleb, and for the lessons that God taught me through him.


Thank you all for your prayers and kind words. They are much appreciated. God Bless.

Chevsilver I am sorry for Caleb's passing. I always struggle with things like this wondering how I was so blessed when people such as Caleb and his family had such a difficult road. I take solace that the plan will be revealed to me someday and I will understand. My prayers and blessings for you all as you mourn his passing. He is in a better place.

JR continued prayers for your mom. Stay strong.

Been lifting all up- hope to hear updates as available.

I need to add our good friend Jane H. In Arizona to the list.  Diagnosed with stage 4 Kidney Cancer and has choosen to forego treatment.  She and her husband Gil are HUGE Cubs fans, so hopefully she'll get to see them in the Series this fall; She has been given 6-8 months without treatment.

Asking for strength for them both and freedom from pain for her-

Update on Jane:

She lost her battle this morning around 3:15am Arizona time.  Prayers for her husband Gil who's been her steadfast husband and caregiver through it all!  Jane & Gil sold me my second competition Brittany and adopted me and my family with that deal!  More like family than friends; the most accepting, supportive and caring people I know.  Ice cold Budweiser long-necks were something we relished and shared together, and there's not been a time since we met, that I don't think of Jane when I see or consume one and think of all the good times, laughs and giggles we shared together.  Harry Carry's voice saying the phrase "enjoy an ice cold Budweiser" bounced around in my head often when we were doing so...... :beercheers:

Jane got to see her beloved Cubs finally win a World Series - loved that team and ballpark so much that they named one of their most competitive Brittanys "Wrigley" who sired the pup they sold me that started our relationship.  When Wrigley passed, a mutual friend got us on the field during warm-ups - this was the season they'd reach the play-offs directly after the "Bartman" incident.  I snuck some of his ashes past security and sprinkled them behind home plate to "chase the goat" which Jane got such a giggle out of.  Took awhile, but got the job done, and she was thrilled and lucid to see them win the Series and all the fan fare.  I wonder if she "held out" just to witness the ring ceremony Wednesday?

She's with the Lord, this I know- God's Speed until we see you again Jane!

Glad to hear Mike!

So I got one to add.
My buddy Tony is going in for a kidney transplant on he 20th.
He's been fighting the losing battle for quite a few years now.
He's good, has a living donor, his soon to be mother in law so it has been planned.
He was hoping to make summer but his kidney function hit 8% a couple months ago and the transplant was moved ahead.
He knows our Lord, and I know he can use any help we can give him.
So if you fine men can add him to your prayers.

My wife has had some struggles with depression and anxiety in the past.  The first time was about 7 or 8 years ago.  With the help of some counseling she was able to get over it for the most part.  Then about 3 years ago the anxiety came back.  At the time I was having some fairly major health issues which resulted in a few weeks in the hospital and a couple months of recovery time.  It was just all to much for her.  Again she was able to talk to somebody and had been doing really well for the last couple of years.

Recently she has been having a lot of anxiety again.  I don't think it is truly post-partum depression but it is focused around some of the struggles with caring for out little girl.  She has sought out some counseling again but she doesn't feel that the person she is talking to is the right person though so she is trying to find somebody else.  She is putting herself through a lot between the anxiety she feels when my daughter is being difficult to the extreme guilt she feels afterwards.  On days where she is feeling overly stressed/ anxious she will send me a note asking for me to pray for her that day.  If you all might join in it would be appreciated.

You can fix this yourself!

Anxiety and depression are spirits

You control spirits through the authority God gave us through Jesus.

Go get this book and read it quick:

https://www.christianbook.com/the-believers-authority-kenneth-hagin/9780892764068/pd/64061?dv=%7Bdevice%7D&en=google&event=SHOP&kw=christian-living-0-20%7C64061&p=1179710&gclid=CKG3l-OEsdMCFciKswodcSoBLA

Once you get what it says, simply apply the authority you already have over your wife AND BELIEVE IT!

Do that and her problem will be gone

Psa 94:19 When my anxious thoughts multiply within me, Your consolations delight my soul.
Phil 4:6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.

Anxiety is a lack of faith and or a doubt of certainty in one's position with the Lord and is a sin.  A sin which we all commit at some time or another.  A demon spirit cannot possess a child of God.  Lead your family through strength and through the authority given you in the word.  Prayers sent.

A friend of mine is just turned 40 and was diagnosed with COPD. He lived pretty hard. Drinking and smoking heavily. He had several minor heart attacks in his 20s and figured he would drop dead any day.  So he just partied all through his 30s. Now he's with a good woman with plans to get married. He's reconnected with his daughter in her early teens. I pray this is finally enough to turn him around. His family has lots of health issues but I believe this is probably self inflicted.
Got more bad news about my wifes aunt. The one in Ohio that we had to go clean out her house last month. She has Brest cancer. Don't have all the details but chemo is not an option. They are going to try some new thing.

So, here's my prayer for her:

Sovereign father, Jehovah Gyria, I petition thee to place knowledge on this afflicted woman and her family. Show them, Father God that they have authority over infirmity bought by the sacrifice and covered by the blood of our savior. We love you Lord and thank you for loving us. We acknowledge and thank you that you gave us such tools to actually minister to ourselves and over those we take authority over as it was set to be in the heavenly realms. Show her and her husband and other family members that sickness is a conquered foe, that we can control such things, although seeming to be miraculous, really just a part of your wonderful plan for us. As the head in heaven rules over the body here in earthly places, the body has hands and feet and fingers and a mouth to do that which the head has given authority to do. Father in the name of Jesus, give this revelation to these people, in the name of precious Jesus I ask it, amen.

Heavenly Father, I lift up Bear's wife and entire family to you.  Please provide her Your peace and comfort.  Lead this family to the right person that You have ordained to help them.

Father, I lift up Jon's friend with health issues.  Please place people in his path to minister to him by example and lead him to a knowledge of You.  Also, Lord, please provide comfort for his aunt with cancer.  We don't know your plan Lord, but submit, knowing that You will reveal it in Your time.

Father, I lift up Dave and his recovery to you. 

Father, we don't always understand what we are going through or why but You know.  Father, You have already given us everything we need in the Holy Spirit.  Give us the faith to realize that and empower Him in our lives.  Please make it plan to us the people that we should be ministering to as we go through issues in our lives because someone is watching us, looking for you.  Thank you for your Grace.

You are enough.  Amen

Bear I will absolutely say some words for her. Let me also add (which she may well know) that lots of therapists aren't worth jack ****. If she's not getting good results she needs to find another one pronto. A bad one who isn't helping can exacerbate the bad as she may say to herself "she can't be fixed or helped" and that's an awful burden added to the other stuff she's struggling with. IMO she needs to keep looking until she finds one that is good. Also there are some good mess for anxiety that can be a help for her in the interim period. Some are SSRI's and some aren't so it's worth looking there as well. Not that it fixes the underlying concerns but it might help her be open to other healing. I look at it like pain mess allowing the body to relax enough to heal from an injury. Good luck. Prayers definitely sent your way.

Two to add to the list:

Found out my son in Oregon was fired from his job for causing an accident (driving tow truck) and on top of that, his landlord has been collecting rent, but not paying property taxes, so Sheriff's sale is eminent and he and his roomate need to move ASAP with dog and all their toys.  So out of work, about to be out on the street and other issues are deepening his psychological issues enough to worry his sister and I.

Basically she has a 90% blockage on the right artery up to the carodid. 95% oxy saturation. When they cleared the left side and she had the stroke.

She (and I) is getting tired of it all and we looking at options. She is at a fix it or end it mind set and DNR has come up.

Just hoping for the best guys with what we have been dealt.

Good news from my uncle.  No head trauma or internal injuries.  During surgery they found that he only popped his knee out of the joint.  They put it back in place and I believe installed some hardware to keep it there while the ACL and MCL heal.  He has 2 broken ribs (1 on each side).  They need to do some more x-rays/ mri on his ankle, shoulder and elbow.  A few sutures above an eye and in his check I think.  He is my Dad's youngest sibling, so he isn't that old just yet and should be able to recover.  He was awake, alert and joking around with my cousins this morning already.  Once they get his ankle xray and figure out what is going on with it they will be starting therapy already.

Nobody is really certain exactly what happened, but all things considered he got of pretty lucky.  Could have been much worse.

Guys, we lost a soldier on my Army National Guard unit. SGT Thomas died on this past Monday, 29MAY2017, in a tank rollover accident while training at NTC. The other 3 members of the crew are pretty banged up, but alive. Please keep this young Soldier, his family, and the unit in your prayers through this difficult time. A lot of us on this forum have served, and know that it is always tough to lose a comrade, especially to a training accident. Please pray that his unit, which is only half way through their NTC rotation, remains vigilant, and does not allow this unfortunate event to cause any further accidents through distraction. God bless this young man for serving his nation proudly, and give his fellows the strength to learn from this event. Lord, be with SGT Thompson's family, as they struggle to understand how this could happen during training. Amen.

Just noticed the post count on this thread is growing, one day I hope to see it pass ol SD and we continue to remember the lord has his hands in all things. 
This Sunday will be my first time back in a church meeting house In a good long while and why I know the lord and I have felt the absence in my life I am really looking forward to meeting some ok friends and seeing new faces.  That scout issue left a very sour taste in my mouth and it's time to rinse it out with Christ and the good word.

As always I am appreciative of you guys and the example you each lead. 

God bless you and your friends and family and this loved and lost.

Dave I've never felt one had to go to an organized Church to know God. But for me I find the sharing of stories a help and also I like seeing when a committed group of people come together what they can do to make positive changes. So for me church works, although it has taken a few different locations to find one that worked.
Title: Re: Prayer Request thread
Post by: Flyin6 on June 03, 2017, 12:58:00 PM
Its interesting to note that the term church refers to a body of people...Like the one here on this web site

Oftentimes people think it is physical structure. I call that a church building, something that the church occupies and comes together to worship our king.

If you have 500 people meeting in a building every sunday for ten years worshiping

Then one wednesday the building falls into a sinkhole (Real possibility in the tuck)

But the following sunday those 500 people meet on nearby solid ground and worship

From God's perspective, what changed?

Post by: Bigdave_185 on June 03, 2017, 05:24:49 PM
I hadn't thought of that, or this for hat matter, a congregation of I think like fifty people who have same beliefs can be called a religion. Interesting idea for sure

I like the community and social along with the spiritual, I lost the here in my current location but the new house will be my old stomping grounds, people who I have known my hole life.

It's funny you say that Don. The church we go to is an old structure from the 1800's. But it's not historically accurate as the hurricane of '38 took off the steeple. Now it's just a drafty building with high expenses. When I was the treasurer I kept telling the vestry we needed to burn it down and rebuild. People would have fits when I said that, and I would bring up the exact example you did (well....not quite I used fire instead of a sinkhole). But they couldn't wrap their heads around the fact that without a building we would be just as much a church as with the one we have.

I absolutely hate going to church. I believe in God and our saivior Jesus Christ.  I was raised Catholic. My brothers and I had to be alter boys Saturday night service AND Sunday morning because nobody else wanted to do it. Then I started Catholic school in 10th grade. We had mass at school twice a week. I had enough. My first wife was Lutheran so I switched. The preacher was a major pain the butt. I never met a man so helpless. There's. Mouse in the trap. My light bulb is turned out. My pickup won't start. I have a flat tire. I had to go to all that stuff because my boss was a trustee. Then I got tired of the wispers behind my back and pretty much just quit going. There are some prissy hags in that church. Wispering they wore the same clothes last week. Then I was told I needs to give %13 of my income to the church? Um no.

Havi g said all that I do sent my kids to Sunday school because I believe it's important for them to learn about the bible. My wife being southern Baptist (her grandfather was fire and brimstone preacher) does a good job teaching the boys how important it is to pray.

Mike,
OK this is going to be tough. You are now entering another season of your life, but only a season.
Tough because it is going to press you in directions you have perhaps never seen before.
Now doctors are going to come up with plans. Treatments, possibly radiation, surgery, and stuff that can cause hair loss. That may be the right answer, I don't know. In fact I don't understand the whole medical process.
But here's what I do know. Jesus is the great physician.
So I would ask you to get deep, like deeper than you ever have been with God before. Have him search your sould and identify anything you need to repent of. Identify anyone or anything you need to forgive. My point is to not minimize this at all and get righteous and get right with your God and his son.
From that point the spirit can work in you. Then I want you to pray to understand the power that Jesus left with us when he resurected his son. You have the power to claim healing, to actually take authority over infirmity. I am not joking, we can do that. Ask for the filling of the holy spirit and try to speak in the prayer language.
If you get that, or you can already then speak in it 4-5 times a day and just let the spirit talk to his God. He will ask of the father what you need better than we can form words to put to it.
There is a woman, Abby Abildness...Find her on the web and contact her. Cleans yourself and make God 1000 times more important than you ever have before. Most importantly if you have religion in your life get rid of it!
Yes, cast it out. Religion is of man, not of the lord. The lord opened the door to direct communication to him when he tore the veil in the holiest of holies on that terrible/wonderful when our Jesus died on that dogwood tree.
You get this right, and you can take command over this season. It can become a season of spiritual growth and learning, not one of sickness and thoughts of death.
Sorry to be blunt, not my desire at all. We have a relationship. I have watched you quietly do the lord's work behind the scenes, so I know your heart is right. But PLEASE, shake off the baptist...Throw away the catholic, shed the lutheran, and kick the methodist along with the mormon and any other organized interpretation of man and just get with him.

