Barry & Arlene

Father, Send my sister and brother peace that passes understanding right now. Many years ago as a little girl, Sister Rose said that satan would never bother someone who didn't frighten him. I know this attack is of that enemy afraid of those who battle in Your name. We have asked for Arlene's complete healing and continue to do so by the stripes of Your Son. Tonight though Lord, I ask for another kind of touch. I ask that you touch them in spiritual places. You see that they are weary and you are a God touched by our weakness. You are a God of compassion. It is not their faith in you that wavers for we know that You are the mighty God Jehovah. It is just the mortal flesh that grows tired in battle. Let your angels now be dispatched from the throne room to minister to them in places that we cannot reach in the flesh. Let the soothing balm of Gilead be applied to their souls tonight. God I ask that you would remove all obstacles in heavenly realms that would try to keep joy from their hearts and peace from their minds. I ask you to breathe a new life into them and a new Word into them. I ask you to give them vision as proof of life. I ask you to give them a fresh anointing. Let them fall asleep tonight held in blessed assurance. Let them have faith that the world calls crazy. Give them laughter. Inhabit the temple of their home and the praise they have established as their standard. You have always been with Barry and Arlene, tonight God I ask you to reveal yourself in all the ways that would heal their tiredness. Finally Lord, I ask you to touch Arlene's lower left side. I ask you to literally put your scarred hand against her abdomen and let the warmth of your touch spread through her body. Let her physical being respond to your authority as pain is forced to flee in your presence. You have overcome death and pain by your love for us and right now I accept that love and the relief that comes with it. Let my sister feel your touch God. Let her be so quieted by the weight of your presence that she is able only to be still in the magnificent love you have manifested in her. Let her lay in her home tonight and know that surely, the presence of the Lord is in this place. In the name of Jesus Christ, Messiah and Healer we claim all good and perfect gifts. We thank you and praise you. By Your Stripes...Amen
