Crimes & Back Pain...

I was reading the newspaper today. Every page that I read, I kept seeing the words, "Death", "Murder", "Crime"... What is the world becoming? My heart dropped when I read all the articles. The acts committed by these individuals are appalling and really saddens my heart. I grieve over these henious crimes and the tragedy that has struck our nation. Lord, we come before you, as Malaysians, to confess our sins before You and seek forgiveness for innocent blood that have been shed in our land. God, we ask that you cleanse us by the blood of Jesus, and we seek Your divine hand to help rid us from all manner of evel that is plaguing our nation! God, we seek breathrough in this, as we pray for peace in this land and claim that John 10:10 - that the reason the Son of Man came was to give us life - and life to the full. And we claim this for Malaysia! For every person, creed or tongue! Lord, we pray for the victims who survived the ordeal and the loved ones of the victims. Let them turn to the God of all comfort - in their trauma, receive Your healing of their wounds; in their pain; Your comfort and strength, and in their hopelessness, new hope and life in Christ. In the Mighty Name of Jesus, we come against every demonic spirit behind every form of violence and oppression, and command them to flee from our nation. We declare peace and fear of God to every people in our land. In Jesus Name I pray... AMEN! .................................. Went to see an orthopedic specialist today. Found out that my left foot's reflexes are not that good. Could be due to the case of slip disc that I had when I was 15. Been having this back ache for over 10 days now and it's still not completely healed yet. The doctor feared that it might be an occurence of my previous case. But he gave me some medicine for another 10 days because it's still too early to do an MRI scan. According to him, if I do have another slip disc, I might not be able to go through another operation again as the risk is very high for someone who has underwent surgery for this spine once before. I'm believing God amidst all these and I'm believing in a breakthrough this year. It's been a year of sickness for me (Flu, Bronchitis, Back Pain, etc) and I'm praying for a year of breakthrough. My friend Paulos prayed for me over MSN today! I thank God for such a wonderful friend and brother-in-Christ! He's an awesome dude and plays P. Ramlee very well! This is his prayer, thought I'd pen it down :- Paulus says: SHUKAIARIRAIAIIRIAIRAIRA. Father, I pray for my dear brother Ian right now O Lord. That the blood of Your Precious Son Jesus will be poured out unto him O Lord. That healing would come right this instant to relieve the pain Ian is experiencing right now. Because God my brother Ian lives according to your statutes.. and he has hidden Your word in his heart.. that he might not sin.. and Father we want to cast out any spirit of infirmity that is afflicting my brother right now. In the name of Jesus.. I take authrotity to cast out the discouragement and depression he is feeling O Lord.. because we know that the pain we feel now is temporary O Lord.. and it will go away because You, O Lord in Your great and divine purpose will HEAL my brother... so that He can once again.. walk and move around to carry the gospel You have commissioned to. That indeed Lord the healing he recieves is no less or more than the miracle of the healings and miracles you have executed as said in Your WORD O Lord. We lay claim to the truth that You have written in Your word that Lord you have come to heal the sick and downcast... Holy Spirit come and fill Ian and give Him the peace that only you can bring. You are the keeper of His heart O Holy Spirit.. Fill Him now till over flowing.. . Lord Your promises I seal in JESUS most precious and Holy Name. AMEN!! Flying to Singapore this morning... YAWN!! Gotta wake up at 5.30am. Will be back this Friday. Cheers for now! God bless!
