More Prayer

I am seeking out/finding/needing a present intercessor for myself here. There's a lot that goes on that I don't understand, that is new, that is spiritually-linked to this land (good and bad) and I'm in need of confirmation, affirmation, encouragement, guidance and someone to agree with the Father face to face with me. On Saturday night I attended a evening service at a church and was certain I was going to cry, I did, when this subject came up. So I'd like to ask you to join in with me in praying for this, for someone to listen to me, for me to listen to and pray with, for and receive from.

Thank you.

A few things from the past couple weeks...

1. Since getting the book "Hidden Power of Prayer and Fasting" I've been realizing the expectation, need and purpose of fasting in a new way- also a sense of need to be faithful in it.

I have not been doing a good job in being faithful with fasting until these past few weeks. God has really blessed me in those times of fasting and I've just been so thankful for what he's been doing!

2. Three weeks ago while I was fasting (Wednesdays are my fasting days)- I was under such severe attack physically and emotionally that work was almost impossible - I was vomiting and unable to eat or drink or function pretty much. To fall asleep and manage to eat or drink something Matt had to pray over me and worship.

I went to Life Group and Karma and I were able to pray together and encourage each other because we'd both been fasting and experiencing a lot struggles yet break through and it was just what I needed to keep pressing on.

Thursday I was feeling better, still under some attack but having little breakthroughs, Friday the same, Saturday the same and FINALLY Sunday I was feeling good and Monday I was back to normal! I had been sure that after the fast was over the struggle would be too, but it wasn't- and that was really hard for me to deal with but with faith and perseverance and Matt's faith and dedication I overcame.

Now three weeks later, faced with some difficult situations with people around me, those days of trial and difficulty I really were for my edification to be useful in the difficult things that have been brought to my attention and needing my support to overcome.

The Lord has been so faithful and good. I hope this has been encouraging!

3. I didn't "know" I needed some guidance and to hear what we talked about on Tuesday night, with the whole testimony/ your life is the testimony/ etc theme but God really spoke to me and was just like "This is for you. You didn't know you needed it but you do and I'm affirming you in who I've created you to be..." pretty much... And it was just such a blessing to me and a gift from God. I'm so glad we serve a God that knows what we need and gives it to us even when we don't know! :) Praise God for him being who he is and being faithful in that!

4. I could use some help and encouragement with the newer memory verses- I read them but I'm just struggling... Keep me in your prayers if you could for revelation of the word and that it can really get rooted in my soul. I really want to carry the word around in me! I really do!

Blessings everyone and much love to you all. I'm so proud of how I've seen EVERYONE in the group grow, keep up the faithfulness to Him!

Prayer Request for Thailand

Does anyone read these?

Okay, prayer request.

Please pray for Thailand.

The country is having party protests to oust certain powers. Pray that protests will be done peacefully. School's have been closed down as a result of possible unsafety resulting.

That family restoration, country restoration will be imparted mightily on this country. Pray also for reclamation of families, marriages and roles of children, men and women as children, men and women. Oh, and reclamation of God's generational blessing in place where lies have been spoken, believed and cultivated. This is a rich, beautiful land. It is. God's worshippers dwell here without the knowledge of being His.

If you want more explanation or clarification of anything I'd love to tell more.
