Abba Father, we lift up before Your Throne of Grace our men and women who are in the various stations around the globe doing battle to keep freedom and peace! We ask for You to surround them with Your loving protection, and return them safely to their loved ones. We do pray for peace and the return of our nation as ‘One Nation Under God’! We ask for the fighting to end quickly and restoration to be prompt in Jesus Mighty Name, amen and amen!

Oh Abba, thank YOU for a new and marvelous year! At church last night we shared how all will be fine in 2009! That, along with the timely word that our dear sister, Cheryl, posted on the Walking in the F.O.G. section (I encourage you to read it and post your comments) have everything falling right into place. Lord, You are so awesome! How I praise You and thank You for Your goodness in our lives! For Your guidance and direction, Your love, encouragement . . . Your blessings never cease to amaze me!
You reign in splendor and majesty! May You rule and reign within my heart and reveal to all the world Your love through me! I desire to be Your Hand extended this year to all that You place along my pathway, both in the natural and online. In Jesus Mighty Name, amen and amen!
Karin
You alone, Lord, are worthy of all honor, glory and praise! You are so awesome in our lives! I thank You for Your divine presence in my life this day. I thank You for Your provided healing on Calvary’s cross, and we apply that by faith to our bodies calling them to come in line with Your Word that says we ARE healed! I especially uplift a very dear sister-in-Christ, Faye. She begins her radiation and chemotherapy in the morning. All things ARE possible with our Savior! We thank You, Lord, in advance for Your awesome hand at work in our lives, today and tomorrow and always, amen.
We have several requests for prayers today:
1. Anonymous: My mother has a tumor in her intestine and will undergo surgery today. Please pray this surgery will go well and pray for wisdom for the surgeons; and that the cancer will be removed.
2. Karen: Pray for my dear friend whose husband is no longer in the church. Please join me, as you have so many times before, and pray that God will soften his heart, heal his wounds, and restore love back into their marriage.
3. Brenda: Please pray for my son, Cass who was healed from stomach/esophagus cancer and is now experiencing more problems. Pray the cancer has not returned.
4. Barbara: Please pray for my friend Jackie who has a cancerous growth behind her eye. She is undergoing treatment and praying she will not lose her eyesight.
Your friend,

“JILL AUSTIN Has Gone Home
to Be with Jesus
At 9:48 CST January 9, 2009″
From the desk of Steve Shultz:
I’m so sorry to report that we have lost a real warrior tonight in Jill Austin. But she is Dancing with her Beloved as we speak. As I wrote earlier, Jill was one of the first in my life to demonstrate the power of God. This is a true loss to the Body of Christ.
Let’s be praying for Jill’s family and loved ones at this time – pray for the Great Comforter to surround them with great comfort.
Blessings,
Steve Shultz

The following text was taken directly from http://www.masterpotter.com:
Our beloved Jill went home to be with Jesus – naturally at 9:48pm CST. Thank you all for standing with us and praying. She is now with her best friend, Holy Spirit, and Dancing with Her Destiny.
For those of you who are just reading this, on January 6th, doctors found that her intestines were twisted, cutting off her blood supply, after which infection set in. Doctors said that if she wasn’t in surgery within a day, she would be gone. She did have surgery and also underwent a second emergency surgery. Jill had part of her stomach, part of her intestines and part of her colon removed, but her body was unable to recover, and God called her home.
Master Potter was founded by Jill Austin. Jill has traveled extensively for over 25 years as a national and international conference speaker, ministering the Gospel with signs and wonders following. She has a powerful prophetic anointing and releases the fire of the Holy Spirit, bringing fresh passion and hunger for Jesus Christ.
The heart of Master Potter is to see the presence of the Lord and His glory fill the earth so that churches, cities, nations, and continents will have encounters with Jesus Christ. This will usher in radical salvations, the return of prodigals, healings, deliverances, signs, wonders, and miracles everywhere!
The Body of Christ must move outside the walls of the Church and take the prophetic to the streets as well. Master Potter desires to train and equip believers to move in their areas of influence and walk in their destiny for Kingdom purposes.
At approximately 2:30 a.m. January 10, 2009, Betty J. Smith went to be with the Lord. In 2 hours, her body was on its way to a college north of Atlanta, where her organs will be donated. Therefore, there will be no service scheduled.
Her daughter, Catlyn Vickers, was with her when she passed. She had been with her for about 2 hours, after being called by the nursing home where she had been since September.
On August 29, 2008, Betty experienced a severe headache and disorientation. Although she fought it, she was finally taken to the hospital the following week. After an examination, she was rushed by ambulance to Emory Hospital in Atlanta. After more testing, it was determined that she’d had an anuerysm at the back of her brain. That means she was bleeding in her brain.
They did surgery to stop the bleeding, but from that point on, her mind was gone. She was totally unable to care for herself and had to be placed in a nursing home which offered extensive rehabilitation, but she never really responded to the treatment and eventually was not eating at all.
The nursing home was only about 2 miles from where Betty’s daughter lives, so she could look in on her regularly as well as taking care of her laundry, etc. I went to see her daily, for about 2 months, until she was completely unresponsive. Then, it was every few days.
Betty is now with the Lord, healthy and happy. It’s good to know she’s with the One she loved the most as well as with her loved ones who’ve gone on ahead. She’s rejoicing with the whole heavenly host. PTL!
In Him,
Arnie

Please, join me in praying for two men. A father and son, both fighting drug issues. The father, Bill, has completed his treatment and is now in The Word and making a go of it, but his wife is finding it hard to forgive him. His son, John, is currently in detox. Both of them, and their families, need our prayer cover for total victory!
Abba Father, thank You for the work You have begun in these lives. Thank You for Your love, Your mercy, Your grace and Your forgiveness. I ask that You work in the hearts of the extended family for forgiveness and acceptance of the changes that You are bringing forth in their lives. I ask for restoration and complete healing in every area in Jesus Mighty Name. amen and amen.
Please, join me in praying for the Walker family. Our dear brother, Danny, went Home to be with Jesus and he is now rejoicing in Glory with his sweet Savior and his loved ones that have gone on before. He is free from all that hindered his life here on earth in the past years, and I am glad that he and Deb are now together. They were best of friends here! Oh, what a glorious reunion!
Thanks!

