One Prayer

lifechurch okc campus

i'd like to thank every one on this board for your prayers for my family. this weekend my wife came home for the weekend and attended church with me.when we left she told me that we were worth working on and will be coming back home soon. thanks you god and thank you all for keeping us in your thoughts and prayers.

god answers the impossible believe in him and he shall grant it to you.you only have to believe in him. aman.

Hi everyone. I went to church this morning (Lifechurch.tv - OKC campus) to hear Perry and I was blown away. I am not a crier, but the tears just wouldn't stop. You see, 2 months ago my husband left me and our two boys, 16 and 14, to go live a gay lifestyle. As you can imagine, our life has been turned upside down. We are now in a new home, new church, and a new faith. The miracle I am asking for is two-fold: one, that my husband will find Christ and turn his life around so that my boys can see how big God is, and two, that my boys will seek God in everything they do and find a way to trust and love in a way that seems impossible to them right now. Thanks to all of you who are believing and are willing to be dangerous!

All of us older believers who have been saved a long time should be absolutely excited about this website and this move of God we have been experiencing. I have been grieved for many years by the disunity and competition that was apparent in the body of Christ and the denominational schisms. This is a miracle and an answer to our prayers for unity. Pastor Perry you shared a word in due season because I am a woman in the funeral procession who's husband went to heaven and who's son needs a resurrection in areas of his life and who has been waiting for Jesus to come towards us and touch us and heal us and raise our lives and hopes into "the best is yet to come" level. I long for the power of God and the miracles I have seen in the past 31 years and the sweet that is to come...the blessings and things God has prepared because He always saves the best for last of the New Wine.

hey perry,

wow your message really spoke to me at church saturday night. walking with god isn't easy ,but one i am following . i do find myself letting doubt in from time to time though. i do believe walking with jesus is the way and know matter how bad my marriage is with my wife and her leaving me and our four girls.i know i have strength in god ,jesus,and the holy spirit and in that will guide me thought this hard time we are having.

thanks to all on this board that are keeping my family in there prays,for i am praying for them as well. god bless

I pray that my single friends, including me, would become completely satisfied with Jesus. I pray that we would nurture our relationship with Jesus, I pray that we take the time to get to know HIm, and whether we press forward as an amazing single woman, (Mother Theresa) or an amazing married woman, (Beth Moore), that our focus is not on ourselves, or our marital status, it is to fulfill God's purpose for our lives. I also pray that as I draw closer to Jesus, that my Youth kids would draw closer to Him as well.

Stay the course......

W.O.W, Perry awesome job on this weeks sermon on being a Dangerous Church. It was exactly what I believe I needed and our church. I saw people walk out with excitement and I believe when a fire is started and the winds of God are blowing it can't be put out.
Father God,
I pray for our church and all the churches in our area that this fire would spread and touch those around us. We have a city that needs revival. I ask that you Father lead us and direct us let us be people, your children that choose to live dangerously with great anticipation. Let us be like that growd that knew you and believed you, not frustrated. I ask that we would be light in a dark place. That we as the body would focuse upward and seek first your kingdom. Believing the impossible. That many would come to you and be set free. I ask Lord that you give our campus Pastor all that he needs to lead this campus, protect his family, strengthen him, bless him and his family for their committment to follow you. Our staff at our campus that you would bless them, lead them and direct them, that the body would get involved and plug in and every need would be met with great anticipation. Thank you Lord for an awesome body to be a part of and to worship with and do life together. May we walk with you, listen to you and step out in faith.
In Jesus name I pray, Amen!!!

I am GT from the Stillwater, Ok campus of LifeChurch.tv. Some would say my prayer is impossible but our campus is praying for and expecting a miracle for a 9 yr old boy named David with cancer. He will go into surgery this week for the 3rd or 4th time, and will likely lose a kidney. The extent of his cancer is still unknown. Please join us this week as we fast and pray for miracles and remember David as you pray. Thanks Perry, we can pray with confidence because no miracle impossible.

