MOVING MOUNTAINS

There are times in each of our lives that rain falls, hard times come and it helps to reach out to our friends and to our God for a little support. This is the place to express those needs, concerns and situations so others in the AAPK family can keep you in their prayers.

MOVING MOUNTAINS

Post by Quick Steel »

One of our Canadian brothers, Kootanay Joe, is in need of our sustained prayers as he faces a great challenge. He will come along eventually and post his request here but I have his permission to share with you that he has pancreatic cancer. He has respect for the power of prayer and Divine grace.

So please add Joe to your prayers of intercession for our many loved ones in need of healing. If any of you ever pray with a young child, perhaps a grandchild or young niece or nephew, please ask them to pray for Joe's healing. I have learned from experience how the prayers of little children, all simplicity and innocence, hold great influence with Our Lord.

Thank you all for your kind words, thoughts and prayers. I know prayers help those in real need and have been shown to prolong survival.
I will make a proper post soon and outline my early symptoms as this might help someone else. I have surgery booked on March 4th, a Whipple's procedure. It is a long and complex operation and recovery in hospital can take a few weeks.
I was just in hospital for a few days but could not access AAPK because hospital administration had it blocked with "weapons" as the reason. How uneducated so many are about knives.

Roland you are most certainly on my daily prayer list. May our Heavenly Father provide you with comfort and healing. May the medical staff that will provide your care be blessed with the knowledge of God as well as the skills that will be used to cure you. May the Lord bless you and your family.

Roland my friend, I am sorry to hear this. ::teary_eyes::

Father, reassure Roland of your love and care for him individually. You created us as unique individuals and You love us as individuals, each made in your image.
I believe you also gave us each a unique purpose and mission in this life that is for our own best interest.

"For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope." - Jeremiah 29:11

Lord I ask now that Roland would know your peace and not evil, and that he have hope in Jesus and know that you are the great Physician and creator and have authority over every illness, injury, and cancer. I ask Father that you lay Your hand on our friend Roland and remove that cancer that your Name might be glorified and Roland' healed!

I ask this in the might name of Jesus,
Amen

Roland..... you are on my prayer list and I know God will have mercy in your situation.
All your brothers and sisters here are joining in agreement as we pray for you.

Heavenly Father, please touch Roland with your healing hand and sent your angels to stand by him as he goes through this treatment. When times seem the darkest, we know your are the light. Please send healing to our brother. He is a member of our extended family and we love him as a true brother. We thank you for the hope you give us in your word.
May your perfect will be done.

We all join and pray in the Holy name of our Savior Jesus Christ.
