Urgent Prayer Request from CMM Missionary in Uganda-Alissa Cooper

By -
 Dear Friends and Prayer Partners,

I am asking for your prayers at this time.  I really need them.  My physical body has been undergoing many physical attacks.  I have been battling illness since I came to Uganda this time-but especially in the last week.  I have been quite weak and ill these last two days.  I did go to the doctor yesterday, and they did some tests, including a Malaria test, but they all came back fine.  I really believe that much of my illness is a spiritual attack. 

Today I was getting very discouraged about how weak and sick my body was, and then my eyes were opened to see that this is exactly what the enemy wants to happen.  He is quite aware that I have much work to accomplish in a short period of time.  He sees things are happening , and he wants to prevent it.  He knows that if he can get control of my health, my mind, and my emotions, he can slow things down.

These attacks have not been directed to me alone.  The other people from the church and God's Care Ministries have also been facing physical illness.  Please cover all of us in your prayers.  We all have much work to do in the Lord's Kingdom and for the mission in Uganda.

Sometimes I think we forget that we are in a battle every day.  We cannot shrink back or lose our defensive stand.  It says in I Peter 5:8 and 9 "Stay Alert!  Watch out for your great enemy, the devil.  He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour.  Stand firm against him, and be strong in your faith.  (I also like how verse 9 is worded in the KJV "Resist the devil, and he will flee from you." 

I am determined to resist the devil and keep fighting the battle.  I am determined to win over the enemy and gain the victory because actually Jesus already won the battle on the cross.  I know I have someone more powerful on my side and that I am more than a conqueror!  I thank God for helping me to become more alert, and I pray that I will continue to be alert so that I am not blindsided by an enemy attack.

Please pray with me for physical, emotional, and spiritual protection.  Please stand with me for complete and total healing and restoration of my body.  Please pray that God will make me an even stronger warrior in his Kingdom.  I know with God all things are possible!  He is not finished with me and the work he wants to accomplish in and through me-He is just beginning!  Thanks for your prayers and support.  God bless.

Faithfully Surrendered to Christ,

Alissa

Chuck Pierce Shares A Powerful Word from Penny Jackson

  Before the service on Sunday, the Spirit of God met with Penny Jackson. As He began to visit with her, she began to write what the Lord was saying. Reading through this incredible word, I saw it like an encounter experienced by the prophet Daniel. I divided the word into the way Daniel prayed: morning, noon, and night. I want to encourage you to read this word in three sections: Part 1 (morning), Part 2 (noon), and Part 3 (evening/night). Part 1: Morning “A timing is coming. A timing is approaching. It’s not long now. You feel it hovering. Be on alert. This will take your complete focus. I will speak in many ways. I will reveal in many ways. Before you do a thing, ask if I want you to be there…emotionally, spiritually, literally. I told you a long time ago that there would be a time when it would be dangerous to be where you were not to be. This is it. I told you that you would be able to hear My voice clearly for instructions. This is it. Don’t dare to do a thing unless I ...

Focused On The Master Weaving This Beautiful Tapestry  ‘Take heart, fear not, even rejoice!’ Happy New Year!  “For thus says the Lord of hosts: “Once more (it is a little while) I will shake heaven and earth, the sea and dry land; and I will shake all nations, and they shall come to the Desire of All Nations, and I will fill this temple with glory, says the Lord of hosts. The silver is Mine, and the gold is mine,’ says the Lord of Hosts.” Hag. 2:6-8   We have not come this way before.Joshua 3:4 ‘ Since you have never traveled this way before…’ We are clearly in a new place and new season.As we surrender and yield to the seven spirits of God and stay in His presence there is safety in the strong tower (Psalm 91.)   As we behold His presence in awe and wonder, his peace carries and leads us into this new exciting time in uncharted territory.Why? For we are covenant children of the most high. As God’s people walk in faith, courage, and authentic relationships in the ne...

Have I Really Forgiven?

By -

Forgiveness is a widely discussed topic, yet after years of studying the Word, searching scripture on forgiveness, meditating on examples in the Bible, reading countless books, and listening to numerous sermons, I realized that I hadn’t truly forgiven or released many people from my heart. That’s why I felt compelled to write this article—to share my journey and insights on what genuine forgiveness looks like. In my mind, I thought I had, but the Holy Spirit showed me there was so much more. As I yielded to the Holy Spirit and asked Him to reveal those I still needed to forgive, He showed me specific events where I had held onto unforgiveness, hurt, pain, offense, or fear. Often, I needed to forgive myself. When we ask God for forgiveness, He does it without hesitation, yet we frequently struggle to release ourselves from guilt, shame, and other negative emotions. It’s almost like we tell ourselves we need to suffer for what we did, but Jesus took all condemnation on the cross, so we d...
