Dear Ones,
Hope you wake to a prayerful day! I plan to make egg/ham dishes and go to my exercise class and later Bible Study.
Devotions from Judy’s heart
Have you often experienced God placing burdens on your heart to pray and do warfare against the enemy” Perhaps, you watch the news and see the chaos in our country, and you feel a heaviness, or maybe you have a family member who is living far from the Lord is God calling you to be an intercessor? We are all to be available and obedient when the Holy Spirit lays burdens on our hearts to be faithful to pray and intercede. We are not to brush it off but be sensitive and to pray as He directs us. We have no idea what a marvelous difference our prayers can make. “The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working.” (James 5:16) The Amplified version says, “The earnest (heart-felt), continued prayer of a righteous man makes tremendous power available (dynamic in its working).”

It is time we all wake up and pray and intercede as never before. I believe the Lord is calling people together, even whole churches to pray against what is happening in our world as Satan is getting more and more bold. Can you imagine if not just one righteous man is interceding, what happens when a whole group or a church prays and interceded together? It is powerful!! Let us not underestimate it. We can pray for our families, our cities, our nation, and the world. Then enemy wants us to be apathetic and tells us we can’t make a difference, but great things happen when we pray!

Lately I have been reading of the many miracles happening when people gathered to pray, and I will just share one that happened some years ago in Hemet, CA. It was known as “Cult Haven” as it was filled with occult activity, gangs operating, and named the methamphetamine capital for the West Coast. Even the cops were corrupt and peddling dope in their cruisers. Because of the prayers of intercession amongst the churches and unity, one entire gang came to the Lord, church membership doubled, gang involvement declined greatly, cult membership nearly disappeared, and corruption of law enforcement was gone. Just think of the fruit of united prayer! Let us pray and unite and never give up!

Challenge for today Be a faithful prayer warrior and join others in unity to pray for our families, churches and nation.
Blessings and prayers and love, Judy