James:1 2-7
2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters,[a] whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3 because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. 4 Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. 5 If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you. 6 But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. 7 That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord.

Romans 12:12 ►
Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.

Adding a good friend Mike, he is having a very risky open heart surgery on Thursday of this week. I realize all open heart surgeries are risky but this is deep back by his spine. Six months ago it was going to involve six separate surgeries. With advances in technology it's down to one as of Thursday. I don't know his current state with Christ. I have reached out to him in a very blunt fashion about this subject this morning. I awoke thinking heavily about him and then he texted me about his surgery. I figure that was a sign I needed to reach out to him.

Update: as I wrote this his wife sent me the text below

"Mike let me read your text.  You are amazing!  You said so many things that are good for Mike to hear!  He will be texting you later after he figures out how to respond to you.  He doesn't know I am sending this.  Don't saything please!"

Last I knew his wife was an atheist, maybe no longer after that above text?

So with that stated please pray for his acceptance of Christ. Also, I ask for you to pray for me to find the correct words and speak Christ's truth to him. In addition if you could pray for a safe surgery for him that would be great as well.

God Bless

Shawn, any update on Mike and your conversation?

Nothing today, yesterday he came back late with the "I believe in God and always figured I'm a good person" line of thinking.

And I called him on that quicker than spotting Ken with an H bumper sticker!!!!

In all seriousness though I acknowledged his thought process and told him unfortunately being a good person is great but it's not the going to be enough. I substantiated it with scripture and told him I was here for him. I told him this group of knuckleheads would be praying for him in his surgery and also for him to open his heart, no pun intended.

Another part of his argument was that the messengers have always seemed to screw this up IE: Churches and I agreed with him and assured him I didn't need a 10% donation. I even offered to set him up with the one great pastor I knew if he had time.

So no response to that yet, I liken this to a gut punch because I tend to believe I may be the only person around him that would say these things to him. Him and I have a long history and he knows I truly care about him. He did acknowledge I am one of the few he truly trusts and I think that in of itself was a positive. So I think he is trying to process all of this, I hope that is the case.

He responded this morning with a text. He's fairly stressed and his mind is working overtime.

He has been praying, I think that is a positive. Knowing I may not hear from him again I responded with the verse John 3:16 and the simple message that verse conveys which is God sent his son here to earth to die a horrible death on a cross for our sins. If we accept that as truth with our mouths and in our heart we are saved.

I then included the sinners prayer or prayer of salvation. I told him if he is praying then you're 9/10's the way there already.

The message was finished letting him know that a bunch of sorry sinners he had never met were asking for updates on him wanting to know how they could pray for him as they were concerned about his health and soul.


Update: he just responded back "thanks Shawn, I can accept that"

Thank you guys for everything.

This may sound selfish, but just reading through all the responses and posts on here for Shawn's friend Mike, whom I'm guessing most of you have never and will never meet really makes me feel good and glad that I found this forum. It's very encouraging and strengthening to be even a small part of it. Thanks to all and prayers to Shawn, mike, and his wife as well as all of you.

Title: Re: Prayer Request thread
Post by: stlaser on August 25, 2017, 08:33:00 AM
Last update I received was around 11:30 their time last night. He was moved into ICU, reflex test on left leg was good. It was however inconclusive on his right leg. They were going to try and wake him last night. Possibly pull vent & confirm his right leg. According to my wife with sedation that can take awhile for your limbs to respond coming out of it.

He was in surgery for 12.5 hours. They grafted bypasses on both sides of his heart. His aorta was so inflamed it was the size of a bicep & normally it is 1.5" OD. My wife stated that was a ticking time bomb & when it goes the only sign is some back pain and death usually takes an hour so by the time they find out what's going on your dead. So he's lucky & or blessed we feel that they got in there in time.

He did have an aneurism in his abdomen but the surgeon was not concern with it at this time. He was stable throughout the entire operation which was good.

All in all it sounds pretty good knowing how extreme of a surgery he went through yesterday. Continued prayers for full recovery. When I know more I'll update.

We all know huricanes are not good but this one is hitting close to home. My brother is stuck riding this one out. Luckily he was able to move his family to a friend's house that is way more fortified than his rental. He works at home depot and said they sold out of plywood by Tuesday. Also by Tuesday morning the roads were backed up from people fleeing south Florida. Gas stations were already running out. He said they would have had to leave last sunday but no way they could afford to out of work for over a week so they waited and prayed. Sounds like they will be taking a direct hit. He said everything is insured so we are hoping and praying for the best. This is where he is. Near Tarpon Springs. His house is in Clearwater.

I need some prayers for my boss. He had a small stroke yesterday morning. He didn't show up to work so we went to check on him. He lives right across the road from me. Something was obviously wrong but he kept saying he was fine. I had to lie to him to get him to the hospital. I told him I think he has the flu and needs a shot.
I ask for your prayers for a speedy recovery. He will be in the hospital for a few days. We also need your prayers for my brother and I to have the strength and patience to help this stubborn stubborn man. He is 70 year old bachlor. Never married. No kids and no siblings. I've been here 16 years. We are his only family. He does not understand the meaning of the word no. He does what he wants when he wants.

Prayers for your boss Jon, for the record all of us should know the signs and symptoms for a stroke. If you act fast enough they have medicine available that will reverse all the affects of a stroke entirely. However, it is a very short window of time to administer those meds, couple hours if I recall correctly.

His BP has been stable & he is set to most likely go home & finish recouping their with home nurses coming into assist. His wife Dawn has been really stressed out I have been told so prayers for her and a quick recovery for Mike. They were thinking he would have to go ltac route versus going home so that is a positive.

Man, had a crappy weekend.

My sunday school teacher and very good friend Tom Cramer died suddenly Saturday. Was passing a farm tractor on his harley when the driver turned left. He went under the batwing, died instantly.

Tom was one anointed man of God. A wonderful guy, he had traveled the holy places many times and when he taught the word, he would describe what this place or that looked like, what it smelled like, what it felt like. He had been a door gunner in a UH-1 in Vietnam and won a bronze star.

I have to work during church doing the security thing so Tom's class early morning was my church. I feel like a big void has opened up, like I don't know what's up. I went to his class anyway this morning and just sat there. Everyone did as well. I guess I will keep going there until God sends someone else to teach the word to us.

He helped found the church, and was a elder or deacon or whatever we call those guys for 36 years. He was a hell raiser who found Jesus then the next day started witnessing to men. He never stopped doing that.

His wife has not shed a tear yet. It hasn't hit home for her yet. They married right after high school. He is the only man she ever knew. She is going to crash hard, hell, we all are.

Prayers for that family and all those affected by this untimely and sudden passing of a beloved friend and man of God.

I don't need any words please, just a silent prayer for that family please...

Minor request:

Preparing to perform minor surgery on the Dmax and I’ve got this guy named MURPHY who lives in my garage!  Leaving next Friday for Arkansas pulling the camper behind, so I really need the truck in top functionality. About to replace faulty #7 glow plug and really don’t need it snapping off!  Bought special kit from Merchant Auto which uses air chisel attachment to lightly tap while you apply rotating force with a wrench on the socket extension.

Praying for an uneventful day in the garage with Murphy away visiting relatives!  Also for safe travels and relaxation while in Arkansas over Thanksgiving.

I have a request.

An unnamed member of this site is struggling. His wife just got an abnormal report from a recent scan. They are concerned. Jesus is the master physician.

We are mandated by Jesus to love our neighbor like ourselves. We express that love through prayer to the father. He wants to see his system work where his children help one another and come to him for comfort and reassurance and with all requests, great and small.

I lift her up in the name of my friend, Jesus.

Jesus, THE CHRIST, Son of God, by whom all things were brought into this world, your ways are not like our ways and we will never know, in time on this earth, your perfect and holy plan.  I ask that your will be done and that if it is to heal, heal.  If not, I pray that you provide comfort because we know that you will never place more upon us than we are able to deal with by the grace that you give.  And that in some way this is for Your glory and our witness and may we have the strength to praise you in adversity just as in health and prosperity, AMEN.

I know the place. South of Gardez. Getting kind of high up in the hills and is actually pretty in a couple of places there.
On the road there it is something to see from the air. I would fly up and down the MSR at about 500 feet. Enough time for me to jink when getting shot at, but also a good altitude to bring my mini-guns to bear. Along that road, I named it "IED Highway"

There is not much distance between the black circles where some vehicle burned up after getting hit. I'd say, maybe 200 meters between burned circles or burned out hulks of trucks. If you read my book, I wrote of a day I was cruising north when a convoy of fuel tankers got hit. It was at that place. I saw the blossom of flame maybe 20 miles off and banked hard toward the flash. Then a second and a third. I was so dammed angry that I couldn't get there in time. I had a fully armed gunship and could have possibly killed those bastards and saved some folks. I wanted to shoot them so bad.

I don't understand it, and I hate it. I just give that one over to our father because, I really don't get the why part of all of that.

Your stepson was a brave man to walk that land. It was an area of frequent fighting. I feel for your loss. I bit of me and every other soldier who served there died there with each of ours that we left behind.

My sincere condolences

Don,

Thank you.

Bret was on a small kill team to get the people that planted the IED along that road. They inserted at night and once it started to get light they saw that they where expossed so the fell back to find a better place to set up and found what they thought was a safe place between an old mud hut and a almost 90 deg cliff. they set a primater but most of it towards the hut away from the cilff. Well those people came up the cliff and started firing killing 3. One of the soilder was able employ a morter on the bad guys as they went back down the cliff killing all of them. The other soilders told us that Bret was killed instantly. They told us that it was a 1 in a million hit, went in under his arm traveled through the chest and missed the body armor completely. Bret was able to save one of his soilders the week before his death when the soilder was hit in the arm during a fire fight. We draw peace from knowing that he didn't suffer, he was doing what he loved and he knew Jesus and is home with him now. Thank for your service I will look for your book and give it a read.

I have been tardy adding one. My wife had surgery yesterday to remove a bone chip in the outside edge of her left foot.  She was home last night doing fine.  That thing was the size of a pencil eraser and imbedded in the tendon.  She has to be off it for 6 weeks. No touching the floor. I have 2 weeks time off to help thankfully.

I have been privy to some high level conversations in large construction industry up here, avg age in most of these industries is 50.Electricians, plumbers, framers, concrete you name it, aging out.    this leads to a soon to be shortage of workers up here in Utah which would be a good time to jump into the pot and be at the top of the pile when the tip top falls off so to speak.
I was led to my contractor through good means that gave me sweeping peace when I first shook his hand. I told the wife this was going to be our builder and everything has fallen into place from there like it was “meant to be” 


Current working environment has continued to become more toxic to my soul. Boring to my brain. I mentioned this a time or two to said contractor and he came at me with a job offer Thursday eve And an open ended timeline to decide what I want, he is all for me finishing my degree, willing to let me use this as a long term or short term goal or a stepping stone to finish school.

It goes back to my conversation with a lady on our family trip, about needing to help youth learn a trade, hard work, working with your hands is good and worthy job. 
While I excel in my current position I think that it could be a later endeavor in my life.  Not required for right now.
My physical body is craving physical work.

It feels right, it seems to easy and causing me to second guess my feelings and that is what I find troubling.   Things don’t happen easy for me to often. Much work produces much reward is usually how it goes

My experience & our paths are somewhat similar & framing is a young mans game. Not to mention from an economic standpoint we're do for downturn in housing at some point I think. Manufacturing has ups & downs but development is always pretty steady. Once you gain that MBA the higher management not middle to low are attainable. I'd say look long term.....
Title: Re: Prayer Request thread
Post by: TexasRedNeck on January 13, 2018, 10:50:23 AM
I'm with Shawn (did I say that??)  take a longer term view.

Make sure you keep your family's needs in mind too.  I'd love to do something different and work with my hands too, but I can't in good conscience walk away from the money I make until my job of getting the kids grown and on their feet is done.  Thus why I work with my hands every chance I get on the weekends.

Degrees and advanced degrees are not a bad thing, but a 40 year harvard study showed that all things being equal, emotional intelligence is the biggest key to success.  Invest in yourself and consider a personal coach.  In any field, being the best, and surviving any downturn means being better than those around you.  You don't have to outrun the bear, you just have to outrun the rest of your group.

Learn how whatever you do helps the company make profit and then innovate to drive more profit.  You'll rise quickly and be considered irreplaceable.

So think about where you can be 5-10 years from now and what the income potential is for the job/role/path you decide to take.  Money is not everything but when you have a family to support, its an important part of your role.

