Please Pray for Us

Beloved friends, I am asking that you pray for Steven and I. We feel like we are in the midst of the most important battle of our life. God spoke to me yesterday very strongly in the prayer room. I was meditating on the cross and the "precious blood" of Jesus and felt the overwhelming presence of the Lord. I then began to feel the need to pray on the mic for the house during the remainder of the fast and for us in general. God laid on my heart Isaiah 1; 58; and Ps. 68. "
Isaiah 58 :6 “ Is this not the fast that I have chosen: To loose the bonds of wickedness, To undo the heavy burdens, To let the oppressed go free, And that you break every yoke? 7 Is it not to share your bread with the hungry, And that you bring to your house the poor who are cast out; When you see the naked, that you cover him, And not hide yourself from your own flesh? 8 Then your light shall break forth like the morning, Your healing shall spring forth speedily, And your righteousness shall go before you; The glory of the LORD shall be your rear guard. 9 Then you shall call, and the LORD will answer; You shall cry, and He will say, ‘Here I am.’

Isaiah 1:16 “ Wash yourselves, make yourselves clean;Put away the evil of your doings from before My eyes.Cease to do evil,17 Learn to do good;Seek justice,Rebuke the oppressor;[
a] Defend the fatherless, Plead for the widow.18 “ Come now, and let us reason together,” Says the LORD,

Ps. 68 :5 A father of the fatherless, a defender of widows, Is God in His holy habitation. 6 God sets the solitary in families;

God was speaking so clearly to me that this is the life that He has chosen for the house of prayer and specifically us as a couple. We know that we live a fasted lifestyle and in giving ourselves to ministering before the Lord day and night we choose to partner with His heart. His eyes are fixed on the poor, the orphan, and the widow right now all over the earth. The ending of abortion, the spirit of adoption, and for the church to rise up and give all that they have for those who are near and dear to His heart. To be the hands and feet of Jesus here and now. Steven and I feel the Lord's call to go to the uttermost to partner with His heart. We are needing prayer and wisdom as we seek His will in our lives. We are standing on the threshold of something with this spirit of adoption that will change our lives forever and we need our friends to stand with us.

Thank you!
