"The
Lord said to my Lord: 'Sit at My right
hand, until I make Thine enemies a footstool for Thy feet.' The Lord will stretch forth Thy strong sceptre
from Zion saying, 'Rule in the midst of Thine enemies.' Thy people will volunteer freely in the day of
Thy power; in holy array, from the womb of the dawn, Thy youth are to Thee as
the dew." Psalm 110:1-3
"And
the seventy returned with joy, saying, 'Lord, even the demons are subject to us
in Your name.' And He said to them, 'I
was watching Satan fall from heaven like lightning.
“Behold,
I have given you authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and over all
the power of the enemy, and nothing shall injure you. Nevertheless, do not rejoice in this, that the
spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are recorded in
heaven.'" Luke 10:17-20
"For
though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh, for the
weapons of warfare are not of the flesh, but divinely powerful for the destruction
of fortresses.
“We
are destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the
knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of
Christ, and we are ready to punish all disobedience, whenever your obedience is
complete." II Corinthians 10:3-5
"And
we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love
God, to those who are called according to His purpose." Romans 8:28
Evil
lurks in our world, preys on our minds and burdens our hearts, as well as
damaging our physical world. The daily
news broadcasts many sad, frightening and despicable events, but there is hope.
Hope
in the reality of an almighty and powerful Father working His perfect way
through the worst humanity can imagine.
Hope that brings us to our knees to seek His will for ourselves and for
those who have yet to meet Him.
Take
care, your servant and friend in Christ, Darlene (who still prays for you each
morning).
PS: For those of you who are observing the
"Prayer and Fasting" time today is day 18 of the 40 days. We've prayed for revival of the church and
this week for the spiritual awakening of the lost. There is much yet to pray about. Enjoy His extra closeness!

reported deaths
- Scott – getting married March 26th, they will be a
blended and Blessed couple. Thank
you for praying all these years for him and his children.
- Baby Jolie– a
year old, struggling to recover from meningitis and kidney failure. Still in hospital. Her leg may still require
amputation. She is responding VERY
SLOWLY. Many hurdles must be crossed. Pray for her, her parents and her health
care providers. Once home,
hopefully soon, she will need full-time nursing care. Praise the Lord. Family so grateful for all your prayers.
- Savannah – has a very long road to travel. The 15-year-old granddaughter of Cliff
and Beth, diagnosed with a difficult-to-treat, psychological disorder with
potential serious consequences. New
meds seem to be helping. She is
showing progress with this brain injury.
Pray for her attitude, wisdom for her health carers, patience for
her parents and complete healing.
- USA President Donald Trump – It is our responsibility as Christians to
remember God has a plan through this man. If you doubt the importance of his
appointment, just look at how much antagonism there is against him. Surely Satan is NOT happy and means to
thwart God’s plan. Pray someone
helps President Trump understand the true meaning of a personal
relationship with Jesus Christ, that he will have a driving hunger to read
God’s Word for himself and that God sends a Bible-believing Christian to
regularly disciple him in the Truth and that God shuts the mouths of the
false prophets who circle around him.
- Fred – is making plans to move from California to Tennessee in the first
quarter of 2020. Pray for his wise
attention to detail, stamina and roaring good health as he makes these
life changes.
- Tracey – Pray Tracey finds a new role to satisfy her and allow her to grow
and share her skills and wisdom.
- Me – New project going well. Thank
you for praying (ends 9 April). Laptop
due back this week, hopefully.