I would guess many of us here are of a like mind, we like to use our hands.  Further I would guess most of us feel a sense of accomplishment at the end of the day when you can look at something you made/ built.  At the end of a long, hard physically demanding day where I have built something with my own hands I'm exhausted, my body tired, my muscles sour but my soul happy.

I currently spend most of my work day in front of a computer screen.  Even after a busy day where I know I have accomplished a great deal/ completed important tasks, I do not feel as accomplished as the days I work with my hands at home.  It does not help that the union has a heavy presence at my factory which limits the amount of hand on work I can do to nearly zero.  That is why I started my own side business.  It gives me the sense of accomplishment I need and some extra funds to buy a new gun, or take the family on vacation without dipping into the normal budget.

Being in a similar field, I would not recommend an MBA.  That is unless you want to jump more into the business side of things which I don't sense is what you desire.  If that is the case I would recommend you switch to Mechanical Engineering.  I know many "manufacturing engineers" with mechanical degrees. I also know many people with mechanical engineering degrees in quality, supple management, project management, etc...  Most people I know with manufacturing degrees have manufacturing jobs or are somehow affiliated with the day-to-day grind in the factory.

At the very least I would wait until you find yourself a job in your new field before continuing.  Many good companies will pay for a large percentage of continuing education.  When that time comes look into the University of Madison's Department of Engineering Professional Development courses.  I am sure other schools have similar programs but UW is well known for these courses.

I feel like I am starting to ramble here.  I feel like I could fill a couple pages on the subject.  If you ever want to discuss more let me know.

I'm with Shawn (did I say that??)  take a longer term view.

Make sure you keep your family's needs in mind too.  I'd love to do something different and work with my hands too, but I can't in good conscience walk away from the money I make until my job of getting the kids grown and on their feet is done.  Thus why I work with my hands every chance I get on the weekends.

Degrees and advanced degrees are not a bad thing, but a 40 year harvard study showed that all things being equal, emotional intelligence is the biggest key to success.  Invest in yourself and consider a personal coach.  In any field, being the best, and surviving any downturn means being better than those around you.  You don't have to outrun the bear, you just have to outrun the rest of your group.

Learn how whatever you do helps the company make profit and then innovate to drive more profit.  You'll rise quickly and be considered irreplaceable.

So think about where you can be 5-10 years from now and what the income potential is for the job/role/path you decide to take.  Money is not everything but when you have a family to support, its an important part of your role.

Interesting enough we have a book on emotional intelligence on our mantle at home currently.

These two above have some really good points Dave.

I worked for a small family owned company while I built my businesses. There were many days I was stuck in the office, however being a small company I wore many hats. When I started it was a start up & I started at the bottom. There wasn’t anything but a bottom, lol. However, now being gone three years almost I guarantee I could go back there today and still be the most productive guy in that shop. Being that guy allowed me diversity and we weren’t union so it broke up the monotony. Maybe a career change isn’t what you need but a detour angling off would be better? If I had stayed in the immediate area there were many options for me with employment because of my reputation. As they say everyday you are interviewing for your next position.

Dave. TRN is spot on. It really depends on whether you want to work for a company or work for yourself. I have always worked for someone else but always in the back on my mind wanted to work for myself. (Batch concrete or Dustless Blasting business as examples). But I have always made too much money working for someone to walk away and my wife of 20 years never worked outside the house so healthcare was always a concern for family. So as I am 59 now and still looking at another 10 years of working for someone. The window for doing something different is slim to none.

My point is that you are young and appear to have the money issue (wife makes the money) handled so you have flexibility to do what you want. You never know when that could change.

Hope it all works out for you.

I think it is good for a man to work with his hands
I struggled with that concept all the years I piloted jets and helicopters. I worked all of my off time with my hands, and today, I find my ultimate peace working hard on my farm.

Colossians 3:23
23 Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters,

Psalm 90:17
17 May the favor of the Lord our God rest on us; establish the work of our hands for us— yes, establish the work of our hands.

Proverbs 14:23
23 All hard work brings a profit, but mere talk leads only to poverty.

2 Timothy 2:6
6 The hardworking farmer should be the first to receive a share of the crops.

1 thessalonians 4:11
and to make it your ambition to lead a quiet life: You should mind your own business and work with your hands, just as we told you,

2 Thessalonians 3:10-12 For even when we were with you, we would give you this command:  If anyone is not willing to work, let him not eat. For we hear that some among you walk in idleness, not busy at work, but busybodies. Now such persons we command and encourage in the Lord Jesus Christ to do their work quietly and to earn their own living

Proverbs 14:23  In all toil there is profit, but mere talk  tends only to poverty.

Ephesians 4:28 Let the thief no longer steal, but rather let him labor, doing honest work with his own hands, so that he may have something to share with anyone in need.

Hey guys. Please lift up my nephew this week. My sister has fallen back into a very dark space and currently has a no contact order with him due to her drug abuse. Very long story, but her refusal to address her issues to be able to see him has left him very sad and broken He's 10, and was in the ER last night after going into a blind rage screaming he wanted to kill everyone and himself, currently waiting on psych eval, but we all know he's just hurting and lashing out, but this needs help now. Mental stuff is hard, and I'm not any good at it but GOD is and I have faith He'll give us all guidance here.

I'm too upset with my sister to pray for her myself, so please pray for me to find forgiveness and help for her too.

Update: He's verbally acknowledged he doesn't actually want to hurt anyone including himself, he's just so mad he feels like he's the only one that's hurting and it's not fair that no one else is...  :cry:

Praise report:

Don, Update
Friends-
Just so I won’t have to write a post op update about a hundred times I can report complete success. I had went through some sort of meniscus monopoly thing with holes, removals missing parts and a general cleanin’ up of things and it turned out great and I feel great! The additional procedure that Kathy had arranged to be performed while I was under a TBR (Total Brain Replacement) was, according to her a complete success as well. Not sure why she said that, but when I awoke I immediately handed all the credit cards to her, then told her I’d catch up with her in a few hours over at Dillard’s in the handbag section…Strange, but hey!
What I think is most important to note is what God almighty just did here. All too often we gloss over these sorts of things and just say, “Wow, I wonder how all that happened.” And in that, we fail to notice what REALLY happened. I was sitting right in the middle of me the entire time, so I got to see it all first hand.
Most of you do not know, but I am involved in a “project,” which has been steadily advancing and picking up speed. Suddenly about two weeks ago we started to clear obstacles and were looking down the barrel at some heavy duty briefings for some lofty folks. I was busy building stuff at the farm, family, me, and the church and not fully dedicated to the project.
Then I got a “Pause.” Right in the middle of all that, my knee fell apart. MRI later clearly showed a meniscus tear which the doctor described as the worse one can have on one side and a darned good one on the other. Only infants recover, so I was stuck with immobility and pain for the next how many years I would live…Not good…Or was it?
You see, I was then pretty much parked at my desk, where, I could make a choice. Have fun playing or buckle down on the project. Well, I began to pray and read his word. Joshua 1-6, John 14-16, Hebrews 11 and really search the word. I learned much and along with that the project’s obstacles started to yield. That’s a longer story, so in the spirit of Reader’s Digest, I got closer to the Lord, and my commitment to this work compounded.
The pain was not abating so Kat took me directly to an orthopedic center. I met a doctor on either Friday or a Monday, took an MRI in a day, which was read the following Thursday, either 3-4 days later. He told me the news Thursday night at 1745, and said although he did not like to operate, He would definitely recommend in this case.
Jokingly I said, “OK, Doc, let’s do it tomorrow.” He immediately answered, “OK, tomorrow!” VERY MUCH to my surprise. With no prep, no schedule, nothing other than a couple of phone calls I was in the hospital at around 1300, operated on probably around 1500 and home by 1830. The operation was a complete success, and I awoke around 0630 this morning and was working by 7!
The doctor, speaking with me just prior to going back to the OR said that it was rare how this all worked out, but a good think.
So, Luck? Circumstances? Or a living God who according to the opening lines in both Psalm 97 and 99 simply states, “He reigns”
I give all the credit for how this operation to my Lord and savior. I credit as well all those who petitioned him in prayer. “The prayer of the Righteous availeth much.
James 5:16 King Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
Praise and glory to my lord, blessings and love for all my friends!

I happen to agree. Kids are turning into lost souls without a religious foundation. I get the impression that it's also mainstream/hip to belittle"Bible thumpers" now, where as 20 years ago, neither athiests nor Christians attacked each other for their beliefs (as often). Just my perspective

Hey guys, just found out yesterday morning that my wife’s brother died the night before. It was unexpected, he had been battling issues with bipolar and alcoholism. We aren’t sure on the cause of death yet. His wife found him around midnight outside their front door, he had already passed. He had a nightly ritual of going outside and drinking and doing whatever he needed to self medicate. Bad situation, but he isn’t in pain anymore. He’s got one eight year old son who is taking it well so far.  Anyway, if you guys could lift up his son and wife and the rest of my wife’s family, it would be appreciated. We are going to be driving down to Alabama which is where they are.

I will say a special prayer for them.

I know what they are going through. The woman I had my first son with was a bad person and I didn't know it. we split and I got custody of him at 9 months old.  She was in and out of jail all the time. Years of drug addiction, lies and broken promises left my son hurt and confused. He is an adult now and sees her for what she is but damage is done.

Difficult time my friend

He is lost...Your spirit is under attack

Vengeance is mine sayeth the Lord

Very hard to do, but in a time like this just try and praise the Lord...Sounds crazy, and it is in the secular view, but it is exactly how to set the devil on fire and take a win from your God. Praise and thank him for all you have. Don't get angry, that is a seed that satan plants. Before you know it you've had an argument with your lady, or a friend and where do you think that anger came from? We Christians plant seeds which eventulally lead a lost soul to eternal savlation. The enemy plants land mines in our soul...Remember he cannot get to our spirit any longer. These mines need to be removed by EOD
Exhaulting Our Diety!

Please pray for my Wife's cousin Dale. He is 30 years old and poisned his body with drugs. He is in the hospital they are not sure If he will pull through or not. His parents got him into rehab where they did a blood test to see what drugs He was on. (everything). They found he had infection so sent him to the hospital. His heart and aorta are infected. He hasn't eaten in weeks and has hep C. Dr said if they hadent gotten him in he would have been dead by the end of the week.
He's a good kid but can't stay off the meth. As soon as he gets clean his buddies drag him back down.
Pray he makes it through this and makes a life change.

I did something to my shoulder a few weeks ago, and nothing I've tried has made a difference. I've never went this long without working and it's starting to get me down. Finally got a MRI last week, just waiting for results. It would be great if our Lord would relieve some of the pain.

I get the feeling selfish for asking, then you feel worse for being told you shouldn't feel guilty. Ask and receive, He can't help if we don't ask for it. I'm lucky my primary job isn't too physical, but I've been hurting pretty bad since the rear ender and the cooking gig has been rough. Asking for help has been a real struggle. You're definitely being prayed for my friend. Do you have anyone else there at the shop? I have a lot of calls from AZ and can direct traffic your way for installations if you like? I don't know if you take on diff work, but I have a pretty good track record for referrals.

He is putting his family through hell. I am praying for everyone in this difficult situation. At this point he is just killing himself. I suspect we will going to a funeral soon.

Just got word that wife's cousin has MRSA infection. It got in his brain and heart. He is on the strongest antibiotics available but they are not even slowing it down. He is at UK in Lexington KY. We are going to go see him later today. The Drs gave him only a few days to live. Week at the most. I don't know what to say to someone on their death bed. Much less a 29 year old. I am just glad we are here and not back home so Jen can be with her family during this difficult time. In the mean time we are packing up my mother-in-law to move her back to Nebraska with us and dealing with selling the house. To top it all off my great uncle passed away back home. Please just say a prayer for all of us. Our plates are full.

Stewie posted this in his “growing family adoption thread” and well

For those that don’t know what him and his family are up against it can be found here. http://real-man-truckworks-and-survival.com/index.php?topic=3268.msg76461;topicseen#new


Excerpt from his latest post
“waiting for USCIS approval on our stuff then off to Ukraine our dossier goes.

I was contacted yesterday by a mutual friend who told me the guy who owned the shop I was GM over for 16 years had come down with an auto immune disease. Long story short at about year 15 of me working for him he wanted to sell out, from my view point and many others I received the short end of that stick and as such made some huge life choices including resigning and ended up in hippy land. There were some hard feelings, I made my peace with them a couple years ago for my part.

This morning he texted me this

quote Hey guy- Mike said you heard the news. I’ve been diagnosed with an Auto Immune disease called Pemphigus Vulgarious. The immune system is attacking my skin cells.  Have lost 95% of my skin from thighs to neck-front and back.  Got me on hi dose steroid and anti-infection meds.  Next stop is burn unit if can’t keep infection under control.  No cure- there’s a drug that can put you into remission- then manage it. That’s the goal.  Have appt Monday with hematologist/oncologist to hopefully get into the drug protocol.   Lot of side effects from drugs on to of the pain. quote

He was raised Catholic although not practicing to my knowledge. I have been thru a ton with this guy. If you could please lift him up in prayer I would appreciate it. I told him that I would pray for him and ask you all to do the same. Thank you

Nate's comment on my other post reminded me that I should do a quick update on my cancer BS. Your prayers have worked so thank you very much. I'm not in the clear yet but pretty good prognosis. My last PET scan came up mostly "resolved". SO that is very good news. I have a followup PET scan in early October to see if any of the areas come back. SO if I get an all clear in October I will be very happy. Right now based on my history I basically go from waiting for the next shoe to drop to happy.

