Calling All Prayer Warriors

Matthew 18:19-20 "Again, I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything you ask for, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven. For where two or three come together in my name, there am I with them."

As you read this a wife of a distant relative of Andy's, Jill Bane, is fighting this horrible disease we call cancer. On January 16th, 2009, Parker and Jill welcomed baby Ella into this world. Shortly after Ella was born Jill was having complications and was transferred to Barnes Jewish Hospital in St. Louis. It was there they discovered that she has Burkitt's Lymphoma, and her battle with cancer began.

Since her diagnosis Jill has overcome many obstacles and beaten many odds. She recently had a stem cell transplant, however the lymphoma is persisting and the Doctors fear that the graft won't be able to fight the cancer. I'm not a Doctor, no do I know a lot about how this medical stuff works. What I do know is that Satan is a liar and the God we serve is Mighty! Our God can do all things; for He is the Creator and the Mighty Healer.

Someone posted on the Bane's blog the following today:

CALL ALL PRAYER WARRIORS: Let's all continue to join our hands - symbolically - to form a prayer circle around Jill and her family. The challenge is to pray together at the same time - let's say 12 noon - and pray for a miracle.

Dear God, We implore Your powerful intercession to take this cancer from Jill's body. We ask for Your mercy to help Jill at this hour of need. Our prayers for this miracle are sincere and strong. We believe You are the Only True Healer of all things. In Your Holy Name we pray. Amen.

Deuteronomy 32:30 says, How could one man chase a thousand, or two put ten thousand to flight, unless their Rock had sold them, unless the LORD had given them up?

We are mighty in prayer, but we can be mightier when we join together. When we join in unity in prayer, we can do ten times as much as we can by ourselves. God's Word shows there is strength in unity, in many believers coming together as one. It is not that I believe that God answers many before one, but together we are stronger, have more faith joined together, and are more powerful.

Satan is a liar, and seeks to destroy us. When we hear that there is no hope that is Satan's lies. Our God is victorious, He has already won, we just need to stand strong in that victory and believe that God is who He says He is and that He can do what He says He can do.

So while I ask that you pray every day at 12 noon, I also ask that you pray without ceasing. Pray that God would move in Jill and there would be no question the healing came from His mighty hand. I ask that you pray for a miracle to be performed here on earth. That no matter what healing path He takes Jill on that He be glorified and more people would come to know Him as their Father because of Jill's battle. We ask healing for Jill in the name of Jesus.
