Prayer Time In The Rescue!

Jesse Birkey's picture

Submitted by Jesse Birkey on September 02, 2013 - 23:02

I like that picture!  Anyway,

I absolutely love walking into a stranger’s house that called for help to find a bible open on a stand just inside the front door.  It fills me with joy because I know I'm going to get to spend some time with God in corporate prayer :).

This is what happened when we (my partner and I) were called to help a lady who had some medical issues.  When I opened the front door I saw a bible open to Psalms on a stand.  My happy heart and I continued on into the house and found our patient.

She was pretty beat up and since it was first thing in the morning, she was in for a rough day.  I got all of the information I needed and we loaded her up into the rescue (ambulance).

As we were on our way to the hospital I asked her what church she went to.  She told me and I asked her what her husband did at the church.  She told me that he is an elder.  I told her a little about how and where we fellowship and about my love for Jesus.  Then I asked her if it would be ok if I prayer for her.  She looked at me with complete surprise on her face and said, "Yes please do that".  

I began to pray for her and the Lord filled my heart with even more love and compassion.  He gave me some words to say to her that were just so encouraging and filled with His love for her.  I also prayed for God to heal her injuries and chronic problems.  Peace filled the rescue as we arrived at the hospital.

I was able to check on her later on and she was doing great.  I was able to meet the rest of the family who were all touched by how God ministered to her in the back of the rescue.

Thank you Lord for how you love us and use us ordinary people to be extensions of your love!

I want to challenge you next time you are talking with someone who is sharing some hardship with you to ask the Lord if you should pray for the person right there on the spot.

Blessings,

Jesse and Kara Birkey

Fulfill Your Financial Destiny

Fulfill Your Financial Destiny

by Mark and Patti Virkler | 66 Pages

Though the economic system (mammon) of this world is under a curse, we have received instructions for how to move out from that dominion and into the blessing of the Kingdom of God. God’s promises to His children have not changed with the whims of government or Wall Street, nor have His directions for how to walk in those promises. We can “choose not to participate” in the economic recession that is around us if we instead choose to obey the logos and rhema of the Lord and enjoy the blessings that result.

Health Mastery Through MRT

Wouldn't it be great if there were a way for my body to tell me exactly what it needs and desires, without having to take expensive or invasive tests? Wouldn't it be amazing if I could perform these tests as often as I wanted, right in my own home (or anywhere I wanted), with no costly instruments necessary?

Hearing God Through Biblical Meditation

by Mark and Patti Virkler | 179 Pages | $15.99 retail list price

For many years I studied the Bible incorrectly, and it produced death rather than life. Even though I had a knowledge of the Scriptures, I did not personally experience the life and the realities they revealed. The Bible calls this the ministry of death, rather than the ministry of righteousness (2 Cor. 3:6–9). Upon coming out of Bible college, I found myself just like the apostle Paul, attacking those who disagreed with my theology.

How Do You Know?

by Mark and Patti Virkler | 180 Pages

How do you know? What is the process you use to discover truth? I did not ask that question during the first 25 years of my life. I used eleven different methods for discovering truth including: if my parents said so, then it was so. If my teacher said it was so, then it was so. If my pastor said it was so, then it was so. If my theology said it was so, then it was so. I have discarded them all and adopted a twelfth method, which is in harmony with what the Bible teaches. We teach you this method in this book.

How to Walk by the Spirit

How to Walk by the Spirit

by Mark and Patti Virkler | 136 Pages | Previous name "Sense Your Spirit"

Are you like many western Christians who have been taught little about how to sense their spirits? Do you have trouble even defining what spirit sensations feel like within you, much less recognizing them? This training was birthed from Mark’s passion to live out of his spirit, and thus release the anointing of God. The problem he faced was lack of clear biblical definition as to what his spirit felt like. So Mark looked up every verse in the Bible on heart and spirit.