They let me off of Chemo for about a month now and will wait until the October results to see if I need to go back on Chemo. So now just getting my strength back and might be able to live rather than coping.  :beercheers: Oh and I do have some peach fuzz growing back. Hopefully I can keep it for winter. LOL I still have lingering issues from the radiation and chemo from Neuropathy in my feet and hands to swallowing solid foods. But not a big deal to handle.

Thanks again for all the prayers. I have to say it has been very humbling all of the support I have received even from places I didn't  even know existed.

Genemens,

You may or may not realize it, but the believers here are creating a sort of prayer engine here. I think we have effectiveness somewhere between a stock 6.0 LQ4 and a cammed LS3.

I am always hopeful to power up to supercharged levels, but you prayer Ninjas are still where the power lies

And let me tell you a little secret about getting prayer to work

Look back at the old testament, at some of the super successful battles that were fought in the name of God for advancement of his kingdom. You might have taken note that the nuclear weapon of Gods power yielded by man was praise!

Yep, put your praise and worship team in front of your armee, and the soldiers probably won't even have to draw a weapon. God gets up and does it for you.

So before prayer, spend some time praising him. Really, thank him for everything you have. Worship him, because unless I am mistaken, worship is the one and only thing we can give him that he did not actually create

Think about it (Boneheads!)

Two of my adult friends and ones son where  playing in the razor side X side by the water . It got overturned into the water at flaming gorge, the father lost his life, the boy was driving. The other man was the closest thing to a father I have had since mine passed when I was a boy.  My buddy would move the world for his friend but because of injury’s was unable to get him unbuckled from the razor and the guy drowned.   

These two guys took me camping as a boy, working as a small kid, car detailing to painting to construction in general amazing mentors.
The two guys are best friends since elements school all the way till now of fifty years.  I can only imagine the pain and guilt.  The sorry or helplessness felt.   

He is not much of a believer in God as I have understood it, losing his dad at a young age, mother lost while I was a boy.    He hasn’t found comfort in the lord like so many of us, it would give him so much strength to see the light.   
Time will tell.

This untimely death thing just smacks us in the face, rocks our world, and makes us say, "Really God?"

But to be Cliche, it is what it is

Really. You see no one has life figured out. Although most westerners, comfortable in their lavish lives are lifing the fairy tale that has them passing at some advanced age where they finally start to come around to thinking about God after all the fun days have gone and the "Slowing down" sets in.

Sounds like, unfortunately, what we may have here, how very, very unfortunate. There is no coming back from death aside from what the spirit has ordained. Nope that's one permanent contract, where everything you wrote and agreed to or didn't bother to read suddenly holds sway over you completely.

Wow, the thought of it is humbling. I don't fear death from this worldly life, although I have a bit of angst over the actual dying part, but two things are true.

1. I will die a human death
2. I will live in either heaven or hell for the rest of eternity

Fortunately for me, I know I will exist in heaven where I will serve God in the manner he has chosen for me. I always hoped it would be as a soldier, but I may be hauling out the linen and washing it down by the creek. Like they told me in Flight School, "Do you know what they call the bottom guy in the class?...Answer: A Pilot!" So anywhere in the heavenly realm is good with me.

I menton all this in the context of the loss of Dave's friend because when I read Dave saying he (Paraphrased) didn't know if the man knew the lord, I got sad. But it made me wonder something else. Did anyone take the time to talk to him about the Jesus who saves. Anyone point to Romans 10:9?

Romans 10:9 9If you declare with your mouth, "Jesus is LORD," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

I wonder if anyone did that

I pray that all of you will "Find it" when the spirit prompts you to speak up for Jesus. If he hasn't ever done that, then please go all the way back to square one and thoroughly check your salvation. I'd suspect something is amiss there. And if you can honestly say, Yes, I believe Jesus died and was resurrected and is the living Son of God, and you professed it, then that's good, I look at the rest of your life.

Did it change?

Yes--> Go to heaven

No--> Go back to square one and get real honest with yourself

Do you now have a hunger to work for the kingdom? Do the old nasty habits you had/have bother you? Are you ashamed of them? (That's a good indication)

Do you tell other people about the wonderful freedom you found in this God, this Jesus, this wonderful Spirit that you cannot see? Do you sense him? (Clue: You should)

I hope I never pass on following a command of the Spirit. I hope I am never wrapped up in sin when a soul in need passes by but I have made myself deaf to his voice.

I hope as I hope in the Lord, that someone spoke to this man at the moment when God had prepared his heart. I hope for at least that...

I had gotten that out of your initial discussion about your friend.

I am happy that at least someone or people took the opportunity to present him with the truth.

I see it, as sad as it is, as an opportunity for someone reading this to perhaps get something they may have needed from it. (Encouragement?? Perhaps make them take that very same step with someone else who may be riding along the bank of his own rocky creek...Dunno, just felt I should do all that)

Well my neighbor, avid coffee drinker & former aurora captain on the pd there apparently had a heart issue and ran his Harley off the road and thru a barbed wire fence over near Kansas. Claims Harley and the leathers probably saved him. He could use some prayers for a full recovery. He’s also on our local church security team and a high school football referee (yeah not sure which way to go on all of that yet).

Well guys, not sure where I'm going with mom right now. She is still in the hospital waiting for a bed at a rehab.

She is very week and has little clue to what is going on at all. She has told me a couple times it is time to go and I feel the only thing keeping her going is a pacemaker she got when all this started.

1st month is paid at the care home, but not sure if she will return now at all.

I am going to talk to her Dr's about the whole issue, hopefully I will make the right choice for her and us.

I understand that and have even been that person in this situation. Reality has been working on me more and more, plus her wishes to live, not just be alive. Then she fools me and looks like a new woman this afternoon. Still not running laps but a complete change. Rehab is the next step now.

Small request for prayers gents- tomorrow is my son Jacob's memorial service; prayers for the following:

-Strength for all of us to get through it.
-Gods peace for those still struggling with Jacob's death.
-Individuals whom should not attend don't; though if they do, may God's plan manifest itself for His good.
-May I get through my remarks, my words be spoken for God's will, and may those still alive and lost find their way to Christ.
-Safe travels for all afterwards wherever they are headed.

Thank you all for your support!

Small matter of housekeeping; we can take Jacob off the prayer list now.

Mom has been in the hospital 3 times in the last month, she is not getting better. Ever since the heart attack and stroke it has been a spiral down. She is alive, but not living at all and this is something we have discussed many times and a DNR has been in place.

She was released today, to the care home, under hospice until I got the following news,,,,,,,

She has a blood infection that is beating the meds and has affected her heart. Only option is surgery, but she is not a candidate. Was told 3 days to a week.

Tomorrow I am bringing her home,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Well, they released her yesterday on 2 liters of oxygen. Cardiologist & pulmonologist are pointing their egos at each other and reality is no one knows what’s going on with her. So not good really, the oxygen is a bandaid.....

We’ll see, cardiologist said they may perform and outpatient cath. If they do I’ll go back for that until then in hold pattern. Thanks

So flyin back to Indiana again tomorrow. Mom has right side heart failure and as such they are doing a right side heart cath Thursday morning. They believe she has pulmonary hypertension, long short of it for her age 70 that’s not a good prognosis. So any prayers are welcome, some prayers for my attitude might be helpful too as this traveling to Indiana for sick parents is wearing on me. Maybe a swift kick in my rear would be a better option..... thanks

While it may be selfish I wish her to remain distant from my personal family.  While I struggle praying for her wellbeing I know you guys can aid me in it.    The better her personal family is the better mine will be.
My mother will carry the load but should no have to.

Men,
Could use some prayers for our oldest daughter Stephanie and her family. Some back store Stephanie and Corey have been married for a 1 1/2 years and Corey has a daughter Ellie(11 years old) from his 1st marriage, Ellie has been diagnosed with reactive attachment disorder (didn't bond with birth mother) birth mother was a drug addict.

Ellis has been placed in a mental health facility because she stated that she wanted to kill herself and dad and mom (she calls Stephanie mom)  she said this we believe because Stephanie and Corey found out that Ellie has molested a pair of 8 year old boys and Ellie has said to police that Stephanie and Corey have beat her until she bleed and have been pushing her head into the wall. Please pray that the 2 boys get the help they need and that this will not effect them the rest of their lives, that Ellie get the help she needs and to heal the family.

There is a spirit of molestation over this area of the ohio valley. So many cases of it out there. I pray against it often. You know, perhaps that a lot of conditions and ailments like this are spiritual driven and spiritual in nature. Of this I am sure. A father has God given authority to claim dominion over his family and cast spirits out, to block them.

I once went to the wilderness so to speak. Down to my farm for nothing but prayer for an indefinite period of time. I would read the bible, then pray, and read a book about the power we have through God through the sacrifice at the cross. It's complex and worth a study, but the truth is a righteous father who is repentant can simply channel Gods authority over the spiritual.

If your son in law is such a man, he can claim dominion over this child and pray the blood of Christ around his child. He can order spirits to depart.
But this is important
The spiritual world works on lawful right
Demons and spirits must have a legal/lawful right to exist within someone's soul. They cannot inhabit the spirit of someone who is saved, however can life in a person's soul. If that someone gave them a lawful right through their own sin, then you are kaput. If that someone is engaged in and welcomes drug abuse, or satanic worship, or similial into their lives, well, then, they own it and all you can do is bind it up in your presence. But it the spirit is there because of a generational curse, say like the mother invited the sin and spirit into her life, and that spirit simply attached itself to that mother's child, then that spirit which is driving all the hateful behavior, then that spirit has no lawful right, and a righteous man who has authority over that person, a man such as a father or a husband, then God has given him the authority to exercise God's power and cast that spirit out.

Sounds crazy, and the devil would have you believe that this spiritual stuff is all nonsense, but I stand here and tell you, that the real battle IS IN THE SPIRITUAL REALM!
Title: Re: Prayer Request thread
Post by: Flyin6 on April 19, 2019, 02:33:03 PM
I offer up a prayer to ask for protection for those who are yours during this holy time. We pause and give thought to the immense sacrifice and suffering of your son, our savior, Jesus, the Christ. He through dying a horrible human death, opened the only door to live with you through his redeeming sacrifice.

As much as we love you Father, there are those who hate you, and we, your people. Therefore I ask a prayer of protection over those who gather in their places of worship this weekend. Although hate filled evil minds would seek to harm your sheep, protect them as the good shepherd does. Give your warriors a keen eye to see the movements of the wolf who stalks. Give them no victory, but rather give us who protect the flock the victory over the evil that watches.

Protect our leaders and our president as you did David in his day, so that good would prevail over evil. Protect our nation and bind up any interests and spirits who make it anything other than a free and God loving and fearing nation. Keep us humble but strong. Give us weapons but no cause to raise them. Give us judgement and at the same time forgiveness. Set before us a banquet of those hungering for the word, and give us not meekness but the power and strength to step out boldly in your name, so that whatever we do, however we do it, that the glory is yours and not ours. I pray in the name above all names, Jesus
Amen

This Easter Sunday there is a family that nearly lost their father. He is in a medically induced coma after a farm accident. Last harvest he was having trouble with the auger plugging up so he removed the grate in the auger hopper. 2 days ago he was moving some corn. He did what we all do. Step on the hopper to clean out the truck. He forgot the grate was gone. He was alone with no cell service. He had to cut his foot off with his pocket knife and crawl to the house. He nearly bled out.  They ended up taking his leg off just below the knee.
This hits real close to home. Kurt Is a friend and neighbor. We worked together many times. He comes over for coffee in the mornings sometimes just to sit and visit. He is a very strong willed man. I believe he will recover but its not going to be easy.

As I read,  I find myself simply just asking, “Lord, please, help.”

And why we are at it

I don't consider any chance meeting, "Chance."

More like appointments set in the spiritual.

So had one of those the other day. Man is hard, but I see kindness and friendship on the inside. Talks a hard line about not believing. (Why do I always get the hard ones??)

But I show up and am just not intimidated in the least, I see past all that gruff and knows God loves this man and likely sent me to reach him. So I started chinking away at the scaly exterior.

Prayers for this man for God to open the door for the seed of his word and love to find some fertile place to land. I will (Am) delivering it, so we will see where it shakes out.

...Just have a feeling, and prayer for an anonymous never hurt anyone...

And, T, -Lifting you up.

Prayers for a brother in Christ.

I went with him to the courthouse a few days ago. We watched his home being auctioned off.

His kids don't know what's coming, going to be tough.

Trusting in God that since this door has been shut that a better one will be opened.

