This is meant to be gathering place for prayers and prayer requests on behalf of Terri and her family.
Agreeing with you, in Jesus' name. What a lovely, powerful prayer. Oh God, that you would rend the heavens, and let your mercy flow down.
Amen
Amen through my tears, dear sister Pegita.
// Oh God, that you would rend the heavens, and let your mercy flow down. // -- YES! as this day winds up, I ask myself again, why not? why should Terri not get out alive? and again I ask it by Your power, Your grace, Your mercy, as You will. We pray that we always remember Who You are, the God, the Creator of all life and Sustainer of all, and that we do not make You too small to save as You will. Help precious Terri -- there is no reason for this innocent woman to die . . . we ask for her life, and why not? In Jesus' Name, Amen.
that is lovely -- thank you so much for sharing that jewel! More than we can ask or imagine for Terri, O Lord, we do ask and imagine it!
How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord,
Is laid for your faith in His excellent Word!
What more can He say than to you He hath said,
You, who unto Jesus for refuge have fled?
In every condition, in sickness, in health;
In poverty’s vale, or abounding in wealth;
At home and abroad, on the land, on the sea,
As thy days may demand, shall thy strength ever be.
Fear not, I am with thee, O be not dismayed,
For I am thy God and will still give thee aid;
I’ll strengthen and help thee, and cause thee to stand
Upheld by My righteous, omnipotent hand.
When through the deep waters I call thee to go,
The rivers of woe shall not thee overflow;
For I will be with thee, thy troubles to bless,
And sanctify to thee thy deepest distress.
When through fiery trials thy pathways shall lie,
My grace, all sufficient, shall be thy supply;
The flame shall not hurt thee; I only design
Thy dross to consume, and thy gold to refine.
Even down to old age all My people shall prove
My sovereign, eternal, unchangeable love;
And when hoary hairs shall their temples adorn,
Like lambs they shall still in My bosom be borne.
The soul that on Jesus has leaned for repose,
I will not, I will not! desert to its foes;
That soul, though all hell should endeavor to shake,
I’ll never, no never, no never forsake.
I have heard it said, "Where there is life, there is hope." On that I will rest this morning.
Prayer bump for Terri and her family and friends.
I am singing my morning song to you. You always ask Your Children to sing, and pray without fainting. I sing " come into Your Presence singing Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah;Come into Your Presence singing Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah. You Oh King are all POWER, HONOR, and all KNOWING.
Omipotent ,Almightly God. We cry out to you, " Worthy is the Lamb that was slain, to recieve GLORY, and HONOR , Forever and ever. We bring our petitions to You this day.
Again we ask for a miracle for Terri. We ask for justice dear Father. You alone know what is the Perfect answer for Terri's life. If it is within that Will, I ask that Terri be continually sustained by food that we know not of. "Fill Her cup Lord, We lift it up Lord, Come and quench the Thirsting of her soul, and I add body"...............we turn to YOU. We will give YOU all our praise today.
Lord I ask that you work in the heart of our leaders. It seems that there is so much corruption clear to the top. Use Terri I pray to bring the walls of corruption down. As the walls of Jerico came tumbling down with Joshua and his army, I pray that You will bring the walls of corruption down with Terri and her army. We commit this day to You. For Your Glory and Your sake, Amen
Yesterday as I was getting ready for prayer, I unplugged the phones, got my bible, anointing oil, communion, I lit a candle and took off my shoes.
I went to the computer and "x'd" out of everything. I then entered a site from Princeton University where you can play vaious masses that were put to music from the `1400's. Absolutely beautiful background for praying.
I began to pray and enter the presence of God. All of a sudden the music stopped and I heard moaning coming out of the speakers.
I ran to the den and I HEARD Terri. I also heard Bob Schlinder speaking to her and could hear his words so clearly and Terri's responses of moanings.
I went to my knees and in almost a trance like state and began warfare.
