Heavenly Father,
We lift up all the concerns and safety for the people involved in this:
"Massive Wildfire Forces Evacuation Orders for More Than 20,000 in San Diego Homes"
WE ask for protection for the fire fighters and First Responders as well as the people who live in this area to find safety and escape any danger. We place Your hedge of protection and authority around them and their property. We ask that You keep everyone out of danger and the fire away from populated areas. Calm the winds and the heat and help quench this dangerous massive fire. Send an abundance of rain. Take complete control Lord over the winds and the fire. You alone are Most Powerful and able to stop the wind and the fire. We ask this in Jesus' name ... have mercy on us and the people that live, work and commute through this area. May everyone heed the warning of evacuation and may all go smoothly and orderly as the fire is brought under control. Thank You that You hear our prayers for Your Almighty help. Thank You for saving and keeping lives protected. Thank You for sending whatever is needed for assistance and protection of the workers and the people.
PRAYER ALERT from PPT

For the immediate needs of fire fighters and other first responders.
For families who have evacuated homes and schools.
That God might turn the winds away from inhabited areas.
Abba Father,
I also come here and lift up our dear sister Denise.
You know how she is suffering. We place her in Your Healing hands. We ask that You take away those headaches and the pain, all the way to salve that heals her sweet eyes. What every is the cause, we ask that You quickly find and give Denise sufficient strength and wisdom since her appointment has been postponed until too far into June for her to just wait. We even place this in Your control and ask favor from the medical people that care for her to prioritize her health needs and help her sooner.
Father, You know the situation in her legs and feet as well and we ask for feeling to return and numbness to leave, all stinging, burning and pain to be gone in Jesus' powerful name,
We thank You for all You have done yet we wait for a complete healing miracle for Denise.
Lord, You also are fully aware of the home situation. We place this loved one in Your hands, and ask that once again You direct his steps that he return to You and to his beloved with the promises and care he just had declared. We bind the enemy in Jesus' name and ask that You place a shield around Denise from the hurtful words and behavior of the darts being thrown at her. We command that devil to leave and take his darts, foul language and abusive treatment back to the pit where they all belong and ask that You send in angels to watch over Denise and Coco during the day and at times when the battle is on. We ask that You fight this fight against the principalities that are dividing this house and causing this strife and disharmony.
We command all evil to leave in Jesus'name and by His precious blood Denise is covered with the victory and the curses are broken over her and her household now by the power of Your Holy Spirit. Cause that change to return and stay, not rear its ugly head once again when people are weak. Yeah, we believe that although Denise may be sick and weak, You are her strength, and You are strong in her.
You love Denise and desire the best for her and her household.
We claim Your Promises for Denise and we stand together with her in this battle. Protect her and keep her safe in Your loving arms. Wrap her in the healing balm of Gilead. Touch Denise and flow through her from the top of her head to her toes with Your warm healing touch of strength, wellness, comfort, and Your Word to guard her.
Denise is not alone. You are with her. You love Denise! Thank You for caring for her! Thank You for being the wind beneath her feet and the soothing breeze that calms all fears. Bring all her levels and her body under Your control as You created Denise in Your image. She is Yours, and You are hers. She will not be defeated for if You are for Denise who can be against her. Thank You for everyone who prays for Denise, visits her (a few more in person would be nice) and sends her their warm thoughts, gifts, or whatever encouragement they can to keep her pressing on.
Thank You for Denise, O Lord! Thank You for all the prayers she shares for others. Bless each one and her as we lift our hearts and health to You for a miracle, We give You all the glory, honor and praise. We thank You for winning the victory in Christ Jesus. We thank You and love You so much!

We ask that You guard these "girls" every one from any more harm and protect them with a shield that will keep them safe until their rescue or release without any more loss. Give them courage to stay strong and wisdom to remain safe. Pull together all countries and governments to safely work to a peaceful end to such a tragic act of terrorism.

We pray for displaced communities within Borno state, Maiduguri and surrounding towns. We pray for comfort to all family members in anguish, shock and distress over the fate of their girls.

