We are continuing our prayer meetings this summer and I just shared what major themes have been in my personal petitions.
Hi ladies. If you are wondering what major themes occupy my prayers in our corporate meetings lately, for me it’s for church unity and purity. Also, ever since May, I’ve been burdened to pray for France 🇫🇷 – mainly their upcoming Olympics in July. Please join me in praying for their safety and security. Pray that the enemy’s evil plans fail and that evildoers will get caught by the police authorities. I don’t have any affiliation with France or care much about sports, and so I am certain this is a warning from the Holy Spirit to pray proactively for security in Paris and the Olympics. Thank you for sharing this prayer burden.
Whenever you join our corporate prayer meetings, you’ll see how each individual has different burdens from the Holy Spirit. We hit the ground running so please excuse our lack of fellowship in our prayer meetings.
Here are some resources that inspired and helped me this week if you want to go over these yourself:
This is one of best message I’ve heard on how to deal with ministers who we looked up to fall into sin. Since this happens too frequently, I recommend that you listen. If it hasn’t happened to you yet, it’ll happen soon enough. It’s good to know how to handle these big disappointments.
What to Do When a Minister You Looked up to Falls into Sin
Pastor Vlad Savchuk is very good. His church specializes in deliverance and healing ministry. You should also hear his testimony. It’s pretty amazing. I heard him often when Russia invaded Ukraine. He’s from Ukraine 🇺🇦 and his wife is from Russia 🇷🇺.
Gateway Church eldership responds to their ex-lead pastor Robert Morris’ sex scandal. Guest speaker was very good too. This is what I needed to hear when my college pastor was caught with my home group leader’s wife and had to step down from leadership. Back then in the 1990s, my church elders did their best. We didn’t talk about it and just moved on with a new pastor. (Looking back, the church leaders were young people only in their late 30s to early 40s. They did really well, considering their lack of experience.)

FYI – on why sexual sin is such a big deal:
What makes sexual sin such a big deal?
Here is a sermon by Billy Graham in 1967 on what the Bible teaches about sex:
Billy Graham – Sex & the Bible
Even if you don’t agree with what the Bible teaches about sex; please be aware that sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are very high right now, and many of the treatments are not working well since the bacteria and viruses have mutated. Please know that STDs can spread by oral sex too. I know it’s very uncomfortable to bring this up with your children but please do when you can. It can save them a lot of stress and regrets. If someone gets a lifelong STD like herpes or AIDS, please know that God can heal completely. I’ve heard many stories of people who were healed.
CBN is a Christian broadcast network. I especially love to watch stories like this precious pastor from Vietnam. She is 95 years old. Please watch this 3-minute video about her life. ❤️
This 95-Yr-Old Pastor Was Jailed 5 Times for Spreading Christianity in Communist Vietnam
You probably need Facebook to watch this short video clip. It’s about an 88-year-old Christian lady with late-stage dementia. ❤️
THIS IS EVERYTHING.. JAY ALLEN · Original audio
In today’s streaming world, there are many famous people’s documentaries. Pick some famous people that you look up to. See how their lives ended. If you don’t like their ending, then don’t follow their footsteps.
(P.S. Thank you for your prayers for my ears. They are completely fine, verified by my ENT doctor too. As soon as I shared the last email about angels and demons, my ears were restored. Enemy works like that. Demons are bullies. You just have to push through. If you back down then like a typical bully, they won’t stop harassing you.)
Charles Spurgeon is a famous preacher from England. I watched his documentary while back. He is a good pastor to learn from.
