Romans 12:2

Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.

Prayer!!

Last night the prayer meeting became a mobile unit. 
 We had so much fun and were so encouraged that we laughed about making a magnet sign to slap on the side of the rig, and a siren to place on the top and rush to the 'scene' at any given moment.

Prayer Meeting Team
UNIT 333


We walked into that hospital by faith that God had called us to 'GO' and pray; not knowing how it would work and what to expect.  

There were plenty of obstacles to the day and it took perseverance and endurance to 'GO' where we felt the Lord had called us.

The prayer warriors were made up of every age and walk of life; but all a part of the body of Christ.
  The warriors are all Christians that believe and know and have experienced the power of prayer.  

Several of the warriors are quite beat up by life circumstances, they have wounds and scars, but their spirits are not beat  or wounded or scared AT ALL, their spirits are lifted up  and more beautiful and vibrant and stronger than ever before.  

The spirits in the room were high because everyone there has walked through the fire, or are currently walking through the fire and they know God is with them, and they know WHO has and IS getting them through the fire and the life beatings.

As we filed into the ICU wait room, there was a man named Jerry in there because his son Scott was in the ICU.


Dave respectfully let him know that some 'prayer warriors' had come to pray, and Jerry bolted out of his chair and said, "Bring it on".

WELL O.K. JERRY...THAT IS WHAT WE LIKE TO HEAR.

Jerry would not even sit back down, he said he was too lifted up to even sit!!

We prayed for Jerry and his son Scott and Dave and Gloria, and the  whole Santiago family.

Dave prayed for Jerry and Jerry prayed for Dave.  

We shed tears, we shared the goodness of God and His Faithfulness and we left that little room on high.  

The kind of high you only get from THE MOST HIGH.

And as Beth Moore says: 

 THERE IS NO HIGH LIKE THE MOST HIGH.

Then we went up to room 333 and prayed for our friend Willy.  

None of these people knew Willy when they walked in the room.  They walked in the room as strangers and left as friends. 

Willy was LOVING all the prayers and new friends.

Nancy, who is a prayer warrior and a friend, who had come to pray and one of the ones that has taken a recent beating in life, but is stronger than ever and has more joy than ever.  She is a living, walking testimony of the power of prayer.  She is still in the healing process from her recent 'life beating' and yet she came to pray for people she knew and people she didn't know....How amazing is THAT??? 

 As we were introducing everyone to Willy, she announced that he had her room.
  She was recently in St. Charles and she was in room 333.

Lord!!!!
  You would think that was the only room in the whole building. 


Dear God:

Thank you Father for letting us enjoy You and Your blessings and showing us again what the body of Christ looks like in action.  Than you for allowing us to pray.  We went in faith, not knowing what was going to take place and you filled us with Your joy and peace and love.  


Dear Jerry Dave and Willy:

Thank you for opening your hearts and your lives in a time when you would be justified in closing up and shutting down and we came to encourage you and  we left ENCOURAGED. 

GOD IS JUST SOOOOOOO GOOD!!!!!

 I know there were many prayer warriors who were praying from their cars, their living rooms, their kitchens, and God hears EVERY single one....He is THAT BIG AND THAT GOOD!!!!
