BELIEVERS MINISTRY PRAYER LINE
I want to take the time to thank everyone who is a part of this prayer line who have offered prayers over these requests and I asked God to bless and touch every life he sends to this ministry asking for intercessory prayer. The bible tells us that if we are sick or we have stumbled to go to the elders of the body of Christ and asked them to pray for us, and the word commands us to restore them and to make them right again. We are to help take the yolks and burdens off of our brothers and sisters by uplifting them, giving a word and agape love, and when it calls for it to act in their behalf to meet a physical need. This is what Believers Ministry Prayer Line is all about.
Prayer intercessory became important to me a year or so ago when an elder of the church came to me with an impartation to intercede for a person that was a matter of life and death. I was part of the phone prayer line for a small church at that time. I wrote a story about that experience which I will release in the near future in an article. During that time, I put a cross up on an empty hall entry wall in my house with a kneeling bench and I began sticking prayer requests on it. Before I went to bed each night I prayed for these people. One year later as I took them all down and sat and read them all again I realized God had answered eight out of ten.
As I continued working in this prayer line I began to see how the Holy Spirit would speak to me concerning certain individuals that prayer was requested for. The more I became obedient to the voice of the Holy Spirit the more opportunities God placed in front of me. The most amazing part of being a prayer intercessor was that as I forgot all about whining and crying to the Lord about my own needs and focused my desire for others to be blessed or healed, my own needs and the health of my own family became healed as a result, and that is another story I will tell you later.
Sometimes we need prayer right away and can't wait till Sunday to be prayed for at church. Have you ever asked someone to pray for you and you just know in your spirit that it didn't get passed the clouds. Well, be careful who you ask to pray over you, because prayer intercessory is a serious matter with the Lord. So if you agree to be a prayer intercessor take it as serious a work as you would in your church work. A prayer service is quite different than a visible work where people can see what you are doing but it is a lowly servant's calling. You will not get recognition or praise from people, but you will get favor from the Lord which will reflect in your life and Christian walk because you spend many hours in His presence for others. In Revelation, John said that heaven stands still for thirty minutes while the incense of prayers from the saints go before the Lord.
Please email me if you have a special need for prayer or you have a personal request that you wish not to be made public, or you can call me on the ministry line at 252-292-9272. I still have my cross and kneeling bench but beginning Friday I will extend that praying for each request by taking them to a prayer intercessor group on Friday nights at 7:30 so pray with me at that time every week. Be sure to follow up with updates for continued prayer and when prayers are answered, we want to hear your story to share with others, for that witness to the world is more impacting than you could ever imagine. Thank you again for being a part of this ministry and its work for the Lord, D. J. Braman, minister of education.
REQUESTS:
Sarah Teidt: Sarah has Lukemia and has been having blood transfusions for a while. She was hospitalized this week and must begin a series of chemo. She is a security officer at Sandoz in Wilson. Sarah got my attention a couple of weeks ago when the red cross did their blood drive at Sandoz. She thanked my husband for donating blood that day and said, it was for people like me you know. That was when we discovered she had to have blood transfusions. It was just a fews days later that we learned that her situation had worsened and she had to go to the hospital. Pray for her healing of this blood disease because Jesus WILL make her blood new.
Pastor Jerry Nelson: Continue to pray for Pastor Nelson, he is having a catherization procedure done this morning.. Next month we pray he will be running 5 miles instead of 3, but then I have seen him run an extra mile up and down the altar when the spirit hits him.
Jemmy Solomon: This is a very special prayer request I received and it captured my heart. Jemmy is a missionary minister in India and this is the request sent today: "Greetings to you in the most precious name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Good morning and greetings to you from India. Grace and peace to you in His glorious name. I pray this message finds you doing well and the peace of God filling your hearts on this day and everyday thereafter. I am Pastor Jemmy Solmon from India; I read about your ministry and work in God. I am doing ministry in a small place, my church congregation is 150. They are very poor people. They are laborers and we have 30 little kids on our church premises that are orphans. We have 57 elderly women who live in our church house. We have 50 people who have leprosy in their family. Please pray for them. In our church we have Sunday services but on Fridays we have a fasting prayer service and on Wednesday we have an all night prayer service. We do distribution of the gospel in small villages with our church members on Saturdays and conduct street services. I am praying for you and ask you to pray for our ministry and the people here. We are God's servants and we are telling the people of Jesus and his crucifixion for them. We want a relationship with you there in the states in our Lord Jesus, Thank you, Jemmy, with love and prayers."
Jemmy, we want you to know we are praying for you here at Believers Ministry for your ministry and for the people who are afflicted and in need in your congregation. We pray for God to renew your strength daily as you work as his humble servant. We pray for the Lord to provide your needs as you work to bring the lost there into his light and in the blood of Jesus Christ to give them a new life and healing.
I pray after reading this request no Christian will ever again feel a need to whine or complain in the church again, but for our work here is such a light load compared to many of the works the Lord has called men to do across the world laden with heavy burdens and little money to meet the ministry's needs. Jemmy didn't even ask for money, only prayer, but wouldn't it be nice to send something to these children at Christmas.

Update on Keith Hobgood: Keith was hospitalized last Friday after having surgery a month ago to remove a portion of his lung for infection. His speech began to slur and he went to the hospital at Pitt and learned that the infection had spread to his brain. He was put on I.V antibiotics. There are three abscess spots of infection on his brain. The neurosurgeon said he is going to try to remove the infection with a 6 to 8 week treatment because the spots are so small. We pray today that when Keith is checked again there will be no more infection, in Jesus name it is done!