This Easter Sunday there is a family that nearly lost their father. He is in a medically induced coma after a farm accident. Last harvest he was having trouble with the auger plugging up so he removed the grate in the auger hopper. 2 days ago he was moving some corn. He did what we all do. Step on the hopper to clean out the truck. He forgot the grate was gone. He was alone with no cell service. He had to cut his foot off with his pocket knife and crawl to the house. He nearly bled out.  They ended up taking his leg off just below the knee.
This hits real close to home. Kurt Is a friend and neighbor. We worked together many times. He comes over for coffee in the mornings sometimes just to sit and visit. He is a very strong willed man. I believe he will recover but its not going to be easy.

Jon, It looks like your friend has made National news and sounds like he is going to be fine. Great to hear!

Hey guys, my better half was admitted to her hospital yesterday. We had a long 24 hours day before with two er visits and then finally admitting her yesterday afternoon. She has a 4mm kidney stone that is causing some issues as she tries to pass it. As of 1pm mst today she will be going under general anesthetic and having it removed according to her urologist. That is unless she successfully passes it first. If you could keep in your prayers it would be appreciated. I’ve been told it is every bit as painful as child birth and from her anger and doubling over in pain I am not doubting it in the least. Thanks

Update:

And just like that she passed two stones. Literally within hour of me posting this. The one stone was larger than 4mm, it broke apart and pieces they still believe are in there. Waiting on urologist to see if she can bypass having procedure.

Good morning gents-

Would appreciate your prayers on the topic of selling our house - went on the market last week Weds. and we're selling to move to an area with better schools for our daughter who starts High School in August.  Lutheran school for Jr. High, which have been outstanding.  Current house is in a less than stellar High School district with issues we aren't willing to make her suffer through - great kid who is ready well grounded faith wise and ready to experience a quality public school experience - faith into the world as well.  We won't be looking for a new place until we sell here, so the clock is ticking - we've been praying on it; just wanting a wider base of prayers.  Thanks!

He is...

And

I have another one

The biker guy

Had a conversation with him. He asked me not to say "God Bless you" to him. HE showed me the rest of his arm, basically a dedication monument to a future life in hell while serving Satan for the "breathing times."

But I can't say why, but I like him. I don't subscribe to all that nonsense even a tiny bit, but rather stand as that voice in the wilderness. I told him that it doesn't matter what he thinks about God, Christians or anything else, only that God loves him. And I mentioned that I think I was supposed to tell him. I have talked to him enough now that I can see good in him, I mean I think he was hurt by something a long time ago, and being a lifelong member of a tough group of people, the iron horsemen, he hasn't seen nor heard much of Christ. Not sure, but I think so.

Anyway, come heck or high water, I think I will continue to witness to him, sort of leave a calling card. SHould he ever need someone or want to talk about eternity or want to know how to find Christ Jesus, I will be there.

So prayers for this man of 70 years age to come under conviction, and for someone to be there when his heart is right and ready. I just don't want to give him to Satan although I really have no say in it...

But with the loss of our step-son over in Afghanistan the wife and I are just on edge and could use a big helping of the Lord's peace and a hedge of protection around our son.

Good Evening Gents-

Blessings and new wrinkles in the home sale/purchase saga.  Buyers of our place are being difficult to say the least.  I could certainly use prayers from all of you that a reasonable resolution is reached and both properties make it to closing.  I’m in So. Missouri and have been working my tail off keeping all the moving parts heading forward, but I sure need God’s hand to remove some road blocks. 

God is at work in our lives and he’s shown our interconnectedness during my time down here.  Woman I’ve never met before (preachers wife) was sitting behind me last Sunday here in Missouri and echoed the EXACT reaction that I had to the SAME young girl with Leukemia from a few towns over.  I learned about this child 3 weeks ago from a friend in Ohio via Facebook through a prayer request and was moved to tears asking for her healing - a child I don’t know, but was sorrowfully moved to pray for and been on my heart this whole time.  I can’t explain the sensation I felt when it was raised again in a church I’d never been in before.

Our prayers are powerful - thank you for yours in advance.

My Wife had another foot surgery for a couple torn and ruptured tendons.  Everything going well with recovery for almost a week and then she starts feeling bad and gets checked out and has a blood clot that has both of us very concerned.  She is thinking every little thing is a symptom that it is moving and scared that it is going to her lungs.  Please pray for her to have some of God's peace and comfort in the fact that he has got this.  She knows it but prayer helps.  Thanks folks.

Father, raise up this young man as he sets himself against the enemies of this great nation. Watch over him today, tomorrow, and every day and comfort him and his family (Mom and dad especially) as the anniversary of loss comes. Let them not dwell on the temporary loss, but on the reuniting of them all some day in your great house.
And Father, while you're at it, watch over all our brave servants wherever they are. Fire fighters, police, warriors, Doctors and Nurses. Watch over the comforters and those who suffered loss. We are your people and for a time we are in this physical world of which we are merely passers-by enroute to our eternal home. But in this time we are allowed to learn lessons. Some good, and some not so good. I lift up those in times of trouble, strife, sadness, loneliness, pain or other affliction.
Thank you father for being you!

Folks,

Could use some prayer for my wife. She has had an issue with her eye for most of this year and doctors keep telling her it is allergies. Which the meds and eye drops are not doing anything.

She has pretty consistent headaches, her eye (just one not both) constantly looks like it’s covered in pink eye, and she is starting to loose focus and vision over all in it.

These last few days it seems to be getting worse. More redness, more pain more blurry. She has requested not to have to drive because she doesn’t feel comfortable with her depth perception.

She is going to try and get in on Monday and hope we can get a better answer than allergies, cause it sure ain’t that.

Thank you in advance for lifting her up. It’s hard to watch her suffer close to endlessly.

God Bless,
Turner

This may sound a bit unusual, but have you ever had her yeast levels checked?

Yeast, living in our bodies can wreak havoc, and the eyes are very susceptible.

You will have to consult the alternative medicine community to point you to someone expert in that area. The guy we use is Amish. He puts us on Can-sol which I am currently taking for 2 weeks. Beyond question it is the most foul tasting thing you will ever put in your mouth, but it wipes out yeast growing in your body in days to 2 weeks. Again, you'll leed a dead rat wrapped in a ten day old dirty sock to wipe your mouth out with to remove the taste, but say goodbye to yeast.

I'm a firm believer in if the Lord closes a door he will open another. I pray that my timing will be in-line with His. The wife's (Tammy) office was closed today by an elected official wanting to turn the program over to a for profit company in place of the non profit that had been in place for 19 years. Pray that she will find a position that she will enjoy as much as her last and that this bump in the road doesn't side track our get out of debt plan by to much.

My Uncle Jim has had cancer for at least the last decade. I’m amazed at how strong him and my aunt have been. They live nw of Dallas, Jim sent all of us on his email list an update today. I have inserted it below. I don’t understand God’s plan with this suffering but if you could lift them up I would appreciate it as would they.


This past week was a test of our faith, health and where do we go from here?  A hard scary question for Ann and me.   The past week I was having a weakness which I attributed to being in active.   On Saturday Morning a week ago after a bad Thursday, a morning of terrible vomiting (I never vomit)  I found I was unable to walk, the scariest thing I have ever had happened.
Ann volunteers at our local Presby Hospital 3 mile from our home. I called and texted and ask her to come home ASAP.  My adrenal gland which regulates glucose is bad but I have been able to compensate for it using steroids and food.  Never less my glucose was 25 but know other obvious signs of low sugar.  I got to the fridge and ate a candy apple and could not get up but got to a kitchen chair.  Ann was there in less than 15 minutes.  Had my lunch salad, still weak, having trouble walking but got into my recliner and that is where I spent the night.  Saturday morning was day of awaking.  This had to be the worst because we were thinking this was it especially since Ann would not be able to care for me.  But having Myeloma I was ready to meet my maker and knowing Ann would be okay.  We just set and looked into each other’s eyes trying to figure out what was coming and when. Since I was unable to walk Ann called the EMS and within 2 minutes I was in the back of the EMS getting treated for low sugar.  I still was feeling okay but I went to the Hospital where I was taken into an Emergency  Intensive care  After a gaggle of Emergency room  doctors and nurses working on me they moved me from there to another Emergency Intensive care. My nurse had 2 patients and I was one of them.  Scary.. Along with why the glucose dropped to dangerous level, why did my BP drop into the low 60’s which was causing my brain not to get enough blood  I don’t believe that was every resolved.  After I was in the Intensive care until I was deemed stable they moved me up to 4th floor where the nurses can have 6 patients.  I was there for 1 day and my condition was not stable and back to the Intensive care floor.  I was there for only a few hours.  They were using prednisone and a couple more drugs which increased my blood pressure from the low 60’s now over 200.  I told them I didn’t want to stroke out and to let me go, but to no avail.  Poor Ann was life was being jerked up and down just like mine.  Meanwhile every 4 hours after being dx with double pneumonia I was having a Respiratory breathing treatment which is one of the roots of the problem.  After I was stabilized again left the Intensive care floor back to another room on the 4th where I remained until  I was discharged this past Thursday.
 
The outcome is I am very weak, take breathing treatments every 4 hours  for the double pneumonia but I am still mobile with a wheeled walked for now.  I have this weekend to get better as we have a gaggle of doctor appointments coming up.  We are fortunate we have several good (new) hospitals with plenty super doctors and nurses.  All very warm and friendly.
 
I just wanted to touch base with you and let you know what happened to the joke line.   Fall weather has set in with colder 40’s and rain for a couple days.
 May God Bless you and please say a prayer for me and Ann.
Thanks for reading this long drawn out piece but please no mention in Facebook.
Love,
Jim

Adding to the list, prayers for an unnamed individual who struggles against an addiction.

Lift them up, and God will know who it is and how to handle it.

And while I'm at it, Father God, thank you for friendship and caring and brotherly love. THank you for bringing together this diverse group of men from all corners and 60 miles north of nowhere. Bless them in their struggles. Give them wisdom, good judgement, prosper them as you give them challenges which strengthen them and causes them to take small stands for the kingdom. Thinking of them and the idea of church, I pray the Jabez prayer over them and all of us collectively and this web site, that you would enlarge our territory and influence to speak over a confused and darkened world. That we would be men of honor, but that no credit would come to us personally, but, however, that others would see a genuineness in us that flows from the river. Let not anything we do lead anyone to evil or temptation so that all of us were only convey a positive spirit that is wrought from your very heart:

Oh, that You would bless me indeed, and enlarge my territory, that Your hand would be with me, and that You would keep me from evil, that I may not cause pain.

1 Chronicles 4:9-10


"Now Jabez was more honorable than his brothers, and his mother called his name Jabez, saying, 'Because I bore him in pain.' And Jabez called on the God of Israel saying, 'Oh, that You would bless me indeed, and enlarge my territory, that Your hand would be with me, and that You would keep me from evil, that I may not cause pain.' So God granted him what he requested"

Men, could use some prayers for me and the wife. Because of my wife's family she has a passion for trying to help people with addictions. We living in rural Oklahoma and the wife lost her job a few months ago she has been working on setting sober living houses in our county. She has done an outstanding job, The city has donated a church, a church has donated their old building and a few men went in and bought a farm house. She has let the group of men take the lead which hasn't worked out that well until the wife just takes care of things and gets things moving.

Please pray that I will be accepting of the Lord's timing, accepting  of the finance issues. For the wife that she is following the Lords plan for her life and that this adventure will be blessed.

Grandson surgery is in the morning for the cancer biopsy. The doctor doing the surgery is think that if it is cancer that they have caught it very early but he is thinking more along the lines of a reaction to the new meningitis vaccine. This year they have changed the ingredients in the shot and people have been having strange reaction to it. I just pray that the start ruling out stuff in place of adding more stuff that it can be. Thanks for the prayers. Steve

My adult daughter is in the Hospital in Omaha. They tested her for Covid 19 yesterday. She has had a fever of over 100 for 17 days. None of the local hospitals or clinic would test her. They tested her for everything BUT covid 19. All negative. All they said was she has something viral. Go home and it will pass. But yet the health department called her every day to check on her.
Lucky for us my ex-sister in law is a higher up at one of the hospitals in Omaha. She raised enough cain that they got Brooke in on a Saturday afternoon and tested her. They wont have results for several days.
I have to wonder how many other people in these rural communities are sick but they are not testing? The virus wont spread if they don't test for it, will it?

Please add her and everyone affected to your prayers.

Well I could use some help right now so I thought I would revive this thread.

Some of you may or may not know that I have been fighting stage IV cancer since August of 2017. Thought I might have a chance middle of 2018 but January 2019 it had spread to lungs and bone. So in 2019 they tried immunotherapy which didn’t work and then pill form Chemo which didn’t work either. So in January of 2020 they put me back on harsh Carbo Chemo that at least knocked it back in early 2018.

Well my PET scan on April 30th showed that the harsh Chemo wasn’t working anymore either. Due to the Covid restrictions I had it local instead of at Mayo. The local Oncologist had a conference call to review the findings and basically recommended that I contact hospice and start that process. Gave me 6 months. First time my wife broke down.

