It was suggested that I repost this for my friends / brothers in Christ - so here it is
-------
1) A friend has been diagnosed with leukemia. Is now on chemotherapy. I may try to stop by his house and pray for him. Iβve got to listen to his voicemail first.
TODAY - NO UPDATE - I have not spoken with him in about 2 weeks - Lord willing maybe I can drop by Thursday for a quick visit
2) 2nd friend - pastor in his 80βs - heart trouble - going in for testing today - needs LOTS of prayers for healing - this man has been a Godsend, counseling me through very difficult waters; especially for 3 years now. A GREAT brother.
TODAY - I have spoken with him since the original request - he sounds MUCH better BUT still has issues regarding his heart - such a dear resource in troubled times for me, too
3) Another friend, pastor - in his 90βs - general health - been a GREAT brother in Christ for decades. He just needs healing and blessings. I often eat with him at restaurants on average about once per week or every other week.
UPDATE - This man has basically been my pastor since the late 1980's - has constantly been a great resource and encourager through many difficult waters - he maintains an insane schedule, especially for his age
Other prayer needs (me) - well, the Lord already knows the needs before I ask. So Iβll simply ask for prayers there, too.
God bless you all.
Sending up prayers for all of your friends.
And for you. π
Thank you Allegra.
I pray the Lord blesses all of you 10X-100X fold.
I truly appreciate the intercessory prayers.
I’ve seen incredible things - but the Enemy attacks too.
It is definitely a battle......
I DID stop by the friend’s house last Thursday.
This is the gentleman with leukemia. His daughter was there looking in on him.
He has stopped his chemotherapy as it was just making him too sick. He seemed somewhat good and in decent spirits (wow).
The 80+ gentlemen is still running crazy with his various ministries - always on the phone. I have spoken to him 2-3 times in the last 7 days. He’s hanging in there.
My 90+ year old pastor friend had no responded in awhile - I was actually very concerned - he was traveling, in tons of meetings with various ministry obligations, studying and resting. He finally texted me 3-4 days ago (I had to text someone else to check up on him - they are Christian missionaries that go into Federal prisons and they preach to the worst of the worst of the worst).
It’s always a blessing to see them at church - I hope to attend this coming Wednesday night, Lord willing. I do not know if they’ll be there, though. They often need prayers as well. it’s a husband and wife team.
Oops I guess I had already noted that
Sorry, I often repeat myself.
Sorry, I often repeat myself.
Sorry, I often....
Thank you for the updates! LOVE when God sustains seniors to keep ministering!!
These guys are incredible
Definitely put me to shame by having a good attitude....
(oops)
May the Lord continue to bless others through them
until He takes them home.
In Jesus’ name,
Amen!
Amen!!!
