Prayer Update

“The greatest thing anyone can do for God and man is pray. It is not the only thing; but it is the chief thing. The great people of the earth today are the people who pray. I do not mean those who talk about prayer; not those who can explain about prayer; but I mean those people who take time and pray” - S.D. Gordon

Hi Partners, Family and Friends,

Thank you for joining with me and hundreds of thousands of other Christians around our world, who have prayed to see an end to this Coronavirus!  I really love the quote above because of the truth contained in it.  So many people have responded and are praying.  Again yesterday (Tuesday), I fasted from sun up to sun down and I do thank all those that are able to join in this fasting prayer each Tuesday.  By God's goodness and God's grace, here in Queensland, and from the news reports I have been viewing, we are seeing the curve flatten.  Here in Queensland, Australia, it is not only flattening but dropping off. 

It was so good to see, how God answered our prayers!  That by Easter (Passover), we would see a worldwide drop off to the spread of this Coronavirus. 

Our leaders, health officials are giving out wisdom and advice on what everyone can do, to help stop and hinder the spread of this virus.  We do thank God for the way He is showing the world and its leaders how to tackle and address this pandemic.  We do thank God that He is giving the Scientists medical breakthroughs for the best way to treat people and cure this virus. 

As Christians, we take this battle to the spirit realm and we exercise our God given authority that Jesus has given us, to bind the spread of this virus and its destructive power to mankind and the nations of the earth.  I believe that if the kingdom of darkness, can release such an evil, destroying virus, then we, the Children of God, can pray to our God and Father in heaven, to release a Great Healing, Saving Revival Grace upon the Nations.

Once again, we do praise God for all the health workers, doctors, nurses and everyone on the front line in this battle, helping to save lives.  Let us remember to hold them up in our prayers, that God would keep them safe.  Let us pray for any health worker, that has fallen ill, that they will be healed and recover swiftly.  Let us continue to thank God for all those that be in authority in the Nations, our Presidents, Prime ministers and leaders, that God would continue to give them great wisdom on how to move their Nations forward, to rebuild, recover and grow again after this pandemic passes. Let us pray for all of the businesses and families that are facing financial hardship and ruin from this shutdown.  So many people need our prayers at this point in time.  We need to see a fresh out-pouring of God's Holy Spirit, healing power and love.

I was talking to one of our pastors in India and he was telling me the devastating effects that this virus is having upon that nation.  Businesses, families and especially the poor and vulnerable are suffering.  He himself cannot buy food as the lines are so long due to the shutdown.  He is only eating and rationing out the rice that he has in his home.  He told me he has lost 5kg, just in the last week.  I am getting the same kind of reports from pastors we work with in Pakistan and Kenya and other parts of the world.  Many of these ministries support orphan children and we also do our best to help them support these children.  This worldwide pandemic is hurting untold thousands of people around our world and we must pray to see a complete end to this, as soon as possible.  We need God's miracle intervention and that is where prayer comes in.  God moves in answer to the prayers of faith of His people.  He expects us to call out to Him for His love and mercy.  He expects us to use the authority He has given us, in the mighty name of Jesus to bind Satan's power and call an end to this thing. 

Once again, a big thank you for what everybody is doing in the natural to help stop the spread of this virus.  And a big thank you to all those that are taking the battle to the heavenly realms and breaking Satan's evil power of sickness and destruction, releasing the miracle healing power of God through prayer upon the families and people of the nations. 

Also, thank you to all of you who are sending love offerings, tithes and gifts through the church App and online giving.  We also have our own expenses to cover and ministry to maintain and grow.  You are precious, valuable and loved.  We do thank God for you and appreciate your concern, care and support for this ministry. 

One last thing, this Sunday, I will once again be live on Facebook and joining with me will be Peter & Cristie Robertson, as our guest ministry.  We will also share communion and release the healing power of God, praying for your prayer requests. If you have any specific prayer requests, please email them to general@whm.org.au.

We will go live at approximately 10am, Brisbane, Australia AEST, and we invite you to join with us and share our program with all of your friends.  I know it will be an uplifting and encouraging time.  (Our link to Facebook is below).

God bless and much love,