I contacted my Oncologist at Mayo and she scheduled a meeting with a Phase 1 trial Doc there and her. So we met with them and now basically waiting to see if I can get into a trial. Tic toc. 

I am also trying to get into Moffitt Cancer phase 1 trials in Tampa. But you have to be a patient with them first and then go through screening. So going through that process now. At least they have a trial specific to my head and neck cancer that has metastasized. Plus it would locate my wife close to the kids and her parents.

So we will see.

Tex can probably relate to this but in Mid 2019 Mayo sent my cancer cells to a research facility to get a DNA match to possible treatment. $7000.00 for that. They did provide a match. Vorinostat/Zolinza.  So the oncologist prescribed it along with my Chemo. Sure enough the health insurance turned it down because it wasn’t approved specifically for my cancer. It was FDA approved just not for mine. So I thought I will just pay out of pocket. Life saving potential right?  Well it would cost $13,000.00 per month. So I made too much money to get assistance from Merck and I can’t swing $13k a month so no bueno. So unless Tex has some industry secrets how to get that it is wait and see.

So if you guys could add me and my family to your prayers I would greatly appreciate it.

So, I want to be very careful here
But I may have something to share
I went to listen to the testimony of a pastor one night. Just seven or eight out of a church that had a sunday attendance around a thousand.
THis pastor had cancer. Had stage 4 which kept going everywhere. Bone pancreas, brain, heck, everywhere.
He went from chemo to chemo which was in itself killing him. He went through radiation. He was even brought into an experimental program. Every thing he did drained his family's finances and nothing made him any better. His oncologist recommended he get hospice involved and talked about another way out there experimental program.
The pastor prayed about it and got no indication to do anything more, so he just quit with the doctors.
But he got down on his knees and said "Father I am claiming healing and I am betting my life on it.
The last time he had spoken to his doctor, the man had given him a month to six weeks, no more.
The pastor simply went back to living, but was so sick from the cancer and the chemo. He said that he decided to just live on the faith of a promise from God to answer our prayers or he would just surrender his life. He gave up on anything but God through Jesus. ANd he continued. He told me that the doctor had told him to come back in two weeks, so he went. At that visit the doctor noted that he was actually no worse and probably a little better and told him to come back in a month. The pastor said he felt good enough to mow the grass and did. He started doing more and more things
Well the short story is that the cancer simply went away. When he spoke to us he was nothing less than a living miracle
I asked him what did he think happened
And, Mike, this gets at the crux of it
He said when he literally gave up his life and said "God, either you are going to heal me or I'm going to die and I'm not giving it another moment's thought. It was only then when he believed God healed him. He gave up his life, control, worry, everything

I think you hear me, and I want to be careful here in that I am relaying a testimony, but one that points to the very heart of God. Total surrender, total faith

Jesus and nothing else...

Thank you JR. I appreciate the thoughts and prayers.

I’m sure I’m not the only one to navigate the insurance maze. I only point it out to show the craziness. They paid for the research but not the findings. They are more than willing to pay $9k in Chemo drugs every three weeks forever but not something that might actually take you off the Chemo. Lol. No logic.

I will probably be going the Don route sooner than later.

Ironic that since this Covid stay at home order here in MN and my company considers me high risk I can pretty much work much longer than if I had to go into the office everyday.

Don,

Thanks for the prayers and checking up on me.

Not much good to report. Been at Mayo last week doing radiation on my hips and pelvis trying to see if we can keep them from fracturing while I wait for a Phase 1 trial to become available. Nothing at Mayo until maybe July and then not specific to what I have.

Finish up radiation on Tuesday and then I’m flying to Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa to see if I can get into trial there.  They have a specific one but I have to have the HLA marker they is required. So going to give blood and have Doc appt.  Then wait two weeks to see if it is a match. So pretty much a Hail Mary but we will see. 

For now just managing the pain and trying to stay off the opioid dope!

Oh yeah, sold the house and closing on that and moving in two weeks. Have sold most of my tools and toys. Still trying to get rid of most of my guns and gun safe so my wife doesn’t have to deal with it.

Busy busy. Times a wasting.

Mike,

You show great courage, and man, that has to be tough.I will keep you in prayer, and your family as well.

Question: Have you had the elders of your church lay hands on you and pray for healing? Assuming you have as the bible instructs us to do so, how did you feel during the process? Did you completely believe in it? That you would be healed?

Have you gotten as right with God as you know how, asking for forgiveness after you have sincerely forgiven everyone who you may hold a grudge against? I think you know that The lord only forgives after we first forgive those who have sinned against us.

What I'm getting at is you can use the healing power of God, through Jesus, but it has to be right. There can be no doubt, none what so ever. You must believe in faith 100. If there is a spirit of infirmity in you, then rebuke it in the name of Jesus. Tell it that you are a blood bought child of God, and therefore no spirit other than the messenger has a lawful right to live in you. Cast it out!

Then claim health and vitality over your life. Place your hand over the affected areas and pray for specifically what you want. "Heal the cancer in these bones, and shrink the tumor in my kidney"...like that.

I wish I could do it for you, but I have no authority over your life and therefore can not rebuke an evil spirit if that is indeed what is affecting you.

I am going to remain confident in the belief that the will of the Lord be done here. I want you to heal and become healthy and I am asking for that, but my will is secondary to the will of God.

Post by: cruizng on May 31, 2020, 08:28:01 AM
Don,

I hesitate to send this reply at all because I in no way want to offend you or anyone on this site. I truly value everyone here and it has brought a lot of joy to me personally over the years.

But here goes. To answer your questions about elders and church. I was born and raised In the church. I attended and participated in every service, program, work day, pot luck, prayer meeting, door to door witnessing, bible college, etc... until I was about 22. I honestly was so disgusted by organized religion that I just stopped going. Haven’t been back since. I went to Evangelical Free, Baptist, Southern Baptist, Methodist, Catholic (ex wife), non denominational, and as such with life and organizations met some very good people. Some not so good people. I got so tired of being made to feel that if I didn’t fit their template of what they wanted I wasn’t godly. But yet they were the ones out drinking and cheating on their spouses, had kids no respect and then showed up on Sunday to hypocritically tell me how much I should live.

Again it was a few bad apples that spoiled the basket but it was enough for me.

My sisters husband was a youth minister back in those days as well. I saw first hand how a god fearing loving family should have been the benefactor of all things good. Wonderful family that foster cared when they had nothing for their own kids. This was during the same time that the televangelist like Jim and Tammy Baker were getting exposed for the frauds and hucksters that they are were raking in the sheeples money. All while my sisters family was scraping by to put food on their table and clothes on their three kids. I didn’t see any religious equity in that.

I could go on for ever with tangible and visible examples of what I have seen as an absence of God from pedo priests for years in the Catholic Church to bacha boys,child brides,and child trafficking among the most horrific in my mind the destruction of youth. Now trannies reading story time at elementary schools. Teaching masturbation to little kids. If there ever was a time for organized religion to rally the troops and attack the filth and deprivation that has gone on for years and years it is now. I don’t see it happening. And maybe Trump is an answer to prayers since no one else has attacked the pedos and trafficking like he has but he seems to be a lone ranger with very little organized support.

So I love people like my brother and sister (and you Don) that have unwavering faith and a belief that God has a plan and is all powerful and it is “his will” but most likely to my final detriment I am sorry I don’t. I feel that if God was all powerful I would pray that he ignore me and save one child from being trafficked or one child bride from being married off to her rapist or one Bacha boy allowed to escape his rapist and many more atrocities in this world.

I sadly I guess in my 62 years have never seen a miracle or answer to prayer. Many times to god loving people that truly should have deserved it.

As far as forgiven anyone I felt might have a grudge or animus against I had to think about that one for a while. I am the type,of person that rarely if ever thinks backward or about the past. I guess I have thought more about it now more than I ever have but more around my kids and wishing I hadn’t worked so much and had spent more time with them. But other than our neighbors that sued us blocking our house sale in NJ costing me $100’s of thousands of dollars I can’t think of anyone that I would need to forgive. And I hadn’t thought of NJ in years. So I’m good there. :)

Probably TMI but I wanted to provide an honest answer and to really thank everyone for your thoughts and prayers and hopefully maybe they will work not just for me but for my wife, my kids, my sister, my brother, and honestly the most unlikely people that have expressed prayers and support from a waitress at a diner I go to a lot to the wife of a salesman at work that laid hands on and prayed that  I didn’t know until that outing. Many, many more that I can’t name.

So hey, how about a win for the Mike team!  Or I guess what happens will be “Gods will”.

Either way I will keep fighting until I don’t wake up some day.

Honesty is good

Man for the most part isn't.

Almost everyone can easily point out hypocrisy in any church. That's because it's filled with people. Only one of us was ever perfect, and he is the one I am putting my faith in.

The favorite ploy used by the devil is exactly what you pointed out. Get church goers to lower their gaze just a little to the people level, and the whole worship thing comes undone.

The only way Christianity works perfectly is if there are no people in the middle of your one on one relationship with the creator. Pastors, elders, good men and women can only help some. God calls us to meet together in his house, and like the verse we chose to place on our home page, Iron sharpening iron, is why you go to that place. Heck this web site may be that place for you, I don't know.

You can't count on me, or anyone else here because we can only use the gifts he gave us, and we should only speak words after thoughtful prayer. I know my intentions are good and my spirit wants to help you, but in the end I am only a man. The one who may choose to change your life is God through his son who stands for you at the foot of the throne.

I want to see you healed from this, and I believe, completely, that God could do it. He does things for his glory, and because he loves his creations, us. Like with the pastor who was a bit farther down the road than you with only weeks left to live, he threw in the towel and said, if you don't heal me, God, then I surrender my life. God healed him, completely. I spoke with him, I am aware of the whole story.

I saw a healer come to my church. There was a wheelchair bound woman, and I apologize for telling the story again, but I saw that woman get up out of that wheelchair and start to walk all over the church.

I had three surface to air missiles fired at me one night and none of them hit us...I don't understand it, but my mom told me later she had a feeling that she needed to pray for me before the war started and did so. I believe that prayer saved my life. I got IED'd in Baghdad and didn't even get a scratch. I don't get it, but people prophesied over me saying I was to go and that God would protect me. When I left my wife told me, she doesn't know why, but I will be over there for five years then something will happen to me to bring me home. Five years later, and my heart fell apart in Kandahar and I was medevaced back home.

God is at the helm. Use him Mike. Reach out to him. Just you and him. Crawl into a closet and tell him you aren't coming out until you get right with him. I don't know what you should ask him, only you do, but he is right there, less than a breath or a heartbeat away.

And if all this just goes to a point where you draw your last breath, then glory is waiting immediately on the other side of physical life. This is but one part of an eternal life.

Let me know if I can help in any way

As you get older you expect to lose people that you know but expect that they will be your age or older. We as a country need to take better care of our veterans. Just found out that one of the guys I supervised way back when killed himself. This is the 2nd guy that I have supervised that has done this and the 6th veteran I have known that have taken their own life. I always feel like I could have or should have done more, picked up on something but hind sight is always better. I feel like a failure as a friend and a old boss. I blame this on the country being shut down and this virus these guys need normal not what we have now.

Guys please be in prayer for the Philburn family and all the veterans that are struggling in life. I guess I could use some prayers to find away forward.

Thanks

So I need to ask for some prayers for a guy I know very little about frankly. His name is Ian, has a family and boys with medical issues in and out of hospital. Ian is a local diesel tech instructor for the high school. I had originally contacted him to do my 24v motor work. Which is how I have come to be aware of him, I never have met him for record. His wife had posted the ad for side work last winter. So via text I found out about boys and he’s having a tough go. Trying to keep family together etc thru all of this. So I asked if he would mind if we (me & you knuckleheads) would lift him and his family up in prayer. He said he would appreciate that very much. Ian lives in Longmont CO, so if you could pray for his boys and to give him and his wife strength I’d appreciate it. Thanks, I’ll keep you updated as I know more.

Long backstory on this kid...feelings of, "It should have been me, if only I was there to take the shot..." He was told to remain on the ground when his crew with Ray, and Mike Durant took off. A little while later all except for Mike were dead and Mike was a wounded POW...

The problem that hunted Chris was from a mission in Afghanistan when he had to make a choice over the radio on which Army unit he  direct aid to. The unit he directed aid came out well the one he sent aid to second came out with high number of wounded. He always wonder what would have happen if he switched the units around. Torture him for years.

Post by: cruizng on July 20, 2020, 12:47:13 PM
Howdy and holy cow. It has almost been a couple of months since my last post.

A lot has gone on. I basically ran out of options at Mayo in Rochester a couple of months ago so I have been trying to get into a Phase 1 Trial at Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa. Long story short and several brain tumors later I was checked last week to see if the GAMMA Knife Radiation on my previous brain tumors had done the job so I could be eligible for the trial I was attempting to qualify for. Well I have a new one now that is 2mm in size and because it is detectable it makes me ineligible again. You had to wait for 30 days from the Gamma to see if there was any regrowth or new before being considered.

