No One To Pray For Them

The other day, while making dinner, I was listening to a song by J. Moss called “The Prayers”. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0wUbK2EssfQ)

The song starts out saying “You know what? I’ve been looking for somebody. Not just anybody, but a special somebody.” Then it asked “Who can get a prayer through? Can anybody out there pray for me, without even knowing what I need? Can anybody pray unselfishly? Can anybody out there pray for me, without even knowing a whole lot about me?” Then it sang of the glory of ‘the prayers of the righteous.’

And I thought for a moment, of those believers out there, who might have no one to help pray with them. For example, I thought of an old woman who might be last of her line, or a young man being held in a prison cell, without any outside support. I knew that there were people out there in this world, who had no one to help them in their prayers to the Lord Jesus. This saddened me.

Then I decided right then and there, to pray for those people.

I didn’t quite know how to begin, (I even thought of speaking in tongues for them, ) but suddenly the words came to me.

‘Oh Jesus,” I began, “please grant the requests of those who are yours, but have no one else to pray for them. Your Word states ‘For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.’ (Matthew 18:20) It also states ‘That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.’ (Matthew 18:19) It doesn’t say in Your Word that we have to be right next to each other. Well Lord, You have also told me that You are not limited by distance, time, or space. (https://dreamsofdunamis.wordpress.com/2012/04/01/pray-for-carolina/) So Lord, I pray as one with them, that You would answer their prayers. Whatever it would be, I ask you along with them, to give it to them, according to Your Will.”

Suddenly, as I was finishing up the last few sentences of this prayer, a vision open up before me. Angels were coming right up to my mouth as I was speaking, and just as the humming bird darts up to a flower to sip its nectar, the angels were taking my words as soon as they came out from my lips, and were darting off elsewhere, to bring them to those who had need of them most.

I gasped when I seen them; they were so beautiful. They moved so fast, that it was hard to see each one clearly. I did see that they did not have wings like most people depict angels to have; I could see no feathers or wings at all on them. But what I did see, was that they moved so very fast, that the lighted air around them moved and swirled around their bodies, forming what some might see and think of as wings. Brightness was foremost, and was ever so slightly highlighted with the iridescent colors of blue, pink, purple, and green.

The moment I finished my prayer, the vision ended.

I marveled at the vision, and at the power that our words have.

I already knew how our words can become a curse against us (https://dreamsofdunamis.wordpress.com/2014/02/14/beware-of-the-jinx-demon/) and I knew that the Word of God was very powerful indeed. (“For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.” – Hebrews 4:12, and ” So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.” Isaiah 55:11) I even knew the power of a believer’s word in claiming blessings for oneself and family. (https://dreamsofdunamis.wordpress.com/2014/10/02/what-ebola-really-is/) But for some reason, it never occurred to me, that the words of praying for someone you don’t even know, could still be so powerful. I had thought that there had to be a personal connection of some kind, for them to have such incredible power.

It is nice to know that my prayers will be brought to those who have need of them most. I pray that I will remember to pray for others, even while doing something as mundane as making supper. I think it would be interesting, to get to heaven, and have the Lord show me just how each of these prayers I uttered ended up helping another. It is exciting to me, to realize that the Lord can still use our prayers for His glory and His kingdom, even while we go about doing our usual work in this world…

The Letters J And H, And 3 Visions That Have Come True

Does anyone know of a government-owned historical building with the letters J and H in its name?

One of my kids came to me a few weeks ago, (the one who foreseen Obama becoming president,) and told me of a vision within a dream that they had. They seen some kind of government-owned historical building being destroyed, and the invasion of troops that surrounded it. This child said it had the letters J and then an H in its name. (Frustratingly the child couldn’t remember the full name.)

This child is not comfortable with some of these kinds of disaster visions/dreams, for the child feels like all it really does is to predict people’s deaths, and doesn’t see them furthering the kingdom of Christ or helping God’s people. I am hoping that by posting this out here on this web site, (BEFORE it happens,) that it WILL serve as a warning to others, and will somehow even end up preserving their life!

*

Some have asked me, about some of the other dreams and visions that have come true. At first, I thought there could be no value in such sharing, for it is always easy for someone to come forth after the event, and then claim that they knew before hand what would happen.  Yet I am sensing that it would still be good to share some of them, to reveal just how some of these visions/dreams were given. It may provide an insight to others with a similar spiritual gift. So this week, I share three of them below:

*

The one predicting Obama’s presidency (As yet, only half of this vision has come true.)

This was a vision, not a dream. The vision lasted only moments. A newscaster, with shoulder length (or around that length,) blonde hair, was wearing a pink-toned business jacket or suit of some kind, and was speaking into a microphone that she held up to her mouth. Behind her, was a low one-story red brick building. Suddenly, the doors to the building opened up, and a group of people came out. The reporter spoke. 

“President Barack Obama and his cabinet members have just exited the building…”

At this, a flurry of flash bulbs went off around the reporter, and other reporters tried to get the attention of the President, but the President just gave a quick nod and a slight smile at the cameras and reporters, and kept walking forward, surrounded by his cabinet members and helpers.

The reporter then continued. “We have been told that the President’s geo-engineering solution has failed, and that they were going to go back to the drawing board to begin the search for another solution to the problem…”

And at this, the vision abruptly ended.

–
A few days after this vision, the Democratic National Convention was trying to decide who they would back as their candidate for president, and they showed a picture of Barack Obama as one of the contenders on the TV screen. As soon as this child seen Obama, they boldly spoke up and told us that this man would be the next president of the United States. When I asked this child, “are you sure?” They shrugged and said “if not this election, then maybe the next one. But at some point, that man will become the president of the United States.” It was then, that the child told me of the vision.

Japan’s 2011 Tsunami

This one was also a short vision. Huge tsunami waves were seen inundating what looked like well-tended farm lands, barns, and roads. When the waves reached an oil refinery, explosions of fireballs broke out, shaking the ground with its tremors. One of them almost looked like a mushroom cloud. Then the vision ended.

This child gave me this vision, a few months before the Japan Tsunami. For every day that nothing happened, we both had that eerie feeling, that something bad was going to happen. But neither of us sensed where it would take place, and as there were no tell-tale voices within the vision, we could not tell where it would hit.

When the Tsunami hit Japan, our whole family watched it as the TV news reports came in, showing the devastation. When the oil refineries were shown exploding, this child looked at me in shock, exclaiming “it’s exactly what I had seen in my vision! Exactly!” Then my child left the room, clearly upset. “I don’t want to see anymore,” this child told us. “I’ve already seen it anyways…”

Haiti’s 2010 Earthquake

This one was also a short vision. All this child could hear and see, were people screaming in terror, their voices suddenly being silenced, and at the same time seeing people running and all the buildings within view, wobble and then collapse in heaps on the ground. Despite the fact that my child had no idea what language these people were speaking, my child could tell that the survivors were crying out for help. This  child knew it was not in America, for most of the people were darker skinned, and looked like they lived in a warmer climate. 

My child did not know where or when this quake would strike, and the urge to somehow warn others was strong, but without more information, felt that they could not. “Besides,” this child thought, “who would take such a warning from someone like me seriously?”

When the news footage of the Haiti quake played over the television, this child sat there watching it for the first few moments, crying. “That was it,” the child told me. “That was the quake I seen in my vision…”
