Here are some good resources for your FYI that I shared with my prayer group. May it bless, encourage and strengthen you too.
Collegiate Day of Prayer is on Thursday, February 29th. Please sign up to pray for one or few colleges. They will provide you with prayer agenda.
A united, multi-generational day of prayer for revival and awakening on college campuses in America.
I highly encourage everyone to read or watch CBN news. CBN is a Christian broadcast station and they cover news such as this that is not covered in secular stations. Here is a link to a report on a revival that is currently happening in Florida State University. I have experienced supernatural encounters with the presence of God a few times in my life. It is very impactful and life changing. I’m so encouraged by this news and it gives me hope for the colleges that I’m signed up to pray for on Thursday.
‘Revival Is Here’: Hundreds Turn to Jesus at #2 US Party School, Get Baptized in Fountain
Here is an excellent article about the importance of having a good, healthy fear of the Lord. I had to learn about the biblical “fear of God” when I re-embarked on my faith journey 13 years ago. Christian journey is not easy because “self” needs to be crucified daily. However, I truly believe after much study that the “fear of God” is the only way to finish our faith journey safely and successfully. By safely and successfully, I mean arrive to heaven without any regrets and when I meet Jesus face-to-face, I will be very happy and without shame about my time on earth.
Why is it Good to Fear God? – ONE FOR ISRAEL Ministry
A friend shared this video from “The Chosen” series with me. It’s about the woman in the Bible who had a medical condition that made her bleed continually. In the comments section under the video, there is a woman who had the same problem and wrote her story. She said that through prayer and fasting, she was healed completely. For me, it touched me greatly to see the kind eyes of Jesus Christ in this video. I know that it’s an actor but I thought the actor did a really remarkable job.
A FULL STORY OF THE BLEEDING WOMAN, THANKS TO #thechosen
Here are the Bible passages of this woman that this episode is based upon. Her story is recorded in the three gospel books:
Bible Gateway passage: Matthew 9:20-22, Mark 5:25-34, Luke 8:43-48 – New International Version
I don’t have experience with healing miracles but being in prayer ministry since 2016, I have researched and observed enough that I have better understanding on how one can attain a healing miracle. If you have a need for a healing miracle then you need to go to the right people for prayer. You cannot just go to any church or minister. It’s like if you have stage 4 cancer that spreads throughout your body, would you only go to a local urgent care by your nearest shopping center? Of course not! If you truly want to fight for your life, then you go to the renowned Mount Sinai hospital in NYC to see their cancer specialists and do surgery there. It would also be wrong for me to tell you that I can help you if I don’t have success in praying for healing miracles. I hope that one day this will change but for now, I will send you to ministries who have a healing anointing and demonstrated success in this area. Sid Roth’s show often interviews pastors and evangelists who have the healing anointing and successes. Please go to his website and watch their interviews and pray about visiting their churches. https://sidroth.org/television/tv-archives/
I listen to all the Times Square Church messages. I know that they also have demonstrated healing successes. They are in NYC and so it’s more local for us if you want to visit there and get prayed upon by their leadership: https://tsc.nyc/
One more thing – just like a stage 4 cancer treatment, after surgery most likely it will require follow-up chemo treatments. That means you stay in a church body who can pray for you regularly until you are fully healed. Just like chemo treatments are done more locally by your home, most likely it’ll be a local church body of pastors and friends who will keep on praying for you until you receive your complete healing. (Or God can heal you completely in one moment too. This is a mystery to me and I haven’t figured this out yet. My only thought is that God wants all of us to be rooted in a local church and perhaps this is the only way He can get someone rooted in.)
Before I end my message, with supernatural youth revivals there will be danger of Christian cults forming around the movement. This happened in the West Coast during the Jesus Movement of 1970s. We must be prepared for this by having knowledge of how Christian cults are formed. Pastor Jack Hibbs’ podcast message is not about this topic, but he gave a great short conclusion on how cults are made. I don’t think he meant to share this here but what he said was so true. Please listen to his short podcast and be forewarned for yourself, your family and friends.

Here is a good cheat-sheet that I saved while ago about recognizing Christian Cults. Please save this important reference.
It’s been two years since the war started in Ukraine 🇺🇦. Let’s remember those who are still struggling and pray this week for Ukraine. This orphanage director wrote a good perspective about the war with prayer requests for the children and their country. Please read her short blog and pray. 🙏
“This Is Not Our Home; Heaven Is” | Remembering Two Years of War in Ukraine
Many of you are from South Korea like me. Things there are becoming very dangerous with North Korea preparing for war. As I was seeking the Holy Spirit on how I can be praying for my birth country, I was instructed to pray for the believers in South Korea to wake up and to be praying fervently for their country. I was surprised to hear this prayer guidance. Please join me in praying this way for the churches in South Korea. Here’s a short article from Times magazine. I thought they did a good short recap about the situation there. https://time.com/6721376/north-korea-threats-ian-bremmer/
A good classic message by Billy Graham about the end times that we are living in. I’m reminded that weather crisis will continue and increase as predicted in the Bible. By the way, did you know that about 25% of the Bible is on prophecies? Many of them have already been fulfilled. If your church is not teaching about the prophecies yet to be fulfilled, then please do your own Bible study. Please reach out to me for Bible study guidance and resources.
Billy Graham: Turn to God Before It’s Too Late
One last thing before I end my weekly email, they know where the Ark of the Covenant is!! It’s not destroyed or stolen by the Babylonians. Wow o wow. Hear this message to learn more. I also appreciated her guidance on how to pray for Israel and the Middle East. I have prayed this way before and will continue to do so.
That’s about it for this week. Everyone, please stay close to the church body and the word of God, the Bible! We are stronger and safer together!
One last thing – I also manage a parent prayer group for my daughter’s college. I just started to write a short recap for the prayers that the Holy Spirit inspires us to pray for each week. Please read this Friday’s prayer points if you want to also use this for your child’s college too.
Besides praying for our children, here are prayers that the Holy Spirit had us focus on in our prayers on Friday, 2/23. Please add your prayers for these on your own prayer times this week. Thank you!
-Revival at IU! Please sign up for Collegiate Day of Prayer on Thursday, 2/29 if you haven’t yet. Link is on the Featured Pin.
-Campus ministries and area churches to get ready for a great influx of students getting saved once revival comes to IU. They need discipleship.
-Sexually transmitted diseases are all up again nationwide. Pray for our children’s safety and self-restraint. If anyone gets it, to receive treatment right away. If anyone gets a lifelong one like HIV or herpes, to not despair but repent and pray for healing.
-Students/staff with mental health issues will seek and find good help and resources.
-Campus safety and security.
-God’s angels to guard, minister and serve.
-Expose the evildoers and stop/arrest them.