Any brain tumor issues delete you from any trial considerations right now. So back on Chemo. Started that last Wednesday in Tampa. Flew back to MN Sunday and will have to go back to Moffitt on August 12th for the next round. Insurance turned down on one of the Chemo drugs. (Pembro) so I can't get the Chemo in MN. It has to be through Moffitt which my Doc there thinks she can get Merck to provide free. We will see....  :shocked:

So sold my house in MN in May, been living in rental until we saw how this shakes down. Closed on a tiny house in Tampa last Friday and will probably move there mid August so I can be near whatever treatment they come up with and my wife can be near our kids and her folks for support.

Fight is still on trying to manage the pain without going on Narcotics so I can keep my job and keep health insurance.

Thanks for the Prayers!  :popcorn:

Father God in heaven above, we declare this disease to be a menace contrived from the devil. He hate it and what it does to your people. Father we have no authority over Mike to claim healing but we ask for your mercy and grace and that you lift this burden from this man. Show him your presence and encourage him and his wife and family. Bring him in close and although we know not your plan for this man, father we cannot believe he became part of this group of mes if you did not intend us to pray outright for his wellness and healing. So, I ask for exactly that. Father, shrink the tumors until they are no longer in his body. Make a path for your instruments, whatever or whoever they may be to meet this mans need.
I ask this humbly in the name of Jesus, Amen.

When I first met this young man he had a pill addiction. He has kicked that and has been clean for over 2 years now and recently became floor supervisor at his work place. He has refused any pain meds in fear that he will become addicted again.

Could use some prayers. My son fiancé tried to commit suicided last Friday while my son was TDY with the reserves. She did this while my oldest grandson was the only one home (which about 3 years ago he had a close friend commit suicided) so he had to knock the door in so EMS could get to her and watch them do CPR on her. I told the son that I think they should delay the wedding until they get this all straighten out but now I'm a monster. Please ask for comfort for my grandson, the right words for me to say and wisdom for my son and his fiancé.

Thanks
Steve

The sad thing about this is that all vets send their labs to the same place in that area.  I wish they had setups like real hospitals where they can test on the spot.

I’ve wondered how I would handle that,    At my current age and health I think I would fight but much over 60-70 I’d probably do the same.  Buy some crazy things. Start putting random gifts in hiding spots and maybe start a after death treasure hunt. But the stress from the chemo and the dialysis is not so sure

Prayers of comfort and peace which we all know the good Lord can help us with for any occasion

Either way it’s been a long three days and it honestly feels like that the end is coming here

With much deliberation, thought, Iv decided it will be simpler to not fight against the ego of the employer.  I plan on tender my resignation tomorrow and offer two weeks which is sure he will not accept.  The high road I do not think can be attained and in the end via a conversation with Don.  I’m not sure I need to worry about what his feelings on it are.  It’s mine to control and while listening or trying to talk though our issues I think it will only be a short term solution which we will be back in the same spot in months.   

The growth has been achieved on my part.  Iv made good friends and I feel I have earned the wages I have been paid.    Sadly he feel different and I can not change that.   

Players for calm collected conversation and I’ll follow up tomorrow with how it goes


Plan on moving back to the old government type military tec based companies where thought and discovery is appreciated

Ya Dave, I know you got a message of peace and moral highground when we talked. Just give it all to Jesus and keep him at the center of this and you will be fine.

Psalm 91 ►

You Are My Refuge and My Fortress

1He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High

will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.a

2I will say to the LORD, “You are my refuge and my fortress,

my God, in whom I trust.”

3Surely He will deliver you

from the snare of the fowler,

and from the deadly plague.

4He will cover you with His feathers;

under His wings you will find refuge;

His faithfulness is a shield and rampart.

5You will not fear the terror of the night,

nor the arrow that flies by day,

6nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,

nor the calamity that destroys at noon.

7Though a thousand may fall at your side,

and ten thousand at your right hand,

no harm will come near you.

8You will only see it with your eyes

and witness the punishment of the wicked.

9Because you have made the LORD your dwelling—

my refuge, the Most High—

10no evil will befall you,

no plague will approach your tent.

11For He will command His angels concerning you

to guard you in all your ways.

12They will lift you up in their hands,

so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.b

13You will tread on the lion and cobra;

you will trample the young lion and serpent.

14“Because he loves Me, I will deliver him;

because he knows My name, I will protect him.

15When he calls out to Me,

I will answer him;

I will be with him in trouble.

I will deliver him and honor him.

16With long life I will satisfy him

and show him My salvation.”

Just got the daily call from the Dr.  He had an improvement in his O2 level and they were able to reduce the vent support from 100% to 65.  They are hitting him with a battery of antibiotics due to infection and pneumonia.  Blood pressure is very low and on 3 meds to boost it.  Continued dialysis.  Attempting to remove some sedation to allow neurological exam to determine if he had a stroke.  Thanking God for small improvement.  Please keep lifting him up.

Thanks all.

On the general subject of prayer, I think we ought to commit personally to pray for everyone on this forum, even the guests who run around in the shadows. Reason is, we are entering dark times such as none of us have ever seen, and we are going to do this regression on a national level. I no longer have any strong human leaders standing up for good and the kingdom of God and those who are a part of it. Now it's just us and our God. These times ahead will test our faith for sure as we see growing injustice and persecution. No kidding it's going to be tough and not everyone is going to make it through unscathed. These are end times we are living, and I really hope I'm right in believing I am caught up into the sky during the rapture. It seems as though the prophesies are all pointing to an intersection and that may be in view at the moment. The end times players may well be sliding into their comfortable leather chairs at the head of almost everything.
You just became a target, and although you may well have been one in the recent past, now the evil ones will be your adjudicators. Your talk of a loving God will offend many and you belief in a two gender marriage will be hate speech if you talk of it. That's all coming. Our courts are about to be thrown on their ears and liberal God haters are going to be able to pronounce sentence on you without objection. No we are not there now, but we will get there. BLM tore cities apart in peaceful demonstrations, while peaceful Trump people made an armed insurrection on 6 Jan according to speaker pelosi (for now on her name will not get a capital letter, for she is a small person and not of the kingdom of God) Yep, we're screwed because we do not yet inhabit our spiritual bodies, so lets pray for everyone here, every day, even Dave's!

And He said to them, "But now, whoever has a money belt is to take it along, likewise also a bag, and whoever has no sword is to sell his coat and buy one. "For I tell you that this which is written must be fulfilled in Me, 'AND HE WAS NUMBERED WITH TRANSGRESSORS'; for that which refers to Me has its fulfillment."

Just left the doctors office with a potential diagnosis of Lupus or an auto immune disorder.

More blood work, x rays, a few of the other scan I can’t remember all of it.

Might finally get to the bottom of why everything hurts so darn bad at age 35

I’d ask for prayers of wisdom for the doc and understanding and patience on my part of you fellas would

I’m with you Dave. I have an immune disorder as well. In the Book of James He tells us to face our trials with joy.

“Consider it all joy, my brothers and sisters, when you encounter various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. And let endurance have its perfect result, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.”

Plus pain is weakness leaving the body. After almost a year of this COVID junk I’m ready to get back in the gym and my vaccine should be in full effect in 2 more weeks.

I was diagnosed with Lupus when I was 19 back in 2007.  Since I have had a multitude symptoms and been on several different medications for it.  For the most part it has not affected my way of life much.  I do wish I would have payed a bit closer of attention to what my body was telling me when I was in my mid-20s.  I very likely would have avoided renal failure and a couple hospital stays.

You're gonna be fine.
You may get cured
you may die from it
You may serve as a strong testimony to others in what you do and how you handle it
God is using you
He is using you here

What do you think is going on here?
God brought you here.
And look what he's done with you
Making you into a man who openly prays and stands up for what is right, and is a strong and loving father

I think God has brought everyman here for the express purpose of becoming a leader.
This is a place of training and of lessons
We share amongst each other the highs, the "everyday" and the lows
We are each on our own trajectory
And each of us ultimately lands in the exact same spot
Embrace this newest test, and shrug it off
Kick the devil square in the intersection of his legs and in the midst of pain and suffering, praise him who created you
Lead and show leadership in that way, and I think you will take a step up onto the next plateau

We got you buddy. I have chronic kidney stones, no answers for why. I have given it to Him to direct me and I can tell you Doc's are dumbfounded when I tell them I pass multiple stones a year without pain meds, some in the 5.5-6mm range. He didn't take them away like I asked for years, but made it so I can bear them and still provide for my family. Not the answer I was necessarily looking for but He took care of me none the less. we got you here.

I read some place around the first of the year "that as Christians we shouldn't need to pray about an opportunity to serve the Lord that we should all ready be prayed up and looking for the next opportunity to do just that". With that in mind I have askes the Lord to open an opportunity up so that I could serve His kingdom. Well our churches youth paster asked me to go on a mission trip with the senior high kids this summer to Utah and with my prayer in mind I couldn't say no. Keep in mind that I have a grandson that is graduating high school this month. Please pray that our mission trip will be successful and I can keep up with the teenagers.

I raise up a prayer on this Independence Day. I raise both a request and a thank you. I ask the Lord Almighty, ruler over all that is, and will ever be, to save our nation from wickedness. Save us from deviating from the straight path. Save us from Sodom, and from all devices of the enemy for I surely know that you can, my Father.

Thank you, praise you for creating this nation in the first place. Conceived in the prayerful minds of Godly men you spoke through us into our decleration of independence and later into our constitution. You, through them created this place of freedom. Just as you chose to allow all of us to have freedom to choose you or the enemy, a nation greatest amongst all nations was created 245 years ago with freedoms as well. Thank you for allowing that to be. Thank you for allowing me to be born in such a place.

Watch over us. Hear the prayer of your faithful. Heal this nation allowing truth to triumph over lies. Make this a fair place once again. Do what you will to recreate our nation the way it was always intended to be. Please, Father, destroy the enemy. Wreck all his efforts, all his plans, and all his deeds which have been conceived in the darkness and are wrought of pure evil. Just give us an even chance and level playing field. Let us not be carried into the night and be changed into something the founding fathers could have scarcely ever imagined. Just as your word and the cross stands above all of Washington, cause your kingdom to reign over our nations capital, and indeed all of the people of this land.

In the name of Jesus I ask, Amen.

Gentlemen,

One of my closest friends was in a horse wreck a couple weeks back. I just spoke with my brother about it and it would appear there is little hope. Please pray that Shawn is able to make a full recovery, and that his mom has the strength to go through this trying time. I know God is in control of the situation, but it’s hard to understand His plan.

Guys I ask for prayers for my family and other Gold Star families of the Afghanistan war. Most of the families I spoke to don't question if or not their family member died in vain or not. They live with the knowledge that those warriors died doing what they wanted to be doing, that there was a reason to be in that place and that God had a reason for them being there. The week before Brett was killed he saved another soldier life during a fire fight. What they question is if the US was going to pull out of that country the way we did why didn't we do it X number of years ago before we lost so many heroes. Just pray for comfort and understanding also pray that the new media will stop seeking out Gold Star families and asking them what they think. Just kind of opens up old wounds. Thanks

Update with Dave of TN, we appreciate the prayers. As it stands now it would appear after a biospy that was inconclusive, then a round of antibiotics that the mass on his lungs according to the results from the second CT scan that we received yesterday is getting smaller. He still has a couple nodes on his lungs lungs they had been watching prior which they still cannot see as a result of the infection (mass) so not quite out of the woods yet and still some unknowns however we're grateful for the better news and your prayers. Please continue to include him if you would until he is free from the infection and the dr's can get a full all clear. God is Good

Also as a side note I'm entering saint hood with my wife shortly as they're now committed to moving from TN to CO with us this next year. So with that said I'm taking any prayers you would like to send my way too! JK....... kind of.......

Friends, I ask that you pray for my friend. He's like a brother to me and just found out he has a couple spots of cancer on his lung. He's the guy that's always there, for anyone, any time. Couldn't happen to a better human.

His name is Dean.
Thank you ahead of time.

All,

Been nuts around here of late but could use some prayers for the wife. She is scheduled for surgery to repair some degenerative disk in her next. During the pre op test her EKG showed that she has had a heart attack at some point. Yesterday she saw a cardiologist and confirmed that she did have a heart attack, which she never complained about anything but they say her neck pain may have masked it. Testing scheduled for Feb and a follow up with the cardiologist in Mar. Please pray for a positive outcome from the surgery and no permanent damage from the heart attack.

Thanks
Steve

A neighbor son inlaw was involved in a work accident. Installing a garage door spring his wrench slipped and the spring came loose and mangled his arm. He has already had 5 surgeries with more projected and they don't know if they can save the arm. Please pray for Chastin Nickols and his family. My neighbor Jimmy and his wife Dawnda as they are watching Chastin and Kayla 2 year old and it is a little more work than they remember.

Update:
Chastin (garage door spring) hand was removed today, to much damage and was taking away from the arm healing. The doctors are still hopeful that his arm can be saved. Other good news out of this is that Chastin who has never been to church has asked his father in-law for a Bible and has started asked question. God may have gotten the young man attention.