A Prayer for Barack Obama:
Father, You instructed us to pray for those in authority, and we lift up Barak Obama. We thank You for the anointing that has abided over the office of the president of the Unites States since the time our forefathers dedicated this country to Jesus Christ. We pray that our new president will abide under that same covering. We extend the common honor to Barak Obama that has been ascribed to all in his position.
God, we thank You for placing favor on the highest office in our land. We ask for Your protection for Obama and his family during the upcoming presidential inauguration. We bind every attack from the Arian Nation, covert Nazi organizations, skinheads or any other racist group that specifically hates and targets people of color. We bind all terrorist assignments from local, national and international conspiracies against our president, government and other political leaders.
We bind the resurrection of the Black Panthers (specifically the New Black Panthers). We break the power of demonic influences from any race retaliation groups in the inner cities of America. We turn the words of their demonic doctrine and declare that black people are not taking over America. We break the power of revenge from these groups against the president because he did not put all black people in his cabinet. We decree that innocent black people will not be terrorized in their neighborhoods by white supremacists, and innocent white people will not be terrorized by black supremacists.
Father, we ask You to reveal Your Son Jesus to our new president as the only way to God. We ask You to cause him to have a Saul-to-Paul experience. Release the pricks and goads upon his heart at an accelerated pace so that his heart will turn to the righteousness of Jesus Christ. Deliver him and let him experience a genuine new birth in his spirit. God, deal with our president about the innocent bloodshed of the unborn and the sanctity of marriage.
Open doors for true prophets to speak to Obama in the White House. We bind the ministry of psychics, the teaching of black liberation theology, and every New Age and secular humanist doctrine away from the White House.
God, put Your angels around the White House. As the president is escorted down the streets of Washington, D.C., during the inauguration, let there be no breaches in security. Let the angels fill in the gaps, in Jesus’ name.
Abba Father, we here at 4-Given Ministries, and Fogwalker Prayer and Praise stand in agreement with our sister, Kim. We do lift up our newly elected President, and thank You for Your faithfulness to those who love You and serve You with their whole hearts. We ask that You surround and protect our nation and envelope President Obama with Your mighty warrior angels . . . soften his heart to receive Your direction as only through You can he lead us down the paths of righteousness.
Thank you, Kim, for your prayers.
All prayer warriors . . . we MUST uplift our leadership on a daily basis! We MUST cover our nation and stay humble before our Lord, seeking first His face above all else. We WILL rise, once again as “one nation under God”!

Abba Father,
Let my sisters & brothers know that I love them today !
I ask for answers to their needs to be met this day.
Make a way that seems not to be seen by their own eyes
Help them see through YOUR EYES !
I ask that the windows of Heaven be opened up
And let the blessings that are stored up for them be released and Shower down upon them all , the abundance that comes only From YOU LORD, that YOU desire for them to receive.
Give to them the desires of their hearts and fill their hearts
With the joy of The Lord, help to know that there lies their strength!
I ask for doors that need to opened for them that only YOU can open On their behalf. Shut the doors that need to be shut so they do Not take the wrong path.
Help them to acknowledge You always in all their ways
So their paths can be directed by YOU alone.
Wrap YOUR ARMS around them and LOVE them through
Every trial and test that they have to walk through
Cause them to know that YOU are right there holding them Every step of the way Until they accomplished all that YOU HAVE SET before them to do.
In Jesus Mighty Name I pray !
Amen & Amen
Thank you, Thelma, for this wonderful, heart-felt prayer! What an awesome friend you are, indeed!
For years I have thanked our Lord for you as a prayer warrior in my life! I have said it before, and I will say it again, and again throughout my entire life . . . I KNOW that I would not have made it through the last few years of taking care of Deb without the fervent prayers you bombarded heaven with on my behalf.
I know your reward will be ever so great!!!!
Bless you, dear one!

PRAYER WARRIORS . . . CRY OUT!!!!
Dear ones, we have an urgent prayer request. A very young couple, Nicole (19) and Nathan (21) have had their son, Carson, delivered by emergency C-Section. He has water on the brain, and has had surgery to place a shunt inside. He is holding his own, but is not suckling and needs to be fed, for now, through a tube. Also his hands remain in a clenched position and the doctors have been unable to open them. Please, help me to pray for this dear family. They are crying out for God to show up and show out to astonish the doctors and nurses, as well as for complete wholeness for little Carson and peace and strength for Nicole and Nathan. Nicole desires to quit her job and stay home to care for him, please, also pray for the means to come through so that this will be possible!
Thank you and God bless you, all!
Abba Father, You formed Carson within Nicole’s womb, and he is fearfully and wonderfully made. We call his body in line with Your Word, speaking total health and healing into his being. We do ask for a miracle. We do expect the medical professionals to be totally amazed and astonished at Your awesome hand at work in his life. We thank You, too, Abba, for Your peace to flood through this family and for taking care of all their needs. In Jesus Mighty Name, amen and amen!