My husband is stationed on the USS Abraham Lincoln currently deployed in the Persian Gulf. 5000+ sailors and less than 100 sold out for Christ and another 100 on the fence. There are three denominations and worship style represented on the ship, none of them what we are used to or feel comfortable worshiping with. My husband has gotten permission to show sermon videos and worship on the ship that are more in line (& modern) with the way we worship.
This has to happen around a working aircraft carrier and AFTER his normal duties on the ship. An onfire Christian is an oddity in the Navy: no drinking? no cursing? no adultery ? You are weird dude!
His bosses don't want to hear about Bible study or worship service that this weird guy wants to do.
I pray God will soften and change their hearts and open doors for him to bring Glory and Honor to God while on the ship. That God will give him the time and energy (they work 15 hour days) to complete this task.
God is in charge of the NAVY and HE can do some what man says is impossible: a service that is Rockin and praising God full of men and women who are earnestly seeking the truth.
He gets discouraged some days and I pray that God gives him endurance for this task.

It's my prayer that the Lord Jesus Christ strengthens me in my daily walk with him.I love the Lord soo much,however I have nagging thoughts in my mind sometimes if God really does love me even when I sin against Him all the time-sometimes knowingly or unknowingly.
I'd kindly ask any of the Pastors to share their beliefs and thoughts on this.Thanks

satan is attacking me professionally. God specifically told me to advance my career and i did. i have been involved in lawsuits pretty much since i got started. one suit has just about ended and another one has begun.
i need deliverance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i need the impossible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree what an awesome priviledge it is to come here and read about the needs of others and begin to pray for people you don't even know. I am reminded of an old song I used to listen to that said "When every dream uhave crashes to the ground and the days become so lonely and hope cannot be found. When faith gives into fear, night begins to fall and you cannot find the courage to even pray at all. Miles away, somewhere within the night someone's praying for you, their holding up the light. From the jungle to the sea. From the desert to the sky. He is the God that sees our needs, He is the God that will supply. In the midst of every moment closer than a prayer, with a love that will not leave us He is there.

I'm asking God to heal my daughter's spine of scoliosis-miraculously and completely.

Jocelyn:

Pray. Pray. Pray.

and then listen to your heart. God will tell you what to do.

I want to be wholly and totally devoted to God. My whole life I've been searching for something,
and honestly nothing compares to what I've found in God. Jesus saved me from a life of sin and
darkness. But now I feel free, alive and loved. Thank you Jesus!

Father,

There are so many hurts and hopes represented in the prayers and the requests listed below. I pray that You will bring comfort to the hurting, peace to the troubled, and strength to the weary. Thank you so much for allowing us a place to share our troubles, and the honor of bringing each other before you in prayer. Thank You for all the wonderful things You are going to do-- whether they look like we expect or not. Thank You for being a God who's big enough to handle it all, and who loves us enough to hurt with us. Please continue to use oneprayer to bind us together...

Doubt is something that I struggle with. I know that God is there but sometimes I feel so disconnected when I pray and do not get an answer or I pray and don't feel anything in my spirit. When you pray and do not feel that God responds, doubt creeps in. But I know that God is good and to grow in my relationship with Him I have to be determined to keep the faith and believe God for the things I need. I need God to help me to raise my self esteem because right now it is honestly very low.

Matt you are in my prayers and I hope that God softens your wife's heart and brings her back to you.

Kandice, I want to let you know that I can so relate to you and what you are going through. I will be praying for you and your family.

This devotional is so good. Just this morining I realized how much doubt I have about God answering my prayers. I can pray and believe it for someone else. I ask all of you to be in prayer for our family and all the financial needs that we have. I hate that I doubt God's goodness and faithfulness. He has always been faithful to us, but this is an area of struggle for me. I truly believe in prayer and love to pray with others. As our church experiences this series on One prayer I pray that many lives would be touched by the Love of God and feel connected as a part of the body of Christ. Also for the needs that our church has so that minisrties that truly bless others can continue and grow. We have an awesome church.

I am praying that God would help my wife and I get a home closer to our church...Church of the Highlands....
And that God would open up doors for us to serve Him in fulltime ministry.