My wife Tammy did not get to go home today surgery went fine but she has been having a bad go of it from the anesthesia. They hope she can go home tomorrow.

Thank you for your prayers. This is really irritating. She found out she lost the baby last Friday. They are just now today doing the D&C. I don't understand how they let a dead fetus be inside her body for that long. I'm not a doctor but I know If I did the same with any farm animal, they would be dead from infection by now.
Title: Re: Prayer Request thread
Post by: EL TATE on March 10, 2022, 01:37:09 PM
Because at that stage she's just as likely to pass it on her own as she is to need a D&C. We opted for the D&C because the sight alone is enough to cause the need for therapy... but they don't deem it medically necessary until after 11-12 weeks I think. Lousy either way she had to sit with it for that long

Just got done with the wife appointments today. First on the list today was the neurologist with spending 5 minutes in the room with us he said that she has essential tremors and has prescribed some medication in hopes that it with control the tremors but he had no reason why these started after her surgery. 2nd was another check on the HPV16, because of it very aggressive nature she will be having biopsy every 6 months and if anything shows up they will need to do surgery to remove. Followed up with physical therapy, she is wiped out and asleep on the couch beside me. Tomorrow she has a CT scan with contrast to just make sure her heart is okay. Thanks for the prayers men kind of seeing a light at the end of the tunnel I think

Men,

Thanks for the prayers. Pulmonologist saw Tammy today and her lungs are in great shape and nothing to worry about. God is God! God and godly people such as your selves have been with us  each step of the way and I have to say I just love to see God fix things that doctors can't explain.

Dec 20 Tammy's EKG showed that she had a heart attack after heart Cath, heart and carotid ultrasound, CT with contrast and one more test I can't remember. Doctor said there is nothing wrong with your heart and I can't explain the EKG reading.

Jan 21 Tammy's c spine surgery to replace the disk between C5,6 & 7 she woke with no pain in her hands and arms after living with it for over 15 years. The doctor told her that it would take over a year to get complete relief and hers was about 2 hours after surgery. Doctor was shocked.

After waking up from surgery she did a major tremors from head to toe. The ended up calling the essential tremors but with prayer and a little medication her left hand is the only tremors she has now. She can now get ready to go some place with out me having to catch her and sit her down.

Feb - Now 21 CTI scan showed that she has mass in lung, left breast and lymph gland . Mass in lung nothing there, breast nothing there and waiting to scratch the lymph gland off the list.

During all this she was also diagnose with HPV16 which if it turns to cancer is very aggressive and we fully believe that if it is God's will this will stay dormant but if not He will see us through that as well.

Praise God!

Keep my mother in law in your prayers. They want to do radiation treatments. I have no doubt that she will be fine but her mental health is suffering. She was looking forward to spending the summer back home in Kentucky but that can't happen now. She is getting depressed that our family Vacation plans have been canceled because of this. All we want is for her to get better. She's not use to having this kind of attention on her. She is use to being the one who takes care of everyone else.

They are still hoping the surgery is going to be as planned tomorrow on his leg. They are going to put in a feeding tube tomorrow as well.

The prayers are working but he has a long road to go. Thank you!

If you all can see fit to squeeze me in here; just spent last week in the hospital after being admitted to the ER with a bad infection. Those kidney stones I was lamenting about a while back, finally passed 3 weeks ago, but there were 5 of them, really. about 4mm each. what i didn't know is there was a 6th, stuck in the plumbing and become infected after tearing a small hole. flash forward to last Tuesday after a horrendous labor day weekend, (pain, fatigue, all the nasty stuff) my wife got back from her trip and ordered me to the urgent care clinic. I do a good job of brushing off the stuff that hurts, because I've been there before right? wrong. I was nearly septic. couple more days and you might not have heard anything more from old Tater. Still have a couple procedures to clean up pockets of infection now, but I'm at least out of the woods on some HEAVY antibiotics. Just would be nice to heal up soon for Sophie's 12th birthday coming up here on Wednesday. Thanks brothers.

Good morning, and thank you for your prayers and well wishes

Infection is controlled, I've lost 16lbs of inflammation do to that sucker. yesterday went as planned back home and sore. yesterday was the lithotripsy to break up all my kidney stones, so no more of them for hopefully many years. couldn't do it in the ER because the kidney was so infected and inflamed it would have damaged the soft tissue. I was just in the ER to bring my infection under control and get the white blood cell count back down, and was nearly septic, but we're OK now.

next week I get a new CT scan on the abdomen for the diverticulitis and abscess and fistula; these need to all be dealt with surgically so at least two more procedures, but I should be right as rain after the last procedure. luckily it's mostly laparoscopic, unluckily, the part that isn't goes right up the barrel... have I mentioned my distaste for catheters?

Thanks for the prayers but she got pulled during the swim. Along with the water being 61 deg when she started she got surrounded by other swimers and she had a panic attack. Please pray for her comfort she is being very hard on herself because she feels like she let her brother Brett down because she didn't finish.

First thing I thought to say, was, "What a stud!" But obviously and on second thought, that doesn't fit. So, "Go get em, Miss Krysten!"

Edit: Great job getting out there, takes courage to even start something like that.

We have a member here who is in the midst of some marital difficulties. Well, we actually have a couple, and likely more than just those men.

I lift up a prayer to bind up that awful evil that leads to marital destruction. For, as different as you made us, Lord, you created a way for men and women to coexist through marital bonds set upon Godly principles. Father, you made a man to love his wife and for a wife to respect her husband. So it should and shall be. In your perfect time work in these stressed relationships to destroy the cancers the enemy has sown. Defeat his plans in the mighty name of Jesus who stands above all names. No demon and no agent of Satan can have any effect on anything when the name of Jesus stands as the hedge of protection. So, I humbly ask in the name of Jesus that this particular marriage and the other one I am thinking of, and the others I know nothing about be made right. Do not allow destruction to enter these relationships. We love you, Father, Amen!

Title: Re: Prayer Request thread
Post by: Flyin6 on March 15, 2023, 01:07:04 PM
OK, gents, I have a powerful one here.

I came to know a man who is really in need of prayer. We have had a couple of conversations about another subject, but today, I got that little nudge from the spirit, and I realized he was sent here so that I could give him some encouragement and give him a word and talk about Jesus.

He is likely coming out of a marriage where she has embezzled all of his money and destroyed his credit. This has precipitated the loss of his business and in fact, she is also giving up on their family. The details and not good and this man is trying to follow what he believes God is telling him. He will divorce and move and is actually in the midst of that process. She did something in the past that caused them to separate, but he took her back in. But now, this time, his family is being broken apart, with her staying behind and his son accompanying him to a new place, far away. There is immorality and alcohol and other demonic things involved, but hallelujah, Jesus has conquered all of that and stands victorious over all dark things!

Though I walk through the valley of death, I SHALL FEAR NO EVIL, for though art with me.

This man needs everyone here to stand immediately and decisively against these cowardly forces of evil and clear a way for him to go to where God is sending him. None of this shall follow him and angels shall protect him. Angels shall confuse the plans of the enemy so that evil shall no longer be able to reach him through her, and he shall come to a new place where he will settle in and amongst God's people. Lift him and his son up and carry them through these current difficult times until he comes to the place where he will once again renew his life. Give him the strength to trust in faith that God and his people will protect and walk with him on this journey.

Take away all the negative things which have saddled him and his family and show them green pastures and joy once again.

I raise this prayer up in a chorus with the other men of Christ who dwell here, in the Mighty name of Jesus!

The owners are just being ridiculous. We found out from fire Marshall that this place was operating illegal and that they had shut them down 3 times. The kid doesn't have insurance and don't know if workers comp will cover with them operating illegal

The last couple of days have been very rough. Damien has been trying to  do as much as he can but the pain has become increasingly worse.  The hospital changed up his medications today and has helped some.

1) Please pray for reduced pain and good m
Pain management.

Everyone is exhausted and emotional drained. This has gotten to the point of being non supportive to each other.

2)  please pray for rest and our Lord's peace to be on everyone.

Damien has not been able to take in enough protein so they will need to place a feeding tube in to give him enough protein.

3) please pray that the tube will achieve the needed results and that Damien will be able to tolerate it.

Damien skin graft is scheduled for 11:00 on Wednesday.  After the graft they say he will be in much more pain. After which they will wait around 5 days to see how his body reaction/healing before they scheduled another.

4) please pray that the surgery will be a success. Damien's pain will be controlled and healing will begin.

The coworker Jay is in much more pain. His skin graft surgery was on Monday and I'm not sure how he did. The only thing he has been able to do was to get out of bed once and stand for a short period of time. His family especially his wife are emotional wrecks.

5) please pray for pain management, our Lord's peace comfort and direction on their lives.

For me the surgery wenr well Dr. Bond removed the bone spurs and repaired my bicep. I have sleep most of the day with the help of the never block and the pain pills, which I don't have to take them as often as prescribed.

The last couple of days have been very rough. Damien has been trying to  do as much as he can but the pain has become increasingly worse.  The hospital changed up his medications today and has helped some.

1) Please pray for reduced pain and good m
Pain management.

Everyone is exhausted and emotional drained. This has gotten to the point of being non supportive to each other.

2)  please pray for rest and our Lord's peace to be on everyone.

Damien has not been able to take in enough protein so they will need to place a feeding tube in to give him enough protein.

3) please pray that the tube will achieve the needed results and that Damien will be able to tolerate it.

Thanks for the prayers

Now for a praise

The doctor came out and told us:

Fixed graft on left middle finger & 2 blood clots
Burns on back legs are deep- down to his Achilles
Artificial skin on his Achilles because he could not put a graft on the tendon- 3 weeks from now check the artificial skin & may need surgery depending on how he heels
Took skin from his back
The burns on the front of his legs are narrow- Dr. Lentz said he may be able to do the front of his legs and arm in one. So 2 more surgeries, maybe 3 at worse.

Damien is out of surgery. They only had to do the inside of his right arm.
They are going to give him a week off and then do what is not healed on the front of his legs and his heel.
He has roughly 3 more weeks in the hospital.

2 seniors tragically died in our rural area in the past 2 weeks.  It's heartbreaking. There were both to graduate in the next couple days. We were just getting past Hunters then Halle's accident a couple days ago. That one hit me harder. It is my worst fear to lose one of my kids on a farm accident.

Please pray for these families.

The step son Damien had a follow-up today with his surgeon. The surgeon liked how the hands and arms are healing. However,  he was disappointed in how his legs are healing. He scheduled another skin graft surgery on 21 Jun to fix the places the grafts haven't taken like they should. After surgery he will be in the hospital for 5 or more days

Update on my friend Lamar from his wife.  Hi Matt. This is Tammy. I was actually trying to write a reply to Monday's text when this new one came in. Lamar has a LOT of swelling in his face. It's the worst it's been so far and started about a week ago. It's so severe that his left eye is completely swollen shut and he doesn't see very well out of the right. So basically, he can't read his texts. He's in constant pain and talking makes it worse. He's about halfway through chemo and radiation but he's not really feeling or seeing a difference yet. He hasn't been able to eat or drink by mouth for quite a while now so everything, including medicine, has to go through a peg tube in his stomach.

Let me make a prayer request on behalf of one of our members. His son is having some pretty severe psychological difficulties. It became borderline dangerous and required hospitalization. I would ask to fortify the young man and lift up the family to have compassion and love and forgiveness during the present and coming trials.

Step son came home from the hospital yesterday after they removed the staples from the skin grafts. His donor site(his back) and his right ankle (the area that was burned down to the tendon) are both causing a lot of pain which is somewhat controlled with pain medicine but not completely. He is finding hard to do much of anything (sleep, walk, stand, sit) with out pain. Home health comes today to start PT with him.

Thanks for the prayers

Found out Friday that Damien my stepson will have another skin graft surgery this coming Wednesday. Only about 50% of the last skin graft took. Kind of in a circle he is depressed about having another skin graft so he isn't eating so he isn't getting the protein that he needs to eat to get the grafts to heal.

Here is the latest update on Lamar from his wife.

Hi Matt. Lamar is too weak for me to safely try to get him to treatment anymore, so I called hospice on friday. They brought a hospital bed and oxygen the same day and will provide everything else I need to take care of him. He still sleeps a lot and can't speak but if you'd like to say anything to him, I can give you a call sometime when he's awake.

Ok, I have a very good friend from Colorado. His initials are JW, he’s been a marketing account vp for a lot of years. About a year and a half ago he was bought out from his role in a merger. Shortly there after his wife had breast cancer. He had her quit her job in the mortgage industry to concentrate on getting better. In addition he did not look for work, instead he took care of her and helped his son move cross country during all of that. He’s been shouldering alot recently.

Fast forward to this last summer and she is better after a double m and a couple follow up surgeries. At one time he was a Deacon in his Church, he’s kinda lost his way a bit spiritually. Him and I talk several times a week. He really needs to land a role and get back to work. In addition he needs to get back on the straight and narrow. We talk about faith a lot, he’s been beat up a bit and knows what he needs to do.

Anyhow, if you guys could add him to your prayers. Lift him up I’d appreciate it.
