Pray & Vote

Dear Friends if we ever needed to pray for America, it is now.
We face some difficult times ahead as Christians and there is no getting around it. Neither candidate is really pro-christian and we need God to bless America. Please get out and vote and those that live in California please vote for Prop 8.
God has given us this right to express HIS opinion and we need to be public about it..
Pray and Vote.

Update Andrew burn victim.

Please continue to pray for Andrew, I will post part of his mother's letter..

Here are recent photos of Andrew from today. He is getting better. They have him completely weaned off the Dilaudid pain med and now have him only on Methadone, (synthetic morphine.) He is awake in and out. When he realizes that I am there, he starts crying, and raises his arms toward me. Then, he tries to sit up and get out of bed. They do not want him doing that yet because of the feeding tube, and all the heart monitor leads. They think that by this time next week, if he continues to do as well as he has been, they will be able to reduce him on the ventilator to only having the tube in without the line to the machine. This is good news. He desperately tries to talk. His eyes are still messy looking from the recent surgeries on them to help him be able to blink again. He currently cannot close his eyes. In about a week, they will remove thr sutures to see if he can move his eyelids. Please continue to pray that he heals not only in body, but in his soul and spirit. Pray that the Lord has cast out the demons from his mind that made him do this to himself. There is another person here in the Burn ICU who did the same thing to himself because the "voices" told him to purify himself with fire. I have been doing some research for a treatment and therapy home for Andrew to go into after he is well enough to leave the hospital, but there are none that treat his mental illness as well as his physical handicap recovery. But, I did talk to a lady who can guide me into starting one. She had a phone call from someone else's mom whose son did the same thing. It is a spirit of suicide by fire that we need the Lord to cast out of these people who are dual diagnosed with schizo-affective, bipolar illness, like Andrew. Pray that the Lord will help me make the right decisions as to taking care of Andrew in the future.

Pray for the USA

We are currently in a severe financial crisis and our country needs to get back to God. Christians need to be ready for hard times and get back to basics. Wall street and the economy are on the verge of collapse "right now" and they need prayer.
Pray for the presidential election as it is critical.

Pray for Andrew in San Diego

Christian friends of ours, have a son that went on the wrong path and has paid a heavy price. He was on drugs and ended up with some demon spirits that told him that the way to purify himself was through fire. He listened to the voices and set himself on fire. He has been in intensive care for over a month and has had many skin transplants. They have him in a induced coma and his eyes are sewn closed. He has no ears and lost the end of his nose..
Please pray for him that he will come back to the Lord and that God will have mercy on him.
He still also needs deliverance.

Please read and pray about this.

The title is "Children in the gay marriage, crosshairs" and you need to read this to believe it. then you will need to pray about this. This is a serious issue.

You might also think about whether you eat at McDonalds any more.
McDonald's strongly told us that they are reaffirming their commitment to -- they called it -- 'diversity,'" & that reaffirmation means throwing the McDonalds corporation's full weight into the cultural battle on the side of homosexuality

This really needs to be prayed about.

Check this link and remember to pray, I really find it difficult to believe how fast things are moving.

Also pray for us as we leave for the US on July 7. We need the Lord's hand over us as we travel as there are a lot of shootings by the drug gangs. Also we confront the gasoline prices when we cross the border. It will be quite a shock.

Interesting article you might want to read.

I found this very interesting, esp towards the end..

Pray for Loreto - Mexico

Pray for our little flock here, I am trying to prepare them for the times that are coming, and they have very little now. We depend totally on tourism and that is just drying up. I have already taught on end times and being good administrators of what we do have, and that God will take care of us no matter what..
Pray for our Drug Rehab outreach.
We also need musicians in the church
Christian marriages here are in bad shape.
I have even wondered if we shouldn´t start a Christian ranch here where we could co-op live and do some farming as well as helping each other out..
I am also wondering if Christians from the US wouldn´t be better off here. Gas at $2.70 and electricity and propane have been held to low prices because of the poor population here.
Anyway please pray for us as we guide our flock here..

End Time Question

Does anyone have or know of a good study on Revelations? I can get through the Seven Seals and then I get lost. I've been outlining the Chapters. Any help would be appreciated. I need to understand about the rapture. So far in my study there is a pre, middle, and end rapture theory.
I've discovered in the last 3 or 4 months i've been stocking up (it's not really hording - but maybe) on dry food stuffs, buying a lot of solar powered lighting, putting in a larger garden for canning, etc..
My husband and I have been kicking around what we would need to be totally self sufficient if we needed to be - like being out priced for our utilities. We're talking about buying a self contained heater (gel fuel) for heat in the winter, installing a hand pump on our well for water if we didn't have electricity, a bigger generator for freezer/refrigerator. We're not poor - pretty comfortable financially - but it is like we're being driven to provide for what seems to be an inevitability.
Is any of this happening for any of you? I'm trying so hard to keep everything in perspective but I keep thinking about Joseph in Egypt and the Brides having their oil full in order to meet the groom. Providing for anyone who is left and not wanting the mark of the beast. Some or all of our larder may provide for someone. Or is my perspective way off? I'd really like some feed back please?

Y/A R&S

Have you noticed how that on R&S the theme lately is just to push the gay agenda on the Christians there. I think that this is a future trend that we are going to be dealing with more and more in the real world..
Ministers in Canada are already being sued because they refuse to marry gay couples. Our home church is CA. is preparing for this in the near future.. First gay marriage, then they will show up at the church and demand that we marry them..
This is going to be a major Christian issue in the very near future and there will be no "get out of jail free" cards. It will separate the sheep from the goats, so to speak, and we had better be ready.
I think that Christians will all be praying for the rapture before it happens as times are getting very rough..
Here in Mexico we have to deal with the drug gangs killing people on the streets, and in our coming trip to the US we have to be extra careful where we go and to not drive at night anywhere until we get across the border.. Life would be scary without the Lord to guide us.
Anyway I would appreciate prayer for our trip July 7 & 8 as we drive towards the border..
Life in the end times..

YA prayer request

This is a prayer request of ‘the days of Elijah’ she has ovarian cancer in the later stages and asks that we pray for relief of pain that her passing would be peaceful. She expects to be home with the Lord in the near future. Please also pray for reconciliation as her mother is not speaking to her.

The End of the Age

The whole of Christianity is waiting for the coming of Christ, with Israel celebrating 60 years as a nation being a significant milestone.. The question we ask is "how long is a generation" and if we take the 70 years that God has given us as a life span, then the rapture can not be far off.. And if we are that last generation, then we have work to do for our master.
Personally in our Church we are getting rapture ready and preaching the Gospel as never before. We preach on the streets every Tuesday as well as in the drug rehab centers here where we live.
I believe that we have max, 10 years before we are out of here, and it could be a very difficult time ahead for Christians.. I also realize that no one knows the day or the hour, but the signs of the times is being seen on the nightly news.
The USA is headed down a path that will take it to destruction and there are no heroes on the horizon these days.
This is my first time to write on here, but I will do some more as things continue to unfold in the prophetic times that we are in..

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!! Please pray for the next President of this country not to push Israel to give up any of Jerusalem to the "Palestinians". Please study up on who these ppl really are. Study how many times Israel has tried to make peace with them only to have their efforts thrown back in the faces of the Iraeli ppl.