Lance - nothing is impossible for the Lord. Your post stuck out most to me for that reason alone so as well as praying for all the requests listed here, I will pray especially that God will work within your impossible situation. God is good!

My prayer is simple, but not....I pray that all of us, including me, stop the doubt and disbelief. We ARE the church and is it any wonder non-Christians think badly on Christianity when the Christians doubt the one thing they profess to believe in so much?

God bless you all and may we continue to be one Church even after this series is over.

My boy was verbally abusing me and i broke up with him, after breaking up with, he went find him a good church, got born again and want ot marry me, but I have doubt about marrying him, I'm not in love with him anymore but he doesn't understand it, he keep telling me that I don't have faith. It's been 3 years now, I really don't know what to do because he doen't want to live me alone and my mom and sister don't want me to marry him because I will be making a big mistake by marrying him. Help me what am i going to do

Matt,
I am praying for your wife that God would soften her heart and open her eyes and help her to come home where she belongs. I also pray for you and your girls that God would strengthen and comfort and encourage you during this time.

I pray for love, not love for myself or love for a friend, but love in the church. I pray that we love our brothers and sisters in Christ in a way that no one looking onto our relationships can doubt Christ. It recently has been so evident to me that if God is love shouldn't that be the one thing we strive for above all else. If we have love for each other all our other problems will fall into place.

I challenge you (myself included) to truly love today. Love in a way that God exudes through your interactions. Love the differences in people, because just like you they were created in God's image.

Thanks so much guys.

Thank you for one prayer!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I pray for all "the link" kids to look for all the wonderful
blessings that God gives you everyday, be grateful in all things. God promises to ALWAYS
be there in the good times and bad. Every challenge we face makes us stronger, God has
perfect timing...I pray for "the BOD" to continue to touch lives as it has touched mine, we can
change the world one soul at a time.

im asking for all to pray for my family,my wife has left me and my daughters,taking with her our infant 15mo. baby girl.she is wanting time and space from our marriial problems. i believe the enemy is in her heart and has blinded her as she has started thinking of dating again.i have been praying every day for god to forgive her and show her the light and way back to our home.this isn't easy for our girls as they don't understand what is going on with there mom's behavior. i have been begging god everyday and night for her home coming. please keep us in your prayers. thanks to all and god bless everyone.

Marie,
I am praying for Linsey, believing God for a miracle and that His healing hands will be upon her. Also, I am praying for hope, peace and comfort for her parents, family and friends.

Thank you for such a strong devotional. That has been a memory verse for me for several months.

Our (earthly) impossible prayer is for our son to be healed. We found out thru genetic testing that our second son (Caleb) has muscular dystrophy (ducheene or becker). This is a muscle wastings disease. Most boys are in a wheel chair by 10 or 12 and many dont live too far into their 20's. We are broken hearted over this.

God told me "he will be fine and to believe". I know, no, i've seen what God can do. I do struggle with doubt. Fear of loosing my child or seeing him suffer takes over and I ache so deeply. What I do know is God held him before I held him and I know he would be more loved with his heavenly father than I could ever love him here on earth. What we pray for is a miracle. One that says there is no doubt that God exists.

Here is a little bit about that sweet boy. He is eight. He loves frogs, taking pictures, playing with his older brother, eating and more eating, helping me with the dishes, cooking, cleaning the bathroom. His teacher says that he is kind to everyone at school and he never leaves anyone out. When his sister was a baby he would lay next to her and hold her hand, he helps her cross the street and he enjoys reading and tickling his younger brother. He picks flowers for me and is always ready for big hugs and kisses and tickles from mom and dad.

Please pray for a miracle, strength and wisdom for our entire family. Whoever reads this please pass this on to your church and friends to pray for. We have a mighty, big God.

His servant
Marlene

complete reconciliation in our family, we have 3 children and have been divorced for a year now and seperate for 2 years.

My wife and I love children and have been praying that God would allow us to conceive. With family history and other factors... right now that seems impossible.
Thanks for your prayers!

I need a financial miracle. I am believing God to walk me through each step and make a way where there seems to be no way.