Be with each one involved in this and continue to stir people to pray and seek You and Your will and wisdom! Thank You for Your Mighty Arms of Love for each of person!

Bring her immediate release tonight, and calm her so she can rest in You.

PRAYER FOR THE WEARY INTERCESSORS
And he [Gabriel] said to me, “Do not be afraid, Daniel, for from the first day that you set your heart on understanding this and humbling yourself before God, your words were heard, and I have come in response to your words. But the prince of the kingdom of Persia [demonic being assigned to rule Persia] has been withstanding me for twenty-one days; then behold, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me. Daniel 10:12-13
Heard ~ to listen, give heed. To consent, agree. To grant a request.
*************
Lord, I am getting weary in prayer. My heart has been pouring out its distress for so long that it appears You aren’t listening. But You sent Gabriel to speak to Daniel, to let him know that You heard His prayers and were answering them. You are a God who listens well. I am not a voice You hear in the distance, one who is just making noise. Your ear is bent to hear the faintest whisper. Everything that weighs on my heart is important to You. Rebuke my enemy when He accuses You of being passive. I am sorry for every time I believe his lie.
Father, give me endurance! There are battles in the spirit world being fought over my prayers. The kingdom of darkness is threatened by Your miraculous answers. Help me remember that when You appear to be silent, things are never quiet. Speak truth to my heart so that my trust is not shaken.
Their fight is in vain when I am on Your side. I stand in the truth that You are a pro-active God. You bring about deliverance for Your glory at the right time. I can trust it. Your purposes cannot be hindered. Your Word says, “When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him.” Isaiah 59:19
I humble myself under Your mighty hand, waiting to be exalted in due time: casting all my cares upon You; for oh, how You care for me! Today, I will be sober, vigilant; because my adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walks about, seeking to devour me. I Peter 5:6-8 The mouth of the lion will not prevail because I trust Your love, trust Your timing, and trust Your power to deliver. Amen

10 Days of Day and Night Prayer (Global Day of Prayer)
29 May - 7 June 2014
DAY 1
THE INVISIBLE GOD
Our Father in heaven, You are our Creator.
You have chosen to reveal yourself to us as humans, through your Son Jesus Christ.
It is still hard for us to imagine what You look like, although Jesus said that if we had seen Him, we had also seen You.
He came to show us what You are like.
Through His work we know that You are compassionate, merciful, forgiving, slow to anger and rich in love.
Jesus demonstrated to us that You like people, You love us and You want to be in a relationship with us.
Thank you for making it possible, through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, that we can know You.
Will You reveal yourself again to us in this special time of celebrating the ascension of Jesus to sit at Your right hand?
Jesus asked You to reveal to us the glory You gave Him.
We need that revelation, and to be transformed while beholding Him and You, into His image.
Our world needs a revelation of the True God.
As the Church, we long for You to manifest yourself in our midst and through our actions.
Love through us, show compassion through us and demonstrate your righteousness and justice through our thoughts, word and deeds.
Amen.
Dear heavenly Father, My friend Shelby is having major eye problems,. She cannot drive any more, and could eventually go blind. Please give the doctors wisdom to help her. Thank You. Amen
Dear heavenly Father, My friend Shelly will be going to her doctor in the morning. They may have to go back into her brain to replace her shunt. This will be the third time. She is very scared. Please be close by her side, love on her. Thank You. Amen
Heavenly Father, I come to You on behalf of my youngest daughter and her family. You know their need for my son-in-law to find a good paying job. He has always been faithful to You and I know You care about them. Together we are asking for them to be able to take back what the Devil has taken from them, in the name of Jesus. Bless them and show them exactly what they need to do. I ask Father that You would open doors for Ronnie that no one else can. You know his life and how much he has depended upon You. You have always provided for them and I believe You will show Ronnie exactly what he needs to do to bring money in to pay their bills, in the name of Jesus. Let them feel Your presence Father and know that You will never leave them nor forsake them. Thank You for what You are going to do. Amen.