I was pretty shaken, I wondered if some wires got crossed and it just got picked up, I don't keep up with all the details of Terri's case, but I scan through and pray. I knew there was some kind of tape that was made. Bottom line, because of the prayer that followed this experience, I believe it was from God.
This morning, I went through the same preparation for prayer, I went back to the Princeton site, but chose another mass. Again, I heard the music and then I heard Terri again. I had the presence of mind to write down the transcript. It starts out by Mr. Schlinder saying "Are you going to smile for Daddy?" Has anyone heard of such a tape? I believe that God took me into Terri's room and allowed me to hear them. I need wisdom and I usually keep things to myself, but not this time, I believe it needs to be shared.
My only response this morning was deep sobbing.
Heavenly Father,
I just heard Bobby Schindler on Glenn Beck's program saying that they are working at getting emergency legislation passed today in FL to save Terri.
Father God, we pray that if it be Your will, that You will speak to the hearts of these legislatures. Soften their hearts, Lord, and give them an urgency they've never felt before to work quickly and in unity to save this precious woman's life who is fighting so hard to live.
We thank You for Jesse Jackson's support for what is right, and ask that You work through this unlikely person to save Terri also.
Lord, it's a miracle that Terri has held on this long, and so we come before You expecting more miracles that will show that YOU are in control, and we know that YOU will get all the glory, not man.
We ask You to preserve Terri's life Lord; give her food and drink that we know not of. Just as you preserved Moses' life for 40 days and 40 nights without food or water, we ask that you preserve Terri's life as long as is needed until she can receive nourishment and hydration once again.
We thank You and praise You and ask all this in JESUS' NAME, and for His glory, Amen.
May our beloved Terri be surrounded with Ministering Angels, singing glorious anthems of praise to You, O God. May their presence touch the depth of her soul with comfort and ease. The time for the release of her beautiful soul is at hand, yet we continue to pray that she be redeemed from the pit. May the conscience of a nation be pricked for a murder thus committed, that moral outrage might hold sway over the Merchants of Death, that they be swept away.
May the God of All Comfort walk with the Schindlers as they see the end approach. May there be many things that come back to bless their hearts, for they have given this nation a beautiful picture of a loving family, with faith in their God. Speak to their innermost being, O God, with assurance that Terri knows their love, and they know hers. Overwhelm them with an outpouring from those who have loved their beautiful daughter, that they might be sustained. To You, O God, be the Glory ... even in sorrow, great things You continue to do. In the Name of Jesus, we pray, Amen ...
Heavenly Father, we return to thank You that the Florida Legislature might yet come together as one to snatch this mother's child from the grip of the Merchants of Death. Cause them to make haste, O God, for our beloved friend is in great need. Sustain her, Merciful Father ... may every whisper of her sweet name bring added strength to her ... may every groan and sighing be food and drink for her ... stay the hands of those who would hasten her death ... prevent anyone from touching her in any way but in love. Guard her, O God, guard her. In the Name of Jesus, we pray, Amen ...
Psalm 57
Have mercy on me, O God, have mercy on me,
for in you my soul takes refuge.
I will take refuge in the shadow of your wings
until the disaster has passed.
I cry out to God Most High,
to God, who fulfills {his purpose} for me.
He sends from heaven and saves me,
rebuking those who hotly pursue me; Selah
God sends his love and his faithfulness.
I am in the midst of lions;
I lie among ravenous beasts-
men whose teeth are spears and arrows,
whose tongues are sharp swords.
Be exalted, O God, above the heavens;
let your glory be over all the earth.
They spread a net for my feet-
I was bowed down in distress.
They dug a pit in my path-
but they have fallen into it themselves. Selah
My heart is steadfast, O God,
my heart is steadfast; I will sing and make music.
Awake, my soul! Awake, harp and lyre!
I will awaken the dawn.
I will praise you, O Lord, among the nations;
I will sing of you among the peoples.
For great is your love, reaching to the heavens;
your faithfulness reaches to the skies.
