Needing an Army of Prayer!

When I speak Your Name
Mountains move
Chains are loosed
Darkness fades
It has no hold on me

We received some disturbing news about our children on Friday and need an army of saints skilled at wielding the Sword of the Spirit to lift up our children and pray for God to move powerfully and quickly on their behalf.  We are so very confident that He is faithful and will work everything out according to His purposes!

I can't post any details of their situation, but they are in an abusive, horrible situation and need to be released from satan's grip.  

Please pray for them

Psalm 68:18---When you ascended on high, you led captives in your train; you received gifts from men, even from the rebellious--that you O Lord God, might dwell there.

and Psalm 10:16-18--The Lord is King for ever and ever; the nations will perish from His land.  You hear, O Lord, the desire of the afflicted; you encourage them, and you listen to their cry, defending the fatherless and the oppressed, in order that man who is of the earth, may terrify no more. 

and Isaiah 49:25-- But this is what the Lord says:  Yes, captives will be taken from warriors and plunder retrieved from the fierce; I will contend with those who contend with you, and your children I will save.

and John 14:18-- I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you.---------thank you Jesus!

We want to overcome evil with good---please pray for their oppressor-
Isaiah 1:17-18 ---learn to do what is right!, Seek justice, encourage the oppressed, defend the cause of the fatherless, plead the case of the widow.  Come now, let us reason together, says the Lord.  Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool.


satan does not want even one orphan to have a family---and especially not 4 at once---thank you for petitioning the Throne of God for our children!

Hello! I just found your blog-I am knew to blogging. I started one because our family is also adopting--a little boy from Uganda. Please know that I am lifting up your four little ones--
This is what the Lord says to you: "Do not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast army. For the battle is not yours, but God's." 2Chronicles 2:15

Blessings, Lindsey

I am new to your blog and it nice to "meet" your family! We have adopted 7 times and so understand how satan wants to destroy these precious lives...how wonderful that we belong to HIM...
I will pray!

We will lift up your cause to the Lord also. We also want you to know what a blessing and encouragement you youtube video and blogsite has been to us. We have just returned from Ethiopia to adopt our son Jericho. God bless and defend his children.

Praying and trusting in the Father who is ABLE...MORE THAN able to deliver these children from the grasp of the enemy. While the enemy comes to steal, kill and destroy, JESUS came to give us abundant life and the plans the Father has for those precious children are to prosper them and not to harm them, plans to give them HOPE and a future...with you!
May all involved see the mighty power of the hand of the Father on behalf of His children!