I need an impossible situation prayed for. My friend's 7-year old daughter is on the verge of dying. Her body has failed as a result of chemo and radiation to treat a kidney tumor. We need a miracle. Please pray for God to heal Lindsey..

Pastor Perry, Thank you for such a great & honest devotional.

James, you are doing the right thing, praying to the one & only source of strenght & peace.

Kandice, I am believing God for finacial restoration & for healling! I also pray that he would increase your faith in him.

Barbara, you are right, God made her & can make her well, i stand in agreement with you that he will bring her back home healed, because as Jesus said in Matthew 18:19 When two of you get together on anything at all on earth and make a prayer of it, my Father in heaven goes into action.

Matt, I am believing God for your wife salvation, that she would become a great servant of God &
an inspiration to others.

Rodney, I stand in agreement with you & ask God to put everyone attending LifeChurch.tv to be
in a healthy LifeGroup.

I am praying for all the requests listed.

I'm begging God to soften my friend Charlie's heart to His love and grace.

Perry,
Great stuff! Thanks for challenging us to step up our faith level even in what we're asking God for in our prayer life.

I can't tell you mine. It's too impossible to mention. :)

I'm begging God to give me the words to say when reaching out to non-believers so that they may come to know HIS glory and acceptance, as well as his peace and comfort!

I am believing god will provide a wedding and honeymoon,we met 2 years ago at a bar . Had a child togather not married . We started attending victory church oklahoma city and dedicated our lives to the lord. We new we were not living gods will last november he moved out untill god said we were to be togather if we were , because we didnt no. so My prayer is god will provide finances, with 5 children between us and him wanting to go to ministry school , my one prayer is to bring our family under one roof soon.

The impossible for me is finances. In 2005 I became very ill and disabled for about a year. I ran out of FML and lost my job which put the burden soley on my husband who currently works in construction. I lost my health insurance after my COBRA ran out and was no longer "insurable" due to my medical history. I racked up almost $100K in medical debts between my illness and my son being born critically ill in 2007. Thanks to Insure Oklahoma, I now have health coverage but we had to make the very difficult decision to file bankruptcy on those medical bills so we can start over. We are a family of 5 living on my husband's humble salary and I am a full time Nursing student. We have a VERY strict budget and have almost NO room for extras. When we participate in micro-missions or other things like we shorten the list that week to allow for those extra things. It is getting VERY scary with rising prices and it seems impossible to me that we are going to be able to recover financially from something that happened almost 3 years ago. I keep telling myself that if walk God's path he WILL take care of us. I believe it but I would be lying if I said the doubts don't come into my mind often. Lord please help me to push those doubts aside. I KNOW how great you are, you have shown yourself to me many times over; please help me to overcome my doubting nature. I wish to give this all to you!

I am believing God that He will send my mentally ill daughter home this month and on her way He will heal her. Melding her multiple personalities into one healthy mind ,any chemical imbalance will be corrected in the mighty name of Jesus. I ask this in Faith knowing my God is all powerful, always present in our toubles, and He created Kimberly's mind in perfection and is more than capable of getting her an early release from jail and healed .Jesus You are our Savior so I pray in Your Holy name ,I ask and wait on and trust in You Almighty God. Amen

I am begging God for my wife's salvation. She is not a believer, and when I say that, I mean she doesn't even believe there is a god. I don't know if it's denial because of some tragic things that happened to her as a child or what, but in my mind it seems almost impossible that she will believe one day. I'm praying and begging God daily that she will come to know the love of Jesus like I do. Satan blinds the eyes of unbelievers, but I know one day God will tear that veil that Paul talks about and she will see the light.

By the way, Perry, I attend LifeChurch.TV in OKC, but I watch you weekly online. I love your ministry. I praise God for people like you, Craig Groeschel, Steven Furtick, etc. that are blurring the denominational lines and proclaiming the message of Jesus, the most important message.

I am begging for every person attending LifeChurch.tv to be in a HEALTHY LifeGroup, now that is a big prayer and seems impossible to me.

Rodney-OKC

I've prayed according to this verse before - and it works. God answered me because I believed.
He gave me what I asked for simply because I believed. Pray it.
