The Lord called three of us into a prayer mission in the late 70’s, and little did I know then, the long journey He had placed us on. We each had a desire to reach out to people who had lost hope from illnesses, imprisonment, perceived failures, and who faced the multitudes of real life challenges. Our hearts were burdened for people who had the heart felt question, “Does anyone out there care that I am hurting?”
We prayed and plunged in with a fervor, designing one or two page letters with embedded pictures, poems, scriptures, and uplifting notes of encouragement. It wasn’t long and we were hand mailing over 300 of these letters.
Our outreach was called: “The Candlestick Messenger”
As the internet developed, we designed other intercessory prayer website that reached out to all first responders who live extremely stressful lives and often lay their lives down for others. The Candlestick Messenger, First Responder, and our Christian music websites did outreach for over 20 years and can only be because they existed to glory Jesus, and God, the Father. Now the LORD has called us to join our outreach of love and prayer support through "Watch the Sparks Fly" and fly they will because the LORD wants to bless His family.
Through the years, miracles were revealed through the power of prayers. Relationships were made among families, friends, emergency responders, and acquaintances ~ many of whom we will not meet until we are Heaven side. It has been a supernatural bonding of brothers and sisters through Jesus Christ.
As Intercessory Prayer Warriors, we are not judges, or gossips. We are called to pray in one accord over specific requests! To be in one accord it is important to know:
1) for whom you are praying, i.e. a first name, nickname...
2) identify specifically what God is being asked to do, i.e. healing, deliverance, etc.
In order to line up our prayer request with the Word of our Almighty God in the Bible, basic information is important. It allows the scriptures to be applied to specific life challenges and crises. We are given the authority to use the name of Jesus and to plead the blood of Jesus upon these specific requests.
Amazing things often happen!
I am grateful that there are people willing to pray for others and to storm the gates of Hell with confidence believing that our God says “nothing is impossible” in His supernatural realm.
We are promised eternal life by accepting that his only beloved son, Jesus Christ, came to earth, lived among us in the flesh, was crucified on the cross, arose from the dead, and ascended to Heaven to prepare a place for us to one day live eternally. This beautiful land beyond our imagination is called “Heaven.”
As you share our inspirational posts, we pray you will experience the peace of Jesus Christ in knowing that you are loved...
