My son in law, Sam, went into the ER with severe abdominal pain the night before last; a CT scan showed a bowel obstruction, tumor, on the right side. He had surgery last night, and 5-6 inches of bowel were removed due to cancer. The doctors said there was no way to foresee this, as he is fairly young. He and my daughter have insurance to take care of the medical expenses, but they have three children under 15. After the surgery, the doctor said he was "cautiously optimistic" but the pathology reports are not due until Thursday, and at that time they'll start to work up a treatment plan.
This is a tremendous unforeseen blow to this nice young family, I'm babysitting for the grandkids while my daughter spends time at the hospital. She's strong, and so is he, their faith is in the Lord. He's Baptist, she's Catholic, they've been happily married 16 years.
Prayer bump.
I offered my Communion for Sam this morning. God be with him and with you and all the family.
More prayer’s sent.
prayers up
Thank you for the good news! Prayers continue...
The news today is that Sam has another complication, and cannot have any food by mouth, just the IV nutrition (TPN). The substitute surgeon suggested sending Sam to a large urban hospital, and Sam absolutely does NOT want to go. I understand his feelings, and how powerful they are, and for that reason, I hope he stays where he is. If the worst happened, and Anne couldn’t be with him, it would be horrible; worse for her than losing him. He is frail enough now that an emotional blow could make all the difference.
*sigh*
He is suffering right along with Jesus this Holy Week. I will add more prayers for him tonight.
Thank you very much.
I’m sorry to hear of the complication and pray that Sam and Anne can have the accommodation they need. Prayers continue for Sam’s health and for all the loved ones.
Joining in prayer.
Thank you so much. FReeper prayers are so precious!
In any case may God bless you all and hold you tightly.
The rosary is a great comfort to us, too, and I thank you so much for adding Sam to your intentions.
I did not see your update in post #246 until now. Still keeping Sam in my thoughts and prayers.
OHHHHHHHHHHHHH DEAR ME, DEAR HEART!
GOD HAVE MERCY!
Prayers and hugs.
Words fail me . . . Thankfully, Holy Spirit has a provision for that.
God be with him and all of you.
Prayers going up.
UPDATES AT 184 AND 246
CALL TO PRAY AS WE'D WANT PRAYED FOR WERE WE IN HIS SHOES.
AND FOR COMFORT AND PEACE THAT PASSES UNDERSTANDING FROM THE LORD ALONE.
MAY HIS FAITH BE STRENGTHENED IN HIS INNER MAN REGARDLESS OF CONSCIOUSNESS OR WHATEVER ELSE.
May the Doc left be supervised by angels.
May your Son-In-Law have a speedy and miraculous recovery that stuns the Doc and sends him--the Doc to his knees.
May The Blood of Jesus saturate his body and wipe out all illness, all infection, all malady, all distress, in Jesus' Name.
I thank you Lord that you are a God of healing, provision, and restoration. You are Sam’s healer. It is the will of God for him to be healed. You took our infirmities and bore our sicknesses. You said you heal all our diseases. You are Sam’s provider. Those who seek you will not lack any good thing. You will prosper him as his soul prospers. As we seek you first, you will add all things to us. All Sam’s needs are met in Jesus. You are the God of restoration. As we plead with you and walk pure and upright, you will rouse yourself on Sam’s behalf and restore him to his rightful place. You will restore what the cankerworm has eaten up. You restore his soul.
I plead the blood of Jesus over Sam’s body, mind, will, soul, and emotions. We repent of all sins. Sam will not fear the arrow by day or the terror by night.
I ask the Lord to send legions of angels to minister to Sam, protect him, battle for him, minister healing and restoration, and to surround him in the name of Jesus.
Lord, you cover his head; you have covered his head in the day of battle.
I thank you that the glory of the Lord is Sam’s rear guard.
WE UNDAM ANY UNGODLY BLOCKAGES FROM PREVENTING WHAT THE LORD IS TRYING TO GET TO SAM. HIM AND HIS FAMILY ARE POSITIONED FOR THE PURPOSES OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. THEY ARE IN THE RIGHT PLACES AT THE RIGHT TIMES. NO WEAPON FORMED AGAINST THEM PROSPERS AND EVERY TONGUE THAT RISES AGAINST THEM THEY SHALL CONDEMN. WORD CURSES OF OTHERS SHALL BEAR NO FRUIT IN THEIR LIVES. THEY ARE RETURNED IMMEDIATELY TO THE DEMONIC SOURCE FROM WHERE THEY CAME. THEY ARE FREE FROM ALL CURSES FOR JESUS CHRIST BECAME A CURSE FOR US AT CALVARY.
THEREFORE, SAM AND HIS FAMILY ARE ABUNDANTLY SUPPLIED, DIVINELY HEALTHY, COMPLETELY BEAUTIFUL, AND FULLY RESTORED. THEY ARE WHOLE AND THRIVING AS A TREE PLANTED BY THE DIVINE WATERS OF LIFE. JESUS IS THE WAY THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE. THEY ABIDE IN THE LORD JESUS CHRIST AND ARE FRUITFULL.
WE HAVE A JOSHUA CALEB SPIRIT AND SEE THAT ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE FOR US BECAUSE WE BELIEVE. WE GO FORWARD AND POSSESS THE PROMISED LAND BY THE POWER OF YOUR MIGHT. IT IS NOT BY OUR MIGHT OR BY OUR POWER BUT IT IS BY YOUR SPIRIT. HOLY HOLY HOLY IS THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY. ALL GODS PROMISES ARE YES AND AMEN.
Thanks for the ping, I didn’t know of the complications.
The above is an adaptation from “Spiritual Warfare Prayers” of the Demonbuster website.
If anyone reads it and agrees in prayer, I’ve discovered through trial and error that the above is most powerful when it is spoken audibly rather than as a silent prayer. Likely the reason is that it then also becomes a “decree” as well as a prayer (Job 22:28).
Doesn’t need to be loud, a whisper is fine if you’re at work or others sleep, as long as your lips are moving and the words come from your mouth.
AMEN! AMEN! AMEN!
THX THX.
