		<description>Gracious Abba Father, Your goodness, loving compassion, provision, healing, hope, peace, joy, happiness, kindness, mercy, (I could go on and on) amaze me! How can we ever even begin to express our gratitude for your love over us?! We can not . . . but, You see our hearts, You KNOW the depth of our feelings - the worship of You that rises up from deep within our spirit to Your throne! Oh, Lord, how great You are! How awesome Your presence - the glory of it! I do not ever want to be away from Your presence, not for a moment! 

I rejoice in You, my King! I exalt Your Name! I proclaim Your greatness! I love You so very much!</description>

		<description>&lt;b&gt; PRAYER WARRIORS . . . CRY OUT!!!! &lt;/B&gt;

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!

&lt;i&gt;Abba Father, You formed Carson within Nicole&#039;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!&lt;/i&gt;</description>

		<description>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!

		<description>Abba Father,

 Let my sisters &amp; 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 &amp; Amen</description>

		<description>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 &quot;one nation under God&quot;!

		<description>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&#039; name.</description>

		<description>PRAYER POINTS

1. Pray that they may be saved if they are not.
  &quot;Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth&quot;  
(I Timothy 2:4).
 
2. Pray that the leaders come to a knowledge of the Truth.
  &quot;Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth&quot;  
(I Timothy 2:4).
 
3. Pray that they acknowledge, honor, and praise God who is the sovereign ruler of heaven and earth.
   &quot;And at the end of the days I Nebuchadnezzar lifted up mine eyes unto heaven, and mine understanding returned unto me, and I blessed the most High, and I praised and honoured him that liveth for ever, whose dominion is an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom is from generation to generation&quot; (Daniel 4:34).
 
4. Pray that they, themselves, rule by example.
  &quot;Neither as being lords over God&#039;s heritage, but being ensamples to the flock&quot; (I Peter 5:3).
 
5. Pray that they have and demonstrate the wisdom of God
  &quot;If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him&quot; (James 1:5).
 
6. Pray that they grow in grace and  knowledge of Jesus Christ.
  &quot;But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen&quot;  (II Peter 3:18).
 
7. Pray that they be filled with and and walk in the Spirit of God.
  &quot;If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit&quot;  (Galatians 5:25).
 
8. Pray that they have the freedom to boldly share the Word.
  &quot;And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel&quot; (Ephesians 6:19).
 
9. Pray that they minister by the grace of God given to them.
  &quot;Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith&quot;  (Romans 12:6).
 
10. Pray that they shepherd the flock willingly and with a ready mind.
  &quot;Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind&quot;  (I Peter 5:2).
 
11. Pray they are diligent in the Word and properly interpret and apply it.
  &quot;Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth&quot;  (II Timothy 2:15).
 
12. Pray that they rule well their own house.
  &quot;One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity;   (For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?)  (I Timothy 3:4-5).
 
13. Pray that they speak the Word with power.
  &quot;And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man&#039;s wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power&quot; (I Corinthians 2:4).
 
14. Pray that they will do the work of evangelists (heralding the truth).
   &quot;But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry&quot;  (II Timothy 4:5).
 
15. Pray that they will labor with other laborers in the Lord.
  &quot;For we are labourers together with God: ye are God&#039;s husbandry, ye are God&#039;s building.   According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon&quot;  (I Corinthians 3:9-10).
 
16. Pray that God will richly prosper their work.
