Billy Graham's Last Message to America & the
World...listen carefully...
“Be patient, therefore, brethren, until the coming of the
Lord. Behold, the farmer waits for the
precious produce of the soil, being patient about it, until it gets the early
and the late rains.
“You too be patient; strengthen your hearts, for the
coming of the Lord is at hand. Do not
complain, brethren, against one another, that you yourselves may not be judged;
behold, the Judge is standing right at the door.
“As an example, brethren, of suffering and patience, take
the prophets who spoke the name of the Lord.
Behold we count those blessed who endured. You have heard of the endurance of Job, and
have seen the outcome of the Lord’s dealings, that the Lord is full of
compassion and is merciful.” James 5:7-11
No matter how many times you read Job and you always feel a
sense that what he went through was hugely UNFAIR! Before all this tragedy, he was seen by all
as the best of the best. admired. Even God called Job ‘blameless and upright, a
man who fears God and shuns evil’?
And yet, every part of his life was crushed – only his life
was spared. So why even try if something
like this can happen? Yet, it was never
about punishment for evil. He was
selected as the principal player in a great contest of the heavens.
God is mysterious and His ways are not able to be known to
us. Yet, His will, WILL prevail against
all that is evil, even when all seems hopeless.
It is time to reorient our hearts!
Take care, your servant and friend in Christ, Darlene (who
prays for you each morning.)

NEW PRAYER REQUESTS
·
USA – Pray the Lord will demonstrate His power in
unexpected and uniting ways during these times of unrest and confusion. Help hearts settle and rest in Him
alone. Let the truth of God’s Word and
ways, overcome the drive to destroy our founding, Bible-based values. And pray for Christ-centre, Bible-based
revival in the USA and religious freedom for Christians wherever they may be.

USA President
Donald Trump – As Christians, we
know God has a plan for the USA through this man. If you doubt the importance of his
appointment, just look at the baseless antagonism against him. Surely Satan is
NOT happy and means to thwart God’s plan.
Pray someone helps President Trump and Melania
understand and strengthen their personal relationship with Jesus
Christ. Pray they both have an
insatiable hunger to read God’s Word for themselves. Pray God sends a Bible-Believing Christian to
regularly disciple them in the Truth.
Pray God shuts the mouths of the false prophets who regularly circle
around them.

Pray for Paul – he
continues to search for a job. God has a
plan for him to capture his heart someway.

patience and God’s mercy. Continue to
pray for his healthcare providers and that he is surrounded by faithful and

Isaias and Judith
(Ambassadors for Christ the Philippines) – the Philippines has been
devastated by constant batterings from typhoons and floods. Take a moment to visit their new website: https://afcph.org/
to learn more. Many believers have lost
everything, including worship centres, computer equipment, musical instruments
and sound systems. China’s threat grows. Pray for the leaders, administrators, workers
and teachers. Pray our Father keep these
servants strong, in good health, safe and supported and that they keep a
balance in their lives. They need funds badly now. Please take a moment to send encouragement
to Isaias Catorce, who teaches and leads the groups at icatorce@gmail.com

J&R – recently
had the privilege of sharing the Gospel with them and would appreciate prayers
that God uses His words in their hearts to draw them to Him for Eternity!
Pray for those in full-time service
Pray to uphold our Christian leaders – that they never compromise God’s Word, are bold and courageous in the face of evil. Pray for their wisdom, safety, ingenuity, strength and for their families.
Pray for those with ongoing health concerns
Many of us have family, friends and loved ones with fragile health. Pray God takes special care with them and protects them in practical ways and that the Lord will have mercy on them during this challenging time.