Be exalted, O God, above the heavens;
let your glory be over all the earth.
Thank You, God, for answers . . . we pray for Terri's strength and wellbeing, for her support in ways we cannot even understand, for people at the hospice to fear You as a holy God and Father of Terri. Be with all those seeking good for Terri, bring light to dark hearts -- we pray in Jesus' Name, Amen.
In Your Word do we hope. In Your unfailing love and Your steadfast ways we place our trust. In Your promise to never leave us nor forsake us, we see a glimpse of what You are doing for Your beloved child, Terri. Father, we shall not abandon her in our prayers until her last breath has escaped her. Gracious God, we acknowledge that You are working mightily and that You have touched the hearts of those who have powerful voices in this nation. Thank You, Lord, for calling Jesse Jackson to speak out on her behalf. O God, we pray that You would work through him to convince the Florida legislators to take another vote and to push through legislation that would save Terri's life. Yes, Father, many may doubt that anything can now bring her back, but You, Great God, are the Keeper of her life. Her times are in Your hands. You decided the day she was born and You will decide the day she dies. Father, we pray that even in this late hour, when so much injustice has been dealt, that You would allow this nation to redeem itself and would carefully arrange for the rescue of Terri from the brink of death. Father, we confess that NOTHING is too difficult for You. We again place her in Your arms this night, asking You to sustain her with Your Living Water and the pure Manna of Your nourishing heart of love. O God, let it be that You would allow this victory for Terri and for the cause of life in this nation. In the Name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
What an amazing experience you had! I believe that when we make ourselves available to the Lord through prayer and when we are fully committed to being useful to Him, we'd better be prepared for anything! How wonderful that You were there for Him, ready to pray, ready to be an instrument of His peace and love!
Do not worry about wisdom. You are a New Creation and the Word tells us that Christ has been made wisdom unto us. You have His wisdom, His power within you! I am so glad that You were willing to stand in the gap for Terri. May His Name be glorified in Your prayers and may Terri be blessed because of Your commitment to His love, His power, His truth, and His Will. We shall give Him all the praise and glory! Thank you, PTL, for sharing your experience.
Amen and Amen!!
Mighty Father, everlasting Lord, You who are able to save and to heal, we lift up to You sweet Terri tonight, and pray for Your comfort to surround her , and Your power to strengthen her, and Your angels to watch over her as she rests and tries to live. Lord, it would be our will that You would bring Terri back to full health, both mind and body. But, if not, we pray for her to be comfortable and peaceful and for Your comfort to rest upon her family as well. Lord, glorify Yourself in this situation and let our nation understand the severity of these times and repent from her evil inclinations. Embrace Terri, now, Lord. And, if it be Your will restore her to us and her family, but if not, welcome her into Your loving arms. For it is in Jesus' name that I pray these things.
Amen.
Amen! Lord hear our cries. Be near to Terri and her family. Preserve her and her health if that be Your will. Work in the hearts of the legislatures for Your glory. We'll give You ALL the praise, no matter what happens. For it is in YOU we put our trust. IN JESUS' NAME, Amen.
Heavenly Father, we return to thank You that we can yet stand Vigil around the bedside of this mother's child. Sustain her through the night, O God, as we continue to whisper her sweet name before the Throne of Grace. Refresh her with food and drink from the Hand of God ... protect her now as surely as she was protected in her mother's womb. Bring her forth again in newness of life, Merciful Father, just as surely as You brought her forth to her mother and father on her first day. Let not the Merchants of Death have their sacrificial lamb ... deny them their prize. May each effort and each prayer and each tear that has been spent for this wounded woman, now unite to bring her back from the brink of death. May hardened hearts be softened, may the people see the great and mighty things You have done ... may we fall before You in abject repentance ... lay not our sins against this innocent lamb. Even in this late hour, O God, we continue to plead that the love of mother and father and sister and brother would be vindicated ... restore their beloved, in the Name of Jesus, the Christ, we pray, Amen ...
